    N2. Spicy Braised Beef Noodle Soup / 香辣牛肉面
    Alyssa L.

    Visited this hole in the wall restaurant located in Great Wall plaza in Kent when my parents were in town a couple weeks ago. The restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall leading to ranch 99 (Asian supermarket). I've had this spot pinned on my Google Maps for the longest time but just never had the opportunity to make the drive there. This place was easy to miss if you don't look carefully so I'm glad I saw this recommended by a Seattle foodie I follow on instagram. We ordered the spicy braised beef noodles and steamed dumplings to share since we weren't that hungry. The braised beef noodles BLEW ME AWAY. The broth was so rich and savory, my mom commented that it tasted better than the one at din tai fung (we are frequent visitors & I agree) and the noodles were chewy (I love thick noodles!!). The dumplings were very juicy and flavorful but nothing too special. Service was prompt and servers were really friendly. There were so many other dishes on the menu featuring traditional Chinese dishes that looked delicious and so I do want to come back to try those when I am hungry! Definitely a hidden gem for good Asian food :)

    This place gets super busy after 6 PM it seems. It is such a homey experience. There are dumplings being made up front where everyone can see. We ordered the pork dumplings, spicy intestines, pig ears, and potato salad. The pork dumpling flavor was so robust and it was juicy. The spicy intestines were a bit limp which was not what I was expecting. The pig ears were standard. The potato salad was good to me but if you don't like vinegar it is not the dish for you. The beef pancake was the best dish with a flakey shell and flavorful center. Great spot for a quick and affordable bite

    Parking can be tricky if you are there during the weekend or busy hours. Plenty of seating, very friendly and attentive staff. Cute older woman was preparing dumplings at the counter behind the glass (you can also catch them rolling out and preparing noodles) Fresh, flavorful, delicious. A favorite of ours whenever we are craving soup dumplings or hand pulled noodles. Lots of options, everything we eat has been delicious.

    I don't like comparing restaurants with other restaurants so I'll stick to talking about the food. I had food delivered so I can't go about the service or ambiance of place. But according to deliverer he waited a while for the food. The pork xiao long bao was dry, hardly any soup. It was more affordable than other places, but not quite as good. So probably not going back. The beef soup with bok choy and handmade noodles arrived hot. Were ok, but the broth was a bit salty, and off pudding in taste. My daughter felt the same about it. The braised beef pancake rolls were good, but a bit soggy. And the deep fried buns were so dry I could barely chew it.

    This is always a 5 star experience for us. Friendly service and food is fantastic. Much better than Dough Zone, which had become too corporate. Handmade noodles are delicious here. Highly recommend!!

    Shrimp Wonton in Spicy Sichuan Sauce

    Located at the Great Wall Shopping Mall (south entrance), Mama Dough lives up to the hype! Definitely more affordable and accessible than Din Tai Fung in terms of Xiao Long Baos. It's a casual spot with many seats. My sister and I came here at lunch time on a Thursday, and there were a lot of people in there, which is always a good sign to me. My sister and I shared the Crab Xiao Long Bao, Spicy shrimp wontons, beef braised noodle soup, and the Tianjin Style Chive and Egg Pancakes. I really liked everything we ordered. The crab xiao long bao was nice and soupy; the crab flavor is subtle but nice. What got me was the little crab carrot in the baos. The absolute cutest thing and a nice touch! The pancake was delicious. Very herbaceous and savory, the pancake was crispy and chewy at all the right places. The wontons weren't super spicy, but the flavors were good, and the wonton itself was tasty. The top dish for me, though, was the beef braised noodle soup. The handmade noodles were bouncy and perfectly chewy. The beef is definitely the star of this dish, being so freakin tender and flavorful! The bok choy added that freshness and crunch that complemented the soup really well. From the tender meat, the chewy noodles, and the bok choy, this soup is my absolute favorite item here so far. I'd like to try the spicy version next time. The staff were super friendly. The food came out fairly quickly after ordering, and everything was so hot and fresh! I'll definitely be back as I'd like to try the other items they offer.

