Best Wok Restaurant

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Wok truly lives up to its name! The portions here are generous—you definitely get your money’s worth. The service was top-notch, especially thanks to Chef Dennis, who made the experience even more enjoyable with his friendly personality and obvious passion for his craft. The restaurant itself is clean and welcoming, and the atmosphere is calm and comfortable. But what stood out most was the authentic, flavorful cuisine—you can tell they care about quality and tradition in every dish. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, great service, and a place that feels genuine from the moment you walk in.

Thank you Queena and team! This place is a true gem! A small family run spot with a big impact! I had honey walnut prawns with house fried rice. The rice was perfectly authentic and packed with flavor. The prawns were absolutely delicious! The shrimp toast is an east coast favorite definitely try it as it made my heart happy it was sooo good! iAlso the house made chili oil 😍 don’t forget to get a cocktail while you wait! 10/10 Ty!

A family friendly environment, competitive prices with even better taste! Got the General Tso Chicken and Chicken Lo-Mein, great portions for family, and amazing service from staff.

My son took me there to get a food. The food was fantastic. The gentleman that we talked to that sat down to wait for our food was freaking amazing. The ladies his wife made cookies of cookies were fantastic. We didn’t sit in to eat, but just the restaurant was the atmosphere was beautiful. It was peacefuland I would love to go back and have dinner inside.

I recently dined at Best Wok with my team, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience! As a group that primarily ordered vegan items, we were thrilled with the variety and quality of the dishes. One standout dish was the Hot and Spicy Hunan Tofu. It was absolutely amazing—perfectly spiced and packed with flavour. The ambiance was inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. If you’re in Bellevue and looking for a great place to enjoy vegan Chinese cuisine, I highly recommend Best Wok. You won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been eating at Best Wok for over 30 years and it Never gets old. Service is always great and Peter always remembers our family, and takes the time to come and speak to us. Just a great restaurant.

This is a nice and delightful small restaurant. The people working there are like a family very friendly and outgoing. The food is fresh and very good always served hot. Today I had the large container of hot and sour soup it was very good had enough to take home with me. Me and my girlfriend also ordered the Kung pao shrimp 5 star for Spiciness it was also excellent with 2 sides of white rice. The t that they serve is very good and goes along with the dishes very well. All this came out to $50 and this was with the tip as well. Filled both of us up so for two people This was the perfect amount of food to order. I would recommend this to any Chinese food loving people. Thank you and have a blessed day if you are reading this.

We came in pretty late and close to closing time and the service was still fast and welcoming the restaurant was very clean and cozy and the food really exceeded expectations I prefer a more spicy general chicken but this was one of the best I've ever had and the pineapple at the end of dinner was a really nice touch I'm definitely making this spot a regular when I'm in town

I'll rate this place a 4 due to great service but overall it's a 3 on taste for your standard American Chinese. Lunch specials are $18 which is a bit extreme but the portions can provide someone with multiple meals. The chicken and broccoli, kung pao chicken, sweet and sour pork and green beans with chicken are all good. The fried rice is just ok and the soup is hit or miss. If you want Americanized Chinese food this is really one of the only places on the Eastside. Definitely worth a try!

I have driven by Best Wok for many years, but had not stopped by. I had a yearning for Mu Shu Pork and Shrimp Toast and decided to give them a try for some take-out. The restaurant was very nice, as was the proprieter who took my order. It took about 10 minutes for my food to be ready and I waited in front in their comfortable waiting area on a padded bench. There were free almond cookies to munch on as I waited. Most of the customers who came into eat while I waited were Chinese, so I anticipated a good meal. The food was ready and I went home to eat. The four pancakes were warm and fresh. They had included three containers of plum sauce, and four containers of sauce for the shrimp toast. The Mu Shu Pork was terrific, a great blend of pork, cabbage, and carrot, freshly made and delicious. The shrimp toast was also wonderful, crispy on the outside and shrimpy on the inside. There was way too much to eat, so there will be plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. I really loved the food, and I will certainly return another time soon. Five stars!

