Facing East Time – Downtown Bellevue is a must-visit if you’re craving authentic Taiwanese food in Bellevue, WA.
I visited several times on different days and these are the items I’ve tried so far:
The Taiwanese Seafood Pancake was a good smaller appetizer or snack size portion: a pan-fried seafood pancake made with shrimp, oysters, squid, eggs, and vegetables—crispy on the edges and tender inside.
The Pork Chop Bento was well-rounded, served with white rice, pickles, a fried egg, a side dish, and vegetables—a complete, classic bento that hits the spot.
I ordered the Five-Spiced Braised Chicken Leg Quarter and The chicken was tender, The braise tasted light and savory, it was oven fried at the end providing for a crispy finish and the portion was a good sized
And the Pumpkin Braised Beef Ribs Bento was pure cozy comfort, and very satisfying : slow-stewed beef short ribs with creamy pumpkin, hearty and full of that warm, rich, savory flavor you want on a cool day (also served with white rice, pickles, a fried egg, a side dish, and vegetables).
Their wok-fried roasted peanuts are so good — they’re prepared fresh daily, with that a perfect toasty aroma and crisp crunch, lightly seasoned and seriously addictive.
If you’re searching for the best Taiwanese restaurant in Bellevue, especially downtown Bellevue, this place delivers on taste, quality, and a satisfying bento-style meal. I recommend it!

The new-ish “Facing East Time” (FET) in downtown Bellevue is a return to dine-in from “Facing East” (FE). The original FE is a full-service restaurant with table ordering. During/post the pandemic closures, FE moved to a small place on Bel-Red for take-out only (still there). This new FET is an eatery with self-ordering and self-busing. We arrived at a quiet time, and we ordered via a staff member. When the restaurant became busy shortly after, that same staff member directed all customers to order at the tablet by the door. The tables are small and limited with maybe 20 seats total, including bench seating. This eatery is not good for a group hang-out especially during mealtimes. We have not been to FE since they became take-out only. We are happy to be dining in again even in a small eatery at FET. Please note FE and FET have different menus.
Two hours parking is available in the same Brio building after registering with the parking app.
The Food:
Taiwanese Bao Burger, $8.50 – 5 Stars
Menu: Braised pork belly on a steamed bun with pickled mustard greens, sweet spicy sauce, crushed peanuts, and cilantro
This is one of their most popular dishes and a regular item for us. Definitely recommend.
Crispy Chicken Burger, $7.50 – 4.5 Stars
Menu: Crispy Chicken with Taiwanese-style golden cabbage kimchi
Be sure to see the photo of this burger. The bao bun is the same size as the Taiwanese Bao Burger. Two sizable pieces of well-seasoned chicken with veggies make this a surprisingly substantial and filling bite.
Taiwanese style braised beef noodle soup, $13.95 – 4.5 Stars
Menu: With pickled mustard green, green onion, and cilantro
This is a commonly must order for us. Tender beef, substantial noodles, bok choy, and beefy broth made this a good meal by itself.
Pork and Taiwanese cabbage house-made wontons, $7.50 – 3 Stars
This is a small dish with five pieces of wontons. They taste good, but I can make these at home easy enough. Won’t order again.
Popcorn Chicken w/ Five Spice, $6.95 – 4 Stars
This is from the small bites menu and a popular street food. These were good, especially with the dipping sauce, which we had to ask for more.
Classic Taiwanese Milk Tea, $5.95 – 4 Stars
With black tea and milk, this was a smooth and not-too-sweet beverage. These are pre-made; no adjustments are allowed.

Truly a surprise! We got the classic beef noodle soup and honey glazed bbq pork. Starting with the soup, very rich and homey. A little more on the richer side compared to my preference but the noodles and beef are well seasoned and cooked. The bbq pork was truly spectacular in savory sticky sweetness. A little fatty but normal which paired excellently with the mustard sauce and pickled veggies.
The milk tea was very delicious as well, classic tasting that pairs well and washes away the greasiness at the end of the meal.
Would come back again if ever craving. Note they have a parking garage with validation too! Street parking is difficult but nice to have a garage option.

All the dishes taste really good. The bento has a good look and a perfect mixed flavor. Beef in noodles is so tender. A little bit spicy but ok for both of us. Will visit again.

It’s not bad! It’s not super authentic or anything, but the prices are good. We ordered beef noodle soup, the seafood pancake, pork chop bento, and popcorn chicken. The seafood pancake is like a super gentrified Taiwanese oyster omelette – the real version is usually chewy and with lots of variance in texture, but this one is more homogenous and crispy. It’s still good, but not authentic. The popcorn chicken is not bad, crispy and tender, but needs more five spice. The pork chop bento and the beef noodle soup are both just alright. Good prices, and good location. It’s alright. 6.5/10.

I had the Beef Noodle Soup (small) and some of their handmade wontons w/ pork filling. Very rich and hearty , its hard to come across comforting Taiwanese food like this nearby.
Price is fair, I like that they have different portions for their noodles if you wanted to enjoy some noodles and wontons.
Atmosphere is very cozy and its self order through their kiosk. Definitely a great place to stop by for some lunch if you work nearby. I used to order online from them through their Bel-Red location so they are definitely a Bellevue staple.

Facing East Time never misses! The popcorn chicken is super crispy, the beef noodle soup is comforting and flavorful, and the sesame noodles are just really good. Solid spot when you want something warm and satisfying. Always happy eating here.

Small joint but perfect for quick bites or a fast sit down. This place is super tiny with 17 seats. Loved all the Facing East food and enjoyed this joint as well. Order 2 bentos and a noodle. Extra $5.50 for the milk tea.
Quick to serve and food are delicious. Popcorn chicken-like bento, Taiwanese noodles and pork chop bento with the milk tea.

The food didn’t taste authentic. We tried the beef noodle soup—the beef itself was decent, but the broth was completely flavorless. And I’ve never seen beef noodle soup served with broccoli before… As for the bento, it honestly felt like something you’d grab from a convenience store in Taiwan lol.

The interior is really clean and the staff member was nice. You order at a kiosk and the food comes out pretty quick. The beef noodle soup was good, it wasn’t too spicy and i liked how the broth wasn’t too salty. The black sesame milk was really tasty: it was creamy and I loved the sesame flavor (it wasn’t too sweet).
