    Reject cookie bags!
    Krystal L.

    Y'all, this place b lookin' old and run down but If you want some fresh rice noodles and become a chef star, this the place to be. You can make your own beef chow fun with gravy or without! Their pricing is great, their noodles are made fresh and in house and they're actually a wholesaler for a lot of other places so if you're feeling like you've perfected a recipe, try buying in bulk and making a party order or start your own biz? I love to cut the rice rolls up into little pieces and make my own XO rice noodles w shrimp, and for the cut rice noodle packs, I love to separate them all and make it with some soy sauce/hoisin and beef! Of course topping everything with green onion is a plus and asian staple The fortune cookie rejects are also great dipped in chocolate and with some toppings. GET TO EXPERIMENTING!

    Go on and walk through, ignore the barred exterior. The inside doesn't have much to show except some large bags of round ("mess up") fortune cookies and smaller bags of flavored proper fortune cookies with fortunes inside (almond, strawberry, ginger, vanilla) The cookies are light and crispy and so much better than ones you get from any panda express like places. Highly highly recommended!! I actually like the flat mess up cookies better than the flavored ones.

    A fortune cookie factory that is just a stone's throw away from......a food bank for the less fortunate. It was strange. Very strange to arrive here to see a huge line up that starts on the underside of the I5 overpass on Weller Street and runs halfway down the block because of people lining up for the food bank. Original owners are from Toishan, a dialect that I can't understand. That's what granny spoke to me with her accent. I couldn't understand most of it but someone else who spoke it, translated it to standard Canto for me. Anyhoo, I got a few bags. The original flavour. Nothing fancy. That's all I needed. They're much, much tastier than anything you can get in Hongcouver. Go figure. The store is old. Four generations old, but they still push out the best cookies I've tasted. $9.95 for a 5 lb bag of the less fortunate variety. Aka, broken and chipped. $3 for 1 lb bag of the regular stuff

    Fortune Cookies!!!

    Love fortune cookies?! This is the freshest and best there is! Literally! They make fresh flat or folded fortune cookies and they're always so fresh - beats the stale ones you get from the restaurants! There's nothing like it in Houston (even with such a large Chinatown) so I had my dad buy me some and ship them over to me cause I miss them so much!!! He use to get these and the Ho fun fresh and we'd go to town! The Ho fun is the soft rice noodles you can buy whole sale and take it home and add some meat or veggies and make it a meal! Can't re-iterate how fresh this place is! Totally worth the shipping costs!!! My bf loves fortune cookies.. well he's in for a Xmas surprise!!

    Quality: I like their thin wonton pi. Haven't used the bag of noodles I bought yet. Service: Lady who answered the phone was very helpful. Normally the other times I've been there, the guy or a lady were helpful as well, making sure that I got what I needed. Girl at the front desk, not so much. I went to pick up the noodles and asked for 10lb of the steamed noodles like the lady on phone told me to do. She went into the back, another customer came in, she came out. She decided to help that customer instead. I got a little upset because she and the other lady decided to have a little chat as well while I was still waiting and my husband was in the car waiting with the baby. No idea what they spoke, it was Cantonese. She then asked if I wanted the box of pan fry noodles. We eventually worked it out and I got my bag of noodles. I wish they had pictures of the noodles though. I'm used to the noodle factories in Hawaii, so I'm not familiar on what the equivalent types are here.

