Editorial Review for Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Most patrons are regulars and comfortably dressed in kick-back attire. Some take tables in the front room, but many head toward the back dining room and take a stool at the dumpling bar, where a cook continuously forms and steams the dumplings (jiao-zi). Specialties include tea-smoked duck, green-onion pancakes, salt-and-pepper prawns. House-made noodles and steamed dumplings, authentic clay hot pot and crisp, battered and fried eggplant slices in sugar-vinegar-soy sauce are also offered.

I took a friend to Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon after reading the review in the Seattle Metropolitan Magazine since I am always looking for good neighborhood places around Seattle. After reading the other reviews of Snappy Dragon here on this board I was a little weary about trying it but did anyway. I am glad that I did now. First thing you will notice upon entering is the friendly wait staff. They were very helpful in offering their recommendations when asked. We ended up ordering the pork dumplings (Waiter Rec), the Snappy Dragon Chow Mien, and the Pineapple chicken w/ cashews and pea pods. The food was delivered to our table in record time and was nice and hot. The dumplings were super and the dipping sauce was great too. They also came with a small side dish of some spicy chili paste that was super spicy that went well with the normal dipping sauce. I ordered the chow mein with made to order hand cut noodles and it was absolutely wonderful. It is not like the plain old chow mien noodles that you get at other Chinese places. The pineapple chicken was also great. A new taste from your regular Chinese restaurants. Slightly sweet that went great with the chicken and cashews. All in all I highly recommend the Snappy Dragon to anybody looking for a fun new place to get good Chinese food that is not typical run of the mill that you can get at the 100 other Chinese places in the city. If you are looking for Chinese food that you would get in Hong Kong, like one of the reviewers states that they were looking for, you will need to keep looking. The last time I checked the Snappy Dragon is in Seattle and in no way do I think that they portray that there food isn't Americanized. I actually can't believe some of the bad reviews of this place because our experience tonight was all together great. The prices were great for the amount of food that we received. The wait staff was friendly and I will be going back soon!
Pros: Great Food, friendly wait staff, great price for the amount of food you receive.
Cons: That I hadn't found out about this place before today....

My fiance and I have been searching out the Chinese restaurants in N. Seattle since we moved here almost a year ago. We tried this one for the first time recently. It's a bit far from us, so I doubt we'd order there often, but when I get a craving for American Chinese food, this is totally the place I think of now. The fried rice was fantastic, the sweet and sour pork was cooked almost perfectly (only a few smaller tough pieces, which is a miracle with Pork) though the sauce is a bit strong, and the price (while not cheap since it was dinner) was not outrageous for the amount of food. The white rice was a bit on the dry side, however. I will admit that I haven't tried any of their more exotic Chinese dishes because that's not what I was looking for, but the food we had was great, there was plenty of it, and the service (we picked up takeout) was good from what we saw.
Pros: Huge portions
Cons: Dinner can get pricey
