I saw this place as I was walking by. it was busy so I had to take a look and try something. I grabbed two Chives chicken shrimp dumpling. It was OK there was a really strong aftertaste for the chicken so I didn't really like it. I really needed to dip it in Sriracha maybe or chili oil. They also sell other dim sum items like baos, pineapple baos& most of your regular dim sum favorites. There's no place to sit so you just grab and you'll have to find a seat somewhere else to eat your food.

Beef Curry
Susan Z.

It's crazy how much they charge for a bun or any dim sum they have here because it's 2-3x standard, but I guess it's to be expected given the prime tourist location of Pike Place Market. I liked the beef curry bun better than their BBQ pork, because a standard BBQ pork bun is better than the ones they make here. The BBQ pork was a tad bit sour and not the best flavor; it was also quite red which suggests more food coloring than average. Decent chinese bun if you're looking for something like this in the area. Otherwise, I'd pass for something else in the market.

Curry beef homboy
Jessica G.

Another iconic spot in Pike Place market with consistent long line since early opening time. Nonetheless, as they continuously made everything, they're all fresh yet ready to serve warm. It's more like grab and go Chinese snacks so no sit-down space. We got their crowd's favorite Curry Beef homboy and Crab Rangoon along with the Red Bean Sesame Ball for the sweet option. The first was basically their pineapple bun, also available with pork and chicken stuffing but indeed the curry beef being most popular. The price became understandable once you saw the huge filling size as well as tasted the flavorful bun with rich tasted curry sauce. The crab rangoon was fully stuffed as well and nice crispy skin. And red bean sesame ball? Honestly traditional Chinese bakery always got it right!

BBQ Pork Bun
Andrew D.

AMAZING PORK BUNS ! Honestly, wow. I really did not know what to expect when ordering from this establishment since it seems to be one of the few Asian shops along Pike Place Market. As an Asian-American, I'm typically pretty wary of Asian food shops in a predominantly New-American cuisine area. However, I am definitely very glad to have given this place a shot. You can expect to have your order taken and served in a relatively quick manner. The ambiance of the shop is similar to those all along Pike Place Market, a bit fast casual. Mee Sum Pastry offers a wide variety of dim sum options to choose from but they are known for their delicious pork buns! I had the BBQ Pork bun and honestly, it was one of the most delightful items I had during my trip to Seattle. The bun is nice and flavorful, with a soft, fluffy texture. The meat inside is juicy and plentiful, definitely a welcome surprise based on the exorbitant prices of the other dim sum items on their menu. I would highly recommend stopping by this shop, especially if you're into Asian cuisine. I would advise to steer away from the dim sum because it's way overpriced but definitely get their pork buns!

Chicken bun
Anisya N.

The chicken honbow's bread was soft, fluffy, a little sweet and as a result didn't work with the filling of chicken, mushroom and onions in my mind. The filling itself wasn't anything to write home about either and there was barely anything in it. The chive dumpling was not bad thought but definitely not worth the price. A skip in my head.

Humbow for the game
Jessilyn C.

We ordered some humbow, almond cookies, and sesame balls to take to the ballpark to watch the angels vs Mariners. It's been our favorite for 21 years. We lived downtown next door to pike place market, and mee sum always hit the spot. Reminds me of the dim sum places in Chinatown San Francisco. It was my nieces first time in Seattle and wanted her to try all of puke place had to offer. Even though it's a 30 minute drive for us, I'll always pick up some fresh humbow and sesame balls from Mee Sum. Not that personable at the window, but who cares as long as we get our delicious dim sum.

I was so excited to get snacks from here from all the hype I heard... it definitely lacking. The hot food was ready and fresh. My cookie though was hard as a rock, like hit on the table hard. The buns really lacked flavor, there was too much bread to flavor ratio. Not worth the hype.

Barbecue pork bun was amazing! Everything was quick! Staff were so nice and clean. Def recommend!

Food: Finally tried the popular baked pork bun here! I would say it's an 8/10. I loved the texture of the bread. it was soft, fluffy, and flavorful. there's a decent amount of pork and flavor filled inside as well! Service: I honestly thought they were pretty rude and were not very helpful. I asked one simple question and was snapped back at like she was annoyed and was rushing me. Ambiance: Pretty popular and easy to stop by as you're walking by on the streets! There's no inside of the store you can go into. You order outside at the front and your order will be given to you

Curry Beef Hombow
Amelia C.

This place does not need any more positive reviews, however this is truly a must stop place in Seattle. I came twice during my trip and could have gone even more. We ordered a multitude of items but my favorites being the hombow. It's delicious steamed or baked but I honestly prefer the baked version because of the filling inside is stronger. However, the steamed hombow dough is so delicious and fluffy, it is truly up to personal preference. A beautiful blend of savory outside to the hombow to the sweet filling of the bbq pork. The line can be long, but if you go right when it opens on a weekday you will be first served! I will be back.

