Came here for SRW and they had such a great deal! 5 dishes that can be shared between 2-3 people for $65. We made a reservation in advance and were seated promptly at the bar. The restaurant has a pretty cozy vibe and they brought out the food very quickly. We tried: Black truffle xiao long bao: this was very good with a lot of soup inside! Very yummy but I wish it had stronger truffle flavor. Dan Dan men: this was a bit more water-y than other Dan Dan men I've had, and had some mala flavors. I probably won't get this again. Honey bbq pork ribs: my least favorite of the dishes, although my husband liked it. The sauce was good, but the pork had some strong smell/taste to it that I didn't really enjoy. Truffle fried rice: this was really good! Strong truffle flavor with delicious wagyu meat. Highly recommend. Honey walnut shrimp: super great as well! Crunchy and sweet with large shrimp and walnut pieces. One of the better honey walnut shrimps I've had! Overall, I think this place is definitely worth checking out especially during SRW when they have a great deal. read more

Service was so friendly!!! The mixed dumplings were great. They each had a distinct unique flavor. So good! I also couldn't turn down some Mapu tofu and was not disappointed. Worth a stop. read more

A fantastic visit in Seattle, recommend by Yelp -- and Yelp reviewers were right. This smaller shop offers moderately loud music with an upbeat theme as well as pan-Asian decor. Booths, lounge seats and standard dining tables are all offered, as well as bar seating. While not a large place, this spot offers BIG flavor! After a cold day exploring Seattle, we wanted warm comfort food and we got it here. Our food was brought out very quickly and our waitress was super attentive to water and changing out utensils. I highly recommended this for a couple/group or even solo looking for Asian cuisine. The menu offered more "Americanized" options as well as more authentic flavors. There is also an extensive bar list, with our favorite, Soju. read more

Visiting the city here, we came in during their happy hour window and wow is it really good deal! Value for the choice of dishes were great. I loved the garlic wings lol! Noticed there were many sports fans coming here to dine too as a stadium is nearby. So it seems great place to have dinner before the game! Wish my appetite was even bigger to try more of their food! Service by the team is great and prompt. I think there were plenty of pictures on the menu so one would have idea of what they're eating haha. But glad Yelpers like myself are here to help figure out what looks good with photos! read more

The truffle though was to die for! Right next to Rob Roy it was perfect to have a couple drinks then walk right next door here Service was great and I liked that they had the Santa chairs for the holidays read more

With high ratings, we booked a table for six for dinner on a Monday evening at 6 p.m. We left disappointed. Here's why. 1) Food: It was hit or miss. The cucumber ear wood salad and dan dan noodles were good with balanced flavor and spice. The steamed vegetables and the shrimp dumplings fell flat. 2) Drinks: They have a large drink menu and my wife and I enjoyed the white wine from New Zealand. 3) Space: It's one room with a bar and two unisex bathrooms in the back. 4) Service: This is where it went wrong. First of all, they never got back to us to confirm our reservation leaving it pending. Once we arrived, it took about 10 minutes to notice we were there. It took 30 minutes for someone to take our order and a few items were delayed or wrong. When asked, staff got very defensive and blamed other staff. I wouldn't go back here....even for the dan dan noodles. read more

Came here for happy hour on a Friday (Happy Hour is until 6 PM) The holiday decorations are SO adorable (little santa hat chair backings)! We tried (following are HH pricings): Hot & Sour Soup ($2) - fine Crab Rangoon ($6) - crispy and creamy. loved the fact that they were real crab Dan Dan Noodles ($8) - so good, probably one of my favorite items. Soft, thin noodles swimming in a bed of hot chili oil with pork crumbles on top. Chicken Chow Mein ($9) - this was fine. Thin fresh egg noodles with a few pieces of chicken. Normal Menu: Kung Pao Wagyu Sirloin ($29) - One of the more expensive items on the menu. It was good and I think the amount of protein provided justifies the price. Mixed Soup Dumplings ($12) - Awesome. Delicate wrappers with a juicy filling. My favorite of the variety was the truffle pork. The staff members were so sweet and accommodating :) read more

