Dim Sum Restaurants in Seattle, WA

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

“Very tasty dim sum options! Their sesame balls are some of the best I've had. This place has been around as long as I can remember, though we only came here recently after our favorite place across the street closed down. The staff is quite friendly and fast, and - while it's an older building - it is clean. The only challenge is their prices aren't always posted, so our bill was slightly higher than anticipated. Still, we would definitely return! Positive experience.“

“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!!“

“Chinese new year gathering with Church friends. We arrived at 11 AM. It already started to be busy. When we leave at 12:30 there is a long queue outside. Food is authentic Cantonese dim sum. I like the reddish cake. The most eating area is big can hold big gathering banquet.“

“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.“

“Got lunch here on a Saturday. There was plenty of seating. We were welcomed in by friendly people working at the counter. Once we ordered, the food came pretty quickly but it was obviously made fresh. The rice roll was perfect, the fried dumplings were delicious. Would love to go back. Also, got some sesame balls (not pictured) and an egg tart for dessert - the perfect end to the meal.“

“The potstickers were delicious and the egg fried rice (which they might not have by the time you read this review because it was on the specials menu) was amazing my new favorite food. The service was incredibly fast we got food in like 4-5 minutes and the staff was very kind.“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“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.😁“

“ChiHo Bistro has quickly become one of my favorite spots, especially if you’re a truffle lover. You honestly can’t go wrong with anything truffle here , every dish feels rich, balanced, and thoughtfully executed without being overpowering.

The standout for me has to be the truffle XLB. Each dumpling is packed with savory broth and finished with an earthy truffle flavor that takes the entire bite to another level. It’s INCREDIBLY comforting,

The truffle fried rice is easily one of the best fried rices around. Perfectly seasoned with a deep wok flavor, every grain is flavorful without feeling heavy, and the truffle ties everything together beautifully. It’s one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after the meal is over.

Their duck is another must-order. Crispy skin, tender meat, and packed with flavor. It pairs perfectly with the richer truffle dishes and rounds out the meal so well.

Overall, ChiHo Bistro delivers a unique mix of comfort and elevated flavors. The quality, attention to detail, and balance in every dish make it a spot I’m always excited to come back to.“

“I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE!! i tried their pork buns and matcha sesame ball.

the pork was nicely tender and had a good flavor to it.

the matcha sesame ball was delicious and my fav. the dough was good amount of greasy. it's filled with black sesame filling which was u expecting considering it being matcha, so it didn't really give matcha. but i love it and would absolutely recommend it!“

“The dumplings were on point, and the mushroom egg soup was delicious. It is admirable to see the owner hosting, cooking, serving and bussing. The decore is a bit dated, but it is clean and always friendly. You’ll have to ask for soy sauce, don’t be shy. Definitely worth supporting her business and her delicious food.“

“The beef brisket quality is excellent, and the flavor is 10/10. The chicken and abalone congee really suits my taste. The Hong Kong milk tea tastes very authentic, and the satay beef rice noodles are my favorite. I highly recommend this authentic Hong Kong-style café. Every time I come to Chinatown, I make sure to stop by and eat here.“

“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!“

“Seattle's BEST Chinese food. 1 star off on service is bc food does come in slow so probably not a good choice if u are already really starving. however, u literally taste they make everything from scratch.
one more time, this place is Seattle's BEST CHINESE FOOD.“

“We are always surprised how underrated this place is. It's our go to spot after visiting the zoo. Dim Sum/ Cantonese-styled dishes: we love it! the price is also very reasonable. The decor & atmosphere is a little dated.. but with the food & the price: I'll still 100% down on 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.“

“One of our best seafood meals in Seattle! We had Sandy as our waitress and she was amazing, gave the best recommendations. We had the geoduck for the first time, poached and in a tofu and mustard green soup. We ate it with hot mustard and soy sauce with jalapenos. Get the pea shoots with garlic too. Service was amazing and dungeness crab and geoduck was so fresh and sweet. This might be one of the best seafood restaurants in Seattle or anywhere and they open until 3:30am. Unreal place! Highly recommend!“

“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“

“Went there for lunch just to grab a quick bite. When we walked in, we were blown away by the decor and how cool it was. The food and service were spectacular and we would definitely go back again and highly recommend for anybody to try this Restaurant. You won't be disappointed.“

“absolutely incredible food! great team and atmosphere!“

“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.“

“Seafood and dim sum“

“Delicious comfort Chinese food“

“Old school dim sum complete with carts rolling around everywhere! I really love the food here! The owner as well as the staff was super nice and welcoming. They had all of our old favorites and even some new ones! Who doesn't love a deep fried shrimp ball!?“

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