Spicy Chong Qing — Restaurant in Kent

You order by scanning the QR code therefore the servers don't even ask for your order. They just bring water or hot tea at the table. The food doesn't taste as good at all. I've had many authentic Chinese food and their food is not tasty at all. The rice is sold separately so when you order anything it doesn't come with rice. The hot tea was warm not hot at all. My friend does not know how to use chopsticks so I asked for spoons and fork. The spoons and fork had greasy feel like it was stored in an open container collecting dust that resulted in the sticky feel to it. I tried to wipe with table napkin but was still gross. I just used my chopsticks. I was still at our table while my friend went to use their restroom and the guy already started busting our table without asking if we are finished eating or if we want to take any food to go. They didn't do any customer service at all and yet when we paid the bill and didn't add any tip on the receipt the cashier last forced us and insisted on tip. The cashier lady told the guy who already touched the last plate that had the beef broccoli that he was about to throw in dirty bin to put it back on our table because she is waiting for my friend who use the restroom and I to give tip first. They were very rude, shameless, unsanitary place to it. I can't believe this place expect tip with poor customer service. The cashier lady probably thought I didn't speak or understand Chinese just because I was speaking in another language with my friend. Too bad I understood what the cashier lady was saying. Lesson to all races, please don't assume people don't understand your language. Some people like me who are mixed race are multilingual. I will never eat again at this...

i have been to many, MANY different small, non-fancy chinese restaurants in my chinese-born american spoiled rich little baby life. most were mid of course, probably because i don’t enjoy anything spicy, leaving only a small portion of the menu available for me to try.

but this place… this place was totally different. and not in a good way… when we got our food, we immediately noticed the drop in quality from what we were used to with these typical chinese restaurants. one of the dishes was so utterly inedible that it caused my poor elderly father to double over and nearly throw up his entire digestive system onto the restaurant floor.

“what’s wrong?!” i cried out, as i rushed over to him.

“this dish…” he coughed and groaned to me, with tears in his eyes. “in all my sixty years of living, eating chinese food almost every single day of my life, i have never tasted a single dish that was as suspiciously disgusting and strange tasting as this one. the oil…” i watched as the light left his eyes. “i fear that may have just been my last meal. goodbye cruel world…”

i would rather drink straight from a polluted swamp than take another bite of food from this cursed...

Rating for Chong Qing Style Fish, basically kind of boiling Tilapia fish in a large flat plate. A little bit overpriced (however all food price going up these days), $29.99 for basic, +$5 ($35 total, no reason for different fish sizes, in my opinion) for large fish. It was really really delicious, especially for whom from Szechuan China or like Chinese hot spicy food.

The so called "hot-spicy" is pronounced "Ma-La" in Chinese. The "Ma" is from those small green Szechuan vine peppers, producing a numb feeling at tone and melting down the "La" (hot) from red chili peppers. The "Ma-La" represents most of famous Szechuan style, comparing to dry-hot (Hunan, China) and sour-hot (Guizhou and Yunnan, China) cuisines.

More and more authentic Chinese food come to Great Seattle area. May not be able to compete with California (e.g. Irvine and Bay area) yet. Typically for such restaurant opened in 99 Ranch Market shopping mall, which collects some best cuisines, if not the best brands. There was actually another hot fish (Buerjia) in the same shopping mall but not opened due...
