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!

See all

The udon were really good but if you let them sit for a long time they get a bit soggy and lose their texture, mainly a concern if you eat really slow though. Broth was also great, just a tiny bit of spice really added to it Overall I'd definitely come back here!

My girlfriend and I stopped in before a flight, which in hindsight was a mistake. We ordered around 12:30 PM (niku beef udon, garlic pork udon, and chicken karaage), and it took nearly an hour to receive everything. The karaage came out first after about 40 minutes, then one udon about 10 minutes later, and the final dish close to an hour after ordering. Because of this, we weren't able to eat together unless one of us let our food go cold. On top of that, the restaurant itself was uncomfortably cold, which made the long wait feel even worse. It also seemed like many other tables were experiencing similar issues--orders coming out at different times or missing entirely, with customers having to repeatedly follow up. What stood out most was the lack of communication. There was no acknowledgment of the delays, no check-ins, and no apology--not when the food was dropped off, and not even when we left. Given that we had to pay upfront and the price point was $20+ per bowl, it made the experience feel even more disappointing. While the portions were decent and the noodles seemed handmade, the food itself didn't feel particularly special to justify the wait or cost. I truly hope this feedback is helpful. With better timing, communication, and overall service, I think the experience could be much better.

Luckily I was able to snag reservations, but you do sit pretty close to the tables around you. We didn't mind since we had a corner table. To share, we ordered the chicken curry nasi lemak, sayap ayam pedas, and kaya toast. All three dishes were phenomenal, each with its own distinct flavor. The sayap ayam pedas was a huge portion for just 2 people, but we couldn't stop eating. The combination of soy sauce and fish sauce was not overpowering at all and the chicken itself was so juicy. The chicken curry in the nasi lemak was delicious with the coconut rice. Along with the anchovies, egg, peanuts, and sambal, it was a choose-your-own-adventure kind of bite. The kaya toast was the perfectly sweet dish to balance out all the flavors. I especially loved dipping it in the poached egg for a satisfyingly runny bite. I left feeling so full, but so motivated to come back and try more dishes. Highly recommend!

The roti jala is an always-order, and great for sharing. The laksa is really good, and a great option for vegetarians. I personally like the nasi lemak, but just be careful not to add all of the chilis they provide you, as that can really overwhelm the flavor of the dish. The nasi biryani is good -- the beef rendang is wonderfully flavorful but not the most tender rendang I've had. Portions are satisfying, thankfully, since all the entrees are about $20 and up. This place runs like a well-oiled machine. Food comes out quickly and you feel well attended to here.

The start of the journey began with the requisite parking fiasco and issues that are perpetual in the Seattle ID...but that should never, and I mean never, stop an important mission like finding a truly delicious noodle restaurant. When we went in, it was pretty empty. We were immediately sat, and ordered. The hot jasmine tea quickly followed. Our Calamari came out quick and was delicious to the point I nearly had to fight my son for the last piece. I quickly surrendered as he does stab people...see above...he parried my fork and stabbed the last piece before quickly finishing the move. Our mains came out shortly after we finished the calamari. The 14yo ordered beef brisket noodle soup. He said it was delicious, but too spicy after he added too much chili oil. The wife scoffed at the idea that there's such a thing as too much chili oil and ate some of his soup. This was after she dug into her hot pot. I did get a chance to sample the delicate pork pieces and the flavorful rice. The slightly crispy rice at the bottom of the pot were so delicious. I had the Singapore style fried noodles. Really tasty. The noodles had so many flavors from the vegetables to the meats (shrimp, chicken meat & egg, and pork) and the sauce. I enjoyed the meal, and look forward to discovering more dishes to try on our adventures trying to find parking. JuFeng, thank you for the delicious meal!