    These guys totally make the best fortune cookies and noodles! Hell, they have been doing it since 1917 and still going strong! My earliest recollection about their fortune cookies was when my father brought home this gigantic, clear bag full of unfortunate fortune cookies (flats). My sister and I were beside ourselves and totally gorged on them; and later getting in trouble with mom because we weren't hungry for dinner! They still sell those 5lb bags of unfortunate fortune cookies for $6.30. They also offer different flavors of fortune cookies. Flavors like: strawberry, lemon, cherry, mint, mocha, cinnamon, apple, blueberry, chocolate and pina colada. These flavored fortune cookies run $1.15 for a 4oz package (16 cookies). If you have some special occasion to celebrate, you can also have them do custom flavors and fortunes for you! I do stop by every once in a while and pick up their fresh noodles. They have 19 different varieties to choose from, though they don't have all of them stocked in the refrigerator case. If there is something you are looking for that isn't there just ask! Fortunes in fortune cookies have changed over the years. These aren't from Tsue Chong, but when I was growing up fortunes weren't so politically correct: Boy, wouldn't it suck to get this one: _______________________________________________ I I I DEATH AND PAIN SURROUNDS YOU I I______________________________________________ I _______________________________________________ I I I YOU WILL MARRY IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS I I______________________________________________ I What? I was 9 years old! Fortunes evolved and got a little silly: Front of fortune: _______________________________________________ I AVOID I I TAKING UNNECESSARY GAMBLES I I______________________________________________ I Back of fortune: _______________________________________________ I YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS I I 4 8 15 16 23 42 I I______________________________________________I What I would like to see: _______________________________________________ I I I OH CRAP! YOU'VE GOT THE CLAP! I I______________________________________________ I _______________________________________________ I I I YOU ARE REALLY STUPID I I______________________________________________ I Today marks my one-year anniversary of my first post on Yelp! Whoo-hoo! What a year it has been! For that first review: http://www.yelp.com/biz/arcane-comics-seattle * I'm sorry that I had to use a previous design. Boo. I'm a man of limited creativity! Lazy too! :D

    I heart unfortunate fortune cookies, nuff said.... Pick up a nice size bag on the cheap, one of the better deals in the ID!! You need noodles? They got'em! In my youth we'd open the fortune cookie and add the words "in bed" to the end of each fortune, for giggles..... I.E. "You like Chinese Food....in bed." Duh! "You will find great fortune in the near future....in bed." OMG! I might have a new career!! "Accept the next proposition you hear....in bed." Sorry honey, cash only.... "You are a happy man....in bed." Like duh! Where's the remote... "Happiness is found when one is not looking...in bed." Honey this is Abby. Abby this is... "You will be the guest of a gracious host...in bed." SCH-WING! YEAH BABY! Ala Austin Powers....

    So worth eating gluten for!

    One of my childhood favorites. I cannot believe I've been coming here for almost 30 years (moved away from Seattle as a child, was visiting for the weekend)! My mom was happy to hear they are still going strong as well. The storefront is on the corner of King and 8th (don't go to the listed Yelp address since that's the business side). You can get a giant bag (either 5lbs) for ~$7-8 of "unfortunately cookies," which are basically rejects. I got a 1x bag of flat chips for $2.25 and they have some smaller bags with fortunes that are sealed and good for sending as gifts/omiyage. You can also get fresh made noodles in the fridge off to the side. While the noodles are also tasty, I am just in awe of how great the cookies are. Cookies-wise, the taste of freshly made original/vanilla fortune cookies is amazing! Their ginger is also great and full of wonderful ginger flavor. Seriously, I cannot recommend trying these enough. After one try, you too may find yourself seeking them out years later. Sometimes the best things really don't need to change and I'm thankful that these cookies haven't!!

    I'm glad I finally got to try Reckless Noodle! I don't find myself outside the main Seattle areas…read moreoften, but Reckless Noodle was definitely worth the venture. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly, and even though their kitchen was backed up with orders, they did their best to serve us quickly and the food was still top notch. The marine-like atmosphere was also fun and made dinner really casual and enjoyable. We got some of the best sellers, the bo la lot, the ma la beef cheek noodles, and the Hokkien wok noodles, and they were all a hit. I enjoyed the different Asian-fusion dishes they had from different cultures as well as their wide selection of drinks. The dishes were all very rich and flavorful, and you get a good amount to share for the price. It was the perfect place to eat while chatting and catching up with a friend.

As mentioned in other reviews, we also experienced a unique and relaxed atmosphere. They had some good local draft options to get started - which is good. We ordered the Bo La Lot Grilled Beed in Betel Leaf for an appetizer and we loved the combination of ingredients and taste. Our brides ordered the Chaca La Vong Wok Seared Tumeric Rockfish and they both enjoyed it. My son ordered the Pad Kee Mao and I went with the Reckless Fried Rice and we both devoured them! Our waitress (her name wasn't on the receipt) was outstanding....super friendly and patient with all of our questions regarding the menu.

