Authentic Hunan flavors without the overwhelming heat--such a fantastic find for anyone craving genuine regional Chinese food! The restaurant serves incredibly traditional Hunan dishes full of classic aromatics and seasoning. Since our group can't handle heavy spice, we requested mild spice level for all our orders, and the kitchen adjusted perfectly. Every dish still carried rich, signature Hunan umami without burning our tongues. My absolute must-orders: * Stinky tofu: Ultra crispy on the outside, juicy and bursting with savory broth inside with every bite. The texture contrast is unmatched. * Beef siu mai: Super thin wrappers wrapped around generous, tender beef filling. Each bite is packed with meat, no skimping at all. * Steamed sea bass: Incredibly fresh and tender, steamed to perfection with light soy sauce that brings out the fish's natural sweetness. We visited on a busy night and waited a really long time for our food to come out. To make up for the slow service, the staff generously gave us complimentary icy sweet jelly (bingfen), which was refreshing and balanced out all the savory dishes. It was such a thoughtful gesture that softened the wait frustration a lot. Service was friendly once the food arrived, portions are satisfying, and the authentic flavors keep us coming back. Just make sure to come early if you hate long waits! read more

Some pretty authentic Chinese food imo. Some might find it a little too exotic. The stir fry that come with a portable grill are all good. Seems like everything is prepared fresh, so it can take a little longer. It's on the 2nd floor near the center of Redmond Town Center. It can be lively in the evening. Prices for some dishes seemed a little high. Open, airy, and lively atmosphere inside. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Name was a bit interesting so we gave it a try. We arrived just a few minutes before lunch. We thought it was going to bit us, but biy was I wrong. It got busy pretty fast. All tables taken. People waiting by the door. The part I didn't like was the smell. But I got used to it. Service was pretty fast. I think they would like a fast. Portions are big. And I really thank our server mentioning this. However, we wanted to try other dishes. And we weren't wrong. Everything was pretty good! Fried rice, dumplings, gyoza, and thick noodles are just great. I am also glad they are rice based. Parking is no preblem as they are inside the mall. read more

Walked in around 8pm, they were about to closing, fortunately they were ok to take our orders. Scan barcode and order on your cell. Outdoor design is standing out, inside decoration has Chinese touch but hard to say which region cuisine it presents. Came here for chicken soup, unfortunately they ran out so they suggested the lotus root rib soup, it was ok in terms of flavor and its ingredients. The disappointed dish is the pork off ribs with fried egg, dry and plain. The eggplant dish is recommended, great flavor and great ingredient mixture. Family feels welcome here, Chinese food appetite place read more

I came here just to get some kimchi fried rice and I have to say, this is the best rice that i've had.So far in this area.

These are all delicious! And spicyyyy!! The spice is tolerable but it definitely kicks you a bit. The rice was good though that's not spicy at all. The food was ordered through a tablet and then brought to us after a bit. The interior had a lot of seating and was pretty big. We were the only table eating at around 1:30 p.m so it was empty. Overall, everything was good and delicious and yes, spicyyy! read more

Got recommended this place for good spicy Chinese food so we were super excited to try it. It is unfortunate though that the entire experience was just NOT very pleasant. The food was actually decent (a little salty but spicy food is usually on the saltier side) but the dining experience really killed vibes. For a table of 4, we got seated at a tiny table with dim lighting. When we asked to change to a slightly larger table, waitress 1 asked us how many dishes we plan on ordering. First time at the restaurant, haven't looked at the menu yet, sooo we had no idea.... a little rude of them to ask that questions imo but we said we didn't know yet. Waitress 1 said that they can move us to a larger table or put two small ones together if the dishes didn't fit and left. The first dish took up half the table so we asked again and another waitress hastily said that there's currently no medium tables, the large one are for parties of 6-8, and they can't put the smaller tables together (contrary to what the server 1 said). When we asked again after 2 out of 5 of our dishes covered basically all the space on our tiny table, server 3 reiterated what server 2 said and then said they'll put the rest of the food in smaller dishes for us so it will all fit (bro what???). At this point we were all super frustrated especially since they were also closing soon. The smaller plates were the tipping point and definitely completely unprofessional. This was such an unreal dining experience I couldn't focus on the food. The place was super dim so we couldn't really see the food either to be honest. We finished eating pretty hastily since seating was quite uncomfy and left....with no sighting of any large 6-8 people parties to fill their larger tables might I add. 7/10 food 0/10 service Definitely will not be dining there again. It's not worth it no matter how good the food is (food is just ok) read more

