    good

    The food is amazing, service is fast. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Great overall experience, well worth a revisit!

    Chicken ginseng soup
    Susanna L.

    First time here for dinner. 4 adults and 2 kids We ordered 4 main dishes, 2 little jars of soup ($5.99 each), the mochi pancake and a big bucket of rice It was plenty of food and we even had left overs! The prawns were so good!! Crispy outside and bouncy inside, skip the walnuts though, they are cold and soft The ginseng chicken soup has an of little bones... wish they stained it but taste was good Everything taste good with the prawns being most surprisingly good. Roast pork was sold out which was bummer At the end you get the coconut milk tapioca dessert, it's very cold. I prefer it served warm/ hot but the kids loved it cold. We went on a Monday around 5:40pm, it was really quiet and only 3-5 tables occupied while we were there. Food came quickly besides the soup; I think they forgot We had to ask for forks and water for the kids which some restaurants automatically ask/ give you; otherwise everyone was friendly and food was yummy. Will come back, we usually go to V garden in Great Wall but here is definitely comparable or better? We didn't like triumph valley for dinner dishes

    Wow, I've been back to this location so many times. In those years, this restaurant has changed its owner, name, and chefs at least a couple times. But it's always been a dim sum place. It's.....never been the best dim sum place. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. This time was not bad. Chicken feet: Pretty good. I definitely prefer this sort of flavor and soft texture over the harder ones. It could use maybe a tad more spice though. Fen guo: Delicious, I always like these. Only complaint would be some of these fell apart a tad too easily for some reason though. Pork ribs: Good texture and flavor. Not too oily. Tofu skin roll: Quite good. Although, similar to the feet, I would've preferred just a tad more umami. Sticky rice: Ooohh, these were surprisingly nice. Not only the mushroom and meat, but even the little bit of egg. I do wish there was some fat on the meat though. Tripe: It's good. Tripe is tripe. We also had a winter melon soup that I didn't take a picture of. That was pretty good also. Aside from dim sum, a lot of their menu items are generically Chinese items. It looks more catered to Americans than I remember.

    Crispy and yummy HK Style Pineapple Bun with butter

    This is a new restaurant that serves dim sum all day. They sell bbq chicken, roasted duck and roasted pig in the front area. Many customers came to wait and pick what they want to take home for dinner. A very big restaurant that can seat a few 100. Lots of tables for a banquet or parties. All tables comes with an ordering pad where you can order at your leisure. We ordered three dim sums and a special noodle dish. HK Style Pineapple Bun with Butter, Black Pepper Beef Ox Tripe and Shrimp Rice Roll. The special noodle dish we ordered is Pan Fried Vermicelli with Pickled Vegetables and Beef. We got the dim sum quickly. The HK Pineapple Bun was crispy and delicious. It was my first time eating it. The tripe was tender and delicious. The shrimp rice roll was flavorful. The Vermicelli noodles that I was told after checking on it was it takes 25 to 30 minutes for the dish. I had hoped that they will of told us. We will of ordered something else. The dish came and it was filled with vegetables and vermicelli inside a fried vermicelli cover. The fried vermicelli cover was cut into 6 pieces and you open it and the vegetables came out. It was fun. The pickled vegetables was an acquired taste. Never tried it before .

    This used to be Imperial Garden Restaurant and my family always go here for dim sum. How can you not love dim sum? The restaurant is spacious and they put a bbq area where people can order takeout. Quick service and good dim sum!

    HIGHWAY ROBBERY PRICE!!!

    Super pricey food that tastes bad and owner has really bad attitudes... no thank you, nothing..! We ordered take out : 1. Braised Mix Mushrooms with Beef Granales & Black Ppper...$32.99!!! 2. Honey Walnut Shrimp $25.99!!! 3. House Fried Rice...$20.99!!! Nothing tastes good here and when we picked up the food, the owner was mean and didn't say a word when we handed her money. Her face was super mean, too... very very unfriendly. DO NOT GO THERE! It didn't end there... the food we brought home had some weird smell and tasted rotten... like dead mice!!!

    This place is a vibe. New restaurant by Ranch 99. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by a staff member who graciously seats you at a fancily decorated table. There is a giant screen playing video images and shows w/o audio and a separate small screen with a music video on which also is the music coming over the speakers. Lovely interior. Great service. Good food. Dim sum and full sized entrees. Cannot emphasize how fast and courteous the staff was. Perfect place to celebrate Lunar New Year or any special occasion. Support this new business and check it out!!!

