Sigh. Why is dim sum in this area so lackluster? I am on a mission to find the best dim sum place in Washington that scratches the itch that can compare to dim sum places I've tried in Las Vegas, New York, and San Francisco. The dishes I always get to test the quality is shrimp cheng fun (long rice noodle), ha gao, and shu mai. Unfortunately this place was not it. It was nice to hear the staff speaking in Cantonese which was awesome and they were overall pleasant. But unfortunately the food was low quality and did not taste fresh. The search continues! read more

Food safety issue; twice I've had something that is sour and not good (seafood). I say stick to the BBQ stuff upfront. Staff are friendly, but the dim sum stuff is questionable. read more

Good dim sum menu with standard selections to meet a wide variety of preferences. I also enjoy ordering off the larger menu. We typically get some eggs with prawns, yang zhou chao fan (mixed fried rice), siu mai (steamed pork dumplings), and pea vines (a family favorite) This reminds me of the places in China we would eat where the staff were really, really good, the places did not look fancy, but consistently delivered delicious, reasonably priced food for the money. Check it out. read more

Uodate... a couple of years ago, the quality had become pretty poor. But, recently, I decided to give them another try. The pork buns (while much more expensive than before) were fabulous!!! Im SO happy. They are really close to me, and it was incredibly disappointing when the quality went down. But, Im thrilled to report that they are now better than ever. Ive gotten food from them 3 x in the past week!!them read more

Dim sum was excellent though the eggplant/shrimp was actually lukewarm a cool. Service was quick as expected. And the ambience was relaxed though the tables were tightly packed. However, I don't mind because the food was really good. read more

Got the same dishes we tried last time: the shredded pork with Dried tofu was better this time. Har gow and shu Mai were tasty. Promised in 20 minutes and ready when I finished shopping next door at the Asian supermarket. Able to get a parking spot out front this time. Would go back (I did!) read more

On my first time here, I ordered fried rice and steamed chicken. The steamed chicken was supposed to come with ginger and onions. Instead, there was barely any ginger on it (just a single piece less than half an inch), but there was plenty of green onions. Why bother adding "ginger" into the name of the dish, if they want to skimp on the ginger? I don't understand... The steamed chicken was also sitting drenched in a bunch of yellow oil. I assume it was vegetable oil. I'm used to this particular dish providing sauce on the side and leaving the chicken dry (unsauced). This was the opposite and not what I was expecting. The fried rice was good because it's hard to mess it up especially with BBQ pork, so maybe it's considered mediocre then, if all fried rice is usually good. The second time, I decided to try some duck. I got the BBQ combo with rice. The meats were duck and BBQ pork. Again, the pork tasted good and had some sweetness that was also infused into the rice. The combo came with some spicy green beans, which I also enjoyed. The problem was the duck. It was all bones basically. Any pieces with meat seemed like the innards and were dark. They smelled and tasted like armpit or BO. I was so disgusted by the duck. I don't know if the duck was just made badly or supposed to have this gross flavor. Not only that, it was such a pain having a bone shard in every bite of the duck AND also the steamed chicken. I almost broke some teeth from chomping down too hard when I thought I only had meat and no bones in my bites. Maybe this place is meant for dim sum only based on its name, but I'm curious to try other dishes despite the problems I've had so far. read more

It is a family-friendly Chinese restaurant that offers a variety of delicious dim sum dishes at reasonable prices. The service is homely and cheerful, and the staff welcomes people. The restaurant is located inside Aurora Shopping Center, right next to Asian Food Market, which makes it convenient for shopping and dining. The restaurant has a huge menu with many items already prepared and showcased in the front. You can order individual small plates that are easily shared, or choose from larger dishes like noodles, rice, or soup. Some of the popular items include shrimp dumplings, BBQ pork buns, egg tarts, sticky rice, chicken feet, and siu mai. However, the wait might be a little longer so be prepared or come earlier to avoid the line. read more

I really want to continue to love this place, but I ordered to go from here today and I am disappointed in their changes. I have come here in person and ordered to go many times and I have always been happy with my food. I ordered a large soy sauce chow mein with shrimp, fried shrimp egg rolls and shu mai (all of which I have tried in the past) The chow mein was the wrong type of noodle, which was really disappointing because I LOVE the thinner noodles that usually come with. These noodles were thicker and not what I prefer nor what I have received in the past when ordering in restaurant. The shrimp egg rolls were OVER half filled with imitation crab. In the past when I ordered these egg rolls they came filled completely with shrimp, no fillers like imitation crab. The shu mai was okay, but over steamed. Disappointed to say this is no longer my go to place for dim sum. read more

