We love this old school Chinese American food! Huge egg rolls wrapped in actual egg, and the sweet and sour is the best I have ever had, not gooey sticky, just sweet and yummy! Oh and the wonton soup...

Sometimes I have a craving for old school chinese food, the kind you would get before they things like lettuce wraps. They still make the chow mein with bean sprouts instead of noodles. The quality...

Wah Kue's is my first choice in chinese food. If I could afford it, I'd eat there every week. The owners know most of their customers on a first name basis. They will even sit and visit with us while we wait...

I have been going to this restaurant for over 40 years. My entire family has always gone to this restaurant and loved it. They know us by our first name and always greet us when we come in. It is a great place...

This place is really good. You can dine in or take out. They have a great bar. The service is the top of the line. If you order the meals for groups, order one less than you need because the helpings are huge.

If your cheap and look first at price you are not going to be happy. Been going here since mid 50's and food is always good. Better from 4-4:30 pm or after 8 pm. If its crowded the food tends to be overcooked...

I've been going to Wah Kue's since I was an infant w/my parents! There is nothing to compare! What started out as a one room dining experience has grown w/the years. Their food is always very freshly cooked, to go or eat there! Their sweet and sour prawns are to die for along w/just about everything else! The people are wonderful, and very personable. I can't believe the owner STILL works there after all these years! I now live over 60 miles away, but can't find anything closer to even compare, so I make the trip each time! Hey, 47 years experience here!

Let me start with saying that I am not very fond of Chinese food. For the same reason I don't like spaghetti. I have been forced to eat it too often growing up. With that, even I must say this...

I ordered takeout from Wah Kue tonight without the aid of a menu (and, consequently, a price list) - BIG MISTAKE. I ordered a large won ton soup and regular chicken chow mein, thinking it would cost somewhere...

Anyone who lived in the Burien area during the 50s, 60, 70s knows about Wah Kue! I was raised on their food. This not food which was bought, prepared, ready to heat, from a food supplier! These people are...

Traditional Cantonese cuisine you remember as a kid. Real egg rolls, BBQ pork and sweet & sour spare ribs. They have been doing it right for 53 years. You won't be hungry 30 minutes later.

They have REAL sweet and sour spare ribs with the dark sauce. Not breaded with a red candy sauce. The fried rice is not loaded with grease and artifical smoke flavor or MSG. The barbequed pork is served with...

The Wah Kue Cafe is actually a restaurant & bar that serves the best Chinese Egg Foo Young in town. Everything they serve is fresh and tasty, and they will also make dishes "custom" for you at no extra charge!...