    A longtime staple in Seattle's Chinatown, Mike's Noodle House has all the making of an old school…read morespot, making one of the very things I live for: wonton noodle soup. The Chinese name, 全記麵家, has little to do with the name Mike, but is nevertheless an excellent choice for anyone in the area. The staff is very Cantonese through and through. It is a cash only establishment and their menu is heavy on the noodles, be it in soup form or dry. There isn't a ton of room for large groups, but the turnover is quick and thus the weights are usually quite minimal. Service is very good overall and super friendly. I would highly not recommend using their bathroom, as it's tiny, cramped, and not in the best condition. The noodle soups vary from wonton noodles to fishballs. They also specialize in beef brisket and fishballs, making this feel like a bit of a Hong Kong style cafe. Most of the soups average out to be $14-16, depending on size. It's a joy to watch them assemble the bowls in lightning quick fashion. Wontons are excellent. They're plump with just enough skin for texture and are complemented by a fragrant soup and very little skimpage on the noodle (#1). The large dumpling (aka "sui kau") is an excellent wonton alternative for those looking for similar textures. The beef brisket is tender and they also have a dedicated section for just congee. There aren't a lot of places like Mike's anymore, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second for an opportunity to come back. In fact, I'll make sure it's part of the Seattle rotation (#2) for whenever I'm back. __________ (#1) Read: very good portions. (#2) Unless of course, I'm on my way to Vancouver BC.

    I have been coming here since the 2000s so it's very nostalgic for me…read more Very authentic style for a wonton house. The fishball lettuce congee is my go to order along with the sui gai rice noodle soup with added brisket sauce. Portions are always generous. Cash only. Can get busy. Congee can get thin if ordering take out just because of the nature of the dish so would order congee for dine in to keep the consistency.

Good noodles, good chashu, and delicious broth on their "Original" ramen (which is pretty much Tonkotsu, I think). It's lacking in nothing. I also appreciate the way they structure the menu: most toppings are optional (like egg and seaweed) in exchange for a modest base price. Yet even when you add stuff back in, the sum is still reasonable, e.g. with added seaweed and a shot of extra noodles, my bowl came out right around $20 after tax/tip. Service is quick and courteous. This place has only one problem: the wait is damn eternal. I waited 50+ minutes, and the only reason I got in that _fast_ was because I came solo and qualified for counter seating. The couple ahead of me in line waited at least 90... and this was on a Monday! But that's hardly the restaurant's fault.

There can be a long wait, though they are pretty efficient with service and turning over tables. I got the classic ramen with very firm thick noodles and standard broth thickness and richness. I do like that you can customize both the noodles and broth based on your preferences. The flavor was overall okay. Nothing was wrong with it, but nothing particularly stood out or felt unique either. Overall, a solid option if you are craving a classic bowl of ramen!

We got the preserved meat clay pot rice, salt and pepper fried fish filet, and beef brisket and wonton noodle soup. The clay pot rice was okay - the pricing is fair but the execution could be a bit better.

The salt and pepper fried fish filet was good - definitely recommend that for the taste and value. The noodle soup was also good - the wontons were okay but I loved the beef brisket.

This place is a true gem, serving satisfying, delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere at an affordable price. The restaurant looks small from the front, but space is used efficiently and they manage to fit quite a bit of seating into not that large of a dining room. Tables are mostly four tops, quite spacious at that, and surrounded by sturdy wooden chairs. I came for dinner on a Friday evening and there were a few other tables at any given time. Service was quick and our water never ran empty. We had the wontons in hot oil, topped with peanuts, I had the beef chow fun, and my dinner buddy had the pork with hot sauce noodles. The wontons are very very good, stuffed with flavorful pork and swimming in a sauce that sits in that perfect spot at the intersection of hot and sour. The peanuts and scallions add a delightful crunch. Their beef chow fun satisfies every bit of childhood nostalgia I have for this dish, with lots of wok hei, bouncy noodles, and the most tender of beef. I think my favorite beef chow fun in the city still lives at A+ Hong Kong Kitchen, but this is a close second. The portion here is also huge. I am a human vacuum and I actually brought leftovers home, which is rare for me. The pork with hot sauce noodles is seemingly a fusion of zha jiang mian and dan dan noodles. My friend really enjoyed it and actually finished the whole thing, which is saying something given that she doesn't usually eat that much. There are so many other items on the menu that I'm eager to try, so I will definitely be back.
