Rooted in a century-old heritage of authentic Lanzhou beef noodles, our craft honors the legendary five signatures: clear broth, white radish, red chili oil, green cilantro and garlic leeks, and golden hand-pulled noodles. We remain dedicated to traditional techniques--hand-pulling each portion of noodles fresh to order and slow-simmering our rich broth to perfection. In early Chinese history, wheat was not used to make noodles. When it was first introduced, the lack of widespread processing tools like stone mills meant people simply steamed or boiled whole wheat grains. Known as "wheat rice" (mai fan), it was considered a coarse, unpalatable meal for the lower class. It was during the Han Dynasty, with the widespread adoption of rotary stone mills, that humanity truly entered the "flour era." Early noodles were called "soup cakes" (tang bing) or "boiled cakes" (zhu bing), though they remained a luxury mostly reserved for the royal court and the wealthy. It wasn't until the Song Dynasty (10th-13th century) that noodles finally crossed social divides. With a booming urban economy and mature flour-milling techniques, noodle shops emerged everywhere, transforming noodles into an everyday staple for ordinary households. Ambiance: Although the restaurant has been open for many years, the interior remains stylish, bright, and spotless. The management keeps everything impeccably clean. With tables for pairs, groups of four, and larger seating for 6-8 people, it caters effortlessly to any dining setup. Taste: Offering what is arguably the most authentic Lanzhou beef noodle flavor, you can customize your noodle thickness to your liking. The broth is rich and deeply flavorful, clearly the result of hours of careful simmering. Highly recommended! Service: The service here is truly outstanding!

This was a noodle place and most of it was basically soup noodles with handmade noodles. We ordered…read morethe beef noodles, one with preserved cabbage, and a couple of side dishes. The side dishes were delicious. I really love the boiled peanuts. They were very flavorful however, they were super wet. The broth was good for the beef soup. The location is at the corner of a strip mall in Bellevue. Plenty of parking outside and lots of tables inside as well. The only reason I gave it three stars is because I don't really like that kind of noodle soup. The noodles were really thick and dense. You go in and you can order off the QR code at the table.

Came here a second time for some awesome food on a Friday around 5:30pm! While the meat jajangmyeon…read morehad a great taste profile from my last visit, I got their beef jjamppong this time around and wow I wish I got this one earlier! The beef broth is on the verge of being too salty but it's balanced by the sheer amount of black pepper that you can taste and not really see inside the clear broth. There's also a ton of beef and veggies inside, and got noodles for this dish. Noodles themselves were al dente and fresh. Friend and I also shared a side of fried dumplings, which came out very hot and didn't really need the sauce provided on our table, as everything already had enough taste. Staff brought out the food relatively fast - within about 10 minutes for all our dishes - and this is on top of the restaurant becoming a full house throughout the hour we stayed. People even started lining up near the waiting area after a while, that's how packed this place gets!

Believe it or not my first time at Paik's and it's not the Lynnwood location, but the Bellevue one!…read more This location is super convenient because it's walking distance from the light rail station and right by the Bellevue Uwajimaya. What did I get here? Of course it's the jjajangmyun! Very authentic, saucy, with noodles cooked how I like them - i.e., NOT overcooked. The sauce sticks to the noodles fairly well. The space feels like what I would describe as 'cafeteria-style' if you get that vibe: you order and pay at the counter first, take one of the number stands, sit down wherever, and wait for your order. There's a container of room temperature drinking water at each table. The noodles come with pickled radish, but I did wish it came with more banchan - for instance, kimchi, fish cakes, and potato salad, just to name a few. Not bad for the crowd on a Wednesday night. Knocking off 1 star because I wish my noods came with more banchan and I haven't tried other dishes yet so withholding that star for until next time!

I have to say that compared to the location in the U District, the Bellevue one feels a little bit like an afterthought. The setup is similar, in that you order and pay at a kiosk up front and seat yourself. Otherwise, it is more self-service. You get your own water and they do not come around to provide refills. The menu is mostly the same, with just some slight differences. They do not seem to have the rice noodle option here. I had the cumin lamb noodle soup, my dinner buddy had the hot oil noodles (no soup), and we had the wood ear mushroom salad and the broccoli salad to share. The salads were solid, nothing spectacular but nothing alarming. The noodles are of varying thickness, so there are some really nice chewy parts and some thin parts that go a bit mushy in the soup. The flavor is mostly consistent although I did feel like the cumin flavor was less apparent here. This location does not have the self serve condiments bar, and notably was quite cold, which frankly made the whole experience not that pleasant. I do like xi'an noodles but I will be sticking to the U District location from now on.

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.

We each ordered a bowl of noodles along with some popcorn chicken. After about 10 minutes my daughter's and my noodles were brought out, no sign of my wife's noodles or the chicken. About 10 minutes later we flagged down the waiter who told us they were being worked on. Another 10 minutes went by and we were told the same thing. A bit more than 5 minutes later my wife just said forget it, so I told the waiter to cancel the rest of the order. Totally ridiculous! It wasn't even that busy so I have no idea why after nearly 40 minutes we still didn't have half our order. As far as my, and my daughter's, noodles were concerned, they were good but nothing special. Nothing I would come back for, especially given the far better options in the neighborhood.

I'm docking off a star here due to the crazy wait times during peak hours. We've been back a few times and during off hours the wait is totally fine. Your food comes out pretty quick.

The flavor profile is unbeatable: packed with rich chili oil, fragrant spices, and that signature mouth-numbing Sichuan pepper kick that leaves you craving more.

It is so good that I regularly drive 30 minutes each way just to pick up takeout, and it is 100% worth every single mile.

Absolutely incredible. Easily one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the Seattle area. I was…read moreinitially a bit dubious of this place because their photos of their dishes looked a little _too_ picture perfect / social media ready, but Shaoshan Impression turned out to be one of the most authentic and delicious restaurants I've been to in the area so far. Our favorite had to be the duo jiao yu pian (two super tender, juicy white fish filets coated in two different sauces. One was pure spiced and the other had suan cai, a slightly funky and sour pickled veggie). We also loved the stir-fried eggplant and green beans, which was perfectly tender and intensely savory. It was great to have some veggies to break up the otherwise intensely protein-forward meal, and the veggies were all so well-prepared. Despite the menu saying the dish was spicy, I didn't find it spicy at all, so it was also a good break from the rest of the peppery dishes. We also had their stir-fried shrimp, which had an incredibly extravagant presentation, with mountains of red chili peppers and a burner to keep the dish warm throughout the meal, but I thought that the shrimp were a smidge overcooked and more salty than spicy. Nonetheless, the meal was delightful, and, even more importantly, it received the Asian parent stamp of approval! The service was also quite efficient and friendly. There was a kiosk near the front door to join the waitlist, but we ended up only having to wait ~5 minutes before being seated. We ordered off a QR code at the table, but the food all came out quickly and our server was incredibly attentive -- he preempted our every need and refilled water, brought new napkins, and cleared completed dishes almost the second we were ready.