    We used to dine at this place a lot of times when it was called Imperial Garden. We'll, the big sign on top of the bldg still is called imperial garden, but the sign on the door and menu has changed to Heji Restaurant. They also sell bbq pork, roast pork, duck over rice or noddle, or the whole roast pork. It is located in Great Wall shopping center, Kent. Reservation: we called few days ahead for reservation, because we know it's chinese new year. Our reservation was at 5pm, barely anybody there which is perfect. Full service, it is easy to get their attention. Once it hits around 6:30 to 7pm, all the table are pretty full, kinda hard to get the servers' attention for Service. Parking: plenty of free share retail parking Restrooms: female and male restrooms Inside: Fish tank for live seafood Plenty of big round tables for big parties Big screen TV and stage Dine here for chinese lunar new year. They serve the typical Chinese food. No Peking duck FYI. We ordered: Honey walnut shrimp - big shrimp Seafood fish maw soup Salt pepper tofu - soft inside, great seasoning. Preserved vegetables with Pork belly stone pot Steam fish - very fresh, perfect, $46.99 per lb Lobster over noddle $29.99 per lb + cost of noddle $20 Sautéed string bean with xo sauce Chives shrimp dumpling - comes in 3 pcs Pan fried lamb chop w cumin - come in 6pcs It comes with their "interesting" desserts, it's kinda a rice soup but taste like chinese dried plum. None of us like it. Sorry not our expectations when it comes to desserts. We have to check our bill twice because they accidentally add alcohol on ours. No credit card fee. Awesome!

    Deep Fried Tofu with Shrimp - loved the egg tofu base

    Weekday Lunch Take-out Dim sum was good to delicious. Significantly better than the restaurant it replaced (Imperial Garden). Standouts were the soup dumplings and pan fried chive and shrimp dumplings. Would 100% recommend the dim sum menu. BBQ/Roasted Meats: only tried the roasted pork and it was hard as if it was reheated too long. Seasoning seemed okay so it would be worth trying again on weekend to see if it would be fresh then. Even so probably not go-out-of-your-way-for level. Ranch 99 deli next door is better. Service: Counter takeout order/checkout was fast and attentive. Food took acceptable amount of time to prepare/package - not super fast though. Inside: Looks pretty much like any Chinese Banquet Hall. They changed the former Imperial Garden entry point so now there is a host/cashier counter/station at entry.

    Fried buns are delicious

    The environment here is great, the restaurant is very clean and hygienic, the food is surprisingly delicious, the parking lot is free and very large, and the waiters are very nice here!

    After seeing some of my elite yelper buddies gave them good reviews, and this place was just down…read morethe street we decided to check it out for a late lunch. Off of central in Kent closer to s 277th street. There was only one young person in the place with us. Two guys working the place. The owner who catered to us, and the cook. Not sure why I never heard of this place. Owner said they have been open for 3 years now. The food came out fast. We actually ordered too much we had it for three more meals at home. I think overall the food was good. Like I was telling the owner I normally drive to Canada to get Chinese food, or San Fran for dim sum. I'm pretty hard to please. But since I like to support local, I'll bring my friends here another time for lunch. The decor was minimal but nice. From the outside it looked like it was closed, and like it was a home or doctors office. It's right next to a bikini barista. So we missed it the first time. It's a brick building. The tea was really good. The perfect amount of Chinese leaves, and it was nice and hot for a cold blistery day even if it's almost spring.

Service is typical of a Chinese restaurant, and dishes took a while to come out. Dishes we tried: Ginger & Scallion Grass Fish 葱姜脆肉皖 (4.5/5 stars) - $28.99 I've never had fish that's crunchy in texture, it's al dente, almost like cartilage but not as hard. There are also basil in addition to ginger and scallion used to cook the dish, very flavorful and great with rice! Deep fried pork intestine with pickled green 肥肠炒酸菜 (4.5/5 stars) - I've never had this combo before, ans it's good! The intestine is first deep fried, then stir-fried with pickled green, which cuts down the fattiness. Yellow Eel Rice with Crispy Rice 黄鳝饭 (3.5/5 stars) - $65.99 for the small size, which is enough for 3-4 people to share. I love the cripsy rice, but it was a little burnt; the rest of the dish was bland) Garlic flavored square rib (3/5 stars) - battered is thick and crunchy, flavor is average. nothing special. I'm coming back with more people to try more dishes!

