Best Taiwanese food in the area. Everything tasted authentic, and the service was excellent. Will definitely be back! read more

Excited to find a new Taiwanese spot! We came on a Saturday afternoon, it was not too crowded and we were seated quickly. The ordering system uses ChowBus on tablets so easy to see pictures of items on the menu, we got a mix of veggies, meat, soup and rice. Taiwanese food wise this was pretty good, not the best but hits the mark for most dishes. My favorite part was the ability to adjust to less oil and less salt on all the stir fry dishes, this was the best and my sensitive tastebuds appreciated the less salty version! My favorite was the stir fried "Kong xin cai" it was cooked very well with the crunch and roasted flavor that I'd expect in Asia too. The name also had chicken soup in the Chinese characters, it was authentic and well cooked. I'll be back if I'm in the area to try other dishes and give a better assessment too :) read more

Would give it no star that's an option. Wednesday 6:03pm ordered online and waiting inside the Restuarant with 2 other customers and phone ringing off the hook and no employees at all inside the restaurant. Knocked on kitchen door and waited another 15mins. No one. Order went thru charging my credit card. Not sure to wait more or ????? So bad service. read more

They are great taste restaurant, but price is a little over. It's acceptable with their good service and stable quality of food. Hope they could have a more clear chicken broth. And actually give half chicken inside. read more

This restaurant is one of my parents' top places to get lunch or dinner whenever we eat out. The food is good value with large portions, and there's always a variety to choose from. The dishes have a nice, home-cooked flavor so I think it's like comfort food for my family. Personally, I'm more picky. There's dishes I feel are a hit or miss for me, and, unfortunately, the ones I end up enjoying the most aren't offered long. The first time we visited, we got the Taiwanese popcorn chicken (one of my favorite dishes!!). Though there was plenty of chicken and it looked great, I felt the chicken tasted somewhat dry, or lean. I was pretty disappointed, and we didn't order that dish again for our next several visits. Though the popcorn chicken was not my standard, any rice, cabbage, and noodle dishes in the menu are always delicious. I was particularly impressed by the salty egg oyster mushroom dish, which almost reminded me of fried pork belly! Unfortunately, the next time we ordered that dish, the quality and taste seemed slightly different, and then the following visit later, the dish was no longer available. I was also impressed by the salty egg bitter melon, which had very little bitterness and was very flavorful (I guess I really lean towards all the egg-salted foods haha). I never liked bitter melon, but this dish changed my impressions drastically, so I really wanted to eat it again the next time we visited. Yesterday, we came with friends and ordered a variety of dishes (including the popcorn chicken) for everyone to try. Unfortunately, the bitter melon was sold out, which was very disappointing for me. Everything else we've ordered was good, though my opinion of the popcorn chicken hasn't changed since our first visit. The service is always great, so there's not much to say about that. Overall, I'm not happy about the inconsistency of quality and availability of certain dishes. I checked again today to see if the bitter melon dish is available, and it still remains sold out. Maybe the things I like aren't very popular so they are gradually fazed out. Or, the ingredients are generally limited or expensive to procure. However, the food is fine and I'll most likely be back again with my family for another visit. I just hope I can find something I really like that can stick around longer than the other two dishes. read more

151 Days was recommended by our friend from Taiwan, recommended for its authenticity. We had dinner here and would definitely be back! The standout for us was definitely the cordyceps flower black chicken soup which felt nourishing, it was the highlight of our meal. We also ordered the stir-fried water spinach with beef, which was very authentic. The mapo tofu was soft, comforting, and to our surprise, just $1 with their dine-in promotion, it was such a great deal! Ordering was quick and easy via a tablet, and the food arrived fast. The seating is spacious and open, making it a comfortable place to dine. We also loved the cute decor touches, especially around the bar area. read more

The stinky tofu is SO. GOOD. just like the ones in Taiwan!!! I ate the whole plate by myself lol. Lion's head meatballs are also 5/5 $1 Mapo tofu deal is a crazy deal and my husband enjoyed it. read more

