Very tasty traditional Taiwanese braised ground pork over rice bowl. Good sized portion for $6. Was surprised at how close the flavor was to the dishes in Taiwan compared to other local restaurants. Perfectly fluffy steamed Taro buns. Good, efficient service. Clean and spacious seating. Will definitely be back to try their other Taiwanese style offerings.
Pretty delicious, fast casual Taiwanese fare. Good service, the food is authentic and the price is right, and the portions are sizeable. I am a fan of the spiced pork stew over rice, the house made dumplings, and the pork chop bento box. Highly recommend for a casual tasty meal.
As a Taiwanese, I really like here. Try their milk tea, 5-spiced fried chicken and guaw bao, all of them are tasty and delicious. Their good collection grab n’ go boxes are pretty convenient for lunch time during work days and remain the quality of the food. Heard they are the sister restaurant of Facing East in Bellevue. Guess they are the same owner. With the reputation of Facing East, I really trust they provide the good quality of food. The environment is also clean and comfortable. Recommend to step by for tasty Taiwanese food.

Came here several times for lunch. They have a limited menu of food items, but I really love their braised pork over rice. It's really good.
UPDATE: I think I just got a weird batch of beef noodle soup the first time I ordered. I tried a friend's soup when they ordered it and it was much more flavorful. Would get it again. Noodles were cooked through, much better than before.
The beef noodle soup - I asked at the counter what noodles were in the soup and the lady at the counter could not answer me. She asked co-workers and then still couldn't tell me even if they were egg or rice noodles, fat or skinny whatever. Don't know if it was a language barrier or what, but you should at least be able to communicate about the food or have the type of noodle written on the menu board. The broth itself lacked flavor for me, had no saltiness whatsoever which may be correct for the dish but not what I was expecting. Some of the noodles had been clumped during cooking because there were parts were the noodle was undercooked.
They are almost always out of the the 5 spice chicken.
PROS:
Pork Belly on Rice is great
You get your food quite quickly.
CONS:
Staff aren't always able to answer questions about food in English
No WiFi and Mobile Data in the restaurant is spotty
The 5-spice Chicken is never available
Awesome dishes served at this branch of Facing East. I’ve enjoyed Facing East very much when I was in Bellevue and was overjoyed to find their branch here! The food is equally good and the ingredients are fresh. I wanted to order everything on the menu!! Will definitely return.
The braised pork over rice is fantastic!
The noodle soup has a note of sweetness - be aware. The bubble tea is super sweet.
Nice staff.
Overall a decent place to get a quick bite.
Good food, somewhat authentic. Recommend the five spice chicken! Full of flavors. I got the pork belly bento box, & it was delicious! Soy milk tasted really weird, I would NOT recommend! Overall a good experience.
This place serves Taiwanese street food with some additional made to order items. It's not fancy inside but it's clean and pleasant. I enjoyed it. Beef noodle soup wasn't spicy but had pleasant flavor and the thick noodles were tasty. The popcorn 5 spice Chuck was very tasty. Both items were served very hot which I appreciated. Service was good and we were greeted when we arrived and thanked as we left.
I love this place! I can eat for under $10, like pork belly over rice is delicious and costs $5.95. The dumplings are amazing and so is the pork sandwich. They make their own soy and almond milk which is unique. I’ve tried both and they are not too sweet and have no chemical tastes like store bought. I also love being able to buy condiments in jars to take home, like picked cabbage, cucumbers, or golden kimchi. This place is a gem.
Super yummy food! It gets busy at lunch time but usually they're pretty good about getting the food out quickly! I had a mishap one day where they misplaced my ticket and I ended up waiting for a long time but their customer service is really good, so I'm definitely going to keep coming. I LOVE their dumplings, the chili sauce is so good!
Although the food here is pretty fantastic, I just have one qualm, which is with the cashier. I always order the Guaw-bao Pork Burger and the pork and veggie house made dumplings, and it's always delicious. But when I hand my credit card to the cashier, they don't hand it back until I've written a tip. This has never happened to me with any other restaurant, so it's a bit disconcerting every time I come here.. Otherwise, the food is fantastic!
My favorite thing to get here is the 5 spice chicken and the dumplings. They're both great dishes on their own, but man... Try dipping the chicken into the dumpling sauce! 😍. Beef soup is good too, but steer away if you don't like a bit of oil in your soup. It is tasty though, and even better with dumplings hehe. I can't speak to authenticity, but the flavors are good. One thing i wish they had is self serve water. They do a good job to always have water cups set out to just grab, but I hate having to take another cup if I just want a water refill.
Overall I was expecting a bit more, but it's a good place to try if you're craving some Taiwanese dishes. I've tried the beef noodle soup (牛肉麵) twice here, and while the beef and broth are good, the noodles have been consistently firmer than I'm used to. The Gua Bao are pretty good, but the portions are small.
