    The Chinese food here is of good quality. Enjoyed all the different dishes we had. A little pricey, but what can you expect as you are in Pike Place! The staff was friendly enough and you can get some decent seating to see the water in the distance.

    Stopped in to split an entree after wandering around for a bit. There was no one there and we got seated right away, when we discussed getting tea the waitress came right over and brought the tea ASAP! (The jasmine is great!) We split the house style noodles with tofu and added the chili paste and it was perfect! The tofu was a great texture, the noodles expertly cooked, veggies were crisp, and a perfect serving size for the both of us. We will definitely be going back to try more things! (Although we wanted to go home even after eating we were offered more tea if we wanted to stay and chat and I truly appreciate that!) And what a view!

    We were looking for something to eat around Pike Place later in the evening and a lot of the restaurants were closed, so we ended up here. It is very overpriced, and the food is nothing crazy but the portions are good. We got the vegetable chow mein and the wonton soup, both were okay. A big plus they gave is the view- it looks out to the water and is really beautiful.
