This is one of my favorite places in the ID. It's rare you'll find a crowd here, which makes getting a table easy despite it being a small restaurant. I always order the wonton noodle soup and potstickers, which are always consistent, flavorful and stuffed full of filling. The soup bowls are also fairly large and plenty filling. All of the dumplings are made in-house and during a slow moment, you'll occasionally get to see someone rolling them.
Just a head's up, they don't accept credit cards so make sure to bring cash. -

Very cute place in Seattle if you're looking for quick bite. The price is really good for the portions. Noodles were very soft and the dumplings were amazing. I would love to come again and try rest of their items on the menu.
Tip: Cash only -

Came in right after work and this place was a little empty, but don't let that fool you- their food is amazing! We ordered the pork and chive dumplings with the spicy sauce, Szechuan beef and tendon noodle bowl, and the seaweed salad with garlic. They were all amazing.
The dumplings- they are handmade and you can totally tell because when you bite into it, you can tell it's made with love. The meat to wonton skin ratio is perfect and it's boiled to perfection. The sauce definitely takes it over the top! Try not to break it when you're mixing the sauce and the dumplings because it's all of it together that makes the perfect bite- it doesn't taste nearly as amazing if it's deconstructed. Also, watch out, it's hot!!
I'm also usually not the biggest fan of beef noodle soup (牛肉麵)but this has got to be my favorite one so far! The broth is my favorite! The beef cubes and tendon were pretty good too :)! The noodles aren't knife cut, but they are cooked perfectly. I would definitely get this again!
The garlic seaweed salad was just a nice touch :).
This place is a little far from the main ID area, but it's worth the walk! Also it's super nice to see the lady making dumplings on the side! How can she make so much? She must teach me!
Also- it's CASH only!! Bring cash! -

I had high hopes for this place since other reviews raved about it and it has the hole in the wall vibes, which is usually a good thing for Chinese food. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with any of the food we ordered.
The beef noodle soup's broth wasn't that rich and tasted more vinegary than I expected. I haven't had beef noodle soup before, so maybe the restaurant made it properly and I just don't like the dish in general? Since I'm not sure if they did it poorly vs my personal preference I am giving the place 3 stars instead of 2. I also didn't like the noodles in the dish since they were as thick as udon, but not as chewy.
The wontons were better than the beef noodle soup but only "ok" overall. The sauce was overwhelming and I couldn't taste the actual flavor of the wonton due to the sauce. The sauce itself was what I expected for a spicy sauce if not a little too vinegary.
I won't be coming back and will stick with Canton Wonton in Chinatown if I'm wanting some noodle soup in the future.
