The soup was barely spicy, yet had a good flavor and consistency. The broccoli beef was full of perfectly cooked vegetables and nice tender beef, flavored with a nice sauce. The Ma po tofu was also good, with a slightly spicy sauce. To me, the chicken curry was way too salty. The lamb dish tasted gamey and I didn't care for the flavor of the sauce as well. The restaurant is small and very casual, sweat pants are ok. Parking is on street, wherever you can find it. Service was good. Food came out in stages, which worked really well.

First thing I noticed when I looked at the menu was that the prices are very LA, but before you let that deter you, hear me out: the portion sizes are significantly larger than what you'd get for the same price back home. So in terms of value, you're actually getting a much better deal out here in Redmond. One thing that genuinely caught me off guard; they let me bring my puppy. If you're from LA or the 626, you already know that's basically unheard of. Redmond, Washington is on a whole different level when it comes to being pet friendly, and I loved every second of it. As for the food, it was great overall. The mala wasn't too numbing, which I appreciated, it had just enough kick without overwhelming everything else. The garlic a-choy was perfect, honestly no notes. The braised pork belly was good but I wished it was a touch softer, and I personally felt like my dishes could've used a little more salt or soy sauce, but that's an easy fix and purely personal preference. Would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

I love all the dishes I ordered:…read more Must-order tea leaf prawns! Crispy whole shrimp with edible shells, fragrant crunchy tea leaves mixed in, lightly seasoned with scallion and chili. Sweet juicy shrimp meat paired with unique roasted tea scent, super flavorful and crunchy all around. A rustic Cantonese wok stir-fry: Sautéed Streaky Pork with Lyophyllum (Deer Antler Mushrooms). Lean-and-fat marbled pork is wok-fried to render aromatic lard, developing subtle caramelized sweetness. Dried deer antler mushrooms absorb meat gravy to deliver a distinctive springy, woody chewiness unique to this wild fungi. Whole garlic, spring onion and fresh red pepper introduce bright herbal and peppery accents, while restrained dark soy glaze unifies all components into a deeply umami-forward savory masterpiece, ideal pairing for plain steamed rice. Garlic stir-fried you mai cai is fresh and crisp! Savory garlic aroma, natural sweet vegetable taste, a healthy light side dish to go with rice and meat.

We each ordered a bowl of noodles along with some popcorn chicken. After about 10 minutes my daughter's and my noodles were brought out, no sign of my wife's noodles or the chicken. About 10 minutes later we flagged down the waiter who told us they were being worked on. Another 10 minutes went by and we were told the same thing. A bit more than 5 minutes later my wife just said forget it, so I told the waiter to cancel the rest of the order. Totally ridiculous! It wasn't even that busy so I have no idea why after nearly 40 minutes we still didn't have half our order. As far as my, and my daughter's, noodles were concerned, they were good but nothing special. Nothing I would come back for, especially given the far better options in the neighborhood.

Excited to find a new Taiwanese spot!…read more We came on a Saturday afternoon, it was not too crowded and we were seated quickly. The ordering system uses ChowBus on tablets so easy to see pictures of items on the menu, we got a mix of veggies, meat, soup and rice. Taiwanese food wise this was pretty good, not the best but hits the mark for most dishes. My favorite part was the ability to adjust to less oil and less salt on all the stir fry dishes, this was the best and my sensitive tastebuds appreciated the less salty version! My favorite was the stir fried "Kong xin cai" it was cooked very well with the crunch and roasted flavor that I'd expect in Asia too. The name also had chicken soup in the Chinese characters, it was authentic and well cooked. I'll be back if I'm in the area to try other dishes and give a better assessment too :)

