Jiang Nan Bellevue

One of the best meals I’ve had in Seattle — hands down. From the moment we walked in, everything from the service to the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. But the real star here is the food. Every dish was packed with flavor, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen takes real pride in what they do. We tried a few different things on the menu, and honestly, there wasn’t a single miss. Everything tasted fresh and balanced, with just the right mix of comfort and creativity.

We came to this restaurant several times when it's soft opening... It's kind of restaurant that finds success with strong brand from new York with good design and service. However with such a luxury location and pricing, food is rather lacking but it does look good! How often do you just want to feel good with the space and vibe?

Great dining experience at Jiang Nan. We saw a lot of the other reviews that talked about the restaurant still figuring things out as they first opened but it seems like they’ve worked out a lot of the kinks! Great service with very friendly staff and yes, you can see the menu and order through your iPad but you can also call the waitstaff over with a button and they were able to make all of these dietary accommodations for us, including leaving cheese out of certain dishes, as well as removing meat from certain dishes for my vegetarian wife. As for the food, it was delicious! The fried rice with black truffle was great, so were the fried noodles and crispy sliced beef. I definitely want to come back and try their Beijing roasted duck, which comes in a half and whole duck variety. All in all, would recommend coming here and we will be coming back. They validate parking, plenty of parking in the garage for the building, very safe and nice building, and it is located next to John Howie (this restaurant is where the old Sugar Factory was).

I had a great meal at Jiangnan Restaurant. The place is clean, nicely decorated, and has a cozy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the service was quick. The food was delicious—especially the Spicy Pickled Pepper Bullfrog and Shrimp. Everything was fresh, well-cooked, and full of flavor. You can tell they put care into each dish. If you’re looking for tasty and authentic Jiangnan-style food, this is a great spot to try. I’d definitely go back and recommend it to others.

We were excited to try out this new restaurant, especially the Peking duck. Browsing through the menu was super exciting as there are so many dishes we want to try. Then reality struck. The pork belly in the braised pork belly in black tea sauce was tough. It's supposed to be a delicate dish that melts in your mouth. But this dish was chewy. There were more fried dough than chicken in the deep-fried dried chicken with dried pepper. I think they could do away with the fried dough. The fried rice was very disappointing too. It didn't look appetizing, and the taste lacked "wok hei" Finally the duck showed up. Instead of showing us the whole duck, it was already sliced and set on a plate. The skin color didn't look anything like the picture on the window. The skin was somewhat crispy, but the meat is a bit cold. We've tried Iden Quan Ju De in Vancouver. If that was a 10 in Iden, then Jiang Nan's would be around 5 at most. It lacks presentation, freshness, and crispiness. But the overall taste is okay, probably not worth the price tag. The operational flow of the restaurant is still not smooth as the staff is new. They would forget to check in on our table. We had to flag them down several times to refill our drinks or switch out the plates for wrapping the duck dish. The ordering process was completely awkward as there's only one tablet for the entire table to browse through the menu. The ordering was confusing as well as tlit asked us to enter the table number. Then we found out we were seated in a different table than what they had told us from the front desk. The serving staff brought us several dishes that we hadn't ordered. We told them we didn't order those, or we could have gotten extra dishes for free. Unfortunately it wasn't a great experience as we had high expectations for such a supposedly high caliber restaurant. Perhaps we would give it another chance in six months after they work out all the flaws in their process.

I tried Jiang Nan in Boston and the quality is the same. Love their Peking duck, walnut shrimp and passion fruit tea! All dishes we tried here were delicious.

Came here on a Friday evening and had a reservation for two. It turned out not to be needed because it wasn’t busy at all. I was underwhelmed by the service considering it’s located in the Bravern. I joined a friend and wasn’t walked into the dining space, we ordered from an iPad at the table so recommendations were non existent, just felt like shines exterior with little substance. Food was okay, I ordered the crab meat and while good it was too rich and don’t think I’d order it again unless I had at least two others to share with. Lions head is quite tasty, it was seasoned well and the sauce is very good. The Peking duck was alright, had more meat on it than I expected but tasted fine. Would have liked to see more wrappers, because we ran out between two people, can’t imagine if there were more dining together. Don’t see myself being a regular here because of the price point based on location and less on the food itself.

Unfortunately, my experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. We arrived with high expectations, especially after hearing rumors that it had once been Michelin-recommended. But as the saying goes, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. The food was average at best, and the desserts were uninspired and forgettable. The cocktails, which appeared vibrant and enticing in the menu photos, were dull and underwhelming in reality. Service felt tired and unenthusiastic, and the atmosphere suffered from the restaurant being relatively empty, leaving the overall vibe rather lackluster. I truly hope the place improves over time, and if it does, I’d be more than happy to revisit and update this review. But as of now, it was a letdown.