I got the popcorn chicken and the three cup Chicken. The customer service was great because when they forgot about my order of three cup chicken , they offered to compensate by giving me the order for free. read more

Came here at night for dinner as a group of 3 - the food was mostly very good - we got the lions head meatball, sautéed pea vines, and one of the chicken soup. There was also a deal where mapo tofu was just $1 with any purchase, so we also got one of them. I think everything except the soup was great, which is a bit ironic given their specialty and the high price. The soup wasn't bad, but just felt like a standard chicken broth. I know black silkie chickens are pretty expensive by default so the price isn't unjustifiable, but I found the meat only okay and there wasn't that much other stuff in it. The meatballs and mapo tofu were really tasty though, and the $1 deal made it very worth it - I would come back for the various non soup dishes. read more

Restaurant was nicely decorated, and when we first got there was completely empty. But it was still early on a Thursday night and as we sat down, several other parties came in. What I noticed was that everyone there was authentic Chinese. My husband and son were the only non-Chinese in the whole place which means authentic Chinese folks love this place. The food was very good. My son loved the popcorn chicken, the pepper beef was nice and tender and had great flavor. The pea vines were delicious and the fried rice was tasty. Next time I come, I will need to try some of the soup. It looks delicious, but we didn't want to over order. read more

The last time I was here was when they were 151 Days Chicken? I can't remember exactly but it was closer to when they opened. Popped in for lunch right when they opened and ordered the bento (lots of options and reasonably priced), also ordered the beef noodle soup, ma po tofu and a ground pork and bean stir fry. The bento was fine- spicy crispy chicken wasn't very spicy, came with a side of ma po tofu that was super spicy, cabbage was bland (Monga does it better), the rice came with some ground pork on top and that was good. The beef in the noodle soup wasn't tender, the ground pork dish was good. Overall, experience was fine. There is parking lot and tons of street parking. read more

151 Days - Crispy Chicken w/Special Spicy Sauce Bento - Soup Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Known for their signature chicken soup, 151 Days represents how the Bresse chickens used at this restaurant are raised to the prime age of 150 days, and therefore served on the 151st day. Five of us made a reservation for 11:30A on a Saturday. There were already a few tables occupied and by around 12:15P, the entire restaurant was full. We placed our order and asked that the soup be served first so we could taste it independently without any other dishes as a distraction. It takes at least 15 minutes to prepare the soup, so just be ready for a little wait if you make the same request. + CLAM & GARLIC CHICKEN SOUP ($42.95): Being one of their signature soups, of course I was the most excited for this dish, but ended up being the most let down by it. The chicken pieces were mostly bone and skin with the meat being flavorless (from being completely boiled out) and pretty dry. I honestly couldn't tell it was the Bresse chicken at all... it didn't taste like anything special. Also, they threw in a bunch of whole garlic cloves, but they had also lost all their flavor, making them unpleasant to eat. All this said, my favorite ingredient in the soup was the clams. Also, the broth itself was clean, clear and comforting to sip since it was so light. However, for $42, this was far from worth it. + PEA SHOOTS w/ GARLIC ($17.95): Loved these! The pea shoots were tender and fresh, covered in a potent garlic oil. I could eat a whole plate of these, and the pieces of mushrooms were great additions. + STEAMED COD w/ SOY SAUCE ($21.95): The steamed fish itself was delicate, topped with slices of green onion and ginger and in a pool of soy sauce. Unfortunately there were SO MANY small bones in the fish which made it difficult to enjoy since I had to be so cautious with every bite. + TAIWANESE FRIED NOODLES ($14.95): This was a solid noodle dish with cabbage, onion, carrot and the most tender beef. It was a little oily, but the noodles were cooked perfectly and had great flavor from the wok. + SICHUAN SPICY CRISPY CHICKEN ($14.95): Fried pieces of chicken came in a slightly sweet soy sauce, topped with peppers and green onion. The exterior of the chicken was lightly fried and the pieces were fairly lean. The tantalizing spice was addicting and I couldn't stop eating it. + SALTED EGG SHRIMP BALLS ($18.95): These were actually whole shrimp, coated in a fried batter that consisted of salted duck egg, with more of it sprinkled on top. The shrimp were plump and had the perfect snap, while the duck egg gave it a rich flavor. This isn't a dish that you find often, so I recommend it! The service was fine at the beginning, but after we received all our food, we were not checked on again until we were ready for the bill. Additionally, they don't offer hot tea, which is essentially unheard of at Chinese restaurants. While I enjoyed four out of the six dishes, a large consideration comes down to their signature soup which unfortunately was a large miss. 3.25 stars. read more

