I had a simply devine dinner at the Hakka House. It definitely seems popular and most of the tables were filled. I had Sweet & Sour Shrimp, Fun Chow, Fried rice and a Lamb dish. All of the protein types we had were very tender and there was so much flavor in what we ordered. Also, all dishes came with a healthy amount of vegetables. I throughly enjoyed this meal in a simple eatery with homestyle cooling.
What a pleasant surprise this place was! Very unassuming from the outside...but inside we were greeted with friendly smiles. This place had very good food, great service, and lovely workers. And they have the actual dim sum carts here! Well, they only had 1 roaming around at the time, but it was quick to come around and we still got the dishes we want. Everything was steaming hot and very delicious. I want to come back to try more!!
Great spot for Hakka food, and brunch. They have both dim sum and main dish. Parking spots are limited, it's behind their restaurant with a red sign.
Three friends got together for lunch on a Saturday. The seating area was very busy with lots of activity. I was acknowledged as soon as I walked in the door and asked how many people in our party. I was seated promptly and then my two friends arrived. On the weekends, they have a dim sum cart so we chose from the cart as well as ordering dishes from the menu. Everything was delicious and the little custard pies provided at the end were a sweet (but not too sweet) treat. To us two of us found on the street parking pretty easily while one of us had to circle the block a few times.
Hokkaido House never disappoints. They've become a weekly trake out tradition and Hakka House never disappoints. Everything we get is a treat for the taste buds. The staff is so friendly too offering to help take the food to the car. Looking forward to next week already.
Chinese restaurant in downtown Redmond. There's street parking and public lots that offer 2hr free parking nearby. Mid size restaurant with off-white interior. Went for early dinner on a Saturday and then place was pretty empty, but filled up when 6pm rolled around. From the name, this restaurant serves Hakka cuisine. The menu has some similarities to Cantonese cuisine. My group was hungry and ordered a whole bunch of dishes, all of which were served very quickly. They also include a bowl of house soup for each person. The soup we got was pork and lotus root soup, which was pretty tasty and they said they added some fish sauce for umami flavor. For the dishes, the pork belly with preserved vegetables had good flavor, although the pork could be more tender. The fried rice also tasted good, but was a little clumpy. The salt chicken was pretty standard and decent. Their sweet and sour chicken was not bad actually. My favorite were the crispy duck and crispy beef brisket. Not sure if the crispy beef is authentic Hakka food, but the beef was tender. A little bit like fully cooked gyukatsu. We also had a plate of stir fried cabbage and that was solid. Overall price was $200 for 5 people. We were hungry so we devoured all of the food.
Found a new dim sum spot, and man am I glad that I stumbled upon it. The customer service was on point, the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly.The food was delightful! The quality was fantastic and fresh, and we really enjoyed the taste. They have a QR code on the table for you to order as well which we thought was convenient. However we didn't use the QR code. Definitely recommend coming here for some good dim sum if you're in the Eastside, and for great service,
Thank you Yelp folks to sharing about this place. Great dim sum find in the heart of Redmond! Tasty enough to do the trick. Loved how the dim sum cart server spoke Chinese And English and super friendly.
This place has officially become a new favorite for my family. Almost every single dish we tried was fantastic. The only one I wouldn't bother with is the wonton soup, the broth was extremely bland, and the wontons tasted heavily of celery. If you're a celery fan, you might enjoy it, but if not, definitely skip it. Everything else, though, was genuinely impressive. The tofu dish came out sizzling hot with great flavor, and every plate we ordered hit the mark. As far as the interior, Hard to believe this used to be a Mexican restaurant, you'd never guess from how polished and inviting it feels now. Remodel looked great. Old place was darker vibe and this is much lighter. The servers were wonderful too. There were plenty of them, they took great care of us, and they walked us through the menu since it was our first visit. My kids have already asked when we can come back, which says it all.
I think this is the third iteration of this Hakka restaurant. It used to be across the street before moving to Bellevue near Uwajimaya and returning to across the street from its original location. The menu is somewhat similar and super delicious. I am half Hakka so I can definitely say the dishes reminded me of home cooking. All the dishes are incredibly delicious. The Hakka style fish filled with rice wine sauce is a standout too. Service is wonderful and very attentive. Definitely will be back in the near future. Two thumbs up
Thrilled Hakka House is now in Redmond! I was a big fan of their Bellevue location, and the food is just as delicious. Love that they have on‑site parking here. The stuffed yong tau tofu is really well‑seasoned. Their pepper‑spiced chicken tastes similar to salt‑pepper crispy chicken. Great addition to Redmond's food scene.
Service: 4 stars Chinese speaking only Food: 4 stars. It's homely. It's not fancy but it Feels close to home cooked meals made by your friend's mom or dad. Ambience: 2 stars. It can be cleaner Parking : 2 stars. limited parking spots or walk a block or street parking. Notes: I would go back. Nice people and good Chinese food.
I'm so glad to find this restaurant again in the Eastside! I used to come to its older location, Eastern Pearl, before it moved to Bellevue, and I loved the dim sum and breakfast items. I visited this restaurant last Wednesday, and was impressed by the great service despite coming in an hour before closing. There was plenty of seating, and a complimentary bowl of lotus soup was served before ordering our dishes. My family and I ordered 5 dishes (pan fried buns not pictured). All the dish portions are family size, and tasted like home. I was most impressed by the spicy chicken dish. It wasn't spicy, but the chicken is super tender while also having a nice, crispy breading. The sauce was amazing, kind of like a sweet, garlic with a light soy sauce flavor. I felt like I could keep eating the food even after feeling full! I also loved the silverware/plating! The dishes are like large flower petals, and the individual plates and utensils are minimalist. The dishes are a little pricier than I like, but worth the great food and service. I'll be coming back again!

