Supreme Dumplings completely exceeded my expectations. I've been to a lot of dumpling spots, but…read morethis one stands out because every dish tasted like it was made fresh to order. You can tell there's real attention to detail, from the way the dumplings are folded to the balance of flavors in every bite. The soup dumplings were the highlight of the meal. The wrappers were thin but held together perfectly, and each dumpling was packed with rich, flavorful broth without falling apart. The filling was juicy, well-seasoned, and tasted incredibly fresh. It's one of those dishes where you instinctively slow down because you don't want to waste a single bite. We also tried a few other dishes to share, and everything was just as impressive. The noodles had the perfect texture, the fried items stayed crispy without feeling greasy, and every plate came out hot and beautifully prepared. Nothing felt rushed or mass-produced, which made the meal feel even more enjoyable. The restaurant itself had a clean, welcoming atmosphere with an open kitchen that let you watch the dumplings being made by hand. Seeing the chefs folding each dumpling added to the experience and gave you confidence that everything was being prepared with care. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service stayed attentive and friendly. Our food arrived quickly, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. What impressed me most was how balanced everything felt. A lot of places rely on oversized portions or heavy seasoning, but Supreme Dumplings lets the quality of the ingredients speak for themselves. Every dish had its own character, and nothing overshadowed the next. This is the kind of restaurant you'll find yourself recommending to friends the moment they ask where to get great dumplings. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, it's easy to see why this place has built such a loyal following. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu, but the soup dumplings will always be my first order.

We came here for the high ratings but it wasn't as good as expected. It was good but not great,…read moreand the honey walnut shrimp was so bad we had to send it back; it was soggy, had some strange mayo sauce that was not complimentary and just was not at all what you would expect for this dish, especially as it was soggy! The dumplings were fresh and tasted good but they all kind of tasted the same, in other words with the sauces one dumpling tasted like the next. So it was good, but in no way great as the ratings lead you to expect. No pictures for this meal as it was unremarkable.

I read in Seattle Times that Shanghai Garden was closing (now closed). I decided to pay them a…read morevisit despite the fact that I have never ate there all these decades. I also waited until they are really closed to write this review (no need to write a 2 Stars review when they are already closing). Their food was rather bland and looked lifeless; in Chinese terms, that means no wok hei. The inside was filled with people who read the same Seattle Times article. The servers were very busy trying to keep up. We sat at a table that is normally used for themselves, looking at their statues of deities that have blessed with decades of business (despite meh food). The Food: Beef with Barleygreen Hand Shaven Chow Mein, $21 - 2 Stars We are big fans of hand shaven noodles (go to Spicy Talk). When I read about a barleygreen variant, I was totally - sign me up! These noodles are boiled and lightly stir-fried with minimum seasoning, oil, and flame in a way that I would have made at home. That is a low bar (no joke). These are pale, possibly seasoned with maybe salt only. It was a dull dish. The beef is separately cooked; those pieces have a touch more flame. House Special Barleygreen Hand Shaven Chow Mein, $22 - 2 Stars Same comment for this combination dish of shrimp, chicken, and squid - it is even more pale and lifeless than the beef version. Pork Steamed Dumplings or Xiao Long Bao, $15 - 2 Stars Though folks will argue the origins of XLB, Shanghai is one of the supposed origins. With a restaurant name that has Shanghai in it, I thought their XLB should be good. Wrong. The skin is thick, and they have the look of machine-made pinched tip. These are similar to ones that I can buy frozen in an Asian market. The only good thing is the inside does have broth.

Shanghai House has been on my to-try list for quite some time, as Chinese restaurants on Eastside…read moreare usually pretty solid - I grew up eating Shanghai food, so I was excited to stop by and see how it is done in the greater Bellevue area. We went on a Wednesday around 6:30pm and had no wait to get seated. The restaurant has parking that is shared with many other vendors along a line, and I can definitely foresee parking becoming a issue during busy hours as there aren't a ton of parking spots - just to note during peak business hours. We were the only diners during our visit, so service was focused entire on us - I personally felt that the service could have been better as the waitress made us feel a bit rushed when ordering. The ambiance is casual dine in, with Chinese inspired decor. The lighting was a little bit off as it was pretty dim with a fluorescent color - unfortunately felt a bit like they were at closing time with the ambiance vibes. We ordered three dishes, which I'll review down below: Lions Head Meatballs ($25): I've had lion's head meatballs at another Chinese establishment on Eastside, and these are decent meatballs in comparison for very slightly cheaper. Tender and nice light flavor, it is nice that they are supplemented with bok choy as they are quite hearty. Salted Egg and Shrimp Tofu ($20): I think this was my favorite dish out of the three. Better quantity and the salted egg gives a nice creamy and subtle savory flavor, and goes nicely with rice. Tofu is cooked well, and there is a small scattering of shrimp throughout the plate. Shanghai Style Braised Kaofu ($15): A cold Shanghai kaofu is a classic dish that I've tried many times, and I think a restaurant should serve if they are Shanghainese. The kaofu has nice flavor - not too sweet and not too salty with a pleasing spongey texture. I only wished that the quantity was bigger for $15 - the spoon for scale really gives the impression of how large the plate was, and underneath the initial layer of kaofu you see in the picture, there unfortunately wasn't any more, just other components like bamboo shoots and woodear. Though most of the dishes had good flavor, the pricing was steep considering the amount of food you get for the price you pay. I left still feeling a bit hungry as Shanghai dishes are usually lighter and don't fill you up as much. Though there aren't too many other Shanghai restaurants to compare to on Eastside, I'll probably put Shanghai House at like a 3.5/5 in all things considered.

Prices felt reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. If you're looking for a place with tasty food and friendly service, this is definitely worth a visit. I highly recommend stopping by and making sure to order the chicken wontons - you won't regret it!

The store is a little different now that Rooster & Rice has taken over some of the kitchen. In the ordering area, the left two kiosks are solely for Rooster & Rice, while the right three kiosks are for Xiao Chi Jie and Bento Bliss. The menu is drastically shortened, with all the Mila products and the Jianbing being removed. Honestly not a bad removal given how mediocre I thought they were. And surprisingly, pricing ($12.99) for the 5pc Sheng Jian Bao hasn't increased in the almost 2 years since my first visit. Their method of cook is traditional, bunching a large number of bao together with oil and water in an oversized and specialized pan just for this dish (with the required cover for steaming, of course). The quality remains the exact same as my first visit - good amount of fatty interior rendered aspic, strong umami and aromatic flavoring on the pork meatball filling, and a nice thin doughy skin. It's a very solid SJB, and probably the best that can be found in the Seattle metro.

Understandable but came the following week and more than half the items were unavailable. The food tastes the same but was barely warm whereas before it was hot and steaming. At the time we came, they did not have hot sauce and they did not provide sauce for the dumplings until we requested it. Service was okay. Given all the other choices in Bellevue and the price I would not recommend this place. If you want limited choices with barely warm food then this would be your spot.
