    We came here around 5:50 pm and was seated immediately. We were greeted and scanned the QR for our menu. We ordered the 老妈蹄花汤 (not pictured), 干锅田鸡, and the 干锅手撕包菜. Honestly, the food was great and it came out pretty timely as well. All the non-soup dishes were the right mala, so be warned if anyone can't handle numbing/spice. The staff was extremely attentive from the beginning - checking in on us if we could handle spicy/mala, serving us the first bowl of soup, giving us extra napkins, and asking to change to clean plates. I would say that the parking, if packed, is troublesome as I would assume there are many people that would come here after work. It is right next to the T-Mobile office so I would say be wary of the parking. Other than that, we had a great time here and would invite more people to come.

    For ppl who are scared of trying out the spiciest version - go for the pickled fish soup. Absolute flavor bomb and kid approved. This is one of my later visits where we decided to try out some new items and were not disappointed. The Chong ching chicken was too spicy for me.. will try out a less spicy version next time

    Chicken Wings Hot & Spicy Dry Pot
    David K.

    tl;dr - friendly and good service, large seating area, portions are fairly large Pig ear was delicious. I really like how thin slice it is and the flavor is great. The chicken wings in the dry pot were tasty and crispy. I wasn't too impressed with the rest of the stuff in the dry pot. It had some baby oysters mushrooms, green beans and lotus root. The chicken feet was served in a spicy sauce. The flavor was good, but it wasn't what I expected. The shredded potatoes weren't that spicy or flavorful, but they were a good contrast to the other dishes. The Chongqing chicken was crispy, but a little sweeter than I like. They have a bone-in and a boneless version. I recommend the boneless one because the bone in had a lot of small fragments. The tables are quite large which is great for fitting many dishes but it was a bit far when talking to someone across the table. The chairs are also interesting because they are also really wide and deep with a soft bottom cushion but a wooden back. The service was great, staff was friendly. Dishes came out really fast, about 10 minutes after ordering. We came a little before closing and they didn't rush us at all even after they closed.

    Country Stir-Fried Pork Belly

    I decided to order delivery from here since I also wanted a fruit tea bubble tea. I ordered the Country Stir-Fried Pork Belly and the Lychee Peach Jasmine Tea w/ Lychee Jelly. I wanted to try more food and maybe another fruit tea, but I wanted to be good and not overdo it. The Country Stir-Fried Pork Belly was good; had a little kick with all the peppers. I got the fruit tea at 25% sugar, and it was perfect for me; tasty and refreshing. I was happy with my dinner, and want to try more items there.

    Mapo tofu
    Hui-yu Y.

    - just alright, say no to pig's snout!!! - We came here mostly because I got a coupon for spending more than $88 at Asian food center on their anniversary or some sort. Upon entry, you need to put your name on the wait-list using the little tablet. We waited for maybe 20 minutes before getting seated for dinner. The place was packed, but there was a lot of potential for extra tables.. We ordered mapo tofu 麻婆豆腐, sweet and sour spareribs 糖醋小排, and Sichuan string beans 乾癟四季豆. We also get a free country stir-fried with house smoked pig's snout 農家香香嘴. They also don't give you rice for free, so we had to get a bowl of rice as well. The mapo tofu was not like other places, the sauce is mostly red like chili oil. Not the style I like. The string beans were fine but a little dry for us. The sweet and sour spareribs was really good, but the portion is super small and it's mostly bones. Maybe that's why that fish is $14.99 when others were like $20s. We didn't enjoy it the taste of pig's snout and it was a bit "too strong" for us. We ended up not touching that free dish. Overall the meal here was disappointing, and I think we probably ordered the wrong thing. I'd probably come back here to try their other dishes, but given that it's a bit far from us now, it will take another 5-10 years for that to happen :p.

    Great service from the servers and the owner came by to check on us couple times. I love their mobile ordering system. The chairs are so comfortable with memory foam cushion. The food is excellent, piece of home every time I have it. Sichuan dishes are commonly greasy but I thought they did a good job with the amount of oil they have to use to bring out the flavor. The dishes all came out very fast. Cumin Lamb and the House Tofu are our two favorites!!

