Located in the food court of the Seattle Premium Outlets. Pre-made Ford to order. Had the orange chicken and vegetables. Food is decent, service is great. Cafeteria style seating, with lots of tables.

Ok food, ok service, not friendly and inviting. Decent prices just very hungry and want something quick!

Let's talk about dreadfully bad Chinese food. Did your mind immediately think of Panda Express? Because that's the first thing I would have thought of until my unfortunate visit to Famous Wok today. Famous for what? Being the worst of its kind? I don't even think Mao Zedong would have liked this restaurant associated with him. This restaurant will make you forever curse the day you were born. My parents ate food from here once and now they would rather go to McDonald's than this place. This isn't just the bottom of the bottom. This is below the bottom of the bottom. I came here for the Chinese food and--I'll admit it--out of curiosity as well. The mall's food court only has five restaurants, and none of them are appealing. Picking one for lunch was like playing Russian roulette, except I clearly lost. I was really hungry and could have eaten a lot, so I picked their largest combo with fried rice, mixed vegetables, sesame chicken, and bourbon chicken. Out of those four items, at least one of them had to be good, right? Except it was Russian roulette again, and I lost. AGAIN. Everything inside this tacky styrofoam box was a complete disaster. First of all, the fried rice was greasy yet tasteless. The mixed vegetables were horrible, and the chicken was some of the most disgusting I've seen in my life. I don't even know how it's possible to mess up chicken. Go to any supermarket and buy the chicken there. Even without any alterations, that chicken is probably delicious in its original form. So it's a mystery to me why and how this chicken came to be in such a soggy state. The bourbon chicken was already torture for my taste buds, but the sesame chicken was virtually inedible. It fell apart when I picked at it. I'm not even sure it was chicken, but I am sure that it will look the same when I see it again in the toilet. This whole combo was so repulsive that I had to throw it away before finishing everything, which I almost never do. I feel cheated. To make things even more absurd, this combo was $12.99 when swallowing just a single bite of it proved to be a challenge. I really do not appreciate the store's dishonesty. They proclaim that their food is authentic and imply that it's good; both could not be further from the truth. And they accept Canadian currency but at 80% of its value in American dollars when one Canadian dollar is worth 92 U.S. cents. Disrespecting and lying to your customers is one thing, but stealing from them is outright immoral. Close this place down and let children run a lemonade stand here instead. It would be an improvement.

Avoid

Panda Express would put this place out of business. The BBQ chicken was dry and the thin noodles were soggy. The meal and service was sub par. The cashier refused to provide an additional water cup. Do not be deceived by the long line, it's not worth it. $12 for the combo A, combo B (orange/ BBQ chicken, veggies, fried rice/ noodles). Save yourself a disappointing meal. Never again.

Plentiful and very meh

I was craving some westernized food court Chinese food (where expectations are pretty low tbh) and stumbled upon Famous Wok in this mood. Even with this in mind, the food quality was surprisingly dissatisfactory. Noodles tasted ultra bland and were undercooked, vegetables were not actually cut apart, sweet and sour pork was very soggy / tasteless, and food wasn't that hot. I think I paid about $11 for this, what a silly price to pay! As with any food I eat in the US though, the portion size was kind of ridiculous and could've fed me for 2-3 meals, so it did keep me nourished (ish?) trough the evening and night so that's a plus. Will probably go with subway next time passing through here.

Food ok, over price. Not really friendly, just want something to eat quick. It's in the outlet mall

1 side combo and a drink $12+
Lee A.

This place is terrible. Overpriced and the food tasted awful! Do yourself a favor and DO NOT waste your money here!

Bourbon chicken and vegetables

Horrible food. Ordered combo B which turned out to be $10.99. With 2 drinks this came to over $17. Combo was vegetables (broccoli and cabbage) with bourbon chicken. Chicken was hard, dry and chewy. Flavor was just soy sauce. Fried rice was not great either. For that price I expected better. There are other food kiosks in the food court I should have gone to instead.

Nasty bourbon chicken

Stopped in for a bite to eat and was welcomed by a friendly and kind bar staff and hostess…read more I couldn't decide on what to eat but I was pretty famished so the bartender recommended the Mongolian beef. It came quick and the beef had the perfect crisp and the vegetables were plenty. It was a fantastic meal paired by a respectable drink selection. Bar has a huge tv with sports on and the vibe is part touristy but also part locals hangout. Certainly glad I came by. I will be back next time I am in town!

Atmosphere & location 5 star! Food 2 star…read more Summary: do not come here. I went here with my uncle and extended family to celebrate my cousin graduating nursing school. Parking is quite challenging. I entered the restaurant and was confused because there's a big sign outside that says "fisherman jacks" but it bridges two building and there's like an odd walkway and the only real entrance was this Chinese restaurant with Chinese characters on the door. You walk in and nothing says fisherman jacks. The signs, the menus, the host area. Anyways it is the place. The resultant is really nice looking and it's right on the water and it was like a nice hot day with baby blue sky and the restaurant fully opens up so we're indoor but it's kinda like outdoor patio seating. So I was really impressed at how nice this restaurant was. I used the bathroom and it was kinda sub par with only 2 stalls and 1 sink but whatever it worked. I ordered an espresso martini and a water since I had arrived last and wasn't sure who's water was who's. They never brought me a water. The martini was really good. We order family style and my uncle orders us a feast with like 6 appetizers and like 10 entrees. But the food was totally lack luster. It was at the bare minimum level of acceptable. Every item was like this. I was totally shocked. I couldn't help but be totally disappointed and I was trying to remind myself to be grateful because I'm at a family event and it's a beautiful day and I have a meal that is being provided for me and I made the best of it. But seriously I cannot stress this enough; The flavor was slightly worse and more dull than Panda Express and the quality of the food was on par with Panda Express. I know my uncle paid an insane price for this dinner and I appreciate it and had fun but I can't quite shake the feeling that this place charges top tier pricing for Panda Express level of food. I don't recommend it and I won't be coming back.

