Im never picky with chinese I like most all of it. We got mongolion beef, szechuan spicy chicken, pork noodle soup, and bbq pork. This was suppose to serve 3 people. The delivery came to $33 and they didnt bring any rice.... wtf. These were suppose to be dinner entrees. The boxes were small and only half the mongolion beef was filled with beef.. the other half was all of the dried rice noodles that are suppose to come on the side. Good way to double the life of your mong beef supply... bad way to keep a customer. That wasnt a problem because the beef tasted like they pulled it out of cans of CHUNKY soup. Chewy... tasteless... the chicken was the same. The "spicy chicken" wasnt spicy at all. The vegetables were weird. There were several pieces of the dry noodle that almost broke my teeth. ISYN BBQ pork was dry as most places it is, and they gave us the xtra small finger-tip sized ketchup plastic containers that are good for about a piece of the BBQ pork. They had some weird clear bright red sauce which was gross and weak hot mustard mustard. The soup wasnt teribble, broth was ok it came with spaghetti noodles. This place is a dud. Charging as much as they do they need to step up their game. I would honestly rather hit panda express... and that place gives me a stomach ache and the runs after every session. Mandarin Gate, tug it.... tug it good.

I went there for a coworkers going away party. We were all in the lounge. I asked the bartender for a mojito and she said that they didnt have any mint leaves. I said no problem, Ill just have it without the mint. She then asked if I just wanted the triple sec and some other kind of liquor and the lime juice. I said no, I want the mojito with rum. She seemed confused and then gave me what she apparently guessed was a mojito. It was tequila, soda water, and lime juice. A mojito is a BASIC bar drink. Only 4 ingredients. The main ingredient is clear rum. She also had an attitude.

If I can give a big fat 0 I would! This place is absolutely terrible AND the food is far from good. I ordered food to be delivered, I didnt have much money so I didnt put a tip. I made sure it said $0.00 but when the woman came to deliver she started demanding a tip. She was VERY RUDE!! She was demanding an $18 tip which by the way was more then the food was in total. Several times I said no I dont have money for a tip. NEVER ORDERING FROM HERE AGAIN! VERY DISATISFFIED FROM THIS PLACE! Order from somewhere better with friendlier customer service.

Place looks great, but the food was the worst food Ive -ever- had at a restaurant. Mapo tofu was completely flavorless. The mushrooms tasted revoltingly bitter. The meat consistency was overall a gelatinous mush. The vegetables and rice were alright. We filled up on rice (which you have to pay for separately), paid, and left a whole table full of barely-touched food behind. Nobody wanted to take it home. I wonder what the heck was wrong with the cook that day. I cant assume they would hire someone that cooks like that all the time.

Fried things were overly greasy and breaded. Sweet n sour pork was a large ball of fried dough with a lil bit of chewy tendon-laden pork bit on the center. The dishes all seemed to be be covered in a gelatinous goo that just wasnt appetizing. Service was excellent and very friendly...but ultimately we didnt take home our leftovers, even though there was a lot left. This isnt like me. I like food...especially food Ive already paid for. Like I said, the service staff was great, but we wont return.

Ive been coming here for a while now as its so close to my work. However the quality of the food lately has been going down hill. At least for the lunch. The special today was almond chicken which was dry and hard around the edges. Served with two drum sticks which were barely edible and brown rice which was the best of the group. The last straw for me was the fortune cookie which was so stale I literally had to spit it out. Dont think Ill be coming back for a while.

I came in for the pan fried chefs noodles. Unfortunately, the prices on the online menu are different than the ones at the restaurant and their website/in house menu, my meal cost me about 3 dollars more. I got my order to go, cost about 10 dollars. After waiting less than 10 minutes, my order was up. The food was piping hot and all the meat, shrimp, veggies and noodles were cooked perfectly. Good dish if you are staying away from spicy meals.

Worst place I have been to! We came in for lunch but charged us the dinner price which was 3$ more and told us we should of clarified that we wanted lunch even though it was at 1:30pm. The food was not good...very bland....and service was horrible. The lady did not seem to care that the food was poorly made. I will never go back. Please dont go here...they will overcharge you!!!!! Not worth it!

Ive been coming here for years for lunch since its convenient but today it my last time. Portions of the dish are cold (precooked for lunch) and some hot, food has been inconsistent with the cooks in the back. Prices were just raised and for the cost, I have many other choices for lunch. Im out....

Weak flavors combined with cheap fillers to most of the entrees. Steamed rice costs extra and I have never had to add salt to Chinese food before. Season your food for goodness sake! Thats not being cheap, thats being lazy. The shrimp was not fresh tasting and even the fortune cookies were stale.

Ordered take out over an hour plus ago, called to find out they knocked on the wrong door?? Now we have to wait for the convenience of others for our dinner, seriously, I hope that it is hot. They should credit my account for their mistake. Over 1.5 hours and still no food!!.

Great food and signature dishes. Its been a long standing neighborhood favorite flavor. The motif is a bit authentic, and very clean. The service is dependable and the food is served hot and delicious!

This place used to be ok but since a change in management happened a while back the food has been delicious. All the same dishes as before but now with wonderful flavor. Our favorite for delivery.

What a great local dive! Karaoke with a good crowd, stiff drinks, awesome bartenders, and delicious fried rice walking distance from home! What more could we ask for?

My favorite Chinese in North Seattle. General Tsos Chicken and Crab Rangoon are my top choices here. Their delivery service has always been prompt and fresh too.

Quiet karaoke dive and Chinese restaurant. Nothing bad to say but nothing extraordinary. Good place for a relaxing meal and singing.

Not bad, I think its acceptable and decent. If youre craving Chinese food;this is a solid place to eat and enjoy yourself.
