I probably eat here at least once every couple of weeks, and the friendly, fast service is always consistent. Most importantly, the food is also consistently good, which is hard to find in an Asian restaurant. The interior is clean and comfortable, making it a perfect spot to bring large groups of friends or family to socialize and eat. Where this place shines is the the dim sum. My favorite go to is always: - Shrimp Hacao (huge pieces!) - Pork Shu Mai (tasty and huge as well) - Beef or BBQ rice roll - Pan fried Taro Cake - Pan fried Radish Cake - Radish Cake with XO Sauce (this is a big portion and recommended if you have a larger group) All their dishes always comes out piping hot! My favorite tea to wash this all down is Buddha tea. I like the buddha tea because it's less bitter than others and has a golden taste to it. Honestly with the exception of the spare ribs, everything on the dim sum menu is pretty good, I just need to bring a bigger group of people so we can just try everything on the menu! read more

Hong Kong Bistro - Dim Sum - Cantonese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is very traditional Chinese restaurant. It has very unique dish. I am here for the pigeon dish. The restaurant has a lot of customers. We started with the whole young pigeon. The preparation is different than the Egyptian style. The pigeon is deep fried with marinated sauce. It was delicious. Price is high for single pigeon. We also got the intestines kidney noodle soup. I think it is just ok. We also got a crispy fried noodle pancake. This is a special dish recommended by my kid. I like it. Overall is good. I like most of the flavor. Price is a bit high. read more

Nice interior, generous portions but expensive. I guess the International district is getting gentrified and everything is going up in price. Great service, delicious dim sum and generous portions but $68.00 for 2 people's lunch seemed a bit high. Bring your appetite and your wallet. read more

Very popular with the locals as well which is an always a great sign. Lot of choices. Protip: The menu has two columns so you can mark choices for round 1 and then choices for round 2. read more

A fantastic restaurant in the International district in a large and clean space with fast friendly service. I opted for dim sum and it did not disappoint. The Yu Choy with Oyster Sauce was great with crunchy stems. The Roasted Duck was delicious with a sweet sauce. The Shrimp dumplings were perfectly steamed with large pieces of shrimp. The Jasmine tea went well with the meal as well. There are a lot of other items I want to try and will be back soon. read more

I came at around 9pm on a Thursday night and was seated right away (party of 5). The food came out fast and was super fresh. This was my first time having taro cake this way -- it was shredded taro fried like a hash brown instead of a paste. The deep fried shrimp balls with the kewpie mayo were very good, and probably my favorite dish. The beef chow fun and shrimp fried rice were standard (good just a bit oily). Overall I would come back to try their other menu items! read more

One of the best spots in the city for all day dim sum, hands down. The food is always hits the spot and warms my belly. Yummy

Hands down the BEST Chinese restaurant in Seattle!! This place has been a long-time favorite of mine for years! Their dimsum and traditional Hong Kong-style Cantonese food is incredible. We started going here during the pandemic to get takeout, and since then we go about 1-2x a month. We always order a TON and have left overs for the weekend. Our favorites are the sweet & sour pork, beef and Chinese broccoli, beef chow fun, pork & shrimp shumai, roast pork, and so many others... The restaurant is always super busy (which is a good sign that it's very popular) and the girl at the front desk is always SO sweet! Definitely recommend if you're looking for some good food or dimsum in Seattle. read more

We didn't order dim sum, but instead went with several large, shareable entrées including the house fried rice, roast duck, ginger chicken, chow fun, and walnut shrimp. For context, I'm from out of town, and this was on a Sunday night when my family was desperately trying to find somewhere to eat. Our first attempt near Pioneer Square ended with a closed kitchen and some suspicious activity in the neighborhood that honestly rattled us a bit. So I was pleasantly surprised when we stumbled upon this place just one train stop away. Not only was it open super late, but it also had a lively crowd and an enjoyable atmosphere. Our group of five was promptly seated, given water right away, and the food arrived piping hot not long after we ordered. We practically devoured everything. The dishes were packed with flavor, the noodles had a great chew to them, and the chicken was perfectly moist. We kept spinning the lazy Susan nonstop because every dish was that good. read more

