A triumph itself in Renton, Triumph Valley has boasted versatility throughout the years since it's opening. From ramen, to hot pot, large parties and of course a traditional menu. But for those in the know, Triumph Valley is really known for their dim sum menu! Off the beaten path, you have to take State Highway 167, as its just south of the large IKEA store. But definitely a culinary landmark if you are a constant diner of Chinese cuisine, and dim sum afficianado. There are only three dim sum, or dumpling lunch providers in or around the City of Renton (technically two). This is one of them, and if you are not early, it can get really crowded, especially on weekends. But the staff bravely soldiers-on with their dilligent service. The restaurant's ambiance takes advantage of its interior with strategic lighting in their dining hall. Very utilitarian, while trying to ensure a little bit of style. They also modernize the experience with electronic waiting and ordering system on portable touch screens. It actually helps the service. No paper. As for me, my focus is on the dim sum. All of my favorites are there. And, as diner of one, it was hard not to want to order everything. So, I ordered the "basics" of a dim sum lunch. One order of Shiu Mai, one order of Har Gow, and one order steamed BBQ Pork. It was pretty much all you need along with an order of tea, as well as a Diet Coke to wash it all down. There were other traditional dim sum selections, but I knew my tummy (and wallet) wouldn't absorb it all - as much as I would have liked. Steamed beancurd sheets, beef meatballs, steamed sticky rice in banana leaves... chicken feet, it was all there. The best way is to make a plan, and invite lots of freinds to make sure you can try EVERYTHING! Yes, there are other menu items, like I said, but for Dim Sum dining in Renton, this is the place!!!! See you at Triumph Valley. read more

Came here on a Sunday after hiking right when they are open. Seated right away and ordered using their tablet. Idk but it felt like while they are decent and priced w little higher, it tasted ok at best. I also acknowledge that they are the only one around unless you are willing to travel farther to CID or downsouth. read more

The food itself is high quality. The best pan-fried noodles I've had in a long time (aka chow mein, choose the crispy option). Dim sum is some of the best in the Seattle area. But they lose 3 stars from me because they use some kind of industrial strength cleaning chemical to wipe down the tables. Hard to enjoy your meal when all you can smell is the same chemical they use to mop the floors at QFC and in my apartment building. Seriously terrible chemical smell while you eat. If they are using a spray bottle to clean at the next table, you'll get a cloud of harsh cleaning chemical up your nostrils while you eat. I've had to rinse off and wiped down my own table with a napkin dampened with tea or water in order to enjoy my meal. When I mentioned this to staff, they were dismissive and haven't changed a thing in over a year when I first brought it to their attention. They should only be using something like quat sanitizer, that doesn't smell, to clean the tables. NOT something that is used for floors or bathrooms. and on a side note: if you decide to mop underneath another table while people are dining next to it, please say "excuse me" or just wait. Instead of almost hitting people in the head with a mop handle without saying a word. Also not great for a dining experience. I have worked in restaurants and F&B management. I know something about these things. You shouldn't use anything on a table for diners that you wouldn't use on a food preparation surface. How many times has a dumpling got away from you and bounced around on the table and you snag it and consume it, because you assume the table isn't being cleaned with floor cleaner? If you agree with me, please say something to the staff, and maybe they'll eventually listen. This is a real shame. The food quality is quite good. Probably best dim sum in South King County. I might just do take-out from now on. There are other high quality Chinese and Asian dining options, that's the bright side of living in this area. But if I'm doing takeout, I might as well just go to Dim Sum House on Beacon Hill (much more reasonable prices and good quality). read more

I LOVE love LOVE Triumph Valley!! genuinely love at first bite. This is my go to spot for dim sum and it never disappoints. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and just hits every time. So many seats inside but Just a heads up: come early or be ready to wait, because this place is always packed. It's busy, a little chaotic, but 100% worth it. There's 20 Chinese aunties running around so please come with an open mind. No matter how long the wait gets, I'll always make time for my bookie pookie. read more

Triumph Valley - Shanghai Soup Dumplings (Pork) (4Pc) 上海小笼汤包(猪肉灌汤）（4Pc) - Dim Sum Near Me - Renton, Washington

I love a good dim sum and my girlfriend told me this was the new spot everyone went to in Seattle. They offer a lot of the classics but also have some seafood specialties since we are in the PNW. I thought a lot of the dishes were decent, but not amazing. My personal favorites were the siu mai with truffle and the fried oysters served with a wasabi mayo. They do get very busy on the weekends and food can take a while so definitely plan ahead. Decent dim sum spot but there are betters in the area. read more

Unfortunately, this will be our last visit to Triumph Valley. My party ordered quite a bit of food and most of it was actually very good. We had no complaints about the majority of the dishes, the ambiance was ok and were enjoying our meal. However, one of the items we ordered, the ribs, tasted like they were not cooked properly and were extremely underdone. We politely brought this to the staff's attention thinking it would be an easy fix. Instead of trying to make it right, we were told "we can't take it off after it was ordered." That response was pretty shocking considering the issue was with the quality of the food itself. For context, we come here fairly often, I have bought my staff in several times and we always tip 20% or more. As someone who dines out frequently and writes a lot of reviews, food is obviously important but customer service is equally more important, especially these days. A simple effort to address the issue would have gone a long way. Instead, the situation was handled in a way that made us feel completely dismissed as customers. Because of that experience, I unfortunately wouldn't be able to recommend this restaurant. There are several other great options in the area that value both the food and the guest experience. As always, if anyone is looking for similar spots nearby, feel free to message me. read more

