Went there 3 times for BBQ, all 3 times the meat didn't taste fresh. They don't sell as fast as other places. Food is being left out all day. BBQ is flavorless and rotten tasting. Would only sell lunch boxes with leftover pieces and won't cut new meat. Dim sum is edible but nothing special. Price is also not cheap compared to other places in Chinatown. Service is slow. read more

A hidden gem on Beacon Hill. The staff is welcoming and efficient. The dimsum menu is limited, but what they do have they do well. They also have BBQ meats hanging in the window and that is really good as well. read more

This spot is worth the drive if you want No Frills no Fuss Siu mai & Har Gow. Their "Footballs" are good but I think they'll be better FRESH. Skip the steamed pork&chive dumplings unless that's your thing. There's not really much of a "wait". Will be back to try the BBQ items another day. All in all, Siu Mai and Har Gow are huge and price point is worth the drive. No need to go to China Town if those are your go-to's. read more

Beacon B.B.Q. - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Super hidden gem!!! Don't want to sit in for dim sum? Or go all the way to Chinatown? Then come here and get some to-go. This is my spot for dim sum and I'm always satisfied every time I get my fix. Okay yes this place looks super run down but don't let that discourage you from coming in. The workers here really put in a lot of hard work in their food. The portions are one of the biggest I've seen and for the price? Ever better. I always get their har gow, shu mai, steamed chicken feet, pork/shrimp & chives dumplings, and glutinous rice dumplings (AKA footballs). It's always a hit or miss when they have their footballs but when you do come across them on your next visit to Beacon B.B.Q, definitely buy some! I recommend asking for more soy sauce and chili oil sauce because of how big these dumplings are, you're going to want more. You get fast-paced service and there's hardly any to no wait to order and get your food. TRUST ME, come get your dim sum fix here. You won't be disappointed. read more

FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PLACE I placed an order yesterday morning and called 2 hours laters to cancel the order and get a refund before $ 223.00 because i noticed their Lechon is just the Chinese style roasted soft pork NOT the Real Filipino style. The guy who answered the phone took my information down and stated that he will inform the owner to give me a call back. Of course, no call back. So, this morning I tried calling and an old Chinese guy said he doesnt know how to speak english... and couldnt help me and hung up the phone. I tried calling back and he didnt pick up. I tried several times (17) calls and he finally picked up the phone started yelling we are busy! i cant help you. I asked him for the owners number because i would very much like my money back he said " shes in china!" and hung up the phone. STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I WILL GET MY MONEY BACK. AVOID THIS PLACE THEY ARE FRAUDS!!!!! read more

Food taste good, but they don't add enough meat so it's just more dough than meat in most of their buns that have meat. The service was great though. read more

This place gotten stingy with rice order. twice in two week went there order and was given far less than what was given before. They will of course give you more rice then the poultry's. Economically i understand but i probably go somewhere else for the rice dish. Bao i might return for. read more

This business was added in Yelp as 'Beacon Bar B Que' before I added a tip a while back: I wonder if the business name can be updated to 'Beacon BBQ"? My guess is that you've driven by this place on Beacon Ave and dismissed it. It's really easy to! I walk to Jefferson Park and pass by this place regularly. I'm not sure if they provide dim sum to other restaurants, or if it is strictly for regular retail customers. They have a big rolling steam table standing by the deli case filled with a little or a lot of variety of dim sum. Complete feast or famine thing. The shrimp dumplings are giant happy to-go pillows. They're so good, I don't even use the sauce. The real draw here is the BBQ duck here. Reasonably priced and just as good as King's. (The sauce is a bit salty, drizzle at your own risk.) I do love it when people chop up my meat in front of me--it makes for an authentic experience. In their deli case, they also have fried fat back, vegetables, rice balls, noodles and fresh BBQ pork--and though I look at the case every time, I never see anything in it that has ever made me want to try it. Also, they are really good about upselling you on their goods, but the BBQ duck and chicken are usually enough for me :) I dunno though...Is this place a front for something else? They've been here as long as I've lived on the hill. Help me figure it out! read more

