    Cucumber Wood Ear Salad
    Tiffany H.

    The truffle soup dumpling is the best soup dumpling I've ever had, which is saying a lot because I've been on a journey to try every dumpling house in the area. The dumplings are so fresh and soupy. They bring out dipping sauce but to be honest it takes away from the delicious truffle flavor so try at least one on its own. The cucumber wood ear mushroom salad is a bit spicier than most places I've tried but it's not a bad thing! I really like the seasoning that they use to marinate the cucumber. I would 100% recommend both dishes. The only bad thing about this place is the parking it's a bit of a fight to find a spot in the area but I think the food is well worth it

    Stir Fry Chow Mein Noodles With Prawns

    Came here for lunch and the food was overall tasty. We had ordered juicy pork and scallop dumplings, prawn stir fry noodles, and a beef pancake wrap. Dumplings were tasty and flavorful. The stir fry noodles were good but on the sweet side. Beef pancake wraps was a little too salty but great portion size. Ambiance was ok. Decor was a little too dark for my taste and lot of the dishes were chipped. Service was friendly and pricing was on par with other restaurants. We would come back again if in the area.

    Dumplings and Sichuan cuisine together! Win win !! Loved the food and the vibe. Everything was super tasty and delicious. Chicken soup dumplings were the best. Service was good too. Lots of variety for vegan and vegetarian folks. Definitely recommend.

    We came here for lunch the other day and the food was absolutely fantastic! Pros: + Fish Blossom - cooked to perfection. The perfect thing to halt the sweet and spicey cravings + Tons of vegan options - they do not have a special vegan menu printer, but they can make a lot of their dishes plant based. Take a look online at their vegan section + Friendly Service + Reasonable Parking Cons: NA IG: AndTheNextAdventureBegins

    Great ambiance for this restaurant! Inside is very nicely decorated. It's also very clean and organized and has nice lighting. It would be a nice place for a date or a celebration. Unfortunately, the food was pretty average to me. We had their chow mein and fried rice and both were only okay. To be honest, their fried rice was one of my least favorite Chinese fried rice I tried in Seattle. The amount of protein was very small too. Maybe just 2 oz of meat? The fried rice was decently salty and overcooked/moist. I liked the chow mein more. It was tasty and sweet and the prawns were soft and fresh. The service was good. The server answered any questions we had and the food didn't take long to make.

    We've come here twice and had a great time both times! If you're looking for a Taiwanese place with dishes similar to Din Tai Fung but more affordable, more authentic, and less pretentious, Chiho is definitely your place. Their mixed basket xiaolongbao is super fun and all the flavors were great, but you can't go wrong with the classic pork. The beef noodle soup is my personal favorite, but the Dan Dan noodles were probably a close second. Definitely a place people should check out, whatever you order I'm sure you'll have a good time

    Atmosphere: a really pretty decorated little spot in downtown Seattle. Service: fast and friendly service Food: our group wanted to try just throw everything on the menu so we try to get a large variety of everything. The only thing that was out was the roasted duck and that was kind of disappointing, but we were able to get just about everything else we wanted. We really liked all the stirfry and the fish dish and all the buns. They even had vegetarian options, though I would not recommend the vegetarian options if I was not a vegetarian. The noodle dishes were all really yummy as well. I think the highlight was the fried fish dish.

    ALTERNATIVE DTF (4 stars) - FOOD: Very good Chinese food - PRICES: Fair - SERVICE: ok but felt kind of rushed - AMBIANCE: Inside was a bit outdated and tacky for a Belltown restaurant I haven't hung out in Belltown in a long time but I always like eating in the area. When you want soup dumplings but you don't want to go to DTF, you can come here for the alternative. Their menu has more offerings and their soup dumplings pretty good. :: JUDGE THOSE DUMPLINGS :: Handmade dumplings! We all know any xlb will be compared to DTF dumplings. Soupiness - very soupy. Texture - close enough, thin, no hard top, and easy to puncture. Doe it have the 18 folds, probably not but good enough. Flavor - flavorful. PORK XLB - yum. yes, order. Tasted like typical XLB, not the best but good enough. WAGYU BEEF SOUP XLB - good. not sure what's so special. Reminded me of fine ground beef with some pieces of tendon or fat from time to time (that I was not a fan of). :: NOODZ :: Stir fry Chow Mein Noodles with Prawns - greasy but not overly greasy. good flavor. The prawns were de-pooped and cooked well. Flavor was tasty, I couldn't stop eating the noodles even when full. Until the next review....

    I have frequented Chiho a couple of times but this is by far the best visit. Kaka our server was amazing with recommendations and the service. Right at open they were extremely busy so you know this place is good! They have everything you could want on a menu so there is something for everyone. What we got and the combination was so good, no notes. Get this exact order Crab rangoons (with real crab!!) Mixed basket of dumplings Roasted duck Typhoon friend prawns (crunchy garlic + onion heaven) Dan Dan noodles Green beans 100% will be back, portion sizes were amazing and made great leftovers!

