This restaurant is probably the only place inside the Great Wall Shopping Mall in Kent that I'd come to repeatedly for their awesome food! For this visit, I came in a group of 5 to celebrate Mother's Day a day early. Even with that, we had to put our name down on a waitlist, and even wait longer than usual since we did not make a reservation ahead of time through the phone. We did eventually get seated about an hour later and got a big table with the rotating glass in the middle for our family-style eating. For it being really busy and people coming in and out everywhere inside, food came out even faster! I swear it took like 15 or so minutes for all the dishes we got to arrive, and they are huge portions. - Lemon chicken: I always ask for the sauce on the side for this one. This is the only place I know of that uses chicken breast for the meat and not chicken thighs like most other Chinese restaurants do. Chicken tempura is crispy and chicken itself is juicy and really hot. Lemon sauce came on a bigger-than-expected bowl. - Mustard green and sliced pork soup: we asked for this one without the salty egg. Essentially a very clean soup with tofu, veggies, egg whites and small pieces of sliced pork. - Lotus root with fresh squid and peanut: lotus roots were a little crunchy, pretty nice dish overall with the peanuts putting their nutty mark throughout the ingredients. - Salt and pepper sole fillet: very salty but to the point where you don't need any sort of sauce. Came in very piping hot. - Ong cai/water spinach: pretty standard for most Chinese restaurants. Clean and a needed veggie among all the fried and salty dishes we got. - Singaporean style noodles: one of my favorites to get. Curry taste is prevalent, and was maybe a little too spicy for my parents to eat. - Razor clams: not a fan of these but I didn't taste any sand grains when I had a bite, so this was cleaned very well. - Lamb pot: lamb was a little touch to chew, and the fried tofu skins carried a lot more flavor for some reason. This was a humongous meal and we were all very satisfied! From other visits we were considering getting their slow cooked herb soup for this visit but it would be $16 per person so we did pass on it. That being said, dishes here are priced reasonably, and portions are really huge. Highly recommend here for a great meal for large parties! read more

Family friends took me here, honestly surprised I had never been as I have been visiting the Great Wall for over 25 years. The food was delicious! Service is fast and the place is a little cramped but what restaurants in that mall have a ton of space? Worth the visit and I will definitely be returning. read more

Lunch here. Inside the Great Wall shopping center. Decent Chinese food. Staff friendly and efficient. Food came out very quickly and the portion size was generous. The green beans were perfectly done. Tender yet crisp. Mongolian beef was a little bit tough. Ordered the Gen Tsao chicken. Little oily for me and flavor was saltier than I enjoy. Would go again. read more

This restaurant is one of my favorite restaurants for Cantonese Chinese cuisine which is difficult in the seattle area. It never disappoints. Food is very tasty, large portions, and very reasonably priced. I am fortunate that it's not two close to home otherwise I would be eating here several times a week. Lol Reminds me of my Child hood meals cooked my Dad. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious, fresh food. Wonderful flavors and spices. It's authentic Chinese food, so don't come here if you want a Panda Express menu and experience. They do not cater to an American palate, so come and try something new. This place is legit. Never had a bad meal here. It's a hidden gem. read more

I think the chef must've been extra happy today because all I can taste was salt. From the soup to the xo noodles to the wanton to the stir fry. Maybe I will return one day. read more

Whenever we are down south we always end up at the Great Wall mall and find ourselves eating here at V Garden often! It's always so delicious and moderately packed but never a wait to get a table. They have the best comfort food, this time we got the ultimate comfort food combo which is beef chow fun and pork/preserved egg congee. The serving size is really good too so you can have this for multiple meals! read more

A small and quaint restaurant inside of the Great Wall mall. My family and I enjoyed all the food we ordered to go. While we waited 15 minutes for our food, we walked around the mall and bought some treats. The server noticed we were waiting outside and brought the food over to us when it was done. We liked chicken w/black bean sauce, chicken w/string bean, salt and pepper pork and pea vines. read more

I called before driving from Seattle to confirm what time they would close. I walked in the restaurant at 8:00 and they said they were closed. Poor service, they wouldn't even let me order to go. read more

I wanted my usual egg noodle wonton soup at Hue Ky mi ghia next door and forgot they were closed on Tuesday!! Ugh Well leaving the mall I walked by V Garden for the hundredth time so I looked at their menu and decided to give their noodle soup a shot. It wasn't busy at lunch time and sat quickly. Pretty fast service but def felt like the only white guy around. Tea was included and the soup noodles were pretty good size. It was tasty with a lot of bol choy and a pretty good broth. Overall it was not near as tasty broth wise or goodies like charred garlic and Chinese celery and greens etc as the place next door and the price a bit more. I would only go this way here on a Tuesday. It looked like they have pretty good food in general and my review should be a bit closer to 4 stars but didn't cut it by comparison to my favorite. The server had expected to keep all my change so good tip for my one and only meal here.! read more