Totally worth all the hype. They have a nice selection of dim sum that is mostly available all day, siu mai and shrimp + chive dumplings were really well done staples. They also had half a pecking duck for $30 which was a good deal. Perfectly done and crispy but still juicy and tender, just as it should be. It comes with the normal selection of sides and buns as well if you choose. By the people there, you can definitely tell this place is loved by families around International District. read more

Hong Kong Bistro - Pecking duck - Cantonese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Overall: 8/10 Food: 8/10 Radish cake: 10/10. Super crispy on the outside, nice and creamy with chunks of radish and pork on the inside Chicken Feet: 7/10. Wasn't as flavorful or tender as I would've liked. Could've used more color as well Soup dumplings: 7/10. Dough texture was too soft and ripped too easy. The soup inside and filling was good though and there was plenty of soup and filling Shrimp and chive dumpling: 9/10. Plenty of filling and it was properly seasoned Taro ball with custard: 11/10. Custard was creamy inside and it was the perfect sweetness a dessert dim sum should have Tripe: 8/10. Could've used a little more seasoning Fried Taro Cake: 5/10. Was too sweet for something that was supposed to be savory and not a sweet desert Shrimp spring roll: 8/10. Very crispy wrapper and filling was full of shrimp Ambiance: 9/10 Traditional no frills dim sum via menu. They also had a large menu of non dim sum items. The fact that they were open until 2 am was a huge bonus Service: 7/10 Service was a little slow but that was probably because it was Lunar New Year read more

This is a place that I guess I didn't know was there. I mean...it's not new, but I came at the suggestion of others. We popped in for lunch and I went after the brisket noodles. Maybe could have been a bit more anise flavored and tender, but it wasn't bad. I probably should have tried something else to try, maybe next time. read more

I thought this place was pretty decent for the price. My mom wanted Asian food while we were driving through Seattle so we came, and she got an order of lo mein noodles with beef. It ended up being a soup based dish, so the noodles weren't the pan fried "classic" take out type. The broth seemed fish based, and was a little bit strong. I tried some and didn't love it but she liked it and for about $25 there was enough food for multiple meals so pretty good deal! The inside of this place was decently nice and had a lot of seating so that was good too. I wish they'd had like a side dish of just vegetables since a lot of the dishes were very carb or meat heavy. One thing I don't like about the area and Seattle (downtown) in general - there is NO free parking anywhere nearby. We just wanted take out so i ended up leaving the car and my mom about 1.5 blocks down with the emergency on and going in to get the food since there were almost no other spots to even leave the car, much less anything free. Overall - didn't feel too strongly about this place. It was good, got the job done. Wouldn't seek it out again necessarily. read more

Overall: Pretty solid dim sum. The inside is nice but also very busy. Food: The dim sum here was pretty good, they have a few stand out dishes but overall everything tasted good. Service: The service is fast for how many tables they work. You can order and get your food relatively quickly, even during peak hours. Ambiance: This is a nice sit down place, but definitely flexible into the casual area. read more

The food here is always solid. I think service is decent, they do their best but maybe if they had one more server. Sometimes it's super busy but there's always a table. Been here 3 times & every time their food reminds me of my childhood. Writing a review because their roast pork was the best I've ever had. I've only had dryyyy, hard roast pork. Compliments to the chef WOW. All their other dim sum is solid too. Har gow shrimp portion is large & the wrapping is perfect (it doesn't rip open). Will happily return. read more

Ambience is bright and classy. It was decently busy on a Wednesday night, and the food came out surprisingly quickly. Service left nothing to be desired. I think the most notable things about this restaurant are ambience, dim sum offering (even during later hours), and the very expansive menu. I was overwhelmed with how many things I wanted to try. Stuffed eggplant: 5/5, this was my favorite by far! Came with a dipping sauce and stuff with a shrimp-like filling. Sichuan five spice chicken: 3/5, good taste but meat to bone ratio was small and was a bit dry to my liking. Overall a pretty solid place and this would be my go-to the next time I'm craving some late night dim sum. read more

