If you're looking for one of the best dim sum spots in Houston's Chinatown, Crown Seafood Restaurant is easily my go-to. This has become our favorite place for dim sum in the Bellaire area. It's perfect for family meals or even small celebrations--there's always a lively atmosphere, and it really feels like a traditional dim sum experience. We have our usual lineup every time we come, and it never disappoints: * Steamed shrimp dumplings (har gow) * Steamed pork shu mai and pork/shrimp shu mai * Deep fried shrimp dumplings * Deep fried crab claws * Pan-fried taro and turnip cake * Pan-fried stuffed bell peppers * Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce * Steamed BBQ pork buns * Steamed rice noodle rolls with shrimp Everything comes out fresh, hot, and flavorful. One thing that really stands out is the portion size--the dumplings here are noticeably larger than most other dim sum spots in the area, which makes it feel like you're getting great value. We usually pair everything with a pot of jasmine tea, and sometimes add a few Vietnamese iced coffees, which hit the spot perfectly with all the savory dishes. Overall, it's always a treat whenever we're able to stop by for lunch. Great food, generous portions, and a perfect place to gather with family--highly recommend if you're craving dim sum in Houston. read more

Crown Seafood Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Houston, Texas

Here's to more dim sum and Chinese banquet style dinners! Crown Seafood is still thriving in Chinatown and continues to serve dim sum brunch, lunch, and dinner with a large variety of Chinese food including all kinds of meat, veggies, and seafood. Find traditional Cantonese style dishes here that involve steaming, stir-frying, braising, or roasting... more than most large Chinese restaurants in the area. After my last review from 2016 (yes, a whole decade ago!), a re-evaluation is much needed. In the past decade, I've noticed that several restaurants in Chinatown have opened and closed. To survive and succeed in the food & beverage industry is not easy, but Crown Seafood is still going strong. Nothing much has changed except for the exterior design of their building. They still serve the same quality of food consistently and service is good albeit a bit rushed. The dim sum is something I often recommend to friends and family visiting or locals who want to devour these small, bite-sized dishes. I wouldn't claim this is the place for the best Chinese style seafood, but it is very consistent and definitely satisfies the craving. The stir-fried dishes have the right kind of charred aroma aka wok hei which may or may not be satisfactory at other restaurants. I'm just glad that they seem to be doing great and continue to serve our community. read more

Wow. Just wow! This place is huge and was extremely busy this afternoon. It was very loud for a short time. We came at 2:30 and by 3:00 (the end of dim sum service) the place was nearly empty. But the food came quickly and all the staff are friendly. This place rates easily as good as our favorite dim sum place in Edmonton, Canada. We will definitely be back soon (but not tomorrSo so so good. read more

This review is long overdue. Crown Seafood is one of my go-to to places for dim sum. Best time to arrive is 11am on a weekend. Didn't realize there was construction at the entrance, so I couldn't find the place for a moment! Crown Seafood is spacious and I always like glancing at the pretty light fixtures! You write down your order and the waiter takes the paper. Service was prompt and food gradually came out quickly. - ha cao (steamed shrimp dumpling, they don't skimp out on the shrimp filling!) - shrimp xiu mai - banh cuon tom (rice noodle w/ shrimp) - Fried taro puff - Fried shrimp & pork puff (mochi like texture) - cai lan dau hao (Chinese broccoli w/ oyster sauce) - Fried shrimp ball (crispy/hot!) I'll be back whenever I have another dim sum craving haha. read more

I usually go here for dim sum right when they open. They're pretty consistent with their dishes and the prices are reasonable. Despite them being very busy especially on the weekends, the service is still pretty fast. Also, the space is surprisingly very spacious and looks even bigger from the inside. For the food, I recommend getting the typical popular dishes. One down side is I wish the Xiao long bao is more soupy/juicier but that could be a personal preference. read more

Always a great date night to visit china town! This place is undergoing construction but still open for business and the food is still 5 stars! Everything from the waitress staff to the food was delightful! Overall, very satisfied with my visit. Happy Yelping read more

Definitely a good Dim Sum place, owned by the right people --- Cantonese Chinese. Foods: Most good Chinese restaurants focus on the quality of their foods; especially, if the owners have previously opened restaurants in HongKong or other large cities in the GuangDong province. The DimSum dishes were excellent: the meats and vegetables were very fresh, tasty, and deliciously prepared. They are not overly seasoned (like some restaurants that use subpar seafoods and condiments were used to mask poor quality seafoods). Their seafoods were fresh so there is no need for heavy-handed seasoning. the DimSum dishes were steamed to the right level, steamy hot but not overly steamed. Service: We had a large table of like 10-12 persons and I think we had a dedicated server. She was attentive, professional and handled her job well. Ambience: It's typical DimSum place, so it's busy, bustling. Summary: Would I return? Absolutely, for the quality of the foods. read more