We ate family style at the Arlington Farmer's Market & Car Show yesterday, trying almost everything on their menu. Their food truck stands out with its decorative art exhibiting exactly what they stand for: fusion cuisine that's both different and fun! After ~20 years with an Ilocano family always around traditional Filipino and Hawaiian foods, Fil Up is an extremely nice detour from the traditional Filipino dishes into a mouth-watering binge of flavor that we didn't expect, didn't know we needed, and now will continue following. The Pork Belly Sliders have a perfect balance of spice to flavor that made us want more until we tried the Sisig Tacos, which are easily our favorite with the right amount of crunch (without being overdone). It's difficult for most people to enjoy Sisig, but even my non-Asian friends loved these and we ended up getting two more orders of them to share between us. This food truck obviously knows how to take traditional Filipino dishes that many people would not like and create something that everyone will enjoy! Being an adobo traditionalist that's very picky with the flavor, I have tried many people's adobo over the past 2 decades and found that I typically only like mom's. So, when my friends ordered the chicken adobo plate, I wasn't planning on having any. When they liked it, I tried one bite and was shocked, then tried again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It was slightly different than mom's, then my eyes widened as a thought crossed my mind: I actually really enjoy someone else's adobo! The Mac Salad is tied for 2nd with Volcano Grille's (both behind Zippy's; sorry, just can't beat Zippy's mac salad and no one's changing my mind). The lumpia is what I came up calling Shanghai since it's the smaller variety. The chef must put a lot of love into these because each and every one is uniform, tight, and filled with delicious flavor. I like that they serve the sweet chili sauce on the side for the extra balance, not needed but a good addition every few rolls. We also tried their Ma Loko Moco, a tribute to the Hawaiian favorite. The best part: they drown it in gravy! Mo' sauce, mo' betta! This is another good flavor twist, but come hungry if you want to try more than just this plate because it's filling. Last, but certainly not least, their mango sago was AMAZING, especially because it was so hot outside. Sorry (not sorry) no picture because it was so hot we each devoured our dessert. In short, it was refreshing and very yummy...a must buy! Overall, this food truck really surprised us, provided us with something different, something fun, and did it all with a pleasant smile even on a scorching summer day. We will find them again!

I recently tried this food as it was the catering food from my job. I am not the most familiar with…read morePhilippine food, but I will say this what quite delicious. I went with the Sissy tacos because in my mind, I can never go wrong with tacos. Would most likely visit again if I see them.

Botan Ramen n' Bar was a very nice Ramen experience for this novice in Ramen…read more In walking in, you're greeted by a stunning cherry blossom tree and flowers filling the interior. Adding to the outdoor ambiance inside, we were seated in a 'shaded porch' area, which still had plenty of room (such partitioning could reduce interior space). We were promptly greeted by the staff, who interestingly that day were not of Asian descent as typically found in Far East themed restaurants: more like your average Seattleite college-age server. I like that they bucked the stereotypes. As a ramen newbie, I was overwhelmed by the expert-level menu, the main reason I didn't give 5 stars. The menu starts with alcohol, leading me to look around for the food menu. There it is, tucked after several pages of booze and virgin drinks. The food section starts with the 'Botan Deluxe' (don't recall the actual name used) and lists the components using words that I as a newbie have either never seen before or maybe have seen but not understood, so my anxiety level spiked because I don't like being shamed into just ordering without understanding. Fortunately the waitress worked through this with me after my telling her my issue. The following page had a 'build your own ramen' blocked off into sections: noodles, broth, extras. With the extras, you get like 3 or 4 included (green onions, egg. garlic-something, seaweed, etc.) and more cost $1 extra (not printed on menu). I did the udon noodles, bone broth (insert fancy name but not with the fancy-name soy sauce added), and one extra ingredient over the included number. When asked 'tell me more about the green noodle?', the relatively new employee was unable to immediately describe, but went back and learned it was spinach blended. We also ordered a (fancy name) cucumber salad starter: yummy, sizable and recommended. The orders arrived promptly, with just a small break after the starter; the egg I ordered was replaced by bean sprouts: the served quickly and gracefully delivered the missing egg. Each ordered ingredient was placed as an individual island: it's up to the customer to blend or not (I enjoyed not mixing so to experience each flavor). The udon noodle was exactly as I had imagined and desired. My wife said she enjoyed her selection as well, although didn't pick out any unique flavor to the green noodle. The bill was right-priced if not even on the lower side for the neighborhood. We'll be back again to try more of the offerings now that we have a little bit of familiarity with the exotic descriptions.
