    Best Chinese food in Snohomish Co. They're a small mom & pop place that uses quality ingredients without special request. My wife and I have been going for 10yrs now, and we've tried just about every place from Snohomish to Edmonds and Bothell to Marysville. Nothing compares.

    Lunch items:  orange chicken, Mongolian beef, and chicken chow mein
    Shaida H.

    Located in a mall in Bothell, a good American-Chinese fusion restaurant. Ordered lunch takeout, and it was good and quick. Lunch orders came with main dish (orange chicken, chicken chow mein, and Mongolian beef), steamed rice, 2 piece fried wontons and soup (egg flower soup). Each lunch entree was $8.50. The orange chicken and Mongolian beef order 4/5 spicy and there was some heat to them. I was surprised the chow mein was made with rice noodles. Would order from them again.

    Combination #3

    I highly recommend hitting up Imperial Wok in Bothell for some excellent Chinese food. The family that owns the restaurant is fantastic, and the food is always fresh and tasty. We ordered the Chicken with Vegetables (w/out mushrooms) and the Combination #3. My wife loved her chicken and vegetables (comes with steamed rice) and she would definitely order that meal again. My combination #3, however, was life changing; it comes with hot and sour soup, a spring roll (plus sweet and sour sauce), crab rangoons (delicious), pork fried rice, and the Really tasty Mandarin Crispy Chicken (delicious beyond words). The meal was reasonably priced, and we will definitely be back soon. Please help support our small, local businesses! Thank you!

    Family dinner for two... only for one really

    They must have changed who was serving good but got diner for two and this is not even close to what's going to Feed us!! All of these are half way filled and have zero flavor in really disappointing, last time it was alright this time it's just not worth it

    Wonton Soup
    Danielle L.

    Sooooooooooooo good! Just delicious! Everything tasted like it was just cut/prepped and just freshly cooked (nothing frozen). Both the man and woman that helped us tonight were very kind and friendly, and helped with questions or extra items we requested. Everything had delicious flavor. My husband and I were stuffed but we couldn't stop eating because it was so good. I got the cashew nut chicken (minus mushrooms) and it's the best I've had in a long time. My husband got the combo #1 with wonton soup, spring roll, pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, and the almond crusted chicken. He was in heaven with everything too. The food was quick, had plenty of parking, nice service, great food. Couldn't ask for anything more. We will definitely be back.

    Kung pao three flavors (shrimp, beef, chicken) - 3 star spicy level
    Tiasa K.

    Tried this Chinese cuisine for the first time today with my family! We ordered the Moo shu chicken, Kung Pao Three Flavors, and Crispy Prawns & Honey Walnut. All three dishes were good but I especially loved the moo shu chicken! It comes with this stir-fry style chicken with bean sprouts, cabbage, and mushrooms and you wrap it in a very thin crepe-like Chinese pancake with a sweet, dark sauce. I loved the flavors in the chicken stir fry and the way it blended in with the sauce and wrap. Definitely recommend the moo shu chicken! The complimentary tea is also good, so ask for that! There's only two people working but the service is very quick and they do a lot more to-go orders rather than dine-in.

    THE quintessential strip mall Chinese-American restaurant. With General Tso's chicken! And it's a Mom & Pop place. That pretty much sums up everything you need to know about this small joint tucked away in the back of the QFC strip mall. The food is solid, but forgettable. Some items are better than others though. Their potstickers are pretty good as is any wok item that they have to make on the spot (cashew chicken). But others that utilize chicken nuggets with sauce (Sweet & sour, orange, sesame, General Tso, Mandarin, etc...) are supremely disappointing. Fried rice & chow main are lacking flavor. But it's very clean and the staff of 2 people are nice, attentive and the guy who works the line knows how to work a wok! Not a bad show while you're waiting.

    Location is hard to find. Google maps shows it on the other side of the complex. People were very nice, but the Orange Chicken was so-so.

    Hands down one of the best Korean Chinese restaurant in the US! This says a lot because I've been…read moreto highly rated ones in LA and in the bay, and Modoo Banjeom is comparable to those, and maybe even better. Reminds me of the ones I've had in Korea. We went for gan jjajang and brisket jjampong, which are not the standard ones that come in the combo meal with tang su yuk, but our server kindly made it into a combo meal. I think these special versions are definitely better than the standard ones which we've tried before here. So much more flavor! The price is quite reasonable and the service was friendly and fast. The restaurant was quite clean! If you're craving Korean Chinese food, I'd recommend here over the newer restaurants in the area.

    If you're coming on a weekend, I would highly recommend that you come when it opens. I noticed that…read moreat 11:15, which is just 15 minutes after opening, that there were already four parties inside, including mine. When we had left just a few minutes shy of 12pm, the restaurant was full and there were a few parties waiting outside. The staff were very attentive and would immediately replenish our radish if we were low. The jjamppong and jjajangmyeon tasted fine, if anything the jjajangmyeon was a little sweet. The fried rice however (without the jjajang sauce) was pretty bland and a bit dry. I don't know if it's intentional because they give the sauce on the side but I'd like to have the rice taste good without the assistance of the sauce. Other than the bland and dry rice, my only other nitpick would be that the jjajangmyeon came out a lot later than the other dishes. Otherwise we paid around $117 (without tip), for five dishes and two appetizers, which I think is pretty good for this area.

