We had crab rangoons to start which were amazing. Then we ordered orange chicken, general Tso's chicken and steak fried rice. Some of the best orange chicken and general Tso's i have ever eaten! The steak fried rice wasn't the greatest but this is not a steak house. The portions are pretty generous and can easily be split with two people. Our waitress kept our drinks filled without having to ask. Our food came exceptionally fast. We had dessert as well. The cloud passion fruit cheesecake. It was incredible and light and unique, overall really good! I enjoyed it. If i'm ever back in town, i will definitely be looking to come back!

The addition of apples was delicious too. Great crisp honey walnuts. However, there was way too much mayo. The mayo pool at the bottom of the dish really detracted from the other great components.

I had high hopes after seeing the positive reviews, but my experience was disappointing…read more I ordered the combo pho and salt and pepper pepper wings, while my friend had the brisket pho. We were told they were out of tendon, which was fine, but the service was extremely slow. Our waiter spent much of the time going in and out of the restaurant, leaving customers waiting. The pho arrived without toppings or water. After asking, I eventually received water and toppings, but only bean sprouts and lime--no Thai basil or jalapeños. By then, my noodles were already getting bloated. I was told they were out of Thai basil and it goes bad easily, but it's an essential pho topping that adds important flavor. The wings arrived much later and were very plain, lacking the savory, garlicky, peppery seasoning expected from salt and pepper wings. Overall, the restaurant was very quiet and underwhelming. Between the slow service, missing pho toppings, bland wings, and high prices, the meal was not worth the cost. I wouldn't be in a rush to return.

Ooohh, now THIS is a slightly rare treat. Cuisine specifically from Xinjiang province in…read morenorthwestern China. Specializing in lamb, xinjiang naan, and more with a healthy amount of, of course, cumin. Lamb skewers - Glorious meaty flavor, with that very slightly gamey lamb taste and a lot of seasoning. Lamb stir fry - Delicious. I particularly love the lamb chunks that have a bit of fat or tendon on them. I also love the potato in this. Hand pulled wide noodles - These are on-point, especially after the sad and soft ones at Dough Zone. So much texture and the amount of umami they soak up from the juices of the stir fry is brain melting. Naan - They're definitely good, but these are.....sooooooooo dense and filling. As an analogy, if bread -- bagel, then Indian curry naan -- this naan. Honestly, these aren't my favorite, but I can't fault the taste or quality at all. Soup - Oh yeah, this was also perfect with the bread. At a glance, it reminds me a bit of pho broth, but you'll forget once the lamb flavor in it hits like a truck.

Visiting Washington and was recommended to try Ta Joia, and so far it's one of my favorite places…read moreI've eaten! First off, the ambiance was warm and welcoming. The establishment is family owned and I could tell that the owners are very involved and interactive with customers. Service was good, you stand to order and pay at the front then grab a number and sit at any open table. They also have takeout as an option. This was my first time having real teriyaki chicken and it did not disappoint! I got the spicy crispy combo with pico and rice (chicken katsu and spicy teriyaki chicken). Lots of food for a good price! I would rate my meal a 10/10! I have nothing bad to say about it and I think it's perfect just the way it is. If you need a quick hearty meal with veggies and protein, this Ta Joia is the place to go!

They helped me decide and recommended the spicy chicken with coriander sauce, which I grabbed to go. The chicken itself was super tender and juicy, but it leaned a bit dry, so I'd 100% suggest getting for extra coriander sauce and pico to make it saucier. I'll definitely be getting this again! This spot might become my new go to.