Chiho Bistro has a trendy, modern vibe, and the food was enjoyable for the most part. We ordered the laogaanma wings, mixed soup dumplings, and soy-glazed beef noodles. The laogaanma wings were amazing full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. My favorite part of the mealm Unfortunately, the soy-glazed beef noodles didn't do so well. They were rather bland and lacked the flavor I was expecting. The dish came off as a bit greasy without much taste to redeem it. The soup dumplings were fine, though nothing particularly special. The service, was excellent, server was friendly and attentive. The only downside was the cramped seating, which made the dining area feel a bit tight. Despite that, I'd probably return....... for those wings. read more

We ordered over $300 meal from Chiho. It was delivered as requested -- but part of the order was left out -- for which we had paid. O.K. Mistakes happen. But when I followed up with the restaurant to ask about the issue, they ignored my inquiry and never responded. The food wasn't all that great, either. read more

Very bad service and filthy place. The floor is very dirty and sticky. The chairs have food on it, we have to clean it ourselves. Will not go back. read more

*vegan review* Came for the vegan soup dumplings, 1000% worth it!!! Also ordered the salt and pepper tofu, veggie potstickers, and veggie wontons in chili oil. All delicious! So nice to have plenty of vegan options. Our meat-eating friends enjoyed their food too. Would recommend and will definitely come back. read more

Wow this place was really good!! Easy to get a reservation on Yelp but looking for street parking is always tricky in this area. It's a dim lit dining space, pretty cool and unique restaurant! The menu isn't that big but we went with the staples which were all delicious. We had the honey walnut prawns, beef rice noodles, Dan Dan noodles and pork XLB soup dumplings. Special love to the Dan Dan noodles and soup dumplings which were really rich in flavors. The pricing is a little on the high end but overall worth the meal! read more

Came here on a Friday night around 7pm and was able to be seated right away! Got the mala soup dumplings, mapo tofu, dan dan noodles, and the cucumber and wood ear mushroom salad! The cucumber salad was a bit of a miss for me but everything else was really tasty! It was pretty spicy! I loved the presentation of the pink soup dumplings. The mapo tofu was definitely the star of the night. I got a drink too and it was pretty cheap, especially for Seattle! Would definitely come here again! read more

Wow - such wonderful smells and flavors coming from this kitchen. Servers were busy but tended to us just enough. We made reservations for a Sunday late afternoon and glad we did as the place was packed. Our table had the Dan Dan noodles (able to make vegetarian and the heat!), the mixed vegetables (very mild - maybe too mild but beautifully cooked), a fried fix dish (enough to feed a family of four and the flavor was magical), and shrimp chow mein (just right). Leftovers were a welcome treat the next day. We did not see a ton of vegan options as described by another reviewer and the wait staff did not offer but a couple options. Definitely will go again. read more

Chiho Bistro - Mixed soup dumpling - Noodles Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Highly recommend, especially for their happy hour menu! We dropped by mid afternoon on a Saturday, and for a brief moment, we were the only guests. Although, the place began to fill up quickly; we noticed that almost every table had "reserved" on it. Mind you this is a pretty small restaurant that can maybe seat 30 or so people, so the restaurant being booked was a really good sign. Here's what we ordered: * Garlic Fried Chicken Wings: This was maybe 3 wings and 2 drumsticks. I love drumsticks so I was happy to see them. This was my favorite dish at the restaurant; the chicken was juicy and the outside was nice and crispy. The breading wasn't too thick either, which I personally love. I gotta say I didn't expect such good wings from this place. * Dan Dan pork chilli oil noodles with pork: This was very delicious. I don't even normally like Dan Dan noodles all that much, but the flavor here was spot on. The noodles were unavoidably drenched in oil at the end -- always true of any oily dish -- but modulo those last two salty bites, this was a nicely seasoned dish. * Chicken and egg fried rice: Typical (good) fried rice. I picked this mainly as an alternative to white rice -- yummy! But not exceptional, which is not a problem. Waitstaff is super efficient, which I'm a big fan of. For example, they sat us down at a table already with menus and a water jug ready. I don't need someone to pour the water or bring the menus; if anything, *this setup is my ideal. I can't wait to come back! read more