Chans Place is hands down delicious and has quickly become our go-to family dinner spot. We've only dined in the restaurant (I've heard mixed opinions on the take out) and while we have our standard appetizer order of Firecracker Shrimp and the Cream Cheese wontons, we always mix up the plates. My favorite plate so far is the Hong Kong style pan fried noodles with chicken - it's is delicious. We also love the Pad Thai, lemon chicken, and the chow mein. We always order with chicken, which they cook perfectly. We've discovered that two appetizers and two plates is the perfect amount of food for our family of four. Worth noting - the firecracker shrimp is the stuff dreams are made of. It's the best I've ever had, anywhere. I reccomend planning ahead on weekends as it can get busy. Weeknights you can be seated no problem. Highly recommend!

The Chan family is welcoming. I order off menu, something that hasn't been on menu for over 10 years, and that's ok. They know what it is and cook it no questions asked. Everything is fantastic. Quality, timeless, and classic Chinese food. So many of my friends eat there now because of me. We eat there once and it becomes a fast fave. Would recommend *highly*

    Wondering if the food was a fluke on our first visit we returned and oh boy, did these guys drop…read morethe ball. The food here is good and worth the drive if you are in the county, but I am dropping my review to 3 stars based on all the issues between both visits. On this visit, we came for dinner. Dinner specials are about 20% more than lunch. You certainly expect a larger portion and, in most cases, the dinners include an egg roll or BBQ pork or something to round out the meal. That was not the case here. Nope, this was just soup entrée and rice and the portion was not larger than the lunch portion. That was the first issue. The second was not having out water refilled, AGAIN. When we asked for water, the woman had an attitude and the customer waiting for his take out said, You, can grab a carafe from the cooler. I had seen them, but not only was one never offered to us, it should have been placed on the table for dine in. A reviewer called the Almond chicken weird. It's not weird, they just use the same process as the sweet and sour chicken instead or pounding out a breast. I've had it this way a few times and actually like it. Each piece is about the size of a Starbursts, but once battered, it puffs up to a fun size Snickers bar. The advantage is a fully coated, crisp piece of chicken. The downside is it's an illusion. It makes a small portion of chicken look like a full-size portion. That said, the chicken was good, well seasoned, battered and cooked perfectly. That same take out customer asked for hot oil, the same thing I asked for on my first trip, the lady reached down and grabbed him a tiny cup. Yes, the same thing we were told they don't have on our first trip. WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON HERE! The final issue was the soup. As mentioned in my initial review, the hot and sour was really good, but when I asked about another cup, I was told I had to buy another lunch. So this time, based on reviews, I tried the wonton soup. It was about $7 and it was in the same size cup as the lunch soup, so maybe 10 oz or even 8. It was packed with 4 wontons, it also had bamboo and carrots and another vegetable that may have been zucchini It was good, but not as good as the hot and sour and not worth the price. This is a $3 cup of soup, not a bowl, either lower the price or increase the portion. The food is an A, but the service is an F. They are inconsistent and since we have been the only dine in customer's on both trips, I guess all your take out people have a different experience. If this place was in our neighborhood, we would get take out, not dine in and we would be selective about what we order. I think the food is 5 star, but everything else is an issue. When you can't trust the people serving you, it's hard to fall in love with a place.

    Losing a loyal customer : one bad experience at a time. I've…read morebeen a regular at InChin's Bamboo Garden for years. After my last visit, I won't be returning and here's exactly why. Unjustified service charge. We were a party of 5. Your own policy adds a mandatory service charge for parties of 6 or more. We were still charged 20% automatically , then handed a tip prompt suggesting another 20%+ on top. That's not a policy, that's a shakedown. We were overcharged. My physical bill read $205. My bank notification said $215. When I went back to question it, staff kept pointing me to a digital bill that showed a different amount than what I had in hand. After pushing back, they acknowledged the discrepancy and offered my mom and me $10 InChin gift cards each as resolution. The gift cards were a trap. They came with a 10-day expiration. I live my life , I can't guarantee I'll return within 10 days, especially after this experience. So that $10 "resolution" is money I'll never see again. I was charged $10 extra AND a service charge I shouldn't have paid. This wasn't a mistake. Mistakes get fixed transparently. This was a string of decisions that benefited the restaurant at the customer's expense and when caught, the "fix" was designed to keep the money anyway. I've recommended this place to friends and family for years. That stops now.

Solid offering. Plenty of different sauces to season to taste. We started with the American Salt and Pepper corn. That was my favorite dish of the meal - a tasty and fun offering. Nice to have something a little different and this one delivered. Spicy and savory. Loved it. We also ordered the yellow curry with chicken. It was good - flavorful and filling. Next up was the Singapore noodles. They were ok but somewhat lacking in "pop" vs. what you might get in a dedicated Chinese restaurant. The last item was the Black Pepper beef. Good but a little bland as well. If I come back I'll definitely order the Salt and Pepper Corn again and explore more of the Indian inspired dishes. I get the feeling that they are stronger in that department vs. the Chinese influenced offerings. The waitstaff was very good - kudos for taking care of us.
