Description: An enchanting Chinese restaurant with a lightly divey lounge in West Seattle.

Decor: Stained gray carpeting, festive red lanterns, plates stacked with lackluster but serviceable-if-you're-drinking Chinese appetizers.

Other wonderments: Karaoke galore (nightly, starts around 9 pm).

Karaoke's sad legacy: Daisuke Inoue, a lowly cover-band drummer, invented the first karaoke machine, but neglected to obtain a patent and consequently made little money from his idea. (Some estimate his lost fortune to be around $150 million.) Following a years-long plunge into obscurity, he finally emerged as a salesman—his specialties include detergent and cockroach repellent.

Happy hours: Daily 2–6 pm.

Happy-hour drink specials: A rotating weekly schedule of drink discounts, from $1 off Jägermeister drinks (Mon and Sat) to $1 off Red Hook (Thurs) to $1 off Jameson whiskey drinks (Sun).