I came to Crown Seafood Restaurant 金冠海鲜酒家 to get some pictures with dumplings. It's been too long since I stopped by last. I ordered a cup of Tonic Soup, Lava Bun 流沙包 and the Imitation Shark Fin Dumplings 香茜鱼翅饺 to eat in and Vegetarian Egg Rolls. I also ordered Beef Flat Rice Noodles 鼓椒牛河 to go. The soup, bun and dumplings were good. I went home to find out the noodles were all broken apart. Not sure if that's how it should be. The flavor was good though. Service was okay as I came in after their lunch rush on a Sunday afternoon. Looked like they were changing shift and eating lunch. My food came out pretty quick. Oh, they charged me $2 for a pot of hot water. Ughhhh read more

A busy spot for Dim Sum. The service was quick and easy. Great for bug groups so you can eat family style.

Was home from Austin so I wanted to grab some legit dim sum while I was in town. We came around 1130 on Sunday and waited about 30 minutes for a table. This place did not have the dim sum carts which was a huge disappointment. However, the dim sum we ordered were all pretty good. The service was a bit lacking. I decided to add xiao long bao after our initial order and they had forgotten about it for 15 minutes. When we asked to go ahead and cancel the xiao long bao, they brought it right out. I would like to try another dim sum place with the carts next time I'm in town. read more

Exceptional dim sum place with very spacious interior having many tables (almost like a ballroom or convention center size) and great service. Usually meet up with my family in Houston (cousins, uncles and aunts) for Thanksgiving pre-lunch and was in town during March so met up with them there. As you can see their selection is great, a spread including rice rolls, dumplings, fried rice, shu mai and more. Highly recommended! read more

We like the ambiance - this is a big restaurant with high ceilings and plenty of seating. Tables are quite far apart. It looks clean and relatively modern by Chinatown standards. It's a great place to hang out with friends to chit chat, as there's plenty of seating. The service is quick and efficient - no complaints there. We have been here multiple times for dim sum and food. Prices are decent, but the dim sum just isn't as tasty as other options in Chinatown. read more

Came out to Crown Seafood for a saturday brunch with a friend right at opening time, and there were already people seated! Entering in, the large dining room is nicely decorated and within an hour, the place was packed with a wait so come early or be prepared if you're coming on a weekend. Because it was just me and my friend, we didn't order too much but some highlights would be the shu mai and the baked bbq pork buns! The soup dumpling had a thicker wrapper than I would've liked so I would actually recommend trying the other dumplings. Also, we ordered shrimp har gow which never came but was added to my bill. They were kind when I asked them about the mistake and luckily we didn't order too much so it was an easy fix. Overall, not a bad dim sum spot and is definitely one of the more well known ones in Houston. Just a warning, no dim sum carts here for the most part! read more

I love the dimsum here because the quality is very consistent and very affordable. Chicken feet (5/5): very flavorful, done well and big enough Pork and Shrimp Shumai (4/5): very delicious. I should have given them a 5/5. But I have had a lot of good dimsum and pretty picky about it. Taro puff (4/5): hot and crunchy but a little bit too dry. Shrimp rice roll (5/5): texture and flavor is great Stir fried egg noodle (1/5): they gave us a huge plate for $7 but it was flavorless, oily and undercooked. Chicken sticky rice in lotus leaf(3.5/5): sticky rice has a good texture and flavor, but the filling is chicken so it is pretty underwhelming. It would be better if there's pork belly and salted egg Scallion and Ginger Lobster (2/5): lobsters aren't fresh. Not much flavor and very underwhelming read more

TL;DR: This is my new top dimsum place in Houston. I don't often get a dimsum craving, but it hits at least once a year. Now that I've found this place, maybe I'd come more often. After about a 20 minute wait on Memorial Day wknd Sunday at noon, we sat far in the back of the restaurant. This apparently is the cheat key to getting the freshest food possible, right as the dishes come rolling out of the kitchen. The service is prompt, as employees power walk with carts toward faces lighting up and necks craning to see which delicacies are joining them next - more celebrated than the models on runways at NYFW and surely with more step counts to boot. The table arrangements themselves create runways of sorts for the carts to roll through, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant is bright, uncluttered, and clean despite its size and the number of patrons that come through. We got and would get again: - Steamed shrimp xiumai 5/5 - Deep fried taro puff 4.75/5 - Sticky rice with meat in lotus leaf 4.5/5 - Steamed mushroom chicken bun 4.5/5 Would not get again: - Steamed rice noodle with beef brisket 2/5 - Steamed mini bun (xiaolongbao) 1/5 - Oolong tea at $1.50/person - will get jasmine instead, because - what was I thinking. I think changfen (steamed rice noodle) may not be a strong suit of this place. I'll try another changfen dish before sticking with that sentiment. And instead would try: - Stuffed tofu - Fried turnip cake - Fried tofu skin - Maybe the fried crab claws The steamed buns were soft, the fried taro puff was crispy, and everything (even the reheated or previously-frozen stuff like beef belly/brisket or sticky rice) was served hot. We'll be back. read more