Pretty solid spot that I got to at least once a month! I never leave disappointed and the people there are always super kind! Right now they have a BOGO deal going on which feels like a steal Some of my favorites are the sweet and sour chicken/pork, shrimp fried rice, chow mein, and garlic baby bok choy chicken

Been going there for over 20+ years friendliness and great service food is good staff is always on point with what ever you want they may mix up orders from time to time but still a good spot for a meal yes prices tend to be a what the economy is today's average in market prices but it still like a homey feel.

Very well made! Standard Chinese food fare and everything I've had was cooked and seasoned well. Fresh and hot. Get your favorite go-to items or try something new, it'll all be well-made! Try shrimp toast if you've never had it.

We were told this restaurant has really good food. Let me tell you this place didn't disappoint AT ALL! The service was excellent & the food omg it was delicious! We have another good restaurant in our rotation.

Since I was craving rice, my friend brought me to a Chinese restaraunt called @best_wok , and the food was authentic and comforting! We got the Chef Special Dinner for Two, which consisted of egg flower and won ton soup, barbecue pork, orange chicken, kung pao beef and fried rice all for $60! The staff were incredibly friendly and sweet as we talked story and exchanged laughters talking about the Zero purse I was wearing and how our servers daughter loved The Nightmare Before Christmas Disney movie, too! They were especially appreciative of us trying to speak to them in their dialect (Mandarin). The interior of the restaraunt felt very homey, and they also had a cute fish tank display where we ate at! The only thing I could note was that I wish the soup portions were a bit larger.

Good food and I love the bogo deal that they have on DoorDash. I like their honey walnut shrimp!

This is what I've been looking for!!! I am so picky about my Chinese food. My favorite place as a kid in Las Vegas closed many years ago and I have never found anywhere that tastes the same anywhere I've lived. I love my kung pao chicken with no veggies just peanuts and chicken. Best Wok delivered the nostalgia of good homemade Chinese food I have been missing for many years. The restaurant even gave me that same feeling before I got my food. I drove past here a few times when I take a back way home from work in Kirkland and I'm so glad I finally ordered. The man working was so friendly and thorough and these portions are huge. I ordered via Yelp for pick up. I am now the biggest Best Wok fan and I can't wait to come back and bring friends and family. I would like to try their sweet and sour chicken next, please try them out and support small business.

Large menu with American-Chinese classics, executed well, but having inconsistent portion sizes with high prices. There are A LOT of authentic Chinese restaurants in Bel-Red for the large Asian population that lives in the area. Sometimes, you just want to eat comfort food, Americanized Chinese food that you can find all across the country and chains like Panda Express have made standards. My wife really wanted a good egg drop soup on this cold Seattle day, so my daughter suggested Best Wok as a good choice, ordering carry-out for the four of us. The two locals amongst us had eaten before (both dine-in and carry-out), and were really happy with the dine-in experience (good service, large portions, great taste). There is a slight discount for cash, and the order was ready within 10 minutes of placing our order; it was still hot by the time we got back to the apartment. White rice was separate, so she skipped that since she had rice back at home. Everything tasted good. The large egg flower soup ($12 was excellent, it looked like it would be too gelatinous, but it wasn't...and the sweet corn was a great add. The Dragon and Phoenix ($30) was OK, consisting of a half portion of sauteed seafood (in white sauce) and a half portion of General Tao Chicken. For the price, it was disappointing: small amount of medium size shrimp, not much scallops. The General Tao chicken used freshly breaded white chicken and the sauce was good. The Pan Fried Noodles ($20) was a good size, with a large quantity of chow mein given (this is what actually gave our entire meal heft and allowed us not to be hungry after finishing everything). Zucchini was very prevalent in the dishes, being used as the filler vegetable. Would strongly recommend eating in, if possible, since it sounds like they do a better job of matching the portions and sizes with the pricing.

This use to be great before Covid but the prices have gone up and portions have become smaller. The taste has changed as well and you can tell they are cutting corner with yeh quality of the food. Different price if you pay cash. They are charging a premium but don't have the premium food. Service by the owners is great.