    Visited for lunch this afternoon with friends was nice to come with more people and try more items. We ordered the Green onion pancake, salt and pepper shrimp, chicken chowmein and spicy eggplant. My friend said the spicy eggplant is her new favorite eggplant dish. I really enjoyed their version of salt and pepper shrimp. Full shell head on so delicious. Lots of garlic. Clean and bright space. Service is always friendly and quick we arrived about 11am and were seated immediately and given hot tea as soon as we sat down. Definitely will be back

    Pork XLB
    Helene L.

    5 stars- I love the fact this place is super casual with home made quality XLB and Tawainese food. Food- 4 stars- homey, yummy! * loved the pig ear salad- flavorful. Not spicy, loved how thinly sliced it was. * Braised beef in onion pancake roll- beef was super tender, flavorful, cut into chunks, cold. The pancake was too oily for me, and hot! Overall enjoyed. * spicy wontons- was fine. Nothing exciting. * sautéed string beans were good- little oily and salty. Flavor was good * braised beef noodle soup had a lot of depth. Beef tender. Hand made noodles were the best! * pork XLB- good flavor, not as much soup, but still good. *golden fried buns- drizzled with condensed milk. Simple, hot and yummy! Ambiance- 3 stars. Service- 4 stars. Server was nice and kids loved all the kid friendly design bowls, utensil and cups. Food came out super fast. Location- Great Wall shopping center where 99Ranch is located. Plenty of parking. On the right side/arm of the mall. Value- very good. Recommend- YES!

    Chinese Sausage Chow Mien

    What the actual heck, this place is SO good. We stopped in here based on a GPS "on your route" recommendation that my daughter picked. What I found was my mother's food. The regional tastes here are so close to what I grew up eating at home that there has to be a connection. Don't sleep on the tomato egg drop soup, the braised pork belly, or their street cart style fried dumplings and pan fried Mama's pork baos. There are places in Asia where you might wait for an hour to get plates so good. The more common dishes like sweet and sour chicken are actually made the way we do at home, not puffed pastries, but a savory and hearty glazed dish the way it's supposed to be made. The chow mien is simple and flavorful, again, exactly how it is supposed to be. If I didn't know exactly where my mom was right now, I would go back into to kitchen to say hi.

    Sean H.

    Stopped by here after a long day of shopping and couldn't have been more satisfied! We were greeted with smiles and seated right away. The overall vibe was very clean and Asian lol. We ordered the xiaolongbao and some type of noodle soup that I forgot lol. They were both very delicious. And they came out quickly. Service was definitely top notch. We were checked up on regularly and the staff there were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back again.

    It was stale thick fried batter in super sugary sauce-it's lacking flavor

    The fried spicy eggplants looks so good but oh man it was not good! This is based on my order itself today because usually this place is really good Today my rating is 1/5 (hence I rated it 3 stars just because it can be a hit or miss) Spicy fried eggplants: Spice level 0/5 (I'm so confused, there is no spice at all) Taste: 0/5 it tasted like pure candied sugar, not savory no salt Batter: it was like thick fried chicken batter but it was so stale from all the sauce 0/5 Price: $15 for half container portion Overall I would not get this dish again

    Pan fried dumplings
    Lucy C.

    Crispy and very delicious. I also recommended this dish to a family member and he went to try the same thing on his way to pick up someone from the airport. It's about a 13 minute drive to SeaTac from Mama Dough's so if you need a place to eat on the way to the airport I highly recommend mama dough! Get the crispy pan fried dumplings! Just look at how good that looks

    Sauteed String Beans with Garlic
    Tatiana W.

    Great dumplings and selection of bigger plates. The service was so fast, and we got to see the staff make dim sum behind the counter. Service was fast and it was clean and bright inside. I loved the garlic string beans!

    I see some people saying they order to go, but I CANNOT get them to answer their phone. Any tips or tricks?

    Call blocked

    I am disabled-how FAR in to the mall is it to get to Mama's Dough? Great pain when I walk.. usually can only go about 20 steps before I must sit down. Is this restaurant "do- able" for me? (esp. if someone dropped me off in front?) What entrance?

