    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    This place is a true Seattle gem. After sampling the heavy hitters, I'm comfortable saying Dim Sum…read moreKing has the best dim sum around without going to Vancouver. Not only that, but it's also the most affordable with a price-per-piece around $1.35 for most items. The Siu Mai, BBQ Pork Bun, Custard Bun, and Shrimp Cheung Fun are personal standouts. With that said, this is not your typical dim sum restaurant. You'll find no leisurely rotating tables or endless pots of tea. Instead it operates more like a bakery, optimized for takeout. This seems to be a point of disconnect among other reviews here. Service is focused on efficiency, but you can take as long as you need to decide what you want by using the paper ordering sheet and referencing pictures on the wall. There are tables you can usually snag to dine in with, but expect everything to be boxed regardless. Go in understanding this, and you'll have an excellent time. overall 5+/5

Like the Food Walk itself, this place gets very crowded during peak lunch hours when they're open; every seat was taken and everyone else - myself included - got our goodies for takeout. You pay depending on how much you get; for example, one piece of siu mai is $1.30 each as of this writing. All other food items follow in a similar suit. We got the following: - Egg tart: my favorites though they have cookie crusts. I do prefer flaky crusts but the egg yolk has the right amount of sweet to balance the crust. - Siu mai: fresh and piping hot. Meat was also fresh and didn't have a weird aftertaste. - Green onion bun: each one is pretty big, and there's just enough green onions on them to distinguish between similar buns like the baked BBQ pork bun. - Sponge cake: didn't eat this myself but parents thought this was all right though a little too set. - Baked BBQ pork bun: my dad's favorite. BBQ pork is sweet and complements the bun itself. - Meat bun turnover (Shanghai pan-fried buns): I always like getting these in places like Din Tai Fung and Dough Zone. The ones here are even better, with a ton of filling in each bun and a nice crisp from the pan fry. A classic staple of Chinatown that serves awesome dim sum that edges out the competition pretty well considering dining in has gotten a lot more expensive lately! I see myself coming back a lot more, beyond the number of times I've gone here since high school, of course.

I had my all time favorite dish at a Hong Kong café cuisine, gon caau ngau ho (乾炒牛河), aka beef chow fun, along with a childhood favorite drink, iced Horlicks. I liked how everything moved at a quick pace here and yet the staff were still friendly. The best part was that no one stopped by to ask how the food was while your mouth was full, because they already knew the food was good. The beef chow fun was just as good as the ones back home. It was savory and full of wok hei (iykyk). The bean sprouts were added at just the right time, so they were still a slightly crunchy. The sliced beef was tender too. If you like adding extra spice, be sure to try the crunchy chili sauce on the table. It was awesome, fragrant, spicy, and full of flavor. Just be careful not to choke on it, I did, and it wasn't fun. I hadn't had Horlicks in twenty years, and the first sip brought back so many memories. Be sure to stir it well and maybe wait until the ice melts a little, otherwise it may be slightly too sweet. My partner is a vegetarian. He looked through the entire menu and said there weren't many things he could order (listen, people, choose your future SO accordingly if you like sharing big meat dishes).