Another great go-to for dim sum! Although it can get busy during peak times, such as a weekend lunch. But once you stick it out and wait (just don't go while you're super hungry!), you'll be pleasantly surprised with how good their dishes are! Our usuals, shu mais, shrimp balls, sticky rice, tripe, etc are always a hit. They've got so much shrimp in them! I love their green beans...so much flavor! We'll occasionally get a lukewarm dish and maybe a slower than usual service, but it's because they're so busy! I love sitting in the booths; it feels away from the hustle and bustle and is a little more quiet and intimate. read more

I'll be honest, we were supposed to go to honey court, but they don't do all day dim sum like this place, and I already paid for parking so we decided to go here. This place was actually pretty good (taste wise) but the service was not great. We ended up getting the stuffed eggplant, siumai, rice, fried shrimp balls, salt and pepper squid, roast pork and the mango sago with coconut milk drink. My favorite was the mango sago with coconut milk drink. It was really refreshing, not artificial tasting and I didn't mind the frozen sago. I did also like the siumai. I wish there was were most sauce in the stuffed eggplant, and more seasoning for the salt & pepper squid. We actually also ordered the soup dumplings and honey walnut shrimp but never came out. We were really bummed considering it took forever for all of our food to come out. Our roast pork & squid came out first, then took like 15-20 minutes for the rest to come out (including the rice) I ended up ordering the mango drink to go and it took super long for it to come out like 20 minutes. The lady came up and asked if we got it yet and said no, then came out with it... Prices, seemed on the higher end. Would come back again for the all day dim sum. read more

Our friend brought us to Hong Kong Bistro while we were in town and I still dream about it! We waited about 30-40 mins on a Sunday around 11 am, and my first impression was that the restaurant was extremely spacious and clean. We ordered about 20 items for 5 people (left overs galore lol) and there were quite a few that were unique in comparison to our local dim sum restaurants - my favorite being the mushroom steamed rice rolls. The variety here really stands out, and I'll definitely be making Hong Kong Bistro one of my Seattle staples any time I come visit. read more

Ordered a couple items from the place, I would say overall, dim sum taste much better than the other dishes. They do have a few unique items, and highly recommend the pan fried taro cakes. The rest of the dishes are average, nothing stand out. Service is average just like any other Chinese restaurant. read more

So I used to go here as a kid I'm guessing 50 years ago so that building was closed up for 50 years. The place is super clean super modern humongous menu.

I would give it a 3.5 Environment: this was my first time having dim sum in Seattle. There were lots of seats and of course different sized tables but mostly bigger tables. Staff: they were friendly overall but it was slightly like a game of telephone as some of the bus boys we see all the time, we had to ask them for something because we can't find other servers. So they helped relay the message or find a server for us. Food: there were lots of things on the menu. If we had more people, we could've ordered some plates and not just dim sum. Anyways, the food slowly trickled in, not incredibly slow but we had to double check if they forgot our orders or not but there was only one person making all the rolls on a busy Saturday. Anyways, the food was fine but not authentic-sized. The ha gao was huge, like two people could share one as well as the siu mai. The other foods were good but not outstanding and wow I want to try again. I do however want to try their dishes next time as there were lots of Cantonese dishes that caught my eye. I'll come back some day haha. read more

This place is reliable. The food is what you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant. The prices are the high side but service is prompt and the food comes out pretty quickly.

