From the moment you walk in, the cultural atmosphere stands out--many of the patrons are Asian, and on my visit, a few were even dressed in traditional garments, which added a vibrant, lived-in feel to the space. It's the kind of detail you can't manufacture, and it speaks volumes about the restaurant's credibility within the community. The interior itself is fairly average--nothing particularly modern or upscale--but it doesn't detract from the experience. If anything, it keeps the focus where it belongs: on the food. Service was a bit of a mixed bag. There were only two servers handling the floor, and they were clearly stretched thin. Ordering is done digitally, which helps streamline things, but you can still feel the strain during peak times. That said, the food started arriving quickly--our tofu noodle dish came out almost immediately, while the beef dish lagged behind a bit. Presentation leans traditional in a charming way. The plates and chopsticks have that classic, no-frills aesthetic that complements the overall vibe of the restaurant. Now, let's talk about the food. First, a word of caution: spice levels here are no joke. If you're sensitive to heat, you'll want to dial it down. But if you can handle it, the flavors are absolutely worth it--rich, bold, and deeply satisfying. The tofu was exceptionally soft, almost silky, and clearly freshly prepared. The noodles matched that texture perfectly--tender, well-cooked, and comforting. Pricing is another strong point. For the quality and portion sizes, it's very reasonable, making it an easy spot to revisit without hesitation. Overall, Nine Noodles is a great pick if you're looking for authentic flavors, a culturally immersive atmosphere, and solid value. It's not about fancy decor or polished service--it's about good, honest food. I'd definitely come back.

Which was fine except that we ordered way too much food and our table didn't have enough room for all our dishes hahaha. Dan Dan noodles were great! Zhajiang noodles were a little clumpy, sadly. XLB looked lopsided but tasted perfect. Qbao tasted classic, though maybe less fried than some other locations. Cucumber was great. Kale salad I hadn't had before- I think I wouldn't get it again. Also a huge plus: there is some parking available!!

I'm not gonna lie, the soups and sandwiches are TRASH here. But you don't come to a dumpling house to get any of that. (I do miss their sweet and sour glass noodles though, they were good). Order times are pretty swift, and customer service is nothing to write home about, But I do appreciate that they get around their servers poor English skills by using marked menu's. Makes it a lot easier The one bane of coming here is the fact that they serve the tappiest tap water in existence, WITHOUT ICE. Are we savages???

The food arrived fresh and well-presented, and everything we ordered was flavorful. The highlight of the meal was definitely the chicken wontons - they were perfectly cooked, packed with delicious filling, and full of flavor. They were easily my favorite dish and something I would come back for again. The overall atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and great for a casual meal with friends or family. Prices felt reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. If you're looking for a place with tasty food and friendly service, this is definitely worth a visit. I highly recommend stopping by and making sure to order the chicken wontons - you won't regret it!

The space is minimally decorated, very small, but the food makes up for the lack of pizazz. There was a lady at the front window hand wrapping dumplings, it was a chive and pork wonton. We ordered that, pan fried wontons. It was good but the highlight of the meal was the Shanghai king dumpling and the braised pork on dry noodles. Wow those are amazing. Definitely worth the hype! Be sure to give yourself extra time because there was a wait to be seated on Saturday lunch. And it's a small place.

This is closer to a 3.5 than a 4, a decent experience…read more I came here a couple weeks ago for lunch and have been curious about the place since it was in the same area as Zhangliang malatang and had a good amount of people inside. The space is small and a little narrow, so seating can be pretty limited. My parents and I were lucky enough to grab the last table, and we ordered 4 items: the dry noodle with scallion oil and braised pork chop, the secret dumplings, large wonton, and salty soy milk (dumplings and wonton aren't pictured). I was most curious and most disappointed by the scallion noodle and pork chop. The portion size seemed too small to justify its price point, and I felt the pork chop tasted dry. The noodles however, had a great flavor, so if I were to try the place again, I'd only go for the scallion oil noodles. The dumplings were amazing. They were a little pricey but worth the cost, and worth the restaurant name. The dumplings were larger than most dumpling places I've been to, and the meat and soup inside were super flavorful. The wontons were also good, though it can't beat the pan fried dumplings. The salty soy milk was a very unique experience- it was thicker, rich and flavorful than other salty soy milk soups that I'm used to. It almost has an umami, seafood-ish taste to it. Though I'm not a big fan of soy milk, I enjoyed this dish more than expected! After our meal, we got to choose some magnets to take home, which was a creative and sweet gift. For the overall price point, I don't think I'd be coming here regularly for a meal. I may drop by for choice items like the pan fried dumplings!

