This place was bomb, we loved our quick little dinner here after I got my hair done in the area. It was especially a good sign that it was primarily locals and families coming here for dinner. We were the only non-Asians, but we felt that we were not treated any differently, and we highly appreciated that. The food was fresh, well-priced, surprisingly high-quality, and came quickly. They have their own free parking, and the restaurant itself is nice and clean, which we appreciated. The servers were all very sweet and efficient, we would definitely be back in the area again.
Always love this place. Our first time we tried out was in edmonds location. Plenty of free parking in Bellevue location. Today there's no line. Perfect. Restrooms: men and women restrooms Today we ordered: Taiwanese oyster pancake Shredded chicken cucumber cold noddle sesame sauce Popcorn chicken w rice Sliced lamb water cress with satay sauce Everything is great. Not a fan of the cold sesame noddle. Wish they have stinky tofu. Apparently, they only serve stinky tofu in edmonds location
I got the bamboo pork stir fry (great flavors but portion was small); pork bun (pork was a little dry, but I loved the nice touch of pickles to cut though the fat); and the black pepper pork chop over noodle (my favorite dish of the night!!!)
We came in close to closing time, but service was speedy! We got our orders in and didn't have to wait long before the food arrived. The beef noodle soup was perfect on a cold night. The beef was tender, the soup was rich and warm, and the noodles made for a great slurp. The water spinach couldn't have been eaten faster! Refreshing and familiar - would get again!
Takeaways: salt n pepper fish and sweet and sour pork, winter melon tea Not bad safe corolla option: oyster pancake Straight mid af: popcorn chicken (i mean come on), fried rice Gonna come for the tea and fish. Stuff I normally go to my ex for Cut approved
We went for dinner and were seated pretty quickly. We hadn't been here since precovid and were happy to be back to eat some of our favorite Taiwanese dishes. The clams with basil was a favorite, with plump clams and a yummy sauce. The cold noodles were also nice and we liked the sauce and the egg ribbons, carrots and cucumbers, it was very refreshing to eat. We appreciated that the popcorn chicken came with fried basil as well, though the portion was smaller than expected and some of the pieces of chicken could have been larger. The pork belly in the pork burger and braised pork over rice was pretty disappointing. The meat was too 柴, it was very difficult to chew and eat. We liked the thinness of the wonton wrapper and the filling. The sauce on the spicy wontons could have been less sweet though.
Updating with my post-Covid dine-in experiences at Looking for Chai. On my most recent visit, my friends and I came here after a long climbing session at Bel Red Edgeworks, which is only 5 minutes down the road. We were fortunate to get a table for 6 people at 7pm with no wait, which is a rarity at this place, considering that the last time I was here with my family in November, it was at least a 30 minute to an hour long wait (they have a wait list sheet at the entrance and a very small entry way). Perhaps people were just out of town for the long weekend or maybe there is more competition now that several other Asian restaurants are popping up in the area. Over my past few visits at Looking for Chai, I've tried the... CHIVE FLOWER SAUTÉED WITH TAIWANESE SQUID ($19.50) - this dish is unique and one of my dad's favorite dishes. I personally don't care for how oily it is. As this dish consists mostly of chives, the flavor is overpowering in my opinion and you definitely will be left with stinky breath after eating it. The squid is a little rubbery and doesn't add much to it in my opinion. TLDR- if you absolutely love the taste of chives and green onion, you'll enjoy this dish. If you only like the taste or meh about it, skip it. SIZZLING PLATTER WITH CHICKEN STEAK ($18.50) and SIZZLING PLATTER WITH PORK CHOP ($18.25)- these two dishes are essentially the same, minus the meat. You can also order it with steak for $21.95. This dish, as stated in the name, comes out on a sizzling hot dish with your choice of noodles or rice and choice of black pepper sauce or mushroom sauce. It comes with fried egg, onions, and broccoli. I recommend the pork chop as the