It only took one bite of each to decide I didn't like it, and a few more before I tossed the whole thing in the trash. The sweet and sour pork had the texture of no pork whatsoever, just a fried ball of desiccated starch slathered in sauce. The green beans were actually SLIMY. And the fried rice had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. Honestly I'd never been offended by Chinese takeout until today. Had I kept eating due to my Asian perseverance, I'm pretty sure I would have gotten diarrhea. Hard no to future orders from this place.

There is a special technique that I noticed and a finesse in the dumpling making that was fascinating. I've tried almost everything on the menu and my favorite dishes are the spicy vegetarian dumplings with tofu and chives, the steamed chicken dumplings, the pancake, and the cold chicken noodle with peanuts sauce. The beef soup is outstanding as well. If you've traveled to China, this restaurant reminds me of a no frills location. That's what makes it stand out. The service is warm and cozy and I feel like I'm always wrapped in a blanket of dumplings. Prices are great and the food comes out quick. It's cash only and they added Venmo.

Teriyaki is to Seattle what Pizza (or halal carts) are to NYC, Burritos and KBBQ are to Los Angeles, Italian Beef Sandwiches are to Chicago and so on and so on, If you are not from or spent any time in Seattle and have had something called teriyaki, you had only a pale imitation as one must come here to experience the real authentic and transcendently delicious thing. If I had a gun to my head, and was forced to pick a favorite of the two teriyaki shops I tried, I would have to give a very slight edge to this spot, over the nearby and also very excellent, (and previously reviewed) Okinawa Teriyaki. In all fairness to Okinawa it most be noted that I ordered differently here than there. This time around, other than the standard regular chicken teriyaki/beef teriyaki combo I opted for the spicy chicken option, alongside the beef teriyaki and side of gyoza that I got the previous time. So not surprisingly the spicy chicken had bolder flavors and more of a kick than Okinawa's regular chicken, though still well within the realms of tolerability to all but the most spice-averse. I would say however that the beef was also significantly more flavor packed and perhaps of a slightly higher quality than Okinawa's, and here was served more finely sliced, in a manner that produced slightly more tender melt in our mouth beef than the stringier beef at Okinawa. The chicken was also perfectly juicy on the inside and crispy smokey, caramelized and charred on the outside. This was across the board a much saucier affair however, as both proteins had clearly been treated with a very healthy second saucing post grilling. The Gyozas were a bit larger than Okinawa's here, but just as deftly fried with an addictive crunchiness and no sogginess. One small caveat here I would note was that they give an excessively large side order of rice here, so much so that I still had rices leftover even AFTER using it so soak up the significant excess amount of sauce from the meats. This would easily have been remedied if I had taken the lovely ladies offer of an extra cuplet of sauce, which I would have never thought necessary when first glancing at that super saucy combo. While my maiden teriyaki experience with Okinawa was, like surely many others a product of following the advice of the now legendary listings of Seattle Teriyaki parlors by the great local food expert J. Kenji López-Alt. my experience here was the happy byproduct of relative chance, aided by a quick yelp cross reference. I was lucky enough to stumble upon this place and grab a crucially quick to-go combo on my way to the central train station to take the Amtrak down to Portland Oregon, the day after the election. The yelp reviews looked legit enough for me to take the chance on the clean, super bright spot with decidedly much warmer service than Okinawa, and devour the heaping platter of saucy, flavorful teriyaki and popping fresh gyoza while enjoying another lovely scenic trek down the rails of the Pacific Northwest and for a few moments anyway convince myself all was well in my beautiful country, and try to block out the encroaching darkness on the horizon, if only for a few minutes.

The sauces are also perfectly seasoned and add a fresh element to the dish. We also got the tom yum soup as a side with their combo, and it was very flavorful. Usually the soup is like an afterthought, but not in this case. I can tell that they put a lot of care in every element. Notable mentions are their Thai teas, which were both strong in tea flavor. Also, if you order on their new site right now, you can get $5 off (linked on insta).

This was a nice and filling meal enough for two people for two meals.

Strawberry Snowie Frappe - it's a solid dessert. Very sweet and likely double blended because it's not super icy, rather the liquid collects at the bottom.

For patrons willing to go deeper than a pedestrian "Bahn Mi" or "Pho", try the Papaya Salad. It's refreshing and I recently learned uses young papaya so it doesn't taste as bitter. I enjoyed the horseradish they added to the aioli, but that may be too exotic for Goblins used to Pizza Bars and Casual Italian. For those that do enjoy the classics, they don't miss here.

I don't get that, "I need to chug 3 gallons of water stat" feeling after having this pho which is how a lot of the SEA food out here makes me feel. The carefully braised meats (and chewy tendon) are really nicely made as well. Not gamey at all! This is definitely my go-to for pho takeout in all of Seattle. Trust me on this... not only does this kinda broth run through the veins of my ancestors but I'm from SoCal so I know real, good, authentic SEA food. The pork eggrolls are also super YOMMM. The wings are just ok... but I'd skip the fried tofu at all cost! They were seeping with oil and the fried batter was weirdly super gummy/chewy while also lacking any hint of flavor or seasoning. Yuck! I had to throw those out and I am NOT a food thrower-outer!! But yeah- get at that pho tho! And those eggrolls! Thank me later.
