Facing East

Finally made it over here. Overall a place worth trying - especially for the braised pork stew over rice. yum (not sweet at all). Didn't hate anything, just didn't love it all.Also, be prepared to eat in your car or home....or the one table for two outside. We opted for car bc it was warmer and not in the rain. Overall, this place is too far from me and without seating to ever make it into my usual restaurant rotation.

They only do take out and can order online. The food tasted home cooked and order was ready within 20 minutes of ordering. Ordered the following:Spiced pork stew over rice - the spiced pork had great flavor, liked how the meat included pork skin, the pork to rice proportion was off and wish it came with more porkPig ear salad- thinly sliced and had good texture, the thinly sliced ginger was overpowering and made the dish not taste good Sauteed rice vermicelli - basic and not very flavorful Beef noodle soup - soup had great flavor, thin noodle was cooked well but nothing special, some pieces of beef were so chewy that they were inedible

We haven't been to Facing East since before COVID and we learned that they changed location and only do take-out now. We ordered several dishes and most of them were tasty: large spiced Pork over rice, five spiced chicken, five spiced beef shank (cold dish), pork chop over rice, and Hakka style chow fun. The beef shank cold dish was just ok, and the beef was too chewy for us. Pork chop was a little hard and overcooked. Other than that, we loved the rest, especially the five spiced chicken (which I forgot to take a picture of, sigh!). The Hakka style chow fun was also delicious, perfectly cooked. We will come back for more take out for sure.

Their braised beef and pork and their popcorn chicken is what they are known for and what you should get. Most other things on their menu is generally meh. Choose the dishes wisely and you will have a 5 star food experience. Go off the beaten path and you'll end up with generally subpar experience.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while! The online ordering process was very easy and our food was ready for pick-up when we arrived. I was pleasantly surprised that they now have a couple of small tables outside their establishment to eat at. Taiwanese Pork Burger: I loved how the peanuts tasted with the flavor of the pork and pickled vegetables. It was a lovely couple bites of food, and I would order this again. Large Spiced Pork Stew over Rice: I really enjoyed the flavor of the spiced pork, very delicious! There was plenty of rice to soak up all the flavor goodness as well. While there isn't a lot of "food" other than rice in this dish, it is pretty worth it for the cheap price. Beef Noodle Soup: There is a lot of beef in this dish, enough to share between 2 people. The noodles weren't quite cooked through though, there are still parts of the noodles where the strands didn't separate when initially cooked and parts were still relatively dry/uncooked -- even after soaking them in the soup for a while. Additionally, for people with very low spice tolerance, the "no spicy" level of spice might not be low enough for you. The flavor of the soup and beef was delicious, though!

This spot doesn't have space inside to dine in. However, there are a couple of tables outside where you can sit and eat. Service is quick and friendly! We ordered the following:Taiwanese pork burger: DELICIOUS. The pork is so tender and perfectly cooked. I love the sweet peanut crumble on it!5 spice beef wrap: I think this needed a bit more sauce, but it was goodlSteamed pork and vegetable wontons: Really good! The wonton skin is al dente and these are pretty big!

I haven't been home in a while but I was shocked to see that this restaurant is now a take out only small joint next to an auto shop. In its full glory it boasted 2 hour wait times and was always bustling with loyal patrons. The food is still good but takeout isn't the same as eating in store. I am nostalgic for the restaurant that once was.

The Hakka style Chow fun is good but the soy flavored chicken was gross. Half of the chicken was cartilage and bones, totally did not expect that. Overall I'd get the Hakka style chow fun and avoid the soy flavored chicken. I just threw out the soy flavored chicken

Some of the best take out in Bellevue. awesome Taiwanese bistro menu. My favorites include the spiced beef wraps, the 5 spiced chicken w/basil, the stir fry string beans and salt and pepper prawns The current location is take out only as you may remember them from the eat in diner near Bell square but now they are in an old strip mall in the Bel Red corridor

One of the best pork burgers. All the crunchy little nuts and sauces that they put on. It just gives it a burst of amazing flavor. They have lots of other great dishes, but that one just melts in my mouth.I miss being able to sit at the restaurant, but the takeout is still a nice option. They also have some fun items in the cold area including juices, and desserts.