Amazing food and great price for the portion. Style is home-cooking Taiwanese stir fries. I loved the pork and bamboo shoots stir fry and the leeks and pork one. The pork bun was surprisingly good too Seating was comfortable, clean, and pleasant. Kind and attentive service I highly recommend it! read more

It was so lovely to be able to experience 151 days in Redmond. The chicken broth which is ample and refillable was a treat. It was a little herbally but felt clean as you drink this soup. The restaurant itself is clean and the staff friendly. Beef noodle soup super good with the anise 5 star spices and tender meats with noodles perfectly cooked. The thousand year old egg with tofu and sprouts unique and a blend of modern and classic tastes..this was my favorite. The fermented tofu was unique and definitely an acquired taste. Popcorn chicken fun and great for kids! We ordered so much more but those were our standout dishes. Definitely a must return here to eat place! read more

The restaurant has a clean and open concept, and it wasn't too busy or loud when we went. The service is efficient and professional, although not especially hospitable (which doesn't bother me personally, but I know that matters to some people). Unfortunately the food itself was just mediocre. The braised beef pot and mapo tofu were not very good, in my opinion. The beef pot was basically a pot of mostly tendon, which isn't my personal favorite. The mapo tofu was only $1 because of a special promo they have right now, but I wouldn't get it again. It lacked depth in flavor, although it might be a good introduction to the dish for someone who's never tried it before (since it's only $1). I quite enjoyed the pork stir fry and cabbage stir fry. These are pretty simple dishes to make, though, so I would expect a restaurant to execute such dishes well. We had a disappointing experience since this restaurant has such a decent rating. Maybe it was an off day or something, but I will not likely return. read more

151 Days - Beef Brisket Pot, Mapo Tofu, Stir-fried Taiwanese Cabbage, Stir-fried Dried Tofu with Pork - Soup Near Me - Redmond, Washington

151 Days serves family style Taiwanese dishes, as well as bento boxes that are perfect if you prefer not to share food! The crispy chicken bento was amazing. It came with very well seasoned sides, and the crispy chicken (lightly fried) went perfectly with the rest of the dishes. Usually, I don't eat much of the sides in a bento box, but the curry, cabbage, and cucumber salad were amazing pairings that I devoured. The chicken also had a spicier kick than I expected, which I didn't mind but may be helpful to know if you have a lower tolerance. Went in at 12pm on a Saturday and there was plenty of seating, which got filled by 12:45pm. The overall ambience was great and relaxing. Waiters were attentive and helpful in decision making! read more

151 Days - Crispy Chicken w/Special Spicy Sauce Bento Taiwanese Fried Rice with Beef - Soup Near Me - Redmond, Washington

We kind of had very little service throughout the whole dining process. We waited a while before we finally caught someone's attention to take our order. Same thing when we wanted the check. I think they either were really busy or just don't have enough employees. Either way it kind of took away from the dining experience. The food was decent though! We got the scallion oil chicken, pea sprouts, and squid. While the three cup squid had good flavor, it was really dry. I probably would not order it again. 5/10 The chicken was really good though! I liked that they put a lot of scallion on top and there were different cuts of chicken. 8/10 The pea sprouts were cooked pretty perfectly. A classic Chinese dish. 9/10 Overall for food, it was good! The portions were a little small but it was filling regardless. MVP of this meal was probably the pea sprouts. read more

