The service was nice quick and friendly and you order off an iPad, there was lots of options and had a fun time deciding. Overall the food was good, I really really liked the green bean, so salty and flavorful and yummy. I felt like the pork dish was a bit too saucy and didn't really taste Szechuan to me and while it was good it wasn't what I expected and I didn't love it but it was tasty. Maybe we ordered badly or something but bc the green beans were so good I'd give it the benefit of the doubt and give it a 4 this time.

Bit of a late review, but swung by Jiang Nan for Seattle Restaurant Week with a same day…read morereservation at 6:30 PM. The Bravern does have its own underground lot that the restaurant will validate parking for and I'd say you can definitely walk in on a weekday no problem. The restaurant did seem extremely short staffed with service being extremely slow. We ended up taking more than 2 hours for dinner just because the amount of time it took to place our orders and wait for our food. Overall, the menu is a mix of American style Chinese food and some more traditional dishes. Most of the dishes were made well advance, but you can really tell. The Peking duck was insanely dry and the braised pork belly also wasn't braised quite long enough. The sweet and sour chicken wasn't super crunchy, but the flavor was solid; though I will say, the blueberries were just warmed blueberries on the plate and didn't add anything. The mushroom truffle fried rice was pretty delicious though as was the complimentary soup with the restaurant week set. TLDR food is a bit expensive with some standouts, but generally slightly subpar. Service is insanely slow.

The food was pretty good, a lot of flour to meat ratio in my salt and pepper chicken and lots of onions too. The flavor was excellent though. The hot beef chow mein was real excellent and the combo friend rice was okay. The deep cooked potato has good flavor, to me was undercooked and I am not sure if that's how the dish was supposed to be. The place was clean but the tables were a bit sticky, not to bad just a bit. I have come here a handful of times now, but only for to-go. This was my first time dining in. I have had other dishes to go and so far I have enjoyed them all.

Do not go here for lunch unless you have a lot of time!!…read more It's packed with the tech core bunch getting group lunches. The last two times I've come here for lunch there were many tables empty being saved for groups and no seats were available for some time. Today was standing in line behind another small group for a long time with people stacking up out the door. Almost half the table space was empty and then people just start coming in past us and sitting down. They had saved space for 30 people!! I told others in line where to get just as good Szechuan food nearby and some of us left. They make ok food usually but not good enough to wade through these groups that monopolize this place at lunch leaving smaller groups waiting.

I came in with about 45 min before we had to be somewhere else which is usually a decent amount of time. It was a little busy so it took about 20 minutes before we were seated and my boyfriend's bowl came out. I noticed that my number was called but when we went up my bowl was not there. We asked the guy in the window if it was there or just a mistake and he said he had put it out and asked to see our receipt with the bowl number. He looked at our receipt and then went around the entire restaurant and found my bowl and the person who took it! (It was an accident, still frustrating). He told us that I could remake my bowl at no extra cost, but by that point we didn't have enough time to wait for it to cook and eat. They refunded us and brought over an extra side of oranges and gave us three drinks for free, which is extremely generous considering it was not their fault at all. I was bummed by not getting my meal but very grateful that they cared enough about my experience that they wanted to make up for a mistake that they didn't make. Now I'll have to come back again to get my bowl! TLDR: my bowl was taken by another costumer but I didn't have time for it to be remade so they gave me extra sides and free drinks **please don't take advantage of them, they WILL check your receipt and find your bowl

