Dim Sum House is absolutely one of Seattle's best kept secrets! From the moment you walk in, they treat you like family and make you feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated. The service alone would keep me coming back, but the food is absolutely AMAZING too!! Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, from the rolls to the dumplings and everything in between; and the place is clean and smells so great! I never would have imagined that this hidden gem would be so perfect, but it completely exceeded my expectations! If you love authentic dim sum, great service, and being treated like family, you have to visit Dim Sum House. In my opinion, this is hands down the best dim sum restaurant in Seattle. I can't wait to come back. You guys know that I don't give 5 stars normally but this one's an EASY FIVE STARS!!! read more

Probably the best balance of quality and price for dim sum in the Seattle area. I regularly get take-out here. I used to live within 10 minutes by car. I'm not as close now, but if I work OT on the weekends, I try to stop by on my way home. It's such a nice resource in this neighborhood (Beacon Hill). Prices have gone up a little, relatively recently. Used to be $5.95 for most dim sum dishes and they are not $6.25. And fried rice and noodle dishes used to be $14.45 to $16.00. Now they range from $15.95 to $17.95. But they are still very fair prices for the Seattle area. Har gow and siu mai are solid choices. Lo bak go, rice rolls, chicken feet all good quality. Ham sui gok (football dumplings) have generous filling. Small and quite noisy dining room. You will probably wait for a table if you come during peak hours. Ordering take-out is the better move here. If you do dine in, you might end up sharing one of the large tables with other customers (not a big deal). They are very busy here with a small staff, so don't expect non-stop attention from the servers. Dinner menu is quite good also. It's worth exploring and if you live nearby, it is so convenient. Give them your business and help keep prices low! read more

My brother likes this place. He always asked to eat here when he visited. They don't have of him tables. I would stick with dimsum menu. We did not like their wonton soup. The wait could be long for food because they have a lot of to go. Come early if you want bake custard buns. They ran out. I like sumai and shrimp egg rolls. Parking has been okay to me. read more

I've been missing Harbor City since they closed in the CID. Hubby and I made a jaunt to my old stomping grounds in Beacon Hill to check out Dim Sum House. What drew me in were the shrimp toast and the shrimp egg rolls, which were good! The baked bbq pork bun and football's are huge! The fun guo (teochew dumpling) was flavorful. The pork puff pastry (char siu sou) was a little too dense for our taste. This place has big portions and good flavor, which made me happy that this is a good fill-in for the departed Harbor City in Seattle. Their prices are similar to what you find in CID except Dim Sum House portions are bigger and tastier. I'm looking forward to coming back to try some more of their steamed dim sum items. read more

Visited this place for a quick dinner on 7/12/2026. The place is clean and the workers were welcoming. We had egg drop soup, string beans with garlic, salt paper pork chops, pork hash, and honey walnut shrimp. The food was good, came out hot and prepared well, only reason for one less star was that it needed a little more seasoning. But the place must be good because it started filling in and even Chinese people were eating there if you understand what I mean. It's worth giving it a second try. read more

Came here with a party of six on a Saturday afternoon and got seated right away. We initially sat at a smaller table (2x3 table) but once the party that sat at the round table left, they offered for us to move over there, which was nice since the original table was pretty tight. The dim sum was really good. My favorites were the Teochew dumplings and shumai. I wasn't really a fan of the congee though. Tea was good too. Service was meh. They took forever to take our order and it took a very long time to get our sakes. But it was really busy that day and they were a lot of to go orders. Food came out at a decent pace though and the staff was friendly. read more

This is a great no frills Chinese Food and Dim Sum restaurant. Each meal comes with complementary hot tea, which was delicious. I ordered several items from the menu, all items were delicious and cooked perfectly. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Stumbled upon this gem of a place in the heart of Beacon Hill on a random black Friday and was pleasantly surprised at the service and at the quality of the food. I ordered a chicken curry for a friend and it was absolutely delicious. Love the old school family vibe in this place look forward to being back to try it again! read more

This Goblin knows his way around dim sum, so trust when I say that you'll find what you are looking for. It's a decent sized menu, with a small amount of seating. You'll be feasting, with a bit of patience. Salt and Pepper Tofu was a standout at our last family holiday. Service is authentic and low-key. Prices are reasonable. Yum! read more

