Tai Tung Restaurant

"Our family has been going here for over 20 years. Great food, visit Bruce Lee's table he sat at and the wall of all the famous food critics visitors. It's a restraunt set back in time well worth the visit. The only place I can find legit fried rice WITH bean sprouts."

"Given the history behind Tai Tung, I was excited to give it a try especially after reading reviews and looking into the charming old-time Chinese restaurant. I’m sad to say that while the restaurant is authentic, the flavors were underwhelming. I ordered a wonton soup, which is staple menu item at many Chinese restaurant. The broth tasted quite literally like mildly flavor water. We also got the special fried rice which was a tad dry, and the quarter duck which was the best thing we tried. While the atmosphere felt like a cool step back in time, I’m disappointed by the quality and taste of the food."

"Most likely not the earliest Chinese restaurant in the area, but definitely the longest-running still in existence today! Since 1935, till now! If you just came over from taking one of the guided tours at the Wing Luke museum --HIGHLY recommended-- you may have noticed that one of the restaurants mentioned was this place! You walk in, and you're greeted right away. Kind of a dark atmosphere, but still pretty well-lit. Nice staff! Clean! Bruce Lee History Fact: This was Bruce's favorite place to hit up with his friends and disciples. He'd always order the 蠔油牛肉(Oyster-sauce Beef) I heard. So obviously, I had to get that too! Also tried their 椒鹽蝦 (Salt & Pepper Shrimp). They used frozen shrimp instead of fresh shrimp with the shells and the head. Different taste, but I don't have to peel away the parts with most of that flavor like the fresh ones. Not bad! Best of all, even though I didn't ask for the booth, there is a dedicated corner dedicated just for Bruce Lee, filled with his memorabilia and pictures on the wall. Next time I come back, I'm asking to sit HERE! It's not just a restaurant; it's a living testament to the cultural tapestry of Seattle."

"This food was the freshest most delicious Chinese food I've had in a long while. They also had my favorite dish, tomato beef chow mien, which I haven't been able to find in other areas. The service was great even if they were short-staffed. They had a busy restaurant and we still felt paid attention to. The history inside this restaurant is amazing. I highly recommend a visit to anyone in the area."

"This an old school Chinese restaurant with good food. Their dishes taste authentic and were served nice and hot! There are pictures of Bruce Lee in the restaurant. Apparently, he frequently dined here, which was cool to find out. Their hot and sour was the best."