chicken was not properly defatted. TIP: if you order rice with this dish, it's served on the side. If you order noodles, it's served on the platter which gives it a little extra crunch! BRAISED PORK OVER RICE ($15.95)- this is one of my favorite Taiwanese dishes, along with the minced pork over rice. They are generous with the pork and give you maybe a half pound or so of juicy and marinated pork belly. It comes with a little bit of minced pork underneath the pork belly, so you get to have the best of both worlds! It is served on top of white rice which soaks in the flavor of the savory meat marinade and comes with a side of pickled mustard cabbage, Bok choy, a marinated hard boiled egg, and a sprinkle of cilantro. You can't beat the flavor of this dish! TAIWANESE SPECIAL BEEF NOODLE SOUP ($15.50)- this is a classic Taiwanese dish. However, I must say that I thought the soup was just okay and that the broth lacked richness. If you want superior beef noodle soup, I would recommend going to Monga off Bel Red instead. This dish contains msg, but I'm sure several other of their dishes also contain msg. SAKURA SHRIMP FRIED RICE ($15.95) - the rice was nicely fried and came with a good XO sauce flavor. However, the shrimps were super tiny and so there wasn't a lot of protein in this dish. TAIWANESE SPICY HOT POT ($17.95) - Looking for Chai serves a variety of different hot pot options with optional add ins. They are served boiling hot over a Bunsen burner. While they are decent portions, I've yet to be impressed by the ones I've tried, including this one. We ordered the broth in mild spice, and there was just the right amount of kick to it, but didn't have much taste to it otherwise While I enjoyed the pork and emoji mushrooms, I think that Boiling Point is a better option if you're looking for individual hot pot. The interior and bathroom are clean. They have a parking lot, but it isn't the best lit at night. Service is decent and we usually get our food within 15-20 minutes after ordering. Overall: 4/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere
The food here is always done right whenever I go, so I'm never surprised to see all the tables filled and people waiting outside whenever I come here on a weekend. All that being said, I did expect a little more here. I was on the waitlist for a bit when I came here with my friend, and we got seated promptly. The inside is noisy with a ton of people, and you're provided with a very extensive menu that has things like rice/noodle dishes, mini hot pots and chef's specials. I've tried some of their rice dishes, their popcorn chicken and even some of their drinks too. This time around, I got their Taiwanese special beef noodle soup and got a side of popcorn chicken. The chicken is bomb as always; very well flavored with a slight touch of spice. The beef noodle soup felt really mild though. The soup base was bland, and that made the already-bland noodles even more bland in this case. The beef was surprisingly flavored well despite all that, and I love how they provided some condiments for my noodles if needed. Despite my recent food experience here, I love how quickly food came out and how service was just speedy and prompt with how many people there were inside.
This is one of my favorite Taiwanese spots in Bellevue. Located in a more quiet area not that far from Downtown Bellevue. The menu is pretty diverse as far as single items and sharable items. I recommend the braised pork rice and also the pancakes. Service is fast and prompt, and the ambience is great for groups or family.
We were starving after playing tennis, and I was craving hearty Taiwanese comfort food. Looking for Chai hit the spot. They also have bubble milk tea along with the extensive food menu! We tried: Braised Pork Bowl ($15.95) - Fatty chunks of braised pork belly served on a heap of rice, accompanied by a soy-seasoned egg, bok choy, and pickled radish. Delicious! Pork Burger ($11.75) - I found the bun a bit heavy, but the pork was nice and fatty. My friends raved about these, though! Beef Noodle Soup ($15.50) - Yummy and flavorful! :) Such generous portions all around! The staff is attentive, and the interior is casual and simple. Overall, a solid experience!
Looking for Chai in Bellevue is great. The crispy chicken is super good, and the stir-fried chives are tasty. The noodles hit the spot too, especially when it's warm out.