The food was good. Favorites were the mushroom fried rice, bacon and vegetable fried rice, the Peking duck, the flank steak with house special sauce, pork soup dumpling, crispy shrimp with honey walnuts, smoked pork neck. Grilled fish was cooked well but it was not as flavorful as expected. Service while nice, was lacking. I didn't feel the employees were well trained for this type of restaurant. Waters were refilled often and dishes cleared, but proactive responses like more wraps for our duck (we ordered a full duck) or refilling the hot tea was lacking. That is why this didn't feel so high end. The decor felt outdated. Empty. Old. Considering this is a new restaurant I was a bit surprised at the decor choice.

Disappointing Experience for a Special Occasion We came here to celebrate a birthday with a party of six and ended up spending over $400 -- unfortunately, the experience didn't come close to justifying the price. Right from the start, things were off. We waited 20-30 minutes after being seated before anything arrived at our table besides water. No drinks, no appetizers -- just silence. Then, oddly, some of the food began arriving before our drinks ever did. When our hot tea finally came, the server poured it immediately, before it had any time to steep, leaving us with six cups of clear, flavorless hot water. The worst part of the night came when a server spilled food and hot oil on one of our guests. Accidents happen, but the response from the staff was deeply disappointing. The manager simply said they would "train the server not to spill again." No apology. No urgency. I suggested they consider comping at least part of the meal as a gesture of goodwill -- they declined. For a restaurant at this price point, the lack of attentiveness, basic service timing, and accountability was shocking. This was meant to be a special evening, and unfortunately, it fell far short.

Sigh... I really wanted this to be a place I would go back to. Unfortunately with the high prices and the small portion sizes I won't be. The menu on the ipad was convenient but they accidentally linked our table and another table to the same order and the other table ended up deleting everything we had selected so we didn't start out on the best foot. The waiters were nice and resolved our issue quickly. The overall service was great. The only thing I noticed was they seemed to be waiting around for something to do which was kind of awkward with their station being right by our table. The decor gave the impression of wanting the place to feel fancy and high end but with it being almost empty for dinner on a Sunday evening; the vibe was giving more dated and forgotten. Final and most important thought: The food was good and good quality. Don't get me wrong on that but the portions were small and the prices were so incredibly high especially for their rice and noodle dishes.

Some dishes stood out more than others. I really like the seafood stir fry noodles, honey walnut shrimp (best I've had, breading was super thin airy and crispy), and truffle fried rice (nice dense sticky rice type texture w a moderate soy and truffle taste). Peking duck was not as juicy as you would expect but the skin was crispy and flavorful, xlb taste was good but the wrapping was a lil thick if you'd compare to dtf. Staff was really nice and attentive

The signature Peking Duck isn't as fatty as others but still very tasty if you eat while hot. The best part is getting the optional duck bone soup add on. The grilled fish was pretty tasty as well. Loved the string beans. I didn't try the soup dumpling while hot but there was really no soup when I got to it. Love mini tangerine puerh tea and as it is served by the pot you can pretty much add infinite hot water refills for free and it keeps getting better. It's order by tablet but you have to call over a server to actually pay. Service is great. The Bravern directory map signs don't show the restaurant entrance but it is right next to John Howie.

Parking: free parking garage Location: same Floor and across from John Howie Restroom: outside the restaurant in between the restaurant and John Howie This place supposedly is a michelin guide restaurant. We ordered: Stir fry shredded cabbage with pork belly Bacon and vegetables fried rice Seafood fried noddle Half Peking duck Mapp tofu Crispy shrimp with honey walnut Fatty beef with green onion Smoked pork neck meat Hot tea- charge per pot $9, as many cups as you want and refillable. Overall, everything is just average, kinda too salty for our taste buds. Service is not the best. We ordered from the tablet. The lady just come and confirmed our orders. Then we never see her again. Service is not good and not friendly. Food arrived, none of them say the name of the dishes. This restaurant is overpriced for the food, we dont taste any different from restaurants in Chinatown. Kinda disappointed. The restaurant is very empty.

(Review is regarding service on 03/22/25) We arrived shortly before our reservation time, but it took a long time for us to be seated, even though our entire party was present. The staff left the reception table, so we had no one to ask. Once we got seated, it was hard to get the attention of staff to get us waters or order. It was also hard to get the attention of staff to get the check. Food was okay. The decor/interior design seems very out of place for the vibe of the restaurant. Overall disappointed--NYC location is better.