Chanced on this Yelp recommendation for dim sum and was happily surprised! The proprietor- a genuinely happy man, greeted us warmly and shared recommendations, helpful since the dim sum menu had no pictures and the description didn't always follow standard dim sum "terms". The pork stuffed tofu is fantastic- hand stuffed by a kindly gal. It has a deep flavorful sauce with delicious onions and portions are enough to easily feed four. The sticky rice was superb - chunks of sausage, ground pork and a perfect rice texture. The fun dish was the taro rings with stir fried veggies, fungi, and bits of pork, shrimp, and octopus. Really interesting and the texture was great. The shrimp and chive dumplings were also tasty - and with thick shrimp with a very fresh chive taste. Same with the shu mai. Also have to call out the tea - it was far better than we usually get at dim sum. Two of ate still we were stuffed and still had plenty of leftovers. Service was perfect and so friendly and personable. We arrived at 3 on a Sunday so it was less crowded. I can't wait to return and try the crispy duck and green beans and other dishes we saw. The quality and freshness of this dim sum is exceptional. read more
After reading about the popularity of Hakka House's weekend dimsum and the possibility of lines, we decided to visit earlier for brunch at around 10:30AM. Turns out that wasn't actually a problem - when we got there, the place was only about 1/4 full and when we left 1.5 hours later, there were still a couple of open tables. Hakka Stuffed Pork Tofu ($19.95) - Tender tofu stuffed with a pork and shrimpy tasting meatball, pounded with plenty of aromatics in a cornstarch slurry thickened brown sauce. This is considered Hakka House's signature dish. (4/5) Hakka Crispy Beef Brisket ($23.95) - This is certainly an interesting dish that wasn't what I expected. Instead of tender braised and marinated fatty beef, this is marinated lean brisket, lightly covered with a sweet potato starch batter and deep fried. Due to being lean, the meat dries out quite a bit, almost like a leathery roast beef, but isn't too stringy. It's decently flavorful, with a slightly sweet and soy type of marinade, but there's a reason it's served with a dipping sauce. The dip is brown and somewhat thickened with a slight sweetness, saltiness, and umami. I'm not entirely sure what goes into it. (4/5) Braised Beef Tendon & Beef Brisket ($23.95) - My initial impression of this dish - delicious concentrated umami and saltiness in the sauce. But then after a while it becomes grating, like way too concentrated of the flavor, too 濃. Even with copious amounts of rice, the saltiness of the sauce sticks to the inside of the mouth and the flavor simmers for almost the entire meal. I almost wish I had pickles with the meal to help balance it out. In terms of ingredients, the dish includes daikon, cooked slightly firm and stringy, carrot, sweet and again slightly firm, beef brisket and beef tendon. I think the brisket could use a little more braise time given that it's slightly tough, but the tendon is rendered perfectly, being soft and bouncy. The dish is good, but has to be eaten in short and small bursts. (4/5) Stir-Fried Beef Chow Fun ($18.95) - Nice smokiness and wokhei on the noodles combined with a perfectly cooked chew. I could eat the noodles just by themselves. There's some onion and scallion to spice things up, and then the beef. While shaped correctly, for some reason Hakka house doesn't tenderize or velvet the meat, so it doesn't quite reach that silky and tender feeling as what would be found in an excellent chow fun. (4/5) Chicken Feet Dim Sum ($7.25) - It's chicken feet. Nice gelatinous membrane surrounding tons of small bones. The sauce is nice - thick, and glaze-like, sweet and salty with some flavor complexity due to just a bit of added heat. Hakka House charges $2 a person for tea, and $2 for each bowl of rice. For our party of 5, they were nice enough to only charge 3 people for tea (one in our party wanted soda, and one just wanted water). I'm not that familiar with Hakka Cuisine. Everything seemed really brown and one note to my taste buds. It was certainly a satisfying meal, but the variety just wasn't there to tantalize and excite. Bathrooms - Two individual rooms, one for men, one for women. Food: [4/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 4/5 read more