Sometimes, it pays to take a chance... My wife and I had a hankering for congee, and we didn't want to schlep all the way to Chinatown and deal with the parking hassles. My AI suggested this place, and we thought we'd give it a whack. From the outside, this place doesn't look very impressive, but as you know, you shouldn't always judge a book by its cover, and sometimes those 'holes in the wall' can have some pretty good food. THE ROSES: While it has no dedicated parking lot, DSH is located on a part of Beacon Avenue that's a boulevard with parking in the middle. The prices are reasonable, the servings are generous, and the food is actually pretty good! For a small restaurant and small kitchen, the menu is remarkably broad and comprehensive with classic Cantonese cuisine. It is clear that this place is popular with the local community, because as we got closer to the lunch hour, it got real busy with local families and groups! It appears to also do a fairly brisk takeaway business. The service, while a bit brusque, was efficient and thorough. THE THORNS: From the outside, this place honestly doesn't look that promising. It definitely has a 'hole-in-the-wall' look to it. This isn't the place you'd take someone you wanted to impress (unless they're adventurous and dedicated foodies like you!). It doesn't help that the food safety placard on the door indicates DSH could only eke out an 'Okay' rating (the lowest rating you can get and still stay open) doesn't exactly boost one's confidence. Still, I've eaten in places a lot more grotty than this, and outside of the venue looking quite old and 'well-loved', the spaces I saw certainly looked clean enough. The dining room is a bit on the small side, and when it's busy in here, it can get quite loud. WHY FOUR STARS: Yes, the place *looks* like a pit, but when it comes to the food, Dim Sum House delivers the goods! For me, the food is foremost, so four stars for these guys. THE VERDICT: The adage, 'You can't judge a book by its cover' is no more true than here. If atmosphere and being in an Asian restaurant where you want to 'See and be seen' is important to you, I suppose you can always go to Chef Morimoto's Momosan in Chinatown, but for me, when I go to a Chinese restaurant, find it full, and note that I'm the only white guy there, I'm fairly sure I'm in for some decent chow. Dim Sum House did not disappoint. Recommend. read more

Great dim sum steamed to order right on Beacon Hill. Lots of variety, from seafood fishes( I saw a family order spot prawns & lobster in ginger scallion sauce) right beside us as we were having dim sum around 11:30 AM on a Sunday. They are under new ownership but I'm unsure when that happened. I haven't been to Dim Sum House for several years due to poor service...but the ladies that work there now are very attentive & thorough. This was a pleasant surprise to know that I Dim Sum House is definitely back in my rotation. Everything we had was tasty & freshly made, except for the baked items which are in a big case...that's heated I believe. The dining room Is small with 2 large banquet tables on one side and about 6-8 2 & 4 top tables on the other side. We waited about 10 minutes for a table for 4 opened up but it was quick & worth it!. The restaurant has been newly renovated so it was clean & updated. I will definitely be back. read more

I've been coming to Dim Sum House in Beacon Hill because it's convenient when visiting family. The food is okay, though not as strong as some spots in the International District. Unfortunately, my recent experience was very disappointing. This was a to-go order totaling about $60. When I got home, I realized my wonton noodle portion was missing (only the broth was in the bag). I returned to the restaurant right away, but the woman who helped me, who appeared to be the owner or part of management, insisted that I already had it and even suggested that I had eaten it and came back for more. That accusation was embarrassing and unnecessary. Eventually, I was given the missing portion, but the situation could have been handled calmly and professionally from the START. I have never been so embarrassed around people eating and listening to our argument, and treated like a homeless person demanding for food. A simple apology and QUICK resolution would have gone a long way. Customer service and respect matter just as much as the food. read more

This little gem is the perfect neighborhood dim sum stop. I used to live in Washington and now reside in Arizona, so when I came home for a visit, my daughter brought us here. The place may be small, but it's packed with flavor. There's no ordering from carts--everything is ordered directly from the menu, which I actually loved. We arrived right when they opened, and it didn't take long before the place was completely full. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

