“Great food, fun atmosphere and good service!“

“The food was absolutely amazing! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The seafood was especially impressive—fresh, tender, and full of flavor. The portions were generous, and the service was warm and attentive.“

“One of the better dim sum restaurants in the region. Their food used to be amazing, but their kitchen staff may have changed in the last month. Their baked buns have a generous amount of filling. However, their steamed har how and rice noodles have a former texture than is ideal.“

“Got 5 xiaolong bao for 15 dollars! Very expensive but bao tastes good!
Recommend to try it but I won’t repeat it!

Attention: how to bite bao without spraying people around you?
Poke a hole on the top and let the hot air go out!“

“buena experiencia y rica comida“

“Clean and open Dim Sum restaurant inside Factoria Mall. The service was great where the food came out quick, the wait staff were friendly and water/tea stayed filled. Overall the food was good, not the best, but also a great option if you’re on the Eastside and wanting dimsum without waiting in long lines on the weekends. The prices may seem high, but the portions are double the standard size you’re accustomed to. Shu mai, you get 8 vs 4 is an example of that. Had the shu mai, har gao, bbq pork buns ( steamed and baked), rice rolls with bbq pork & shrimp, taro balls, congee, Chinese donut, and fried rice for the kids. Definitely would come back just for the convenience.“

“Amazingly flavorful… perhaps my new fave in the states!“

“Our first visit was yesterday for lunch and we had Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Chicken pan-fried potstickers, Chicken and Vegetable Won-tons in sweet and sour sauce and Spicy (Ma la) noodles.....all were very good! The service was excellent and we enjoyed the whole experience!!“

“One of the best restaurants in town, no question! Their vegan options are SO GOOD. We can’t recommend them enough. Fresh, delicious, good portions, solid options, and just so good. A total must if in Seattle.😁“

“Always a 10/10 here. Brought a friend with me today visiting Seattle, we sat down and didn't even look at a menu, we were just asked if we wanted new menu items that were already hot and ready. Everything was delicious, it was the perfect amount for a small lunch for the 2 of us.“

“Great food and quick service.“

“This is our go-to Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood! The food is authentic, packed with flavor, and consistently delicious. The portions are incredibly generous, especially for the price, making it a fantastic value. We’ve been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Chinese food!“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“Located on 7th Avenue and Jackson Street, Diamond Bay, as of 2025, boasts being the newest and most modern Chinese restaurant in Seattle's Chinatown International District.

Now, if you walk to front, located on 7th Avenue, you'll see glass two doors.

The glass door on the LEFT-HAND SIDE allows you to enter a magnificent grand dining room, filled with round tables, a small speaking stage, and wall-strung-coordinated monitors along the south wall. A mix of the old 1950's elegant Seattle Chinatown banquet restaurants fused with the modern 21st Century technology of 2026. A banquet may already be in progress. If not, there is a full menu experience awaiting you and your party to both attentive service and a beautiful dining area.

However, I want to focus on the glass door on the RIGHT-HAND SIDE, which brings you into a bustling cafe.

Casual diners pretty much could seat themselves, but check-in anyways, just to make sure the busy waitstaff sees them - and that's a smart idea. You figure out THIS is the place to be, not just a hole in the wall, but where modern dining action now belongs - no pretension of a large banquet hall, just good food that only a cafe produces. Outstanding!! It's a cafe that was sorely missed after almost 10 years of absence.

Inside is the action of a casual Chinese restaurant with the bustle of a Hong Kong Style restaurant at 1:30am on a Saturday night - which may very well happen, every night. Roasted duck, pork and chicken hang in the window, and the limited menu awaits for the lunch crowd, or that casual meal of simple Soy-Sauce Duck over rice. Nostalgic.

I ordered a BBQ Pork Wonton Noodle Soup, and ordered a simple Soy Sauce Chicken over rice. Quick and tasty. No ceremony. Just the right food that hit the spot, and then on our way to our next meeting. The menu is casual, but definitely, and full kitchen experience. The owners surely knew what they were doing when the designed the two restaurants with the two dining experiences. Perfect.

Would I go back? To the Cafe... Absolutely.
I am sure I would go to the banquet side in the future. But my tummy will always crave the hustle and bustle of on the Cafe Side.

Come on over. You'll probobly see me, and everyone else you know, getting BBQ Pork.