We came on a Sunday afternoon with a party of 7. Walking in, I was eyeing all the tables because everyone's food looked and smelled so good. We were seated within 10 minutes and eating within another 10 minutes! While we waited to place our order, we were admiring their decor (so many pandas!) and their menus were easy to navigate. We liked that the all menus were laminated and there were pictures of the food. It was a busy afternoon but we still felt attended to. There were so many amazing food options to choose from! We enjoyed: The Pork BBQ buns-these were fluffy and saucy. Salt and Pepper Squid-this was my favorite of everything we ate. The szechuan peppers that were with this were SO. GOOD. These were fried, but not greasy. The color of the squid was also delightful! Sticky Rice-a classic! These came rolled up in leaves. It was chewy, good and filling. Green Beans-it was nice to have something fresh and simple with all of these foods. Sesame Balls-a wonderful sesame ball with red bean paste inside. This was a sweet but not too sweet way to end our meal. There were so many more things we could have tried and it was hard to narrow it down. I would definitely return for some more! read more

These guys had a few hiccups during covid but since then have completely turned it around. The decor has been renovated, the staff super friendly & polite, the restaurant is brighter, has ambience, TVs, and the food is amazing! Whether you're craving dim sum or entrees to share, you won't go wrong here. Everything on the menu is wonderful. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants outside of Chinatown. Tip: If you order to go, do it at the restaurant or be prepared to pay the extra fee for using the delivery services (yes even for takeout). read more

This was my second time at HK and I enjoyed it! There is always parking available in the big lot. Our group of 7 were welcomed and seated promptly. The menus are easy to read with photos/names of the dim sum options. We were going to order by the menu number (wrote it down on a notes app), but the waitress said she wanted the name of the food, so we had to go back to the menu and match the numbers. The food came out very quickly. The staff was attentive: quickly clearing the empty plates and refilling the tea. My favorite items were the fried glutinous rice dumplings, green beans, egg custard buns, and salt/pepper tofu. We were all pleased with the food, service, and overall experience. read more

I wanted to treat myself after organizing a very successful work event and decided to order in! I'd never tried HK Dim Sum (Hong Kong Dim Sum on the Uber Eats / Postmates app), but it had the quickest delivery time today so I decided to give it a shot. Everything was great! I ordered (from front left to right: - Steamed Bean Curd Rolls (thin tofu wrapper around mushroom and fish) - Chiu Chow Dumpling (first time trying this; a clear dumpling wrapper around minced vegetables, ground meat, and the occasional nut) - Steamed Prawn Dumpling (a classic; can't go wrong with good ole Har Gow) - Deep Fried Pork Dumpling (a new favorite; mochi-like football-shaped bun with oily, savory ground pork inside) - Chicken Feet (my favorite; I got 2 orders) - Beef Tripe with Onion Ginger (eh, it's normal tripe; good but not exciting. I prefer honeycomb tripe) - Egg Custard Tart (another classic; can't go wrong) - Szechuan Braised Beef Tendon (for the tendon lover; like the tendon in pho; not spicy) - Roast Pork (not on the dim sum menu, but I love fatty roast pork with a crispy skin on top) No, I didn't eat it all in one sitting! This'll definitely be a treat for the next few days. read more

Great food and service. The staff were really attentive and nice, especially with our family.

I came over for a pound of roasted pork and about half of it was skin and not chewable fat. The taste is ok, but on the sweet side.

This is a great dim sum place next to the Asian market. I feel like the quality and taste of the food is very good, portion size and pricing is also standard. It's also not very crowded a lot of the time, so you don't have to worry about waiting. Cute decorations too. If you're looking for dim sum, you can't go wrong here. read more

Despite the mixed reviews of this place and a few visits in between, I can safely vouch that this place serves some pretty decent Chinese and dim sum food. Came here a few times, on different days and times and overall, food is pretty solid and tasty. Dim Sum Notes: Pricing: Varied - some dishes are priced reasonably in proportion to quality and size while other dishes were a bit pricier when compared to other places in the International District. Overall, it's not too horribly overpriced for the amount of food you eat Size: Definitely an improvement in the last couple of years. The first time I came to this place, portion size were tinnnnyyyyyy. Fast forward to my most recent visit, the size of the dim pieces has definitely grown and is pretty on par with other dim places. Some of my favorite dishes are: baked BBQ pork buns (try both the regular glazed / baked bun and the pastry style), bean curd tofu thing (very tasty!). Chicken feet with satay sauce was good and I was happy to see that this place serves the crispy Chinese donut wrapped in the rice roll. Nom nom All other dim sum dishes are pretty standard. The shu mai was a bit odd since the shrimp part is on top of the meat vs being combined together. For the crispy shrimp balls, the shrimp ball itself was a bit smaller than average but man, the amount of "crispiness" you get from the flakes on the outside = a lot and it's cooked perfectly. Service in general was pretty decent. You don't have to stand and wave your arms about and if you're the type to not want to wait, I would suggest eating here during non-peak hours for better service and attention. Other notes: Besides the dim sum, I find the BBQ pork and roasted pork here pretty tasty. So if in doubt of the dim sum, I do recommend eating the meats since it's pretty tasty. read more