    I've heard lots of good things about this place so I was super excited to try!! We always order the Chongqing spicy chicken and szechuan restaurants -- this place is no different. One comment is that there is not a ton of chicken and the pieces are very small. However, the flavor was so good and spicy/numbing and very crispy! The sweet and sour ribs were also good, but personally I think DTF does it better. They were still very tasty (sweet, sour, meaty) though! I also ordered the sour and spicy potato dish (not pictured), which is one of my favorite. The sourness is very unique but really elevates the dish. The potato is also still crunchy, not soft at all, which makes a super satisfying bite. A minor complaint is that this place expects you to use tablets for ordering. They don't have any regular/paper menus at all (we asked)! The tablet is not the most accessible, especially for folks who are not as familiar with newer technology. It's not a very intuitive UI and you have to press on each individual item to see an image of the item. IMO a super easy fix is to just have paper menus as an alternative -- just to look at! This place was still very yummy and I look forward to coming again.

    Sichuan Eggplant (Yu Xiang)

    Tian Fu has been on my to-try radar for a long time, and I'm glad I was finally able to pay this restaurant a visit! And I have to say if you are looking for a solid Sichuan style restaurant in the Factoria area, you are in luck! I've been to Tian Fu a couple of times and even though it may look busy if you decide to go around dinner time (6-7pm), service is usually fast and you should get seated soon, unless it's a especially busy night. The ambiance of the restaurant is lively, there are always going to be a good amount of people dining in. The decorations are fit the atmosphere of a busy Chinese restaurant well with decorative Chinese chairs, tables, and wall decor. Ordering is done through their online ordering system - where you scan a QR code, select the dishes that you want, and pay your bill. The restaurant staff will come up to your table afterwards and confirm your order and ensure that there are no mistakes, which is nice. Service is also relatively fast here too - I usually got my dishes about 10-15 minutes maximum after the confirmation. In terms of the food served here, the flavor is great! I've tried a chunk of dishes here - from Boiled meat, to dry pots, to Sichuan vegetable dishes. Most dishes are seasoned well and have pleasing textures. If you decided to order the dry pots, there also is a subtle wok char flavor profile - it's like a smokey charcoal flavor that gives the dishes a extra tang that I haven't really experienced at other Sichuan restaurants. Now, about the spice level since it is what people want when they come to Sichuan place - most dishes have a decent amount of spice, not too much, and not too little. I personally haven't requested more spice, but I'm sure the wait staff would be happy to oblige. On average you will probably spend at most $60 - 75 for three people (assuming about 1 dish per person), and you will definitely get a decent amount of food given the price. I would say for the Factoria area, this is good since most things are expensive here. I have been to Tian Fu a good amount of times, and would definitely recommend this restaurant!

    Lamb
    Joy Q.

    Best sichuan restaurant I've been in the states! Elegant seating and comfortable chair. Super friendly and informative service. Food was served as a decent speed - big menu with spicy and non-spicy options. If you are lost the waiters are more than happy to give you recommendations - lavender milk tea: chose reduced sugar amount and liked the flavor. The iced drink helped calm me down while I ate the spicy food - noodles: very appetizing - lamb: my favorite dish! Such a big portion and tender lamb with cumin flavor - roasted duck in hot pot: this pot is huge with lots of transitional hot pot veggies inside (bean sprouts, potato, lotus roots, sea weed etc.) and you can choose spicy level. I ordered it knowing that it's a local specialty and wasn't disappointed. I was impressed by how authentic it was. Also plenty of options for everyone in the party to choose from. Will definitely recommend it to everyone who visits Bellevue!

    Hot and sour soup really hit the spot
    P C.

    We frequent Tian Fu. Amazing restaurant very welcoming and best service. Staff and manager(owner I think) are very friendly and professional. Our meals here never missed a beat. Food always served hot and very delicious. Nice dining table this place is very clean consider the numbers of patrons gone through very well maintained. Love the ambiance casual and nice. Can get a little noisy especially when the restaurant is full

    Amanda S.

