    The name lives up to the hype! Such yummy Chinese dishes...love their Westlake soup, chow mein, sweet & sour pork, chow fun noodles, and one of the most flavorful chicken wings!!! They have so many good dishes to choose from. This is definitely one our go-to's for take-out!

    Our favorite Chinese restaurant, and my family is Chinese and picky eaters. The food is all really yummy, the prices are affordable, the staff is friendly, street parking is easy and you don't need a reservation. Highly recommend! You should check it out and give this minority owned small business your patronage.

    Good food and quick service! Called ahead for takeout and it was ready in 15 minutes. We got the chicken chow mein and orange chicken. Took it to-go and ate it at Ravenna brewing. Such great food, tasty flavors and good texture!! Will def be back!

    Large Hot and sour soup  with share bowls

    I was very much in the mood for simple, no frills Chinese food. I was also cold so I definitely was in need of some hot soup. Luckily they serve up some free hot tea upon sitting down. This is a welcome start. To warm up a large shared bowl of 'Hot And Sour Soup' soup was in order. Definitely hot with some tangy-ness to which hit the spot. For an entree I was lured away from the basic fare by their specials menu. One thing that jumped out was the was the Sweet and Sour Pork chop. It reminded me of a similar entree I've had at a Thai restaurant I used to frequent but not quite as good. The flavor was there for the most part but nothing in the way of crispiness. Also I found it kinda lame that they charged an additional $1.50 for a small rice to go with it. The aforementioned Thai spot that has that same meal comes lots of rice and is slightly cheaper actually. The rice is important because the Pork chop is pretty saucy so the rice helps with getting more of the sauce. The service was good, but our server was a "Tablewatcher". The kind of server that typically when it's slow they're just watching the tables for signs they're ready to leave or need something. I appreciate being mindful of the tables you're managing, but staring makes it weird. Overall probably about what you'd expect -- a sizeable eat in Chinese food spot with some free tea, but tacked on prices elsewhere. Wasn't looking for exceptional which is fitting, Yummy did hit the spot, it was exceptionally average.

    My review is based on one visit, but it was a great visit! We dined in, and the service was great. We were seated and served a pot of tea right away. We shared an order of egg rolls and Szechuan beef with steamed rice. The egg rolls were rolled tight and were crispy with fresh veggie filling and not a bit of greasiness. The Szechuan beef was flavorful and actually had some spice to it which I find lacking at many places. It also had a few veggies in addition to onion with the beef such as celery, carrot, bamboo shoot, and a few snow peas. I have found many places don't seem to want to use vegetables anymore other than onion. To wrap it up, the fortune cookies arrived, and the check was processed in a timely manner with us already talking about coming back to try some other menu items.

    Slimy, uncooked, un-fried fried rice.

    So I'm a travel nurse from the northeast (DMV) and Chinese takeout is one of my favorites! This place was a hard no for me. Great service and nice people! But the food was not good at all. The pork fried rice I ordered was not fried and the pork inside looked uncooked and slimy. I'm used to chopped pieces of pork spareribs mixed in my fried rice. But this place did something different. I'll show you in a picture attached. The Szechuan style string beans had an odd, sour taste. Similar to it being old or sitting for awhile. They look good! But, the taste was sour and old. I had to throw that away. Overall, I'm disappointed. I had high hopes for this place. I won't be back, unfortunately.

    45.00 worth of bland food

    This place is not yummy. I had a bad craving for Chinese food and been thinking about trying this place for a while. It is directly across the street from Met Market so when I got done shopping, I walked over. The staff there were very nice so the 1 star is for the food. For takeout, I got chicken chow mein, house fried rice, and Mongolian beef. The portions are large so I knew I could eat off of it for a few days. Unfortunately, when I got home, I was so disappointed and then grew mad as I kept eating. Everything was horrible, just awful. All three items lacked flavor. The rice tasted like nothing and the noodles were very greasy and so so bland. I doused everything I soy sauce and still, it was awful. The Mongolian beef was the worst. Discolored prices of fatty beef, swimming around in a pool of brown watery sauce that looked like diarrhea water. Again, all flavorless but sweet and spicy at the same time. 45.00 in the trash. I did keep the rice, and turned it into kimchi fried rice the next day.