Met a friend here while in town for a visit and realized I had eaten here decades ago! Impressed it was still around and doing great business. I chose the sweet & sour lunch special which includes entree, soup, choice of rice and spring roll for $18. I wanted wonton soup which was a $1.50 upgrade and it came with two wontons and very good. Our meals came out quick, hot & delicious but service for drink refills was slow. Plenty of parking, friendly staff, easy location and clean bathrooms.

I have been going to Best Wok for years. The food is great!!! It always has been and the service is top notch!!!! Very nice people. I also love supporting our local small businesses. Excellent choice!!

If you like Panda Express, greasy take out and American style Chinese food, this is the place for you. The chow mein barely had any chicken in it. And it was soooo oily. I'm not sure how this place has been in business for so long.

While visiting Seattle, I got to meet a friend whom I've known for 20 years on line, and she took us to Best Wok. Her favorite eatery. The owners were very nice and knew her by name, which was awesome. We ordered off their lunch menu and got some of the most amazing Chinese food I've had in forever! Everything was so fresh and flavorful. I got the garlic pork with rice, won ton soup and an egg roll. Service was quick and friendly and I wish I lived here.

Once again I was a "Happy Camper". The Hot and Sour Soup is always the BEST!! We were a party of 3 and were all extremely satisfied. One could easily order anything on the menu from mushu pork to Shrimp egg Foo Young, etc. and be almost in nirvana. KUDOs to Dennis, and his staff, who made it a truly memorable experience

The first time I had Best wok was over 10 years ago. And it is by far the most consistent thing I've ever had in my 32 years of life. I went here when they were still serving cute little homemade jello cups (which I truly miss). I know people that have dined here throughout their whole lives. It's such a standard that whenever somebody brings up "I used to live in the area and this Chinese restaurant is so delicious, we went there all the time until I moved away" has happened at least 3 times to me and it's always been Best Wok. It's what I picture every single time I want Chinese food. The dishes come out piping hot and at an abundance. I mean, I can order one dish and one side and really it would be a meal prep for a few days. If you're like me, I'm always torn between wonton soup and egg drop... this place puts wontons IN the egg drop. The mooshu pork is a solid choice, whenever I've ever ordered anything seafood- it's cooked perfectly. The veggies are tender and sweet. Take out is always hot even when we pick up and drive all the way back to Seattle. The service is UNMATCHED. Extremely attentive and friendly. Your water will never be empty. Never.

Meals are about $18- 25. A man said he came a very long way for their beef chow mein. We had tofu with veggies in brown sauce. And we had shrimp lo mein. It was very good. And we had a lot of food for leftovers which were just as good Service was really good and we look forward to going back!!

Great neighbor restaurant. Owners are super friendly. It feels great to be recognized as you walk in. Okay yes we frequent often enough to know them. Food is always good. My favorite is the green bean chicken. My husband loves their almond fried chicken.

Honey walnut chicken was just thin pieces of fried batter. And the duck was all bones, and the small amount of meat was dry. $22+ for each of these is insane.

This is still good. But not as good as before. The taste has declined. In the cashew chicken, the chicken was lower in the proportion compared to the rice. The staff is still nice and so is the inter.

Attentive service and great food. Looking for a best Chinese food in your neighborhood, this is it.

I ordered on Grubhub. This was my second time giving them a try and sadly I was once again very disappointed. First of all the price I paid for the amount of food I got was absolutely ridiculous but I would not have minded if the food at least tasted good. But instead the food has very little flavor and the filling in the crab Rangoon had a very odd texture. I will not be giving them a third try.

I've come here several times for really friendly service and delicious American Chinese food! The Chef Recommended menu is amazing, especially the Dragon and Phoenix and the Honey Walnut Prawn dishes. The atmosphere is very cozy inside, and reminds us of home. This establishment is a Bellevue classic that we take friends and family to, and is on our list of restaurants we regularly visit.

We've been coming to Best Wok for years. Great Hunan cuisine, very similar dishes to the ones I had growing up in the NY Metropolitan area. They even have my favorite appetizer Shrimp Toast, the first (and only) place I've found it in the PNW. Today I got the Mongolian Chicken; they prepare it with mushrooms added, so I asked for just onions & scallions. At 2 stars it was flavorful, but a little bland. All ingredients were fresh and well-prepared (no giant hunks of chicken to hack up to actually fit into one's mouth). It's a very pleasant family-friendly vibe. I was disappointed to see they're still using styrofoam containers for To Go food. I hope they change that soon, so I can bump them up to 5 stars! Service is always prompt, polite and professional. The music playlist is pretty retro, but pleasant and not loud.