Here today! I had the pleasure of visiting Crown Seafood Restaurant because of the Celebrity Chef Event the weekend aka Southern Smoked Festival held Annually, I privately transported culinary chiefs out to dinner and this is where 50% of them dined for the evening and so did I! The restaurant is located on the west side of Houston known as "China town" and on Friday nights it's a busy area, actually it's busy most days and nights. Anywho, China Town is known to have the best in Asian cuisine per tourists and last year I brought them to the area to another restaurant ( This is yet another reason why I love Houston y'all) If it's popular to them.....yuuup I'm eating here as well. The restaurant is a huge banquet building with many, many round tables after looking at the menu and seeing other diners PING the light bulbs in my mind went off....Asians frequently dine as family's and eat buffet style. The menu offered 2 pages of group food options to share, my bad I wasn't thinking about Yelping when I ordered ya girl was hungryyyy. I ordered Spicy Singapore Rice Noodles with shrimp and customized it with vegetables, shoots I was starving I forgot to ask for eggs. When they presented me with my dish, I looked at the chair next to me and asked the invisible man if he wanted to share hahahaha! It was delicious.....DEEELICIOUS I tell you. I sat at my table alone watched a movie and ate EVERY last bite. Out of respect for my guests and complimentary Lexus Suv, I didn't want to smell up the truck (as a chauffeur its part of etiquette) and absolutely I WAS NOT throwing away JACK :)). If you look at my plate, they did not hold back on the shrimp at taulll! Spicy but not too spicy, however a little dry tho. Still 5 star dish and 5 star service. Here today and YUZZZ would return tomorrow! read more

I was coming back into town from a weekend to the beach with family deciding where to eat? Ultimately we decided to go with Dim Sum and chosen to visit Crown Seafood Restaurant. Believe it or not, I am aware where the location is but have never ate there but around the area both in the plaza and across the street. We were fortunate to come in when the weekend rush for dim sum was slowing down. Walking into the restaurant, the dinning area is large, wide, many tables with seating. My family did the ordering and picked items like the taro puffs, siu mai, beef tripe, sticky rice, beef rice rolls, and especially the chicken feet. The food was good as well. I have not come across a bad dim sum restaurant in Houston. Crown does have a nice condensed menu for dim sum but also a full menu. The service was fast and attentive. It did not take very long for most of the food to arrive at the table. But I know the staff are constantly busy and moving. And I did appreciate the importance of cleanliness especially from the food runners by wearing gloves. Overall I wished I had eaten at Crown seafood all these years. But Houston's Chinatown is abundant of many restaurants especially Chinese cuisine. I would have given the experience a 4.5 out of 5 because of the 2 orders of shrimp Siu Mai were overlooked and were brought towards the end when we were about to pay the bill. Also the restroom temperature was freezing cold. Otherwise no major concerns so I give it the benefit of the doubt. Sure I would like to come back. Very appropriate for family and large groups. read more

I came here after they opened at 10:30am on a Sunday. After 11am-12pm, it starts to get busy and you will have to wait a bit before you get seated. I have come here a couple of times but some of the food I tried were okay; it was a hit or miss. I especially didn't like the steamed rice noodle with shrimp. The shrimp inside was definitely not their best and it left a pretty bad taste. The same goes for the shrimp in the Steamed Shrimp Dumpling. The chicken feet was a challenge; I preferred it to be more steamed and easier to eat. Both the shrimp and pork ingredients in the foods were just okay. Out of all the dishes, my favorite was the egg custard. It does take a while to get the staff attention but pretty understanding since it was busy. They do check and refill your drinks often. read more

