Chiang's Gourmet - Seattle

Excellent Jiangnan - a great place for breakfast and brunch! The owner is an old friend from college. They serve delicious sesame flatbread, youtiao (Chinese donuts), salty soy soup, and steamed dumplings with hot red oil and spinach — all the flavors we miss from Shanghai street food vendors. They also offer some tasty, spicy Sichuan dishes. Highly recommended!

Not wanting to be forgotten, I spoke up and requested a table for two. The owner then asked whether I or the women behind me arrived first, which felt insulting since I had been at the door first. Nevertheless, I wanted to enjoy my breakfast, so I clarified that I was first. Unfortunately, that was the only interaction I had with the owner; she didn’t bring me a menu, take my order, or check in on me at all. I'm a bit puzzled by the comments about the owner's friendliness because my experience differed. Nonetheless, after a bit of time, I spoke to a young waitress to get a menu and place my order. The breakfast itself was fantastic! I recommend the shark fried noodles, sweet rice rolls with seaweed, and Chinese fried donuts, but I’d skip the soy milk. While my visit wasn’t perfect and I felt somewhat unwelcome, I still think this is a great restaurant. I’ve heard the owner speaks Shanghainese, and being from Shanghai myself, I had hopes of a warm welcome. Despite my experience, I would rate it five stars because I truly want to support my fellow community members.

On Christmas Eve, all was quiet, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse, and the pantry was bare. But don't worry, dear hungry friend, help was on the way. A restaurant was...

This is the best Chinese food in Seattle! They offer three different menus, and every dish is delicious. The owner is also great at making recommendations to enhance your order.

Highlights from the weekend dim sum menu include the seaweed fantuan, savory soy milk, and Shanghai pan-fried noodles. We've visited this place several times, and it has consistently impressed us...