We came here for lunch and ordered from their lunch menu. The prices are a bit steep for what you get. The food is okay, not great but not bad either. The restaurant itself is very clean and has a very pleasant vibe and ambiance. The service is prompt and very friendly and warm. Overall worth checking out if you're in the area and in the mood for some Chinese food.

Yummy. Ate it up. Got the beef chow mein and an order of the sweet and sour, mixed it up, delish.

The food was okay. I was disappointed that there was a lot of breading and little chicken in the sweet and sour chicken. The prices were rather high with a lunch combo at $20+.

Picked up an order for takeout and the food was great. Happy to find a new go-to takeout spot.

Denis and Keith, the owners, have always provided exceptional, friendly service and consistently delicious food, whether dining in or taking out. My family has loved this restaurant for as long as I can remember--from when I was a kid to now, with my parents as the regulars. I still enjoy the leftovers whenever I get the chance and often stop by just to say hello when picking up food. LOTS of cherished family memories while eating in to last a lifetime and truly best for Best Wok. The overall ambiance of which takes me back and I'm happy they have kept it the same since.

Absolutely horrible!!!!! The fried rice was UNDERCOOKED and zero flavor,it didn't even actually look or taste like it had been fried .Chicken for the lemon Chicken was OVER fried/burnt it actually looked burnt !!! not even the sauce could help mask the flavor ! OMG.... all the dishes had something terribly wrong but the chicken chow mein ,that was just okay.We tried to cleanse our pallet with the fortune cookie .... How can you screw up a fortune cookie??....OMG......... they were rancid !!!! Not stale but rancid Bad oil ??? Not sure but we all spit them out! Nothing like rancid oil lingering in your mouth . $120. Worth of Takeout went in the trash . I'd rate this a zero. Sometimes you can have a meal that didn't hit right,maybe not as good as the last,but this was off the charts with problems....actually inedible .

Exceptional service, lovely team that takes very good care of you. The food is delicious, so good!

The ONLY good feature about this place is that people working there are nice. The food is awful - full stop ! And on top of that Best Wok is VERY expensive ! NEVER going back and cannot recommend

Best Wok is the best Chinese food on the East side. I have been eating here for 29 years. Highly recommend!

Above am beyond ! Great food and service go hand in hand here at Best Wok. I called right after they close and they were willing to make a small order for us. Good thing as we just came back from a late flight and I had a craving for Beef and Brócoli . Thank you Best Wok!!!

Wow!!! very delicious food Every Sunday after service we keep passing this restaurant, finally needed catering for church and husband 60th birthday!!!! Dennis help me above and beyond for catering 11:15pup they don't open till noon gotten me the food I requested omg sooo delicious very friendly environment employees makes you feels very special person The music at the restaurant makes you feel relaxed and at home we will come again for lunch after church service Thank you Dennis Jean/Rich Hung

Yelp needs to update their system because I need to give you guys a six star review!!! Keith and Dennis are the best, they have meorized our names and everytime we go there it doesn't just feel like we are to a reastaurent but it feels like we are going to meet friends!!! Their food is amazing and I have been eating there since I was in my mothers stomach. I LOVE BEST WOK!!!

The staff is incredibly nice, but I could've gone to Panda Express. I ordered the teriyaki chicken. It seemed like they took some fried chicken, dunked it in teriyaki sauce and put it in the microwave. Same with the fried rice. I should've known it would be terrible because it only took five minutes to get my food after placing my order. And the spring roll was about the size of a roll of pennies. I definitely won't be going back.