Came here with a group of 3 looking for a fast dinner. Service was fast and there is plenty of parking space. I personally really love eggplants, and although their dish was good, it could've been more flavourful. The portion sizes were pretty big as well. If you're sharing family style, I'd recommend getting two dishes + rice to share for two people.

Tucked away in a small strip mall near Bel-Red Road, Looking for Chai is an unassuming Taiwanese cafe with plenty of options for the whole family, ranging from Americanized-Asian (think Black Pepper Steak, Popcorn Chicken, etc.) food to more traditional Taiwanese fare (i.e. Pork Feet Noodle Soup). My party of two was seated immediately at around 6:45pm on a Friday night, though the restaurant was packed to the brim with a buzzy atmosphere. Service is fast and efficient, if not super friendly - we were immediately asked for our order before having any time to peruse the extensive menu! My brother's drink came out in less than five minutes, and our food came out in less than ten, despite the crowded dining room! My brother ordered the Hokkaido Milk Tea with Pearls ($5.50, pearls are an extra $0.70), which he said had a nice caramel flavor with good quality tea, but he didn't love the fact that he wasn't able to adjust the sweetness. The boba pearls had a nice QQ-ness (a term from Taipei denoting a bouncy, al dente texture), and they didn't cheat him at all with using a ton of ice! The pricing is also competitive with other boba places around here, which is also nice. He also ordered the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup ($14.95), which comes with a large portion of wheat noodles, tender beef, and bok choy in a rich, hearty beef broth. He's a teenage boy, so he had no problem finishing off the bowl in addition to his boba (as well as some of my entree), but it would be a great portion for most people! It was warming and well-seasoned on a cold winter day, with fresh green onions and pickled greens served on the side. I ordered the Three Spiced Chicken ($15.95, $2.50 to upgrade to a "meal", which comes with rice, corn, and tomato-egg), which came with a generous amount of small pieces of skin-on, bone-in dark meat. The chicken was immersed in a sweet and savory sauce with basil, bell peppers, and whole cloves of roasted garlic, which made for a really umami-tasting dish with textural contrast. I found that the chicken was cooked perfectly, but I did end up wishing for there to be less skin on the chicken (but that's a personal preference), as it started to become quite greasy and fatty. The corn was cooked really nicely, with an al-dente texture and a natural sweetness, which was great, since corn can often be an afterthought, and the tomato egg was savory and rich while still retaining a punchy acidity from the tomato! Overall, both of us really enjoyed our food, which was not only tasty and generously portioned, but also came out quite fast. Prices here haven't risen as much as other places in the area, so it doesn't seem as though this place was hit as hard by inflation. I would certainly like to come back here sometime to try additional items from their plethora of Taiwanese dishes! read more
You did me a solid. I was in the mood for a good, no frills, reasonably priced, home-style Chinese meal and you delivered. Everything was just right, including the portion sizes. Boba milk tea: solid. It was a busy night, and the waitresses were working hard at a fast clip, yet still managed to be quite attentive. It was a bustling scene, full of my peeps, with an expected wait-always a good sign. Fancy dining? No. Hits the right spot when you need a solid meal? You betcha. Pro-tip: get the butterfly pork Taiwanese style appetizer. This unassuming looking dish was surprisingly delish. read more

This place is busy all way till close! I was thinking it would be Indian food since it has chai in the title. We needed someplace that we could get a snack and was open till 9pm. We got the oyster pancake, which had maybe about 3-4 oysters in the gooey pancake and it wasn't enough for the size so we just ate the gooey parts with not much oyster. We also got the eggplant with basil. The food was mediocre and there's probably better dishes to get. We got tea and they came in a to go cup but we were eating in. The price was $44 for an app, eggplant, and two teas, which I think is pricey for what you get. My friend's and another's car was broken into in the parking lot so make sure to not leave anything valuable in your car even though you think Bellevue is safe! It was a weekday at 9pm so really anytime it can happen. read more

