Their dim sum looks amazing and tastes even better. They also have some unique items I've never seen at other dim sum spots. I'll definitely be coming back. Great food quality and surprisingly affordable compared to other dim sum places. read more

Heng Huang, our server was fantastic. He helped us with selecting the dishes we should try. Most of what we ordered were good, the cucumber, herbal chicken soup, steamed rock fish, the black pepper wagyu beef and the water spinach were very good, especially the steamed fish (very fresh). The crispy pork was not as crispy as it could be. The sweet and sour pork was a little bit disappointing. It did not have a lot of flavor. Lastly, the venue was very nice. We will be back to try other dishes. read more

Perhaps I had too high of an expectation from the looks off its interior or the location used to be a well known dim sum place in Vancouver, it was a big disappointment. The food range from mediocre at best to quite bad. The soup dumplings came in aluminum foil cups (?!) and half of them were already split open with no soup inside. The sit fried noodles were blend and frankly I could have done it better. The only dish that was memorable was the egg tart. It was freshly baked with a perfect flaky crust. Not only was the food forgettable, it was also expensive. Came out to be $145 for the four of us. I wish the new owner good luck and I will not be coming back. read more

The service is quite slow. The stuffed eggplants tasted a bit off. We also ordered the wrapped chicken sticky rice but found Chinese sausage inside. The expectation is that a chicken dish should just be chicken meat and not mixed with other meat. Other dimsum dishes tasted just ok. read more

We liked the food and service here! The food was tasty and the service was over the top. The soup dumpling was our favorite one. There was lots of scrumptious soup and meat. read more

Sum Yee Kae - Very nice Red Bean Handbag Pastry! We like the taste and shape! - Dim Sum Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Went there again to give a try on dinner. The restaurant smelled greasy like a kitchen, and the waiter argued with me that there were absolutely no problem as they just passed health inspection. Well, I didn't want to debate and just left. I didn't lower their rating, although i probably should. read more

Relatively authentic Hong Kong taste on the Eastside. A bit pricey, yet genuinely satisfying. My kids love the cute bear‑bear lemon iced tea, and the milk tea is excellent too read more

Call me impressed. Food is actually seasoned well. Decor inside is easy on the eyes. Will be coming back here. Minus one star for them running out of items before 1 PM. read more

Great food! Fresh and delicious Cantonese food. The Typhoon Shelter Lobster is crispy and tasty, perfectly fried read more

Service was slightly better than my previous visit, but unfortunately the food still doesn't justify the price. Overall quality was mediocre and portions were quite small for what you're paying. The pork shu mai in particular was disappointing--dense, bready, and lacking flavor. Many of the dishes felt heavy on carbs with little substance. Not terrible, but overpriced for what amounts to average dim sum at best. read more

I enjoyed my dim sum birthday lunch at Sum Yee Kae. Not your usual food on the cart place as everything was ordered online and the food was brought to the table. Most of the items we ordered were delicious. I especially loved the lemon tea with the ice-shaped bear. The restaurant was very clean, great lighting and tall ceilings. I would love to come back and try their dinner menu! read more

Love the service here! Dim sum is firee and honestly worth every penny! It does get super busy here during lunch, i would definitely recommend calling ahead and getting a reservation for dinner.

poor service, just bring food and put on table without asking do we want it or not, seatting down for 15min and no server show up to the table, its unexceptable and wierd restaurant i never been. read more

Other Dim Sum places have smaller portion sizes, but this place has much bigger portions and was pretty cheap. 10 dishes were about $80. The taste is also good! I've had Dim sum a few times in San Francisco, which is known for it's Cantonese cuisine. It is pretty onpar with dim sum places there, but also cheaper! Great find. read more

Delicious food and excellent service! I ordered roasted duck, beef cube and broccoli.

