    Definitely a solid three stars. I think the thing that gets me is that restaurants like this one almost requires you to speak cantonese or you get a totally different experience. For example, there is definitely a dish here that's not in the menu but something if you have a good conversation you can get. Service is ok? Understaffed as usual and just lots of tables so when you go when it's busy expect service to be delayed. The food I think is decent. Probably a four stars on food but with everything else balances out at around 3 stars. The ambiance, well I think my watch triggered a noise warning so it's definitely not someplace that is quiet. Be prepared on a busy day to deal with a lot of different conversations and food coming in all different orders. I think we had food come in massive batches.

    Really yummy dim sum!! We came at a busy time but were able to get seated promptly and got our food quickly once ordered. Every dim sum dish was pretty good and it was nice and hot. I would recommend if you're looking to try dim sum.

    Seriously, I don't know what is up with the reviews on Yelp and Google for this restaurant. The food quality is great. We come here after Thanksgiving for a dim sum breakfast. Have never been disappointed in the service, food quality, or the menu selections.

    steamed whole black sea bass.  LOVED IT!

    Excellent Cantonese dinner here in the 'Irvine of Seattle'. Bok Choy with oyster mushroom was lightly seasoned and sautéed, very delicious. Seafood tofu clay pot was also a winner, with higher seafood-to-tofu ratio than other restaurants. The steamed whole fish (black sea bass), lightly sauced and perfectly flakey, was our favorite. Can't speak for other low ratings, you just need to know what to order. Our dishes were light in sauce but BIG in flavors.

    salt and black pepper calamari - barely had seasoning. flavorless.

    The service here was extremely disappointing. The servers were rude and unprofessional from the start, no greeting, just handed us a paper to mark down our order. And I specifically asked for no pork, yet the shrimp rolls still had bits of pork in them, which was very frustrating and felt careless. The food itself was just okay and the atmosphere didn't feel very clean and overall everything was below average. To make things worse, it took about 10 minutes before anyone came over when we were ready to check out, only to find out we had to pay at the front (something no one mentioned). Definitely not a place I'd return to.

    Sweet & sour spare ribs, pork & shrimp fried rice and spring rolls. This is after already have two plates full.

    Delicious! Order on Christmas the sweet & sour spare ribs, pork & shrimp fried rice, and spring rolls. Food was ready in about 15 minutes for pickup. When I arrived, the place was very busy but I was greeted with a warm welcome and my order was ready.

    Yummy Cantonese food at a great price. Flavors were a little salty but good. Had some dim sum too and that was good. The service was really friendly, especially for Chinese restaurant, the server was so friendly to our kids and reminded us they had free green bean dessert. The atmosphere is basic but nice for Chinese spot. Restaurant is a chain from Vancouver so has good reputation.

    When you can speak the language, you're treated like royalty. But be patient if English is your preferred language - the staff tries hard to answer your questions. The food is awesome though

    Really fast service, 15-20 min for our 5 takeout dishes. Nice lady at the front. A little skimpy on the protein on some of the dishes, but also big portions and cheaper than some other places. Flavors on point, although could be a touch more flavorful for some dishes.

    Great family friendly spot Lots of parking Very cleanly Still impressed with all their family style dishes

    Egg rolls, walnut shrimp, jasmine tea, and soy sauce chow mein

    My son and I were walk-in customers at 11:15am on a Saturday, the weekend before Christmas. Only a ten minute wait. The place was very busy. Got a pot of jasmine tea which arrived within 2 minutes of asking. We ordered seven different types of dim sum choices, and we didn't have to wait long at all for the dishes to arrive. Our favorites were the pork dumplings sui mai, the chicken feet with black bean sauce, and the egg rolls. Everyone we encountered was friendly with a smile, and helpful even with our language barrier. We had plenty of leftovers to take home for dinner later. The food here is consistently delicious. I've been here a few times now. It's fun to experiment with ordering different dim sum choices each time, but the sui mai is a must always.

    When is dim sum available? Weekends only? All week?

    I know it's been a couple years since this question was posted, but they have a limited dimsum menu in the after hours. Mainly steamable items like shumai, chicken feet, lobak goh. Other than that, they have dimsum available every day.

    Too Gun is probably my favorite dim sum place I've tried so far in Wa (I'm picky and have been…read morespoiled by dim sum in Las Vegas, New York and SF) I've tried so many dim sum places in this state and many missed their mark but this place has very good quality dim sum! My mom and I went in right at opening time in a weekday and were both pleasant surprised by the quality of the dishes. My favorite dish (chewing fun/shrimp rice noodle roll) was very fresh. I also loved the duck and the baked goods including pineapple bun (I usually don't like the custard once but this one was not as gooey as it usually is) and bbq bun - the bread was sooooooo soft. The fact it was already so busy at opening time on a weekday really says a lot! I'm sure it's pretty crazy during the weekends... My small nitpick would be the service and ordering. You order through your phone using a QR code but the reception was really bad for me and they don't have WiFi for guests. We were able to put in an order with a waiter but that took a while. The food is worth it tho!

    We want to love this place, but the quality of food has gone way down…read more Lots of staff from our former Bellevue dim sum fave that closed- on 140th Don't love the QR code table side order, miss the carts, end up ordering the wrong thing half the time Best things to order: sticky rice, crispy shrimp, footballs

    We recently dined here with a party of 8, and it was a wonderful experience overall. What impressed…read moreus right away was that we called and made a reservation only 15 minutes before arriving on a Saturday, and the restaurant was still able to accommodate us in a private dining room. That made the evening feel extra special and comfortable for our group. We ordered a variety of dishes, and our favorites were definitely the Mongolian Beef, Shrimp Dumplings, Hot Seafood Noodle Soup, and Kung Pao Prawns- all were flavorful, well-prepared, and highly recommended. The Garlic Crispy Chicken and Singapore Noodles were also good. The only dish that didn't stand out to us was the Chicken Fried Rice, which was our least favorite of the meal. The service was excellent from start to finish. A special shoutout to the host, who was incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive throughout our visit. Parking was convenient as well, with a nearby garage offering the first 3 hours free. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the pricing felt a bit on the higher side, especially considering the portion sizes seemed smaller compared to other Chinese restaurants we've visited. Overall, a great dining experience with delicious food, outstanding hospitality, and excellent accommodation for large groups.

    Just visited for a quick meal on Friday night with 2 other girlfriends. It was my first time and…read morethere was some hits and misses. Service: Kind server, was a little surprised that none of the staff there was of Asian descent which threw me off a bit TBH. As a restaurant that touts itself as the "best Chinese food in Bellevue" I would've expected some more Asian representation throughout. Food: Started with shrimp dumping dim sum. Good quality but not sure 4 small dumplings are worth $12? The main star of dinner was the Beef Short Rib. It is presented in a sizzling cast iron pot with the entire bone sticking out. It was tender and caramelized from the heat of the bowl, really good. It does feel like the $48 price point could have necessitated cut carrots vs. packaged baby carrots but the dish overall was yummy. Crispy Pork Belly was just fried pieces of pork belly without much flavor and very fatty. Garlic Green Beans were standard and good. Singapore Noodles had good flavor but something was off - not sure if the rice noodle texture was overcooked or the curry hit needed to be punched up. Atmosphere: Gorgeous decor and the restaurant is huge - it started to fill up as the night went on. Overall it was just fine. I've had way better Chinese food in Bellevue and with Dough Zone across the street and Monsoon next door (not Chinese food but in the Asian family), I'd probably go with other options on Main Street.
