The Best Restaurants in Seattle's University District

"This inconspicuous, seriously underrated spot just north of the University Bridge focuses on the cuisine of northeast China. The cabbage and pork dumplings are tender and juicy, the mapo tofu is balanced and packed with umami, and the chicken fried rice is some of the best in the city. Be sure to order the comically banal-sounding “spicy potato sticks.” Calling them the best fries in Seattle wouldn’t even do them justice." - Mark DeJoy, Eater Staff
