Julie’s Garden

I love everything about Julie’s. The food is quick, cheap and hot… I’ve been knowing Julie for years now and this is my preferred place to go and have prawn pad thai, or phở. OH! And, her chicken wings with sweet and sour sauce is off the chain!!! If you’re in the Pioneer Square neighborhood, you should try it, you won’t regret it…

I can not believe this place has 4 stars. That’s the same number that Ding Tai Fung has. WTF!!! Anyway this place is not good, mediocre at best. Cheap, poorly made Chinese/​Vietnamese. Service is fast for lunch and people are nice.

Great food and fast service. My coworkers and I get this for lunch every month or so. They’re very accommodating to allergies as my coworker has celiac. Highly recommend their general tso’s chicken and their egg rolls are great!

This is was the best phở I’ve ever had! (and I’ve had a lot from all over the country)

This place is packed for lunch during the work week! I managed to get a table for and friend and I. Nothing really special to say about the décor, I wouldn’t have gone here if it weren’t for the reviews I’ve seen of this place. My friend got the L-​11, Mongolian Beef and said it was mediocre at best. She asked for five stars and it wasn’t that spicy, she also mentioned it wasn’t «authentic» and tasted like it had MSG.
I purchased the Deluxe Phở and I would say for a Deluxe Phở (Meatballs, Meat, Tripe, Flank) $ 9 isn’t bad. One thing I did like about the Phở was how hot it was (I typically like my Phở piping hot). Other than that, I would say the Phở is above average, definitely better than Phở Cyclo Café close by but not as good as Phở Than Brothers.
Personally for me, I would make the jaunt to another Phở joint in the International District or Long’s Provincial any day of the week.

The food was very good and well priced.
They were closing early due to the early winter night, but were still open later than most of the restaurants in the area.

Nothing special. Decent Chinese food and decent prices. Having said that, I would order again when i’m in town.

Note to self: If you are not drunk it is not worth it. Even if you’re drunk it may not actually be worth it. Beware.

Julie’s is a nice little place, with consistently good food, and friendly people. It’s a great place to go if you don’t have a lot of time, or need something to go. Their phở broth is flavorful, and hits the spot on a rainy Seattle fall day. Get there early, because the place fills up fast.

As the great Ben Stiller says in Starsky and Hutch, «Do IT.»
Get the General Tso’s chicken dinner. «Do It.»
Have you done it? Because you need to «DO IT.»
That bird will slide down your throat nice and easy, with as many layers of flavor as it had layers of feather. You’ll find yourself with a complimentary fried rice, egg roll and fried shrimp. Your chicken too, of course, for a truly reasonable 9 bucks.
My only issue is the spice level of the also complimentary Hot and Sour soup. I like myself a manly spicy soup, but it just doesn’t cut it… It’s too damn sweet.
But hey, put some Sirachi into it and you are good to go. So, what are you waiting for? Julie’s a sweetheart. Pick up the phone and «Do IT»
(Chow mein is excellent too)

Fresh food, awesome service, great value for your dollar. For dinner I had the mandarin chicken and it came with soup, fried prawn and a spring roll for less than $ 10. Highly recommend!

Friendly and fast service! Food was DELICIOUS and flavorful. If you are looking for authentic Chinese food try Julie’s garden!

Owner is super nice, food is consistently good, and a regular stop for me for a quick lunch. Nothing fancy but I like it.

General Chow chicken crummy
$ 2.20 for plain Tetley tea
Tourist trap
Avoid. Go to Chinatown.
Julie do not like tip.

I really wanted to like this place. I am in Pioneer Square all the time, and always looking for new places to eat.
Chose this place based on the positive Unilocal reviews, but it definitely fell flat. We ordered hot & sour soup and General Taos chicken. The hot & sour soup was average, lacking some of the classic flavor and depth that I love, and the General Taos chicken was literally flavorless. I kept taking more bites hoping to taste something, but it was basically just crispy chicken. Strange.

Found this place since it was next to our hotel and it was a pleasant surprise.
Location: Pioneer Square
Inside: Several tables inside, more of an eatery.
Food: Mongolian beef were good but the surprise dish was the Mandarin Boneless Spicy Chicken. For reals, I would come here just for that. Similar to Peking Chicken taste (for those Korean Chinese food lovers).
Value: The dinner special was a great deal that offers: soup, appetizer, rice, and main entrée.
I know they offer Phở as well but did not try it.
If I worked or lived closer, I would probably frequent more to try the different menu items for lunch and dinner.
Overall, enjoyed our dinner and glad we tried this place out.

I usually only come here when I need a quick bite to eat during my 30 minute lunch.
I try to go after the lunch rush because it gets so packed and busy in there. I ordered to go from here once during the lunch rush and still got my food in less than 10 minutes.
The waiters are fast and the food comes out faster.
I tried their broccoli beef and Mongolian beef on the lunch menu. All lunch items come with a choose of hot and sour soup or the egg soup. I usually don’t eat the soup cause the food portions are big enough for me and the soup is just eh. It also comes with a egg roll. All for around $ 8 – 9. Not bad.
They also have tv so you can watch while you eat but if its busy. you’ll feel rushed to finish your food.
Next time I want to try their phở!
Come here if you want something quick and filling for lunch.

Yes! I’ve finally found a good Chinese lunch place in the Pioneer Square area. Far and beyond superior to Happy Garden. Avoid Happy Garden! Lunch plate comes with the American Chinese food traditional egg roll, entrée, fried rice, and egg flower soup (or hot and sour?), all for a total below $ 10, which is the line for me.
I had the almond fried chicken, which was savory in an interesting way, can’t quite place it. It was good.
Will update when I try a vietnamese dish.

Went here based on the Unilocal reviews. I love seeing food cooked authentically and within full view of the dining room. Gives me faith in the place that they don’t have anything to hide. I had veggie chow mein and my husband had tofu pad thai. Mine was delicious, although a bit oily. My husbands was a sweeter pad thai and he enjoyed it (I’m not a huge fan of pad thai, so I’ll take his word for it. Price was great and service was WONDERFUL, we felt like family there.
Thanks so much!

Cold and misty day in Seattle and we really wanted Phở. As we checked Unilocal to find the nearest places serving Phở on a Saturday afternoon, we found them to be closed although Unilocal said they were open.
We walked until we found Julie’s Garden. It was open and we were seated right away. We both ordered a Tsing Tao beer and our phở. My guy ordered the Rare Beef Phở and I ordered the Spicy Seafood Phở. I love both spicy and seafood, so it was a perfect choice.
The phở was really comforting and delicious, the restaurant had great service and we were happy to be warmed up coming out of the cold. I’m actually glad that we discovered this place after finding two others to be closed. It was the perfect phở lunch.