    I would say it’s 2-3 restaurants in so right about your limit of steps. I always get my food to go and it’s amazing. Perhaps order on the phone and have someone run in to pick up for you? You won’t be disappointed. I hope this helps.

Vermicelli was a 3.5 as it was fresh and a good serving (4) but the grilled pork was on the cooler side and didn't taste as crisp and fresh off the grill as you'd expect (3). Best part of the pho was the broth as it wasn't too salty like it can be sometimes elsewhere (4). Veggies were super fresh. Sliced beef was previously sliced and the whole chunk was placed in so you had to tease apart the slices from each other which was a little different than my experiences elsewhere. SKIP THE SPRING ROLLS. Picture had three shrimps/roll. Ours had 1/roll on one side with a slice of pork (I think) on the other. Seemed pretty skimpy if you ask me (2.5 at best). Service was good (4). Location was in a small strip mall with a Mexican and Indian place next door. The bars over nearly the entire front storefront were definitely interesting. For an out-of-towner, this part of Kent seems like a Santa Ana/Westminister/Garden Grove of OC, CA kind of an area with different ethnic offerings up and down the street.

If you have a severe nut or seasame allergy, this place is not for you since they use all of the above. They do advise if you have an allergy to let them know. Its also noted that they use milk in their sous so be aware. They did add a tomato based soup, but there wasnt much details on if they still included the nuts and milk, so please confirm with the staff. I love spicy so I got it spicy, but to me it wasn't but to the rest of the crew, they were sweating. And the staff does advise not to get it if you cant do spicy. If you like pork, the crew got the sweet and sour pork. Its different from other spots since the pork is flattened out. And they said it has a nice crunch and taste. They do have drinks available for purchase from soda to asian teas thats to the right of the register. Service was good, the staff was friendly and nice!

Our server taught us how to prepare the dish, which is really nice especially for first timers. Their banchan was also good - kimchi and radish kimchi - which are both made in-house. Then our steamed dumplings came, and they were my personal favorite dish of the night. You can tell that they are handmade, and the sauce that went with it was delicious. Finally, the seafood tofu soup was pretty good. My partner loved it, but I think the octopus inside was overcooked. But, I understand that can happen especially since it's served in a hot stone pot. It also came with some clams, an egg, and some zucchini! Just from the layout and design of the restaurant, I could tell that it's an authentic place. The workers take pride in their food, and you can tell with each bite. Would highly recommend for those craving some good Korean dishes.

Walking inside, the interior feels inviting and thoughtfully designed, with a clean, modern aesthetic softened by warm lighting and natural tones. There's a noticeable balance between openness and coziness, and plenty of seating options--from small tables for solo diners to larger spaces for groups--making it easy to settle in without feeling crowded. The food itself leans heavily into comfort, starting with the Grilled Cheese, which delivers a surprisingly nostalgic bite. The crisp, buttery bread gives way to perfectly melted cheese, instantly reminiscent of childhood lunches. Paired with the Tomato Soup, the experience becomes even better--the soup's creamy, smooth texture complements the sandwich beautifully, creating that classic combination that feels both simple and deeply satisfying. Another standout was the Asiago Croissant Twist, which offered a flaky, airy texture with a subtle richness from the cheese. Each bite had a delicate crispness on the outside while remaining soft and layered within, making it an easy favorite for something lighter yet indulgent. The Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Sandwich was equally impressive, bringing together a balance of flavors and textures. The chicken salad was creamy without being heavy, while the cranberries added a gentle sweetness that contrasted nicely with the savory elements. The walnuts provided a slight crunch, rounding out each bite and giving the sandwich a more elevated feel. Overall, Panera Bread delivers a well-rounded experience--comfortable seating, a welcoming atmosphere, and food that manages to feel both familiar and thoughtfully prepared.

The dipping sauce was nice and I left no leftovers. The broth was extremely bland and felt watered down and had a strange taste to it. Overall, would come back again when craving this dish but may stick to ordering to go due to the limited parking.
