Fu Shen — Restaurant in Seattle

Went here for dinner this evening. Got seated right away, ordered, and got tea. Then a middle aged black couple came in and also asked for a table. They were told the wait would be well over an hour. They left. I got my food about five minutes later.

I tried to ignore it. But then the same thing happened to a young black girl not twenty minutes later. She came in and asked for a table and was told that the wait to eat would be well over an hour. Like the couple from before, she wasn’t offered an apology or a menu to look at or a place to sit among the many open seats. She was told that the wait would be very long and that was that.

This line was not given to myself or any of the white or Asian families that came in while I was there. The rest of us were welcomed and seated immediately and fed as you would expect in any modestly busy restaurant with seats yet to fill.

The food wasn’t bad at all. But I won’t...

Owner is very pleasant. But please lets be clear on what kind of food this is, this is not traditional Chinese food, but American food. This is kind of food was created by chinese immigrants to cater to westerners. Now if thats your thing fine, but any comments about it being chinese/traditional are just wrong. This style of food was created in the US between 1950-1965, for people who liked meat and potatoes, gravy, hot dogs, tv dinners and burgers. I myself didnt eat any of the food ordered because just "Hell No", but my wife and her parents ate it. It was average at best for what it is! Funny part is I'm the white guy in the family and I literally hate food like this. I love traditional Sichuan, Cantonese and Hunan, food like this is nothing but fast food for people that dont know better. But if you want big portions of bland white people style chinese...

Seriously one of my favorite places in town. The house special hand pulled chow mein noodles are fantastic. Really, really amazing. I always get them and the ribs appetizer. My 2 year old loves the egg flower soup. While the food is delicious, what you really need to experience is the hospitality. The fantastic woman who owns Fu Shen is one of the most kind, engaging and gracious people I've ever met. I could order deliver but I never will because I don't want to give up the wonderful interaction we have every time. She loves my son and has been feeding us well before he was born! She knows me when I call in my order and always asks about my family while sharing hers. I can't say enough about her kindness. Come for the food. Come back again and again for the food and the wonderful people. You can't...