Solid restaurant in downtown Redmond, especially for spicy food! The restaurant is medium-sized at a convenient location with lots of parking at RTC garages. I arrived at peak-dinner time and the restaurant was fully packed with a few parties waiting to be seated. We waited 30min for a table after putting our name in the waitlist. Food: Yeung Chow Fried rice: was quite good Beef brisket stew with potato: it was delicious, was quite spicy but enjoyable The portion was decent for the price. At the end, we got free fried pumpkin taro ball dessert which was very yummy. Service: typical, had no complaint Atmosphere: not too loud, it is suitable for conversation with friends. The restaurant is nicely decorated. read more

Food - 4 stars : deliciously spicy and flavorful Service - 3 stars : service was prompt and courteous. Language could be a barrier Ambience - 4 stars : Just right. Not to formal ... not too casual. Kid friendly. The food was authentic in its taste. We ordered Egg fried rice, Boiled fish and drypot cauliflower. In my observation you can always tell how good an Asian place is by their simple egg fried rice. This place had well seasoned and soft rice with eggs. Not an easy task and my kids had seconds and finished all of it. I actually thought one of the red jalapeños in the boiled fish was a carrot and boy did I find it out . This dish was a new style of boiled fish than our usual sichuanese boiled fish - had raw peppers in addition to dry ones, fish slices has skin on and the gravy was thicker and had more than just chili oil. Overall I personally like the Hunanese Style of boiled fish better. Drypot cauliflower was just okay. Nothing to write a paragraph about. They could use a lil more improvement in service but given the good food and the appetizing ambience I would give this 4 stars. Definitely.coming back sometime. read more

Heard they have their chef back so I tried again. Their service is much better than before and their food has improved. The taste and flavor is authentic. The fish head is a little bit "old" or aged or overcooked, but the flavor is ok. Hunan cuisine is spicy and salty so prepare for it. Add noodle to steam fish! (30mins wait for steam) Free parking! read more

This cuisine clearly calls itself out as Hunan Cuisine - I like the Hunan and Szechuan style of cooking due to the liberal use of chillies (spice), garlic and shallots. I was super hungry as this was my first meal of the day and overall the service though a little abrupt was quick and acceptable. The food was in parts brilliant and in other parts below even average. We ordered the steamed fish with chili which was supposed to be spicy but wasn't really spicy only a weird kind of sour. The Drypot Cauliflower with chinese bacon was my favorite dish of the day and was actually liberally filled with sauteed chili that really gave the dish it's "oomph". The fried rice was a really nice foil to the drypot dish and honestly had ample seafood in it (shrimp and crab I think) Definitely a place I would go back again but I would avoid the fish. read more

Very similar to the (now, closed) Edmonds location. Very good quality Hunan-style food.

IMO there's better Szechuan cuisine in the area. - Braised Pork Belly w Pickled Mustard: way below average portion size. Meat was still quite tough. - Dry Pot Cauliflower: was delicious, but again, portion size was very small. - Sliced Beef in Golden Soup: i straight up did not like this dish, the meat had a weird flavor to it. Service was fine, nothing remarkable. Location and interior are great. read more

This restaurant was our go to place during COVID lockdown. However, we stopped going when quality degraded. We decided to give them another try (the one in Edmond has always been good). Glad we went. Their fish specialty dish is very nicely done (please do ask for less salt), tender, flavorful and good size. Their eggplant is not as well presented as the Edmond store, but still very tasty. Having ample parking is huge bonus for this store. read more

Food was good, the lady who took our order kindly reminding me that the tip was included when I checked. That was honest. However I have to mention the table service. After we checking out, the waitress started to collect our dishes and clean our table meanwhile two of my friends' young kids were still working on their foods. That was unprofessional and rude. read more

My partner and I had tried to go to the Edmonds location of Dong Ting Chun in the past and were met with a 2+ hour wait. Thankfully, this wasn't the case when we stopped by this location on a Wednesday night. I'm writing this review mostly to let people know that this location is doing dine-in but it's not at full service. What I mean by this is that instead of plates and such, they're serving food in takeout containers and bringing you water with paper cups. I don't mind, but just letting you all know as a heads-up. We ordered the mashed eggplant, cumin ribs, and dry-fried green beans. The mashed eggplants were definitely our favorite. I haven't had eggplant with century eggs before but it really works. If you aren't used to century eggs, I might advise you to steer clear from this dish. The cumin ribs were also quite good. I could've used more cumin, but still great. The dry-fried green beans had the texture and taste we're used to and love. So why 4 stars? It's pretty pricey for what you get! But the food was good, so no complaints here, really. read more

