    Steamed glutinous rice with meat
    Sum H.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    The staff was very friendly when I entered. They make their dim sum fresh. I was excited to have sticky rice with chicken and the shumai had a chicken and shrimp. It was all delicious and came out hot. The sticky rice was great. I'll be a regular here

    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....

    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

However, when both service and food exceed expectations, a restaurant becomes an industry benchmark. Service: The service here was truly, exceptionally outstanding. A friend brought me here today--he had only been to this restaurant once before--yet every single staff member remembered him, and even remembered what he had ordered last time! They were genuinely thrilled to see him return. The pacing of the dishes and the check-ins during the meal were both spot-on. Ambiance: A classic Cantonese restaurant atmosphere--full of character, dignified, and rich with Chinese design elements. The seating is comfortable, the restaurant is impeccably clean, and the management is clearly top-notch. Food: Great value for money, with very reasonable pricing. The fried rice was loaded with rich ingredients and seasoned to absolute perfection. The seafood tofu was mild in flavor and made with fresh ingredients--perfect for children. The green beans were fresh and had just the right level of spice. As one of China's Eight Great Culinary Traditions, Cantonese cuisine is defined by its freshness: fresh ingredients, vibrant flavors, and fresh execution. Preparing Cantonese food is far more trouble than people realize; because of the complex preparation, strict standards for ingredients, and a low yield rate, true quality is hard to achieve. Since this restaurant is run entirely by a team of Cantonese chefs, I believe it is ultimately their passion that drives their success.

I really liked the filling in the football, which contained ground pork and mushrooms, not so much the flour for the outer layer. I also liked the tripe, pea tips, and chicken feet. They were delectable. Other than that, it seemed a bit plain. I didn't really like the chili oil they used, it was more like a sambal. I'm glad we ended with the mango pudding for dessert. The mold for it was so cute. Hopefully next time I come here they change up the chili used.

The store is a little different now that Rooster & Rice has taken over some of the kitchen.

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).

Overall, a great dining experience with delicious food, outstanding hospitality, and excellent accommodation for large groups.
