Fu Lin - Seattle

The restaurant may not have much curb appeal, but the lunch special is outstanding, featuring exceptionally high-quality food. I tried the Mongolian beef lunch special, which was the best cut of beef I've experienced in Chinatown—really tender and flavorful. The lunch special comes with soup, two small samosas, some sweet pickled carrot or beet shreds, a small serving of rice, and a delicious salad with what I think was a sesame dressing. While the entree portion is likely smaller than what you'd find at other restaurants, the quantity of the accompanying items and their excellent quality more than make up for it.

Fu Lin offers authentic Japanese ramen that truly impresses. Having lived in Japan for five years, I can confidently say that this is my Japanese wife's and my top choice for ramen in Seattle. The owner has extensive experience, having lived and worked in a ramen shop in Japan, so he really understands the craft. No matter which ramen you choose (they're all delicious), be sure to also try the gyoza, which is served in a paper style. Plus, the prices are quite reasonable!

This place is not your typical Chinese restaurant; it reminds me of the Chinese eateries in Japan. The food is excellent, the prices are reasonable, and I've always experienced great service. I especially enjoy the bentos and the ramen. If only I worked nearby, I’d come here all the time!

Great ramen for a great price. The broth is savory and salty, and generous portions are given. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Their ramen is the best in the whole region. Its reasonably priced and tastes better than other places that charge almost twice as much.
