Braised Beef Noodle Soup

Ramen was nice and spicy and tasted really good. Portion is also solid for the price.

ChongQing Shredded Chicken Cold Noodles
Sherry B.

Tried the fried chicken wings this time and although a bit pricey it was yummy! And the Chongqin cold noodle tasted like 酸辣粉 which is spicy and sour noodles, it wasn't what I was expecting but still very good. I think all dishes are good here honestly and you won't have to worry about getting something that's terrible here :)

This place is really yummy. I tried it for the first time on a Sunday around 5 pm so I was able to be seated right away. The food tasted so fresh, and I definitely underestimated their spice level. However, it still tasted great. I also want to recommend their spicy wontons, they're jam packed with pork and sooo savory.

Such a comforting meal on a chilly day! My husband and I came here on a weekend late afternoon during the U District fair for a bite to eat. Service was friendly and we were seated quickly. You order off the QR code on the table. We got the dumplings in chili oil and I got the braised beef noodle soup which tasted soooo good! The meat was so tender and the broth was warming and had great flavor. My husband also got a noodle dish but he said mine was better lol. Overall, would definitely come back for another bowl of noodles.

Braised Beef Noodle Soup

A total lifesaver after starving all day--who knew it would take the form as a hot bowl of beef noodle soup. So delicious, it's got the classic Sichuan numbing spice and the beef was soft and flavorful. Service was great and super fast and the place is small but cozy. Definitely come here with some friends on a cold day for a hearty bowl!

I walked in pretty early in the day, so service was on point. I was sat down and told how to order, they were playing very slow and tranquil music, I almost fell asleep. The food itself was a little disappointing, came out to around $17 with 15% tip, the broth was good but there wasn't really any vegetables which was disappointing.

Spicy Wontons

Saw this place walking down the Ave - popped in for a quick bite. The restaurant was very clean and largely quiet. The staff were friendly and service was quick. I ordered spicy wontons, fried dumplings, and fried rice - everything was tasty. The spicy wontons were definitely my favorite. Everything is done online (scanning the code from the table), I didn't see any printed menus as an option.

top is veggie noodle soup, bottom is beef noodle soup

food: 3/5 service: 2/5 ambiance: 2/5 maybe we went on an off day for the shop, but the last few times we tried to come here, we would get literally turned away and told to get out, even though this was way before closing and we'd be willing to wait. not the best way to gain customers--i can tolerate waiting and irate people, but to get turned away is absolutely insane. nonetheless, we came to visit anyway. this was only the main chef though, the servers are kind and i was only frustrated with the chef. ambiance wise it's pretty blank and clean, the water feels a bit odd due to the fact that they just have pitchers sitting out there all day and it's lukewarm, but not enough to make me mad. however, the food is probably the most unfortunate. they advertise a veggie noodle soup, and since my friend is vegetarian, i do consider that as a factor when i'm looking for something to eat and check menus before i visit. they don't disguise it here though, the vegetarian broth is straight up just their chili oil and water. that was insane to me--no veggie stock guys? then take it off the menu. i ordered their chili wontons, which were not bad, and same with their beef noodle soup. it was below par for what'd i'd expect, and the portions were not that crazy either. because there are more options on the ave, i would most definitely visit those rather than this place. don't get me wrong, the spice is great, but they're not vegetarian friendly, and the portion-to-price ratio isn't enough to get me to come back.

Small Chonqing Shredded Chicken Mixed Noodles ($14.99)
Kristen H.