Wow! We had a fantastic experience at Hong Kong Bistro! Even though it was super busy at lunch over a holiday weekend, we were seated quickly, only about a 10 minute wait. Service was fast and easy and we had questions about what to do and the staff was helpful and kind. We opted for only Dim Sum and no other entrees. We got the chow mein, bbq pork, sautéed string beans, fried shrimp dumplings, and pan fried pork buns. The star of the show was the friend shrimp dumplings!!! Everything was phenomenal. Clean, lots of searing. If you're in Seattle, you must come here! read more

Delicious! Our favorites were the Sautéed String Bean w/ Spicy Minced Pork and Pork & Shrimp Shui Mai. We also had the Sticky Rice in Lotus Wrap and the Beef Chow fun. The noodles were missing a little salt, but adding soy sauce was all it needed. My girlfriend wished the Lotus wrap had more Chinese sausage, but it also had minced chicken and shrimp in it. Service was fast and very nice staff, and the overall ambiance was nice. They were playing fun 2000-2010s music. read more

This restaurant opened at 10am and I was there when they opened up. You order dim sum on a piece of paper. The food came out pretty quickly and it was nice and steamy hot. I like their hau gau. All the food was pretty good and the bathroom was clean! The decor was very warm and clean as well. We ended up ordering - beans, buns, shrimp rolls, shui mai, hau gau, ..the usual suspects. Parking can be tricky but glad we got there early. read more

Hong Kong Bistro - 12/24 - Cantonese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Located in Chinatown, they open late and offer all-day dim sum! Stopped by on a Sunday night and it was busy, but we got seated quickly. Casual vibe. Large menu with many selections. They took our orders and brought out our food fairly quickly. This was the only dim sum place that we visited in Seattle and most of the dishes were pretty solid. Not sure how to compare the prices, but it's a bit pricier than most dim sum places I've been to in general (normally $5-7 a dish). Dim sum dishes here were around $7-8 each. $7.25 for 4 Shanghai (soup) dumplings that were very mid (thick skinned and not a lot of soup) was ridiculous. Even at Din Tai Fung (a classier spot known for soup dumplings) it is $17 for 10 in Los Angeles. So using that as a base, I would say the value wasn't there. read more

Oh, I find the 3.5 star average a tad surprising. 3.5 is not high on Yelp and normally gives me some hesitation if I see that. And with the huge amount of dim sum in this area now, I dare say there's quite a lot of mediocre dim sum that end up with a 3.5 average. Everything I ate here was above average imo. Fen guo (chiu chow) - Nice texture on the wrap and the contents. The flour is quite stretchy, but I think that's ideal for this dumpling. Delicious and fun to eat as usual. Tofu skin roll - Warm, juicy, and delicious. Feet - Warm with great flavor. The skin pretty much falls off. Some places have the cold, hard, and slightly spicy ones, but I much prefer this kind. Noodles - I think the beef is just okay, but the overall texture and umami of the noodles is excellent. Duck - A lot of places make this kinda roast duck kinda dry. I like how this one was softer and juicier. Overall, I can find almost nothing to complain about. Didn't have any issues with service either. We were seated, ordered, and received food promptly. read more

Arguably, I think HK Bistro is the best Dim Sum spot in the Seattle area. The place is always popping with people and there is a lot of seating, but depending on the day you might have to wait up to 45 minutes. I love that they have all day dim sum and they close late. The Har Gow & Shui Mai are always fatty and fresh. I think their best dish is the green beans with spicy minced pork. They make the best green beans out of all the Chinese restaurants in town. The service is typical of a traditional Chinese restaurant and sometimes it's hard to get their attention because it's so busy, but I love to see the crowdedness of families eating dim sum together read more

Hong Kong Bistro - Cantonese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been here a handful of times since they opened and they've been really consistent with their food. They are clean and it's quick to get seated here compared to many restaurants around in the International District. The servers are nice but when they are crowded, it's hard to get their attention to refill water, order more, etc. I think their dimsums are very normal, nothing special compared to Triumph Valley or Top Gun, however, it's a plus that their dimsums are available all day and good enough to satisfy my cravings. They do a great job with fried rice, stone pot dishes, etc. They offer Peking Duck in half so it's easier to order that way if you also want to try. I'd suggest ordering 3-4 dimsums dishes and their house special dishes if you come at lunch and dinner read more

