18 Sensational Chinese and Taiwanese Restaurants in the Seattle Area

"At 12th and Jackson, regulars happily return to Happy Food for reasonably priced meals served with a warm smile in a homey atmosphere. Fish filets float in a sauce of fragrant housemade scallion oil that compels people to reach for another scoop of the self-service rice. Cabbage comes rustically stir-fried in large pieces, available “plain” or spiked with vinegar, and the stir-fried green beans pack the punch of ya cai (a type of preserved mustard green). Especially popular are the braised pork intestines, cut large for extra chewiness and mixed with meaty king oyster mushrooms, cooked to the requested level of spiciness." - Jay Friedman
