Wah Kue Cafe

We haven't been back in well over a year, maybe even more. They use to be very good at Wah Kues. I really loved the sweet and sour ribs. But the last time we were in, prices went up so high and food went down in quality. The eggrolls that we got were sour, really nasty.... Our waiter didn't want to hear about it, just said he would bring out something else and hurried away. We couldn't finish the food and left. I paid for our soup and drink, they should not have taken our money, but they did, even after we tried to tell them about the problem we had with the food..didn't want to hear it. \t\nLast time there and will not go back.

My husband loves this place, he grew up going there. He also never had REAL chinese food before. This restaurant family if robbing the people of burien BLIND! This is the most expensive chinese food I have ever had. Safeway has better chinese food than this. Everythin...g is loaded with starch filler (like buffets), and comes pre-made by food service supply companies. The "bbq pork" must of come from arkansas. The "chow mein" has NO FORM of noodles. Gelatinous muck. Everthing is horrible. I would imagine the proprietors are laughing all the way to the bank. \t\n Read More

My family has been going to Wah Kue's since the early 60's. Everytime guests came to visit Wah Kue's was on the list of to dos. I have been all over the country and nobody compares to the food there. I will be coming home in June and the 1st stop is Wah Kue's then of c...ourse Spuds. The brown sweet and sour sause is as close to heaven as you can get. I would take it home in a bucket if I could. The Chow Mein is to die for!!. Can't wait. Last time I was there I had to make a delivery in St Louis on my way back to Detroit. I am now in Vegas and nobody compares!!!! Read More

If your cheap and look first at price you are not going to be happy. \t\nBeen 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 and greasy. My favorite basic selection is #3 family s...tyle with special order of boneless almond chicken and Cantonese style chow main with a side of shrimp with lobster sauce. Get the pork spare ribs with the bone that comes with the dark sweet and sour sauce not the breaded boneless with the red sweet and sour sauce. Then depending how many people are in your party order more sides as you want. If you don't buy any sides you have to order white rice since it does not come with the family style numbered dishes but there fried rice is the best. (put the dark sweet and sour sauce on the rice) You can order no MSG but if it is real busy it might be a big hassle. Best to eat in the non-booth side of the restaurant next to the bar. Read More

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 between $15-20 for the two. When my husband went to go pick i...t up, imagine both our surprise when the bill came to $27!\t\n\t\nPricing aside, the food's alright - the won tons were big and plenty in the soup, but the broth was a bit flavorless. As for the chow mein? Slightly better than what you'd find in the Safeway deli, but not exactly outstounding. The servings were decent, but certainly not worth $13 or more each!\t\n\t\nIn the future, I'll stick with restaurants I know to present a good value, like Mayflower of China in Southcenter...
