Fan Tang Asian Cafe - Kirkland

Best rice noodle in Seattle area. It is very hard to find flat wide rice noodle. The beef noodle also taste good

It’s an almost self serving restaurant that you sign in at a terminal to order and pay. You also serve your own utensils and extra sharing bowls and plates at the station. It’s making sense to collect tips because the servers will bring your order and clean after you are done. The ambiance is pleasant and elegantly designed and very spacious. Only complaint is you have no option to control how spicy your food would be.

They make pretty good Hunan cuisine noodles. Good portion, the amount of meat was very generous. Our favourite was the pork strip noodles. I didn't end up taking a photo, that one is not spicy. There's a serve station for cutlery and vinegar etc, very convenient. We all got full from the amount of the food we ordered. Recommend!

The 12 Spice Rice Noodle soup was such a delight that we have returned 3 times in the last couple of weeks just for that! It’s the perfect winter soup. The Thai Pepper beef was spicy and delicious. The Mei Cai was nice, I’d like to try it again but preferred the Thai chili beef better head to head. The pork and pickled green bean soup was tasty too. The staff was nice but due to the kiosk ordering I didn’t really interact with them too much. While I can’t speak to the authenticity, I have been told by people who can that they enjoy it!

Pork (9/10) and spicy beef noodle soup (9/10) were both amazing. Noodles were very tender and fresh. Flavours very authentic. Pork flavour itself tasted like 鸭脖王 flavours!!