I heard really great things about Jiang Nan from friends in other cities. I tried to visit last month with my friend, but we were turned away - they required reservations at that point. We then made a reservation for May and they were really empty! I guess they were just really popular during the first few weeks. Parking is easy in the Bravern and they also offer parking validation when you leave. Just be sure to bring your ticket up from the garage. The food was just fine. I expected more from the high prices and the hype. I feel like these items can be found at normal Chinese restaurants at a normal price tag, at the same quality. Don't think I would come back. - Sichuan Lamb: 2/5, this was actually overcooked and not very spicy. Similar to what you would get at a Sichuanese restaurant. - Tea Braised Pork Belly: 3/5, cool presentation but the pork belly cubes were a little dry. I did like the tea braised sauce. - Crab Tofu: 5/5, this is the one that made the meal good! I loved that it came in a little crab dish. The crab flavor was great and the it went well with the texture of the tofu. If you come, you have to get this dish.

located in bravern, came to try the chinese food as it was on the michelin guide. was seated at a round table that was a bit tight for our party of 9. service and food was ok. food: - honey walnut shrimp: always liked this dish - smoked pork neck meat: very smoky flavor - marbled beef and scallion - peking duck: ok, served with thin wonton skin - seafood fried noodle: barely any seafood - bacon and veggie fried rice: nice bacon flavor - cabbage and pork belly - mapo tofu: minced meat and nice sauce

Utterly disappointing, Jian Nan is an overpriced restaurant that serves low quality precooked dried and lukewarm food in dirty dishes after making you wait for 35 mins. The Bravern location has fancy decor but only because it took over most of the interior design from its predecessors, and this is about the only complement I have for Jian Nan. The receptionist coldly demand all party to be here before seating and there's a 2 hours table limit...I'm fine with the rule but when rest of my party arrived 5 mins later, she made us wait another 7 mins to "pull a chair over". Water service was slow and they poured 6 cups of water when there's 7 of us. Zero greeting or menu explanation from waiter who just left one small iPad to order from and every else has to pull menu on their phone as if we are at some cheap eat fast food restaurant. Peking duck is pretty much the worst I've ever had even though it's $100 but tastes like it was made days ago and just microwaved slightly so the skin is soggy, the meat is lukewarm and dried, and all I can taste is this stale flavor in my mouth. I'm not comparing it to top class Peking duck I had at Da Dong Beijing, or Le Palais in Taipei, they are completely at different class. Locally, Jiang Nan's Peking Duck cannot be compared to Baron's Xian's, which is $10 to $30 cheaper (depending on day), even Asian Family Supermarket's Lucky BBQ food court take out roast duck is 10x better. The rest of our meal was also disappointing. The sweet and sour whole fish was a small overbattered and over sauced mess. The appetizer eggplant was tiny and extremely mushy for $17, the truffle fried rice lacked truffles flavor, and the crab and pork soup dumpling has no crab flavor, little soup, and overly thick skin. I honestly haven't had such unpleasant dining experience in a while, giving it a rare 1 star from me.

We called Jiang Nan a few days in advance to make a reservation for Saturday at 5:30pm and had no trouble securing a spot. When arriving at The Bravern, it's best to park near the Amethyst (purple) elevators, as they take you directly to the restaurant on the second level. The Amber elevators are the next closest option. Jiang Nan is located directly across from John Howie Steakhouse. Upon entering the spacious entryway, we were immediately greeted by a host (the host stand is also where you can validate parking) and were promptly seated. Our server Kelly was excellent, as she answered all of our questions and was very prompt when we needed something. A tablet was shared with us to order off of, versus a physical menu. The menu is extensive, and it was challenging to pick our items because our mouths watered looking at all the dishes. Our main complaint is that while the food is good, we didn't find it to be as good of a value as the Michelin Guide suggests. We understand that it's located in The Bravern, one of the most luxurious shopping destinations in the Seattle area, but some of the dishes felt overpriced. The half Peking Duck was phenomenal--the Duck wasn't too dry, and the presentation was beautiful. However, $16.95 for four steamed black truffle and pork soup dumplings felt a bit pricey. The wrapper was on the thicker side but had a nice soft texture and held the soup well without breaking. The truffle flavor was subtle, and while they tasted good, I probably wouldn't order them again due to the value. The deep-fried tiger prawns with salted egg yolk for was excellent. The shrimp had the perfect texture, and the breading was tasty. They also mixed in youtiao (Chinese donuts), which was a nice touch. We also tried the shredded eel with scallions in hot oil, a dish that's difficult to execute well. Jiang Nan did a great job with the flavor and texture, though the dish had a bit more starch than necessary. While I enjoyed it, I likely wouldn't order it again. We found the mapo tofu with minced meat reasonably priced. It's spiced well, and the tofu has a nice soft texture. The stir-fried shredded cabbage with pork belly was fantastic. The cabbage was cooked perfectly but still nice and crunchy. Pork belly was tasty, though I would have liked a higher ratio of pork belly to cabbage for this dish. The sautéed pea sprouts in garlic was one of our favorite dishes. The texture was spot on, and the flavor was outstanding. I'd definitely order it again. We also ordered steamed white rice at $2 per serving. I was the only one in my group to order a drink and chose the lychee martini. Unfortunately, the cocktail wasn't very well-balanced, as the vodka overpowered the flavor. I did appreciate the two real lychees in the drink, but I wouldn't order it again. Overall, we had a great experience, but I couldn't bring myself to give this five stars, given the cost of some of the dishes. After tax, the total came to $245.36. We ordered more than the average group of three and chose some pricier dishes (though there are definitely more affordable options like the mapo tofu and cabbage with pork belly). I'm glad we had the chance to try it. I would return for special occasions or if I wanted to impress someone with high-end Chinese fusion.

