Dim Sum Yuan is a great place to come to. There's not many dim sum places on the east side but it's a nice little place to get that fix. It's located in a plaza so there is plenty of parking available in the lot. I got the siu mai, shrimp dumplings, won ton soup, shrimp tofu skin rice noodle, spare ribs, and crispy shrimp tofu skin rolls. All were really good and came out right away so the dishes were very hot! It is self service through a QR code but those working are attentive and very nice. I would recommend this place and will come again! read more

Found a new dimsum spot to try in Kirkland. It's located in a plaza of plazas with plenty of parking spots. We arrived ~20 minutes before opening on a Saturday, and there was a small group waiting to enter by 11am. Interior is pretty plain and small but clean, good amount of tables as well. Service throughout the meal was good. You order via QR code which is super convenient. For food, we got egg tarts, turnip cakes, soup dumplings, bean curd rolls, egg lava buns, pork ribs, bbq pork bun, and Chinese donut wrapped in rice roll. Overall, it was not bad. I liked the ribs, the bean curd rolls, and the soup dumplings. Good flavors and good textures. Lava buns were really good too. I read a different review saying it was flavorless goo, but that wasn't my experience at all. Turnip cakes, egg tarts, and the pork buns were okay. Turnip cake had a good texture, but was missing a little something (maybe dipping sauce?). Egg tarts had a super delicious smooth filling, but I'm not a fan of cookie crust. Would've been perfect with the flaky crust instead. Bbq pork buns were not amazing; felt like the pork didn't have enough flavor. But also not bad. The Chinese donut wrapped in rice roll was my disappointment of the meal :c they wrap 2 donuts into one, so the proportion of donut to rice roll is uneven. And the donuts they use are super doughy and fat, not crunchy at all. Also would've liked a hoisin or peanut sauce instead of just the soy sauce. Overall, okay spot. Food is definitely on the pricey side, but I guess that's to be expected. The dimsum itself is kinda average. Tea is really good, service is amazing. read more

Before going, Dim Sum Yuan is a place that I had hoped I will like a lot, a lot. A dim sum all day restaurant, hmm, yes please. Alas, upon tasting the food, I came away with hits and misses which honestly made me sad. The restaurant sits in one of the Totem Lake strip malls, south of the TL Village, surrounded by minority restaurants/eateries. The inside is freshly white-painted with the prerequisite red lanterns and Chinese décor. The server is a bubbly young lady, a family member. During the meal, I heard Mandarin from the kitchen. After dining, I chatted a bit with the server and confirmed the family origins (not providing details on purpose). For those that know, dim sum is pesky to perfect. Theirs are not perfect. Cost wise, they are a wee higher than CID, but I am ok with that in Kirkland. I do plan to return to try their noodle soup and congee in the future. The Food: 30 - Prawn Rice Noodle Roll, $7.95 - 5 Stars This was the best dish of the meal. Large plumb prawns are wrapped by rice sheets with the right chew. 22 - Turnip Cake with Cured Meats, $7.95 - 3.5 Stars The flavor is enhanced by the salt of the cured meats. The center is a touch too soft/mushy. A bit more searing will help, but the batter is while tuning is needed. 1 - Prawn Dumplings, $7.95 - 4 Stars These are nicely plump with thin skin. I would fold these slightly differently to minimize the 'wings' where it is two layers of skin. Commonly, this is where the skin becomes hardened with too much chew. 4 - Prawn Chive Dumplings, $7.95 - 3.5 Stars They took some creative liberties with these. Typically, these are stuffed with prawns and garlic chives. Theirs have bits of possibly water chestnut that gave the bite unexpected crunch. I didn't hate it, just unexpected. 2 - Siu Mai Pork and Shrimp, $7.95 - 2 Stars The meat filling is very over-churned causing it to be sunken within the wrapper. There is no meat texture visible on top, and there should be. The decorative orange bits on top are not recognizable. Better quality siu mai might use crab roe (very high end) or fish roe, such as tobiko. Bits of shrimp can be found in the filling. 18 - Fried Yam Paste Meat Dumplings, $7.97 - 1.5 Stars I had such high hopes for this dish. It is a difficult dish to make and commonly not offered because of that. Their flakiness on the outside is four stars. The 'yam' paste, middle layer, is mushy, which suggests it is either overprocessed or from a can. (Btw, should be taro, not yam) The innermost should be a dallop of savory, umami pork, Chinese mushroom in a rich, dark brown sauce, commonly oyster sauce centric. Their center is pale, barely there, is-there-meat, no flavor. I took small bits on a second piece to find the center, kind of like 'how many licks does it take to get to the center of the Tootsie pop'. High hopes and ultimately disappointed. 17 - Crispy Garlic Prawn Egg Rolls, $7.95 - 3 Stars Fairly normal egg rolls. Neither of us tasted garlic, but that is not a dealbreaker, either. Not much flavor overall. Using the sauce is a must. 21 - Pan Fried Pork & Vegetable Bun, $7.95 - 4 Stars Theirs is daintier than most with a touch of soy as the filling flavoring. Though I have had better, theirs is pretty good, too. 5 - Mini Salted Egg Yolk Lava Buns, $7.95 - 1 Star A great one of these has an incredible umami salted egg yolk center that is flavorful and addictive. Theirs is a yellow goo with minimal flavor. This dish was our least liked dish. It is not zero stars because the bun texture is correct. read more