    The taste of the food here is on average pretty good, but the overall experienced is sabotaged by…read morehigh prices and some poor presentation. The worst offender is the NW black cod. The black cod was not the center of the dish literally or figuratively: it should have been labeled a black cod salad because for 35 dollars it was a giant pile of salad with a tiny sliver of cod served on the side. It is offensive to call this a main course with how the dish is plated and portioned. The rest of the menu suffers from similar compromises: the lobster rolls are pretty good but very small for 33 dollars. Some of the other menu items were a lot better in presentation and value. The mushroom risotto and the cheeseburger were some of the better items on the menu. The oysters were also very good. There's some bright spots here but the overall experience is very compromised by some landmines on the menu. I would come here specifically to sample a few oysters and for the cheeseburger but not for any other items if you are expecting an actual meal. You can easily drop 80+ dollars and leave feeling like something was missing.

    Went here for happy hour with a friend this week. Definitely won't be coming back anytime soon. I…read morehate to say that but it's the truth. We came mostly for happy hour but there wasn't much that intrigued us on the menu. We did split half a dozen oysters that were served with the most boring and basic mignonette and no lemon. The texture on the oysters was off enough to the point we hoped we wouldn't get sick later. The side salad on the happy hour menu we did enjoy, along with the burger. I'd come back for the burger and salad and that's it. The server left much to be desired and really impacted our experience. I know it's hard for restaurants to survive in Seattle with how expensive everything is. It's also expensive for people to go out to eat in this city. Definitely would prefer to spend my time and money elsewhere.

Get: Miso Roasted Mushrooms, Herb Crush Salmon, Katsu Chicken Peanut Salad Skip: Nothing we ordered The Herb Crush Salmon came with truffle beurre blanc, creamy mashed potatoes, preserved tomatoes and vegetables. It was a very good, well-rounded entrée. The Katsu Chicken Peanut Salad was another winner, with crispy chicken, julienned vegetables, peanuts and miso ginger dressing. It felt substantial enough to be a full meal rather than a salad you regret ordering when everyone else's food arrives. We shared the Miso Roasted Mushrooms, made with shallots and white wine, and those were excellent too. The Individually Baked Apple Tart was worth it, but took a while to arrive. We were asking for the check instead when it arrived. The wait was long, but the complimentary champagne and mocktails were a thoughtful touch, and the service throughout was great. Overall, another excellent meal at one of my go-to restaurants in Seattle.

    Went to Joey at the U Village location since I love the food and was in the area. Walked in and…read morethey were able to move my reservation up from 5:30 to 3:30 P.M. Great first impression since this was my sister's first time at Joey, or so I thought. We get seated at the outside patio and we order water to start. The water glasses came in a very small glass and since it was hot out, we drank our cups fast. I asked our waitress if we could have a pitcher / jug / container of some sort explicitly saying we want to refill our glasses. I suppose there was a miscommunication because a different waitress brought a bottle and then 3 more glasses out. We were then charged $10 for the bottle. I really just wanted a pitcher of tap, ice cold water we could drink since our waitress was not attentive to us whatsoever. My frustrations lie with the service we were given. 3 people eating at Joey is NOT cheap. It took 20 minutes for us to order our drinks and appetizer. Our appetizer came out before our drinks. We waited another 15 minutes for our drinks after that. A different waitress brought them out so at this point we have three waitresses, have been there nearly 50 minutes in the heat, barely any water with NO ice, and still have not ordered our food. I am disappointed since it had died down and there were only 3 other tables occupied outside at this point. Our waitress finally asks for our orders and we wait another 20 minutes for our food to come out. My partner ordered a larger size steak - $7 more. When the plates were brought out my sides were paired with his steak on my plate and vice versa. We asked the waitress can you verify that the 7 oz. steak was present in front of one of us since we were paying more. She left and checked with the chef, but we had to wait even more time before we ate in case they needed to take our plates back. We eat our meal and finish with our plates cleaned, glasses empty, and all stacked with napkins on top indicating we were finished eating. Our waitress walked past multiple times without ever checking in on us. She walked by and I eventually waved my hand and asked for the check. I see the $10 bottle was charged and asked for it to be removed. Thankfully, they did. Food was good as I have eaten Joey at the Bellevue location, but for the $160 tab I am VERY dissatisfied with our service. For the time and money we spent I would have appreciated more check ins, our food plated correctly, and WAY faster service. All in all, we sat there for over an hour and half when it could've been an hour max. Also, we were served room temperature water on a hot day when other tables had ice. Hoping the managers work on service. Don't waste your hard earned time and money by visiting this location, just go to Bellevue. Never had this bad of service there ONCE.

Two problems though. I am apparently in the minority that I think bacon is raw if not crispy so ended up putting it aside. Second issue was the "L" portion was a large piece of iceberg core. Not really lettuce, guys..... So I basically had a salmon sandwich with a slice of tomato and some flavorful tartar sauce. The fish and chips were also cooked perfectly and were inhaled. If I come back I would just grab food from the take out side and sit on the dock.
