    Beef Brisket Chow Fun
    Lesly W.

    I always enjoy coming here when I'm on the Ave and craving some wholesome Cantonese/Taiwanese cuisine. I used to come here all the time when I was a student at UW. It's worth the trip to eat here when I'm hungry. I can eat a full meal plus get myself a bubble tea at the same time. They have a huge selection of dishes to choose from including a chef's special menu. My favorite dishes are the chow fun and braised brisket dishes. The HK style French toast is a must try! The servers and staff here are great. The food comes out quick. Betty, the manager, is friendly and will make sure you're a satisfied customer! It's a convenient location for college students and has a nice casual ambiance!

    Mee sun is so good, easy five stars, but this location is slightly not as good. Since it's less crowded, there's less churn so not everything is fresh out the oven all of the time.

    Super kind people working here! always so welcoming I swing by pretty much every day for lunch (sat/sun) to grab a BBQ pork bun or curry beef bun. They're super filling and honestly hit all the right notes, even nutritionally ;) Been coming here for months now, and they always light up when I walk in and grab like 5 or 6 buns Big thanks to MeeSum! I'm not going anywhere else!!!

    Complimentary soup
    Naomi J.

    Servers were very kind (service 5/5 stars) and the restaurant was pretty quiet at noon on a Friday (ambiance 5/5 stars). If you were looking for food of a similar quality to what Panda Express serves, this is restaurant is a great place for you to try! Similar prices, similar quality, and slightly more authentic. The noodles (3/5 stars) were on the greasy side but I loved the fresh crisp scallions, onions, and sprouts. The original milk tea (4/5 stars) was phenomenal tea, maybe the best I've had in U district, but the boba was overcooked. I appreciated the free soup (3/5 stars) but it tasted like it came from a box.

    Order takeout from Mee Sum . A friend of mine bought my lunch and I ordered Mongolian Beef. This lunch wasn't too bad. The Mongolian Beef was cooked very good. The beef was very tender. The only thing about this order is the price was way too high for lunch special. Other than that it was very tasty.

    Veggie bun bao

    Me Sum was a delight to try. Customer service was really welcoming and friendly. The pastry I got was so delicious on the outside it was a little crispy but then buttery on the inside. I wasn't a huge fan of the pineapple in the veggie roll but the sweetness reminded me of bbq pork bao that I liked. The Singapore noodles were a little underwhelming we wish they had more flavor but the texture and temperature was perfect. The broccoli was low on flavor as well but lots of crunch. The egg rolls were my favorite of the three, they were great I wish I had ordered more. I would personally adventure more in the rolls and bao/buns because they taste most authentic and delicious. It's a welcoming, warm, and yummy smelling cafe.

    Pork Chop Meal
    Ellie W.

    This review is based on order via UberEats experience. I ordered Pork Chop Meal for lunch, and to my surprise, the portion was quite big. For the price $16 during these days, I think it's a good deal. The pork chop was crispy and tasty. The pork chop was chopped into small pieces, so it was easy to pick up. The meal also came with stir fry vegetables, which was also very delicious. There were braised pork sauce and pickled daikon over the rice. That's exactly how an authentic Taiwanese Pork Chop Meal should present. Because of its big portion, I was able to divide it into two meals. Two meals for $16 is a bargain. I will definitely try other food from Mee Sum. Nothing in Seattle can beat its price/portion. Plus, it was delicious. The only reason that I didn't give them 5 stars is that they forgot to include utensils despite of my request. Otherwise, it was a perfect meal.

    Deluxe Pork Belly Over Rice

    Located on the Ave in Udistrict, Mee Sum is always bustling with students looking for a meal. Mee Sum is a quick and casual Chinese food joint with cheap eats and large portions. We ordered the deluxe pork belly over rice which comes with a braised egg and the pork chop meal, which comes with rice, cabbage, and soup. The pork chop meal was OK as the pork chops weren't too crispy by the time we got home (an unfortunate consequence of takeout) and the soup was pretty bland. The pork belly was really delicious, but the braised egg lacked flavor. The portion was huge though! You order and pay at the counter, then take a number and any available table. We opted for takeout this time as there is no parking and the interior of the restaurant was not the cleanest.

