The most authentic dumpling and noodle soup in Seattle! Cheap too! Service is fast, parking is iffy since it is street parking only. Don't go on weekends, especially Sunday! The dumplings are a generous size also, much bigger than I am used to growing up with homemade dumplings!
You can tell how good the wonton noodle soups are going to be when you can smell the delicious broth/soup (i.e. shrimp roe) from across the street. A small but very popular restaurant we waited about 30 minutes at lunch time. We ordered a few bowls of wonton noodle but rather than choosing the traditional egg noodles I got the thick rice noodles (one of my fave noodles). Congee seemed like a popular dish here so we also ordered pork liver congee to try. The wontons were on point and had a good mixture of prawn and pork just the way it should be. Soup was tasty of course. The congee was okay but nothing out of the ordinary. Mike's Noodle House is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
If you like simple HK style noodles, this is the place to try. It was a rainy and cold day, so it was a good day to try this. The special fish ball soup was very good. The fish balls are actually filled with fish roe and minced garlic, and very hot. Best way is to bite off the tip first.
One of my favorite places to go for soup and congee. My favorite is the pumpkin congee. I actually like the serving size; it's not too much. Frequented this place throughout my childhood, and is still a good place to visit.
I visited Mike’s noodle when I had craving for Cantonese style wontons and could not conveniently be in Vancouver BC. The wontons were pretty big with thin wrapping and small crunchy shrimps plus nicely marinated, peppery, tender pork with a little fat. The soup, however, seemed to have changed from what I recalled. Mike’s noodle’s congee, or rice porridge, was also one of the better ones in the Seattle area. Not too runny nor too thick, it was creamy with very simple flavors. I liked the fish congee with tender fish fillet and ginger; and the version with creamy thousand-year old eggs and well salted pork.
This is my go to spot for congee in the Seattle area. I have never been disappointed with the cod congee here, except for when they run out. For those who are not familiar with what congee is, it is soupy white rice dish also commonly known as porridge. Doesn’t sound too glamorous but it is great for those cold, dreary, rainy Seattle days.
Mike's Noodle House in Chinatown, Seattle is my favorite place to get quick and cheap congee and noodles. Consider this place like Vancouver's Congee noodle house but much smaller. My regular meal here would include an order of fish or perserved egg and pork congee , an order of wonton noodles and an order of tripe to share with friends. Yes, tripe, an order of boiled trip comes with cilantro, ginger, and boiled lettuce with a side of spicy soy sauce. This is the only place that I'd order and eat tripe at, mostly because they have great crunchy texture and that they don't taste funny. The wontons in wonton noodle soups are always delicious. The filling has very nice pork and full sized shrimps. You can order the noodle soups with 3 different noodle sizes. I like mine with thick noodles. This place never disappoints, especially when you have a hangover. If you are looking for a nice bowl of congee in Seattle, this is probably one the best places to go. [Show as slideshow] [Vie
Cheap, good quality meal!. Lots of people come here for noodles, but I love their congee the most! Best congee I tried at Seattle!
Hot and tasty. Came here early (about 9:45 AM) to avoid the usual crowd. Tried their "beef brisket and wonton noodle soup." Great comfort food, though, in my opinion, the broth had bit too much soy sauce. I did love that the noodle soup came to the table so hot that it was, at first, difficult to eat. That's the way noodle soups should be served.
Not an overly friendly service, but quick and efficient.
I will return to try other noodles and congees for "breakfast."
I luv the congee. I luv the congee and need to try other stuff when I go... but never seem to get around to the other stuff!! fyi... Cash only!!
This shop is very small but their food won't disappoint you for sure.
We got beef brisket noodles, beef, and wanton noodles. Meat is so soft and flavorful.
This place is CASH ONLY. Don't forget to grab cash before going there.
We would love to go back to another menus.
I been to this location 13 years ago and have been a fan since. A true hole in the wall that fits 20 people. CASH ONLY.
If you are from Portland, Kenny's noodle house is the Portland location, owned by a different relative or something. The menu is exact.
This is a fairly authentic Cantonese style restaurant.
I recommend the wonton. It had a good mix of shrimp and pork. The soup is more rich and not a common flavor.
The beef brisket is quite tender. It is the fatty kind.
Their congees have a generous portion of meat compared to most places.
The soymilk is whatever.
They do expect you to make up your mind quick since they want to turnover tables quickly. Overall there is no service.
Come here before 1130 if it is a football Sunday weekend! There is no place to wait but outside. They don't have texting system to notify you.
Authentic cash only noodle and congee shop in the middle of Seattle Chinatown.
Our fav Cantonese noodle and congee place in town. The braised beef and tendons are the best. Also highly recommend the fresh fish balls - chewy, tender and so rich in flavor.
Tip: get cash before you go… there are no ATMs nearby and they don’t accept Venmo.
We hadn’t dined in for long time due to the pandemic. We ordered squid ball beef brisket noodle soup $13, special fish cake noodle $13.5, mixed meat congee $12(pork, liver, kidney & stomach). The quality is as good as before and they were all tasty, very authentic Cantonese style! Highly recommended.
This small and tasty Chinese restaurant is awesome. My friend and I walked in and ordered a bowl of beef soup to eat. This is like the most memorable place I have ever been. Feel like I'm in Hong Kong or back home in Asia. Because of the food, people, and the friendly atmosphere. I'm hungry and what about you??🤤🤤
Cozy, quick, wonderful. Stopped in for a hot lunch on a cold drizzly day. Was grateful to be seated quickly and order swiftly all to the tune of classical music. Good prices, good portions, made right infeont of you.
Please bring CASH. Mike’s Noodle House only accepts cash. There is Bank of America nearby for you to withdraw cash.
The four of us ordered the Plain Congee, Pork Liver & Kidney Congee, and Clam Meet w/ Preserved Egg & Salt Egg Congee, Chinese Donuts, Sui-Kau Noodle Soup, and Handmade Fish Balls & Fish Cakes. My favorite was pairing the plain congee with the Chinese donuts. Our waitress wasn’t nice nor rude - they were ok. Overall, our experience at Mike’s was good and memorable. The food was tasty, and the atmosphere was cozy.
i usually do not review places on google. but this had the best congee i ever had in my life. Please try the century egg clam meat congee! it is amazing! i love this place. If i ever visit Seattle in the future i will definitely come back again!
- sending appreciation from singapore!💗
No riffraff, just fire Cantonese dishes without the fuss. Constant dripping faucet seen through the kitchen window is very authentic. Wonton soup W/ beef brisket, ADD EXTRA wontons, is my go-to! *** If you’re ever in PDX, try KENNY’s NOODLE HOUSE, which is their sister (brother) establishment! Fantastic! Soup’s on! …and you don’t need a coupon!!!
This place surprised me with how good it was inside Seattle's Chinatown. The Pork and Preserved Egg Congee was delicious as well as my Beef Brisket Noodle Soup. Although it's cash only there they give you your money's worth there. I left there full which is a great thing to feel when you leave a restaurant. The next time I go to Seattle I'll be returning there to try the other food options they offer.