    Probably one of my top Chinese restaurants at the moment. I loved their cucumber and wood ear salad. The cucumber was frosty cold and crunchy. The sauce was soooooo addicting. I was tempted to just drink it at the end. The beef with cilantro was tender and had wonderful seasoning. The mapo tofu was OK but quite salty as their doubanjiang was quite pungent. So be prepared to eat lots of rice. I would pass on the string beans as I felt like they weren't that amazing. Loved the frog legs so much! It's a must order from now on. Such tender little frog legs that have the taste of chicken but the texture of fish. I'm so happy that I finally have a place to get tasty frog legs.

    Pork ribs with rice and pumpkin (fen zen rou)
    Celina S.

    I want to gatekeep this place but it's so legit I can't not share. Everything here was so tasty and the restaurant was booked full by 5:01 PM. You definitely need a reservation but you wouldn't be able to tell by the reviews. My favorites are the salted egg yolk tofu, pork ribs with pumpkin in rice, spicy fried chongqing chicken, any of the leafy greens, gizzard and sour pickled beans, and the boiled fish and tofu. Don't be intimidated by the menu, the staff are very nice and can help you out. Very hilarious seeing some of the negative reviews being about how the food is too spicy lol. 1) this is a Szechuan restaurant 2) there are plenty of dishes that aren't spicy at all.

    Peking Shredded Pork
    Kristine N.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Washington! A must for Tian Fu is the Dry Chili Hot Pot with an addition of the chicken wings. I LOVE the chicken wings and I rave about them to everyone. The chicken wing flats are separated so there's only one bone in the meat for easy eats. The dish is so flavorful with a nice spicy kick (made with the sichuan peppercorns so if you're a huge fan of numbing spice, this dish is for you). The dry hot pot comes with king oyster mushrooms, lotus root, and green beans but you can add more toppings (various vegetables and/or proteins) for an extra charge. We added wood ear mushrooms and a small size of the chicken wings (there is a small or large portion). For a party of 3, a small size portion of chicken wings was more than enough for us. The chicken wings are packed with flavor, juicy, and tender. We also got an order of the Peking Shredded Pork dish, which was flavorful and tasty. For drinks, I got an order of the Organic Sparkling Guava Lemonade with Lychee Jelly. Really loved the drink as I feel like this flavor is quite unique. Service was good and attentive. Great place to take family and friends. Definitely order the wings-- I cannot rave about these chicken wings enough!

Parking ended up being a bit of a walk, which had me second-guessing the decision at first--but I'm glad I stuck with it. The moment I walked in, the space felt thoughtfully designed. The flow of the café is one of the best I've experienced--open, comfortable, and easy to navigate. As soon as the door opened, the barista greeted me right away. The counter is positioned close enough that you don't feel awkward hovering like in some cafés where the bar feels miles away. It immediately felt welcoming. I visited on a weekend during a slower period, but since the café sits right next to a college, I can imagine the line spilling out the door during peak hours. At quieter times though, the layout works well--there's enough space for a couple people to wait without crowding the entrance. I ordered a cortado and an almond croissant. The croissant came warmed, and the texture was spot on: fluffy, layered, and not overly greasy. The almond filling had a really nice balance--nutty with just enough sweetness and a hint of salt to round it out. I was told the pastries are made in-house, and it definitely shows. It tasted like something made with care. The cortado itself was solid--pretty classic, nothing overly fancy. One thoughtful touch I appreciated was that it came with sparkling water, which was great for cleansing the palate. The space itself is fairly spacious and works well if you want a quiet moment to sip your coffee. That said, most of the seating is high stools, so it doesn't really feel like the type of place to settle in and study for hours. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and quality of the food. The one thing that caught me off guard was the price of the croissant at $6.50. It tasted great and I understand prices in this area tend to run higher, especially for house-made pastries--but it's a bit outside what I'd usually spend. So while I definitely think it's good, it might not become a regular stop for me simply due to location and budget. Still, a great find and a pleasant surprise during a routine coffee run.

