The signature pink interior has very little décor, while large, round tables encourage family-style dining. Chef Hua Te Su, who apprenticed in Taipei, adheres to classic techniques, but doesn’t restrict himself to tradition. His constantly evolving menu features noodle choices such as hand-shaved rice, corn or barley green noodles for chow mein. Cold appetizers include spicy cucumbers or braised bamboo, while a warm starter is the barley green pot stickers. The soupy dumplings are messy to eat but a favorite: filled with a combination of minced pork, shrimp and crab, they explode with flavor. Main courses feature scallops or shrimp coated in white pepper and chicken breast in a sweet, tangy strawberry sauce. Don't miss Su’s ice cream du jour for dessert, in such flavors as honeydew, sour plum, dried longan and lychee. Also located at 524 Sixth Ave. S., 206-625-1688.