TL;DR: decent dim sum, a little on the spendy side but can't really argue when it's the only spot in the area. Parking: narrow, small shared lot. Atmosphere: Cafe-like setting. Service: wait to be seated, you will be watered, fill out what you want to order on the provided paper, check brought to you. Menu: Some photos. Only has item names, no descriptions. If you have allergies, make sure you notify your server -- always a good thing to be rather safe than sorry -- you never now if ingredients were changed due to lack of availability. Definitely check in if you have food allergies! For example, if you have an egg allergy, some of the meat items have egg as a binder in the meat! The Turnip cakes have seafood (shrimp) in them, etc. read more

We tried this new dim sum place that I saw on instagram they make the dishes out of scratch. The place was almost empty when we arrive at 4:00 pm on Sunday. The staff are friendly, let us know that we scan the code on the table to order. There were menu also on the table. Most dim sum menu are $8 per dish. We ordered steam combination, fried football, steamed rice, fried steamed pork buns and oolong tea. Steamed dish was sooo good! Each piece is pretty big and meaty, my favorite of all. I usually like fried football but the filling was not my taste. The fried pork buns were fluffy but the filling was not my favorite. There's some spices that don't taste the same as other dim sum places. There are some Taiwanese dishes like minced pork over rice and beef noodle soup. Try all the steamed dishes if you go to this restaurant! They are really good! read more

Surprised about thy is place. Their bean curd was pretty good, and was not super pricey. The shrimp dumplings were also good. Definitely recommended! The waitstaff was super nice because I initially was ordered one rice but for some reason the online ordering ordered it for two, so the staff was kind enough to cross it off my bill. Overall will definitely come back. read more

I wanted to like Dim Sum Yuan a lot more than I actually had, but unfortunately, this was just A-O-K. The food was fine and all, but I likely will not visit again for dim sum, which is a shame since it's hard to find good dim sum on the Eastside. I visited Dim Sum Yuan while in the area, and was excited to see the high ratings. There was even a line out the door, so figured it was where to go on a Sunday morning. I waited for about 15 minutes, which was not bad and service was even faster since you scan the QR code for ordering and the food is brought when ready. I ordered the steamed dim sum platter, wonton noodle soup and egg custard buns. I was most excited for the dim sum platter, which included two of each of the shu mai, har gow and chive and shrimp. Unfortunately, they were all difficult to eat because everything was sticking together, so was hard to separate and when I tried to do so, the dim sum would break and all the filling would come out. Gah! There needs to be more room in the steamer for the dim sum pieces to not touch and stick together or a parchment paper to separate them. Of what I did try, they were solid, with the shu mai being the clear winner. The wonton noodle soup's broth was bland, so ended up adding chili oil to spice it up. I did like how juicy the wontons in the soup were though. The egg custard buns were disappointing. It was a lot of bun with little custard inside. Skip this one. I can see why Dim Sum Yuan is popular on the Eastside since we don't have many spots. But for the high prices for mediocre dim sum, I'd rather just travel to Seattle for where I've had better luck in finding solid dim sum. Better luck next time. read more

