Facing East - Bellevue

Prices keep going higher and the meat sizes are getting smaller. At least choose one negative thing to do at a time.. 15.50 for 4 small pieces of pork, 3 pieces of bok choy and rice is getting ridiculous at this point that's why I go back less and less. It used to be a weekly thing now I go back once every 2 months. Other places are on a rise with more moral prices

Facing East is a great place for Taiwanese food. I've ordered from here over 10 times and will gladly be back for more. Their beef and pork are some of the best I've had in Bellevue. I highly recommend the braised pork dishes, Taiwanese style pork burger, shrimp roll, and beef noodle soup in particular. The sauteed rice vermicelli, salt and pepper prawns, and sauteed slice lamb are also great but not quite as memorable. I didn't enjoy the Hakka style stir fry or bitter melon with salted duck egg (too bitter). Note that the location recently moved from downtown Bellevue to a couple miles east and no longer has indoor seating.

Well it’s nice that they have something able to take immediately so you don’t have to wait for long time, otherwise the wait can go up to 20-30 mins. The price are definitely affordable, which is nice. The drink are good, you can tell… well obviously it’s home made style rather than restaurant style.

Based on ONE journey to Facing East. The braised pork rice: very good. Solid pickle radish. Fatty pork. Nice side vegetable. I wish there was more rice, but oh well. Pork sandwich: good, 4 star. Bread is awesome. Pork is good. Ingredients solid but don’t like peanuts generally in this format. Eggplant dish for take out? Awesome. Most Chinese restaurants do a great job. I would get this all day. I haven’t tried the mango sago yet but bought it and we’ll see how that goes later. Overall: easily a 4.5 star rating.

Although the menu doesn't list many vegetarian options, most items can be made vegetarian upon request. I tried the vegetarian burger because I was craving some good gao bao and was a little disappointed by how dry the burger stuffing was. Felt very overpriced as well. I will probably look for other options next time.