Noodle Nine delivers a genuinely authentic dining experience that feels like stepping into a slice…read moreof everyday Asia rather than a polished, commercialized version of it. From the moment you walk in, the cultural atmosphere stands out--many of the patrons are Asian, and on my visit, a few were even dressed in traditional garments, which added a vibrant, lived-in feel to the space. It's the kind of detail you can't manufacture, and it speaks volumes about the restaurant's credibility within the community. The interior itself is fairly average--nothing particularly modern or upscale--but it doesn't detract from the experience. If anything, it keeps the focus where it belongs: on the food. Service was a bit of a mixed bag. There were only two servers handling the floor, and they were clearly stretched thin. Ordering is done digitally, which helps streamline things, but you can still feel the strain during peak times. That said, the food started arriving quickly--our tofu noodle dish came out almost immediately, while the beef dish lagged behind a bit. Presentation leans traditional in a charming way. The plates and chopsticks have that classic, no-frills aesthetic that complements the overall vibe of the restaurant. Now, let's talk about the food. First, a word of caution: spice levels here are no joke. If you're sensitive to heat, you'll want to dial it down. But if you can handle it, the flavors are absolutely worth it--rich, bold, and deeply satisfying. The tofu was exceptionally soft, almost silky, and clearly freshly prepared. The noodles matched that texture perfectly--tender, well-cooked, and comforting. Pricing is another strong point. For the quality and portion sizes, it's very reasonable, making it an easy spot to revisit without hesitation. Overall, Nine Noodles is a great pick if you're looking for authentic flavors, a culturally immersive atmosphere, and solid value. It's not about fancy decor or polished service--it's about good, honest food. I'd definitely come back.

We first went to the 老四川 in Seattle before our son was born. He'll be 36 years old this year, so…read moreyes he's a horse. I had lived in Beijing for 8 years and spoke pretty good mandarin for a 老外 so I ordered for us. Our waitress, one of two sisters who ran the place, I call her 陈大姐, said to me, Wow, you can speak Chinese! You must be very smart! I replied, You must be very smart. You can speak Chinese! At first she didn't know what to say but then laughed. It was the beginning of a lovely relationship. However since the pandemic we had not been back. Perhaps yesterday we were in the spirit of celebrating the Spring Festival. We decided to go there. What a great choice! 陈大姐 by coincidence was working. She retired years ago. (Her sister opened another 老四川 in Bellevue but unfortunately has since passed away.) 陈大姐 immediately recognized us. She remembered our son and other family members who often joined us there. It felt like old friends getting together again. Unfortunately my wife and I were the only ones in our little group. It's better to have more people so you can order more dishes. We only got 4 dishes, 宫保鱼， 椒盐虾，干煸四季豆， 夫妻肺片。Gong bao fish, salt and pepper shrimp, green beans and "husband and wife lung strips"! Actually that's a beef and tendon appetizer. Everything tasted just like we remember. Well, the fish dish was wetter than before but still tasty. Flavors are authentic but a little toned down from the Sichuan food in China and in a few other local restaurants. The main flavor of Sichuan cuisine is 麻辣 or spicy numbing. It's not really so hot as it is numbing. Your lips tingle. Most people who didn't grow up with this aren't big fans. Their 水煮肉 or 水煮鱼 comes pretty close though. Leftovers with either of those and leftover rice plus whatever make the very best 烩饭, huifan! Just boil it. We arrived there early and there were just a few other customers eating. And they left soon after. So it was just us and a steady stream of delivery drivers coming in to pick up food to go. I would consider ordering on line like that but this food doesn't hold up well over the distance to our home. Although the interior had been remodeled since our last visit, the decor is fairly stark. Combine that with the location in a strip mall on the corner of Jackson and 12th, which has seen better days, ambience isn't a real draw. However if what you want is a very good meal at reasonable prices then you should go to the Sichuanese Cuisine restaurant in Seattle. (I prefer it to the one in Bellevue.) Too bad you probably won't get to meet 陈大姐。Now that we know the food is still great, we will return.

This place is so good. We have ordered an alarming amount of food from here and crave it even more…read more We love the black bean chicken (savory and not spicy) and the salt and pepper crispy tofu (gets you sweaty and happy) but there hasn't been a single thing we have disliked (although the pepper chicken made me physically ill from the spice afterward, which was still worth it). Even the broccoli dish was savory and perfectly cooked. The heat in the spicy dishes is amazing and inspired us to get a sichuanese cookbook and ingredients to *try* to make anything as good at home. I have never experienced take out I like this much.
