Dim Sum Restaurants in Seattle, WA

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.😁“

“First visit. Had reservation for one of the later slots on Christmas Eve. Although the restaurant was busy, the table was ready and chairs had Santa-themed covers, which was a nice touch. Server was efficient and took order in a timely manner, and food came out hot, fresh, and surprisingly quick, but server definitely had her hands full. The food was delicious. Be sure to get some spicy soup dumplings.... yummy, and I was told they are the 'best' ones. That said, I'll try the others on future visits. The duck was notably delicious, as was the sauteed bok choy, which was more than enough for four people to share. Our party also ordered the fried tofu, which was refreshingly light-fried and non-greasy. Also got a shrimp and noodle dish that was good, but we either received the veggie version... I don't remember seeing shrimp (or finding any) as I ate, but noodles were still good and it would take a lot more than that for me to have complained on Christmas Eve (or any other night, really). All the food was delicious and served quickly. Looking forward to the next opportunity for me to eat there.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great services reasonable prices“

“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!“

“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“

“absolutely incredible food! great team and atmosphere!“

“Seafood and dim sum“

“Delicious comfort Chinese food“

“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.“
