This is the second time I have been at the restaurant and I don’t think I will come back. We waited 30 mins to have a table. A group of people was behind us on the list but they had a table first. My husband asked and the waitress ignored him. It took 30 mins to get the first dish in our order then another 30 mins for the rest. Food was good but not special than any other dim sum places. It was definitely NOT worthy for waiting that long. Service was unfriendly. I gave 2 stars bc the bao was good
Almost as good as NYC dim sum. I've really struggled to find some good dim sum outside of NYC - especially places that have the rare steamed lotus seed bun. This place has it and the dishes we tried were solid, with the minor caveat that food here seems the tiniest bit underflavored - a bit undersalted and undersweet. But I still liked it. Major bonus points for affordability, and they accept credit cards.In my experience - I'd say this place is B+ to A- tier; NYC dim sum is between B+ and A; Hong Kong's good places are A to A+.Dim sum dishes ordered:— Ha gow (shrimp dumplings) - Yum. Shrimp is not as sweet and flavorful as in Hong Kong which is a high bar, but it was still tasty.— Shrimp cherng fun (steamed rice roll) - Very impressed with freshness of noodles. Wish shrimp was larger as that'd be sweeter. Sauce needs to be sweeter.— Beef cherng fun (steamed beef rice roll) - Very impressed with freshness of noodles! Char siu in it was good. Like the shrimp one, sauce needs to be sweeter.— BBQ Pork buns -Solid for a fix. Fluffy and sweet bun, but wasn't the best filling. Not a very strong taste.— Steamed Lotus Seed Buns - Real lotus seed, but wasn't sweet enough— Pan fried shrimp cakes - best dish of the ones I tried here! Surprisingly tasty.— Sesame balls with lotus seed paste - skip next time; dough was chewy and delicious but too thick, and there wasn't much paste. Go with Mee Sum Pastry's instead.This place also has the real authentic dishes like chicken feet, which I don't like to eat, but other tables got them and it looked fresh. Honestly it seemed like most dishes you get here would be solid. I didn't hate anything (unlike Din Tai Fung, lol). Got 7 dim sum dishes total split between 2 people. It came out to roughly $43, and we were both pretty stuffed.Service-wise, they were great. We beat the crowd Sunday at ~10:30am and there was no wait. It got pretty busy at 11 so get there early to avoid the waitlist. There was a minor hiccup when we paid at the front; they accidentally billed us as the wrong table but refunded and fixed it without us prompting, giving us the refund receipt just in case. Appreciated that!While they didn't have cart service when I went, I actually loved their QR code made-to-order system which lets you order dishes with your friends and it updates live. You can clearly see the cost of each dish as you add to your cart and most dishes had pictures. It was a lot less hassle than trying to flag down cart servers to get the dim sum dishes you want. Food came out pretty quickly and they served free, delicious tea like real dim sum restaurants in Hong Kong.TL;DR - highly recommended, very good value for tasty and fresh dim sum, and great service. 100% coming back here for my dim sum fix.
I loved this place so much. I’m new in Seattle and when I found this place I’ve started going to there often. So today was my last day when I was there. First time in my life(I’ve been in more than 6 different countries in Asia, I’ve tried street food million times) I found cockroach in my plate! More disgusting moment in my life(with food) couldn’t happen :(The inspection needs to be done there!
Came here for dim sum whilst visiting Seattle from Vancouver. We ordered the bbq duck as well as a variety of dim sum dishes. The bbq duck was not good at all and was way too salty. The bbq pork bun was also not good. The other dishes were passable though my friend that I came with did not agree. Coming from Vancouver where the dim sum is top notch, the dim sum in Seattle doesn't even compare.The service is terrible but that's expected from a Chinese restaurant. I asked for the wifi password and was told they didn't have wifi although when I searched for wifi networks, a network for Harbor City showed up.
Don’t require vax cards or masks to enter but lots of people still wear masks for courtesy. We waited for a table and they allowed us to pick a seat ourselves and there’s a QR code to not only scan the menu but order and add dishes throughout your dining experience. Quick, efficient, good tea. Can’t remember all we ordered other than free range chicken, a small honey walnut prawns (wish I got large for sharing purposes), shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, and a couple other things. Super good food! Second time being here ^_^
Wow! I really prefer to only write positive reviews as you know if you read my reviews. However, on extremely rare occasions I will write a bad review so as to alert my local neighbors about something profoundly bad that may hurt them. This is one of those times!! I was suckered into ordering To Go from this restaurant as they offered a 10% discount on pickup orders. This was aligned with their beliefs that delivery services were bad for their business. I join in that belief that delivery services offer the restaurants little to no benefit. However, I am unable to remain supportive about this local restaurant’s profoundly poor takeout service. I ordered takeout directly from their site. I was instructed my order would be ready in 30 minutes. That seems reasonable. I showed up about 10 minutes early. I waited. And waited. And waited. I started to get worried as I parked in a 3 minute pickup zone. I asked about my order. I was told it was coming. I asked again. I was assured it was coming. I asked again. Same thing. Finally I asked if I could cancel my order. They said it was already being cooked. This was around 20 minutes past my 30 minute pickup time. They finally brought my order out. I paid. No tip of course. I typically give a 20% tip but could not in good conscience give them a tip. I went to my car. A ticket was on my windshield. I put the To Go order in my trunk. I got home. Sure enough, my To Go order was sideways. Suffice to say my trunk now smelled of garlic sauce. So where do I start? #1- Please hire more people for busy shifts. #2- Please learn how to pack To Go orders.
Roast pork and roast pig — GO FOR FRESHLY MADE DIM SUM — we will return before noon ONLY lunch time when the chef is there for freshly (vs refrigerated and reheated) prepared fare.
Loved their food! Each dumpling is filled with a lot of ingredients and portion is decent. I will definitely go back again :)
I have lived in Seattle 90% life and I have been to many of the Chinese restaurants in the International District. I have been going to this specific restaurant for so long I can't even remember when I first started going on a regular basis. I now live in Lake Stevens and it is harder to get down there as often as I would like. When I first started going it was a small hole in the wall place that had very little seating. Now it is double the size but the service and food are still the same great thing I have come to love and expect from them. It's great food, you can get the very Americanized Chinese classics but you can also get the more authentic foods as well. It has a good blend of everything you could want at very affordable prices. You also get lots of food for your money as well. My wife and I make a special trip there whenever we can. While you are there you should also take time to check out the Wing Luke Museum and the Pinball Museum. Both are just a short walk from the restaurant. Making for a good full day of fun.
Delicious food. Wide selection. Large portions. Good prices. Nice staff / customer service. Easy to dine in or order online and pickup.Our go to spot for traditional Chinese food.(photos are a combination of dine in and takeout)
