It was Monday night so we didn’t wait too long, but it did take longer than most restaurants. The pickled long bean with smoked pork & sizzling lamb plate were flavorful and big portions, good value. Will stop by again only when they are not busy.(menu as of 2024 March)
One of the best Chinese restaurant in Bellevue ! Must try!
The bao was very dry throughout. The chongqing xiaomian 重庆小面 was not authentic at all and put authenticity aside was just not a good noodle dish. Even one of the aunties who work there told us she doesn’t think it’s good. Of course she only said that after we refused to even take it home. We arrived soon after they opened at 11am, and most tables including us did not get any food until 40-50 mins later while we witnessed all the take out orders being picked up. We overheard one of the aunties asking tip from a guy who came to pickup the food, when he asked for chopsticks, claiming “it took us a lot of effort to pack these food up”. Little garden claim to be an authentic Hunan restaurant, but it is not.
Good taste and menu Bad service attitude
This place is known for bad service including long wait but we tolerate it for the decent food at good value (for takeout only). But today the second server lady was pressuring people to add a tip for takeout. And shaming people who didn’t. Get real, tipping for takeout is nice but definitely not the norm. After that she threw our food on the table. That’s a new low for bad service that I cannot tolerate
That old lady didn't respect my girl friend and kicked us off. What a pity!
Dapan ji, mapo tofu and sizzling beef are a must have