Dim Sum Yuan is a small family owned restaurant in a non-descript strip mall that has a good selection of dim sum classics, as well as my favorite version of wonton noodle soup. The shumai and har gow are large and plump. Loved the bean cured roll here too. But my favorite dish here is the wonton noodle soup. The dumplings are solid, but the broth is what I love. Rather than a seafood base, the broth is pork based which makes it a little heavier and more savory. Noodles are also perfectly cooked, and you can select from 3 different types. Service is efficient as you order through a QR code. Definitely a nice spot for sim sum lovers! read more

Really enjoyed having a dim sum spot up in Kirkland ! Better yet, it's a local family owned mom and pop as well. Flavors were light and great! Not overly salted/ MSG. I really enjoyed the bean curd / tofu skin rice roll, it was different and combined two of my favorite dishes! read more

First time trying out this place. Very interesting concept as they sell dimsum as long as they are open (usually dimsum is sold during morning-lunch or until afternoon only at other places) First glance, the price might be a little on the higher side (30-50%). Most of them are quite justified as the filling is really packed! They do not skim on it so each bite is full of seafood or fillings. They are cooked to order so they come out nice and hot! Servers are attentive, came by a few times to check on us and offered water refill. The only downside is this place does not offer chilli oil which is essential for dimsum imo. The place is nice and clean and simple/minimally decorated. read more

Let me start by saying the dim sum here is pretty decent. Not the best I have ever had but solid, and worth knowing about if you are in the Kirkland area and craving dim sum. That said there are a few things about the experience that I want to be upfront about. I was originally going to DoorDash it but the markup was significant, around 20% more on top of an already steep delivery fee, so I called in my order instead. Even picking up directly, the prices were a bit of a shock coming from LA where you can get dim sum items for around 4 to 5 dollars each. Here everything is around 8 to 10 dollars per item, which adds up fast. I would normally feel satisfied spending around 25 to 30 dollars per person on dim sum but here you are looking at closer to 40 per person for takeout, and that is before any tip. Speaking of tip, I do not typically tip on takeout and I do not think most people do either, but that did not stop them from turning around the iPad with 18, 20, and 25 percent preselected as the only visible options. Pressing custom tip and then typing in zero while the staff is watching you do it is an awkward experience that I think most places should rethink. It is a small thing but it leaves a bit of an uncomfortable impression. As for the food itself, the dim sum is solid overall. The shu mai could be a little meatier in my opinion, it felt a little light on the filling. My biggest gripe though was the soy sauce situation. I had to specifically ask for soy sauce and chili, and they gave me one single packet. One. For a full takeout order of dim sum. That felt really stingy and is an easy thing to fix. If they loosen up on the condiments and work on the tip screen situation I think this place would be a much more enjoyable experience overall. The food itself is worth trying, just go in knowing what to expect price wise. read more

We had read about Dim Sum Yuan opening in Kirkland so decided to check it out last night. We had our pup with us and were in our camper van, so decided to do takeout and eat in our van in the parking lot. So everything was as hot fresh as if we had eaten in the restaurant. And such a great surprise that they do takeout! We ordered Pork and Shrimp Dumplings ( same as Siu Mai), Spare Ribs in Black Bean Sauce, Roast Pork Buns and Pan-fried Gyoza. Everything was delicious, we were disappointed they were sold out of some things but we found some good alternates. Hubs loved the pork and shrimp dumplings, I can't eat shrimp so I wasn't able to taste these. The spare ribs in black bean sauce had amazing flavor, and we're very tender. The roast pork buns were also delicious and the bau was soft and fluffy, tho they could have used a bit more filling. The pan fried gyoza were by far the best I've had. So large and plump full of the pork filling (tho wish they were a little less salty). It's definitely clear the gyoza were house made - which is really hard to find anymore. (We'd heard everything was house made) Wish they were a little closer to us as we might go a bit more often, though it was worth the 20ish minute drive there. We ordered our food before we left our house and it was ready by the time we arrived. read more

