Two servers for 6 seated tables. One server became visibly irritated when we asked questions about…read morethe menu, and rushed around as if they had a full house. They seemed to know what they were doing which didn't give off the "I'm new to this" vibe. We ordered fried rice and were told "no fried rice tonight": on our way out the fellows who came in 40 minutes after we sat down had a large plate of fried rice. The meal came with soup, which the sever forgot until we asked (after the entrees were served). When the server brought the check and started clearing the table, another in our party asked for fortune cookies: usually they arrive with the check. We were made to feel as if we were problematic, but again the server obliged. Three of the four in our party spent years working in restaurants. Unless the servers were also the chefs, there's no reason they couldn't handle six tables between the two of them. As for the food: egg roll wraps were doughy, honey walnut prawns were average, chicken dishes were 3/5, bbq pork gets 5/5 but isn't astoundingly fabulous enough to override the abysmal service.

Based on the 159 reviews, I am going to assume maybe the business changed owners and the reviews reset. I will say, I have been reluctant to return here. I don't recall the food or service being impressive. However, on this visit, the service could not have been friendlier and the food was far better than I remember. In the past, we always came here for lunch and even though we came during lunch hours today, we ordered from the dinner menu. We wanted to try an entrée not offered for lunch and it was pretty good. This place did a couple things really well. Their soy sauce was homemade and their chili oil was full of flavor. I'll also say we were the only no Asian's in the restaurant and it's always a good sign when you have an ethnic business and your people are your main customers. We probably won't rush back, but I trust these guys to serve a respectable meal.

If you're looking for a spot in the Renton area that serves authentic Chinese food, then this may…read morebe the spot for you. On our visit, they had a very steady stream of people. Many speaking mandarin, lots speaking English. But anytime I go to a place and it's not filled with Americans but the people the cuisine represents, it's always a good sign. We were immediately greeted and they have quite a few tables. Many of them are the big round tables with the lazy Susan in the middle. Typical and traditional for a family dinner experience with Chinese food. As it's meant to be served and shared with everyone. You don't typically order your own plate. On our visit we ordered the Westlake beef soup, fried eggplant with spicy garlic, seafood chow fun with gravy, and the salt and pepper fried chicken wings. Every single dish was served piping hot and fresh. The chow fun had a hint of the wok char which is super important. And each dish was delicious. The eggplant was so tasty. The garlic extra crispy and not bitter at all. The crispy coating around the tender eggplant- exceptional! The chow fun was well balanced. The seafood cooked perfectly. The chicken wings, I only wish it had more topping on it. But fried well, light batter and seasoned to perfection. The soup was light and with a little white pepper, I was so satisfied. We will definitely be back. The service was great. They were friendly. Just a tip, they don't take American Express.

It was tender and flavorful. You even got a bit of that wok char on it when they cooked it all together with the bell peppers. It was the most satisfying thing we ate. The chicken wings were flavorful as well but didn't love the coating. It was super crunchy but just a little too heavy on the coating for my preference. The pho was not anything I would go out of my way for. But it did its job. And for $13 for a combo pho, I was not mad at it all. Definitely packed with a lot of noodles if you appreciate that too. The broth was solid. The service was friendly. It's a small restaurant with a good amount of seating. Nothing fancy at all. But you don't hear for vibes. You come here for affordable eats that deliver on flavor. I definitely plan on coming back and trying their chow fun. If the calamari had the wok char, I can only hope their chow fun would too. I'll definitely update when I come back and try!

Flavors were spot on, textures were amazing, and they were also really unique. I loved the truffle flavor on the shu mai, and the ham sui gok was done so well here too. I'm a huge salted egg yolk fan, and they did the mochi ball here perfectly too. I want to come back soon!!
