Eddys Chinese & American - Colfax (WA)

4 /5 Minh Hughes: 1st off, Im very picky about Chinese food and am very wary of places that advertise that they do Chinese & (fill in the blank). The places I loved in Seattle are long gone (China Village, Pandas, Yaks, etc) but they shaped my preferences and tastes. That said, living on this side (near Spokane), its hard to find noodles that I appease me. Also, our situation was kind of unique and the staff/owner/family were accommodating to us. We went at off-hours so the place was empty. Parking in the back is kind of a pain but doable. (this was my 1st time in Colfax) We ordered an odd variety; we also phoned in the order on the drive and kinda went in blind. Pictures are of the chicken lo mein (soft noodle. I believe regular chow mein, here, uses those crunchy noodle thingys) and their home made eggrolls. They say over the phone they are big. The hand is for scale. Not pictured were fish n chips, veggie fried rice, and their homemade potstickers. The food was good. The noodles are how I prefer them. The pot stickers were excellent. The fish n chips, werent for the adults but the fries were terrific (weve run into a lot of soggy fries lately) and the fish was typical (most likely frozen, fried well). The fried rice was so-so (not dark enough for me) and the egg rolls were decent. Its nice they are hand-made. Prices are iffy. They arent bad, fairly consistent w/ most places. Portions are decent tho Im pretty sure Ive paid more for less. The menu looks good and Im curious about what their other dishes are like.

5 /5 John L Ball: Eddys has some of the best American Chinese food! Both the owner and his cousin are such nice people! Very personable! We love them. We drive 2 1/2 hours to get Eddys!

5 /5 cyrus fairley: I havent been to Eddys in 15 years and was in the area, so I stopped in for lunch. I was the only one in the place at 2:15 pm, but soon after other customers showed up. There was a short wait on the food which is normal since you are getting fresh hot food. I tried the sweet and sour pork, almond chicken, chow mien and egg roll. The portions were more than I could eat in one setting, so expect some take home. The restaurant was very clean and organized, the restroom being A+ for cleanliness. Cyrus Fairley Spokane WA

3 /5 Dave Pierce: Arrived at 7 pm on a Friday night, one other table was seated. All the staff were hanging by the kitchen, one did come out to direct us toward a table. He was courteous. We wanted to try the egg rolls, he informed us that there was only one left, so we got that. It was fair. We also Pot Stickers, they make in house, those were pretty good. It was a long wait for him to come back to the table to take a meal order. I stood up a couple times to get someones attention, that was annoying, since we were the only other party there. We ordered Mongolian Beef - good flavor, light on beef however, Eddies Special Fried Rice - good flavor, what you would expect from a Chinese American restaurant, comparable to Safeway China Express or Panda Express, and finally Chicken and Vegetables as a suggestion from the server versus Chicken Chop Suey - good flavor, light on chicken, heavy on vegetables. Overall, it seems a bit pricey for what you get, however given the remoteness of Colfax, the prices may be needed in order to continue staying in business. If you are hungry, this place will work, it just wont knock your socks off. As we left, we just got the impression that we had intruded on them, perhaps they were thinking of closing early due to lack to customers and our arrivals delayed that.

4 /5 Steve Takata: Eddy’s is a restaurant which is primarily Chinese with one page of American food. I believe it is the only Chinese restaurant in Colfax, but unfortunately it’s not as good as I had hoped. I was disappointed that the chop suey had very little in the way of fresh vegetables in it, and was predominantly, canned mushrooms and water chestnuts. The onions were fresh, and I believe the celery may have also been fresh, but I was hoping for more vegetables than this, like bamboo shoots, bean, sprouts, pea pods, etc. The menu on the page of American entrées looked pretty good, but I haven’t tried anything from it yet. The atmosphere inside feels sort of like a kitschy Chinese from the 1970s, which was sort of interesting. I think that it may be hard to get fresh vegetables here and that’s why they don’t have the variety in their food, and also have to resort to things that are canned, but it’s unfortunate.