I was really craving dim sum and wanted to try somewhere different (already ate at Jade Garden twice, Hong Kong Bistro, and Din Tai Fung in the past couple months). I also wanted to make it an Uber Eats night and this was one of only a couple dim sum restaurants available. As proven by the attached pic, I ordered Beef Rice Rolls, Steamed Bean Curd Rolls, Mini Sticky Rice with Lotus Wrap, and Pot Stickers all for $25.65 (would've been about $5 cheaper without the delivery fees/tip). Taste wise I would've given 2.5 stars. The texture of the rice rolls were horrible. I've eaten rice rolls several times before and these tasted like too much water was used to cook them. They were so gelatinous and soft/runny--- that's the best way I could describe them. The sticky rice was also pretty bad. Simply put, it lacked flavor. On the other hand, the pot stickers and bean curd were really good. Both perfectly cooked and the bean curd had perfect texture. Service was either 1 or 2 stars. As noted above, I ordered Beef Rice Rolls. But as you can see in my picture, I received prawn rice rolls. Technically, the prawns they sent me were more expensive then the beef I paid for, so some might say I made out. But I don't like whole prawns like that. In addition, they did not include any utensils, napkins, or soy sauce packets. So either they simply forgot or were being cheap. Glad I tried this place but won't got again. read more

HK Dim Sum - Missing -3 pc because we couldn't wait! YUM!!!!! - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The dim sum here is pretty decent. It's not among the best I've had but it is way more convenient than going to I District, as the parking is free and easy and there's not a monstrous line. The fried prawn dumpling is probably the best thing I had here. However, this might be the only restaurant in the state that doesn't serve complimentary tap water for whatever reason. I don't know if they have plumbing issues or something but there's only hot tea. Being thirsty detracts from the dining experience (as does having to pay for bottled water in a city with great tap water). read more

HK Dim Sum is one of my new favorite brunch spots. I'm so happy that we have a good Dim Sum spot north of Seattle! Honey Walnut Prawns are so good, as is the Shu Mai. Not a bad dish to be had here! Though I'm too, *ahem*, chicken to try the chicken feet. Service is efficient and friendlier than a lot of other Chinese places. Definitely try this place out! You will leave full and happy. read more

I recommend soysauce chowmein, it was flavorful. However this dish is expensive consider there are just noodle and veggies. Its $3-$4 cheaper some other places I have been to. I dont enjoy the wonton in chilli sauce. It didnt taste fresh and the sauce was just a simple mix of vinegar and soysauce. I had delicious and house made sauce somewhere else. The business does runs pretty well. They were always busy everytime. They have roasted duck, chicken and bbq pork here. You will see hanging bbq ducks on the window which makes them look like a legit chinese restaurant. I recommend trying those and the dimsum as well. read more

This place has taken a nosedive over the past year. After three consecutive terrible experiences, I'm done. Today's fiasco sealed it. We showed up at 2 pm for dim sum, only to be told the cart service had already stopped--fine, I ordered four dishes from the menu and grabbed a pre-prepped plate. Nearly half an hour later, one dish (BBQ pork) finally showed up. Fifteen minutes after that, we got our shrimp spring rolls. But after another fifteen minutes, the soy sauce noodles, siu mai, and shrimp dumplings were still nowhere to be seen. Mind you, we were the only customers in the place. I counted eight servers doing nothing but loitering, and three kitchen staff leisurely eating their lunch right next to us, without so much as a glance in our direction. An hour passed with us sitting there like fools, only to be prompted to leave. Seriously? When I asked where the rest of our order was, they just stared at each other in confusion, shouting loudly but doing nothing. Not a single apology or explanation. Fed up, I told them to cancel the missing items--we weren't about to waste any more time. And again, no apology. We left hungry, frustrated, and feeling completely disrespected. This isn't an isolated incident either--my last two takeout orders were also disasters. I'd hoped that dining in might redeem them, since the food, when it actually arrives, is delicious. But clearly, that was wishful thinking. Now I'm off to find a new spot to satisfy my craving for good Chinese food, because this place isn't it anymore. read more

