The place where I usually go for take out dim sum was closed, so I asked yelp to find me another. This was a suggestion. There was street parking available, so I decided to go inside. They do not have as many options as the other place, but I was only looking for siu mai and har gao. I asked for one order, so I could try it. Surprisingly, I think their siu mai night be better than the other place. The har gao, not so much, just ok. The inside isn't the cleanest, but the floor wasn't sticky and the tables were clean.
If you're looking for some quick to go dim sum items, Homestyle is a great option and has a decent assortment. Parking is terrible (it is the ID, after all), and don't be discouraged by what may look like empty display cases (a lot is in steamers and in the case). The dim sum is pretty standard but I highly recommend the egg tarts.
Homestyle Dim Sum, its successor or assigns, is a local go to place that is that small, consistent hole-in-the-wall. There have been many name changes over the years, but there are some things that stay the same. The most important is their mix of walk-up to-go service, or sit-down service. The other thing you notice is their selection of Chinese pastries, and choices of dim sum selections ready for walk-out orders. Har gow, shiu mei, beef meatballs. It's there. They also have deep fried sesame balls, and steamed or baked humboa. There are also other pastries but you have to see for yourself. In my case, I chose for sit down service. I ordered the basics of har gow, shiu mei, and beef meatballs. But I also ordered the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. I also ordered my favorite side of steamed rice cakes. There are other favorites like deep fried chicken wings, beef chow fun, or steamed gai lan. Their menu will guide you. Be advised, this is not a full restaurant - but a simple dim sum only restaurant. And that is beautiful! Parking is a little difficult, as is the nature of dining in the Seattle Chinatown-International District. But their bathrooms desperately need to be remodeled. Other than that, the food is good, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Come on down for some Homestyle Dim Sum.
Not a fan. Our usual dim sum place was closed so thought we'd try out this place. The shrimp rolls fell apart so it's hard to tell how many rolls were in our order, and shrimp didn't taste fresh. We also ordered sticky rice which was ok. Both dishes were more similar to full service restaurants like Jade and definitely more expensive than the Dim Sum King.
My last review of Homestyle Dim Sum was almost 5 years ago. A lot has happened since then with the pandemic, Asian Hate vandalisms and break-ins, increased homelessness and crime in the neighborhood, hyper-inflation, and now bird flu affecting cost and availability of their baked goods. Homestyle has largely stayed consistent and, luckily, afloat, throughout these past years. With the price of eggs, I noticed they sell much fewer pastries that require eggs. I still come for dim sum take-outs (vs. dine-in). The same ladies who worked here when this place opened replacing Duk Li Dum Sum are still here. The restaurant did two small maintenance type of remodeling, keeping this modest restaurant functional in an old building. I support mom and pop businesses. This is one of those businesses. I am writing this update mostly to post the latest menu photos. They don't have a website, so it is important to have these photos handy. For lunar new year, we ordered two noodle dishes, one beef, one shrimp, to supplement the home-cooking and the Chinese BBQ from King's. Their noodle dishes are the thin egg noodles that are commonly used in Cantonese style soy sauce noodles. The preparation is the same regardless of protein, stir fried with bean sprouts, onions, and green onions. No change in overall rating.
One of my favorite hole in the wall joints in the CID! It's been here for years and it's formerly Duk Li Dim Sum. Everything on their menu is great and affordable. Big portions too!
Was in the area and was craving some beef tripe, sesame balls, baked char sui baos and chicken feet so I stopped in on my way home. Food is tasty, but it's getting rather pricey. One order of each was over $20.
I'm always on the search for rice cake. It is one of my favorite desserts. Sadly, this one was not good. It wasn't fresh and tasted bitter. Oh, well, I'll keep searching.
Super good! Ran in to grab one last bite before hopping on the train and.. 1. Their dumplings are delish! Went with the chive shrimp steamed dumplings and no complaints. They're super generously sized and their chili oil is super yummy! 2. If you're just buying one thing, bring cash! I had to make a quick run to the ATM since I was under the limit (but it was going to be 10 minutes anyways so it worked out perfectly) 3. They're super nice! I'd originally planned on taking them to go but since my train got delayed they were super nice about letting me pull up a table and enjoy them there (and thanks again!)
I thought Seattle has good Cantonese food, including dim sum, so I decided to pick a place to try. Ended up picking Homestyle 来来点心 because it opens early and has HK milk tea. I have never seen a dim sum restaurant set up like this, but like nostalgia vibe. There is also a bakery counter for things like sweet sesame ball (煎堆), deep fried donut with pork (foot ball) (咸水角). I have no idea why Seattle area translates 咸水角 as foot ball but find it interesting. We sat down, a lady took our order, and brought over the dishes when they were ready. There was no dim sum cart or paper menu to mark off your orders. We ordered chicken feet (5/5), spare ribs (5/5), shui mai (5/5), beef rice roll (4.5/5), beef stomach (3.5/5), and iced HK milk tea (5/5). Everything was flavorful and cooked well, other than the beef stomach, which they have it more crunchy while I like the soft stewed texture more. The beef rice roll has larger portion than the usual size I see. My husband got a "foot ball" to go and liked it too. I am very happy that we tried this place, and left with a satisfied belly and leftovers.
Family owned and they are on site. THe people working there are very nice. They speak english. Fun gor; one of the best available. Texture contrast between slightly crunchy peanut,water chestnut vs tender melt in mouth wrapper. Flavor layered with cilantro and fat from pork. They have to take the extra step of boiling the water chestnut to remove the canned tinny taste from canned water chestnut. Nobody even includes water chestnut in dim sum anymore. Can tell everything inside hand chopped; not from machine. . They sell frozen dim sum; better than any supermarket or dimsum restaurant outside of chinatown. The dim sum restaurants mostly buy from wholesalers so you aren't getting anything they made themselves. They cant find the labor to make each piece by hand. The exception are the jiaozi/dumpling places where they show you they are making them as they are ordered. That freshness from freshly made dumplings is very easy to detect. All the metropolitan areas; Vancouver, LA, SF bay area buy dim sum from large wholesalers. Most of the work is automated by machines. Like croissants; most are made by machine. The hand rolled ones taste completely different. Chow fun has wok hei. They make onsite customize to your liking. Been there many years.
We came to Homestyle Dim Sum as a party of 4 on Sunday morning at 9:30 AM. We were able to be seated right away, and we ordered several things. Our go to's: a green onion bun, the shrimp chive dumplings, soup dumplings, beef chow fun, pork rice roll. their radish and taro cakes. their salt & pepper squid. Everything was so good. I have gone to their restaurant since 2017, and their flavors only improve every time I am lucky enough to go. They are such an underrated spot!

