Gan Bei 21 and up

This is a hidden gem! We loved everything we ordered. It’s well seasoned, cooked to perfection food. Very comforting with a homey feel. Would love to try the eel clay pot next time.

3/19/22: Really loved this space. Staff was friendly and food very good. Singapore noodles, fried chicken, crab fried rice, chili won ton, and calamari.

Only had drinks, but the prices were fair, the drinks were delicious, the service was solid and the food smelled delicious. I'll have to go back for food.

It is not hard to find good,. interesting food in the ID. What is very hard, almost impossible, to find is a place with character, charm, and genuinely good service. Gan Bei is the epitome of all of these things.

The signature style bar in Seattle is tiny, and this spot def falls into that. About 8 barstools, 3 tables in the front, and another 2 in a small back room, this is the definition of cozy.

Didn't try any cocktails, but there are a couple drafts; local and the obligatory Sapporo, but they have Steigl Earlier so I will always have a go to beverage.

First time I tried the wings, the wontons in chili oil, and the crispy rice noodles. All were solid, and the wontons were great! Finally a place that gives the proper amount of chili oil (it should look like soup).

Def will be back to try the specialty fried chicken and gravy. They look to have some sold specials daily; switching from drink to food night by night.

I've been there twice and it's absolutely pleasant experiences. Staff are super friendly. People sitting at the bar are chill and seem to know the staff well.

The food is absolutely great. I ordered the yellow curry fried noodles （黄咖喱炒面）, hand-shredded chicken（手撕鸡）, mini rice rolls （虾米肠粉）, clay pot eel rice （鳝鱼煲仔饭） and stir-fried veggies (炒通菜). Every single dish is delicious. Even my boyfriend, who's a non-Asian eater, liked them a lot. You can clearly tell the material they're using is fresh. The cooking is very well-done. I'm not a Cantonese but I can still tell the effort they put into hand-shredded chicken, to make the chicken skin juicy, soft and taste like jelly. This place is the only place I found so far in Seattle that has eel rice, and taste so delicious.

I highly recommend this place to anyone who's interested Chinese, especially Cantonese food. It was a surprise to me why it's not crowded already, given the quality of everything.
