I absolutely love this place!! I've been coming here since high school. It's been many many years and I still come back whenever I'm craving an authentic Chinese cuisine.. The staff is very friendly, granted they know me by now, but that's not the reason why they're friendly. They are genuinely very nice people. The portions are large. One plate fits two. typically we go there with a group of five or six and we share plates around the lazy sue table, which is really convenient. read more

Haven't been here since 2 years ago. It was our go to place for good taiwanese chinese food. Restrooms: male and female restrooms Parking: plenty of free shared retail parking Menu: Chinese and English menu. Seating: plenty of big round tables for big parties Reservation: via phone We ordered: Pepper salt pork chops Honey walnut prawn Sweet sour intestines pork blood tofu dish Black pepper beef Sichuan shrimp tofu Stir fry Green bean w ground pork Crispy noddle w veggie gravy Steam seabass [forgot the sauce] Fried pancake redbean filling [not in picture] my fav. Overall food quality has gone down. Everything is super salty. Still like my seabass tho. Service is good, they are always there ready. However,the food took longer than normal which is wierd, there's only 4 other tables besides ours. read more

We had lunch today at Yea's Wok in Newcastle, and while the service started off great, the food was pretty underwhelming this time around. We were seated and greeted very quickly, and got our water and menus almost immediately, which we appreciated. However, it took quite a while to get our soup, which is unusual here since it's normally brought out almost right after you choose between egg flower or hot and sour. I ordered the Mongolian beef, and my wife had the mushu chicken. Unfortunately, both dishes missed the mark. The chicken was room temperature or cooler and very bland, and there wasn't nearly enough plum sauce for the amount of food on the plate. The Mongolian beef was very tender, but also flavorless and really needed more seasoning or sauce to bring it to life. It was a slow lunch hour, quiet in the restaurant which is usual, so maybe it was just an off day in the kitchen -- Thursdays might be the "B team," because the food definitely wasn't up to their usual standards. We actually love coming here and usually look forward to a solid, reliable meal, which made this visit extra disappointing. Hoping this was just a one-off, because we've had much better experiences in the past. read more

My family has visited Yea's Wok several times over the years and most recently, we picked up takeout to bring over to my grandmother for lunch. The service has always been friendly, and their King County health rating of "Excellent" stands out against other Chinese restaurants in general. We ordered four dishes, all of which we thought were alright. We wouldn't say any of them were extremely flavorful, but we would rather have that as opposed to them being overly salty. + MOO SHU PORK: I normally don't gravitate towards this dish, but I actually enjoyed it the most. Thin pieces of pork were mixed with a medley of vegetables including cabbage, carrots and mushrooms. The pork was tender and lean, while the cabbage retained a bit of crunch. The pancakes provided were thin, but held up well to the filing as we all made our little wraps. + COMBINATION CHOW MEIN: This was a typical chow mein with soft noodles, vegetables, chicken and seafood. It was okay, but nothing too memorable. The highlight for me was the snappy little shrimps. + GREEN BEANS w/ MINCED PORK: While the sauce coating these beans had a nice savory garlic flavor, the beans themselves were overcooked. Rather than having a crunch, most of them were wilted and soft. For some reason, they had an undertone of what tasted like a pickled flavor which was really strange, but luckily, it wasn't too strong. + PEPPER BEEF: Since we were bringing food to my grandma, we asked to tone down the spice on this dish, but by doing that, it may have lost some of its spark. The beef was tender and I enjoyed the various vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, carrots) included, but the sauce also fell flat. One of their signature dishes is the Volcano Fried Rice, which I've had before. It's their fried rice with a reddish sauce that includes a mix of vegetables and meat, served upside down with the sauce cascading over the top, representing a volcano. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of fried rice in general, but I give it to them in terms of creativity! While I wouldn't necessarily order the above items again, I'd go back to try other dishes from their menu, given our positive experiences in the past. 3.25 stars. read more

Good and solid option for the Newcastle area and especially on the Eastside. The slat and pepper calamari here is one of my favorites in the area. The food is always hot and fresh. Every dish we have had here is always packed with authentic flavors. This place can get busy and the dining area in the main area is compact. The "waiting area" is essentially non existent. So if you have to wait for a table, you'll probably end up waiting in your vehicle. Calling in orders for to go is highly encouraged. Otherwise you end up waiting sitting in a chair feeling uncomfortable bc there is very limited space entering and leaving the restaurant. Not the most ideal set up so you'll end up waiting in your vehicle. The servings are family style and big portions. You won't be disappointed. read more

Extremely dissapointed because I've been searching for a Chinese restaurant and found out this one was fairly close to me...but I will NOT go back. $60 for 3 dishes (Hot and Sour Soup, General TSao's Chicken, Orange Beef). Hot and Sour soup was probably the best thing if I had to choose, but they put every mushroom that was grown in Newcastle in the soup. The chicken and beef I'd have to chew and then spit out because it wasn't consumable. Honestly can't remember the last time I wasted $60 like this... don't go read more