I had really high hopes for this place and I really want it to like it. Some positives first though. I do like the iPad ordering system, it makes it easy to look at pictures of what you want without waiting for a dim sum cart to go around. The decoration reminds me of an Asian wedding dining hall. The service was a mixed bag. The server was putting things on our table a little bit harshly so sauce would splatter all over the table. Otherwise we didn't have too many complaints. Now for the disappointing stuff. There were no condiments and sauces on the table. Which is unfortunate because a lot of the dishes we had could have used a little extra flavor. The xiu mai appeared to have been cooking or sitting in the warmer a bit too long. They were a bit dried out and the shrimp on top was a bit shriveled up. On the opposite end of the spectrum, our tripe and our rice rolls could have used more time In the steamer. The tripe wasn't tender and the rice rolls were still a bit hard and had that undercooked rice paper texture. The shrimp paste with the crab maw was quite bland so the missing condiments on the table could have helped the dish liven up a bit. The fried shrimp paste with crab claw was decent though. I was excited to try the braised beef short ribs, but my excitement died down once I saw the ribs were mostly fat. The swan and durian pastries were the best things we had but we probably won't come back here just for those two things. I really wanted to like this place but I left with full of regret :( read more

Heng is the Great Waiter，Very professional，He is the best person I have ever met.

This is my first time visiting this restaurant. The food is good, but the service is one of the worst I have experienced. The male waiter (the oldest one with glasses) and waitress wear all-black uniform and glasses are coughing without wearing masks. They are coughing next to us! Also, they also never came to check your table and refill tea when it's empty! read more

Good service and environment! Love the tea! The waiter CK has been really enthusiastic and friendly read more

I have eaten here several times and I have never been disappointed. Discovering this restaurant about a year ago the menu has been evolving into a more "authentic" Cantonese menu. The food has always been good to excellent quality and the service is always good. The old paper menus are gone and an electronic menu has replaced the paper one but sadly, it was not working on our visit. The excellent wait staff worked it out and we had a great time and a wonderful dining experience. The setting is slightly upscale but not formal. Most tables will seat up to 8 easily and large groups can be accommodated. I recommend ordering and eating "family style" for the best dining experience. read more

Great food and service, good environment too. Bellevue to-go Cantonese restaurant for sure. Reasonably priced, staff are friendly. read more

First time trying the rebranded version of this restaurant. Was quite pleased that the food and service has been improved (not that the previous restaurant in this spot was bad, we liked it and dined there several times). This visit was dinner. We had 2 appetizers/cold dishes: crushed cucumbers - a very subtle version of this dish, savory and ever so slightly spicy. Dry bean curd - more in your face flavor bomb, spicy and full umami. Subtlety of the cucumber hard to taste after this dish. 1 veggie: Peavines & mushrooms in broth - super flavorful greens cooked in chicken broth (not sure if they can make this version vegetarian). The best version of this dish that I've had in a while (in the Puget Sound) 1 noodle - Shanghai style noodles with seafood (I think). This one was ordered in Chinese with recommendation from our server. Whatever it was exactly may be a slight mystery... noodles seemed slightly yellow-curried, shrimp, egg, some cured pork, bell peppers. Whatever it's exactly called... it was exactly tasty. Huge portion that will probably cover us for lunch for a day or two. 2 meats - Thinly sliced roast duck with cucumbers in stock/sauce. This was a comp'ed dish from the kitchen. We didn't order it but appreciated it. Well roasted duck, not the BBQ duck, more like braised texture or oven roasted at a lower temp to fully cook the meat... I don't exactly know, but enjoyable. Had a bit of that duck funk that comes when the skin fat isn't fully rendered. Soy Sauce Chicken 1/2 order - this is like Hainan Chicken, but with a rosy bronzed skin from the chicken being seasoned with soy sauce before cooking. Really delicious and satisfying. Plenty for 2 people, especially with everything else we ordered. Finally, 1 dessert Sesame Balls - freshly made, hot at the table, exactly what you expect when that treat is exactly right. They had not been sitting around all dim sum service waiting for us to order them. Took some time to come out because they were made to order. Dig that! So yeah, we liked this new version of that other place. :) my partner had a long pleasant conversation with the server who closed out our tab. Friendly courteous service all around. Looking forward to going back to try Dim Sum soon. read more