Taiwanese food in Bellevue, WA area. A palate from Vancouver, BC which is spoiled with great Chinese chefs is indeed hard to please. I would say Looking for Chai is good, some hits, some misses but just not up to par with Taiwanese cuisine. Don't get me wrong, I'd definitely go back whenever I'm craving for Chinese food in the area but it's just not quite the 5 stars. Staff mostly speak Mandarin and Taiwanese. They are very efficient. Service is quick read more
Our first question to our server when we came in here last night for dinner was, if they were related to the Edmonds location (next to 99 Ranch), and the server said they were different owners (which was a relief b/c the Edmonds location changed up their menu and I don't like them anymore). Anyways, my mom was happy to eat Taiwanese food on a Tuesday night. It wasn't busy when we arrived at 6 PM but business quickly picked up while we ate. My favorite things we ordered: - 3 Spiced Oyster Mushroom - Popcorn chicken - oyster pancake We ordered a bunch of other stuff to like noodles, and fried fish cake, and veggies, but the top listed were my 3 favorite I would order again. The oyster pancake sauce was a bit off to me, but the pancake itself was what I was expecting. I would come back here again if I was in the area, but honestly I liked Young Cafe a lil more, which is also in Bellevue. read more
Small and hidden on a random street in Bellevue, but I was so impressed by the tastiness of this spot! Dishes were a little small/lacked protein which lowers the overall value but otherwise really yummy flavors in each dish. Will definitely be back. I didnt order so I dont know what the dishes were called, but glad my friend ordered all these for us! read more

A great TW eatery with familiar taste and good service. Too bad I was just passing by; would definitely be a patron if living near. read more
We came here on a Sunday at around 12:20pm and waited 10 minutes to be seated for a party of two. This is the Taiwanese restaurant that my friends seem to like the most in the greater Seattle area and we wanted to check it out. This location is in Bellevue and they also have one in Edmonds. B2 BRAISED PORK OVER RICE ($14.50) - I liked the sauce on the rice but the pork was a little tougher than I expected. I would've liked it to be more tender and melt in your mouth. The fatty part was soft but the meat was not. 3.5/5 B14 TAIWANESE SPECIAL BEEF NOODLE SOUP ($14.50) - The noodles were slightly overcooked and broth was not super flavorful. Some of the beef slices were more tender than others. Unfortunately this dish was not very special as its name suggested. 3/5 C2 CRISPY CHICKEN WITH SPECIAL SPICY SAUCE ($14.95) - Not only was the sauce special, this whole dish was special. The chicken was crunchy on the outside but juicy on the inside. The sauce was indeed spicy as they advertised so make sure you dunk the chicken in it. This was by far our favorite dish and I see why this is so popular. 5/5 The portions for all the dishes were huge and leftovers were more than enough for another meal. I might want to come back and try their other dishes but the C2 would always be a mainstay moving forward. read more
Have ordered via Uber Eats from them a few times and each time food (Taiwanese) has been delicious! I haven't had the chance to dine in but they're located in Northup Center with ample parking (from what I can tell from Google Maps). Anyway, back to the food. My go-to order is the Sliced Lamb sautéed with Taiwanese Satay sauce. It's under Chef Specials on their menu. $12.95 (menu price). This dish is tasty and it's served with vegetables. I don't know what the vegetable is but it reminds me of spinach just more robust. Picture doesn't do justice at all. Keep in mind it was a to-go order and seems the containers were sliding around Uber vehicle. Other dish I've tried but it's been so long that I don't remember how to describe them (a reason to re-order I guess). Taiwanese style stir fried noodles Minced pork sautéed chives in black bean sauce Taiwanese special beef noodle soup Taiwanese pork burger Deep fried chicken steak over rice Passion Fruit mango iced tea (refreshing!) One of these days, will dine in. read more