I hate giving negative reviews, but our dining experience at Lee's Kitchen is still making me laugh…read more- and not for good reasons. My friend and I decided to check out Lee's Kitchen when we got off the Overlake Station on the 2 Line, and I kid you not, we waited over an hour for our food. Lee's Kitchen is located in a business strip close to Microsoft, walking distance from the Overlake Station. There are plenty of places to eat around here and you should eat at those places if you're on a lunch break and need to get back to work because Lee's Kitchen is really on their own schedule. No shits given. We visited on a Wednesday afternoon around lunch time and were the only ones dining in for most of the time we were here. Most of the tables had not been cleared, so they must've had a rush of people before we visited. There's a QR code at the table where you can order and pay for your food. I ordered the braised pork belly with rice and shared the rice noodle roll with shrimp and beef with my friend. He ordered the wonton noodle soup, which took over an hour to get. My meal came out first and then eventually the rice noodle roll dish came. And then half an hour later after sitting there, the server comes by and tells my friend they ran out of bamboo noodles, which is what he requested for his dish. Over half an hour later, he received his food. Was it worth the wait? No. Sadly, I can't recommend Lee's Kitchen especially with how many more fantastic Chinese restaurants there are nearby. Service is lackluster with food that does not impress or would have me visit again. Not for me and it shouldn't be for anyone on a schedule.

Order via QR code at the table and pay there, or I think you can order at the front counter. They bring the food to your table. Self serve water, cutlery and small bowls. Menu is mainly noodles and rice. They have dishes from different Chinese cuisines, but are more known for Hunan-style. My friend from Hunan recommended I get the beef combo rice noodle soup. I got the default wide noodles, but you can pick the thinner round noodles. Came out pretty quickly after ordering. Decent sized bowl, with a variety of beef offal pieces like tripe, tendon, maybe even intestine along with some meat pieces. Also has daikon and bok choy. The soup is slightly spicy and peppery, but not overly so. Nice savory flavor. Price was $20+ with tax and tip. Solid place for a quick bowl of noodles or rice.

Authentic Hunan flavors without the overwhelming heat--such a fantastic find for anyone craving…read moregenuine 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!

It is always clean, service is warm and friendly, and food is authentic as it can get on the eastside. They did flip flop a bit with their menu for a while, it seemed they were trying to figure out who they were catering to, and the menu unfortunately did become more American patrons oriented at the cost of eliminating hard-to-find authentic recipes they used to have. I hope they stay true to making their own broth and using quality ingredients!

One of my close friends recommended Bon Korean Cuisine and so I came here with a couple of friends…read morefor lunch the other day. Bon is located in the same plaza as H-Mart and so they have a shared parking lot or you could walk over from Redmond Town Center which is just a block away. The inside is surprisingly large with at least twenty tables, which is bigger than most Korean restaurants that I've seen on the Eastside. At 11:45am on a Saturday, my group of three had no problem getting a table. Their menu is extensive and has all the Korean food classics including seafood pancake, soondubu (stone pot tofu soup), galbi jjim (beef stew), Toppokki, bibimbap, and cold noodles (spicy and non-spicy versions). Their entrees are around $20 each, but some larger hot pot dishes (meant for 2-3 people) can be up to $70. I ordered the BULGOGI BIBIMBAP (~$24). Unfortunately they don't serve stone pot Bibimbap here, but the portions are large and beautifully presented. My dish came with plenty of fresh vegetables- pickled carrots and cucumbers, sesame bean sprouts, daikon kimchi, lettuce, and marinated black mushrooms (which I've never had in Bibimbap before but was soooo good) on top a bed of fluffy white rice! The egg was cooked perfectly over easy and the meat was marinated well too- I do wish the dish came with more meat though. They give you your typical sweet and spicy gochujang red sauce on the side as well as white vinegar and mustard sauce for added flavor. Service was fantastic and you get complimentary hot tea and ban chan (which are refillable). The ban chan included cucumber kimchi, daikon kimchi, sesame bean sprouts, kimchi, fish cake, and sesame choy. All employees were very friendly and made you feel at home. The inside is clean, but the only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is that they have an Okay health rating and not a Good or Excellent health rating. I didn't look up the exact violations, but it would be great to see an improvement in score. Overall: 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere
