33. Chicken with Broccoli 60. Vegetable with Tofu
Dominique D.

A little neighborhood gem! On our evening walk we passed by New China Express and decided to get takeout since they're open until 9pm. We ordered the Chicken Broccoli ($14.99 ) and the Tofu Vegetables ($13.99) which were ready for takeout in less than 10 minutes! Really good portions and they were friendly as well. Will be returning!

Great food and fast service lady taking orders is always polite! prices are different on the inside menu and there's not a lot of space to sit down and eat but the food is always amazing! I love the fried rice so much it's my go to and packaging is super sturdy!

Family run business near by, from the time I order to the moment the delivery person is at my door is 20 min max! Very tasty! You get free delivery on their site and they usually have a free something with x amount of money spent. I am definitely a new regular!

the location of the restaurant
Jamie Y.

A great neighborhood spot that's truly a hidden gem. I'm shocked this place doesn't have better reviews, as the quality and taste of food here is MUCH better than most Chinese American take out style restaurants in Seattle. Good portions, quick friendly service, and tasty comfort food-all cooked with well tenderized and marinated meat. This is actually one of the only restaurants that velvet their meat-a step most Chinese restaurants in Seattle skip. Depending on what you order, some dishes are prepared more authentic and home style than others. 1. Broccoli beef: well tenderized beef, good portion, good flavor. Good amount of sauce. 2. Honey walnut shrimp: lightly battered, decent sized shrimp, not over cooked. Wish they gave a bit more sauce, and a couple more pieces of shrimp. But overall, a good flavorful dish and decent portion. 3. Honey walnut chicken: good portion, but needed more sauce as it was a bit dry. The chicken is lightly coated in flour before being deep fried, vs dipped in a wet batter and then deep fried. I preferred the honey walnut shrimp to the chicken as it was a bit saucier. 4. Hand pulled noodles: really good and a must get! I am addicted to this dish! This is very much a homestyle/comfort dish. The super thick texture of the noodles are amazing and reminds me of something my grandma used to make. 5. Chicken chow mein: really good. The noodles used in this dish is a thicker cut Shanghai type style noodle vs egg noodles, and is prepared mildly saucy vs dry. Cooked simply, and well flavored. This came free as we ordered more than $45 pre-tax food. Would order again even without the offer. 6. Orange beef: large portion, well flavored, but wish they were a little more heavy handed with the sauce. 7. Curry chicken: large portion, heavy on the mixed vegetables (cabbage, broccoli), 2.5/5 spice level. Wish they added potatoes and coconut as I prefer Cantonese style curries. 8. Shrimp foo young: good portion, large shrimp is used, simple eggs and shrimp with some corn sprinkled in. It comes with a sauce that didn't interest me at all. A bit heavy handed on the salt (only ordered this one time), but the flavor is good. 9. Salt pepper prawns: good portion, they use prawns with the shells off and is lightly battered, great flavor, and good amount of heat. I'm not sure what entree comes with the rice, or if a rice comes complimentary after x dollars spent. We usually order 2-3 entrees and a noodle dish, and it comes with a super small container of rice. Definitely order more if you're into rice. I've only ordered from here a few times, and we were happy and satisfied each time. Looking forward to trying more dishes. This is definitely a take out only restaurant. Small mom and pop. The only reason why I am giving them 4 stars is because I wish some of their dishes were a bit saucier.

Happiness on a plate. Our fav Chinese restaurant closed a few years ago and we have desperately been searching for a new place. Tonight we happily found it! Ordered 5 different entrees and I would go back for any one. Very friendly, fast, and ultra tasty. Hand shaven noodles are pure comfort food and a few fun menu items like strawberry crispy beef were delicious to try. I live by the Husky Stadium but will gladly be driving to grub on this goodness.

We came specifically to try the clay pot rice, and it did not disappoint. The spareribs were…read moremarinated with black bean paste and garlic, and the rice was cooked perfectly, with crispy, slightly charred edges and bottom. With just the right amount of their house-seasoned soy sauce, it was perfection. The restaurant is small, and the dining room was completely full and buzzing with conversation. The AC was also extremely weak--to the point that it felt almost nonexistent. There were basically only two staff members serving the entire room, so while they weren't overly attentive, our water was refilled promptly and empty plates were cleared quickly. It was so loud that the waitress misheard our shrimp order, so we ended up waiting a little longer for the correct dish. However, it still arrived before the clay pot rice. We had already been warned that the clay pot rice takes more than 20 minutes to prepare, so it wasn't a problem. Overall, I really enjoyed dining here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for legitimate, fast-casual Cantonese food. Just look around the dining room--it was about 99% Chinese diners, so you know it's the real deal.