The friendliest staff with the most Americanized Chinese food. Best Wok reminds me of an old school Chinese restaurant in a small town, with dim lighting, a TV in the background playing Undercover Boss and specials, like Mongolian beef or General Tso's chicken. Bellevue is not a small town. But I have a feeling Best Wok has been around when Bellevue was a small town, or truly, the suburb of Seattle that it once was. The exterior will tell you so. And the interior will confirm that. It's not a fancy spot, which is kind of a godsend these days for how booming and at times, artificial Bellevue has become. With that said, I think the menu they serve has been the menu they've had all along, with just higher prices to reflect the increase in rent. With that said, the menu is what you'd expect from an old school Chinese restaurant, with more Americanized items, like their specials of Mongolian beef and General Tso's chicken. Ya know orange chicken? Yeah, they have there here. Beef with broccoli? You bet. But do you want congee with Chinese donut or mapo tofu? Find that at the other several Chinese restaurants in Bellevue. Yet if you like Americanized Chinese food then that's cool and you'll have better luck at Best Wok. But it's just not for me. I ordered the sizzling rice soup while my boyfriend had a wonton soup. And we both thought our dishes were fine. Nothing special or had us wanting more. Unlike traditional wonton soup, his soup came with lots of different veggies and chicken. His biggest complaint was that the wontons didn't taste fresh. My sizzling rice soup wasn't bad, and I did like the abundance of veggies it came with. But the chicken tasted a little off, like it had been frozen and reheated for this soup. The staff here was very, very friendly and it seems like they have a lot of regulars, especially with a twice-a-day happy hour. But sadly, with the selection of Chinese restaurants around Bellevue, I can't say Best Wok would be at the top of my list to frequent.

Brown rice option with stir fried broccoli and chilies! Just the right amount of heat for this girl (mild+). Quick and fresh food and friendly service. And I love the homey atmosphere!

During Covid, my boyfriend and I would order takeout, and thoroughly enjoyed it. BUT! We dined in tonight and loved the selection of drinks, foods, customizable options, and customer service. I'm completely vegetarian- no eggs. And they were able to tailor to my diet which was a plus! I ordered vegetarian chow mein. 10/10. Delicious. Boyfriend ordered Uhnan chicken with rice. 10/10. Andddd also delicious. Drinks- Zombie and Blue Hawaii. Staff was kind and very friendly, and would 100% recommend going in and dining.

Always friendly, food is very good, restaurant always clean. I like the wide variety of Asian foods they make.

This restaurant has been here since I was in college and I can't believe today was my first time tried their food. (To go) We tried mapo-tofu (麻婆豆腐) Baby Bok Choy (青梗菜) Egg Drop Soup ( 卵スープ) and Chicken Chao Mein. I really liked their egg drop soup and it was very flavorful with baby corns. I wasn't big fan of their baby bok choy, it was undercooked and the veg was under steamed before it goes to wok. Mapo-tofu was average but I think they put little bit over corn starch. Chicken chao main was good! I can't wait to go back to dine-in!

Best in class, lots of options, easy for take out. Everything you need in your comfort Chinese needs.

Great spot on 148th St. in Bellevue been there forever! If you haven't tried, & you feel like some Chinese food, you won't be disappointed ..

I don't write a lot of reviews, but had to for Best Wok. We picked it because we were traveling through Seattle on our way North. Because it was Thanksgiving, not many options open. Best Wok was not only open, but the owner (third generation) was so welcoming. We had wonderful service and better yet was the food quality. Pot stickers made fresh, in a chili sauce were amazing. General Tsao chicken and sesame chicken were done just right and tasty. House fried rice was great! The owner brought us an extra white rice and sliced pineapple for dessert, "on the house!" It truly exceeded our expectations!

It as a large family dinner, set menu. Service was great, the food just came coming and coming. And with such warmth and personal service. It's typical, old-style Chinese food - shrimp and chicken and tofu dishes galore. Very good.

My husband and I came here tonight for dinner and it was so good ! The food was so tasty and fresh. We had wonton soup ,hot and sour soup, calamari with salt and pepper and scallops with shezwan sauce. Our waiter was Kee and he was very professional and pleasant. We also met Dennis and overall our experience was great ! The service and food are A plus ! We will return here very soon with-our family and friends ! Thank you all for this awesome experience and wonderful food !!!!!

Dennis and Keith run a great business! They are friendly and they have delicious Chinese food. We come here all the time. Highly recommend them for lunch/dinner.