I want to love this place and their vegan menu, and especially their vegan soup dumplings! But after several visits I can say it's just ok. The vegan food items are not the most flavorful and on my last visit they brought me pork wontons instead of the veggie ones I ordered. They don't really come back to check on you so I had to get up and go find someone to get my order corrected and then they tried to tell me I ordered the pork ones. I probably won't be back at this rate. read more

The wife and I stopped in on Christmas Eve and they were booked solid. Fortunately, I had called ahead a few hours and was able to secure a table for us. The ambiance somehow managed to be romantic, festive, and authentic all at once. We ordered pretty quickly and enjoyed some hot tea until items started to hit the table. Garlic Wings, Salt & Pepper Tofu, Truffle and Traditional Dumplings, and Dan Dan Chili noodles. Everything we ordered with spectacular. From flavor, to serving size, I couldn't have asked for more. I highly highly recommend toe Dan Dan noodles, they are insane! The truffle dumplings are also a must. Overall we had a great experience. Unfortunately, a few hours after eating I was horrifically sick throughout the night. Given the wife was fine, I'm thinking this was just my system being extra sensitive for some reason. read more

Do not be fooled by such pictures, you are going to need at least 2-3 dishes here in order to get a full experience here. Any of the dishes can be shared or eaten by one person depending on your dining situation. All the food is flavorful and comes out fairly quick, but do not rush eating it because it will upset your stomach if you do. That is likely due to some of the high oil content in some of the dishes. Considering I am not of Asian descent, I appreciated that my server never judged me once on how I ate these dishes. While I enjoyed the soup dumplings, I tend to struggle eating these but nobody stared at me looking like I was an alien. In fact, a couple next to me was intrigued by what I got and ordered a few of the things I ordered! All the noodle dishes are a safe bet to order. I love noodles and are one of my food weaknesses, so if I see an attractive noodle dish, you can be certain it will be ordered and even more likely it will be enjoyed. The total for all three dishes was pretty fair too. I also ordered a Ginger Tea, which helped with the spice but likely hurt my stomach later. That is likely due to the milk added to it. Slow down and enjoy this one sip at a time. Before I left, patrons were coming in quickly; I can see why. Good food at a great price with great portions. That is pretty solid. read more

We stumbled upon this cute little gem on our trip to Seattle, and luckily it was also happy hour! We were drawn in by the promise of vegan dim sum, and this selection did not disappoint! Everything we ate (soup dumplings! cucumber and wood ear salad! fried rice! salt and pepper tofu! dan dan noodles!) was so delicious, so authentic, so flavorful. Service was so kind, especially as we continued to add more and more dishes to our order. I'm salivating writing this review (sadly my phone died and I have no food photos) and this will be my first stop on a return trip to Seattle. read more

The dumplings are amazing. I would recommend the spicy one. Service was little tight because there was only one server AND host for the evening. I think a few parties would have appreciated at least one more person for the night. Cute decorations for Halloween as well. read more

Food - the happy hour was a pretty good deal overall, but for vegetarians you will have to mainly order off the usual menu. I liked everything I had but the vegan xiao long bao and the black truffle egg fried rice were the highlights for me. Service - we came soon after they opened and service was very speedy, but as more folks came in and time wore on, I can see how service would slow down quite a bit. I'd recommend going in the first 1-2 hours they open, not just for happy hour but for faster service, otherwise you should plan to be more leisurely on time. Ambiance - very cute and modern space. The tables are a bit tight but it felt cozy with the lighting and decor. read more

Had a great dinner here for Seattle Restaurant week. The price - $65 for 5 courses - was very reasonable. It fed 2 people, but easily could have fed 3.