I try to check out new restaurants every time I visit Seattle. Some make the list from…read morerecommendations, some from Yelp reviews, and some from TikTok. This time, I checked out Chan Seattle, and baby, they left NOTHING on the table. I enjoyed my entire experience from start to finish. When I arrived, there was a sign asking guests to wait for the hostess to be seated. I stood there for about 2-3 minutes, but no one ever came to the hostess stand, so eventually I just seated myself at the bar. ‍ Not a huge deal, but definitely worth noting. Chan is located inside a hotel, and the restaurant itself is pretty spacious. The actual bar only seats about three people, but there's also open-kitchen counter seating with maybe 8-10 seats. I grabbed a seat at the bar with my book, although I mainly ended up listening to a podcast while I ate. Perfect little solo dinner vibe. One thing that made me laugh: the restroom is part of the hotel, so Chan staff actually have to give you a key to access it. Top-flight security over there! Now, THE FOOD. I started with a glass of cava from the happy hour menu and the tuna tartare, topped with avocado, radish, and sunchoke. Both were $10 each. For my meal, I ordered the roasted cauliflower from the happy hour menu for $10 and the small portion of Alaskan black cod from the protein menu. Everything was absolutely delicious, but that tuna tartare?! That was the star of the evening. Fresh, flavorful, and easily the dish I'd order again without even looking at the menu. The service was wonderful too. The bartender seemed a little stiff and rigid when I first sat down, but he eventually warmed up and I got to see his kind and friendly side. He was attentive and offered recommendations, which I always appreciate when I'm trying somewhere for the first time. The regular menu prices are definitely on the higher side, but Chan has $$$ on Yelp, so you know what you're signing up for. That said, the happy hour specials are GREAT and make it easy to try several dishes without running the bill all the way up. Between the food, service, atmosphere, and happy hour, Chan Seattle is absolutely a must-try. I'll definitely be back on a future Seattle visit, and the tuna tartare already has a spot on my repeat-order list!

I've heard about this place for awhile, and finally was in the area to try it. On a weekday…read moreevening, it was quite empty. We were greeted and sat immediately. Service was super friendly and quick. My friend and I shared the pork sliders, brussel sprouts, beef cheek ragu rice cakes, wagyu ssam, and the ginger crème brulee. Everything was so surprisingly yummy. Pork sliders were juicy, flavorful, nice fluffy bun. Good proportion of bun to filling. Brussel sprouts at first were your average well made sprouts, but when we reached the bottom of the dish where the sweet potato puree was, it changed the entire flavor profile of the dish! So good. Maybe better served in a wider bowl so we could appreciate the puree sooner haha Beef cheek ragu was super good too. Flavorful rich sauce and I loved that the rice cakes were extra thick and charred on the outside. Made for the perfect texture: lightly crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Wagyu ssam was great too. Not as standout as the other dishes, but solid steak pieces that were perfectly tender. I think my favorite has to be the ginger crème brûlée. The ginger flavor is light, and the hardened sugar on top tastes like crystallized ginger candy when chewed. The doenjang caramel drizzle balances it out as well. Overall, a fantastic meal. It's definitely on the pricier side, and all the dishes could use a bit less salt, but I will definitely be thinking about that crème brûlée for a long time

I will say the photographer created a bit of an uncomfortable experience as she came off a bit pushy and did not explain what the photos were for. She ended up coming back and wanting us to pose differently and retake them. We politely told her we weren't interested and she proceeded to come by and show us a printed photo of ours to sell. When we said no thanks, she continued to press and tell us to just take a photo of the photo with our phone lol. Besides the photographer, the food was pretty good. I ordered a khao soi, and it was my first time trying the dish. I am not sure I would come back, but it was a nice dining experience besides the photographer and the food was good.

We came off a flight at Sea-Tac hoping to find something to satisfy everyone before the long drive home: The eye round and flank beef pho definitely hit the mark. Broth was more simple than some phos I've had before, but it had a very satisfying and fresh flavor and the beef quality was good. My husband ordered the mixed beef, and not having had tripe before wasn't a fan, but still enjoyed the other meats in the dish and overall flavor. Egg rolls were excellent and the fried rice was a favorite for my 10 year old. My 12 year old sampled and loved every dish equally. The owner was exceptional and waited on us like a one-man show he was warm and friendly us and our kids. The wait wasn't long, but he surprised our kids with chocolate after dinner for waiting patiently and smiled and joked with everyone in the restaurant and he moved around the restaurant. The restaurant itself isn't anything too exception in terms of looks or presentation, but the food and family feeling to it has definitely earned the respect of locals getting take out. We'll add it to the list of great places to stop.