This isn't the BEST dim sum place and it's definitely not as good as the popular spots in the International District, but it does satisfy the craving for dim sum when you really want it. We stopped here because the location was more convenient for us at the time. On a weekday at around 2pm there were 4 other parties eating here at the same time as us so I'm guessing it must get pretty crowded on weekends. I have no complaints about the service as it's basically what you would expect at any dim sum restaurant. Prices were reasonable and food portions were good. read more

This place is around since I was a kid and I am in my late 40's! We absolutely LOVE this neighborhood mom and pop dim sum cafe. Park in the public island parking lot and use the crosswalk. They serve way more than just dim sum there's a huge separate menu for non dim sum Chinese/szechuan classics. We tend to gravitate towards their mouth watering dim sum. They have a picture menu which makes ordering easy. It's not push cart style which is ok so it comes out hot and fresh. The dining area is small but we have never had to wait to dine in. If there's no small tables left for small parties, people sometimes just share a big table. They do a lot of take outs for locals. If I live close by, I would definitely frequent this place. Memorable must haves are their Dan Dan noodles; it's a healthy yet addicting dish. It's a milder version we love the use of cucumber and napa cabbage to balance out the gently creamy peanuty noodle dish. Stir/mix up then serve. Highly recommend for vegans. The waitress lady tells us it's one of their top sellers. You get a good size bowl for $12.95! Other favorites are their pork/shrimp shiu mai, fried shrimp egg rolls (oh yes!), baked bbq buns (they run out fast), garlic green beans (ask to make it Szechuan spicy- it's even better than ones at DTF), any of their steamed dumplings with that amazing dough like ha gow shrimp dumplings, scallop dumplings, vegetarian dumpling, pan fried daikon radish cake. My hubby really like the chili oil won tons but it's really not that spicy. If you like coconut, the "cocktail bun" or coconut bun in the deli case is sure loaded with coconut! There is a plethora of other baked or fried goodies in the deli case like sesame balls, Bo lo bau (pineapple bun-but it's not made with pineapple), the fried football shaped meat dumpling call hom sui gok, hot dog bun etc. I wish I can eat like I was a teenager! They even have congee if you are in the mood for that and it's actually good. I can tell all the other dim sum that we have not tried is legit based on the pics. Been going to dim sum all my life and the dim sum chefs back there know their stuff. Good size. What's not to love. Also, you get a free pot of hot tea to wash everything down. Cleanse your palate between each dim sum. They have a huge boba tea menu. The $5.50 coffee boba milk tea was delish! Worth the 1 hour drive for this culinary dive! Delicious hole in the wall experience in a decent neighborhood right across from the west Seattle supermarket on Beacon Ave S. Love this place!! read more

Absolutely wonderful dim sum experience! We ordered six different things and the only thing I was slightly disappointed with was the lack of thickness in the chow mein noodles, but everything else was so amazing that it really didn't matter! In fact, the scallion pancakes were the best scallion pancakes I've ever had in my entire life, and I've had many of them! I absolutely can't wait to go back and eat here again, I can tell this is going to be a staple for me and my family! read more

What a turnaround. I had been here many years ago and was not a fan. The memory of them heating a baked bao in the microwave was not a good sign. Fast forward several years and this place rates right up there with the fancier joints. I've usually been lucky to find a parking spot on the Beacon Ave median. Today's to-go order was packed with care. Won tons, noodles and greens packed separately from the soup and a piece of cardboard at the bottom to stabilize everything. Steamed bao good, fried football was crispy, chewy and full of pork, fun gor wrapper and crimp very good and not tough. I intended to get the pan fried yellow triangle shrimp and chive dumpling, but got the round, sesame topped version. Held the heat all the way across the WS Bridge and very juicy. Today's dough on the baked bao a little too dense but the filling was good. read more

Seems to have declined in quality. There is a taste of perhaps ( I can't tell exactly) of the cooking oil being used repeatedly, or tasting off. There is an annoying flavor that clings to the taste of the food. The fried rice was like plain white with very few vegetables or meat. It used to be a place I'd recommend but no longer. read more