Looking For Chai is a Taiwanese restaurant located a little bit away from the busy parts of Bellevue (about 3 miles away from Bellevue Square). There is also a parking lot, not the biggest, but it's there and free. We came a little bit after 6:30PM and were seated rather quickly. We came in just before the large crowd of people were coming in to have dinner on a Saturday night. After much deliberation, we decided on ordering three dishes: kimchi with lamb mini hot pot, Sakura shrimp fried rice, and the sweet and sour spareribs. We were definitely full by the time we were ready to leave. We did not finish all the food we ordered, but we took the leftovers home! All the food tasted great, and we were satisfied. read more

The only thing to come out of one of my dates was a recommendation for this restaurant. It was pretty full when we went but we eventually got seats and were served pretty quickly after ordering. The mini hot pot was just the right size and was such a fun experience. Note: the broth is pork based unless you choose the vegetarian one which is tomato based. The salted egg shrimp was different than what I expected but it was really good (one of my friends didn't really like it though). I selected the combo to get rice and the sides (corn and eggs). Would definitely visit again! read more
Friend recommend me this taiwanese place so I decided to try something basic - popcorn chicken with rice. The popcorn chicken could use a little bit more flavor as it didn't have the basil flavor or that salty and peppery taste. It was slightly crunchy but not super crunchy. In addition to the popcorn chicken, the meal included corn kernels, a lightly marinated egg, bokchoy, and white rice topped with minced braised pork (which was a little light in flavor). Overall, the food was okay and considering how pricey it was, if I come back I'll probably try something else. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. GREAT: - Friendly waiters - Fast Service (like, within 10 minutes of ordering our food came) - Clean, cozy restaurant - Amazing value - High quality ingredients - Perfect portions (for family style) FOOD: - Seafood tomato hot pot: Delicious medley of large, succulent prawns, clams bursting with seafood flavor, various tofu bites and balls, vermicelli, and fresh Napa and tomatoes. The flavors blended perfectly, with the taste coming from the savory seafood and tangy tomato rather than a boatload of salt and seasoning. The textures of everything were perfect. SO GOOD. - Sliced beef with water spinach: Perfectly seasoned, but a bit oily for my liking- not bad, though. Satay sauce was very flavorful without being overpowering. Not too salty, meat had great flavor and both beef and vegetables were cooked to a perfect texture. Lovely. - (not pictured) Clams with special basil sauce: Delicious. The sauce had flavor, great basil and soy sauce flavor at that, but didn't cover the oceanic flavor of the fresh, juicy clams. Bell peppers that came with it made it a visual delight and were also delicious. Perfect salt level- I appreciate this restaurant's use of moderation in seasoning! Super cozy, great value, and healthy, delicious food. This place may be a ways off the main road, but don't miss it! There are still so many menu options I want to try...next time... read more
Tasty Taiwanese that I'd love to try again when I'm in the area! Crispy salt and pepper cod - $20 - 4/5 - crispy batter with juicy cod inside - asked for less salt and the spice mixture (scallion, green onions, peppers, salt, pepper) that the fish was tossed in was able to be varied per bite - Around the time that we ordered, I saw that this dish was brought to the table next to us but they commented they didn't order. A few min after we ordered, the dish quickly came out and was a bit lukewarm temp. We wondered why this dish had come out much quicker than the rest... just speculations Tofu seaweed egg combo - $9.5 - 3/5 - not bad but not a personal favorite - strange for me to have braised cold boiled egg and solid dense tofu - seaweed was nice cold and with the sauce provided Hot pot mushroom trio - $16 - 5/5 - came out last - had a subtle/light flavorful broth, can add sauces to modify - had 3 mushroom types, bean noodle, tofu, tomatoes - contents brimming to the top read more

I love this place. Everything about this place just makes it a staple in our routine. Usually when we go its not busy to the point we have to wait long this in my books is a plus. The service is nice but they don't waste time with small talk or are they short and rude. The dishes are made extremely quickly which is another plus when you are hungry. Then comes the food. There is a very good wide variety of food here. I can say I have tried most fo the dishes and very little have I been disappointed. Are you here for the most glamorous Chinese food? This is probably not going to scratch that itch. Are you here for food that reminds you have home cooking? This is the place! So why not four stars if its not high end Chinese food? Well here's the thing, this place does not advertise as high end Chinese food and they are not priced at that level. I love that this place has got portion, price, and flavor all matched properly. read more
