Omg love this place! There can sometimes be a line but don't worry, it moves pretty quickly and is totally worth it so don't be deterred. My favorites are the lotus egg yolk mooncakes (omg some of the best I have ever had), the shrimp and chives thing, and the buns - I liked the steamed chicken bun and the sweet crusted top chicken bun (they are usually out of the pineapple buns so I got this as an alternative). The egg tarts and the bbq spare ribs on a stick were also good. Note there is no seating - you just walk up and order - but you can eat most of it on the go so no worries. Highly recommend! read more

This is a Pike Place Market gem! If you're craving authentic Chinese steamed or baked buns, dumplings, sesame balls, and more, go here. It's a little pricey but worth it! You may need to wait in line but it moves quick. Check the hours before you go. Recs: Steamed/baked BBQ pork bun, sesame ball, crispy pork pastry, BBQ pork on a stick read more

I was skeptical about trying this place since it's in a touristy area right outside Pike Place. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I tried the Curry Beef Hom Bow, BBQ Pork Bun, and Char Siu Stick. The service was quick and a bit cold -- which I'm totally fine with. The Curry Beef Hom Bow is like a Cantonese pineapple bun -- it has a sweet, crumbly crust on top that pairs amazingly with the savory curry beef. This was my favorite item. I just wish there was a bit more filling inside. The Char Siu Stick was also great -- not too sweet, not dry, and a good portion size. I loved it too! The BBQ Pork Bun was just okay. Nothing special, and a little on the dry side. I'd skip it next time and get two Curry Beef Hom Bows instead. The price is on the higher side. I don't remember the exact amount, but the buns were almost $6 each and the stick was around $9. That said, it's in a prime location and very convenient if you're in the area. read more

You guys! I sometimes fantasize about driving from PDX to Seattle just to get one of these little beauties. The curry beef particularly haunts my dreams and I hear its siren call often - sweet and spicy and flaky oh my! Worth whatever line has gathered! It's a whole vibe to stand on the street and eat a bun while the flakes cover your shirt until you brush them off onto the sidewalk instead of eating the crumbs like a heathen. read more

the beef curry pastry was lightly sweet because it was coated in light sugar, but tbh it was way too buttery for me and I'm not a fan of curry that is slightly sweet, so this was a miss for me. but I enjoyed how fluffy the layers were! read more

The first bite into the buns had a substantial bread layer, but the bao was filled with a generous portion of BBQ pork. The curry bun has a unique sweet top layer that contrasts oddly with the savory curry flavor inside. However, the curry filling on its own is incredibly seasoned and delicious. read more

Tried the bbq pork bun, the chive and shrimp dumpling, and an egg tart. The bun and the tart were both good but the chive and shrimp dumpling i did not like. Service was friendly and quick. They have a separate counter for drinks. I ordered a milk tea and it was delicious with a strong tea flavor and balanced sweetness. read more

I grabbed two steamed bbq buns (what can I say, I wanted manapua) and they were amazing! So soft and flavorful inside! The buns were ready to go too so the service was pretty quick (although there was a line, but nothing too crazy). Ambiance wise, it's outside and I think it's just fine for what you're getting (food over ambiance!). read more

When in Seattle you must go here!! Food: food is amazing from the crispy pork bun to siopao. The flavor is just felt like I was back home. Service: friendly and knowledgeable of what to order if you are new. Ambiance: you have the core of the pike market, there's no seat and you would have to wait in line if you go there late but it's definitely worth the wait!! read more

Delicious small bite. Got the shumai & chive shrimp chicken dumpling. Very flavorful. However, pricey (relatively speaking to dim sum) - but such is Pike's marketplace for many food places, esp if conveniently located as they are. Worth the purchase, and would get again! read more

Quick, tasty dim sum right in the heart of Pike Place! We grabbed the baked pork buns and truffle siomai--both were delicious. The pork buns were warm, slightly sweet, and perfectly fluffy. The truffle siomai had a rich, savory flavor that felt like a little elevated twist on a classic. Great spot for a quick bite while exploring the market. Will definitely be back to try more! read more

This place was fantastic! Not only was the food delicious, but the price is hard to beat at Pike Place. I got the bbq pork Humbao, which I highly recommend. No notes whatsoever. It's a stand off the side of the street. The food looks fresh and the service is quick. The buns come out hot as well! I can't wait to play tourist again and visit pike Place so I can stop by Meesum read more

The food here is amazing. The pork dumplings were soft and savory. Add the chili sauce and perfection. The green tea sesame ball was soft, sweet and crunchy on the outside. The dark inside a delicious black bean paste, I think. My son had a beef curry puff and it was gone fast. The pork bun was delicious bbq pork inside perfectly barbecued flavored. The bun reminded me of a sweet Hawaiian roll. Only better. Super friendly service. After we ordered, the line suddenly grew! I've been wanting to try this spot since moving here and having city adventures. Numerous foodies on Instagram rave about it. It is definitely better than I expected. And affordable. It was approximately $20 for all our snacks. No carb regrets! Treat yourself. SYOY! read more