This is not a place to sit and dine at but a great place for take out. You don't even have to call ahead and order unless you plan to place a huge order. They've got roasted pork, duck, BBQ pork, chicken and sometimes fried rice & noodles. I like to come here for the HUGE and generous shumai that are available hot and ready to go. I also like the mini BBQ humbaos they have. 10 for $6! Also, available is chicken feet which I happen to enjoy. Sometimes they even have shrimp balls and other delightful steamed dim sum items. Private parking lot is plentiful so never an issue. They also accept credit cards. read more

Beacon B.B.Q. - Shu Mai, pork dumplings and shrimp balls! - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

My fave place for Chinese BBQ when I am not in the mood to cook dinner; and you don't have to wait long for your food. Occasionally, when I walked in someone from the back would yell out, "What do you want!" but don't let that scared you. Staff are very friendly for the most part, and food are cheaper than most places and delicious! Although not all dim sum items are there, what they have are all great. Their shrimp balls are packed with shrimp and bigger than any shrimp balls I've eaten at any dim sum places, the same with their sui mai. Their chicken feet and bbq pork hum bao are so delicious; I always buy extras for weekend late breakfast. read more

This is our new favorite dim sum place. We used to go to Dim Sum House (which is just a few stores down), but Beacon BBQ is better. The hau gau and suimai pieces are massive! They give you a soy dipping sauce, which is an added plus. There's usually a small line in the early mornings, but it's fast because their items are already made and they just need to pack it up. They're warm when you get it. Highly recommend. read more

Limited dim sum options but they're all good- shu mai, shrimp balls, pork buns, all piping hot and delicious, and easy for take out. (and only get them to go. You don't want to eat there) They ask you if you want sauce, and you should always get it. It's salty, spicy, vinegary.. perfect. If you let your dim sum sit for a few hours though, ones that have a wrapping like the shrimp balls will get hard. So don't try to save some for later. It won't be the same, although the filling will still be good to eat. read more

I was actually visiting the nursery next to this shop. I couldn't find a parking so thought to park in their parking area. I didn't want to be mean so thought to stop by and buy something. Ambience - it is not a sit and dine place for sure. It was clean but not spick and span. It is largely a carry out place so even though the ambience isn't perfect it doesn't really matter. Dimsum and dumplings - juicy, succulent, the flavor from the herbs literally explodes in the mouth at the first bite of it. My favorite is the shrimp dumpling and another dumpling that has shrimps with cilantro and chives. Meat - the meat in the dumpling (pork or shrimp) taste really fresh. You can feel it, it's now chewy or rubbery, it's soft and I love it that way. I go there once a week and guess what it so reasonably priced. I find the crew super friendly, I often try to practice my Mandarin skills with them and they love to correct me. read more

Been going to Beacon BBQ for years and they never fail me. It's the best/most convenient takeout dim sum in the area. You can look at the current ratings and be skeptical, but the real ones know. read more

Yes! The very first time I came here was with my mom and the lady who was working at the time hooked us up!!! And I mean gave us free samples to try and gave us a discount which was very sweet of her! I love everything about this place! Bomb food!!! They catered for my husbands birthday party and the amount of food we got was exceptional! I will always recommend people to go here if they want catered food! read more

Food is good and fast. Only issue is that it's very limited. If you like Shu Mai and shrimp balls you'll be happy. They were out of the pork dumplings. I ordered two of those specials. Pork spareribs with rice and veggies and pork spareribs with wide noodle. Both were good but nothing special. read more

I just wanna say it's just pretty decent take out tbh. Good portions for your money. Nice place to like sit and have tea. No complaints here. Customer service is alright but still reserve. -1 star Chicken feet is my go to. :) read more

We ordered a large Mongolian beef and a large sweet and sour chicken tray for my son's 1st birthday and was very very disappointed! The mongolian beef was on top of the fried noodles that came with it. The fried noodles consumed more than half of the tray with very little beef on the top! And it costed $65 for that! The sweet and sour chicken is not that good also. It is very hard and the batter was too thick and had very little chicken in it. It looked like plain fried popcorn chicken and mcdonalds sweet and sour sauce. There were no pineapple's or bell peppers in it. We are very dissappointed with it! I recommend that you do not buy these stuff from them! I haven't tried the roasted stuff and their dimsum but nonetheless I AM NEVER ORDERING FROM HERE EVER AGAIN!! read more