I've long heard of the amazing food at Crown Seafood, and I was happy to finally try it out for myself. For my first time there, I ordered an arrangement of classic dim sum dishes and the Crown Seafood lobster special. Instead of dim sum carts, the waitress will take your order form to the back then roll out the dishes in a cart to your table. I thought it was an unique approach, and rather prefer it this way so that the food stays fresh and hot! The menus contain pictures of all the dishes, so you don't need the rolling carts to actually know what the dishes looked like, and yet you still get the traditional experience of seeing your food transferred from cart to table when they fulfill your order. For the pricing of the dim sum dishes, I was surprised by the portions received! Very satisfying and definitely left me with unexpected leftovers as breakfast for the next day. If you would like to try more than two dishes, I would certainly suggest bringing some friends with you to share; four people seems like the perfect number to split the dim sum and give everyone a try of each dish. Pro tip #1: if you order the lobster special, consider bringing the scrap parts home for another meal of lobster noodle soup! We brought home the tail, the head, and some other claw parts that we couldn't break open in the restaurant along with the ginger/onion, boiled it in water for a few minutes, then put in the noodles, and mmm, I drool just thinking about it again. Highly recommend! Pro tip #2: The restaurant is well designed with a large space, great for gatherings and celebrations. If you request ahead of time, the restaurant can close off spaces for you and your party. read more

Between all the heavy hitters in the dim sum scene in H-Town, Crown Seafood is often mentioned as the local's choice for its massive banquet dining hall and old school push carts (weekend only) showcasing a solid variety of items. I don't mind coming here, but I've yet to be impressed with the food. For me, it's a 3 star spot until further notice. With high ceilings, bright lights, and the dizzying array of round tables, it's easy to see why this is a preferred option for big groups. Every day there's a decent crowd, but the waits tend to be more of a thing on the weekends. Bathrooms are not great, so approach with caution. The novelty of push cart dim sum is a bigger thing in the west than it is in a place like Hong Kong. Back in the motherland, the idea of food sitting out on cart for X amount of time has become unappealing, thus many restaurants have opted for the a la carte / check box on paper menu format instead. I think the former applies in this scenario as some of the items just feel like they've been sitting out a little too long. There are some decent items that solid in a pinch. Namely the very plump shrimp siu mai (蝦燒賣), lotus leaf glutinous rice (糯米雞), a crunchy glutinous fried pork dumpling (鹹水角), and a very hearty sweet cream bun (奶黃包). The rest has either a little too much breading (bbq pork bun), or overly thick skin (such as the shrimp dumplings), or is very plain (egg tarts). I will say their dinner service is more optimal for me, since their platters are huge and the noodles, vegetables (especially the stir fried pea shoots), and steamed fish / lobster preparation gets an A for effort. The only downside is that they're closed by 8pm practically every night. Prices aren't as high as their nearby competition, but the other places usually have better service and ambiance. Crown's service can be a flop at times when it comes to being tended to, but it's likely they're just simply understaffed. Speaking Cantonese is not necessarily a guarantee here either, but seeing as every person on the wait staff speaks something, be it Mandarin or Vietnamese or English, it's usually enough to appease the many folks coming here on the daily. read more

We came here around noon on a weekend and that was a mistake. It opened at 10:30 am and it was packed. I guess if you want to have minimal waiting then try to get there when it opens. After we got seated, we looked at the menus and placed our order. It didn't take long for us to start receiving food and we ordered a lot. Everything is bigger in Texas is a true statement. The portions were a lot bigger than the ones back in Chicago. The menu had a vast selection. Prices were reasonable for the size of the food.

Plenty of dim sum to choose from in Houston especially off Bellaire. What I like about this restaurant, you order off a menu with a paper and pencil. If those that know what they want and they want it quick, it saves alot of time and space from the traditional push carts. The food is very high quality, home made, fresh ingredients. The seafood is amazing, tender clam meat and the easier to eat crab. Most readers already know the traditional dishes so I won't explain the texture, taste because it's all what I expect, good quality dim sum. All the dishes I had were tasty. I really love the shrimp and beef roll, it wasn't too overly oily which I love and it was firm the roll itself. Great experience. read more

Crown Seafood has been a Bellaire family style staple for seafood, dim sum, and all the Asian favorites in between. The huge dining room is way bigger inside than it seems from the outside. I wouldn't call this place the cleanest looking restaurant, but at least it's great for big parties. Think of your hole in the wall type restaurant with authentic food, but on a larger scale. The service is quick here just because they serve so many people. Almost too quick like it seems like they are rushing you to order, but it honestly didn't bother us. Food wise, come hungry and try everything. Our favorites were: Crab meat fish maw soup Peking duck Honey walnut shrimp Ginger scallion lobster Salt toasted squid Snow pea leaves w/ garlic sauce Eggplant w/ garlic sauce Chef special crispy noodle Overall, the food is pretty good here. Just know that if you come on the weekends, expect a little wait just because of how busy they get, especially for dim sum. Enjoy! read more