DIMSUM SESSION (3.25 stars) - FOOD: ok - PRICE: average - SERVICE: typical Chinatown service (weak) - AMBIANCE: not cute on the outside but cute for Chinatown on the inside It's SUNDAY. Great minds think alike! We were both craving dimsum for breakfast and came to Chinatown for the experience. For both of us, it's been decades since we had dimsum in Seattle's Chinatown (separate occasions) but first together and didn't know where to go. Seattle may have changed and became unrecognizable but Chinatown stays stagnant. This was our 3rd restaurant pick because the first one looked underwhelming, the second one looked promising but long line. This place looked pretty inside and we were able to secure a table quickly. Sadly... no carts roaming around the floor. At the end of the meal, it wasn't about the experience - it was about the company!!! JASMINE GREEN TEA - you been warned! Their tea is SO hot it can burn you. This is a law suite ready to happen. Good tea, mildly-strong. Tea goes so well with dimsum! CHINESE BROCCOLI AND OYSTER SAUCE - this was and always will be a hit at any dimsum session. This breaks up the meal and gives the pallet something "fresh". HIGHLY RECOMMEND SPARERIBS IN BLACK-BEAN SAUCE ($7.50) - good but nothing special. Meaty yet the bones were kind of sharp. Good flavor, average tasting juices. This would be good with some white rice but the rice never came. RECOMMEND BAKED BBQ PORK PUFF PASTRY ($7.95/3pcs) - this was good BUT much more sweeter than usual. It had a nice flaky, filled with glazed pork, and the Philo dough I ate this last and treated it like a dessert because the it was basically a sweet pastry instead of a savory pastry. RECOMMEND STEAMED SHANGHAI DUMPLINGS ($7.95/4 pcs) - this wasn't DinTaiFung quality. The soup had a sweet taste over savory. The outer skin was soft but not delicate. Overall it just felt unfresh and one of those dimsums you get in the frozen food section. SHRIMP AND PEA VINE DUMPLINGS ($7.95/3pcs) - again, why were these SO big. They were the size of 2 put together and they were super filled up with shrimp (good thing) but had to deconstruct the dimsum to eat it. This was pretty good and liked this more than the Shrimp and Chives. HIGHLY RECOMMEND SHRIMP AND CHIVE DUMPLINGS ($7.95/3pcs) - why were these SO big. Average tasting. Dimsum isn't great when it's big, doesn't feel like dimsum. LO MAI GAI ($7.50/2 servings) - Sticky rice and port wrapped in lotus leaf. It had chicken and Chinese sausage. This is very savory and the lotus leaf gives it an earthy/grassy flavor. Pairs well with a drizzle of vinegar. RECOMMEND SIDE OF WHITE RICE - we never got and never was charged. But we were waiting for it. :: SERVICE :: Definitely lacked. Why was it SO weird?! The Mexican server seemed like he didn't know what we were asking sometimes. A Chinese server grabs our menu with our markings without verifying the order. We did sit there and chat over tea for a long time and then another server comes by rushing us out. Not like there's a line but the restaurant was full and the table next to us had maybe 5 different parties. There are a handful of other dimsum restaurants to be hand. I'd come here to eat regular Chinese food but maybe try another dimsum spot. Until the next review.. read more

The duck is amazing my suggestion is to order the duck and take out! When they offer you tea you will be charged 1.80 per person! Seriously?! A pot of tea should be complimentary it's common tea! Not a specialty tea, 1.80 per person!!!! The portions are small the prices are high! The best duck in town, just get the duck and run! read more

I'm not sure why this place has low reviews because I think it's PHENOMENAL. I've had lots of dim sum restaurants, but this spot has some of my favorites. Specifically their purple sweet potato salted egg - I'd eat this dessert every day because it was incredibly delicious. Also, their dim sum is high quality - their shumai and shrimp dumplings were huge - not because of the wrapping, but because the actual shrimp itself was huge. I'd definitely recommend this place. Service was fast, as any dim sum restaurant, and the ambiance was perfect. The place was a little expensive, but worth it in my opinion. read more