But come on over none-the-less!
It'll be delicisious.“

“Honestly I came in at 8 am and they were lively and kind 10/10 food smells genuinely intoxicating just sitting here waiting for mine 100% coming back

Got two orders or steamed pork buns and a vegi and BBQ pork fried noodles cost me 20! That's 6 buns and a whole main dish 10/10 affordability and deliciousness“

“We had the ginger chicken and house fried rice. This place is one of the only Chinese restaurant left in Beacon Hill. This says a lot considering this use to be a Chinese neighborhood. The food is classic Chinese American. We will definitely be going back to contributing to their preservation. The first time we had it was at a catered event. I’m glad we went back. It’s an old school classic. Supporting or neighbors will be a joy. Can’t wait to try the chow mein.“

“The PERFECT fuel for exploring Pike Place! After a quick wait (no more than 5 minutes) in line, my husband and I grabbed a baked chicken bun, bbq pork bun, and green tea sesame ball. Baked goods in hand (and $19 later), we settled to eat our pastries overlooking the water. And WOW what a perfect way to start the day!

I started with the chicken bun, warm and puffed with a “pineapple” topping. There’s no actual pineapple in the bun, but rather the top has a crinkly and sweet shell that is “pineapple” in appearance only. This bun was fresh, yeasty, and sweet on the outside, and it contained a savory chicken & mushroom filling within. The filling has generous pieces of pulled chicken, some sort of mushroom, and a yellowy curry sauce with the same texture as an American chicken pot pie.

I also tried my husband’s pork “ham bow” (another baked bun but no pineapple-like topping). This filling was a sweet and tangy BBQ sauce coating pieces of chopped pork—also delish! We ended with “dessert”: a green tea sesame ball rolled in toasted black and white sesame seeds and filled with a green tea paste. It was sweet with a slightly mochi texture and a subtle matcha-flavored filling. While it was a bit oily, it was still SO delicious, and the perfect complement to our breakfast buns.

For a portable, not-messy, hot n fresh baked breakfast, I would highly recommend Mee Sum! I only wish I had more tummy room to try more of their baked goods!“

“As a Hongkonger, I’ve tried multiple Hong Kong cha chaan tengs in the Seattle area, and I think I finally found my favorite one!

I ordered the mixed sauce rice roll and the tomato sauce pork chop rice. I devoured the rice roll so quickly that I didn’t even take pictures, but I did take several pictures of the pork chop rice because it looked glorious 😋

The pork chop was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and nicely fried. The generous egg fried rice underneath was golden and aromatic 🤤 The portion was so gigantic , it is big enough for me to eat for three meals.

The decor inside is beautiful, the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere feels welcoming. Harmony Palace deserves a proper shout out!!“

“Very good! The shrimp, chive and pork dumplings we got were great and the BBQ steamed pork buns were delicious and unique from the standard pork bungs that tend to be rather sweet. Everything seemed to be made to order too. Very nice couple running the place. Definitely coming back.“

“I’ve been coming here for as long as I can remember and it’s still my favorite Chinese food I’ve ever had. Before it was Chiang’s it was called China Harbin in the eighties and before that it was a Pizza Hut, hence its architectural shape. Ordering off both the American Chinese Menu as well as the traditional Chinese Menu is a must. Highly recommend their hot and sour soup, housemade noodles, scallion pancakes, Chinese greens, and salt and pepper prawns. My son ate an entire tray of noodles to himself. Also kind of a bonus their fortune cookies are the best— both in taste and the fortune itself. My fortune was on point.“

“I love this place! I'm lucky enough to work close by and stop in at least once a week for lunch. The servers, especially Karmen and Peter, are fantastic. The food is always great and SO fast. And best of all the prices are some of the best in Seattle. Can't recommend Dough Zone enough!“

“I visited with my family right after the FIFA game ended. Luckily, we were seated immediately, though people arriving shortly after us faced an hour-long wait.

The food was the absolute highlight, the General Tso's chicken, Mongolian beef, and sizzling oyster were all amazing, flavorful, and served fresh and warm. It did take a while for the dishes to arrive, but the taste made up for the delay.