There were many who praised and would miss the almond fried chicken which is one of my boyfriend's favorite dishes and it's not too far from my work so we decided to stop by here. We arrived and we got seated right away. We placed our order of a Mai Tai, dinner special combo 1, Dinner special combo 4, walnut prawns, house fried rice, egg rolls and a cup of wonton soup. It didn't take too long for us to get our food and I can see why people were saying they would miss the food. The food portions here are generous and delicious. The almond fried chicken is definitely one of the best that my boyfriend and I ever had, the sauce is to die for! The pork fried rice you get with your combo was meh but the house fried rice not only has amazing wok hei but they were generous with all the ingredients. The wonton was delicious though I wish you would get at least two wontons. The egg rolls here are not frozen and made fresh as they are huge and stuffed with goodies. The walnut prawns were fantastic! The Mai Tai was also so pleasant and refreshing. The egg flower soup was comforting and I love that it had chicken and corn as well. The interior is simple but gorgeous with lovely painted murals. The space is well-lit and there are a lot of tables and chairs at the dining room and plenty of stools at the bar. I do love that bar is darker with lots of string lights and music playing. The employees and owners are super friendly and efficient with all their customers. I wish the owners a happy retirement and hope everyone who gets a chance to come visit while they are open!

    VERY disappointed. I've always walked by this place and wanted to give it a try…read more Sadly, this is yet another restaurant in this area that uses full strength industrial cleaner on their tables. The smell is overpowering. 80%-90% of taste is based on smell. All I could smell was industrial cleaner and could barely taste the food. When the bus person passed by me, the smell was even worse because of the cleaner soaked rag. He was spraying it straight out of the bottle so it was full strength, not diluted. I'm pretty sure if you read the instructions on any harsh chemical like that (I think this was ZEP, by the dark purple color), instructions are to dilute it and to rinse or wipe off with water. I've very sure they do neither here. You shouldn't be using any kind of smelly, harsh chemcial to clean tables in a restaurant. Quat santizer doesn't smell and is the standard practice. Whoever is selling ZEP in this area is making a killing apparently. (I can't dine in at Triumph Valley for the same reason). Harsh chemicals shouldn't be anywhere near food. Think about that when you rescue a wayward dumpling when it bounces onto the table. yuck. Having said that, I expected the beef noodles soup to be more flavorful. The broth was just okay, not as deeply flavored as I would've expected. And the meat was just barely tender enough, but not that impressive either. Fried spring rolls were very oily and the filling was severely overcooked. Complete mush. Not good. I wish I could say better things, but I barely finished half my meal because of the chemical smell. $14.99 for beef noodle soup is a good deal if you can actually taste it. $6.25 not a good deal for mushy, oily spring rolls.

The Homie and I stopped in the Dough Zone location at Kent Station (9/10/26), conveniently located across the free parking garage. Dining onsite, we ordered from the QR code at our table.

If you're ethnic Chinese/Asian looking for true Taiwanese food that'll give you a ratatouille moment, this isn't it. We went on a weekend late night dinner and the place was decently full. We were the only Asians there and the rest of the patrons were Westerners. That should tell you everything you need to know. Ambiance and service was 5/5. Very clean, hip restaurant in a safe part of Seattle. Perfect for a date. More than half of the wait staff was Chinese as were all the kitchen staff from what we could tell, so if you spoke mainly Chinese, you'd be fine and they would be familiar with Taiwanese food. Portion sizes are smaller and pricing matches, respectfully, so you can try different things. I'd say as an adult, you could order a couple plates and you'd be more than full. Food was 3.5-4. Sorry, I can't confidently rate it any higher than a 4. We had to try the beef noodle soup 3.5/5. Broth was good. Vegetables were romaine lettuce which wasn't authentic, but fine. Beef was definitely on the leaner side and definitely tougher (maybe because it was so lean), so maybe this was to cater to western tastes? Noodles were ok... too similar to ramen for our tastes... and that was a comment several of us made, independently. Onion pancake was 3.5/5. Meh, nothing too exciting. Beef sandwich was a dud. 2.5/5. Skip. It was like they took an onion pancake and used it for the roll/skin... pretty oily. Vegetables were just chopped lettuce. No cucumbers or cilantro from my memory, but it's been a few days so maybe I'm not remembering correctly. We also had different xao-long baos (they only had one pork left), cold peanut butter/cucumber noodles, dumplings, spicy cold cucumbers... and they were all 3.5-4ish. Nothing crazy. In the end, again, if you're looking to just get a broad taste of Taiwanese food, this is it. If you're looking to get a genuine taste of Taiwan, this isn't it.