Finally tried this place and loved it! Every time I pass by V garden on my way to 99 Ranch I wonder if it's worth going. I stopped by and looked at menu and it has what I wanted Peking Duck, egg foo Yong and several other items. So I gathered few friends and tried. Ever since then I've been back regularly. I love the steamed fish. Lobster. Dungeons crab. Salted cooked chicken. Peking duck. Just to name a few. the menu selection is huge. Portion is awesome. They can get busy so I like to go in for lunch. Service is quick and the ladies are nice. Ingredients are fresh. What's not to like. read more

Why is it that the best Chinese food restaurants have under four stars on Yelp? This place is amazing! Holy hell- every single thing we ordered was fantastic. The salt fish fried rice, veggies, the fried eggplant (not gf), shrimp with walnut (not gf) and more! I definitely will recommend and return when I'm in town! Eat here. There's a wait but it will be worth it! read more

Really solid, classic, go-to spot for all the foods that I'm nostalgic for. There were a lot of families and grandparents at this place on a busy Friday night, which I took as a good sign. One dish that stood out was the salt and pepper squid - soft and not chewy at all, with a crispy light batter and flavorful seasoning. But all of our dishes were great! The tea could be improved (it tasted like some sort of instant brew). Prices were reasonable (on average, $18+ for most dishes, each family style) and we had plenty left over for the 2 of us. Will be coming back with a larger group to try more next time! read more

V Garden is the closest I've found to authentic Chinatown flavors, in the South. The prices are reasonable, with most entrées under $20--though some dishes may be a bit more. Overall, the pricing at V Garden is pretty decent. Parking is a hassle, but the restaurant ambiance is small and well-maintained. It has become my go-to spot whenever I'm craving good Chinese food but don't feel like making the trip to Chinatown. It always hits the spot! read more

This is located inside the plaza that has 99 ranch, on the far end across from Bambu. There's a lot of parking for the plaza, but when we went it was actually quite hard to get a spot. There was a wait-list to eat here, although the wait wasnt too long. A couple groups were asked to sit together to save space (groups of 2 and 2/3). We came here for Father's Day and ordered a bunch of random dishes. One of their dishes was advertised on the window and walls but not available (out of season). We wanted to order but it was hard to flag someone down. When we asked what kind of fish was used for a fish dish, the server didn't know and didn't care to figure it out either. It was surprising how oily the food was- more than the average chinese restaurant, it felt, even for the non-fries dishes. That said it was still pretty tasty and they came out pretty fast. Prices were about $20 a dish and it didn't seem to matter much what kind of dish it was. The portions were decently large. Waffling between 3 and 4 and leaning 3 because I'm not sure I'd come again any time soon given the wait and how greasy it is. Probably would try a new place instead. read more

Surprisingly good. It's a very unassuming small restaurant in the Great Wall Mall in Kent. It doesn't look like much from the outside and is quite small inside, just two big tables at the rear wall and about ten 2-4 people tables. But on the Sunday we went there were 4 fast and efficient servers so service and food was fast and I never had to wait to ask for something. They were also very friendly. Food was good. Very flavorful and the portions were big. I've been here 3 times and the last time we ordered beef ho fun, seafood egg noodles, peking duck with mantou(?), honey walnut shrimp, sizzling plate beef, duck, fish maw soup, deep fried eggplant, deep fried calamari, crab with e-noodles, stone pot rice and one other dish I didn't eat. It was a lot of food for our big party and over $300. But it was worth it. We took almost half the stuff home because the plates were so big. I don't know how else to describe it but the flavors all hit the right spot, just the right amount of sweetness or umami. So in summary, lots of food, good flavors and good service. I should come here more. read more

Ordered whole roast to go.Small size and missing meat.Wont be back.Really disappointed.

I am from HK and always looking for good Chinese. Our 2 go to dishes is the black pepper beef and pea leave vegetables. That 2, with a bowl of rice is a prefect meal. Service is always good. Price is reasonable.I read more

I stopped by for lunch with my mom today. The restaurant was busy but we thankfully didn't have to wait to be seated. The food was pretty good! We ordered the roast duck which was recommend to us by the waitress and it was honestly really good and fresh! We also ordered the garlic pea sprouts and a beef hofun. Overall I enjoyed the food and would come back if I had the chance! read more

Ordered Gen Tso Chicken, Stir-fried noodles with beef, and combination fried rice. Overall, the food lacks flavor, but if I were to guess, its probably because they don't use MSG...which is not exactly a bad thing. Stir-fried noodles and beef had that nice subtle smoke taste that only a high temp wok can deliver. The fried rice and Gen Tso lacked depth.. And the texture was a little off but that could have been because the Uber Eats guy was really late. The longer you wait, the soggier it gets. read more

