Mongolian Beef*
Karl G.

Was looking for some food in the neighborhood and my sister recommended I check out Snappy Dragon! They've been open since 1993 and have been serving up northern Chinese wheat-based dishes like dumplings, egg noodles, and ma shu pancakes to the local community ever since. They offer an excellent lunch special Tuesday-Saturday from 11:00am to 4:00pm. For just $13.50/$14.50, you get a full combo: choice of white/brown/fried rice, hot & sour or wonton soup, spring roll or BBQ pork, and a main entrée. In this economy??? Serious value for such a large amount of food. Here's what we tried: - Cashew Chicken -- flavorful sauce with a balanced mix of garlic, peanuts, and peppers; not overly salty - Mongolian Beef -- generous portion of tender beef, sautéed with bok choy, garlic, and chili in a soy-based sauce - BBQ Pork -- came with three slices; a bit on the drier side but still a decent appetizer - Egg Roll -- listed as a spring roll but it's a classic fried egg roll, crispy and satisfying - Wontons -- warm and comforting, came with three per order - Hot & Sour Soup -- well-balanced and warming, with a nice tang and just enough spice I walked in to place my order and everything was ready within 15 minutes! Service was kind and patient, especially while walking me through the lunch menu options. Ambience was small & cozy in the front cashier area but perfect for a takeout only spot. Looks like they also do their own delivery! With such value, quality, and portion size, I'll definitely be grabbing another Snappy Dragon to-go lunch next time I'm in the area.

Lunch special.

I recently came there on a Sunday with a friend for lunch. The place was pretty empty when we arrived, but a few other patrons started to show up. Snappy Dragon has been in Seattle for many years, so it does have a bit of an older feel to it without updating much of the interior. It's nothing flashy, just a casual, almost hole-in-the-wall feel of a restaurant. It's definitely Chinese-American cuisine, so for those looking for authentic traditional Chinese dishes, this isn't the place for it. A nice aspect of Snappy Dragon is that you can get an affordable lunch with decent portions. For an entree, soup, and choice of spring rolls or pork, you get all that together for about $13-$15 depending on what you choose. I went with the Seven Flavor Beef with peanuts entree while my friend had the Mongolian Beef. Both were tasty with a bit of sweetness, though the flavor profile was pretty similar between the two. The BBQ pork was quite dry, making it the least favorite of what I got. Overall, for the price. It's not bad. It's simple and gets the job done.

My FIL has been frequenting Snappy Dragon for years. My husband has had his left overs a few times and kept mentioning how we needed to try it out, in person. We finally got around to going for lunch. Their lunch menu is amazing. All entrees come with your choice of rice, choice of soup, and an appetizer (BBQ Pork OR Spring Roll). The prices range from $12.50-$14.50. I got the Mongolian Beef. The entree portion was generous. Great flavor & tender beef. I picked the BBQ Pork for my appetizer, it came with 3 pieces. It was tasty, wished there was more! My husband got the General Tsos (not on the menu but they offer it as a lunch special!) He chose the Spring Roll, and Hot & Sour soup (he got my portion too bc I'm not a soup person). He enjoyed his food as well. We are itching to go back! Can't beat the price and the food was great!

3.5/5. Came here on a Weds evening. We ordered a variety of dishes at Snappy Dragon including the homemade chow mein snappy dragon noodles, moo shu pork, the 7 spices beef dish, and fried wontons which were all flavorful and generously portioned. Everything came out hot and in a timely manner. Th The fried wontons were our favorite dish, the others just didn't hit as we'd like. Also, I unfortunately ended up with some stomach discomfort afterward. It may have just been an off day as no one else in my group had issues but it was something to note. Overall, the food was tasty and plentiful, and service was friendly. There's limited parking in their parking lot but parking on the main street or in the neighborhood is available.

As you can see I have been a long time fan of Snappy Dragon, I waited forever for indoor dining to resume. I was so happy it was back, I think I only got take out one or two times in the past 4 years. I've been back twice since the reopening and sadly it is not the same. I do appreciate that they still have the same vegetarian menu, the dining room looks the way I remember it, I still love the sauces, but both meals my food has disappointed me. One of my favs was the vegetarian jiao-zi, on my first visit back I ordered 26 pieces for a lot of money. I was so upset to find that they now contain mushrooms (not updated on the menu) and I don't like mushrooms. Ugh. I probably should have tried to send it back, but instead forced myself to eat 25 of them. On this visit my friend also found her noodle dish to be different from memory, seems a machine now assists with the noodle making. My 2nd favorite is the green onion pancake, so I tried this on my next visit, the pancake was way too cakey. I showed my dining partner pictures of the old version and she could totally see what I was talking about. The Kung Pao Tofu was better, but I now have a new favorite place for this elsewhere. Portions were still huge, service was decent. I'm mostly writing this review because I don't want others to experience the let down I did, I might make it back one day but it is definitely going off my radar. The good news is the place has been less crowded, they do still seem to be doing a strong takeout game. I do like the fancy new chopsticks. You can still get tea.

My individual combo- Garlic and Vegetable Chicken, Fried Eggroll and Fried Rice

The restaurant does not have adequate AC, so there are fans to help compensate. Unfortunately, the kitchen is open to the dining area so it gets pretty hot. Service: Very friendly service.

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!!

The mala beef noodles were another highlight. The noodles had an amazing chewy texture with just the right amount of bounce, and you could really taste the freshness of the handmade noodles. The mala sauce was rich and flavorful, with a delicious beefy taste, a satisfying spicy kick, and that signature numbing sensation that makes mala so unique. Everything came together perfectly! The portions were generous, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Great food, generous servings, and excellent service--I'll definitely be back!

They are noted for their handmade/pulled noodles. I like the spicy one. Family likes the kids version. The dumplings are okay, but not superior if you like meaty and rich flavor. The Mapo Tofu is reliable for good flavor and hitting home on a cool day. I haven't had the noodles in soup; only in sauce. But friends like it "wet". Their milk tea is pretty good, too.

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.