151 days is serving up authentic Taiwanese dishes with big portions! I took advantage of the $1 Mapo Tofu deal when ordering other dishes. The boneless Saltwater Duck is tender, juicy and meaty. The Taiwanese Fried Rice with Shrimp is full of wok hay and lots of shrimps. The servers are attentive and courteous. I love the space which is bright and with Taiwan-inspired decor. Would definitely come back for more! read more

We've been to 151 days many times, and will definitely continue going there. I believe the owner also owns the Looking for Chai in Edmonds. They provide some of the same dishes, but in 151 days, there are more choices, and the dishes are also cooked better. Our favorite dish is their meat balls in broth, a dish called "lion head" in Chinese. This dish is common in Taiwan and China, but it's a bit hard to find in the Seattle area. 151 days does a good job with it, therefore we are regulars. Other dishes are also very good, such as bamboo and pork stir fired, chive with black beans, and etc. When it first opened, this place was always very busy, but recently I noticed getting a seat is much easier, sometimes no wait on the weekends. I recommend this restaurant! read more

想懷念台灣臭豆腐的味道必來這裡試試看！ If you are craving authentic Taiwanese stir fry type food, this place is a must try on the east side! Stinky tofu was crispy and fragrant, lions head soup was well portioned and very tender, three cup chicken was flavorful with lots of basil. Interior was pleasant, service was decent - overall I can't say much more! I was very pleasantly surprised. It will definitely hit the spot if you're feeling nostalgic. read more

- Decent but I prefer "looking for chai"- We came here around 11:30 am and the waitress sat us down right away. The menu is completely different since a while ago and it's like another "looking for chai". They have tons of Taiwanese dishes, with some big pots of chicken soup on top. I ordered the scallion chicken bento and my husband ordered the beef noodle soup. He likes it as much as monga's beef noodle soup, but he said it's different. I like Monga's better, at least I think the soup there is more authentic. The bento is good with the usual sides of stir-fried cabbage and Stir-fried tomato and scrambled eggs. The little portion of bamboo shoots were good as well. The scallion chicken is a bit too oily for me, but the seasoning is on point. There is some minced pork on the rice, but I like the one from looking for chai better. They get quite busy around noon, and it seems more popular after the ownership change. They did refill my water once, but that was it. The lowest tip amount is 18% here on the machine. I prefer looking for chai overall for more bubble tea selection and a better service. read more

I think this might be my new favorite Taiwanese spot. They have a huge selection of authentic Taiwanese dishes and you can tell everything is super fresh. I also love how they have seasonal items which you have to check out. The waitress was super sweet and they even offered to move us to a table where the sun wasn't as bright. It's pretty spacious and lots of seats but it did seem to get a bit busy around 7pm We tried: dong po rou w gua bao (pork belly buns): literally melts in your mouth and the bao was very fluffy! such a good pairing salty duck w bean sprouts: im usually not a huge fan of duck but i really loved this. super tender and no gamey taste at all salt n pepper crispy cod: loved the crispiness, but also so juicy -- beware of the bones though crispy prawns w salty egg yolk: again very crispy and the salty egg yolk gave it nice flavor pea vines: one of my favorite chinese veggies but honestly was sauteed very well taiwanese sausage: you can never go wrong with taiwanese sausage,, wish they cut them in slices instead of chunks though-- so its easier to eat with the garlic read more

