Probably my favorite place in Seattle. Weekend Shanghai dimsum. Place is a bit outdated but you can't beat the food. The owner is so nice and sometimes brings me as special treat. Yum.

TLDR: Food: 4.5/5 Price 4.5/5 (~$250 before tip, 13 dishes) Wait: 1/5 (went 1hr seated/ordered with no food) Staff: 4/5 Space: 4/5 Time stamps: 4:30-6:41 Seated 4:35 (4:30 reservation, party of 10) Hot tea 4:40 Orders taken 4:45 Vegetable dumplings 5:51 Ribs, sweet and sour chicken, egg fu yung 5:58 Hot and sour soup 6:00 Shanghai noodles, dandan noodles 6:12 Mapo tofu 6:15 Green beans, white rice 6:20 Shrimp w/ lobster sauce, sauteed beef 6:23 Eggplant 6:28 Check/fortune cookies 6:41 I'm going to be generous because it was Christmas and therefore very busy but we were seated at our table for OVER AN HOUR AFTER WE ORDERED WITH NO FOOD. Something that was very odd was all the items were brought at different times, and the appetizers (ex: green beans) were brought at the very end, and we didn't get white rice until 2 hours into our meal after we promted server. Service was this slow for whole restraunt I observed. Food was mostly super delicious, but my favorite chinese dish, hot and sour soup was awful everyone at our table agreed), it was cold, had no texture, and just tasted like sour water, a big letdown for me. Loved the hot tea given at the beginning and refilled throughout the meal! Staff were freibdly and helpful despite the overwhelm. Small place, mostly clean, sparsly decorated, small waiting area. Looking forward to trying again on a non-holiday to see if food comes out faster. Would recommend!

The food is good here. Very cozy experience in a quant space. The service is also good. No complaints.

Best Chinese food we've found in Seattle so far. So consistent and delicious. Great service and very kind staff who are patient with kids at the table. They often have paper over the tables and kids can draw with crayons to pass the time until food comes. We keep going back for this food.

I am now resigned to the fact that Chef King in Greenwood is closed (sigh). The good news is I gave Chiang's a shot & it's my new Chinese spot! The lunch special Hand Made Pan Fried Noodle with chicken is a perfect portion & the Hot and Sour soup is fantastic. This will be my go to for Chinese lunch going forward!

Food is excellent here for dim sum, take out and dine in I have lived close to it for 20 years. Forego the American menu and ask for the Chinese. I love the Singapore noodles, plenty of shrimp, barbecued pork, and a Malay literally Malaysian flavors of spices with rice noodles and cabbage. The mini steamed buns were delicious and eaten freshly steamed piping hot at the table all three melted in my mouth with their sweet and savory BBQ pork. I was there for lunch and Went home w leftover Singapore noodles I swear they got better overnight.

My wife and I love this place. It's not a beautiful building, and the decor is dated. Who cares!? The food is delicious- always fresh, and large portions. We have been fortunate, they have been able to accommodate us w/o reservations. This year, we had my bday dinner there (including young children) it went off without issue, and the staff was wonderful. You drive by and see the dated building/ give it a try. You won't regret it.

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse Xmas eve was about, and no food in the house But fear not, dear hungry, help was soon near A restaurant was found, to provide munchies and cheer Thank you for reading my exhaustive review .. the end (( walks behind stage .. waits for the crowd encore call ... storms back on stage )) Thank you!!!! Perhaps, one last note on my review! Picture it! Seattle. Christmas Eve, 2023. The people are hungry. The restaurants are closed. Panic runs amok in the streets and then from afar (or from a post in a Facebook group...), you see it, like a beacon in the night guiding you to salvation ...a bright neon sign ... Chiang's Gourmet (queue festive holiday music). Given that we visited on Christmas Eve, we were surprised at getting seated almost right away. Some patrons arriving after us did seem to have a small ... but very modest wait, especially considering it was Xmas Eve. The service overall was very fast, very knowledgeable, very friendly, but not without some small caveats (I'll touch on those later on in the review). If you're a vegetarian or vegan, please make a point to ask for their separate vegetarian menu (which is also accessible online). The majority of their vegetarian options are vegan, barring options that contain eggs. If you're unsure, definitely check with your servers as they seem very knowledgeable. The menu has a plethora of appealing options, whether you're looking for an appetizer, soup, noodles, special entree ... you'll find something to love! Most of the food was over the top amazing, the sweet and sour ribs were "meaty" with sweet overtones and a cute, edible bamboo "bone" in the middle, green onion pancakes, thick and savory .. especially when coupled with the delicious brown dipping sauce, the fried tofu seemed just ...ok, by that I mean a bit too cooked on the outside (all three in our party felt the same) , but all of the other vegan items were nothing short of amazing (please see attached pictures). The prices you'll find here are not cheap but at the same time ... the portion sizes are really big, so you do get your money's worth! Ok, the caveats. One of the main entrees was brought to the table before even the appetizers had arrived, we found that to be odd. The other oddity was not bringing rice to the table until well after all of the main entrees arrived. I'm totally willing to dismiss the errant timing of the food service due to Xmas Eve craziness but I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention this. The last caveat was the bathrooms, they're kind of dinky, to be honest. My overall thoughts, Chiang's Gourmet is a huge win-win. There were some caveats which I wanted to be honest about in the interest of presenting a full and balanced review but I'm thinking there's no way you come out of your experience at Chiang's disappointed in any way.

Standouts from the weekend dim sum menu: - seaweed fantuan - savory soy milk - Shanghai pan fried noodles We've come here a bunch of times and always enjoy the lively atmosphere on weekends and the food ofc. Everything is really comforting and they have a special Chinese menu outside of the regular menu iykyk. This is also one of the only restaurants in Seattle that sells all types of bing in case you're in the mood. The wait can get a little long depending on how busy it is so just be mentally prepared.