After being recommended Bellden Cafe by a foodie friend for a quick meal, we headed over to get some takeout to eat during the game. Mr. Brioche ($11) - This sandwich starts with a rich toasted brioche bun, which is then slathered with some creamy and fatty aioli. A soft and tender, spiced breakfast patty is placed on top, charred just a tad to give some browning and develop flavor. Some eggs, cooked on the flat top in a circular mold which makes it perfectly conform to the size of the bun, is carefully placed on top of the meat, and then finally some swiss cheese cements the sweet vegetal microgreens atop. The bun is voluminous, especially noteworthy in height. The interior ingredients only reaches perhaps 1/3 the height of the bun, making it appear that the sandwich will be dry. But that's an impression soon deemed to be false, as there's more than enough moisture from the aioli and melted cheese to smooth things over. (4/5) I don't normally associate cafes, particularly ones that seem to lean more towards the drink side of things, to also serve good food. But overall, I came out pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food I ate. Bathrooms - Single unisex room.

This place used to be the old Tully's Coffee 20+ years ago and more recently Cypress Coffee, which it's closed its doors a couple of years ago. It's a great central location on the eastside, just off of I-90. The interior is modern, well-lit, and spacious. They have board games and plenty of tables for sitting, studying, and working. I would say 90% of people there at around 11am on a weekday had their laptops open and earphones in. The table I sat at could've been wiped off a bit better, but other than that, the bathrooms and interior were clean. Last Frontier features a seasonal menu which this summer includes a Mango Matcha, Blueberry Latte, and Butterfly Iced Tea. Outside of their seasonal menu, their menu is pretty standard, but they use a special coffee brand from Japan which I hope to try maybe in the future. They additionally serve a limited variety of pastries from Macrina Bakery. I ordered a regular ICED MATCHA ($6.75) with oat milk (+0.75). With tax and tip, my order came out to nearly $10, which is pretty steep even these days for a drink. I will say that the matcha had a nice gradient and color to it and that based on the color, they use high quality ceremonial matcha and not the cheap yellowish green matcha that many cafes use. However, it was somewhat watered down and did not have any microfoam at the top, indicating that the ratio of water to matcha was too high. Given that Last Frontier is more of a coffee shop than a matcha shop, this is to be expected. So I will say that while itt's not the best matcha out there, it's also not the worst I've had either; it's passable. Also, the drink came unsweetened by default I guess (which I personally prefer), but just putting it out there for those who are used to having sweetened matcha :) One qualm I have is that they don't have prices on their menu which I think should be transparent to customers. I also don't like how the keypad for tipping is so close to the register and facing flat up that the baristas see exactly how much you are tipping. Furthermore, I'm not a fan of shops who charge more for alternative milk. In my opinion, just because you are lactose intolerant, you shouldn't be charged more, but it seems remain a common cafe practice despite Starbucks removing the extra cost for plant milk from their menu. Overall: 3/5 for drinks, 3/5 for atmosphere, 3/5 for service

    I love their corn dogs here! Literally the best. The milkshake was perfect as well. Only thing that…read moremade it 4 stars was because my smoothie wasn't fully blended & it wasn't to my preference on taste. Super friendly service & the pricing here is so good. I'm surprised not even more people know about this spot.

    Do you want to have the best corn dog of your life? If the answer is yes, then you should visit…read moreBob's Espresso. Bob's is bucking the latest health trends and leaning into life's simple pleasures, namely their iconic dipped-meat-stick. In my opinion, their snowy little shack should be named after the dogs themselves, instead of the espresso. They do have a plethora of drinks that you can choose from, but I can't speak on those. I was locked in on the main prize all day, taking down two of these monster dogs. You'll immediately be taken back to a simpler time, maybe at a state fair or your local carnival, which was probably the last time you had one. Your impression of a corn dog is probably that it has too much breading, like a sausage wrapped in a pancake. But no, these are much more dog-forward. The batter is only a thin layer, making for an impeccable crunch on every bite. The inner-dog is flavorful and juicy. My only gripe is the lack of variety in sauces. I've proclaimed many times here that I am a sauce boi, so mustard and ketchup alone will not cut it. A mayo-based sauce would have taken this to the next level as a dog shop. But I can't take away points for that, since this is still the best of my life. A worthwhile stop after a day of hiking, skiing, or shameless indulgence.