My favorite dim sum restaurant in Seattle. I love the location and small dining room. I try to remind everyone, the space is small so it can pack out quickly, unless I have lots of time I often order to go so I can leisurely eat at home. I did this for Christmas morning with my family and it was a tasty, filling and quick meal at to enjoy in the comforts of home, that I am not capable of making. We ordered ha gao, deep fried crescents, Chinese broccoli, stuffed eggplant, sesame balls, egg custard tarts, bbq pork pastry, steamed bbq pork buns and chive and shrimp pan fried. read more

I love Dim Sum, and Dim Sum House on Beacon Hill was recommended. This was our first time visiting this restaurant, and we ordered many items from the Dim Sum menu. The Dim Sum was mediocre compared to other Dim Sum restaurants we have visited. Both of us got food poisoning. We both had stomachaches for several hours until we pooped it out. I do not recommend this Dim Sum restaurant. We will never eat there again. read more

My favorite dim sum in the city! Smaller place but cozy vibes, and they have a few large tables for big groups. Friendly staff and a large menu, family style so you order many dishes and they come out as they're ready. I always make sure we get at least a couple orders of the shrimp toast & soup dumplings! read more

Wow . This place is under new management since I was last in (pre-Covid) and I have been missing out!!! The indoors has been renovated and is now super clean, and the food is super affordable and excellent. We came in for dim sum for lunch. I unfortunately did not take a picture of the Dan Dan noodles but they were peanuty spicy perfection. The green beans were expertly cooked and delightfully garlicky. The wonton dumplings in chili oil (pictured) were fantastic. LOVE this place! read more

Delicious food and friendly people. My family enjoyed the different dishes and the portions were large enough for leftovers

We came when it opened on a weekend, and there was a dirty tub of dishes sitting in the dining area from the night before. The worst is that there was a giant cockroach scurrying back and forth between our table and the table in front of us in broad daylight. If these pests are not afraid of humans or light, there's a serious cleanliness issue. We had only had a couple bites of food which was actually pretty good but got up and paid our bill quickly and left as soon as we noticed. They leave the dim sum in an open display case too, which makes this discovery worse... read more

Have always had excellent food and great service here. Affordable, big portions, delicious. My favorite dim sum spot in Seattle!

Tried this place in the late afternoon and got seated immediately Good service, We got poured chrysanthemum tea and was greeted in Cantonese. We ordered 3 dishes and they came relatively fast. The har gao was delicious, chicken feet had a different taste than I'm used to but was good and fresh. The rice roll was not that flavorful so my least favorite of the bunch. Ambience was nice, it was small but it feels authentic. Overall I like this place, the dim sum is fresh and hot and would want to come here again to try other dishes. read more

Seems to be popular for to-go pick up. Despite the fact we called in our order, the wait was still 30 minutes passed the promised time. The cramped parking for just a few small cars has barely enough room to maneuver through. Inside ~ a mishmash of untidiness & clutter. Nowhere to wait for the order to come out. Service ~ poor communication and confusion on the order of to-go delayed ours even more. Decent dimsum but not for the stress. read more

Super tasty dumplings! Chicken chive was our favorite. Dan Dan noodles were also very good!

I love how it feels like I am at home eating a meal every time I come here. Comfy easygoing ambience. Never loud. The owners remind me of my parents who also speak the same language, Cantonese. The food is always delicious every time we come. And if you buy seafood next door at the market, they can prep it for you and turn it into a dish. Love that! They also serve other Chinese dishes other than dim sum AND bubble tea! We came on a rainy Wednesday night so it wasn't busy at all. I feel like they should have more customers! This is a great restaurant to support if you're ever craving for dim sum or Chinese food! :) read more

