"This bare-bones strip-mall Chinese joint should put a big sign out front: OUR WINGS ARE SPECIAL. They’re so crispy that there are crispy bits of batter loose in the takeout boxes, and you’ll be eating those bits when you’re done gnawing your way through the juicy chicken. There’s no sauce here but that’s fine, whether you get the spicy or garlic versions these wings are loaded with flavor." - Eater Staff
"Call up Sunflower Garden for a quick little takeout order, and don't be surprised if you're quoted an hour wait. Stick it out for some of the best Chinese food in Seattle. Their wontons in chili oil have a white pepper kick, burst of sweetness, and juicy pork that fuses to each dumpling wrapper. We could eat a tub of those alone and call it a meal. But that'd be ignoring the General Tso's chicken, complete with huge thigh pieces that involve more meat than crackly breading. Or the steak in their beef and broccoli, which chews like it's been tenderized by Glinda The Good Witch wielding a sledgehammer. (The Wizard Of Oz would have ended a lot differently if that were part of the book.) Only an hour for that? Worth it." - aimee rizzo
"This Greenwood spot is one of our all-time takeout favorites, and that’s in large part thanks to their wontons in chili oil that we lie awake thinking about in the middle of the night. They have a white pepper kick, burst of sweetness, just enough spice, and juicy pork that fuses to each dumpling wrapper. Sure, it’s almost impossible not to slightly mangle their structural integrity with one tap of a chopstick, but that doesn’t matter. Order them anyway. " - aimee rizzo

"Call up Sunflower Garden for a quick little takeout order, and don't be surprised if you're quoted an hour wait. Stick it out, and then head to this Greenwood spot for garlicky battered chicken wings whose crunch could break the sound barrier. Along with tender meat, you'll also get handfuls upon handfuls of rogue batter crispies that are as iconic as the wing itself. Only an hour for that? Worth it." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
