Chanced on this Yelp recommendation for dim sum and was happily surprised! The proprietor- a…read moregenuinely happy man, greeted us warmly and shared recommendations, helpful since the dim sum menu had no pictures and the description didn't always follow standard dim sum "terms". The pork stuffed tofu is fantastic- hand stuffed by a kindly gal. It has a deep flavorful sauce with delicious onions and portions are enough to easily feed four. The sticky rice was superb - chunks of sausage, ground pork and a perfect rice texture. The fun dish was the taro rings with stir fried veggies, fungi, and bits of pork, shrimp, and octopus. Really interesting and the texture was great. The shrimp and chive dumplings were also tasty - and with thick shrimp with a very fresh chive taste. Same with the shu mai. Also have to call out the tea - it was far better than we usually get at dim sum. Two of ate still we were stuffed and still had plenty of leftovers. Service was perfect and so friendly and personable. We arrived at 3 on a Sunday so it was less crowded. I can't wait to return and try the crispy duck and green beans and other dishes we saw. The quality and freshness of this dim sum is exceptional.

They were celebrating their 8th anniversary with some Anniversary specials, so my husband and I ordered the premium Wagyu combo which came with an appetizer, sparkling wine (we opted for just regular drink) and bonus Yuzu sherbet dessert for our anniversary. I got the American Wagyu and husband got the A5 Japanese cut. Both soooo delicious, light and very good quality. The selections and portions were more than enough for us and our Dads. We also got the Happy Hour Sake Sampler set for $20 which was tasty as well. The server and workers there were so amazing. Friendly and came by our table numerous times to make sure we were ok. Took pictures for us and just great all around. This was my 2nd time at this location and I know I'll be back more times again. We loved that it wasn't as crowded as dinner hours. It's one of very few hot pot spots where you get your own pot so you can enjoy it the way you like it...Such a lovely spot, a hidden gem in Bellevue. MUST GO FOR SURE.

There were good enough people almost taking up all tables…read more We were waited to be seated after waitress finished serving waters and taking down orders for tables. Something better can be done there I believe. Food wise, if you do not like acidic sauce for your shabby shabby or sukiyaki, don't go. There are 3 choices of soup base, spicy miso, daisi and sukiyaki. We tried the first 2. The daisi soup base is really plain water and a seaweed, not really daisi. Meat is ok. But the whole tasting experience is bland. Vegetable is fresh. Overall comment is I will go there again.

If you're a hot pot lover, this is hands down one of the best places to visit. The broths are rich and delicious, the meats and seafood are fresh, and there is an incredible selection of ingredients to choose from. Excellent service, amazing food, and a wonderful atmosphere. Every visit has been consistently great, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable hot pot experience. I will definitely keep coming back!

However, their weekday lunch special completely changes the game and made it worth coming back! ​The Highlights & Hacks: * ​Lunch Special Value: A solid 4-star deal. You can get a full hotpot meal for under $30 a person, which is almost unheard of for hotpot in Bellevue. * ​Broth Picks: I'm personally not a fan of the tomato broth, so I always stick to a split pot with one spicy broth and one bone broth. * ​DIY Sukiyaki Hack: For any quarter of the pot ordered with plain water, grab ingredients from the sauce bar to mix your own sukiyaki broth! There are tons of easy recipes online, and it's a great way to stretch your flavors. ​Value Breakdown: 2 stars for the expensive a la carte menu, but 4 stars for the lunch special. ​If you go during lunch hours, it is 100% worth it.

The sizzling plate is my favorite and it tastes exactly like my favorite dish from fantang cafe in Kirkland! It has more chilli peppers than i like, but I know a lot of people won't mind it. My 16 month old is enjoying her food with a good appetite, and their highchair actually has a good strap to keep her in place even with her smaller frame. The only downside is that they don't have a baby changing station since kids are probably not their target customers as their food tend to be spicy. Their service is good too.. they were polite and even packed our food for us.