I walked from work to a busy restaurant but got seated fairly quick! I love the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. Lots of natural light, modern finishes, great vibes. Onto the food review: - XLB (10/10) juicy, better than DTF - Cucumber Salad (10/10) love the crunch and bright flavors, also better than DTF - Black Pepper Beef (9/10) flavorful, perfect amount of black pepper - Spicy Shrimp Pork Wontons (good 8/10) big shrimp in dumplings! - Dan Dan Noodles (good 8/10) peanuty, nice bouncy noodles - Green Beans (6/10) soggy, not crunchy or wok flavored but do like the mushrooms One thing to note we got the first few dishes within 10-15 minutes. Then after 35+ mins, we received the Black Pepper Beef (we almost had to ask when it would come out). We almost cancelled the green beans as well because it took 50 minutes to come out and when it did, it was soggy and slightly warm (not great). We ended lunch packing some leftovers and the server was very kind to provide us with containers. Will definitely come back for more!!

I was excited to hear they opened a branch in South Lake Union. I've visited the Bellevue location…read morea couple of times and really enjoyed it, so we decided to try this one since it's within walking distance from our home. Instead of driving, we walked over for lunch, especially since parking in the area is quite expensive around $6/hour. I ordered Dan Dan noodles, they were excellent. In my opinion, they serve one of the best dan dan noodles, with a generous amount of sauce and flavorful meat that really stands out. I also think they have some of the best soup dumplings, which are always a must order for me. We decided to try a chicken dish as well, but I didn't realize it was a cold appetizer. I do wish that had been mentioned somewhere. While the sauce was good, I personally didn't enjoy the cold meat. Overall, I would definitely return, mainly for the noodles and soup dumplings. The restaurant itself is quite spacious, though I did notice that the service was a bit slow.

In defiance of my previous review, I've actually visited Xiao Chi Jie twice more, only going for my…read morefavorite dish, Sheng Jian Bao. The store is a little different now that Rooster & Rice has taken over some of the kitchen. In the ordering area, the left two kiosks are solely for Rooster & Rice, while the right three kiosks are for Xiao Chi Jie and Bento Bliss. The menu is drastically shortened, with all the Mila products and the Jianbing being removed. Honestly not a bad removal given how mediocre I thought they were. And surprisingly, pricing ($12.99) for the 5pc Sheng Jian Bao hasn't increased in the almost 2 years since my first visit. Their method of cook is traditional, bunching a large number of bao together with oil and water in an oversized and specialized pan just for this dish (with the required cover for steaming, of course). The quality remains the exact same as my first visit - good amount of fatty interior rendered aspic, strong umami and aromatic flavoring on the pork meatball filling, and a nice thin doughy skin. It's a very solid SJB, and probably the best that can be found in the Seattle metro.

Understandable but came the following week and more than half the items were unavailable. The food tastes the same but was barely warm whereas before it was hot and steaming. At the time we came, they did not have hot sauce and they did not provide sauce for the dumplings until we requested it. Service was okay. Given all the other choices in Bellevue and the price I would not recommend this place. If you want limited choices with barely warm food then this would be your spot.

Would be interested to dine in and see if portions are possibly larger. Walnut Shrimp - comforting shrimp, lightly breaded with a strong honey flavor. It's sweet, savory, and tangy as most are.

Dry-Fried String Beans - Decent serving size for the price relative to others. Again, nothing stood out but it was a consistent and reliable green bean.

I'm so excited we found this place and will definitely be ordering regularly!