Food was decent but nothing to write home about. Service was friendly and seated us quickly without a reservation. The restaurant itself was clean and mondern. I would say that the duck took an exceptionally long time like 30 min+. Either way for the price it was a very average experience but it is a decent spot to just meet with friends because of the plaza it is located in!

Beautiful restaurant.. food is MEH. Very expensive for the amount you get.. and it wasn't even impressive taste-wise. We decided to try this place out for my sister's birthday. I will say service is quick & very responsive. The best dish we ordered was the peking duck w/rice wraps. The duck was amazing and perfectly crispy skin & flavor. We also order the steak which was expensive and tasted too bland. Had nice marbling to it and presented well but nothing memorable. They also added random strawberries with it.. how odd. Dessert menu was very lacking! We wanted to treat my sister to an awesome birthday dessert but choices were slim and the one we wanted was unavailable..the creme brulee. We settled for this $15 fruit pudding.. it literally came like a soup instead! It was so sad looking and can't believe this fancy restaurant served it. Ugh don't bother with this restaurant. Plenty of other amazing Chinese restaurants out there!

SOFT OPENING Review Food - 3 Stars with alot of potential. The flavors are there, but everything just was not hot enough. Sure, often fine dining is more room temperature, but I don't believe this place will survive unless the food temperature is raised. The menu is expansive + expensive :) Alot of variety and wide range of ingredients. You can taste the potential, what should be there, but is not fully brought out unless temperature is raised on the dishes. Everything was good, but we had to send the soup back, something was not right. The Peking Duck was slight letdown but they notified us of some issue with manufacturer of cooking appliance and they have new replacements coming. Service - 5 Stars. Very attentive, caring, putting great effort to ensure satisfaction. Ambiance - 5 Stars, gonna be alot of gram photos here. Most important thing though is the food temp needs to be raised to bring out more flavor (at least for the dishes we ordered). Best of Luck to them, we'll see.