One of the best hidden secrets of Beacon Hill. Not to many people know about this place and maybe that is a good thing because the lines are still relatively short. There is nothing note worth on the inside, it's actually a bit grimy, but the food is what matters. This is a ma and pa that makes some really good BBQ duck and dim sum items. Hands down they make the best hum bao's for the price. Extra large chicken or pork hum baos for next to nothing in cost. Get the dim sum items to go and don't forget your hum bao's. read more

Cha siu? YES PLEASE! This is my go to place for Chinese BBQ pork & duck. Why? Because as much as I love Kau Kau, the convenience of this Beacon Hill hole in the wall cannot be beat! For those of you who live near or around Beacon Hill, this spot sure serves it up! Parking is available in the lot, it's angle only but you have people parking in weird angles or parking straight. I always park like a jerk so people don't hit my car LOL. There's also street parking and hey if you're ballsy, park at Seattle Supermarket and mozy on over! If you jaywalk, be careful not to jump out from the trees, ain't nobody gonna stop for you so be careful! BBQ pork is by the pound, honestly for two people, a half pound is more than enough. I believe it's about $13 a pound. The flavor is exquisite. Slow cooked, tender with a yummy sweet gingery glaze. I have to say, that the cha siu here tastes unlike anywhere I've tried before! It's more on the gingery side, I personally love ginger so thumbs up! It's always seasoned just right and fresh! The inventory and demand keeps it coming so I always trust that I'm getting quality fresh meats! You get a good mix of burnt ends, fatty succulent pieces and also those beautiful slices of meat... Mmm! I normally get a pound, and I will admit I just snack on the cha siu without rice because it's very addicting. My family rolls the cha siu into spring rolls which is one of my favorites! We also buy roast pork from here - it doesn't beat my favorite spot in Tacoma BUT it's reasonably priced and comes with a nice plum sauce. They also sell dimsum on the side! I haven't tried anything but the footballs (my mom LOVES them!). Crispy on the outside and dirt cheap. They run out pretty fast but be sure to ask for them! Solid BBQ joint, check it out if you're too lazy to go to Chinatown! read more

Service: fast food deli so don't expect special attention, but they don't rush or yell so it was fine. They calculate the total in their head and there's no itemized receipt so I asked them to go over the breakdown. Food: 1.chicken feet - good meat and flavor 2. Ha cao , Sieu Mai - good size, no msg after taste 3. BBQ pork bun- fluffy and good flavor It's more expensive than other to go dim sum places in Seattle but if you don't mind that then the food is fine. read more

They have the best ha gaw & shui mai in town! They are huge and taste so good! Fried chicken wings are the bomb! I go in there so often they know me by name! read more

This place is a complete dive but they have awesome har gow. They remind me of Jade Garden's, which are huge and completely stuffed with flavorful shrimp. I would definitely come back just for my har gow fix. I didn't get to try the other limited dim sum items or the Chinese barbeque since it is Lent. But what I saw were siu mai, steamed hum bao, chicken feet and the steamed rice cakes. I did get a fried to order tilipia to go as well. This is a to go place only as they do not have any tables to sit and eat. I mean they do have a couple but they seem to do some work on them as they had the telephone and paperwork on the tables when I was there. read more

Deep fried (light batter) chicken wings for your parties or periods of gluttony. Currently $6/lb, but subject to change like the weather... Make sure you order them fresh or else they'll give you the ones sitting under the warming lamp. Also be sure to watch them carefully as they weigh the wings or whatever you are purchasing. Oh yeah, they have a parking lot in front, but just beware of the big potholes. read more

Love their shu mai and ha gow which are both very reasonably priced. Makes great appetizers for a party, visiting gift, or sometimes we just take 'em home for a dim sum dinner! read more

