Still amazing food and service. Nothing has changed. I love this place and if I lived closer I would come more often Both congee and wonton were so good. The service was prompt and excellent. Yes cash only but no big deal as it has been that way for years. Then why only four stars this time? After we ate we ordered one wonton noodle to go for my kid. It was packed in a minute which was good. However we found hair in the soup. Honestly this could happen but given this is not the first time the ladies in the kitchen behind the glass could perhaps do something about the hair. None of them were wearing the hair cap.

CASH ONLY! Delightful bowls of hot steaming noodles with varieties to satisfy any craving! I had the beef brisket bowl that had tons of tender chunks of beef in a super savory broth that I could not stop sipping. My wife had the wonton noodle bowl that was equally generous with the dumplings and noodles, with a lighter broth that was still very flavorful. This place is not very big so you're guaranteed a line if you don't get here early. But they get your orders quickly so it's not bad.

Cash only spot serving very homey noodle and congee dishes. Went here for the first time yesterday and I ordered the wonton and beef brisket noodle. I thought it was delicious and reminded me of something my mom would make. Decent wonton/beef brisket ratio to noodles. Unfortunately I did find a small curly hair in the beef brisket so that was gross. My boyfriend got the beef brisket noodle with vegetable and it came with soup on the side. The beef brisket tasted like it had an oyster sauce sauce. He didn't like the bok choy though and thought it tasted like dirt, so perhaps they didn't wash the bok choy well. Presentation was very nice, establishment was clean (other than the hair I found in my soup), service was also nice. You get free tea in a plastic cup. I liked that there's a window that looks into the kitchen from the dining room.

NOTE: CASH ONLY!!! The place is small but welcoming. They give you hot tea with your meal. Delicious and not at all what i expected. Service was great the server was so friendly and gave great recommendations. He suggested we get a special and I very much enjoyed it. The noodles are tasty and very filling. I would come back and try something different on the menu.

Classic noodle restaurant in the International District. It has been here a long time so the locals think it's good food. Mike's Noodle House is about as authentic for noodles as you can get in an area that's full of places like this. Gets packed full as soon as it opens, which is early. The options are limited for vegetarians, it seems. By looking around for noodle restaurants, we found out about it. It's one of the oldest in these parts. This has been here longer than the other Chinese restaurants around it, many of these. A few bad things about trying to order from here. They open early, at 10 A.M. if you can believe it, and within an hour every seat in the restaurant is taken. Asians around here need their noodles like crackheads need crack. The menu also has paltry plant based options it seems. It just has basically the Vegan Spring Rolls. There's none of the noodles to get, because of the meaty broth, but the stuff looks good though. For sure it gets incredibly crowded. It's like people can't wait until lunch to eat noodles. There's also not much for vegans and vegetarians.

Rapid fire: - Cash only. - Seated right away. - Food came out fast, hot, and was good. Friend flew to the states from China a few years ago, and moved to Seattle for a few months for an internship. Had been coming here for DAYS on end, so you know I had to try it myself. Doesn't matter what you order. Everything is good. Would definitely recommend getting the doughnuts and just dipping it in the chili oil.

Small, unassuming hole in the wall, but sooo good! Perfect comfort food. Noodles had a bite to it. Broth was hearty. Tendon and wontons were delicious. Must come back! Street parking was a little difficult, but we just had to make several rounds and walk a bit. Not a huge deal.

Mike's is legit. Your good ol' solid Chinatown noodle spot. Every state/region has at least one you can count on. The one everyone will rave about. And garenz it'll be a hole in the wall otherwise, is it even good tho?! Customer service and people skills will be on the lower end of the bar but who needs all that jazz when you're needing comforting Asian food? I'm not there for mamasan to butter me up, I want the good noodz! This is it. Whenever traveling somewhere new, Chinatown and Asian foods is always on my mind. I knew this was a must as everyone has good things to say about it. It's cash only so be sure to have paper on hand. Prices are affordable and portions are good. Seattle is a chilly town so noodle soup is perfect for this weather. The broth smelled on the fishy side but didn't taste overbearing. The brisket was so soft and the won tons were a good balance to lighten up the richness of the beef. Noodles were nice, thin and chewy... perfect soft bounciness. Nothing is worse than a soggy nood. Soup was steaming hot so you know everything is quick yet fresh. Mr G inhales most of his food and he had zero complaints about his tripe. We both agreed everything was absolutely perfect. Like I mentioned before, service is fine. Not stellar but not completely rude. Something about Chinatown aunties you just have to understand. Never cheerful, kinda grouchy but don't take it personal lol. Trust me, Chinatown aunty is a whole #mood. I noticed restaurants in Seattle always served lukewarm/room teml water. Similar thing in San Fran in some spots. I assume in the chilly weather it doesn't make sense to serve iced. I'm not used to that but it's alright. Can't quite remember if we got hot tea... bit of a staple in Chinese food joints. If you got soup then I'd say it's not necessary. Like your typical Chinatown, there's street parking all over. I'm sure it's either metered or pay by qr code signage. The place is small so prob not good for big groups. I want to say there were like 6 tables or so in total that seat 4 each. There is a window inside looking into the kitchen where you might be able to see your soup being made. But honestly it's really just a small kine ancient cozy Chinese restaurant vibe inside. I highly recommend and will definitely have a visit anytime we are in town!

Mike's has the best wonton noodle soup and preserved egg and pork congee. These are two items my mom and I order on our regular lunch visits. The wontons are a flavorful mixture of pork and shrimp and the congee is silky smooth. Tip: Ask for the spicy soy sauce with jalapeno for dipping. It's small restaurant and if we have had to wait, it's been brief. Cash only.