We visited on Friday evening, with three adults and one child, and it was a very nice experience. We arrive and were seated right away, the place was almost completely full. Water was brought quickly, in a tea pot, but it took a bit to get a waiter for other drinks. We started with appetizers; Pot Stickers, Meat Dumplings, Scallion Pancake, Guo Gee, and Pan Fried Buns. They were all tasty and well prepared. From there we had Hakka Spicy Crispy Chicken, Hakka Beef, and Crispy Duck, along with white rice. Everything was excellent. The service was good, but sporadic. The bussers kept the tables cleared of dishes, but there were times when we had to wave down waiters to check on drinks and delayed items. Overall, excellent place for Chinese fare. read more
Very happy they're back in town - I went on their closing day when they were still in Bellevue a couple years ago. Food is still as good as it was, the lunch sets are good value and I loved the Beef Chow Fun, the free soup that came with it, and the Beef Noodle Soup. I also got the stuffed tofu on a sizzling plate and my friends loved the onions on that dish. Service is typical of that of a Chinese restaurant but they are efficient and attentive. Food tastes very authentic and I have never ordered something I didn't like from there. The Dim Sum tastes very fresh and would recommend trying some of the dim sum. Vibe feels very authentic and almost like you're back in Asia. They have youtiao on the weekends with soy milk! Will be a regular here, have already gone multiple times since opening! read more
My family decided to come here because they heard this place just opened a while ago and it's good. It wasn't as busy when we got there. Sitter pretty quickly. Idk why, they put one person in charge of pushing cart that is below average of slow. Where there are a few servers that are free to assist lol. That dim sum cart lady took a while to do a 360 loops. The staff are friendly. But just a little bit on the slower side. Overall, portion control can be a little bigger on some entrees. Dim sum portion are fair. This place didn't wow me for their dim sum. Maybe another time. read more
Happy to discover this new gem! If you are walking to the restaurant, there isn't any signage visible on the street at the moment (the establishment's name is above the sidewalk awning) but it's next to Palmer's and has an adorable wooden door. We were seated quickly, which felt lucky considering there were parties at nearly every table. Service was fast, and possibly a little disjointed as three separate people asked if we wanted water as they walked by. Cannot find any fault in their attention to customers! The owner stopped by a few times while we ate, too, to check on us. He is super friendly, and obviously loves his restaurant and what he is doing. I think nearly every table had an order of their stuffed tofu, and for good reason. It's delicious! Order a bowl of rice to eat with it- I like the practice of setting saucy food on the rice and letting it season the bowl, the sauce is too good to waste on a bare plate. (My sister lived in Hong Kong for a few years and was very impressed with my photo of this dish- I think her exact words were "Yeung tofu?! That's hard core." It's not often you find Chinese food this authentic here, as the owner was proud to point out.) Our second dish was the Hawaiian noodle cake with crispy guo gee. The noodles were thin wheat noodles that had been cooked before being set in a hot pan to crisp the bottom. I really loved the mixture of crispy and soft, it's not a dish I had heard of before. The noodles were topped with chicken, pork, shrimp, five-spice BBQ pork, and broccoli in a brown sauce. The guo gee were square wonton wrappers filled with seasoned pork and deep fried. Delicious meal, and we will definitely be back to try more of the menu! Their weekend dim sum looks like a yummy thing to look forward to. read more
Great service and loved the Taiwanese beef noodle soup! The soup had lots of flavor and the noodles had a nice bounce to them. It was a large bowl and very filling. The lunch specials look like they come with many smaller side dishes as well. There is plenty of seating and on a weekday for lunch we were seated right away. As soon as we sat down, we were served a small bowl of complimentary lotus root soup and brought hot water/tea. read more
The place was packed when we got there but they managed to seat us. They had some complimentary soup for us. Also I loved one of the servers, I think maybe Min. She was so sweet and was telling us the history of Taiwan. The food was pretty good too. We'll definitely come back. read more
Love this restaurant the owner and his staff are so nice. Food is delicious as well. We ordered 3 new dishes tonight, steamed beef tripe, hakka pork burger, and Hakka salt & pepper pork knuckle. All 3 dishes were very tasty. Will definitely be back to try more dishes read more