This place has the best steamed and baked bbq pork buns (Manapua) hands down. They're huge in size and it's absolutely delicious. The egg tarts and red bean sesame balls are yummy also. If you're in the Pikes area, you need to give them a try. You can also watch them make all their items in the kitchen area also. Very cool! read more

First time visitor to this spot located in pike Market Open 8am Various small bites individual wrapped breads multiple types of baos drinks savory sweet quick something to go Tried pineapple bread, curry har bow, green matcha sesame ball, egg tart, and cha shu pork stick Pineapple bread was dense with a crispy top. Egg tart wasn't really runny and no flaky layers to the crust Cha shu pork can be tough to eat off the stick and some pieces were chewy or fatty as thicker pieces can impact its taste Curry bread was soft and fluffy and some nice spice but wasn't really filled to much The star was the green matcha sesame ball with black sesame seed filling - soft warm chewy easy to share as a snack or consume too many in a sitting Service quick and efficient and not a place to sit and dine but grab and go. Pricing on the higher side but expected since in a tourist spot. Overall wasn't impressed with the quality but would go back for the green matcha ball. read more

Mee Sum Pastry is one of the great grazing options as you peruse the market. You can get Dim Sum items by the piece like Siu Mai, char siu pork skewers, pot sticker dumplings, sweet and savory hum bow buns and moon cakes! I am partial to their truffle pork siu mai which is a very nice twist on the classic dim sum item. The line moves pretty quickly so don't be intimidated when the line forms up. It's a no frills food stand with no seating but there are places to sit on the other side of the market building in the newly built veranda facing the waterfront. Or you can wander around and nosh on your way to your next food stop. read more

Definitely not cheap, but it's right in the middle of touristy Pike Place market. Also, they're pretty big size-wise so that counts for something too. The green tea sesame ball is so unique! Loved the lava-y black sesame filling and the subtle green tea chewy mochi ball. I L-O-V-E-D the curry beef puff that was filled with the savory filling and wrapped in a flaky, buttery puff pastry. $10 for the two pastries. I'm unsure of the exact breakdown, but it's probably roughly $5 per piece I would assume. There was one person in front of me in line at 9am on a Friday and they didn't have all their pastries out in the display case yet, but when I asked they were fresh out of the oven on the rack. I need to come back and try their gigantic bao! read more

Wow, $6 for a bao?!?!? It's Pike Market so I guess the prices are going to be outrageous!

While at the market, we decided to pick up a snack here. We tried the bbq pork and curry beef hombow and they were really good. Both meats paired perfectly with the breading. This is a place to pick up the food and go. There is no place to sit down and enjoy it. Despite that, I would definitely recommend it. read more

Green tea sesame ball and bbq pork buns are a must!!!!!!!!! I waited 15 mins for a fresh batch! My favorite thing I ate today. Line is long but goes by quick. 5 buns and 3 sesame balls came out to $50. read more

This place is busy every time I come. I ordered some noodles this time around along with my curry bun. The noodles are super bland! But only like $6 so not a bad snack if you're starving--or you could take them home and dress them up. The bun is not at good as in the past. Grabbed a quick seat at a nearby picnic style table and people watched at the market. Maybe I'll check it out on my next visit to the market, maybe not. read more

this place was recommended to me multiple times, so i was super excited to try. we got there close to closing time, but was still able to get everything we wanted to try. there was an assortment of asian pastries, and they were all reasonably priced. they tasted authentic, and in the bbq pork buns, they did not skimp on the meat! i wish the green tea sesame ball had more green tea flavor, but it was still a tasty sweet treat. can't wait to come back ordred: bbq pork hom bow curry beef hom bow green tea sesame ball read more

Chinese bakery that serve pastry and drinks in the middle of tourists spot. I'm not sure on pricing, seem like they post 1 price and say another, just a few dollars off.

These yelp reviews are horrible! It's so hard to know who to trust bc taste is so relative. Service was bad food was mediocre and not worth it. I wouldn't mind if the food was good. $40 for 1 order of siu mai, 2 bbq pork buns, 1 shrimp dumpling and 1 chicken hom bow. Stars for siu mai and bbq buns, everything else including the attitude from the lady at the counter is not worth the hype. Tell the truth yelpers! Be honest about it. read more

Picked up two pork buns, 4 crab rangoons, and 4 shumai for $45?! The pork buns were gummy and too thick. The bread was too sweet and the filling was meh. The crab rangoons were worse. The stuffing has too much fake crab. The shumai was okay but I don't think I'd order again. Wow the mediocre dim sum we have in LA is like a magnitude better than this for a third of the price. Very surprised. read more

Within the market street, one of many food options. Someone recommended the BBQ pork bun - which was good but not great (the bread portion was the best part). Also tried the chive/chicken/shrimp dumpling.. which was fine but also not great. One other item tased like a mix of an italian cookie with sesame.. not a group favorite. Also was very challenging to find any seating close. Quick service, but wouldn't be my first choice to eat at in the market if I went back. read more

Food: BBQ Pork Bun & Pineapple Bun Price: $5.42 | $5.58 Overall: Quick eats food spot recommended from Tiktok! Their line was also crowded but quick with the service.

There is no seating area so be prepared to take it out and go! read more
