Dim Sum Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“I've tried different kinds of its food. None of them let me down. It is very good at making traditional Chinese food, especially in the JiangNan flavor, which makes me recall the memory when I was a kid. Definitely recommend having a try.“

“Ellen and her family are wonderfully friendly. Their food always hits the spot and reminds me of my mom's cooking. I highly recommend the beef scrambled eggs rice bowl and the dry fried green beans. The egg tofu is also delicious. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu.“

“Been there twice and tried most of the vegetarian dishes, and LOVE all them! Great food, decor and service! Will go back with more friends! 😍“

“Beef onion buns are a must try!!“

“My family eats here several times a month, and we're always happy. Excellent place to get dumplings and the only place around I've been able to find with good bao buns that don't cost a fortune.

Food is all fresh, all made right in the open kitchen, and all tasty.

This is also a mom and pop shop with super nice owners that always give service better than 99% of places in the area.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for good dumplings or bao buns.

You can easily get a full meal for less than $20 a head, but I'd recommend getting a variety and having leftovers (as long as you have a steamer).“

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

“Service was super speedy —if you’ve been to a local family owned Chinese place it’s exactly what you’d expect. Could see how it could be considered rude, but they just try to get everyone seated and make sure you get your food quickly! The food is 10/10, so fresh and you can tell they make it themselves — the dumplings are stuffed and have whole chunks of shrimp instead of ground, etc. portions are large. Price is great. No complaints!!!“

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

“Great food and quick service.“

“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.“

“I absolutely LOVE their soup dumplings!!! They're always filled with so much soup, with great flavor, the perfect thinness of the wrapper...thin yet so strong to hold all that yummy goodness inside!

The Q-baos also hold so much soup inside them! They always seem to have the perfect brown crisp to the bottom of them.

Love their pig ear appetizer. It's an acquired taste, but they cut it so thin; I love how chewy and flavorful this dish is!

Their noodles, soups, and other hot foods aren't the greatest, but if you're looking for an amazing soup dumpling, come to Dough Zone!!! Their service is always so quick and friendly!

I just wish parking was better at this U-district location. There isn't a designated parking lot for this place as it's on the bottom of an apartment complex. You can park across the street at the u-village parking garage“

“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.😁“

“Waitress was very nice! Helped me with my order and was very friendly. Food was delicious! I had the mushroom rice roll, shrimp chive dumpling, and the custard bun. Very good price too. Chili oil that's on the tables is very good. Highly recommend“

“Been there twice and tried most of the vegetarian dishes, and LOVE all them! Great food, decor and service! Will go back with more friends! 😍“

“This is one of our go to dumpling spots. Whenever we have out of town guests and they want dumplings this is where we go! Highly recommed the mapo tofu wagu beef. Also this service is wonderful they welcomed our party of 10 and took great care of us!“

“A must visit place when in Seattle; amazing food, big portions, reasonable prices, and wonderful service! Also a great place to bring large groups due to the shareable dishes and creating ordering/payment system. Would definitely recommend it to anyone!“

“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!!“

“Both the environment and the service are very good“

“Update: Super sad that the menu changed and excluded my favorite items. No more beef chow fun. No more fried rice. I hope those items come back.

Original: WOW!!! Went here with my partner, who is from HK, and they were super impressed. Legit HK dishes, done completely on point. Down to the dry ho fan (chow fun) using the correct noodles (something you rarely see in the US) to the hella authentic black pepper sauce, we were blown away. Oh, and the chili oil on the table is legit too, it's seasoned not just chili oil! The service was amazing too, oh and the HK milk tea hot was also just like you'd get in HK! Highly recommend, we'll be back soon!“

“Right in the middle of Pike place market area.

Worth the small wait to get some amazing buns. The balance between filling and outer bun was perfect for me and I wish I had gotten more.

Highly recommend!“

“Hole in the wall! We almost passed up walking in, but then my hubby noticed all the fine-looking cars in the full lot and we braved it. I almost cried with joy when I saw their weekend dim sum menu. So many childhood favorites that I had growing up in NYC’s Chinatown. To be clear, the “dim sum” is not the traditional Cantonese dim sum but more northern style like green onion pancakes, salty tofu milk, fried sticks, rolled rice rolls, etc. We splurged on getting one of our faves: pea shoots in garlic sauce. Would love to go back and try other dishes.“

“Exceptional service all around. The hostess was very kind and even gave us some extra dishes on the house. Food was delicious and portions sizes were quite large, their dim sum had tons of shrimp and meat. Were from out of state, so unfortunately won't be able to be regulars.“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“food was delicious. staff was very professional and courteous and friendly. awesome place to dine.“

“I over ordered and we got so much food. It was good, but not what I was expecting. They must’ve changed cooks or something because today everything tasted just a little bit
Different than it did before. The tofu chunks were bigger and the seasoning was different, just as an example.