151 Days has been an interesting place on my list to check out on Eastside, and I'm glad I was able to stop by and see what was up! I've been to 151 days twice during the time of this review, and was able to try a good variety of dishes on my visit. It is fortunate that there are so many Chinese restaurants in Seattle, and 151 Days would be an alright pick if you are looking to fulfill that craving. The parking situation for this restaurant is interesting, I don't think there is dedicated parking on my first visit, but based on the other reviews, there is a retail lot you can park your car in. Otherwise, you will need to try and find street side parking or parking at other vendors, and then walk on over. Service is fast - luckily on both visits to 151 Days, I was able to get seated immediately for parties of 2-3 on weekday nights. This restaurant does get busy, but there seems to enough seating to accommodate high traffic of customers. The ambiance is definitely sit down, though there are also are take out orders - definitely sticks to the Chinese decoration and theme nicely! I'll review a couple of dishes that I thought were notable: Crispy Simmered Brisket ($21.95): On the lunar new year menu, the waitress recommended this dish as the popular option. I would say I loved it! The brisket is tender and the breading is thin, crispy, and not oily. The sauce sort of reminded me of worcestershire sauce but thicker and with a hint of plum sweetness. I would say one of the more solid options here. Taiwanese Meatball with Nappa ($26.34): I love lion's head meatballs and this dish was alright. Though the flavor was good and the meatball itself tender and moist - this was not large enough at all given the price point. I've had this style of meatball at a couple of other establishments that were 2x the size for the same price. But I understand that I am someone with a big appetite, so if you are looking for a comforting dish to supplement your ordering, I would do it! Crispy Prawns with Salted Egg Yolk ($22.74): The prawns were crispy and though the salted egg yolk flavor was subtle, you could definitely tell that it was there. This is one of those dishes that I would say tastes great on it's on, but doesn't really go with rice as it's flavor would get muted even more with the rice. There is a decent amount of prawns in the order which is nice. I would say that in terms of flavor, 151 Days gets it right most of the time, but I personally would have preferred larger quantities in respect to the price point for each of the dishes. You'll probably pay $20 - $35 per person to get a decent number of dishes, but they may or may not fill you up. I think I've had a decent tasting of the offerings of 151 Days, but I don't think I would regularly revisit unless I'm craving something specific. read more

Wow, this place has seriously good Chinese food in a dark wood decor. It was near the hotel, which is the main reason I choose to eat here. On a weekday early lunch, there was only one other party of two. I was greeted immediately upon entering and seated. They have lunch box options that are similar to bento, where you get a protein, side veggies, rice for a reasonable price - about $20. I also ordered a plum drink which was delicious and surprisingly smokey. Food came out quick and was so dang good. I'm from Hawaii where there's local Chinese food and an emergence of more authentic Chinese food. This tasted authentic to me, better than what I've had in Hawaii. I wanted to come back here for lunch but my work trip ended before I could. I will be back next time tho! read more

My partner got a reservation for 6pm on the day after Thanksgiving in 2022. When we arrived, it looked to be about 1/3 full - it seems this place is a hidden gem! Parking is in the "retail" lot, attached to the building. 90 minutes, daily. It's the same entrance that residents use, but there's a separate "gated" area for the residents to go into. Bathrooms are jointly shared with Shaburina next door. Tip calculations were based off of the subtotal, which is nice to see. For 7 people, it came out to $275 after tax and tip. Not bad! 2nd time here - same number of people, but an alternate roster. $165 before tip (after tax) - $190 after both tax and tip We've been back a few times since - mostly for the dinner bento ($14.50 for a LOT of food). Those experiences have been a lot better, but the parking situation is worse - for whatever dumb reason, "Smile studio" has single-handedly "claimed" 7 of the retail spots for 24/7 use - even though their hours aren't 24/7? Whatever. This place is solid. I'm here now at 530pm on a Saturday - and you know it's good when you don't hear anyone speaking English at all here (the restaurant is almost full - maybe 1-2 tables empty). Ambience-wise, it's quiet Chinese music playlist in the background. read more

