Furi Chinese Restaurant

Food was ok, salty. To be fair i have eliminated salt in my diet for over 4 years so a lot is salty for me but not for most. Otherwise vegetables are very fresh and they don't use msg- huge plus! Also, its affordable and close to me so i still go there.

In short:An old-school (i.e., Americanized) dependable Chinese place that has probably cranked out thousands of plates over the years. Your grandparents would have loved it, and if you're in the mood, you will, too. Super friendly service and reasonable prices.In long:It's easy to see why they've held such a great rating, even if they're not doing much on the menu that nods to real traditional food. They're in a big supermarket parking lot with plenty of free parking, and there are plenty of tables inside. The decor runs to that red and gold pseudo-Chinese stuff from back in the day. It's friendly and homey, especially if you went to family dinners at the local Chinese place when Chinese food was still a hot new trend. You get water and hot fresh tea very quickly, along with a two-sided laminated menu printed in color. You get white paper napkins and forks before you even sit down. The tea was pretty damn good, and they have many other flavors on the menu. We checked out a little of everything from the old favorites. There are hot pots and a couple dim sum items, but mostly it's the greatest hits of Chinese food in America for the last 50+ years. BBQ porkThis is the same dish at a lot of places you go, right down to the mustard/ketchup combo and dish of sesame seeds. They do offer nice thick slices, and I happen to like the stuff that all comes from the same distributor. One of these days I'll finally remember to ask for all mustard, no ketchup.Hot & sour soupMy late mom loved this so much that both us kids have a lifelong love of it. This one is not amazing; it's a lot of thickener and not much seasoning, even with a red pepper next to it on the menu. We resuscitated it a bit with chili paste from the condiment jar on the table.Beef with chili beansBeautifully cooked--tender, decent flavor. Sauce was kinda thick but the vegetables were crunchy still. Ate every bite. Emptied the chili paste jar here and got more.Green beansSo good. Fresh, flavorful, cooked just to done without going over. Decent amount of garlic. Juicy dumplingsNot house made. Kinda like the frozen soup dumplings from Trader Joe's--which are pretty good for late-night snacks, by the way. Good with chili sauce. We were out the door for 5 plates and a generous tip for about $70. It's a little bit of a haul for us, or we'd come back more often. The people are so nice, and sometimes these childhood-memory dishes are a treat, especially when they're done this well.

Awesome food, awesome service, friendly ambiance.I love this restaurant and hope more people find out about this slight "hole in the wall" gem.

This is an area I don't get to often, that said, I had a really bad date here about 20 years ago, this lot looked to be the same lot, but it was an Italian restaurant we went to that day, and I didn't see an Italian place, but it was kinda dark and hard to see. The rating for this place is high, too high for a place I never heard of and now I can give you my unfiltered review. This place is nowhere near 4 stars, even 3 stars is generous in my opinion. Service was both fast and friendly, but the food was anything but memorable, at least in a positive way. The Hot and Sour wasn't hot, at all, and was really bland. It did wake up with a little soy sauce and chili sauce, but that was just heat and salt, it was missing that rich chicken broth bottom. I will say, most places give you about 4-5 ounces of soup, this place serves at least 8-10.I had the Mongolian Beef and ordered 5 stars. When I said 5 star the servers face brightened up like I had given them permission to make the dish the way it was intended to be made. When the dish came, I didn't see many chili's which made me question if it was 5 star. It wasn't even a single star. It's clear the kitchen completely ignored the 5-star prompt. This also wasn't Mongolian Beef, it tasted like teriyaki. It was so sweet, it ruined the dish. I know Becky from Edmonds can't handle heat, but the traditional way this dish is made it's hot and spicy, not bland and sweet. Again, the people could not have been nicer, but the meal was a huge letdown. I've been to Chopsticks up the street, and the meal there was much better. I had hoped to have found and underrated gem, but this place is probably closer to deli Chinese like Safeway, it's not real restaurant quality. This was seriously a 1 star meal, but everyone was so nice I'll give a bump for kindness, that said. It's time to infuse flavor in you menu.

I've been looking for solid Chinese restaurants near where I live that don't cost an arm and a leg. For the most part, Furi delivers! I was surprised to be the only person there on a Saturday afternoon. The service was prompt and friendly. I had the hot and sour soup and the Chicken Chow Mein. The food was very good. I didn't know I could order the dinner special at lunch, which may have saved a little money. Still, $26 for lunch after the tip is a little spendy. Overall good joint, try them!

The best Chinese !!! The house fried rice is packed with so many good shrimp, beef, chicken..... the fried shrimp is delicious. The garlic green beans perfect! The calamari is a family fav too we love it all

Food 3/5Service 4/5Ambience 3/5Ordered takeout here and got the following:Singapore Mei Fun. We had a combination of beef, chicken and shrimp. We asked for mild and it came that way. A little greasy. OK for leftovers, I might try another noodle dish if I went back. Walnut Shrimp. Medium to large shrimp in a creamy sauce atop shredded lettuce. It was OK. Pork with tofu. Not quite what I expected. Instead of being shredded, there were large chunks of pork, triangles of fried tofu, carrot strips and other veggies. Sauce was tasty. It reminded me more of Moo Goo Gai Pan than how I've had this in other places. I had to wait a few minutes upon arrival to pickup but payment was quick, with a handheld credit card machine. Lots of parking in a lot shared with Ace Hardware and Pancake Haus. I might go back if in that area. The tofu egg mushroom dish looked interesting in other reviews.

Terrible service experience. Whatever you do, never visit or place an online/phone order with this restaurant on Christmas Eve (or any busy holiday). They accept way too many orders and cannot handle the backlog. I made the mistake of ordering by phone on 12/24/2023 at 5pm. They said the food would be ready in 40 mins. I showed up to the restaurant around that time and it was completely packed, with a line of people to the door waiting for pick up orders. It was nearly impossible to speak with any of the restaurant staff due to understaffing and communication barriers. Everyone in the restaurant was waiting for their order. The staff made it seem like they were working on my order, but after over an hour of waiting I decided to cancel my order if they hadn't started cooking it yet. After more back and forth, and disorganized chaos, I was finally informed that they had lost my order and I was waiting for nothing. They made no attempt to rectify the situation or even offer an apology. I left rather "hangry".

been coming here for about 2 years now! love the egg flower soup and chicken fried rice, i share this place with everyone i know. the owner also remembers me and always says that its nice to see me! its usually pretty quiet and not many people, but i have seen it a little more busy before. highly recommend Chinese furi!

So,so disappointing. After reading all the nice reviews, I was expecting good food. Not so. The food was tasteless. The prawns on the top of the fried rice were not fried but boiled or steamed and had an obnoxious texture. The service was poor and I saw seated guests walk out.We waited a long time before finally asking for our check.Just.....don't...