The restaurant was packed when we got there. They are very accommodating for large groups.“

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

“Great services reasonable prices“

“My first time here and the worker immediately greeted me. He opened up a large steamer and told me that he had just made them fresh. It was a stack of large tin containers all with pork ribs and rice rolls. I bought one and left as there's no seating that I saw. It was delicious. I would come back for more here for sure.“

“I rarely write reviews but this place is superb!! Clean environment, good service, the food I cannot even find something I don’t like. Everything tastes good. Even the pepper sauce. Recommend beef with black pepper sauce and honey walnut shrimp. They have mango pudding dessert sending as a bonus, even the pudding is made by themselves, not the one you can buy outside. High level! The best in Seattle!“

“The service is absolutely terrible. I would give it a negative 10 if I could. I bought two steamed buns which can perfectly fit into a paper bag. The staff put them in a plastic box without asking me so she can charge me the box fee. I told her I do not need a box and please put them in a paper bag. The staff yelled at me "Don't ever come back again!!!" It is like robbery in plain day light. They force you to purchase the plastic box you do not need. I noticed they used to have plastic plates for dining ins, but now they got rid of all the plastic plates so customers who eat in have no option but to buy their plastic boxes. This is forced sale. How Sneaky! The staff are always yelling at you and extremely rude. They are incapble of speaking normally. Definitely avoid this place.“

“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.“

“This was my first time at a dough zone and it was pretty good. The servers were very kind and helpful. The cucumber salad was super tasty with the sweet/tangy/spicy sauce and the presentation was very appealing. The fried bao buns were my favorite. There was a lot of flavor and the crunch on the bottom was a nice texture. The soup dumplings were good and so were the shrimp and zucchini, however there wasn’t much flavor in either. They were much better when dipped in the ginger, soy and chili sauce. Overall, I felt like it was a pretty good value for the price“

“Great food, fun atmosphere and good service!“

“We discovered this place a few months ago after searching for Chinese food by my mother in laws place. Little did we know that this Chinese restaurant that you wouldn’t noticed since it’s tucked in a corner of a strip mall ,was the best place for amazing dine in and take out Chinese food. Prices are good and the staff is always helpful and nice. Shout out to the lady we see all the time at the front and always serves us. It’s nice to be a regular now, greeted with joy and happiness with delicious food. Glad we found this place thank you“

“Great dumplings, appetizer (beef tendon), and noodles! The plants and interior seems a little neglected but that doesn’t change the great flavor of the dishes and we got!

Ps. We had pretty similar experiences with the service of the restaurant, and finding a parking was a bit tricky, but we’d say the dumplings make the trip totally worth it!“

“Seafood and dim sum“

“Absolutely love this place! The food is consistently delicious — especially the traditional Chinese dim sum dishes. They’ve recently added a coconut soup base hotpot, and it’s a total game-changer! The broth is rich, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with all the fresh ingredients.
There are tons of hotpot options to choose from, all at a great value. The service is top-notch — super friendly and attentive. You can tell they really care about the customer experience. Highly recommend for both dim sum lovers and hotpot fans!“

“Sheng Jian Bao - A+; I think the best ones in the area. In fact, maybe the only ones in the area but regardless very good.

Xiao Long Bao - B; fairly good, but if you want xlb, nothing in the area can compare to Din Tai Fung. The upside to XCJ is that they have frozen xlb for you to steam at home that are pretty good for frozen xlb (about as good or slightly worse than traders joes ones, which are abnormally good for frozen xlb).

Zhajiangmian (sweet&savory noodles?) - A

Hainanese chicken rice - A+; I haven't had much HCR before here but it's very good, the sauces are tasty.

Jianbing - A; love the Chinese sausage and pork floss

The Sichuan Cabbage side that you can get with most items is pretty good, recommend trying it.“

“Always Great food especially the Dimsum..“

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

“Delicious comfort Chinese food“

“Super delicious and authentic! You know the food is going to be good when there’s only Chinese people in the restaurant and it’s a bit grimy inside. They were super friendly and spoke Cantonese and the food came out minutes after we ordered. I don’t know how they made the food so fast. Everything tasted fresh and was seasoned well, including the steamed oysters. It’s best to go with a big group and eat family style. I would definitely come again.“

“Our family love this restaurant in BC, so glad they are finally have one here, I love their variety of seafood choice and different way of preparing them that like no others restaurants have it here. They have crab promotion the night we visited so we tried the lotus leaf/sticky rice steam crab, everyone loves it so much. We also tried their steam abalone with XO sauce it was delicious. We finished it so quickly and forgot to take picture of the abalone. Other foods here are great too. Great service since it was a week night and about 60% full. They have promotion from Monday to Thursday dinner on special item, we probably will come again to try out on different night. All their servers are great, especially Tony, he was so patient answered all our questions and attending to all our needs; it makes our dinning experience much more enjoyable!“

“First time here. Heard it was under the prior name of Joy Palace. Though they were packed (11am on a Sat), we were quickly seated. Cart came fewer than 3 minutes, very frequent, and always stacked.

We ordered the usual; siu mai (big and juicy), har gau (plump and succulent), Phoenix claws (perfectly braised), spareribs, tofu skin roll, har gok, honey char siu pastry (flaky and flavorful), egg tart (huge!). Oh, LOVE their house chili. Thoroughly satisfied with the meal.

The only bad thing is that the strip mall had seen better days. Hope the MLK revitalization project will make things better there.“

“buena experiencia y rica comida“

“In our last trip to Seattle, we had to eat this again before we flew out!
We are planning our next trip to Seattle, and we are going out of the way to eat this, and eat this again before we fly out. If I could, I would loved to carry this back home on plane 🤩“