I am always excited to try out new restaurants that open up on Eastside, and hearing that Jiang Nan was a well known and loved chain from NY, I was really looking forward to trying out unique flavors that this restaurant had to offer! We went on a Friday around 6:30pm and had a brief wait time to get seated. The restaurant is located in the Bravern apartment/shopping complex - which houses many luxury brands and expensive high dining restaurants. Luckily there is a parking garage right under the complex, and also parking is validated if you bring your parking ticket to the service workers at the restaurant! Do note, I was confused as Jiang Nan wasn't really marked on the map as it was such a new addition at the time of my visit - so I got confused trying to find it. If they haven't added it yet - FYI it's right across from John Howe steakhouse. The ambiance of the restaurant feels high dining with the decor of chandeliers, candles, and dim lighting, but most if not all of the diners were casually dressed. Ordering is done through the tablet and our food got our reasonably fast after we ordered. We got a couple of items, which I'll review down below: (Note: 1 bowl of rice is $3) Stir Fried Cauliflower with Pork Belly ($19): Nicely flavored dish - cauliflower is soft on the exterior and slightly crunchy in the interior. Pork belly slices were thin, but also thick enough to give a satisfying chew. Spices and aromatics were present and were presented in a delicious aftertaste. Now, a couple of critiques - there is no wokhei（锅气）flavor, as in no smokiness that comes from doing a stir fry at a high temperature, which is usually present at other authentic Szechuan restaurants. A lack of pork - there were probably like 4 - 5 slices of pork belly in the dish. After one round of passing between 3 people (only got like 1-2 slices each), it was all out. Deep Fried Japanese Tofu with Mixed Seafood - $22: I feel that this was the tastiest dish that we ordered here. The tofu was fried perfectly - very thin exterior that wasn't oily at all, and a deep and flavorful sauce that was poured at our table. You can eat this without rice and on it's own and it's pleasant to eat. Braise Lion's Head Meat Balls in Brown Sauce - $10: Personally, having tried Chinese meatballs of this size at many other restaurants, I think this was on the side of small and can't really be called a Lion's head meatball. The picture on the menu is more forced perspective - it may look handball sized, but it's more slightly larger than a golfball by like 1-1.5 inches. Other than this size difference, the flavor is decent - nice soy sauce braised glaze and the texture is extremely tender and falls apart easily. Cumin Lamb on Sizzling Plate - $29: Flavor-wise, very robust and hard hitting on the first bite, which is great. You get the spices immediately and a very slight numbness from the peppercorns. As nice as the flavor was, it didn't feel super balanced to me, as the focus was leaning a bit too far on spice rather than a balance with spice and aromatics. I also think for the price, this dish isn't really worth it. I think you can get this exact dish with more balanced flavors and a bit more lamb at similar restaurants on the Eastside for cheaper. I think with most dishes at this restaurant, taste ranges from decent to good - unfortunately nothing amazing. I am also trying to compare this restaurant to the many other amazing Szechuan/Chinese restaurants in the greater Bellevue area, which there are several. I do agree with some of the other reviewers, it is gentrified Chinese food and the quantity and quality does reflect it. Hopefully things look up after the initial set up of the restaurant.

Parking is really easy, just find the purple elevator on P3 because that's the most direct path to get there. Make sure you bring your parking ticket to be validated at the end. I think it's for 3 hours. The place looked so familiar when I walked in. They really didn't change the interior from when it was sugar factory. The layout is the same with the chandeliers and everything, they just painted the walls white and got red curtains. But it felt classier because of the dimmer lighting. The menu was on a ipad and I really liked the design of it and how easy it was to use for ordering. I just wish they had something like a page number because I couldn't tell how far I was into it and it seemed like I was scrolling forever. Immediately after we ordered, the server came to check and repeat the order to us and I liked that. We ended up wanting to add the $15 soup using the duck remain and it took them a moment to come to us even though we had pressed the call for staff button. As I speaking chinese to the server, I couldn't tell if they understood me so I said the same thing in english again. We ordered a half portion of beijing duck. The meat was tender but the skin wasn't crispy enough in my opinion. We also got truffle fried rice, which was the highlight of the night. The stir fried water spinach had more stems than leaves and there was very little of it in terms of what it was priced at. I did like the garlic taste though. Then there was the sweet and sour fish. There was just too much breading on it for me to taste any of the fish flesh. The sweet and sour sauce was also really thick and it seemed like those pre packaged flavors. Then there was the cumin lamb. They pour some sort of cooking wine on the side and lit it with fire. Cool presentation but there was way too much cumin coating the lamb. I feel like the flavor should've been more immersed in the meat while mildly sprinkling the spice over it. Lastly, came the soup and this was perfect to wash away all the other flavors in my mouth.

Just a few weeks after they opened and it was running like a well oiled machine. A large menu with a number of great items. We ordered the dumplings to start, they were awesome. I had the coconut shrimp and the wife had the cumin lamb and everything was great, good portions and we ordered way too much food. Things I want to try next time is the Peking Duck and the smoked pork neck meat. Overall a good addition to the Bravern and very unique!

I went to Jiang Nan during its soft opening. It is a solid spot for Chinese food. The fish in chili oil packs a spicy, tender punch, and the smoked pork neck is super smoky and flavorful. Service is friendly, and the vibe is cozy in an upscale area of Bellevue. I'd give it a 4 out of 5, no question.

Came in near closing time, everyone was really sweet and attentive. Was welcomed by many workers with a kind smile. Food was delicious, tasted clean and fresh. The duck and flank was extremely tender! Although I must say, the crème brûlée was a lot sweeter than expected.

Another welcome addition from New York. The Flushing NY location has been a staple for me for a long time, so I was super excited to see them open up in Bellevue. For a soft opening, everything went very smoothly. Their cumin lamb, short rib, and Peking duck were standouts. The service was quick and very attentive, which was impressive even in soft opening phase. The actual restaurant design is a little interesting, it looks like a movie set and very different than the New York location. Highly recommend Jiang Nan and it is a welcome addition to the ever expanding Chinese food options on the Eastside.

