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.

When you "line up", you will take a sheet of the selection menu and pencil to write down your order so you can put in your order as soon as you are seated.

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.

We went here…read morefor an early dinner and actually it was quite busy, while the restaurant emptied out during the conventionally peak dinner period. 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. I felt like the rice was a bit lacking in flavor, and they only have the standard soy sauce, not the ones in a sauce tray that is usually a bit sweeter. 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. Noodles seem to be handmade as the texture is a bit uneven, but I appreciate these types of noodles more. Service is standard for a Chinese restaurant - you just need to flag them down and requests are fulfilled in a timely manner

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.

This visit to Ping's Dumpling House was the latter...would have given it zero stars if I could. My wife, her mom, and I had just taken the free Waterfront Shuttle from the Space Needle, and got dropped off right at the entrance to the Chinatown light rail station entrance. I had identified a close-by restaurant we wanted to try for a late lunch (Korean Fried Chicken)...but the handwritten sign on the door indicated that it was unexpectedly closed until dinnertime. My wife really likes XLB's, so decided to stop into this next door restaurant. It's a decent dine-in space, with two storefronts (one being the carryout, the other being the dining space). The greeter/server made it clear she didn't speak fluent English, pointing to a table to sit, and telling us 'to use App'. It was clear she didn't want to be asked questions. We scanned the QR code, and placed our order. The same server came to give us water and plates and chopsticks. My wife asked for forks for her and her mom, and the server obliged but with a bit of a smirk. The beef noodle soup ($13.99) came first, and individual serving cups were provided, with a self-serve ladle. It was a good start...the soup was OK: they used small precooked beef strips, so the broth was probably instant, but the noodles were decent. We ordered two Jasmine tea ($3.99 each) and it came in a styrofoam take-home coffee cup. Never seen that before for dine-in service. The Pork Steamed XLB ($14.99) came next. They were large and numbered 10 so a decent value...but they fell apart as I tried to pick them...the wrappers were basically disintegrating. There were 3 sauces at the table, but all were vinegar based... which my wife doesn't like. The filling was OK. The final delivery was Shrimp Steamed XLB ($16.99) and it had the same problems as above, but with the added feature of the wrapper being badly freezer burnt (see pictures)...it made me question how old these dumplings were. The filling was mealy and could feel little bits of shrimp in some of the dumplings. We all tried to make a go of it though, with my wife asking for some soy sauce to try to make it edible. Throughout, our dining space was becoming more crowded but the server wasn't clearing. I tried putting the done soup container, so we could have make more space, but she ignored it. So the last time she came (and smirked again when my wife asked for soy sauce), I growled at her "Take it away". She understood, but then became the last interaction with her. One is able to pay through the app, so did that and left. Service at 'authentic' Asian restaurants can be very gruff in the beginning, but can often get better with a bit of cajoling. But this was just bad all the way around, with a server that should not be serving customers, a cook that doesn't know how to reheat dim sum (and serves food that should not be served), and a process that doesn't allow any sort of feedback or comped dishes (since everything is done through an app). Difficult to understand how Ping's Dumpling stay in business...and how other reviews can have any sort of positivity.