I stopped into Panda Noodle Bar on a Tuesday at around 1pm to get a quick takeout lunch to eat on the UW Quad when the cherry blossoms were in bloom! Upon entry, the restaurant is small, dark and narrow, but deeper length-wise than it looks, with plenty of seating downstairs and in a loft-like space upstairs. There weren't many people there when I went, but I'm sure it gets crowded on weekends! We ordered directly at the front counter, and service was quick - we simply marked what we wanted on the menu, and then were given buzzers for when our food was ready. Our servers didn't speak much English, but that wasn't really an issue at all, and they were kind and helpful in explaining the different dishes to us. I ended up ordering a Small Chonqing Shredded Chicken Mixed Noodles ($14.99) at a Medium Spicy level. I initially thought the price was quite steep for a noodle dish, but it's a lot of noodles. The dish came with a generous amount of wheat noodles with assorted vegetables (shredded cucumbers, carrots, and peas), peanuts, a small amount of chicken, and a very liberal amount of chili oil. I ended up dumping out a lot of the extra oil, and the noodles were still extremely flavorful - it was just the right amount of spice, with a rich garlicky flavor as well. The crunch of the cucumber and the peanuts also added a nice contrast. Overall, I enjoyed my meal from Panda Noodle Bar, although I wish that there was a bit more protein (there was barely any shredded chicken) and maybe less noodles? I think that it's a great spot for college students (if a bit pricey for what it is), service is fast and friendly, and has a great location - definitely a place I'd stop into to get your noodle fix!

Spicy wontons
Vy M.

Delicious food and great service! I've been wanting to check out this place for a while and finally got to stop in. It's a mom & pop restaurant but the quality is still top tier and food is all reasonably priced. Ordering is done online so it's convenient and easy because most dishes have pictures available. We ordered the garlic spareribs, spicy wontons and braised intestine noodle soup with braised pork added. Everything came out relatively quick and was so good! I usually can't handle the numbing of the mala that is found in many Szechuan cuisine, but this place has a good balance. The dumplings were also nice and chewy, and we got to see them make it while we were eating! Spare ribs were also delicious but I needed some white rice, since I can't eat too much salt. All in all, I highly recommend and can't wait to come back! It's right on the Ave so it's perfect when you're needing some comfort food before/after studying!

Braised pork and braised beef soup large
Celina S.

We ordered a large braised pork soup and large beef noodle soup. The pork was good, it has a chasu vibe more than a fatty pork vibe. The noodles in both bowls were super chewy/QQ. But the beef was not tender and for $20 for a bowl after tax, the amount of ingredients was underwhelming. I was full after but there were no veggies as pictured; mostly broth and noodles and "some" meat. TLDR: noodles have great texture, broth is good, but the meat is underwhelming and expected more veggies in the soup. price is a little high for what this is.

Sichuan Mixed Sauce Noodles Soup
Brittany D.

I came here for lunch and got the spare ribs, beef stew with noodle soup, and mixed sauce noodles. It wasn't busy at all, and we got our food pretty quickly which was nice. The spare ribs were really good! They were crispy but still tender and very warm. The onions were also tasty. I got the beef stew with noodle soup at a mild spice level. My spice tolerance is not the best, but wow the spice really hit. If you like traditional Sichuan spice, this will be great. I personally wasn't the biggest fan of the spice flavor, but I enjoyed the meat and noodles. If you are a big meat eater, I would recommend getting extra meat since it was pretty tender but there wasn't a ton. The mixed sauce noodles were really good, and it had the same noodles as the beef stew. It had a lot more meat, and I enjoyed the spice flavor more than the beef stew. Overall, my experience was good!

Braised Pork Noodle Soup
Priscilla L.

Greeted with enthusiasm! I came with a friend. The guy working insisted on putting our backpacks on chairs for us, which is a cute touch lol. He gave us a quick rundown, telling us to order via scanning on phones. For the food itself, the noodles were yummy! The braised pork is so tender and fatty..I can feel it in my mouth right now. The sauce and broth is so flavorful, I finished the whole bowl despite getting full 2/3rds of the way.

