The Best Chinese Restaurants in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"Bellevue’s Dan Gui Sichuan Cuisine (there’s a second location in Issaquah) serves up a solid selection of items, like saliva chicken, where cold chicken is poached and served in chile sauce, making for a mouthwatering (get it— saliva chicken?) experience. Chile-mixed eggplant with preserved egg comes in a large mortar with a pestle provided to mash everything together until you get a funky mixture. The menu showcases numerous bowls of fish in broth; try the ma la tofu pudding with fish filets in a spicy numbing broth. The seemingly simple dry pot cabbage shows off the skills of the kitchen, as the smokiness of the wok hei shines through." - Jay Friedman
