In 2013, Seattle Magazine's list of "our favorite hot noodle soups" described the wonton soup with chili sauce and vinegar "perfection". Jay Friedman included Mike's in Eater Seattle's 2019 lists of "15 Essential Asian Noodle Destinations in Seattle" and "10 Top Spots for Asian Dumplings in the Seattle Area". He also included the business in 2022 lists of "20 Knockout Chinese and Taiwanese Restaurants in the Seattle Area" and "19 Knockout Restaurants in Seattle's Chinatown-International District". He said Mike's "gets especially crowded on weekends" and "may be the ultimate in C-ID Chinese comfort food".