I've mostly been here for dim sum and it's not bad. I would say it's a solid option if you don't want to head over to the more busier restaurants for dim sum. This is definitely a no frills kind of joint, so don't expect fancy stuff here. It's just solid and simple Chinese food that you can't be mad at. You'll probably enjoy the simplicity of it like I have. Decided to try their non-dim sum items this time around because I came here after work and felt like having shared entree dishes instead. We got the salt and pepper fried tofu, house special fried rice, and the chicken curry. The fried tofu was a bit too salty for my taste. I enjoyed the fried rice a lot. Basically it has all the meats stir fried up with rice and veggies. The chicken curry taste like any other chicken curry I've had at any Chinese restaurant in Seattle. Hard to mess up and hard to dislike. Solid. Restaurant is basically a mom and pop restaurant, so service is minimal. You have your order taken and get your food when it's ready. Wave down the service whenever you need anything as best as you can. It isn't hard though since the restaurant is pretty small and business is moderate with just a couple other customers. Overall, decent experience. Support the small restaurant if you can. read more

I have no idea why this place has such a low rating?! Needed to stop for lunch and decided to come here even though it only had 3.5 stars. The menu pricing and options looked decent. We were quickly sat down, they have a typical Chinese food menu with some in dim sum or full size. We ordered the bbq pork rice roll, vegetable fried rice, garlic green beans and boba. Also a good tip: they have a full boba menu!!! The food came out super fast, the bbq pork roll was a perfect portion with amazing flavoring. The garlic green beans has so much good minced garlic and seasoned perfectly; it barely had any oil compared to other Chinese food places. The vegetable fried rice had so many veggies and egg in it, everything was just piled on and was so good! I'm so happy that they didn't skimp out on veggies! The boba was so surprising. I wasn't expecting much as usually when a restaurant has boba it's all creamer and powder and mushy soggy boba but this place wasn't! The boba was as good as the best boba shops around. The texture was perfect and the flavoring was the liquid kind which tasted so good! I really hope someone sees this review and considers stopping by at the restaurant because it is completely worth it. Our total for 3 plates and 1 drink was $35 which beats buying some expensive plate with little to no food somewhere else. read more

My family and I needed a new dim sum spot ever since Joy Palace went under new management so we decided to try here. It's a small shop but was very clean and was PACKED for Saturday lunch! I think we came at the right time to snag a table. There's only 6 or 8 tables that seat 4 people and 2 big ones that have a lazy Susan. A lot of people did takeout. Servers weren't very attentive or talkative. My dad tried flagging them down a few times when they'd pass by to order but they'd ignore him and I would have to get up to the front counter or right next to a worker. A little discouraging ngl since I'm a quiet introvert but don't they say bad service is a sign for good food at a Chinese/Asian restaurant?! My fav worker was this guy with short hair and a black T-shirt who was probably the nicest. The food did take awhile to come out and came out in waves. The food was very delicious and everything was very hot, like as if made to order. My fav items were the salt and pepper squid, salty lava egg buns, and stuffed tofu. The fried shrimp balls and shrimp rolls were also great and my parents liked the chicken feet. Only item I didn't love was the siu mai, as I felt it was heavy on the pork and could've used shrimp. There's a big variety of items they have and their dim sum menu has photos of each item, so it's so helpful if you've never been to dim sum before or if you don't know the name of certain dishes! My sister ordered the Hong Kong style milk tea which was pleasantly flavored. I thought for a dim sum place it would be average or maybe even bad, but it had good tea flavor and the tapioca pearls were soft. A cup was only $4 and toppings were 50 cents. I'd love to come back and get a different milk tea flavor to really assess their drinks. All in all, Dim Sum House will be our new spot for dim sum for the foreseeable future. read more

We always pass by this place and one day decided to get shrimp fried rice. I ordered take out and when we got home we noticed something black when opening the container. I looked closely and it had LEGS!! It was a cockroach in our food. I don't know how a business can serve their customers this!! Truly disgusting and definitely lost my appetite. Now I can say that I will never be going back to this place. They offered to make us a new one before giving us a refund but knowing what I got from my order I did not want my food to be cooked in an infested kitchen. Don't eat here if you don't want cockroaches in your food read more

This small, unassuming restaurant tucked along a busy street shouldn't be overlooked: there's some great cooking going on inside. The value proposition here is strong. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. All the dumplings (ha gow, siu mai, xiaolong bao) were really good, as were the fried shrimp balls and even the soy sauce chow mein. They have a wide variety of dim sum staples that they serve all day and that are cooked to order. The best value here though is their boba: where else can you get a drink with boba for $4? Seriously. read more
