111. Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Saucebroccoli
Elisa N.

ROYAL KITCHEN @ BELLEVUE (crossroads) Parking is pretty tight here, especially on the weekends when it gets super busy. Luckily, we were able to find a spot right out front, so I'd recommend slowly circling around and keeping an eye out for people leaving. I found this spot through Yelp and had been really craving good Chinese food, so I was super excited to finally try it. My family and I came without a reservation and were seated immediately, even though the restaurant was very busy. This place is definitely known for larger parties, there were lots of families and extended families dining together, which really gave it a classic family-style vibe. You order a bunch of dishes and share a little bit of everything, which I love. The staff were really friendly and greeted us right away with complimentary tea. Fun fact: in the mornings, tea is sometimes an extra charge, but in the evening it's free. We ordered a few dishes, including the honey walnut shrimp (which is my go-to order at any Asian restaurant), salt and pepper squid, house special vermicelli noodles, and Chinese broccoli. The vermicelli was a clear noodle dish loaded with different proteins like BBQ pork, squid, and shrimp. Everything had great flavor, but my absolute favorite was definitely the honey walnut shrimp. It was perfectly crispy and delicious. My only complaint is the portion size for the price, it was about $21 for roughly 10 pieces of shrimp, which felt pretty expensive. Overall, the portions were on the smaller side for what you're paying. Toward the end of the meal, they treated us to a complimentary papaya soup, which was a light, fruit-based dessert soup and a really nice way to finish. Our total came out to about $80, so it's definitely on the pricier side for Chinese food. That said, the food was delicious, the service was great, and if you're in the Bellevue area, I'd still recommend stopping by.

CHECK your bill here!!!!!!!! We took our daughters from out of town for Sunday dim sum. Longtime family tradition!! And while we have often gone to the CID In Seattle, for many years and almost exclusively in recent years we have gone here and the previous business at the same location. I highly recommend this place and in my opinion the staff is usually always fantastic and they bring the food fast!! Today the service and food was fantastic and ordered so much it almost didn't fit on a 4 top table. We love leftover dim sum! But at the end of the meal they brought me the completed card with a total at the bottom. Didn't look beyond the total before tip and just gave the nice (very young) hostess my card. A server brought back just the two credit card slips and the price was seemingly $20 more than what was presented to me on the service card!?? I politely asked to see the bill again and then a longhgggh wait...... Then a heavily altered card was brought back showing the new total. I was not happy suddenly and asked why it was altered from the first one etc and a big argument from the server began that I didn't proliferate but she kept on and on and could not explain why all the changes by pen and saying that she was honest etc. insisting we "do the math" over and over Now we may have ordered that much food, but I know for a fact that the bill was clean written without alterations and $20 less than the corrected one. But still she couldn't give me a valid explanation for the changes and new total. In my opinion the high school age hostess made a mistake adding up before presenting the total to me and someone else edited it before running my card. If they had just admitted that I would not have been so disappointed. I don't believe that the staff here are dishonest and understand about mistakes but they did not handle it very diplomatically and it was a scene I didn't want to make. But I know that this was not the total presented to me for payment! Take a pic of your service card before sending the credit card to be run!!! It absolutely ruined our family outing and everyone was quiet in the car ride home. Not cool!!

Beef tripe
Vinh M.

Food here still hits! I went here with family the day before Christmas Eve in a group of 5 and got seated after a couple of minutes since all the larger-party tables were taken or being bussed at the time. Got the usual shrimp dumplings, siu mai, chicken feet, radish cakes, beef tripe, pork stomach, Chinese donut rice roll... pretty much the same things I got from a previous visit here. Only difference was the addition of fried calamari, which was tender, soft and piping hot when it came out. Service is still fast just as before despite the sheer number of people taking their PTO and coming here to eat. This place shares parking with Kin Dee, Cathay Bank and other businesses, and is not too far from Ramen Nori and Dan Gui. This is not my first visit here... it might even be my nth or so visit here (where n is larger than 10 since 2017) because of the number of times I've been in the Bellevue area with family. Better than Sun Sui Wah in terms of both prices and quality.

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.

Dim Sum items
Art C.

Nice dim sum place in the BelRed area that has free parking available. The service depends on the size of your party. Large group may have a long wait specially during the weekend lunch time. Service is fast as staff is focused on turning their tables expeditiously. The Shanghai dumplings were a little cold when brought to my table. Pre-order is required before the checked items are brought to your table. No dim sum carts. Will be back to try items from their regular menu as it has interesting options.

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

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.

Gloria N.

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.

Serena H.