Love this small counter with n Pike Place. It's very popular, they put a place to queue on the street so it doesn't block the pedestrian walkway. The pastries are prominently displayed nicely inside a glass counter. There is a 2 ordering counters with a friendly staff. We love the steamed Baos (buns) , either filled with pork BBQ or chicken. The fillings are generous, unlike other Chinese restaurants. We had the pineapple buns, good as well.

Jessica M.

Mee Sum has two booths with one side selling beverages and the other side selling baked goods and steamed dim sum. They are on the pricier end. We had a late flight to catch so we picked up a few items to have as dinner at the airport. We shared the following: sesame ball with red bean paste, siu mai, curry beef buns, vegetarian bun, vegetarian egg roll, and potstickers. Normally potstickers are pan-seared. The Mee Sum version was steamed and very mediocre. The curry beef bun was exceptional. It had a nice crust and just the right amount of filling.

outside
Mollie P.

Pricey but worth it for some things. There is no inside, the line starts outside and the space itself is a small booth. Service was good, the line moved quick and everything was made fresh. Out of the food we tried the most worth it was the bbq pork steamed bun and the crab rangoon. Would come back for those.

My husband and I shared the chunkiest bowl of clam chowder ever. It was hella amazing. I wish I have room in my stomach to try the $2 oysters but the deal is only for 6 at the minimum. Staff were quick and sweet. She was also very understanding because I felt really bad that we only wanted a bowl of soup and that's it. We were eating so much that day. There's also an indoor and outdoor area to eat. The restaurant is a hidden gem and kind of tucked away inside the hallways so you definitely want to look out for the two dollar oyster signs. that will be your beacon. Next time, I'll try not to snack so much beforehand so I can try out all of their oysters and have a big bowl of razor clam chowder to myself!

Menu was medium sized so we went with the fried oyster, Caesar salad, fish and chips, and the Dungeness crab pasta. Food came quickly but were very mediocre, the oysters were a little undercooked and the fish was dry. Service was decent, but not sure if it was worth an automatic 20% "service fee" that was added to our check. Safe to say we won't be back next time.

First of all, the oysters were outstanding! They have tanks here, so the person who takes your order picks your oysters. The oysters were uber fresh, briny and succulent. Secondarily, the salad was large and a nice palate cleanser w/ the lemon and fresh anchovies. The blonde waitress was really nice and brought me more anchovies. Next was the steamers (clams & mussels). Both shellfish were super fresh and cooked in a mild broth. The only thing missing was some frites. Lastly, the moqueca had a rich broth, and a little bit of rice to balance the broth. There was a ton of fresh seafood, and we dipped the sourdough baguette to mop up the broth. Regarding the ambiance, its open and casual. The tanks are in the center and you can see all the fresh seafood inc dungeness crabs. We interacted w/ three staff, and they were all super friendly & warm. We appreciated the great service, and were happy to pay the 18.9% service charge. Taylor has a few locations in Seattle, and I believe you can also do a tasting tour at their actual farms. After my experience, its no wonder they've been in biz since 1890.

Altho they were fresh, the quality was nothing compared to Taylor Shellfish. For dinner, I had the King Ora salmon over a Walla Walla onion ring and a bed of corn. The fish was really moist, and the chef thought this dish out well. Major downside tho was the $61 price vs a small piece of fish. Others had steak frites, crab roll & fries and clam chowder. I had some of the crab roll & fries, and both were really good. The roll was packed w/ fresh crab, and the fries were cooked twice. Again the only downside was the $45 price. Regarding the ambiance, its nice in here. However, the "half shell" seats leave much to be desired. They are too tight for 4 people. I sat on the outside, and the person to my left kept hitting me w/ her knees: She is only 5 foot. It would be impossible for an average height person to sit next to me. Lauren R was a very good waitress. She was attentive, friendly and on top of things. On the other hand, the kitchen did not space our oysters well vs the mains. It took a long time to get our mains. Two other tables that ordered after us received their food before us (major pet peeve for me). 3.5 Stars overall. The food is pricey (nearly $100/each - one person had clam chowder and no one had alcohol), and the "half shell" seating doesn't work for me. However, the staff is friendly and the food tastes good. I'm on the fence if I would return.

We had to ask for the happy hour menu in the dining area. Server didn't automatically offer it so was a little surprised. I don't think they have a bar so how else are you supposed get happy hour prices?! Got the house white wine and the chicken tenders. The chicken came with a side of ranch and mustard as sauces as well as some coleslaw. It's a fish place so can't be that upset on chicken taste, but some bites were on the meatier end than others, which weren't ideal. Based on that alone not impressed. Can't speak to anything else unfortunately. Varied menu (though pricey). Self pay parking lot.