I ordered dishes from this restaurant via Uber Eats and I also came to eat here. This is now one of my favorite restaurants in this area! The restaurant name is somewhat misleading. I thought they only sold chicken soup or any kinds of chicken soup. In fact, it's a Taiwanese restaurants where you can eat most Taiwanese dishes including the street food. They even have stinky tofu! All the dishes are authentic! They taste like exactly what I have had in Taiwan. They all taste so good!! Most important of all, they use good and fresh ingredients that you can tell when you eat. The service at the restaurant was great. The staff was very friendly. When I treated my old friend at this restaurant, we asked the girl who served our table to help us take a photo. She paid attention to our surroundings to make some adjustments and gave us a good shot. She also packed our to-go order with care. When she learned that my friend and I hadn't met more almost 40 years, she didn't rush us to leave even though the restaurant was closing. The interior of the restaurant was gorgeous. When I first came here, I thought it would be super expensive and was worried. But in fact, the price was reasonable. I came here twice, once during the lunch time on a weekday and the other time was during the dinner time on a weeknight. Not too many people at the restaurant during the lunch time, but it was all packed during the dinner time. Next time I probably would try to make a reservation if I want to go there in the evening. I would definitely come again to try more dishes here. read more

Can't believe , I have to wait additional 30 minutes to get my food order online at the restaurant. At the same time watching other food being ready that has no one to pick up. On top of that, I didn't even get the sauces to go w my fermented fried tofu - a must for the dish. Ugh. read more

Good taste and love their chicken soup. Parking is a bit tricky but easy once you know where to park

My friend wanted the chicken soup from here. But when we arrived, we found out it's under new management. The menu looked different from before according to my friend. My favorite thing was the Bento, which came with fried chicken 椒麻鸡, tomato egg 番茄炒蛋, cabbage 炒包菜, and stewed pork with rice 卤肉饭. It was delicious and a great value. We also got sweet & sour pork 锅包肉，kurobota pork with bamboo shoot 黑猪肉炒笋丝 and stinky tofu 臭豆腐. These dishes all taste fine but nothing stood out, also on the pricey side. Service is great. The waiter was nice about giving recommendations, and came back to check on us a few times during the meal. Overall, I'll definitely get a bento when I come back. read more

Honestly, a little disappointed. I had high hopes based on many recs but I didn't think it was anything extraordinary. The chicken soup was actually quite bland and honestly, I could make this at home myself with Chinese herbs and a silk chicken in my instant pot and it would taste better. We ordered chow mein, clams, 3 cup chicken, popcorn chicken, the pork belly bao, and stir fried cabbage. I feel like I could just make all these dishes at home. It wasn't anything that special. Even the Lu Rou fan was just okay. To top things off their menu has changed significantly from last year. When I looked on Google to find the menus, it didn't match the ones at the restaurant. Also the photos from Yelp and Google are really weird. They're a bunch of misleading pics like chicken soups that have nice presentation and look appetizing but when I show the waiter that's what I want, they said this isn't from our restaurant. Strange. So don't trust the photos you see on Google or Yelp. Anyway, a little underwhelming. I still prefer Looking for Chai. Maybe we'll give this a second chance one day but as of now I probably won't be coming back any time soon... read more

The food was fine. The fried chicken was really dry and the mapo tofu tasted bland. Maybe I just went on a slow day. And the service was generally good but a little weird. After we ordered our drinks, they brought out the wrong drink and when we corrected them they didn't believe us and we asked them to check the order and then they came back with the correct drink. Not super rude but their conviction was odd haha. The interior looks pretty cute though and I imagine their other items would be worth trying. read more

This restaurant had started out as a specialty chicken restaurant with a rather limited chicken focused menu. I had dined here when they first opened, and while the quality of chicken was great, there wasn't enough variety to accommodate my picking eating family. Fast forward to last week when we didn't want to wait at Shaburina next door D decided to give this another try. We were pleasantly surprised that their menu now resembles more like a regular Chinese restaurant. The peashoots were my favorite. Salt and pepper prawns and chili chicken were all delicious. read more

hands-down my go-to for Taiwanese food in Seattle. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and authentically done--but the Three Cup Chicken steals the show. Perfectly tender chicken, fragrant basil, and that irresistible sweet-savory sauce--it's an absolute must-order every single time. Friendly service and cozy vibes make the experience even better. If you love Taiwanese cuisine, this is the spot. read more

