Dim Sum Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“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!!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this dumpling spot! The food is absolutely delicious—every dumpling is perfectly made, fresh, and packed with flavor. But what really sets this place apart is the person who runs it. They went out of their way to make me and my son feel welcome from the moment we walked in. You can tell they truly care about their customers, treating us more like friends than just guests. My son left with a big smile, and I left already planning our next visit. Great food, warm atmosphere, and genuinely kind service—this is the kind of place you keep coming back to!“

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

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

“I honestly love this place. An affordable place to eat that still serves delicious and quality food? Wow. I never got anything here that was anything other than delicious or cheap.

I agree that the staff isn’t overtly friendly but they are NICE. I ordered some chicken wings and a side of rice, and my side of rice was delivered first before my chicken wings with my other appetizers. I didn’t touch my rice because I was saving it for my wings. When my wings came out 5-10 mins later, one of the older ladies quietly took my bowl of rice and said that’d she’d get me a new hot bowl of rice. I didn’t even ask, but it was greatly appreciated. And to top it off, they gave me some goodies to take home.

I love this place, favorite spot in the CID!“

“Great food and quick service.“

“Went to the BBQ side and had a great rice with the BBQ pork and roast pork rice! Super fresh and tender. Last time I was here I had the clay pot rice with minced pork with salted fish! Really nostalgic toisanese dish my mom would make. The beef chow fun was also really good and not oily.“

“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!!“

“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.😁“

“This is probably one of the only places in town that can still (at least mostly) fill you up for less than $6. Three delicious and huge bao buns for $5.68... the cheapest you can get anywhere, and they're lovely. This place is a hidden gem, and is going to be one of my regular stops whenever I'm around and it's open!“

“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!“

“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! 😍“

“Absolutely delicious soup dumplings, definitely the best I've had around and so so so reminds me of the awesome stuff Ive had in NYC Chinatown. Super kind woman always takes our order, affordable prices and we never wait too long for takeout. Definitely patronize this place, they will not disappoint“

“Great atmosphere and super friendly service! The food tastes authentic and flavorful, just like Hong Kong. The portions are generous and the price is reasonable. Loved their roast dishes and dim sum, definitely coming back again. Highly recommended!“

“While at the market, we decided to pick up a snack here. We tried the bbq pork and curry beef hombow and they were really good. Both meats paired perfectly with the breading. This is a place to pick up the food and go. There is no place to sit down and enjoy it. Despite that, I would definitely recommend it.“

“From the moment the dishes arrived, it was clear that this establishment adheres to a truly traditional and artisanal approach. Unlike many places that rely on frozen or mass-produced options, the dim sum here is undeniably made in-house and by hand.
• Evidence of Skill: The precision and consistency of the pleats on the dumplings (如：虾饺的褶皱), the delicate shaping of the buns (如：包子的造型), and the fresh, vibrant fillings spoke volumes. This attention to detail immediately elevates the dining experience above the typical.
• The Texture Difference: The wrappers (皮) were a standout—thin, resilient, and perfectly translucent, holding their shape without being sticky or breaking. This level of craftsmanship is the foundation of great dim sum.“

“One of the most beloved restaurants by locals. It’s always at the top of my list and worth the drive from downtown. The staff is lovely, the noodles are great, and the ambiance makes you feel like you’re at home. I’ve been here dozens of times and I will continue to do so.“

“Both the environment and the service are very good“

“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.“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“Amazing food, good portions, good prices, and amazing humans running the place.

I eat here about once every couple of weeks and it is always fresh, and soooo delicious.

They deserve a try and a shout out.“

“Love honey court. Been coming here all my life for dim sum, lunch, dinner. No frills dining, but consistently good. Dim sum is a fun, loud vibe with people catching up with their loved ones. It’s not the BEST dim sum you’ll have but it’s always gonna hit the spot.“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“Great services reasonable prices“

“Great food, fun atmosphere and good service!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Seafood and dim sum“

“Delicious comfort Chinese food“

“Always Great food especially the Dimsum..“

“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.“

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

“Its a solid place to get some dim sum when in Bellevue. This is an expansion for them from BC. The interior was pretty well designed, giving it that modern appeal. The dim sum options were decent and the quality of the ones we ordered we good.“

“Stepping into Ding Feng for lunch was a fantastic decision. The restaurant itself is beautiful and spacious, creating a really pleasant and comfortable dining experience. The service was amazing from start to finish—attentive, friendly, and efficient.

​And the food? Absolutely incredible. I ordered a few dishes, and each one was a winner. The shrimp fried rice was perfectly cooked, with plump, juicy shrimp and a great balance of flavors. The hot pot dish with various seafood and meats in a rich, savory sauce was a standout—the seafood was fresh and tender, and the sauce was delicious. The third dish, Mongolian Chicken, a stir-fry with chicken, onions, and scallions, had a wonderful, glossy sauce and the chicken was perfectly cooked.

​Overall, Ding Feng offers great food, amazing service, and a beautiful dining room. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!“

“Never disappointed with this place. Today no line.“

“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 🤩“