Very highly priced items as you are paying for the experience. The decor was good and the place settings looked unique. Service was average at best. The lead servers were good but they were hard to find. The servers that bring the food out have no patience and want to just drop off the food and go. One guy nearly spilled one of our dish because he just dropped it on the table. The food was good overall. Our favorite was the Japanese tofu. We ordered the duck and instead of bao, they give you a crepe. The duck was a bit dry and was just a bit bland. We enjoyed the rice noodle and the truffle mushroom fried rice. The steamed soup dumplings were horrible. I can get better dumplings at Costco's frozen aisle. Not likely going to be back.

As a Chinese chef, The food is very average . The branding is positioned as high end luxury, but the quality is fake luxury . The service is just ok. Staff not really trained about food .

Jiang Nan is the Chinese restaurant we've all been waiting for! For many years, the Greater Seattle Area had only 2 "upscale" Chinese restaurants: Baron's and Peony Kitchen- both of which serve good, but Americanized Chinese food. Enter Jiang Nan - authentically purist Chinese cuisine with an extensive menu. Located at The Bravern, the aesthetic of the interior is on brand. The prices are even similar to some of the rundown restaurants in Seattle Chinatown. Every dish is delicious and beautifully presented. The quality and refined flavours are reminiscent of dining in China. Our group of 12 experienced outstanding customer service. Ming, who is in Bellevue temporarily to train staff in the newly opened location, looked after us. He and his team served with so much heart and sincerity, it felt like family. Jiang Nan will be our go-to dinner destination for the for foreseeable future. They are a wonderful addition to the restaurant scene. I feel less of a need to make frequent trips to Vancouver, BC for Chinese dining!

Really enjoyed my dinner here! Perfect spot for a date night or dinner with friends and families. The food was delicious and packed with flavor and came out hot and fresh. Service was great too.

Authentic Chinese cuisine. Cozy and beautiful environment. Attentive servers who keep filling up my water. Friendly servers explain the dishes very well

Though online reservations are still unavailable, we were able to obtain a Sunday lunch reservation for a small group simply by calling ahead. When we arrived, the main room was nearly filled with guests. As soon as we were seated, small complementary dishes of Sichuan pao cai (preserved vegetables) were laid out which reminded me of my grandmother's recipe she would prepare every summer. We sampled the half order Peking duck, shrimp with honey walnuts, braised pork belly with black tea sauce, tofu with crab meat, and sautéd water spinach. Each dish was served hot and were all plated nicely with smaller portion sizes. We had ordered 2 bowls of white rice which oddly arrived last after we had tried all the dishes. The Peking duck was excellent by Seattle standards and slight downgrade to very good by Vancouver B.C. standards. The pancake wrappers were the most authentic I have seen in Seattle/Bellevue and thick enough to hold several pieces of duck. The onion slivers were a bit dry and I would have preferred fresh green onions. The crabmeat tofu and pork belly in black tea sauce were exceptional with leftover sauce available to mix with the rice. We enjoyed the soft opening and will definitely return to try their seafood dishes and hopefully other items listed on their East coast menus.

Literally one of the worst experience in Bellevue. So many things went wrong during my visit. 1. The food isn't that great, many dishes taste like panda express food, but less heated. Its obvious that the food is from preserved and frozen packs, which cost 1/10 of the price they sell them for. 2. The waiters and waitreses aren't trained. They served a big hot pot over a toddler's head, without any realization how dangerous it can be. 3. In the end we wanted to get the left over to go, they offered to do it for us, then they forgot to pack one dish... Overall it's a very bad experience and I do not recommend it to anyone. It's not real Chinese food, it's panda express level food. Youd think you are paying for the service but no, the staffs are trained.

Five star rating YES Ambiance Five star Food delicious Servers professional Not really that expensive It's next to Louis vitton Definitely a place to go Place was a little crowded on Saturday My friend and I were the only Americans

A fancy place for some Chinese fusion food with local ingredient, the environment and the service are awesome!

Got Father's Day free drink! Very clean and nice place with delicious food reminding me of my hometown.