    The food is delicious and it also comes out very fast. The portion sizes are generous as well! The chicken in both the popcorn chicken meal and the chicken chow fun are super tender and flavorful. The fried tofu was seasoned well and the sauce went well with it. They also give you soup for dine in and they also offer it even if you're getting take out.

    Chow Fun (Chicken/Beef/Veggie) & Taro Milk Tea

    The food was sooo delicious and at such a good price! The service was very quick, and all of the staff is very kind and helpful. The restaurant is clean and well kept. If in udistrict, come here for amazing boba, pasteries, and food.

    Food was bland and dry. The workers were clearly bias against non Cantonese speakers. Even though the workers spoke good English, they gave the Cantonese customers sitting around us water and refills but not us. Then they would walk past us to ask everyone else how their food was. They also gave us no condiments like chili oil and forgot to make our drink.

    Popcorn Chicken Meal
    Jasmine N.

    this restaurant is the same chain from the location at pike place. we ordered the taiwanese popcorn chicken and it really hit the spot for me. the chicken was crispy and flavorful and the rice had minced meat as well.

    Brown Bear Milk Tea [cola-flavored milk tea -read:pilk]
    AJ L.

    Can't believe I never reviewed this place before. My go-to for a filling, tasty meal on the Ave for my entire time at the UW; conveniently located and their Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken Meal (bowl) goes crazy - everything in it is flavorful, works well with each other, and it's a generous serving size. I'd give them 5* but their menu is unfortunately rather hit or miss - I have yet to meet anyone who liked the complementary side of soup, and certain items, particularly their baked goods, are weirdly lacking given that they're supposed to be a bakery. (And their baked goods are also weirdly expensive) Have tried a variety of other items which were ok. For whatever reason, they have a milk tea flavor I got on a whim that I'm pretty sure is just cola and milk (Brown Bear flavor, under Mee Sum Family Creations.) In other words, they sell pilk bubble tea. Really unsure how to feel about that, but I do think it's pretty funny (even though I was unable to finish it.) Most notable other item, for me, is their pork belly rice bowl - pretty weird, texture-wise, practically a pork paste with no garnish on rice, but it's pretty cheap, very filling and it tastes pretty good, so if I'm not feeling like splurging on the chicken bowl it's a passable substitute. In any case, that chicken bowl is a 5/5. Not exactly gourmet food, but I couldn't ask for more. If you want a big bowl of food on the Ave, in my opinion, it's pretty hard to beat.

    Ordered salted egg prawn. Not as I expected, it was soggy and the prawns were not peeled, and no flavor just fishy.

    WOW! This place is amazing! We first fell in love with Asian Kitchen two years ago when we were…read morelooking for some food to cater a family event. We knew we wanted Chinese food so we made a point of trying more than 15 places before choosing here. The food was so fresh and delicious. We ordered several trays of food for the event along with other Western catered food. At the end of the event, the food from Asian Kitchen was completely gone while we still had other catered food left over. It was clearly a hit. So much so that one of the attendees ended up ordering catering from here for one of their events and we are also ordering catering from them for another upcoming event. We have been so impressed with the quality that we have made special trips out to Asian Kitchen to eat and we live more than 45min away. It has been fantastic every time. Check out the Orange Chicken. It is one of the best we've ever had. That said, everything we've had has been amazing so I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. :)

I ordered the Szechuan Beef with won ton soup and fried rice. 12.95! Real rare find in Seattle now and hard to find a lunch special combo at all. It's also nice to have the won ton soup option. It just has 2 wontons broth and scallion but was good. And a really good veg egg roll! The Szechuan beef was very good and pretty good size. Not entirely authentic Szechuan but I would order it every time. It needed a little chili sauce per my tastes. Service was quick with family operators and grandpa was my water and food runner. Their menu looks pretty good and reasonable pricing so we are going to try this for dinner sometime.
