    It's funny how when I thought that Mustard Seed was a standalone Asian inspired restaurant in Missoula Montana, it impressed me a lot more than when I found out that it is a large chain with franchises. Regardless, I remember liking the MT location so well that I decided to stop into the Spokane location on a work trip. This one is not a standalone building but located in the mall. On this visit, I observed a few things that both locations share that I hadn't paid much attention to on my other visit. The staff is friendly and attentive. No issues there. The food was really good too but overall, I can't decide what the cuisine actually is. It's not traditional Chinese fare. More or less a new hybrid evolution of Chinese food. I was a bit disappointed with my Gyoza. The menu says Japanese style, but they came out with no crispy side whatsoever. I'm used to soft dumplings but they usually have a crust on one edge so that left me wanting. Another thing that I don't care for is the atmosphere of the place. It is a large mostly open space that just feels a bit cold. Sort of like a cafeteria. I hate to compare but given the choice between the two, I'd choose P.F. Chang's over Mustard Seed any day. They are very similar in a lot of ways, but the atmosphere is much warmer and inviting at Chang's. Overall, not a bad place for some pretty good food. I forgot that they serve family style and ended up with a lofty check for one. They definitely don't forget to charge. The pros and cons are about even with this restaurant but go and see for yourself. Cheers!

    Restaurant Week: Beijing Beef, incredibly tender!
    Ellen K.

    Restaurant Week!!! Wings were 4 very large meaty drums with (I chose) the Big Island sauce with ranch on the side. Incredibly delicious! Try with and without the ranch dressing - two totally different tastes! Chose the Beijing Beef for my entree. The best most tender pieces of lightly breaded bite sized cubes of beef with onions & red bell pepper, light sprinkling of peanuts. Unbelievably tender! But the crowning glory was the Asian Cannoli. OMG! I've had the real thing on a trip to the east coast at an authentic Italian bakery, but these blow those out of the water!!! Two large crispy stuffed cannolis with the most luscious mascarpone cream filling. Have never had anything like them, soooo good! My only suggestion would be to dip each end in a mixture of the nuts. You won't go wrong at The Mustard Seed!

    Empty wonton

    We ordered take out from mustard seed a month ago and were disappointed. It wasn't the same distinct flavor they had previously. They ran a special recently, buy one get one free. We decided to give them another chance. Everyone has an off night. This time we dined in. But, Unfortunately that was not the case. When you use pea pods they need to have the ends snapped off and the string removed. The sauces tasted like they came from a bottle. I ordered wontons. They were not correctly sealed, just folded over. So most of the filling leaked out. The only thing they had going for them was the service. needless to say we won't be back.

    Egg rolls, garlic green beans, gyoza, and wonton.

    My favorite place for Asian food in Spokane, hands down! I have long been a fan of the shrimp osaka, the Asian slaw, the fried noodles, garlic green beans, gyoza, egg rolls, and wontons. Those are all my favorite things, but honestly I've never had anything here that wasn't good. I definitely recommend!

The meat had very little flavor!, and the meat was tuff. It was stale.The sauce over powered the flavor of the meat. Lots and lots of sauce!! I'm sorry to be so blunt but, the kimchi was bad. There were 4 or 5 kinds. I've had good Korean food in California. -Not trying to be a snob-, but jeeez. You expect kimchi to be spicy...some flavor, at the very least. You call what I ate Bulgogi! I didn't know they made it with pork. So I tried it; mistake. I could have had a feast a Taco Bell for that price lol. Didn't give one star because the guy was really nice. I had to give this review "to be honest". You guys are a business. Each customer should be just important as the next. I may have gotten a bad meal. Maybe not all are like that. But I'm saying, you can't expect to serve "ready made meals" that have allegedly been sitting for hours in the pot. Then expect your customers to pay full price. When I pay restaurant prices, I expect for a restaurant to cook up the meal, not to be a fast food experience. I paid almost $25 for that meal and it was no more than a fast food entrée. And it was stale.

The food is made with incredibly authentic intention. They serve purple rice, and make all their own banchan. The banchan was so so good - the kimchi alone was the perfect spicy and fermented. Truly well done. I ordered the mackerel and the spicy tofu soup - extra spicy. The fish was IMMACULATE. Perfect sauce with onions and radish to accompany it and served over crunchy cabbage. This fish was a highlight of the entire meal. Spicy tofu soup is highly rated in my book and I am very particular with this soil and this place nailed it. Lastly I have to shout out the service. Such a wonderful service with Brandy and her brother in law Caden serving me up like I was in their living room. It felt so cozy and like home away from home eating here. Can't recommend this place enough. I wish I was staying in town longer so that I could go back again!!

    I was told to come to this restaurant by many different people and given that I enjoy Korean food…read moreand love Gimbap and noted that this is one of the few Korean restaurants that actually makes Gimbap (besides Korean stores), and seeing/knowing that many Korean people have endorsed this place as authentic, I decided to give this place a try. I came here on a weekend and there was quite a long wait, given how popular this place is. It took about 45 minutes to get my food. On first glace, it did not appear to be an authentic Korean food just looking at it from outside, but I would say that my opinion changed when I got my food. Ambiance-wise, it is lively and busy and there is not much to talk about in terms of the decor and what the inside of the restaurant looks like. I will have to say that parking is tricky given that both peripheral roads to this place are one-way, so getting in can be tricky unless you make long loops, so just be aware of that, especially on the weekend when there is not much parking in front of the restaurant. Service is friendly but a little bit slower I ordered a Beef Gimbap and a Beef Bulgogi which came out to around $45 before tipping. This place is definitely ridiculously overpriced in my opinion. Now on to the food, the best part! The Beef Gimbap was decent, but not the best I've had. It was peculiar getting purple rice, but I was not against it. It was just....different. As for the Beef Bulgogi, it was also pretty decent. It was not too sweet, and was seasoned and cooked well. The banchan was not the best I've had, but also was enjoyable. Overall, I would say this place is very similar to many authentic Korean places I have been to, and is a place I recommend visiting. However, I don't think this is among the top Korean places I have visited.

I picked this place for lunch because they're yelp reviews were high. It checked every bad box on the list other than the server was polite enough. Upon sitting down, I realized that I had probably ordered in the wrong place. The floor was dirty. Tables were dirty. There was a half empty 100 gallon fish tank with nothing but green slime in it. No music, dirty windows with dirty, handprints all over them Every single container of sauce on my table was caked with food and all the chrome napkin holders were filthy. When my meal came, my basil, was actually dead and black on half the leaf. I asked for More and they said they had no more for me. I was so grossed out halfway through. I couldn't finish my meal and the person I was with said that their stirfry was pretty bad. My pho soup had very little flavor? I have never had to add salt to pho. My $15 bowl of pho. It should've been top end for that price. I asked for tea and they actually brought me straight up dirty tea cups?! The waitress apologized and said the chef was gone on vacation, but did not offer any discount on the meal that I didn't even eat. Again, really sorry I had to write this. I hope they turn it around before they go out of business. NEXT DAY EDIT: Had to come back to add today (next morning) my stomach is awful?

So much so, it will be a decent snack later on tomorrow in the form of leftovers. The service is what I want to also comment on. The staff was very welcoming and the food came out fast. Please also note that their "spring roll" is what most people call a summer roll. Their deep fried spring roll is called an "egg roll" on their menu so make sure you know what you want and order accordingly. All in all, it was a great experience and we will come back again on our next visit.
