Bothell's Hidden Gem Chinese Eatery — Xiao Chun She
📍 18105 Bothell Way NE, Bothell, WA 98011 This "Xiao Chun She" in Bothell is absolutely a hidden treasure I recently discovered! 🏮 It’s a cozy, family-style Chinese restaurant with authentic flavors, budget-friendly prices, and warm service—the kind of place you’d want to revisit again and again with friends. 🍚 🦞 Lobster Pasta + Black Pepper Beef with Mushrooms (Combo) 💥 Absolutely incredible! A must-order! This dish is a flavor bomb combo. The lobster pasta is rich and coats every strand of noodle, while the black pepper beef is wok-fried to perfection—tender beef with savory mushrooms. Two delights in one plate, truly the king of value! 🍅 Plum-Pickled Cherry Tomatoes 🌟 Stunning! The freshest standout of the meal! Perfect as an appetizer or a palate cleanser. The cherry tomatoes burst with juice, balancing sweet, sour, and a hint of plum aroma. So refreshing—it instantly awakens your taste buds! Who knew a small dish could be this outstanding? 🍗 Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Wings 👍 Delicious! Savory and crispy! Coated in a sandy, golden layer of salted egg yolk, fried to a perfect crisp while keeping the chicken inside tender and juicy. It’s the kind of snack you can’t stop eating, loved by both adults and kids! 🍜 Guizhou Rice Noodles & 🥚 Boneless Pork with Fried Egg 😌 Just alright. These two dishes were relatively mild. The rice noodles had a nice texture, but the broth lacked memorable depth. The boneless pork with fried egg tasted homely and went well with rice, but didn’t bring any surprises. Worth a try, but you won’t miss much if you skip them. 📝 Summary & Tips: Taste: 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ (4.5/5) Standout dishes, overall above average.