Went there during their soft openings because I've been to their New York restaurant before,m. The price was unbelievably reasonable consider their taste (decent and I like the Shanghainese fusion) and location (bravern). Service was really nice

For a place that is/was on the Michelin recommended list-I expected more.the signature duck (Peking duck) was very ordinary. I expected the duck skin to be crispy but it was not. It was like a roast duck that you can buy at any Chinese BBQ place. Very disappointed

We went in here with very high expectations and this place fell so flat, the food was a huge disappointment for my family and worse off this was Father's Day, what a waste of time and money. The wait staff was non existent, they had iPads for menus and assumed we all wanted to touch their dirty iPads, they didn't once bother to ask if we had questions on the menu and I had to ask if someone can help explain the food options, mind you this was our first time here. They didn't even have wooden chopsticks as options and basically force everyone to use their plastic chopsticks.The food was just below average, expected way more for this place. The chicken skate dish was over populated with over fried chilli and like 6 pieces of fish, the white fish soup was lacking in taste, Again for the price of the entrees averaging about $38 I highly recommend you go somewhere else. We certainly will never be going back to this restaurant. They didn't even offer us parking validation

Was not a great experience. The wait staff was not trained at all and the food was very mediocre. I've had much better Fuzhou food in Beijing. The ambience was OK, but I've seen so many restaurants in the same spot fail... ...你觉得要不要试试别的？这附近还有很多其他不错的餐厅

"Working" as a Hobby. Knowing the restaurant had recently opened, we thought it may busy, but we decided to chance it and arrived around 5:10 PM on a Saturday evening. We walk in to see the lady was already on the phone, too busy to even acknowledge us. After a few minutes of being ignored, I saw the waitlist stand and put our name on the list-- we were third. We were surprised that it wasn't very busy for a Saturday evening for a new restaurant. The two tables in front of us on the waitlist were seated relatively promptly. While we were waiting, a family walked in, just in time for the lady to be off the phone. The actual seater returns, but there was a huge emergency that one of the male staffers couldn't possibly handle-- there was a reservation! He was either lazy or incompetent, where she had to handle the situation. Observations while we were still waiting: we noticed that a group male staffers (five) were far too busy chit chatting with each other to do any actual work. When we thought we were finally going to be sat, the reservation party came out to lobby to take photos... with a professional photographer and lighting, the whole nine yards. Then the family who walked in after us was seated. We were ignored the entire time. We decided to leave, and out of courtesy, I wanted to let the lady up front know to take us off the waitlist... but alas, she was on the phone... again. I walked past a male staffer who made direct eye contact with me, yet refused to acknowledge me, as if my presence was a severe inconvenience to him. Clearly, my low stature as a dining guest pales to his importance as marked by the earbud/headset he had on (the ones you see servers at Din Tai Fung wearing, but there was an actual point for DTF servers to be wearing them). Jiang Nan is not busy enough to warrant those earbuds, but we make ourselves feel important somehow. I can't help but think this restaurant is a bit racist. I am Asian and my husband is Caucasian. Yet the family of Asians who walked in after us was seated before us. They essentially rolled out the red carpet for the reservation party to take photos--also Asian. I surmise they couldn't care less that we walked out. We finally received our notification that joy of joys-- we were next to be seated! I received this notification after we were sat at another restaurant across the street. Things worked out well, as the restaurant we did dine in was delightful. Jiang Nan is considered a "Michelin Star-Recognized" restaurant; it's lucky for Jiang Nan that service is not one of the considerations, as "working" here is just a hobby for the front of the house staff. I've actually worked at a restaurant and if I treated guests the way this staff treated me, the restaurant would have gone bankrupt in months. As another reviewer observed, this restaurant will not last long, Jiang Nan will be lucky to last two years. Do not waste your time here. You can get better versions of these dishes in the International District.

Love their food!!! So exciting to have a spot to go to in Bellevue. Servers are very friendly and welcoming

The Peking duck wraps were thin and well-made, and the soup was flavorful, which were the best part of the meal. But judging by the price and location of the restaurant, the service was surprisingly poor. With the exception of couple of staff, it felt like most were either untrained or just didn't care, or both. You'd get better service at a food court.

Really like this new restaurant. High end Chinese food. Their Peking duck, roast lamb etc are all quite good. Service is high quality and the servers are patient. Good for dating and celebration.

There's an abundance of great Chinese restaurants in the greater Seattle area, but Jiang Nan distinguishes itself amongst those; It has a unique blend of elegance, authenticity and earnest hospitality. The food has consummated the relationship between high quality ingredients and years of experience with cooking; Simple but executed well. An upscale spin on a beloved family members cooking. It's apparent to me that Rachel has managed this restaurant very well; getting all the components of this restaurant flow and complement one another.

It is an interesting new restaurant located next to Hermès. The tasting is actually not bad. I just feel for a high-end Michelin winning restaurant, they must pay more attention to the details, including the service, furniture, dinnerware, etc.

Taste good, service good, ambiance on point. Great place to enjoy a bite after taking your girl(s) shop till her knees drop at the Bravern.