The overall ambience was just okay and could use some improvement. The restaurant also seemed heavily understaffed; we had to flag down the staff multiple times just to get water refills and our final bill. Come for the incredible food, but be prepared for a potential wait and slower service during peak times!“

“I live rather close to this hidden gem and decided to try it this week. I placed a large takeout order for pick up later and my order was ready promptly and was nice and hot! My partner and I especially loved the General Tso's Tofu and the Pan Fried Turnip Cake. The atmosphere looked immaculate when I went to pick up my order, I can't wait to dine in next time!“

“Best place for family style dinner. The variety of food is amazing!! The seating capacity is quite good. A/V quality needs to be improved but manageable. Their menu is quite big and the location is picture perfect- right on the Lake Union with tons of free parking.“

“The owner was generous enough to offer samples, and we ended up liking everything so much we had to go with the sampler combo. Everything was packed with flavor and fragrance, the Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice especially, and the homemade strawberry lemonade was also incredibly fresh and delicious on a warm day. Overall, absolutely one of the best food trucks I have experienced at the Market.“

“Food is amazing and traditional. Staff is friendly and welcoming. We always stop here when we are in Albany.“

“Idk if you don’t want a mildly grumpy woman serving you, don’t come here but personally I love Miss Ping. She’s straight forward and serves a mean dumpling. I don’t need a new best friend. My favorite soup dumpling in Seattle“

“Good place to get Dim Sum dishes.
I've tried the BBQ pork, pork belly, roasted duck, hum bow, shrimp balls, chicken feet, siumai and sesame balls... all dond reasonably well. They also prepare rice and noodle dishes. One can call ahead to order larger group sized orders for parties.
Friendly and helpful staff.“

“Great services reasonable prices“

“Great food and customer service“

“Best dumplings. Staff is very nice and kind.“

“Foo Lam has some of the most authentic Chinese meals in all of Seattle. It is well worth the trip no matter what side of town you are on. Their Dim Sum, their steamed/fried Shrimp and other meatballs, Congee, and assortment of Chinese eats are top notch. Their cleanliness could definitely be much improved, and their to go service sometimes is questionable as far as them giving you sufficient materials- but from a pure food standpoint the cook and staff are great. And for a quick snack, they have great Spicy, Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings.“

“Delicious food & reasonable prices- fast service and nice atmosphere! We chose take out after soccer and it was ready/hot and my son LOVED the soup dumplings 🥟“

“Seafood and dim sum“

“Hands down the best clay pot rice in Washington, especially the yellow eel one. It's super rare to have clay pot rice in the US, very surprised that they are making such authentic one here. This dish is not hard to make, but very difficult to have such good taste. Balanced flavor, fresh ingredients, perfect crisp for the bottom layer of rice. They also have a lot of other authentic dishes which we will being going back and try them all out. You can clearly tell the skill of the cook from the flavor of just this one dish. We also had some veggie and fish, they are also very good, fresh, balance flavor.“

“Love the dumplings and the red sauce that looks spicy but really isn’t that hot!“

“Delicious comfort Chinese food“

“This restaurant, formerly known as Joy Palace, has been one of my favorite places to dine for over 30 years. It’s always a pleasure to return and see familiar faces among the staff. The restaurant is clean, well maintained, and provides excellent customer service. The owner is welcoming and genuinely cares about guests’ dining experiences, while the food is consistently well presented and full of flavor.

Some of my favorite dishes include the salted fish fried rice, stir-fried crab with ginger and green onion, salt & pepper prawns, and the crab maw soup, which comes in a generous portion that’s perfect for sharing. Their dim sum is also a highlight, with a wonderful selection available during the morning and afternoon. Everything I’ve had from the dim sum carts has been fresh and delicious.

The reason for my 4-star rating is a few inconsistencies with takeout orders. On a couple of occasions, the shumai in my to-go order was undercooked. I’ve also found that certain menu items, such as fried rice, aren’t available early in the day because only the dim sum kitchen is open until the main kitchen starts service. While I understand the kitchen schedule, it can be confusing if you’re expecting the full menu. Even with those minor issues, this restaurant continues to be one of my favorite places for Cantonese cuisine, and I’ll gladly keep coming back.“

“Going here has been a tradition for me and my family. Once we started we couldn’t stop. Now every time I visit Seattle we have to go at least once. In fact when I first came here, I recorded the address to make sure I could come back in the future. Because the food was just that delicious. And so far it has never failed to disappoint.“