I really enjoyed the sesame balls. They're known for their rice rolls, which were pretty good and authentic. It's set up like a regular restaurant where you order off a menu, rather than traditional dim sum carts. Rice rolls were a little heavy, since it's heavy on the changfen. read more
First time here yesterday. Surprised that we've never been here before. Nothing particularly enticing with this place. It's a simple hole in the wall joint. The space is small, with a glass counter. It has a few tables, maybe 5. There's a cash register where you pay for takeout items. The servers are quick and efficient. We had an order of Char Siu Pao, which were huge and enough filling. The bun was soft and tasty. We also had Ham Sai Kok, which were were equally huge and perfectly made. We'll surely be back to try other things in the menu. Parking can be tough, just street parking. read more

Dim sum portions were huge! Also so glad they have chicken chow fun option since most places only do beef. The sticky rice not pictured could have been more flavorful but some soy sauce fixed it up. Solid dimsum spot, not overly oily and very reasonable priced. Excited to try more items from here. read more

This is the worst dim sum I have ever eat in my entire life. All the food I have took a picture. It was not what I ordered. It looked like somebody just munched it up with their hand and just throw it in to go back taste terrible read more

Walked in just to try out a little bit of dim sum at a place I haven't been to. I'm always happy with my choices in Chinatown/International District. Today I walked over for lunch. Most of the tables were taken. The scene is very humble and laidback. No frills type joint. Only one guy was ordering in front of me in line. I waited about five minutes and walked out with my order. I had the shrimp and pork shui mai, BBQ pork buns, and spare ribs. I only ate half and am filled with food and joy. Sometimes a lil bit of food helps fight the Seattle gloom. read more

I love that they open early, food is so good. Perfect location to pick up before starting your day. Service is really good too. read more
The service was prompt, and the ambiance had a bustling yet cozy feel. It's clear that they take pride in their craft. The variety on the menu was extensive, making it hard to resist trying a bit of everything. If you find yourself in Seattle and have a hankering for top-notch dim sum, this spot is a must-visit. Friendly staff, fantastic flavors, and an all-around delightful dining experience. I'll be back for more Siu Mai, Har Gow, Ha Cheung, Ngao Yuk, and definitely another round of that incredible Feng Zhao - no doubt about it! read more