The food here is still really good. I'm guessing their prices went up since the pandemic. Seems like the prices keep increasing as I've gone through so many versions of their menu with pricing changes over the past couple of years. Ordered three dishes and the total was almost $50. It's still worth it to me instead of driving to the International District. Peking Pork Chops - good flavor but portion size was on the smaller side and many fatty pieces that were inedible. Chicken w Black Bean Chow Fun - very solid dish and the portion size was perfect. Salty Fish and Chicken Fried Rice - this is one of my favorites! It is an acquired taste because of the salty fish, but if I'm being honest..I try to dig for the small chunks of fish in this dish. Good quality food, but not the best value. If you're willing to spend a little more for tasty Chinese food, give this place a try. read more

I like this place. The menu has a large variety of dishes, from seafood to meat to veggies and noodles. They also have a separate lunch menu, and their portions are more than enough for 2 ppl. Service is pretty quick, even when it's full, and the chili oil on the table is my perfect level of spicy :) read more

I'm writing an update that is beyond the lunch only of the previous review. (I never returned for lunch again.) It's COVID season now, and I ordered a couple of dishes for take out. Both dishes are from their regular menu. They offered free dessert with take-out purchase, which was a nice bonus. It was a Chinese hot dessert of sago in coconut sauce/soup, a fairly common Chinese semi-traditional dessert. The food: Seafood with Jade Tofu - Served over a bed of broccoli, this could be a very healthy dish if not for the fried tofu, which in this case was a bit too fried. When jade tofu is too fried, it takes away the soft pillow-y quality of the jade tofu, and pretty much ruins it. The egg white sauce is very good though so the tofu kind of soaks that up. Next time, I'm going to request not frying the tofu or lightly fried only. Beef Stew with Daikon - This was a total win! The meat is tender, flavorful, and abundant, which the hubby loves. (The photo of the container doesn't do it justice.) I loved the super flavorful daikon which had soaked up all that beef stew flavor. Yum, yum!! I want a tub of that daikon by itself as well as the normal dish. I ordered in person and pick-up was easy. No issue. read more

You know V Garden was my favorite place for Chinese food in kent. I loved their chow mein. But the experience today wasn't the best. We ordered Lemon chicken, mongolian beef, bbq pork fried rice, and chow mein. But then the waitress, she doesn't bring out lemon chicken, she brings out almond chicken instead. So we told her We ordered lemon chicken not almond chicken, and she said no you didn't. The waitress even confirmed when we placed the order that we wanted lemon chicken. So then we dismissed it and she was like "Thank you" with this rude attitude. Good thing nobody was allergic to nuts in my group. read more

Okay, I going to be honest and say the food was okay and a bit on the oily side. My issue is the blatant racist service. If you are Chinese, they will bring you dessert for free at the end of your meal, if not, they just give you nonchalant service. The place is loud and smelly, but you expect that. Rude service is something that shouldn't be accepted. There only claim is that they open on the days and times the other restaurants in the mall are closed. Your only choice. I won't be back and want you to notice what I am talking about. read more

I could relocate here now I know this place exists. They have everything I like on their menu. Having sliced beef instead of minced beef in their Westlake beef soup is nice. House special crispy noodles just what I needed. Salt and pepper chicken wings had a touch of sweetness that is not my preference, but all things considered this was a win. Only 10 minutes or less from the cluster of hotels by the 405 and Westfield Southcenter mall. read more

Small Cantonese/HK-style cafe restaurant in the Great Wall Shopping Mall that has the 99 Ranch supermarket and other Asian restaurants. Was there on a Saturday. Was doing decent business considering the Covid restrictions. The menu is large as with this type of establishments. I got myself the seafood wide rice noodles. Portion was decent, and there are enough pieces of seafood. No complaints on the taste. I was hungry so I ate the whole thing. My friend ordered Mapo tofu rice. The portions are decent, but it didn't look or taste very authentic. That's probably what you get for ordering a Szhechuan dish at a HK style cafe that serve everything. The total was about $30 with tax and tip. Not expensive. read more