Beacon B.B.Q. - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Places like this make me feel grateful I live in the south side--dim sum as TAKE OUT? Hells to the yes. If you don't want to wait for carts, crowds, and noisy dining rooms but still want a giant dose of shiu mai or har gow, this is the place to go. They have decent BBQ duck as well, though i do wish the skin was a tad crispier. Overall, if I need to have a dim sum lunch or dinner at home, this is the place to go. Bonus: some parking at the front! No frills, kinda dive-y inside, but kinda cool that I saw someone actually rolling the dumpling dough. read more

I had to order a tray for my workplace, and it was SO MUCH NICER to order in person. Perhaps it was just one employee that answered the call who was rude? I am still a little off from my previous experience, but those who ate the food enjoyed it. read more

This place used to be very good , but seems to be very uneven now. The dim sum is ok but getting to be as expensive or more expensive than a sit down restaurant. Also the fillings in the steamed buns is getting smaller and smaller. BBQ items are ok but not inexpensive by any means. The service is generally nice . They do a lot of trays and whole roast pigs for parties on the weekends. It's pretty fast for a quick bbq and dim sum. They do tend to use a lot of sesame oil in the steamed items. The chicken feet used to be the best around not so much now. But still, give it a try if you're in the area. They have a good size parking lot too. read more

I driver all the way to beacon hill for dim sum. I used to come here every week when I first discovered it. Definitely better than dim sum places in east side and Chinatown as well. Dim sums are much fresher than jade garden or harbor city. They don't have much variety but their shumai, hakao and shrimp with chives are solid. I get black bean pork every time. It's only 6 bucks I think. It's so cheap. Try this place. read more

The dim sum selection isn't much but what they do have is great and the portions are really big. If you're looking to grab dim sum to go this is a the place. Not a sit down type of place. read more

This place was INCREDIBLY FILTHY inside. The glass of the steam table had specks of gunk covering it. The large steamer for the humbao was sitting on a counter without temperature controls. The customer area had boxes sitting around without any rhyme or reason. Even the menu boards were filthy. The meat in the humbao tasted old and the texture was woody. Did I say this place was dirty? read more

their price is ok, compare to other dimsum places, but when it comes to pay, you need to do your own calculation too! The lady always round UP your items, even if it was less than 50 cents, she will round up to $1! When asked, she said that the owner told her to do so. read more

I usually frequent this place but the last two times had been horrible. My most recent visit they gave me old pork and it was spoiled! I need to find a different place now since this place has gone downhill. Horrible. read more

Beacon B.B.Q. - I bought a lb and halfway through we realized the pork was spoiled. The skin is rubbery. Couldn't finish it. - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My favorite place for takeout dim sum fast and easy! I love the chive dumpling and the shrimp dumpling with the B.B.Q. pork bun so yummy!

Food here is good especially SIOPAO! Love this store and cheaper than Seafood City which is too much.

I came here in advance like they told me to and prepaid for two large trays of chow mien, two large trays of beef broccoli for today and they didn't have it ready they had the date wrong. Consequently the hombows weren't ready too. I understand stuff happens but have some customer service. No I'm sorry no discount. Good maybe good but the service sucks. I was late delivering the food to the banquet. Never coming back again. read more

This is my go-to store to buy Lechon (whole roast pig) and Siu Mai (biggest and best in Seattle). Their Har gow is pretty good too.

Legitimate traditional Cantonese style dim sum. Everything is made fresh - dumplings, buns, etc. The location is not fancy - we got take out and enjoyed it at home. Great price too. read more

Wednesday I came around 5pm, tried to buy bbq pork roast meat to eat. First, I pointed out the crispy skin that I want to buy but the owner age around 40 years old pick shitty meat no crispy, almost old give it to me. I don't recommend this place treat costumer right it's all about the owner. This place bad service. read more

I ordered food for my sons birthday a week prior to the event and when I got there to pick it up it wasn't ready. I was a little annoyed because I was already short on time and I had to wait 35 minutes for chicken wings that didn't really have any flavor.. I also ordered beef and broccoli and not even a full day later the broccoli was spoiled. Other then that, though they're disorganized, I really like their dim sum. I wish they would of spent more time on my order then putting it off last minute. read more