This is our first time coming to this location. I thought since the restaurant name is the same, different locations would have be same quality in food and service. However, I was very disappointed with my experience today. First, food quality at this location is not comparable to Dong Ting Chun at Edmonds. Food tastes way too salty, and presentation sucks. But this place does give you more food compared to elsewhere. So I would say it's a Quantity over quality location. Food alone here is an 3 star, but Dong TIng Chun at Edmonds is def a 4.5 stars! Secondly, I experienced the WORST service I'm ever had in my life! I had to get up and walk to the counter asking for napkins, despite the place wasn't busy at the time. This is fine. But later when we asked for the check and to-go box. The server came with a terrible attitude, (had no idea what's wrong with her). She packed the food unwillingly with her RBF, (even though we didn't ask her to pack) and smashed the empty plates with dirty spoons on the table, where the spoon flew over the table almost hitting me. We will NEVER come back to this location ever in our life. Do not recommend this location unless you want servers giving you an attitude for no reason . read more

PSA to anyone ordering from this restaurant. Do not, under any circumstances, order "Bone-in Chicken with Pickled Chili Dry Pot (Hot) 陈坛辣椒好味鸡(特辣)". You'll get a dish full of dangerously small bone fragments mixed in and attached to dry chicken. The bone fragments are so small that they're undetectable until you've actually bit into them, and a good part of the chicken meat seems to be from the neck (we love 白切雞 cold cut chicken and know the different parts of the whole chicken, and the neck isn't the best). If the meat was at least tasty it might be ok, but the tiny bone fragments are not ok. I'm a diehard bone-in chicken fan but these bones seem like the whole chicken went through a food processor. Last point, this dish says extra spicy but it's mild at best. read more

I've been to Dong Ting Chun located at Edmonds but that place is way too far from my home thus I was very excited after learning they are opening up another store in Redmond. The food in their Edmonds location was very good so I came with high expectations. They did not disappoint us with the quality of their food. I saw most people there ordered the fish dish that came in a large flat pan but we decided to order two smaller and probably less popular dishes instead. Both dishes we ordered were very spicy as we expected and wanted. Their food is on the more expensive side. Most of their main dishes were in the high teens range, usually between $16 and $19. Whether they worth that much is up to you to decide. Even though they've opened for a few months already, their staff were still not very familiar with their routines. When we sat down, we had no menu to order our food. We asked for menu and was told that another two large tables asked for many menus and they ran out. I've never seen a restaurant run out of menu before. Large tables usually have multiple copies which I can understand. But they shouldn't be given one menu per person. I still give them 4 star because their food quality. Due to the lack of good Chinese restaurants on east side, I see myself visiting them more in the future though I would probably wait for a few more months before coming again so that their staff will become better trained when I visit next time. read more

Really good chinese food. More authentic than anywhere I've found. If you don't like meat or non-spicy foods, Dong Ting Chun offers few choices. For the rest of us, every dish is a delight. If you only want run of the mill Americanized-chinese take away, just stay at the Panda Express. If you want your normal chinese restaurant favor, stay with your family favorite. If you want something good and authentic, I recommend this place. Lamb with cumin is my favorite dish and reminds me of the food I ate while living in Mongolia. Only complain was my ordering and pick up experience. I lived in Mongolia and not China so I can't read Chinese. The ordering system has some english but I was ordering from the pictures (some of the best looking pictures). When I got there, they had tables for ChowBus, Ubereats, and online orders. Each order had a different ticket design but all in Chinese and no one there to help you find your order. read more

Had take-out here and it was amazing. Maybe the best Chinese food I've had outside of Asia.

Food is overpriced and some of the dishes are really small. The place is not bad, but some of the dishes can be very spicy, which I am not a big fan of. Waitress was unhappy when we only ordered 5 dishes when we have 7 people, but they are all old ladies lol and one infant. The total of the 5 dishes were like $150 which is kind of insane. Tables were kinda crowded and no hot tea was served. Only ice water from a dirty bottle. read more

The place is gone into full delivery mode. There's no point in dining in. Everything is served in plastic take away containers and you eat off paper plates and disposable chopsticks. Half of the restaurant is just storage. The food is not fresh. We ordered the eggplant dish with century eggs, hand torn chicken, beef and fried eggs, and sour and spicy potatoes. The meat was all very dry. The food came out so quickly it is almost impossible that all the components were cooked to order. My guess is that they have a lot of meat that is preseasoned and marinaded which is why the meat tastes so salty. The dishes are not even that spicy. Certainly not authentic. They're not really enforcing social distancing. Another table sat down right next to us for no reason in an otherwise empty restaurant and they didn't really say anything to them. The service was at least decent. However, the quality of the food at these prices were unforgivable. About $120 for 5 dishes including tax and tip. read more