Rebranded dim sum spot in Bellevue that comes off very high class looking. It is rebranded from the prior restaurant and has been open for 2 days now (soft open), and the same owners as prior. Service was very good, and currently the promotion being offered is free soup dumplings for tables of 4 or less (dine in only). The food for the price was not exactly to par with expectations. The Pan-Fried Daikon Cake with Chinese Sausage was very disappointing with Chinese sausage pretty much not present (see photos for spec of sausage diced up and hardly visible). For the price, the portion of pork belly was not satisfactory. The taste was just okay, but the skin was crispy and delicious. The chili oil here is high quality and adds a nice kick to each dish. The best thing we had was the sticky rice. There's a good meat to rice ratio, and even salted egg yolk. Not exactly what we expected consistency wise as it was not very sticky, but the flavor was top notch. The teddy bear milk tea was very cute, but not sweet at all and quite bitter in fact. This restaurant is not somewhere we will be itching to visit again in the near future, but is a nice option for dimsum without having to drive all the way to Seattle. read more

Need to be alerted when you pay the bill. The lady will get a machine with different type of percentage of tips. When you are still thinking how much tips should be given, she will ask you just to sign without your waiting you to push the tips button. You feel sorry not giving the tips ?! You're wrong. if you ask for the copy, she will give you the receipt with 25% tips given that you may not be willing to ! When you ask why ?! She says after you sign it, the machine automatically assigned the 25% tips with the bill . Just wonder what it Is !! read more

This restaurant was such an odd experience. We didn't know dim sum service stopped at a certain time which was the first disappointment. We told the server we had never been there before and asked him to explain the ordering process/if everything was served family style and he did not seem to want to . Once we figured it out on our own we ordered with him and we asked a few follow up questions about the menu and he told us that the crab was $88 a pound which didn't seem correct . The dishes we ordered came out every 10-15 minutes and everything was cold . Then they tried to serve us a plate of fried fish carcass which we didn't order . The server never came back to check on us and we desperately needed water . He avoided eye contact and we felt very unwelcome . I don't think the cold food was worth all the trouble we went through . When it was time to pay he had put the entire order on one tab that we had started through the QR code which was not what we wanted . So bizarre would never go back . read more

The food was extremely good And the service was even better I love this place I'm looking forward coming back soon Thank you so much read more

Best service ever and warm friendly waiters. New restaurant in Bellevue. Good lighting.

Very disorganized service. Ordered dim sum at the opening. Servers kept serving food to tables that showed up 30-40 minutes AFTER we ordered. We had to chase down the server to get our order. We also cancelled one of our items because they never served it to us. The char-siu bao was also had very little filling. For all the hype, this was a very disappointing visit. read more

Came here for their soft opening and was honestly impressed. The dim sum was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care especially the shrimp dumplings and roasted duck. Everything came out hot and well-timed. Service was friendly and attentive without being rushed, and the restaurant felt clean and welcoming. Definitely one of the better dim sum spots in the area. Will be back again soon! read more

The food was ok, but they have no wait staff you order on a device, which does not include beer and win2, so you have to flag people down. The taro ball is my fav dim sum the menu said sold out, but as I finished my meal the table next Tous got an order. We will not be back. They also use fake crab when they have crab in thier tanks!!! read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Sum Yee Kae! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend it!

It's a homey place with prompt and friendly service. It was good but thought it was expensive for quality and selection. Wish there were more vegetable and noodle options as well as sweets like egg tarts read more

Food was good. Awesome service and good price as well. I will be back next time. Overall, it is a good experience for us.

The service was terrible. It was very difficult to get the servers' attention or they pretended not seeing you. The food came very slow. The cheong fun was barely warm and thick as flat noodles. Other dim sum we ordered were not very warm either. The traditional dim sum are served from steam carts that you can see the steams when the dim sum are placed in front of you. Overalls, it was overpriced for the quality and service. We were very disappointed. read more

Food is really good. I can eat in this restaurant every single day. Service is a absolutely good