Great spot for dim sum, friendly staff good food. Limited seating so get in early. Pork bun, pork and shrimp dumpling great, best steamed pork. read more
My friend and I came here for Friday lunch. Other than us there were only two tables. They started serving us food immediately after we placed the order. We got Shui Mai 烧麦, Soybean Skin Roll 腐皮卷, Chicken Feet 凤爪, steamed BBQ Pork Bun 叉烧包, beef rice roll 牛肉肠粉, steamed Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce 蚝油芥兰, and Chiu Chou Dumping w/ peanut 潮州粉果. Everything was fresh and delicious. My favorite were the soybean skin roll and the beef rice roll. Our waiting staff was super nice and the price was cheap ($44 for 3 people before tipping). read more
Pretty average! I've only ever gotten takeout from here so keep that in mind! I ordered the shrimp and bbq pork fried rice, shrimp and pork shu mai, pan fried pork dumpling (football), beef rice noodle, and century egg and pork congee. Fried rice: it was pretty average and bland. There was no seasoning on it at all. It seemed to be made fresh though since the rice was fluffy and not dry. However, I had to add soy sauce to give it some flavor and make it somewhat enjoyable. Wouldn't order again. Shu mai: pretty standard and good! Nothing to rave about, but no dislikes either. Would order again. Football: HUGE and extremely crunchy!! The crunch was phenomenal, but they placed it in a paper bag and the amount of oil ripped the bag open. I think they were made fresh since I had ordered close to closing time, and they were piping hot. The dough inside was really chewy though, and I had to eat a lot of dough before I got to the filling. I would potentially order it again if I was sharing with friends. Beef rice noodle: bland and not good. I ate a bit and threw the rest out. Congee: average. Could use a little bit more seasoning. I prefer the one from Hong Kong bistro. read more

Writing this with the preface that I'm not really a dim sum fan at all, unless it is Yang King in SF, or my fav chain Tim Ho Wan!!! Watching some Strictly Dumpling on YouTube, Mikey Chen ordered some dim sum to go from this restaurant and it got me in the mood. Found it on Yelp, and ordered straight from the app. The chicken fried rice is a pass (on it), kind of bland, chicken was just meh. Har Gow was above average. Plump and clean. Just the right amount of wrapper and happy to have had it. Fried dumpling with pork filling (see picture) was not a "dumpling" that I expected but it was definitely good. Big, Crispy, Crunchy, filling. Would order again. Egg Custard Bun was delicious. I'm a sucker for anything that has Egg or Custard in it. A weakness of mine. Perfect bun that wasn't too starchy, hot, and slightly sweet custard. YUM. This is a small mom and pop shop, with hard workers inside. Definitely good for the way I used it, fast to go ordering via Yelp! Just skip the fried rice and try the actual dim sum! read more
I haven't been by in a couple months but I had a bit of a disappointing experience today which is why I decreased my rating to 3 stars. The amount of filling in the steamed pork bun decreased. It's more bun than anything now. I have previous photos for comparison. The shu mai and shrimp dumpling were consistent. I love their beef chow fun but it was so bad today. It was bland, and the noodles were all stuck together and they barely put any beef in it. It used to be so good. Their prices have gone up again since I was last here as well. I used to come here because it was good and one of the cheaper dim sum places but I will adding other places to my dim sum rotation. read more
What a clutch find for excellent dim sum in the ID! This place had no wait on a Sunday morning, and we came out of our meal super satisfied. They only have 5 or 6 tables inside and service was kind of slow. The waitress didn't speak much English but we were able to order just fine. We had a bunch of made to order dim sum, although most of the people coming in were getting takeout. Dim sum was all the usual assortment - normal sized portions and all very tasty. Had some fried taro cake, shrimp rice rolls, shrimp steamed dumplings, shu mai, and steamed bbq pork buns. Everything we got was yummy and hit the spot. Prices seem comparable to other nearby places. I'd definitely come back here! Tl;dr - Very compatible to other more popular dim sum places in the ID (jade garden, harbor city) and a much shorter wait! read more
My wife is half Chinese and has a deep love of all things Dim Sum. We probably drive To Seattle once per month just so we can get some really good dim sum. Our normal place is around the corner but since we were in the neighborhood, we Figured you would stop by this place. It's a much smaller restaurant than the larger places like Harbor city, But we did find the selection to be solid and they had a couple of dishes that we hadn't seen previously. The Char Siu Bao, coconut buns, egg tarts and other staples were all very good. We also discovered mochi pancakes the word delightful grilled mochi with sweet or savory options inside. The bbq pork mochi pancake is a new favorite! The prices here were awesome with a bag full of food costing something like $13. Winning! This is definitely a spot that we will be coming back to when we are in town and one you should check out! read more