Their most popular dishes are the rice rolls while everyone still complains about how long it takes to make stone pot rice dishes. In case anyone misses the fine print, it takes over 30 minutes. Another couple in the restaurant thought they forgot to make the dish and were yelling into the kitchen. The staff is friendly, though limited with their English. We ordered via the tablet at the front, and the food is brought out to us at the table. A rack on a wall has all the utensils and napkins, etc. Parking is plentiful. The Food: Shrimp Rice Rolls $11.99 - 4 Stars The rice rolls are still as good as I remember them. For some reason, it feels a bit out of balance this time. A lot of rice rolls, not a lot of shrimp. The sauce is fantastic and a must. Signature Beef Brisket Rice Rolls add Egg, $18.99+$1 - 4 Stars This is a beefy take on the rice roll. The added egg provided the yellow hue in the rice roll. Some brisket pieces are fattier. Their version is the traditional style with the chewy bit attached; some folks might hate it due to this. The sauce is also beefy. This is almost a soup, not in a bad way. Clear Soup Beef Offal with Daikon, $12.99 - 0 Stars This was a sad dish. When they say soup, they meant most broth, with few contents. The daikon wasn't tender. The offal and the soup didn't have much flavor. I rarely leave food behind, but I did for this dish. Garlic Fried Chicken Wings, $7.99 - 5 Stars The clear winner of the night were their wings. I believe four pieces of plump and fat wings, perfectly crispy and flavorful. I would order this again.

You're able to self serve your own water, seat yourself, and order from the table using a QR code. An introvert's dream so I definitely have to come dine in some time. My first time ordering from here, we got the Chinese sausage and bacon stone pot rice, stir fried rice noodles with XO sauce, and braised pork feet rice rolls. All were delicious but my favorite was the stone pot rice. Second time I ordered here, I got garlic chicken wings and fries. Loved it! The wings and fries tasted so fresh. Super crispy and juicy, flavorful. And they were super generous with the fries. There were tons and so yummy - crispy on the outside and soft and hot on the inside. Service is good too. Food is always ready when I arrive and the lady is very friendly.

You get a full whole fish packed with flavor, plus your choice of add-in proteins and veggies. Because I was dining with friends with lower spice tolerances, we went with the lowest spice level and it was still incredible. I'm definitely coming back to try the spiciest level next! * ​Dan Dan Noodles: Nailed the exact flavor profile I look for--properly spicy and numbing (ma la) rather than being washed out by overly sweet peanut paste. Cant say it's the best dan dan noodle that I've had but loved that it wasn't too sweet. * ​Smashed Eggplant with Century Egg: I was so hyped to see one of my all-time favorite dishes on the menu! Rich, savory, and delicious. My only wish is that it included a few blistered hot peppers for an extra spicy kick, but it's still a must-order. * ​Lucky Beef Trio: Solid, savory, and very well executed. ​Pro-Tip: The flexible spice scale makes this spot ideal for group dining, even if half your table can't handle high heat! - though it's best to go with friends that has similar spice tolerance to have the most satisfaction

There's more parking behind the plaza where Young Tea is located. Upon entering the restaurant, it was already packed so we had to put our name on the waitlist. After about 20 minutes, we got seated nearby the window. The restaurant did not look too big from the outside but it was spacious when you walk inside. Restaurant had nice Chinese art decors and red painted walls. Our waitress instructed us to scan the menu QR code and order from our phone. Looking at the extensive menu, here are some items we ordered: Sweet and sour pork ribs: Thought this was pretty good. It was sweet and tendered. A good alternative dish if you can't handle spicy food. Dry pot tofu sheets: This was one of our favorites. It is a recommended dish to try when dining here. This dish was spicy and flavorful with lots of spicy peppers and peppercorn. A very numbing dish that requires you to eat with rice. They place the pot on top of an open flame for you to enjoy. A must try item! Dan Dan noodles: I like this way better than DTF. It was flavorful and spicy but a bit salty. Chili oil dumplings: The dumplings were soft and silky, which made the dish very soupy. It wasn't too spicy which was great considered that there were too many spicy items already ordered. Overall, a solid restaurant to try. It was our first time trying Hunan/Sichuan cuisine and it did not disappoint! If your palate can handle spicy, then this place is a must try. I will for sure come back and try their other dishes. Just expect to wait for a bit since it can get busy.

I came here at around 6pm on a weekday and it was busy but fortunately no waiting in line. Mixed Meat Sullungtang (5/5) I got the mixed meat soup and the portion is pretty generous for the price point they are offering it at. $20 for a good quality soup with generous pieces of meat and noodles + kimchi, radish. AND a bowl of rice? That's a VERY good deal. The broth comes pure and unseasoned so don't forget to add salt, pepper, green onions and spice as they recommended to do on the menu. After the seasoning added, it is just creamy, rich, flavorful and very comforting to drink. I got the clear noodles and it is perfectly cooked. I think I'll ask to add extra noodles next time! The kimchi is also good as well. It is not too tangy or acidic and not too salty. Steamed Dumplings (4/5) The steam dumplings are decent and the dipping sauce gave it some good flavor.
