A dim, low-key neighborhood hideaway serving hearty Chinese classics and cocktails in a moody, red-lit lounge.
Description
Tucked away on a quiet Kirkland block, this 40-year-old hideaway pairs a speakeasy-like dive bar vibe with corner booths, background music, and a Buddha statue nestled into the seating. While the small barroom easily looks like a place strictly for mixed drinks or a mezcalita, the kitchen turns out generous plates of hot-and-sweet crispy beef, salt and pepper shrimp, and potstickers with dipping sauce. Service is conversational and hands-on, though patrons note occasional variability in wait times and portion sizes.
