Snappy is a favorite restaurant of ours - we visit regularly. David, the manager, is always curteous and friendly and caring. The waitstaff - after they've been there a while - are excellent at keeping your drinks topped up and your rice bowl full and fulfilling all of our strange food requests. And they never ever get snobbish when one dines on appetizers only, month after month after month! Nor do they ever blink at requests for dietary needs.
The food is always delicious ... and trustworthy! We know that the chicken meat will always be all-white, fresh, high quality, and cooked fully. The dishes will never contain "mystery" items, will never be coated in "gravies" or "sauces" like at strip-mall restaurants. They will never stoop to deep-frying something as a last resort ... the only things fried are a very few items that Americans have grown to love (general tso's, eggplant, fried wontons).
The green onion pancake is perfection - light, crispy, flakey, many-layered, a bit greasy, and oh so delicately onioned. (In delivery/takeout, the pancake suffers from sweating in it's own box. Baking in the oven on foil seems to crisp it back up, but at the restaurant is best) The jao-zi are light and steamed for just the right amount of time, and have evolved over the years from a very highly spiced or sweet filling (with no warning as to which it would be) to a filling that is balanced, and allows the wonderful dipping sauces to complement it instead of being overwhelmed. The pot stickers have seemed too large lately, we've become fans of the smaller steamed dumplings, but once in a while it's nice to have them again. These two both travel well for takeout. The won ton soup is always delicious, sometimes we have seconds! The soup presents itself with a lovely chicken broth with a great taste - instead of relying on added salt or other "tricks" for taste. Take-out wonton soup is not as good - seems to get all the settled bits from the pot. Though one of our friends likes that even better! The barbecued pork suffers from overcooking sometimes, and they have taken to making it on fewer days of the week - so sometimes the meat is obviously "tired" already and should never have been served. The quality of the cut of pork seems to vary, also ... best results have been Wednesday early evenings.
The vegetable and meat dishes travel well, always use fresh, clean, healthy ingredients (no bruised or damaged goods), and the portions are generous. Our favorites are the asparagus in black bean sauce, the dried sauteed string beans, the tofu dishes, the mongolian chicken, kungpao chicken, and on and on.

Snappy Dragon can get very crowded, so we usually just get take-out. Our favorites are the Mongolian Beef, Chow Meins with homemade noodles and assorted seafood, and the Mushu’s with pressed tofu. The Hunan pork is very tasty. There’s a bunch of deep fried stuff that is soooo tasty but unfortunately a little heavy—General Tso’s Chicken and Spicy Eggplant (same sauce as General Tso’s), and Sesame chicken are among our faves.

After years of hating chinese food my boyfriend convinced me to try Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon. I went in expecting to hate the expierience, but the food ended up being delicious enough to change my mind. I would recomend Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon to anyone - whether they love Chinese food or hate it! And according to my boyfriend they have the best moo shu pork(sorry if i misspelled that!) he has ever had!
Pros: Inexpensive, Location, Delicious!

Mama Fu as she is called in the area offers an excellent menu, fast service and a staff that knows and respects their customers. The excellence is proven by the lines of people willing to wait for a table. Mama Fu teaches her staff humility and service to the patrons by her own example. Delivery is swift and reliable even in the iciest weather. We prefer to call in an order for pickup just to get the warm greeting that is offered when we arrive.
Doug
Pros: food, service, promptness
Cons: parking

The best Chinese to be found in Seattle! Judy Fus has great food, both take-out and eat-in, and the service is fast and friendly. Everything Judy Fus offers is tasty, and they have quite a cocktail menu too. You can also get the tasty sauces to take home. Dont miss the homemade noodles.

two times consecutively my delivery took over 1.5 hours. when i called to complain this last time, the owner told me he would cover my bill but to never order from snappy dragon again. this is a far cry from the level of service when judy fu ran the shop. you decide if this is the type of service for which you would like to pay.
Pros: delivery, food is pretty good

Up until a few years ago we would get takeout from Snappy a couple of times a week. It was always great. in the last few years the quality of their food has gone WAY down. All of the entrees are incredibly greasy and the last time I ate there I wasn't able to even finish a quarter of my food because it was so disgusting. I wish they would read these reviews and take them to heart. Please bring back the old Snappy!!
Cons: , uncomfortable seats

Thought I'd try this place and will never go again. While the wait staff couldn't have been nicer (or more all american), the food was not very good. Portions grossed our whole table out, sauces were heavy and sloppy and it just wasn't authentic. The only dish that got good reviews at our table was "ants on a stick" - a noodle dish. Head to the ID and get Chinese food in its proper environ.

We ordered a seseme chicken for take out and when we reutrned home to eat it, it was the most fake and disgusting thing we ate. The dish was a BRIGHT RED color and the breadin gof the chicken was soggy and falling off. The chicken was mushy and way too chewy, it felt like rubber, and the sauce was tastless. Very disappointing and will not return.The portion was small and overpriced.
Cons: , overpriced, tasteless

I ate at Judy Fu's yesterday for the first time, after hearing a lot of hype. We got there early enough so it wasn't too crowded. There were 5 of us and we ordered- Salt and Pepper Prawns, Ginger Beef, Mongolian Beef, General Taos Chicken, Cashew Chicken, and Shrimp Fried Rice. It was all delicious!!! (Especially the Cashew Chicken- the best I've EVER had!) I can't believe the reviews I read about it being bland and tastless, it was very flavorful, and both of the beef dishes were VERY spicy. I've had better General Taos, and I'm not a big fan of fried rice, but even those dishes were fresh and delicious. The dining room was kinda cramped, and the service was only okay, but I would still recommend it to anyone based on the yummy food!
Pros: fresh, delicious food, nice portions
Cons: , a little pricy, mediocre waitstaff