One of the best taiwanese restaurants i've ever had! Their portions are amazing, tasty, and such an amazing price for the flavor you get! My boss brought me here and wow, we got their hot pot as well as other items. What I must say is their fried chicken was so crispy and flavorful! I highly recommend coming here and just trying the whole menu, it was delicious. Parking was easy and free. read more

We have come here too many times to count and for good reason - the food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the service is fast and efficient. They are located in a plaza with ample parking in the front and back, but does get crowded due to the popularity of the restaurant. The restaurant itself is cute and homey lined with many small seating tables with a woodsy feel. They have a sign up sheet in the front and a ordering counter for takeout in the back right of the restaurant. The menu is decently large with multiple ordering options for a variety of tastes. We have tried many dishes in the past, but my favorite is the fried chicken with special spicy sauce and the salt pepper pork chop. Their hot pots and popcorn chicken are also phenominal. Everything is seasoned well and their fried foods are delicious and crispy. They also make authentically wonderful bubble tea! I highly recommend their bubble tea if you love genuine milk tea. Whenever we come the servers are kind and fast to take our orders and the food comes out in less than 10 minutes. The servers are also very attentive and efficient. The prices here are very reasonable at about $12-15 a plate and the portions are large! Usually we have extra for a second meal or snack. Overall, great restaurant with phenominal authentic Taiwanese food and drink at a great price. Highly recommend if you are in the area! read more

My favorite part about Looking for Chai was their milk tea--the rest was underwhelming. The sizzle platter felt more like a chicken fried steak. Don't get me wrong, I love a good chicken fried steak, but this was subpar at best. On the positive side, the food came out surprisingly quick for such a small space. It seems like they've mastered efficient table rotations, but the quality of the food needs significant improvement. Attentive service and quick turnaround times are great, but they can't make up for lackluster dishes. read more
Serving authentic Taiwanese dishes in a relatively quieter location than most Asian spots in Bellevue. Fast service, nothing to rave about but this place is comforting and offers dishes I didn't know I would crave until I couldn't access good Taiwanese food. If I lived close, I would come for takeout or order delivery all the time. read more

Looking for Chai is my favorite Taiwanese restaurant so far in the area. The food quality is always consistent and the service is impeccable even when every table is filled. From just the service itself, this place deserves one of my highest rating for many restaurants read more
I had always wanted to try out this traditional Taiwanese restaurant and the food certainly did not disappoint. The menu is a thick booklet full of comfort foods with even other options like personal hot pots and sizzling platters. ----- A8. Oyster Pancake (蚵仔煎) ($10.75). Oysters tasted fresh and the pancake incorporated an adequate amount. Texture was somewhat gooey and taste was sweet from the sauce. ----- B1. Spiced Pork over Rice (滷肉飯) ($6.50 for small and $9.95 for large). The minced braised pork was very soft and flavorful. A great rice dish to accompany with sides. ----- C2. Crispy Chicken with Special Spicy Sauce (椒麻脆皮雞) ($14.95). Chicken was perfectly crispy and the meat was not dry at all. Sauce was light but enough to give a hint of spiciness. ----- C9. Haaka Style Stir Fried Tofu, Pork Belly & Dry Squid (客家小炒) ($15.95). A solid stir-fry with vegetables and a blend of protein. It was not too oily either. ----- Service is astonishingly swift with servers speedily whizzing refilling water or collecting dishes. Outside has a parking lot that is able to accommodate all the customers on a busy lunchtime on Saturday. read more