Tried Crown Seafood a second time and I think I may have been underselling it a bit! I definitely enjoyed the food much more this time! I ordered mainly the same dishes--the chicken feet, egg yolk cream bun, friend turnip cake, shrimp har gao, siu mai--and a couple new ones, specifically the taro bun and beef tripe! The new dishes I tried were very delicious and were outside of what I would typically order but I enjoyed them! The taro bun was extra crispy on the outside and soft and sweet inside. The beef tripe is a big portion, making it so easy to share with my friend! read more

**SOLID DIM SUM WITH FAIR PRICES** Seriously, not the best, but definitely not the worst. A solid choice if you have dim sum cravings. ORDERED ========= Crab Meat & Asparagus Soup Steamed Shrimp Xiu Mai Steamed Mushroom & Chicken Bun Sticky Rice with Meat in Lotus Leaf Steamed Egg Custard Buns Sweet Red Bean Sesame Ball Egg custards Most of the food items were not THAT salty, so that was good enough for me. My least favorite was the sticky rice in lotus leaf (bland) and my most favorites were the sesame balls and egg custards (tasty and not too sweet). The crab meat soup was $14.99, which was reasonably priced. Actually tasted good, too. The service can be a hit or miss. Meaning, they can be bossy and upsell you on chicken feet or whatever. I wanted to review the receipt, and our waitress took it personally. But the service was fast and efficient. RECOMMEND for those craving solid dim sum with good prices in Houston. read more

Crown Seafood Restaurant - Dim sum life. - Dim Sum Near Me - Houston, Texas

I think this is my new favorite dim sum spot. It's spacious and clean, and I really like the service here. The wait varies of course depending on time and day. We got there around 11am on a Sunday and it was about a 15 mins wait. Once we got our wait number, we went ahead and grabbed a menu and our dim sum ordering sheet. Makes everything go faster once we get seated and just hand our order sheet to the server. Our food came out at a decent rate, and our beverages were consistently refilled. I really appreciated this as it's really difficult to wave anyone down in a busy Asian restaurant for drink refills. Some dishes were just okay, but for the most part I really did enjoy the bbq pork banh cuon, pork's blood, steam custard buns, fried taro, and the xíu mai. I most definitely enjoyed this place better than Kim Son and Ocean's Palace dim sum. read more

First time! You have to wait for everybody in your party to show up before you claim a table. We didn't wait long at all surprisingly (1 minute), even though the place was packed on Mother's Day. Dim Sum here was really good! You get a piece of paper where you can write down how many servings of dim sum you want. There are pictures provided for the more common dim sum dishes. Everything was warm and filling. I like Bolay (Pu'er) tea, so that's what we got and it was a good taste, though I wish there was also a teapot of boiled water too to adjust the tea if we wanted to. The chicken feet had a classic sweet taste and black peppers. Har gow (shrimp dumplings) easily fell apart but the shrimp is nice. We shouldn't have gotten so many rice noodles (we ordered 3 dishes for six people). We finished but 2 is plenty. The Lazy Susan is hard to spin and the MSG leaves you really thirsty after, but the experience was enjoyable. read more

Crown Seafood has all the dimsum classics, at a great price and pretty speedy. Highly recommend the pork ribs with black bean sauce, siu mai, har gow, and steamed rice noodle. Note the turnip cake has the dried mini shrimp, which is a taste I never got used to, just in case! Come early or else you'll be waiting, and you know how long Asians can 'brunch'. Parking is plenty but you might have to walk across the lot. We ordered quite a few dishes and the total price was only $40? In Houston, you can truly have dimsum every weekend! read more

Came here on a Saturday for a late dim sum brunch. We were seated immediately upon arrival. The dining room is very large and so can accommodate a great number of people. We opted for 2 different kinds of shumai, fried shrimp dumplings, another fried shrimp dish, lava buns, and Chinese broccoli. It was a good amount of food for 2, and we had some leftovers too. I particularly enjoyed the shumai but thought the fried items were a bit weaker than at other dim sum spots. They provide you with soy sauce and chili oil, however, I with there was also ginger and vinegar. Service is fast. Parking is plentiful in the lot out front. read more

Been coming to this restaurant since they opened, both for dim sum and for dinner as well. Both have not disappointed. The space is large and can definitely accommodate large parties. We've had 14 people somehow fit into a table, Hong Kong style. When they have it available, I do love the 菠萝流沙包 Baked Egg Yolk Cream Bun.

Great dim sum place! Unfortunately they don't have the traditional physical carts that they push around, you order from a menu where you list how many of each dish you want. Pros to this- the food comes out fresh and hot. Cons- we typically order too much because we always come hungry and don't know when to stop.