Yea's Wok - General Tsao's Chicken, Orange Beef, Hot & Sour Soup Bowl - Chinese Near Me - Newcastle, Washington

Been Coming here since I was a kid and it has been consistently decent Taiwanese food. The food were great. My favorite was the eggplant dish. Kids loved the noodles with meat sauce. Their walnut shrimp was perfectly fried with yummy walnuts. Basil with beef was also flavorful. The stirfry noodle was on the soggy side. Chicken in the clay pot was very fragrant! Forgot to order the hot and sour soup today but it is always good :) Service was excellent. We celebrated a birthday with a cake. They place the cake for us in the fridge during the meal and supplied us with little plates and knife for us to do the birthday celebration there! (Even turned down the lights for 5 second ) :). Really appreciate the small thoughtful gesture. Tea was $1pp. read more

6 stars, maybe more. This place is utterly fantastic, and comes highly recommended from people who don't live anywhere near the restaurant. We ordered takeout, and every single dish was incredible. The fried rice was easily my favorite. I will choose this location for all my Chinese food for the foreseeable future. read more

Friendly staff and good Chinese in the Renton / Newcastle neighborhood. Nice to not have to drive into the city of Seattle for authentic / good Chinese food. Menu had a good variety. Some of my favorites were the Happy Family dish with seafood, protein, and veggies. Also liked the green beans, walnut prawns, and house noodles. We also had the pepper steak, prawns, Mongolian beef, black bean clams. Everything was good. Would recommend and will be coming back for sure. read more

Good place to get large portion sizes of Chinese lunch specials! Quick and friendly service. Well, it's not the best lunch special that I've had, they do give big portion sizes, it is a bit on the sweeter side, the chicken with cashew tasted like teriyaki. Overall great spot. read more

Generous portions, great for big groups or family. Some of the best Chinese food in the bellevue area. Everyone is also very nice there

We dined here earlier this week for a birthday party. In total, we had 18 guests. Their servers did a good job of getting everything out of the kitchen as quickly as possible to our table and removing empty plates. Not an easy task with a group of this size. I can't even begin to name all of the dishes, but the ones that stood out to me where the house special fried rice and the tea smoked duck. Incredible! Everyone commented on how good the entrées were and how efficient the staff was. If you're looking for an authentic Chinese dining experience I highly recommend this place in Newcastle. Adequate parking and very clean throughout. read more

We went for lunch, great menu quite extensive. Started with hot and sour, full of great stuff and the broth was so rich and the right spice. Kung Pao and moo shoo pork, portions were large, savory spicy kung pao, good chicken and the pork was very tasty. We'll be back to try more!! Service overall was good, food came reasonably fast and water refilled! Place was clean and enjoyed the fish tanks. read more

This place is pretty good. Portions are big for the amount of money you are playing for the food. Came here after a round of golf at Newcastle and we were hungry. We ordered beef with broccoli, general tsao chicken, chicken and black bean sauce, and walnut shrimp. Everything was tasty and great. I thought we didn't order enough food between the four of us, but we had a little left over. I took a star off because some of the dishes were salty, but I didn't mind. The inside looks small when you walk in, but they have two additional rooms in the back. The staff was friendly and were always walking around looking to refill waters or rice bowls. You know a Chinese restaurant is legit when it is filled with Chinese people eating the food. Overall, would come again if i am in the area. It's hard to find many good Chinese restaurants in the greater Seattle area. read more

I found the dishes to be affordable and fairly big here. The taste of each dish wasn't bad either and my favorite was the eggplant for sure. I think the service was pretty good and I got my water filled pretty often. The space can get quite busy, so don't be surprised if you have to wait a bit. Overall, I think this place isn't pretty good and would recommend it. read more

A location we have visited multiple times. A very busy location. Very good food, quickly delivered, tasty. We ordered volcano rice, fried green beans, candied fried pork chop and a Chinese menu dried tofu with chicken and pickled cabbage. We came especially for the Volcano rice. My wife had to fight my daughter for who ate more. Luckily the servings are large. Flavorful and fresh. The green beans were garlicy, well cooked, and fabulous. The beef was excellent. The dried tofu dish was good and one of my favorites. Great service. read more

Ordered Mongolian Beef & Kung Pao Chicken. The Mongolian Beef was ridiculously sweet - I'm not sure they tasted it before serving, and maybe they accidentally poured a whole bunch of sugar on there without noticing? It was not a normal amount of sweetness, and my friend who likes things sweet couldn't even eat it because it was so strong. Kung Pao hit the spot though - while it couldve used more chicken and less nuts it was still good. read more