    More modernized Chinese food with American Chinese, Cantonese, and some Sichuanese dishes! I came here with a friend and they had a pretty good happy hour! We got their dandan noodles (happy hour), mala soup dumplings (happy hour), mixed basket soup dumplings, honey walnut shrimp, and honey roast duck. My favorite was absolutely the mala soup dumplings it totally slapped! Everything tasted really good so no complaints!

    I want to preface this my saying, I bet it's better when you dine in. I ordered delivery and was a little disappointed by the dumplings coming in a paper container instead of plastic, like the fried rice I ordered. There was a loss of juice in the soup dumplings, flavor was still really good. The fried rice was really good as well. I was kinda sad I didn't receive any sauces with my order. No soy sauce, so chili oil. My overall delivery experience would have been better if the dumplings came in a better container. I would have appreciated the rice in the paper and the dumplings in plastic or a aluminum take out container and some sauces, because I had none at the place I had them delivered to.

    There's so many restaurants in Belltown so I'm happy when I get to try a new one out. Came here with a friend and loved the inside. The coloration and decorations made for a good vibe. We were seated immediately. I decided to go with a Prawn Chow Mein dish. I was surprised by the large portion! The noodle part of the dish was great and very tasty. The prawns themselves were cooked well but were slightly lacking in flavor. Our server was quick and helpful and was knowledgeable in answering our questions. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out this place.

    Came here as a group of 5, and we all thought it was pretty delicious. Our favourite, unanimously, was the crab soup dumplings. Staff were friendly too. Also we really liked the mapo tofu.

    Best new Chinese restaurant in town, and arguably the best soup dumplings in all of Seattle! Duck and truffle fried rice were great too!

    Does this restaurant have a parking lot?

    No, just street parking but on 3rd Av, you have several public parking lots.

    Are dogs really allowed here? It's tagged that way, but it also says no outdoor seating and it's not clear from the pictures either.

    No they are not

    Came here on a Wednesday night and the place was literally empty. We were greeted and seated right…read moreaway of course. Our server was really nice and provided refills quickly, as well as offered to put in more broth. The sauce bar is pretty good. There are some appetizers there too. We got the lamb and beef combo, as well as pork belly. All of them tasted great. Ambience is really nice. Very nicely decorated. It does make me really sad to see such a great restaurant sit so emptily, likely due to its location.

    First time trying. Went late afternoon on a Sunday. Plenty of tables available. Several tables…read morewere full with patrons. We ordered the lamb & beef combo, mixed veggies. Selected the healthy mushroom broth and the pork bone broth. Both were just okay not a lot of flavor, but not too salty. We both got the sauce bar too. Also included some chicken feet, a Thai chicken gizzards and celery dish, fungus, two different kinds of soup, and cantaloupe and grapes. You can go up to the sauce bar Unlimited times. Restaurant was tidy and clean, service was very good and cordial Free parking for two hours on the 3rd floor, but a bit sketchy. The restaurant is on level 2c. Kind of hard to find cause the over the door signage says Bite of China in big letters and Pipa Mountain Hot pot in small print Food was okay portion size of meat combo was generous. Might go back again.

    So Very disappointed with our delivered meal on 8/31/26. Dinner for two, we've eaten at FLF at…read moreleast 20 times since they opened. We ordered the usual, schezuan shrimp and moo shu pork with a green onion pancake starter. The pancake was bland, not seasoned, but ok. But wow, I open the shrimp and I can smell ammonia coming from the meal. I try one bite of shrimp just to make sure it's not me because it is heavily spiced and cooked in oil. Nope, shrimp is seriously spoiled, and the moo shu is smelling off as well. We decide we can't eat the food, and I decided to head down to the restaurant so I could talk with staff and have them check out the meal. Jin, the waiter in charge, tells me after I come in that it doesn't smell bad to her. Jesus, just what you want to hear when you've driven back to restaurant with the spoiled shrimp. Strike one. Jin then tells me that the employees eat the shrimp today and are fine. Strike two. I explain im really not trying to be difficult, but Im concerned about the defensive posturing in light of a possible food poisoning situation. So Jin, to prove her point, goes ahead and eats one of the shrimps, the other male staff watching her with some discomfort. I tell her to spit it out, but nope, down the hatch it goes. Jim goes on to tell me that we eat dead seafood (you know us---People in Everett--and yeah maybe it's a little soft but that's just typical dead seafood. Strike three. She did finally offer to refund my meal in cash, and I told her I was really trying to just make sure the restaurant wasn't unintentionally making my neighbors, friends, and family sick. I wasn't interested in going on blast with a review and contacting the health district, but after sleeping on it, I'm doing the right thing. Sorry Jin, your ego got in the way of a resolution. Be careful.... PS A note for Jin and Flying Lemon Fish. When I was 23, I served some bad clams at a fine dining restaurant. The family called to tell us their daughter was in the hospital with some liver problems. We immediately went to the cooler and went through all the shellfish, called back the family and offered to take care of any medical bills or follow-up. It happens if you serve food occasionally, just be respectful with your response, it goes a long way instead of challenging a customer's dissatisfaction.