Small, noisy restaurant. Was a little warm/ stuffy when we went (summer evening). It felt like we…read morewere in Hong Kong. My husband commented it's nice because we don't need to worry about our kids being loud since no one can hear them LOL Food is generous proportion, very delicious. We got 3 meals (2 rice plates, 1 baked spaghetti plate and a mango drink) for $61 before tips Our food did take a little longer than other tables but I think it was because what we ordered. We had about half a dish left over for each dish! One server was very kind, the other was ok but it was very busy so he's probably exhausted and it was late Restaurant is small but we sat comfortably. If you don't mind it being loud it's actually great and made me feel at home ... definitely will come again, food is delicious!!

I came here during a trip to Seattle for dinner. Stopped in on a weeknight with no reservation and…read morewow this place is super popular and absolutely packed! There's not too much seating available so I would recommend making a reservation but I was luckily able to snag a table for myself without one. Service was very quick Mala Spicy Beef Dry Mix Noodles (medium spice), 5/5, delicious!! I think the medium was the perfect spice level for me where it wasn't too little or too much and I thought this was quite filling. I was very hungry as I didn't have lunch so I finished the whole bowl but I think if you were eating normally you could have a bit to take away as well! This is an ideal meal for a cold, rainy Seattle day and the restaurant's decor and large fish tank definitely gave it a Chinese restaurant atmosphere

One or two big plush noodles plus all the seasonings and oil oil oil to boot. What's not to love. Keep your loved ones close but your Tums closer with this one. The spicy oiliness of it all sends you to heaven and to heartburn. The apps aren't bad either but it's a heaping bowl- I almost always have leftovers (pro tip is to boil more noodles at home and add them so the meal literally keeps giving for a while) Go early or be prepared to wait. The turnover is wicked fast here you literally order and get your noodles like 1 minute later, and it's majorly slurpable so I feel like you finish pretty quick! Also there's a nice fish tank to look at while you're seated.

As you can see from my two older reviews for this place, I have always been a Xi'an noodles…read moreloyalist and still am. Since my last review the restaurant has closed and reopened, and expanded their menu, to now include more dumplings and varieties of noodles. They also now have a very handy duo of ordering kiosks, which you order at prior to sitting down. I found their kiosks easy to use, which isn't always a given. This being my first visit back in a while, I had to get the spicy cumin lamb biang biang noodles. However I had to try some dumplings, so we shared the lamb dumplings, while my dinner buddy had the spicy cumin lamb rice noodle soup (the same kind of noodles you'd get at a ten second yunnan noodle type of place). They also now have a complimentary side dish bar that has seaweed salad, peanuts, and kimci, as well as some condiment type things like scallions and minced garlic. I helped myself to some seaweed salad to nibble on while waiting for our food, and it was good although food comes out quickly enough that you don't necessarily have to rely on it unless you're really chomping at the bit. The spicy cumin lamb biang biang noodles are just as good as I remember. The biang biang noodles here are perfectly chewy, and the rest of the dish has a lovely flavor aside from just spice. They're generous with lamb and cabbage which add a lot of textural variety to the plate. The lamb dumplings were the sleeper hit of the meal, filled with juicy, tender hunks of lamb surrounded by toothsome clearly hand-rolled wrappers. Absolutely do not skip the lamb dumplings. My dinner buddy really enjoyed her rice noodle soup with spicy cumin lamb, which I think would be a great option on a cold day. Everything is pretty much self serve here, so don't expect full service -- although they did stop by to refill our water once. The food here is so good, though, and prices are so reasonable, that I truly do not care that the experience is pretty bare bones otherwise.

Then you get to choose where you sit. They brought water and chopsticks if your table didn't have any. There was the self serve sauce bar which was clean and organized. The food was really quick but I did go a little after lunch time. I ordered the spicy and tangy beef biang noodles. I had ordered the regular spice, but for me, I would've chosen the spicer one as I like spice but wanted to be safe. There was lots of really good flavors. The overall space and bathroom was very clean and a great spot for lunch!

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. :)

My favorites are their underrated Orange Chicken (for real, they use orange skins to make this, this is not your typical orange chicken, very special!) and beef chow fun (you can really taste the char!). The owner is extremely nice! She is from Hainan and makes a very good & authentic Hainan Chicken Rice upon request! Bonus: Very friendly in terms of adjusting the ingredients of the food, for example you can request no MSG, using white meats only, etc etc.

After researching on Yelp, I learned that Tai Tung is the oldest Chinese restaurant in Seattle and Bruce Lee's favorite restaurant. As a Bruce Lee fan, I knew I wanted to come here. It was a short Uber ride from our Airbnb to the restaurant, which is located in Chinatown. The restaurant has such a nostalgic feeling, like you just entered an 80s kung fu movie set. I felt like I was in China. There's also a huge mural of Bruce Lee on the front wall of the restaurant. I really loved the ambiance. The food was pretty good too. We ordered the shrimp fried rice, combination chow mein, honey walnut shrimp, fried calamari, and Mongolian beef. I liked every single dish, with the honey walnut shrimp and Mongolian beef being my favorites. They also serve complimentary hot tea. Customer service was good, and the prices were very reasonable. I'm so glad I discovered this restaurant and got to try it during my vacation.