Enjoyed this cozy little dim sum place in Totem Lake! It doesn't have the traditional carts that bump into your large tables, but it does have easy ordering with your phone, and the food comes out hot and fresh. We got the typical favorites to try, our favorite was the sticky rice that was chock full of pork, shrimp, egg, bamboo, and mushrooms. Siu mai was similarly full of shrimp, and the spare ribs were tender and moist though I wish it had a little more black beans. Also really enjoyed the BBQ pork rice noodle roll that was full of meat and the noodle was nice and chewy. Soup dumplings had a decent flavor but two of the four dumplings leaked when we picked them up and the wrapping was kinda tasteless, so I wouldn't order that again. Glad to have this option on the Eastside, will be back! read more

Dim Sum Yuan - Dim Sum Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

New dim sum spot in Kirkland. Not your typical dim sum joint with all the large tables, more like a smaller restaurant which is cozy. Ample parking inside the plaza. They offer an all day dim sum menu until 9pm which is sweet. Portions are a bit small and many items are served as 3 pieces which can be troublesome for a party of 4. I'm hopeful for their success but currently the service and value of food with respect to size leaves a bit to be desired. Service is definitely still a work in progress. They provided physical menus and we were waiting to order. Then they accidentally gave us an item we didn't order (as we hadn't ordered yet). We let them know and also mentioned we were ready to order but they never responded or came back. Turns out you can order from the QR code at the table, but the physical menu was a bit misleading. Prawn Dumplings - these remind me of Costco's har gow being tiny with a bit of bamboo shoots inside. Though these tasted much better than the ones in Costco's fridge. Besides being small, it was a typical shrimp dumpling. Siu Mai - another typical dim sum dish, tasted right, just a bit small. Flavorful, juicy, and a solid balance of pork and shrimp. Turnip Cake - another traditional dim sum dish, similar comments as above. Overall delicious, accurate flavor and texture with a soft interior and crispiness on the outside. Could be better if they were larger and a little crispier, but overall tasty. Roast Pork Buns - rather than the typical cha siu bao with BBQ pork, these are honey pork. The bao itself is soft, fluffy, and tasty. I personally prefer BBQ pork by a long shot, but this is solid for what it is. Was a bit unexpected for traditional dim sum, but not false advertising, just gotta read a bit closely. read more

Got the privilege of attending their soft opening and so excited to see this place grow! Being it was a soft opening, there were a few items that weren't available but overall the stuff I enjoy eating at dim sum restaurants were available. The owners and staff were very friendly. It's a family owned restaurant that makes everything in house. You can taste the freshness and quality in the food. The chicken feet were my favorite, so tender and full of flavor. I liked them so much I ordered it 3 times. The shrimp dumplings, radish cake and taro puff pastries were great as well. Besides a little lack of decor, which I'm sure will be addressed in no time, this place is a much needed great addition to the area. Definitely a place I see myself coming too often. Can't wait to try their house made noodles next time I go. read more

Came here for dim sum and overall had a pretty solid experience. The biggest thing that stood out to me was how clean and balanced the flavors were. Compared to more traditional spots in the greater Seattle area, the dishes leaned lighter, which I actually appreciated. It let the ingredients come through more instead of everything being overly heavy or salty. You can tell the food is made fresh, and that makes a difference. At first glance, the prices felt a bit steep, but given the convenience and the Kirkland location, it makes sense. You're definitely paying a bit of a premium for that, but it didn't feel unreasonable. Service and space itself was average and has the opportunity to improve to enhance the experience. Definitely a mom and pop shop, but honestly, no complaints. It was clean and my water was refilled consistently, which checks the box for me. At the end of the day, I'm here for the food, and it delivered. Will be back to try their rice bowls and noodle dishes next time. The table next to me had some and it looked good. read more

Dim Sum Yuan is a small family owned dim sum and Cantonese noodles restaurant that offers full day dim sum menu. Although it has opened for some time already, its operations is still very hectic, with no clear waitlist management leaving most customers confused. The three wait staffs are overwhelmed and unable to handle the Sunday crowd, but at least they are apologetic and polite. The restaurant is also uncomfortably hot with their AC barely working. The menu covers all the dim sum classics but no "fancy specials" that the more traditional large dim sum plus seafood restaurants offer. Overall taste is fresh but average which doesn't quite justify the higher price point. If you live nearby, this may be a decent option on non-weekends when there's less of a crowd, but as it's more than 10 mins for me, it's unlikely that I will return. read more