We were here around 2pm so wait wasn't bad. We ordered a couple of things including sausage fried rice. I love the eggplant basil sauce. The hotpot too was surprisingly packed with other things she good for the 4 of us. The salt and pepper shrimp shell on was also nicely seasoned and crispy. Would definitely come back here to have other things. We used to just order shrimp fried rice but i just wanted to try thier other food and didnt disappoint. Customer service was also great, as my mom and dad were regulars one of the waitresses knew them. The place is kind of a hole in the wall type since it's not a big place but people come there to eat. read more

A friend recommended this place (and only the Bellevue location weirdly) so when we went out for hot pot, we decided to check this place out! The location that my friends and I went to is the one in the Northup Center in Bellevue. There's a parking lot where parking won't be a problem. I got the oolong milk tea with 50% sweetness and less ice. And omg. It was AMAZING! Even though it wasn't roasted (maybe it was but not named), the tea flavor was strong which I really really liked. My friend was not lying when she said this place was really good. She said her favorites were the honey milk tea (which our other friend LOVED) and the chocolate cookie milk tea. I tried the honey milk tea from one of them, and it wasn't too bad! And surprisingly, it wasn't too sweet even with 100% sweetness. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're around the area if you like strong tea flavored drinks. I didn't try the food, but it seemed like a Hong Kong/Taiwanese kind of cuisine. read more
Looking for Chai Seattle offers a mixed dining experience. The shredded pork with bamboo shoots was really delicious, and the sliced lamb with Taiwanese satay was also satisfying. However, the sautéed pork kidney in sesame oil sauce was disappointing; it wasn't cleaned well and had a slight fishy smell. Overall, our visit didn't meet our expectations, but we might give other dishes a try next time as they have a wide variety of options! read more
Ordered a hotpot-pork and pickled cabbage and my partner got the sizzling chicken platter with mushroom sauce. My hotpot dish came with rice. I like to have vegetables with my meals and the hotpot dish came with a good amount. The sauces that was served with it was delicious. I believe one was a bean like sauce and the other sauce was a specially made. My partners dish was tasty. There was a crispy and tasty coating on the chicken. It's not the healthiest dish but my husband loved it. Just be careful cause the dish is hot and splashes thus "sizzling" dish. I thought it was oilier than it needed to be. It had broccoli under the chicken patty The service was great. We went there on a sunday right after they opened. The restaurant was already half full. I noticed most of the other tables ordered a clear noodle -Saifun dish. I'll have to order it next time read more
Looking for Taiwanese food? Then you might just find it at Looking for Chai. Was in the area, and stopped by for lunch on a Saturday. Not too crowded, we were quickly seated and service was fast and staff were friendly. Ordered the taiwanese beef noodle and cookie milk tea. Noodles were delicious and tea was a sweet accompaniment to the meal. It's supposed to look like a potted plant with the cookie crumbs and green straw :D read more
I came here with a few friends to eat after some activities in Bellevue and had an enjoyable experience. Our friends have been here recently so they suggested some of the dishes as well as got a couple of new ones to try. Definitely order a little too much but it was good. Pork belly baos -- these were good, the bread texture was sturdy yet soft. The pork belly was flavorful, the only thing missing was some peanuts to give a contrast in texture as everything was on the softer side. Pork with rice - eh, a lot of rice, and a pretty simple dish, nothing spectacular. Sizzling platter with chicken, noodle, and mushroom sauce. --- I wish the noodle could have benefits from the sizzling plate but it was mushy, and clumpy. The sauce was mainly on top so the rest of the flavor was very mild. The chicken was good though. Crispy chicken salad - definitely like the crispiness and flavor of this dish. Lamb and kimchi hot pot - good for a cold day. Flavor was mild overall and the lamb has a bit of gamey taste. Need the sauce that comes with it. Overall, it was a good. Portions are generous, service is good as well. read more