Our first impression was that this place seems like your typical Chinese dim sum restaurant with the sticky tables and seemingly impersonal waiters. We were seated quickly and given 4 menus to peruse. We excited to try several menu items and ordered a 2 choice BBQ plate as well as 3 dim sum items - shu mai, char siu bao, and pan-fried radish cake. When the 2 choice BBQ plate came out, the roast pork and roast duck and very oily vegetables were room temperature. Despite the temperature, the flavor of the roast pork and roast duck was quite good. The dim sum items were just as lackluster due to the temperature of 2 of the 3 items. The shu mai was steaming as it came out, but after biting into it, it was still cold in the center. We told the waiter, and they came over, cut into it to verify it was still cold, then they took away our plates and the remaining shu mai and left without a word. I still had some roast duck on my plate, which was now gone, and we were feeling pretty bummed. We also asked for water, and it never came. After that, our pan-fried radish cake came and it was just as oily and room temp as the rest of the other items. The only hot dim sum item was the char siu bao which was quite tasty. Overall, we would not recommend this place. While the flavor was good, we were left wanting because of the temperature of the food and subpar service. read more

I usually head to the ID for dim sum, but my friends who lived north of the city suggested HK(which is right next to Asian Family Market on north Aurora. We went on a Sunday mid morning and we were seated immediately- no wait but it was pretty busy. It smelled like roast duck and bbq pork inside. The staff were kind and efficient. The tables all had big glass lazy susans to make sharing easier. Instead of wheeling out carts in a cramped dining room, they provided menus with pictures (though you could also order by name in English and Cantonese). My companions ordered some fried spare ribs with a sweet sauce that were absolutely spectacular. I got us some fried taro dumplings, my friend ordered pot stickers(they were very gingery which I love). They were delicious but easily the star of the meal was the exceptional sesame balls filled with red bean paste. Probably the best sesame balls I ever had! The siu mai were good but not amazing. The stuffed eggplant was good but not my favorite. I was quite fond of the green beans and I tried radish cakes for the first time and enjoyed them. It's now 10pm and I'm still thinking about the taro dumplings and the sesame balls and the spare ribs. (That's a good thing!) I will definitely be back. The food was good and the parking situation was MUCH better than parking in the ID. Though I missed perusing the carts, it was much quicker and easier to just order from the menus. The staff had service down to a science and everything was handled efficiently and in a friendly manner. read more

I have been shorted of my whole duck purchase twice now! I thought, the ducks must be smaller now...but no, this last time I really only had two wings..what? where are the legs. Plus the thicker parts of the center breast was missing as well. I thought oh, am I going crazy here...but no, this time I can tell for sure as well as my husband could see it. Shame on these people, with all these high prices right now, really! The duck is great..but pricey to have some missing part at dinner time. Sooo disappointed this is happening. $36.36 out the door, not cheap and hurts worse to have some pieces missing. Be warned, take your duck whole, no chop, chop...unless you watch! read more

This place took very good care of us with take out during the covid-19. We got take out, and I was very impressed with how they packaged everything so it would still be delicious at home. Will absolutely be back. I'm overjoyed that they packed the Xiao long bao in tiny cupcake tins so they're still moist and juicy and soupy and delicious at home. After I got takeout at Din Tai Fung and discovered that the dumplings stuck together and tore, causing the soup to dry up, I thought XLB was just not possible as takeout. After all, they're a Michelan authority on XLB right? Well, turns out some locals know how to do it better. Thank you HK Dim Sum for showing me how it's done. All six were inhaled in a blink of an eye. I will definitely be back for more. I also liked the flavor of these a little better. The honey garlic spare ribs were out of this world. Also, this was packaged nicely with the aluminum foil keeping the sauce locked in so it didn't spill all over. Nice attention to detail. I had to remind myself that I was full because I kept reaching for another. So addictive! I'm a sucker for Hong Kong style chow mein and the crispy noodles. House style is delicious. (The "soup" on the side is poured over the crispies. Yumm) Ha Gao (shrimp dumpings) are also plump and juicy. Haven't had the rice and lotus wrap yet, we're saving it for dinner. Ordering over the phone was very easy, and the lady over the phone was friendly and patient and confirmed our order. (Ended up being ~$40). Great attention to detail.

Went for a late lunch on Sunday 5/26. We were looking for dim sum and came across this place. It's a good sized space with lots of tables. There was one other table occupied while we were there so a nice low sound level. Service was prompt and arrival of food was good. The dim sum menu has lots of choices. Since I didn't know much about the food options available my friend and I just decided to try a few things. The special shrimp was ok but whatever that wrap is they use is too much. Steamer BBQ buns were good but way more bun that bbq. The deep fried wonton we were charged 9.95 rather than the 5.95 we ordered. Didn't see this until after the fact. read more

Great place to grab traditional Hong Kong style Dim Sum in the Seattle area without having to go to International District. Their flavors are very traditional and has all the popular fixings on the menu. They are located next to a large Asian Grocery store and has plenty of parking available in the lot. When you get a chance to dine in again, they will come around with the food on carts for you to pick from. The only down side to this place (during this specific time) is that they have increased their prices a little due to the coronavirus. Usually when we get dim-sum for a group of us, it will come out to $20 per person. But this time for the three of us, the total aS roughly $90 making it $30 per person. read more