A tiny place with big portion and authentic food…read more We came here on a Sunday afternoon, the restaurant was almost fully packed. I had my all time favorite dish at a Hong Kong café cuisine, gon caau ngau ho (乾炒牛河), aka beef chow fun, along with a childhood favorite drink, iced Horlicks. I liked how everything moved at a quick pace here and yet the staff were still friendly. The best part was that no one stopped by to ask how the food was while your mouth was full, because they already knew the food was good. The beef chow fun was just as good as the ones back home. It was savory and full of wok hei (iykyk). The bean sprouts were added at just the right time, so they were still a slightly crunchy. The sliced beef was tender too. If you like adding extra spice, be sure to try the crunchy chili sauce on the table. It was awesome, fragrant, spicy, and full of flavor. Just be careful not to choke on it, I did, and it wasn't fun. I hadn't had Horlicks in twenty years, and the first sip brought back so many memories. Be sure to stir it well and maybe wait until the ice melts a little, otherwise it may be slightly too sweet. My partner is a vegetarian. He looked through the entire menu and said there weren't many things he could order (listen, people, choose your future SO accordingly if you like sharing big meat dishes). He ended up ordering the curry vegetable rice and added a fried egg. He said the curry was delicious. I tried a bite of it and agreed. I think there may have some coconut milk in it because it was rich and creamy. The rice was a little too dry to my liking. Sitting there and listening to the background music from the Hong Kong TV news, I felt like a kid again.

Parking in ID can be difficult on the weekends, so try to come on weekdays if possible! Help out…read moreall the restaurants in this area! Quick service, free hot tea in plastic cups (a classic), and chili oil at the table. Ask for white pepper btw! Depending on your taste, I like adding white pepper to my fried rice, chow fun, and soup. Wonton soup: the wontons are huge and filled with pork and shrimp. The soup however was kind of sour? Not sure what they added in, but the flavor of the broth was not my favorite. There's so much good wonton soup in the area! I wish this broth was better and more savory. Beef chow fun: pretty tasty and the beef was pretty tender. There was no work hei, so didn't have that distinct flavor Half chicken bone in: this was surprisingly our favorite dish! Steamed chicken with a ginger oil. The ginger made this dish and the chicken was very tender. The chicken comes cold so eat it with some rice and it's the perfect combo

We ordered the Mixed Basket Xiao Long Bao, Lychee Sweet & Sour Pork Tenderloin, Stir fry Chow Mein…read moreNoodles with Chicken. The Chow Mein had a wonderful Wok Hei flavor and the chicken was juicy and tender. It was our favorite of the dishes. The Mixed Basket Xiao Long Bao was super fun to be able to try them all and pick your favorites. Mine was the wagyu beef, the original pork and the truffle. I was kind of sad that they didn't include soy vinegar and chili oil. I feel that those things enhance the Xiao Long Bao. The Lychee Sweet & Sour Pork Tenderloin I was most excited about. Unfortunately, it was the worst dish. The flavor was great. I love that it had lychee in it, but the breading was mush, and the pork was so hard and overcooked. It was inedible. Because of that dish and not including the condiments is my three star review.

We came across the Seattle restaurant week menu and just had to try it. It was $50 for two people…read more We happened to go on the first day of restaurant week so luckily we made a reservation because it got a bit busier around dinner time. The wontons were good, but the chili sauce was the star. It was numbing and a little minty feeling. It was really great over the fried rice, which didn't stand out to me but was good to pair the dishes with. The crab and pork soup dumplings were sooo tasty, I would definitely get them again. The prawns we got were also great, I really enjoyed the crunchy coating and extras that came with it. I really enjoyed the space and food, I will definitely be coming back!

In fact they are better than the same dishes in California. It's a family run restaurant and the people are so nice.

I had been meaning to check Tai Tung out, and having a group is a great opportunity to try a variety of dishes family style. We ordered the fried chicken wings, half peking duck, beef chow fun, beef in oyster sauce (Bruce Lee's favorite), crab fried rice, and noodles with tofu (one girl had to be healthy!) The food was solid and nostalgic. It reminded me of the kind of Chinese food I would get in the 80s and 90s when we went out for Chinese food in New Jersey. We stayed, talking, until the restaurant closed. As my friends packed up and said their goodbyes, the staff noticed me looking around at the different tables. I wanted to find Bruce Lee's favorite table, which I had seen on online reviews of Tai Tung. The staff member very proudly brought us all into the next room, turned on the lights, showed us the photos on the wall, and told us about the history. We got a history and culture lesson with our meal. Best of all, our friends all congratulated me on the "great find!" of a restaurant, and isn't that the kind of validation every Yelper wants?