The first time I came here, I tried their popular Coconut Bresse Chicken Pot, with other meat and veggies to add to it. It was tasty and comforting. I came again with my bf, and we tried the Honey Walnut Shrimp, Sweet & Sour Braised Pork Ribs, Beef Chow Mein, Braised Sprouted Rice w/ Fried Shrimp, and Bresse Broth Pot Sticker. Everything was good. Service was friendly, and they were pretty busy the couple of times I went. Looks like they've added a lot more to their menu since I've last went, so want to go back and try more. read more

It was not super busy on a late Sunday afternoon so we were seated right away. The service was friendly and really proactive in refilling our drinks. The crispy chicken was pretty good and did have a nice crisp to it, but I was a little disappointed with the spicy sauce because it didn't really feel spicy at all. I enjoyed the saltiness of the string beans personally, but my party wasn't a super big fan. It was also a little more soggy than we would have preferred but not bad. The Hakka stir fry was my favorite. It had a nice mix of ingredients and it was not overwhelming. I am definitely interested in trying the other stir fries in the future! read more

I had a chance to sample the famous 150 days Bresse chicken via a Yelp event. We bought additional food more than the discounted meal, so I decided it is worth a separate write-up. I can see why loyal customers love this place, and why some customers poo-poo this place. The chicken is prepped old-school style bone-in and skin-on. If you like your chicken deboned and skinned and purchased in vacuum sealed bags, stop reading, this place is not for you. For those that like a chicken as a whole chicken, the flavor is amazing. I'm not going to lie; the customers were almost all Asian. Don't worry, the staff speaks English. :) We arrived on a Sunday at 7:30. (They close at 9.) The diners were thinning out by then. Service was swift and cordial. Our extra dishes arrived first and then the Bresse meal arrived. I'm glad we were at a 4-person table cuz we used every inch of the table. The Food: Included in the Bresse Meal, $45 - 4 Stars 1. Soy Sauce Bresse Half of a whole Chicken This is NOT the Cantonese style of soy sauce chicken (not to disappoint anyone). The photo image already shows that. :) The basic steam/poach method preserves the tenderness of the chicken very well. This is a very classic preparation. The soy sauce option is simple yet flavorful. 2. Bresse Chicken Broth, Garlic Mushroom option This is a simple clear both that tastes fantastic. There are some jujubes, or red dates, in the broth as well as goji berries, plus the mushrooms and garlic. Some bone pieces are included in the soup. This is how the Chinese makes a great soup. The bones are part of the process and stays with the soup. Delicious! The soup stayed warm throughout our meal thanks to the burner. 3. Flat Bread with an Eggplant side The flat bread itself is less like a flatbread, more like a low height biscuit. It was too doughy for my taste. I was looking forward to something like a roti. The eggplant side is however fantastic - savory goodness and incredibly well seasoned. 4. Veggies plate Well, sort of included. The menu page said it is included, but they said it is not, but could bring me some. (I am guessing the menu is outdated.) I got a bowl of arugula and a bowl of bean sprouts with a bit of finely chop beets on top. I added these to the soup. Works for me! Bresse Broth Potstickers (5), $10.95 - 4 Stars In case you don't know what does bresse broth have to do with pot stickers that are filled with pork and shrimp, chicken broth plus corn starch is what makes the flaky, crusty bits. These well stuffed potstickers are very delicious. Even the soy dipping sauce is good. Dry Noodles with Spicy Shrimp, $12.75 - 5 Stars I am one of the weirdos that like my noodles with lots and lots of veggies, so it wouldn't feel starchy and heavy. This - This is it! In the photo, you'll see lots of arugula and shredded beets mixed in with the noodles. The three prawns are jumbo sized. This is a delicious plate of noodles. read more
