What to Eat in Seattle
📍 Spring Bistro - Xiaochun House A unique fusion spot in Bothell combining American-style Chinese dishes with Hunanese cuisine. Rumor has it this place shares some roots with the famous Dongting Chun restaurant—so we gave it a try! The menu is compact—half American-Chinese classics, half Hunanese specialties. We ordered their signature Farmhouse Stir-fried Pork, Pulled Pork with Fried Egg, Sizzling Plate Squid, and a side of Egg Fried Rice. 🥢 Farmhouse Stir-fried Pork Flavorful and satisfying—the portion looks modest but eats well. The peppers add aroma without being too spicy, and the pork is tender and tasty. 🥢 Pulled Pork with Fried Egg Decent but not as memorable as the stir-fried pork. There’s a very mild pork aroma (which I didn’t mind), and the thin crispy cartilage mixed with meat added nice texture. 🥢 Sizzling Plate Squid Not a standout—the seasoning clung mostly to the onions and peppers, while the squid itself remained bland. It arrives as a whole squid, and you get scissors to cut it yourself ✂️🐙. 🥢 Egg Fried Rice Standard and simple—nothing special. 💡 Final Thoughts: Worth a visit if you’re nearby or passing through, but maybe not worth a dedicated long trip.