V Garden - Seafood wide rice noodles - Seafood Near Me - Kent, Washington

Me and dad had a HORRIBLE experience. Lisa and server was very rude. We came in for the special "lobster and crab for 38$" and only to ask questions about the menu and Lisa tells us that it's by pound and it's 38$ a pound but minimum 3/4lbs So it'll be 138$. So we changed our mind, only to order fried rice and beef noodles and the noodles tasted horribly. Like a cleaning solution chemicals mixed in the noodles from the first bite and Lisa was adamant about charging us for the noodles regardless if we didn't like it and the other server was rude and was talking ish" in Cantonese and after paying for the fried rice, that was 18, dad left a 20$ and she went off in Cantonese complaining we didn't tip and never come back as we were walking past her. I understood some of the things they were mentioning in Cantonese language but the experience was BEYOND HORRIBLE that me and dad EVER experienced getting yelled at, raising their voice at us. So right before we left, after hearing her talk badly about us prior to leaving, I had went back to the table and was still very respectful and nice, and mentioned same thing as what I mentioned to Lisa, "its not about the money, it's the principles and the costumer service we didn't appreciate" and as I went back to the table to mention to the other server that I understood what she was saying and I didn't appreciate the disrespect, to my surprise it was so beyond UNPROFESSIONAL and childish. Lol This server just went off on a tantrum and kept raising her voice saying, "BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE" I had never in my life experience this kind of disrespect and behavior, let alone me and dad having the worst costumer service experience about getting tricked over the menu price for the lobster and crab, only for her to tell us it's not updated yet the SIGN outside and inside says, the special is 38$ for the plate dish, only for her to tell us it's minimum 3/4 lbs and it'll cost us 138$ instead. That was WILD. so we changed our mind to ordering fried rice and beef noodles, only for matters... to get worst.. and towards us leaving, the server was BEYOND DISRESPECTFUL & UNPROFESSIONAL. Never going to eat at this place. My dad and I first Experience was THE WORST and not going back to this place. We were respectful and kind even after the experience and left the remaining change from the fried rice after a bit altercation with Lisa, who is "supposedly" the owner, who refused to give me her full name and her number and finally told us her name was Lisa when I asked for the owner yet that was the first time we knew her name as our server. The other server was even WORST then Lisa. Specially towards us leaving and she was speaking ish about us not coming back and not tipping (I understood what she was saying). We didn't even ask for the change back , we left 20$ for our 16 fried rice, remaining was the tip when we shouldn't even have tipped after a horrible experience as we are still good people with a heart but we are NEVER going back to this place, it was a horrible experience. read more

This is my second time here with family. First time was a mini family reunion dinner where we occupied two large tables of 10 each. Food came out quick, piping hot and delicious. Today, my mother and I decided to come around lunch time at 11:30 am. The server seated us immediately with no fussing. We noticed the restaurant was fairly crowded already so that's a good sign. The menu was huge with many typical Chinese dishes. We decided on half order of Peking Duck, Honey Walnut Prawns, and their salt and pepper Fried Fish Fillets. Food took about 15 minutes and came out looking absolutely delicious. The Peking Duck first of all - juicy meat, crispy skin and very well seasoned. The buns were soft, fluffy and fresh. The Honey Walnut Prawns - Mmmmmm! Crunchy and not at all overcooked. The generous coating of that secret mayo sauce was spot on! But I have to say, their salt and pepper Fried Fish Fillets is my absolute favorite! I can munch on a whole plate of that by myself - no rice needed! The batter is crispy, not at all oily, the seasoning just right - and that tender fish inside tasted fresh and flakey. You know how sometimes you order deep fried battered fish and you get that weird sogginess of the fish or the actual batter itself? Well that's not the case at all here. This dish was cooked perfectly from every angle! So far, this place has been consistent in their service and food quality. I'm happy I don't have to drive to Chinatown for good Chinese dishes from now on. read more

A solid spot for Cantonese food in Kent. The menu should have most of what your table is craving to get that Cantonese meal going. I know there is a pandemic going on so prices are expected to rise but we ordered a seasonal baked oyster dish and it was 6 oysters for $35-40 roughly. Keep in mind this is more of a casual restaurant for a quick meal after grocery shopping at 99ranch. Oysters were good though! Ambience was loud. Very casual and jigsaw seating. Service was ok, we had to ask for the rest of our order a few times. Utensils were clean but cups were a hit or miss with residue. read more

Placed a pick up order over the phone in English and the lady was very rude. Asked how long it will be and she just hung up. Staff ignored me for a while as I was standing right in front of check out to pay and pick up. They were very nice, chatty, all smiles with Cantonese speaking people but wouldn't give me the time of day. Food is decent but not worth the trash customer service. Don't come here if you don't speak their language. You will get bottom of the barrel service if you aren't Chinese. read more

Wish I could give zero star but that ain't an option. If you ain't speaking Chinese or Cantonese for that matter, rest assured they will undercook and treat your dishes very frivolously, basically treating you as a fool and disrespect you with poorly cooked food, while all the other folks who dine there and speak their dialect, will get welcomed warmly and served authentic food good enough to keep them coming back and be happy. read more