Hakka House is a hidden gem with great vibes for authentic Taiwanese comfort food. I ordered the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup along with the Braised Beef Tendon and Beef Brisket, and both dishes were outstanding. The broth in the noodle soup was rich, flavorful, and clearly simmered with care, while the beef was tender and packed with flavor. The braised tendon and brisket were equally impressive, perfectly cooked with that melt-in-your-mouth texture you hope for in a traditional Taiwanese dish. What really made the experience special was the owner, who is from Taiwan and incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell there is a lot of pride and authenticity behind the food. The portions were very generous, especially considering the fair prices, making it one of the best values I've found for Taiwanese cuisine. If you're looking for authentic flavors, hearty portions, and warm hospitality, Hakka House is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. read more

My boyfriend and I had a great experience here! The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious and came out quickly. They even gave every guest a complimentary soup from the house, which was such a nice surprise. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and very family-friendly. This place deserves more recognition, and we'll definitely be back with our family! read more

I seek out places that offer Hawaiian style cake noodle with crispy guo gee so I was so happy to hear that Hakka House opened in Redmond! It was indeed super ono (delicious). We also ordered the salt and pepper knuckles which was tasty but I wish they offered their salt and pepper pork during dinner service (they offer it for lunch) Service was friendly, fast and very attentive. read more

Coming to Hakka House feels like visiting an old friend or relative that cooks comforting home cooked meals. The owner, Charlie personally welcomes every single patron with a smile even during peak lunch hour, and he makes sure you're situated with steaming pot of tea while you wait for your sumptuous lunch to be prepared fresh straight from the kitchen! The bento style lunch specials great with your choice of entree (I chose the Hakka crispy chicken!) and comes with several yummy sides like tomato egg scramble (so nostalgic of my childhood!), sliced radish/beets, cabbage mix and a heaping scoop of steaming white rice. I also ordered the Abacus Seeds, a taro dish that's not easy to make and hard to find in the States in general so I was excited to find it here! It was yummy with lots of woodear mushroom and snow peas included. Beef horfun was good as well though I would've liked a bit more meat included. I will absolutely be back to try the stuffed tofu and lion head meatballs next! read more

The Hakka owner prepares Hakka dishes rarely seen overseas, such as Hakka Taro and Hakka fish slices with fermented rice wine. The cooking techniques are meticulous, but the seasoning is overly mild, making the Hakka flavors less pronounced. The dining environment is very clean, the owner is very down-to-earth, and all the staff are very welcoming. This is a Taiwanese restaurant worth checking out. read more