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!
Truman W.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Bought two different porridge. The porridges are a little watery, not very dense so they might not be filling. Sampan porridge was really good. The shrimp was perfect. Plenty of fish and pork. The eggs was very limited. Preserved egg and pork tasted similar, the porridges are very light so it allows folks to add pepper. I personally like it lighter so it's great that it allows others for adjusting. The deep fried dough is great, perfectly made. Will probably buy it to go once in awhile. The rice rolls are really tasty! One of them was sold out, so I tried the beef pork shrimp roll. Would highly recommend Very clean and organized site. The staff are quick and efficient.

I hate giving negative reviews, but our dining experience at Lee's Kitchen is still making me laugh…read more- and not for good reasons. My friend and I decided to check out Lee's Kitchen when we got off the Overlake Station on the 2 Line, and I kid you not, we waited over an hour for our food. Lee's Kitchen is located in a business strip close to Microsoft, walking distance from the Overlake Station. There are plenty of places to eat around here and you should eat at those places if you're on a lunch break and need to get back to work because Lee's Kitchen is really on their own schedule. No shits given. We visited on a Wednesday afternoon around lunch time and were the only ones dining in for most of the time we were here. Most of the tables had not been cleared, so they must've had a rush of people before we visited. There's a QR code at the table where you can order and pay for your food. I ordered the braised pork belly with rice and shared the rice noodle roll with shrimp and beef with my friend. He ordered the wonton noodle soup, which took over an hour to get. My meal came out first and then eventually the rice noodle roll dish came. And then half an hour later after sitting there, the server comes by and tells my friend they ran out of bamboo noodles, which is what he requested for his dish. Over half an hour later, he received his food. Was it worth the wait? No. Sadly, I can't recommend Lee's Kitchen especially with how many more fantastic Chinese restaurants there are nearby. Service is lackluster with food that does not impress or would have me visit again. Not for me and it shouldn't be for anyone on a schedule.

The service is typical of dim sum restaurants; short staff, somewhat impolite, direct and pushy. Not ideal but consistent with an average level dim sum joint. The restaurant smells of a poorly cleaned and oily scent. Your olfactory sense gets numb to this after a few minutes. Lots of items came out cold; fried and baked items and the beef rice roll. The steamed items were barely warm. Made me think the food was cooked a while ago and they just grab food that is pre staged when people order it. The food quality was not as bad as dim sum at a all you can eat buffet but definitely bottom tier.

Lee's Kitchen in Factoria is the same restaurant as the OG located Overlake. This location is much…read moremore spacious vs Overlake. If you are near both locations, come here instead. Their most popular dishes are the rice rolls while everyone still complains about how long it takes to make stone pot rice dishes. In case anyone misses the fine print, it takes over 30 minutes. Another couple in the restaurant thought they forgot to make the dish and were yelling into the kitchen. The staff is friendly, though limited with their English. We ordered via the tablet at the front, and the food is brought out to us at the table. A rack on a wall has all the utensils and napkins, etc. Parking is plentiful. The Food: Shrimp Rice Rolls $11.99 - 4 Stars The rice rolls are still as good as I remember them. For some reason, it feels a bit out of balance this time. A lot of rice rolls, not a lot of shrimp. The sauce is fantastic and a must. Signature Beef Brisket Rice Rolls add Egg, $18.99+$1 - 4 Stars This is a beefy take on the rice roll. The added egg provided the yellow hue in the rice roll. Some brisket pieces are fattier. Their version is the traditional style with the chewy bit attached; some folks might hate it due to this. The sauce is also beefy. This is almost a soup, not in a bad way. Clear Soup Beef Offal with Daikon, $12.99 - 0 Stars This was a sad dish. When they say soup, they meant most broth, with few contents. The daikon wasn't tender. The offal and the soup didn't have much flavor. I rarely leave food behind, but I did for this dish. Garlic Fried Chicken Wings, $7.99 - 5 Stars The clear winner of the night were their wings. I believe four pieces of plump and fat wings, perfectly crispy and flavorful. I would order this again.

You're able to self serve your own water, seat yourself, and order from the table using a QR code. An introvert's dream so I definitely have to come dine in some time. My first time ordering from here, we got the Chinese sausage and bacon stone pot rice, stir fried rice noodles with XO sauce, and braised pork feet rice rolls. All were delicious but my favorite was the stone pot rice. Second time I ordered here, I got garlic chicken wings and fries. Loved it! The wings and fries tasted so fresh. Super crispy and juicy, flavorful. And they were super generous with the fries. There were tons and so yummy - crispy on the outside and soft and hot on the inside. Service is good too. Food is always ready when I arrive and the lady is very friendly.