Walking was not really anything unique. it was a pretty slow, in a small shopping center/strip. There was two tables before my wife and I. The menu was provided but, was also told to order by scanning a QR code. This was a bit of a turn off but it seemed logical to main stream things and cost effective in terms of ordering. We ordered a few things and it was fine. Food felt fresh, the staff also came out to eat when we were eating. Mind you, it was probably around mid-afternoon - so they were probably taking their lunch break. The prices was a bit high for the dishes but the food felt fresh - as if they made to order. Overall, parking and place was easy to find. Staff was friendly and food quality was good in exception the price being a bit on the higher side. read more

Weekends are almost the perfect time for dim sum. I drove by this restaurant and it is difficult to see from the street. Parking was easy to find. When we walked in, it was a bit chilly and everyone was wearing jackets and sweaters. The menu is done online at the table which makes it very easy order on an ad hoc style. The prices and quantity was about average for dim sum. The flavors are excellent and make up for the sparse dining area. We will definitely be back to explore more of the menu. If you are looking for a dim sum menu(not on carts) this is definitely worth a try read more

If you love and frequent traditional dim sum from the ID or Vancouver BC, you'll be sadly disappointed in this place. Like the other reviewers that rated it very low, the dim sum is not handmade and tastes like frozen. I rarely review places, but felt it was necessary to warn people about this place so they don't get trapped in by their "handmade" slogan; especially when dim sum is lacking in the Kirkland area. The prices are also high (almost all dishes trend around $8+) and everything was super bland. See pictures to get the idea....save your money and appetite for something wayyyy better. And also - they don't have AC in the restaurant, so on a hot day (we happened to go when it was 84 degrees out) prepare to sweat it out in their sauna like atmosphere. Honestly yuck....and to make it even better their servers were not very nice or pleasant overall; as if we were a nuisance and they couldn't be bothered.... read more

Food was ok. Best thing was the lava buns. The skin on the shrimp chive was translucent so that was good but the filling fell apart once you bite into it. The most disappointing dish was the beef brisket noodles. The broth was not clear as expected for traditional preparation which would have been fine but the flavor was lacking. The brisket flavor did not come through and the over flavor was not tasty. Also the veggie dish sauce to veggie was odd. Not enough sauce for the amount of veggie. The bbq noodle rolls were not bad but again lack sauce. Service was friendly so that was good. But I wouldn't come back for the food. read more

The servers were every friendly, and the food was delicious and homey, especially for a late evening meal. I really wanted to try their buckwheat noodles but they didn't have any available yet for their first week of opening. We were also hoping for more dim sum options for dinner, but only a few things were available. I would be here like every week if they did since I love dim sum! We had their fresh thin noodles with our wonton and braised beef noodle soups, and they were very flavorful. Also their noodles were so addictively smooth and delicious! I will definitely return to try their other noodle options We also ordered the Dim Sum Yuan Rice Noodle Roll and it was nice to try a new and different type of rice noodles / cheung fun. It will be a repeat item for us whenever we are able to come by read more

Finally a good Dim Sum place on the Eastside. It's a smaller restaurant so tables are best suited for 2-4 people but they can combine seating. Their dim sum is very good, homemade and not too filled with MSG. We got the rice dish but wished it was in a clay pot like the picture they advertised. A little bit disappointed but the flavor was on point. Would definitely go again. read more

So thrilled to have an awesome new dimsum place in Kirkland! The food here was delicious - our table enjoyed everything we ate, from the turnip cake to the shrimp rice rolls, dumplings and salted egg custard bun. Service was super attentive with the nice lady coming over to refill our water glasses and bringing us takeout boxes at the end of the meal. Super easy to order via a QR code on the table. Everyone at our table left well-fed and satisfied. Plenty of free parking out front. We'll be back again! read more