We went for an early dinner. The atmosphere wasn't great, but that's probably just because we were there so early (~430). We got braised beef, rolled pork belly, and half a duck. The beef was good, but there were many pieces of pure cartilage I genuinely couldn't swallow. The pork belly was delicious, but so oily that it was hard to eat-I could feel my stomach turning after the first bite. The best dish was the duck, which was definitely delicious, but not actually half a duck. It only had the breast meat, no leg or such. They also charged for plain rice, which is crazy. Overall, the food is decent, but by no means worth such a steep price point. Quite disappointing.

My partner and I were hoping to enjoy a peaceful and cozy dinner at this newly opened restaurant. We were seated at table B8, as indicated on the ordering tablet. I mention this specifically because I strongly advise against sitting at that spot if you want an uninterrupted dining experience. There was a food runner named Michael--nothing personal against him, but his service left a lot to be desired. He appeared very inexperienced, possibly new to the job. Each time he brought out a dish, he would place it on the work counter right next to our table and repeatedly ask questions like, "Which table is this for?" or "Whose dish is this?" His hands were shaky while carrying the food, and it often felt like the plates might fall. I only know his name because other staff members called out to him. It felt like he had trouble remembering table numbers or orders--either the kitchen didn't include tickets, or he was simply struggling to process them. Every time he came out with a dish, he would stand right beside our table and ask where it should go. By the end of the meal, we had memorized half the menu just by overhearing his repeated questions. I truly hope the restaurant provides proper training to new and inexperienced staff. It's understandable to be new, but his constant presence and confusion disrupted what was meant to be a quiet dinner. Imagine trying to enjoy your meal with someone hovering right next to you the entire time, asking where every dish goes. The overall experience could have been much better with more polished service.

I've been waiting for Jiang Nan to open in Bellevue, I heard it's pretty popular in the East so I had check it out as soon as I heard they were in soft opening. The place has a sleek fancy vibe with the lighting and decor, definitely a step up from a typical Chinese spot. Food-wise my favorites were the braised pork meatball and the stir-fried cauliflower. The meatball was super tender and flavorful, finished half a bowl of rice with it. The service was also great, way more polished than I expected for a soft opening. Overall, a solid first impression. Can't wait to come back once they're fully up and running!

Authentic and delicious. priced well considering the location and level of service. Every dish we tried was easily better than any other Asian restaurant in the area.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, there was some confusion with our reservation. Once we were seated at our table for two, I immediately wondered how three to five dishes were going to fit on such a small table. Thankfully, the couple next to us finished, and our server was kind enough to move their table to connect with ours. I had been told by friends that this was a Michelin-starred restaurant, but based on my experience, it was far from that. I was very disappointed with the timing of the dishes--there was a 10-minute gap between each course, which caused the food to seat at room temperature on our table. The first dish, hand-peeled crab meat, was delicious but seemed oddly placed as the first course. Next, the steamed black truffle pork soup dumplings came out. They were juicy with only a subtle hint of truffle, though the disappointment came when they didn't bring the correct spoon for soup dumplings. We ended up using a standard spoon you would get at a Korean restaurant for soon tofu. Then came the stir-fried shredded cabbage with pork belly, which was crispy and cooked perfectly. By this point, the crab meat rice dish had already cooled down. Finally which should've been the first dish, the chef's choice 1/2 Peking duck was served with an additional tofu and veggie duck soup. I asked for a new plate, as the cabbage with its sauce and the soup dumpling sauce made it difficult to eat. The server brought a soup bowl more suited to a Western restaurant, which didn't quite fit the theme. As for the Peking duck, it was decent, but not nearly on the level of the Michelin one-star Peking duck I've had in Vancouver, BC. The final dish, a sweet jelly with coconut milk, was the highlight of the night. Flavorful and nutty, it was a satisfying end to the meal. Overall, the theme of the restaurant was a bit confusing with elegant chandeliers hanging and tile strip floors. The flavors of the food were decent, but I left feeling underwhelmed. It's disappointing that a chain restaurant like this struggles to create a lasting impression for its diners at this location. I'm sure with time, improvements will be made, but for now, it didn't meet expectations.

Was here with a group of 5 for lunch on Sunday. They gave us iPads to order which was a bit confusing at first. Our server, or I believe she was the manager, was very sweet and helped explain how to order and was very informative on the dishes. Really enjoyed the Beijing duck, pork belly and fried rice. Great recommendations and accommodations to our dishes. Service was super nice and very attentive. Definitely will come back to try the mapo tofu and grilled fish!

The food is no good, tastes very bad. Service ok, the environment is just so so. You might be very disappointed

Bad food and bad service. Duck skin is not crispy at all, taste and looks like left over. No offense