Selfishly I have to say, discovering this restaurant and having it in the neighborhood is fantastic. Looking for an alternate from the heavy foot traffic of Din Tai Fung (DTF) and Dough Zone (DZ)? Chiho Bistro provides a more relaxed atmosphere and significantly shorter wait times. Chiho Bistro is newer the neighborhood, and I think they're still working on the consistency of how cooked their food is. There have been a few times that the Chinese Chive Pork Potstickers seemed undercooked (a bit too pink for my liking) and the Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) were cold. Some of the dishes I've received had too much sauce, drenched to a point that it ruined the experience of trying it (General Tso's Chicken and Szechuan Chili Oil Wontons). Unlike DTF and DZ, you get a great portion of the Szechuan Chili Oil Wontons (my order had at least 10 vs the 4-6 you'll get at the other places). Their Beef burrito in a scallion pancake is one of my favorites (plus the soup dumplings). The burrito has shredded beef slices which are marinated perfectly. The scallion pancake gives it an extra kick, but doesn't taste too oily. Open to keep coming back for the soup dumplings and beef burrito, but hoping the quality keeps getting better. read more

It's a rarity for a restaurant to have such a good happy hour that goes until 6pm. The $2 scallion pancakes are killer. They also do an amazing job of catering to both meat eaters and vegetarians. Everything our table had was great, from pork soup dumplings and meaty/spicy dan dan noodles, to vegetarian soup dumplings with mock pork and crispy salt and pepper tofu. The mapo tofu is another highlight. They use the perfect amount of numbing Szechuan peppercorn without making it overpowering. Loved the soju cocktails as well. We will be back. read more

I went here for a Sunday dinner solo and got seated at the bar immediately. The bar is a pretty nice place to seat actually, since the lighting is great, but the dining room area is better in a group so that you could share the dishes. There is usually a waitlist on Yelp, but just show up since they don't really pay attention to the waitlist most of the time, and people just join remotely even though the restaurant is not full. I got the dan dan chili oil noodles and the mixed basket soup dumplings (7 pieces). All of this was more than enough for one person for a nice meal. The dan dan chili oil noodles came first and it had ground pork. The chili oil here is pretty solid, though a little bit more tangy than I would have expected. The noodles are thin angel hair like noodles, a bit different from the thicker noodles I would usually expect. I guess it is a bit of a fusion or modern take, but I wished the noodles were at least a bit more al dente as it was a little too soft. The mixed basket soup dumplings were great and well worth the $16. It used to be just 5 pieces for a few dollars less, so arguably, right now is better value. The increase of pieces is because they added 2 more types of XLB. The 7 served are the traditional ones, mala spicy, wagyu beef, truffle, vegan, and crab and pork. I loved the wagyu beef and truffle the most. If I go again, this would be my go to, unless I am with a group then I will order individual types as they are cheaper per piece. read more

We were in Seattle for a conference and wanted to celebrate our birthdays with yummy food. Found this little unassuming place and OMG!

Solid place to get Chinese food in Belltown. I like that they offer Hong Kong style roast duck. That can be hard to find outside of International District (ID). We also got the wontons in chili oil and salt and pepper tofu and those were good too. The restaurant looks new and clean. I like all the modern furniture paired with Chinese decorations. It gives the restaurant a modern feel but still maintaining a tie with Chinese culture. The service was good. The waiter boxed up our leftovers for us which I appreciated. I also like the takeout bag they give you to carry your food. It's a small, reusable bag so you can use it again later read more

Food - 5/5. Wow! Who would have imagined that I'd say this, but this restaurant is better than my favorite Din Thai Fung or Dough Zone. Everything was amazing! If I have to criticize their food, their wagyu filet steak was my least favorite since there wasn't much sweetness to the wagyu meat. But everything else was 5 stars! Service - 4/5. It was hard to get their attention but everyone was nice. Ambience - 3/5. It's a cozy looking Hong Kong bistro with a couch by the windows. You might not think much about the restaurant or might even get discouraged to try this restaurant since there are so many homeless people outside on the streets, but I highly recommend anyone to try this restaurant. I can't wait to come back here again! read more

The Mongolian beef, chicken fried rice, and soup dumplings were good, but I didn't like the kung pao tofu as much as the other dishes. Delivery was awesome. We didn't eat at the restaurant so I'm not sure how the ambiance was. Overall, we were happy with the experience. read more