This place was packed when we arrived first thing at 11am on Sunday, probably because it was featured on a popular Instagram recently. Highly recommend getting there early, otherwise you'll need to wait around an hour for the next turnover of guests. Food was great, good flavor, texture, and overall decent portion sizes. Soup dumplings and har gow were flavorful and thin skinned but held up well. Steamed pork buns were very fluffy. Would definitely recommend rice rolls with shrimp, and the won ton noodle soup. Tea didn't have much flavor, but that's a minor detail. I liked ordering with the QR code, made it very easy for our group. Plus they attach your receipt to the table so you can keep track. Despite the big weekend rush (people were constantly ordering take out on top of the in-house customers), I think we were still served in a very reasonable time. The staff handled the crowds very respectfully and efficiently, and were still attentive to our large group. Will bring other family back next time! read more

So exciting to have a scrumptious dim sum place in an unassuming location in one of the strip malls in the Totem Lake area of of Kirkland! Although no place seems to have any of the rolling carts anymore, it was very helpful to have a photo menu and ability to order by QR code. everything we had came out hot, in a timely way, and was reasonably priced (although maybe a bit high). I was surprised to find that I loved the fried turnip cake with cured meats the most! It was a perfect balance of salty, sticky umami deliciousness. I steered away from the typical steamed or pan fried dumplings, but those looked good as well. The staff was young and enthusiastic and seemed eager to please. This is a no-frills place, but certainly comfortable. I would absolutely recommend! read more

Fantastic! I tried it with Uber Eats at first, they have the thinnest wrappers and so much filling. Everything is top notch. Today, I needed more and again Wow! So good. Yes, the wrappers can break but it sooooo nice to have to much delicious filling. We have had dim sum from nearly every place in King County and this is the best. Excellent flavors, texture, and delicious! read more

Given all the high reviews and the mention by 'The Infatuation Seattle,' I thought this place would be decent. In reality, it was the worst dim sum I've had in a long time. Never mind at their air-conditioning was not working on a blazing hot day. We ordered some of the standards: black bean spare ribs, pork siu mai, steamed hum bao, and wonton noodle soup for our 4-year-old. They advertise these as 'handmade,' but they are definitely not; they are clearly frozen and then steamed. You can tell by the pale color, the lack of flavor, and how small and uniform they are. The noodle soup also lacked flavor, and they used an uncommon type of noodle that I haven't seen before. We will definitely never be coming back to this establishment and would certainly not recommend it. Even for the Eastside, there are definitely much better options. read more

Was here several months ago and just getting to review. The food was just ok. Prices were fair compared to other dim sum places. They didn't have a lot of the normal dim sum foods. The beef brisket soup noodle I would have to say was the best of everything we ordered. The afternoon we were here they were doing some kind of photo shoot. That was kind of annoying with the flashes from the camera the whole time we were trying to eat. Probably won't come back here as it is out of the way. We only came because some family was already going to be in the area so we figured we'd try it out. read more

I meant to write this last week after visiting with my husband and I'm so glad I didn't forget because this place truly deserves it. If you love dim sum, you have to try this spot. Everything we had was handcrafted, fresh, and served hot exactly what you hope for but don't always get. We ordered the sesame noodles, chicken sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, chicken dim sum, shrimp & chive dumplings, turnip fry, and a tofu skin roll wrapped in a delicate rice paper-style sheet -all absolutely delicious. We also had a nice hot pitcher of tea that tied everything together perfectly. What made the experience even more special was the warmth of the people there. It's a cozy, family-owned, mom-and-pop kind of restaurant, and you can truly feel that care in both the food and the service. The boy and girl who took our order and served were very polite . You can tell this place is built with so much heart and hard work please show them some love, they really deserve it. We're already looking forward to going back. Highly recommend if you want authentic, comforting dim sum made with heart. read more

Food was great, the portions are a really good size for their price. You take your order thru QR code online, and the staff check in often with you too. They are incredibly fast with receiving the orders as well. My boyfriend & I ordered the black bean chicken feet, crispy garlic springrolls, fried football, prawn chive dumpling, & the egg yolk lava buns for dessert. Everything was fresh and crispy, we reordered some of the dishes a few times. I wish their online menu had a list of allergens or which type of meat was inside, at the time when we visited they didn't have many descriptions and we dont eat pork. i always like to see vegetarian options with chives & green onions ! read more
