Wild Garlic Chinese Restaurant

"Have lived in Fairwood area since 1999, Wild Garlic never disappoints. It has been through a few different owners over the years yet always seems to live up to good expectations. General Tso chicken a favorite as well as Broccoli Beef. Mostly do take out as the interior does need updating."

"This restaurant is a gem in Renton's Fairwood neighborhood. Recommend this place for delicious, authentic Chinese food! My mom even comes up from Pierce County just for this restaurant - and y'all know how hard it can be to impress a Chinese mama. Tonight we ordered the mapo tofu (we order this almost every time) a fish and fried tofu dish (first time trying and it was SO good), the garlic eggplant, and the Mongolian beef (not pictured be we ate it too fast). Everything was stand out! My favorite was probably the fish and tofu dish that came out sizzling, but it's honestly hard to pick a favorite. Also you like eggplant, seriously don't skip out on the eggplant! I’m salivating thinking about this dish. They of course also have the standard orange chicken and such. They also have an awesome lunch combo with those American-Chinese options that we sometimes get too. It's also very good. Sit down service comes with free tea. Unless you're getting a combo, you do have to order rice separately with entrees. Service is pretty basic but very fast - our drinks were never empty. What more can you ask for when just looking to eat delicious food. Atmosphere is fine - clean and a good temperature, warm lighting. Highly recommend eating family style so you can try more dishes! I don't bother reviewing places often but really love the food at this place. Five stars for sure."

"Used to be our go to Chinese place ate there probably once a week but it changed owners like a year or more ago. Been there a couple times since and food isn't the same quality different recipes that are nowhere near as flavorful and portions are smaller as well... also had the same experience as another review who said they were there first but another table was larger and (Asian) was served first and checked on more.. not sure if they were being racist towards non Asians or catering to the larger check but sure felt like it. Won't be going back"

"Wild Garlic has become one of my favorite restaurants. This is one of very few places in the Greater Seattle area where I can get authentic Cantonese dishes. The restaurant is quite small but I love it because I think we get more personalized service that way. When it is busy, the kitchen may be a bit slow but quality is never compromised so I have no problem even if I have to wait a bit once in a while. I really appreciate the consistent quality dishes produced by them. Unlike many other Chinese restaurants, Wild Garlic does not have a tank for live seafood. Patrons can bring their own live seafood, and have their kitchen prepare your favorite seafood dishes at a nominal fee. I have not been disappointed thus far. Support local small businesses and give them a try!"