I've heard about this spot from a good friend. They recommended it highly for apparently super authentic food. For sure a place like this will make me a Chinese food lover. I had to order the orange chicken. My go to favorite Chinese food item. This was definitely made fresh. A wonderful tangy orange sauce. The red peppers on the side did not indicate any heat in this dish. And I steered clear of items in the menu which had the little pepper next to it. The hot and sour soup was very much a combination of that sweet and sour, not hot, tasty! I love the size of one cup. Service prompt and friendly. Great vibes even as the price filled up for a lunch rush. Grabbed a to go menu. Because I will be ordering food to go. Do it! Eat good and SYOY read more

Been here every now and then for the last 15 years- nice to see this place is still in business and food is still consistent. The shrimp is fried well and not too heavy handed, mooshoo chicken is good, lunch specials are good but there could be more rice (fried rice is pretty flavorful). Service is fine, ambience is loud..but definitely a local favorite. read more

Used to live nearby and miss it terribly now that I'm gone. They do the BEST crispy shrimp with black bean sauce EVER. Whenever I am in the area I stop by and get takeout. Whenever I meet anyone for lunch or dinner on the east side of Lk Wash I go there. Very nice people, quick, great food. What more could you ask!!! read more

Obviously a lot has changed over the years. I'm guessing the cooks the owners and probably everybody else in the restaurant. Where did fried rice which should have some kind of color to show that it has some kind of seasoning but it's just white rice with frozen peas and carrots in it. Also had Singapore rice noodles. All the noodles were like 1 inch long must be the end of the package or something. I'm not sure. Thank God, I had my own hot sauce at home to fix these up read more

Good Chinese food! Authentic as well, definitely will be coming back. I love this place

We ordered takeout from here and wanted to try it out. It was very busy during Saturday diner time, and we waited for 40min for takeout. The servers were very nice. The food, on the other hand, was very salty. Since it was our first time ordering there, we got some popular dishes, such as volcano fried rice, sautéed green beans and Mongolian beef. All three entrees were very salty. I have to say, with less salt or soy sauce, the food could have tasted much better. On a positive note, the portion was fairly large. read more

Yea's Wok is a go-to for both dine-in and takeout, and it's become an easy default for us when we don't feel like cooking.​ Yea's Wok is everything a neighborhood Chinese spot should be: busy in the best way, fast-moving staff, and big plates that are made for sharing. The dining room has that classic Chinese-restaurant feel--fish tanks, big round tables, and lazy Susans--so it's easy to settle in with a group and just keep adding dishes to the order.​ One thing we really appreciate is that they do takeout and do it well, and we use it often when we want a good Chinese meal at home. Orders are packed with all the sauces and condiments, and while the place is almost always busy, the staff keeps takeout moving efficiently.​ Located in the Coal Creek Village area on Coal Creek Parkway, it's convenient, consistently good, and an easy recommendation if you're craving Chinese and want something satisfying without being fussy. read more

What a wonderful, welcoming place. Everyone on staff is so lovely. And as for the food-fabulous, but only if you love fresh ingredients, hot cooked to order creations. I'm in love with the chicken in fresh ginger sauce. It's a specialty of the chef and it's fantastic. Lots of fresh seasonal veggies, thin sliced chicken, and plenty of heat. Absolutely delicious over their perfect steamed rice. The place smells heavenly, the service is fast and friendly and prices are fair. When two can eat out and take home leftovers for $25, you know you have a gem! This place is. I've been three times and it is delicious each time. read more

I've been going here since I was a kid and it's been my favorite place for Chinese food! Service here is always wonderful! Servers are kind and really make you feel welcomed and are quick to assist. Even better, the food comes out so fast, perfect for when your whole family is hungry. The interior is clean and the table set up ideal for sharing. On the food: my family does not eat pork or shellfish for religious reasons (along with some vegetarians in the extended) and Yea's Wok has aways been very accommodating with substitutes that are within reason. For example, the green beans can easily have the pork removed and the Mongolian Beef can be made as a tofu version that's just as delicious! Takeout here is good, but trust me, you have got to experience the food here fresh! It'll really blow your mind! Change your life and go to Yea's Wok! read more

Since moving away, it has been a number of years since the last time we ate at Yea's Wok in Newcastle (south Bellevue). When coming back to the area for a visit, we were SO excited to go there again! Unfortunately, it wasn't nearly as good as we remembered. We ordered several of our usual favorites. * The green beans were WAY overcooked! They were wrinkly, and fell limp when picked up. * There was so much sauce with the Mongolian beef that we could hardly tell there was any meat. * The General Tsao's chicken pieces were super large (more like the size of tenders, but many some people like them that big...‍) and were also overcooked, to the point that the meat inside the breading was super hard. * The Hot & Sour soup was goopy - thinking they used too much of either cornstarch or arrowroot. * The best part was the Fried Rice, which was lack-luster, at best. We paid over $125.00 for this meal and walked away not wanting to ever go back, which makes us so sad because this truly used to be the best in the King County area. read more