Solid, not spectacular, responsive service. Went with a larger party at opening on a Saturday. Ordered turnip cakes, stuffed eggplant, hum bao, garlic green beans, sticky rice, soy sauce noodles. Good execution, quick and hot food. read more

The servers here were really nice, we requested a round table because the hot pot long tables were uncomfortable for our tall people (knees hit the hot pot unit), and they moved us to one. The food was also delicious and the servings kind of large. They only do orders, not dim sum carts. My favorite dishes were the radish cake and deep fried taro buns, though honestly not a bad dish in our 12 dish order. The place itself was kind of funny, very clearly previously an American bar and restaurant. Still, pretty roomy! I appreciate how much parking there is. read more

Gone here a couple times with family. Both times, staff were extremely rude and dismissive. Food quality IMO is not that great. Will not be going back. read more

Good dim sum option in the area. It is a bit on the pricier side, but there is not much that compares unless you are willing to go further north or east. The truffle siu mai are a standout, and I love their crispy rolls. The chicken feet and all the classic dim sum staples are solid. You really cannot go wrong with the menu. It can get busy and there is often a long wait, so I recommend going early or making a reservation. read more

Chinese restaurant in Renton in its own building with a good sized parking lot. Serves Cantonese, Sichuan, and even hotpot. Went there for dimsum lunch on the weekend, and the place was busy. Half hour wait for a table for 4. Pretty big restaurant that's divided into at least 2 wings. The decor is kind of interesting, can't really put a theme on it. For dimsum, you don't get the choice of tea, they just give you the standard one. Ordering is done via tablet. They have a decent selection of traditional items and a few of their own specialties. Items were served pretty quickly. Out of the bunch, all the traditional items like shiu mai, chicken feet, steamed rib bits etc. were decent. The water chestnut cake was actually very good, as was the green roll with fried shrimp inside. The BBQ pork pastry was not that great, too floury and not flakey enough. My group also ordered stir fried duck tongue which was okay, but pretty pricey ($30) for the amount of meat. The dimsum items are mostly $7 each so pretty reasonable. Overall bill for 4 was $130 including tips. One of the better dimsum places I've been to in Puget Sound, but not quite the level what you can get in Richmond/Vancouver. read more

Honestly this is a very solid spot. Big menu offerings for dim sum, good amount of parking, and friendly staff. Interior design is kinda odd. Not bad or good. Just odd. Some of the seats are shaped like bird cages. It's kinda comical to sit in it and feel... like a bird? Food wise, I still think Diamond Bay is better, but this is certainly better all of the other dim sum offerings on the eastside. Apparently they have two stores, and the one in Renton is better than the one up north. I'd be curious how different they are for people to have that conclusion. read more

This place was okay. The service was just okay. Honestly, I've had a lot better for cheaper prices. We did love the egg plant though and the siu mai. We'd come back for that. I didn't care for the salt and pepper wings and usually you could not go wrong with those. The wings were TINY and feel like the portions were just not up to par with the price. The chicken had a weird after taste that we didn't like as well. Everything else seemed okay too. The cake noodles was my partners favorite, I thought it was okay. We did not like the fried taro shrimp dumplings because it wasn't crispy enough for us. The shrimp egg rolls were alright. Price wise, it wasn't worth it to us. It does look really good but when you eat it, it doesn't taste like anything too special. The service was okay, it took awhile for them to get our food and, we weren't welcomed in, and it took awhile long time for our bill to come as well. read more

With the exception of the fried rice, the other 4 dishes we ordered seemed to be cooked in the same exact, salty, just okay-ish brown sauce. Bonus, it was cooked in some of the dirtiest, most burnt oil I have seen in years. We chose this place based on the Yelp reviews. So, we either came on the wrong day (Friday dinner time), or we just have higher expectations of good Chinese restaurant food. The service was fine. Either way, we're unwilling to try it again. read more

Haven't had dim sum in awhile when we were trying to figure out where to celebrate my dad's birthday my brother suggested Triumph a favorite of his and his wife. We know the lines can get long so we arrived a little before 10am on a Sunday. Once the doors open we were seated quickly. You order from a pad which makes things easy. Since there were six of us we doubled up on a few items. Large well lit space with lots of parking. We were seated at an 8 top which allowed lots of space. read more

First time visit to Triumph Valley and dim sum was quite tasty! Ordered har gow, siu mai, beef balls, bean curd rolls, bbq pastry buns, soy sauce chow main, soup dumplings, preserved egg and pork congee, chicken feet, stir fried rice roll with xo sauce, pork with crab seaweed roll. My least favorite was the last entree. Everything was tasty, very fresh. Order the food from an iPad. Service was very prompt. Looking forward to going back. read more

After hearing all the hype from my neighbor, The Seattle Times, and then their expansion to Shoreline, I finally made it down here. We came early on a weekend and beat the rush though the restaurant was quickly becoming more and more busy. The food was good but not worth the hype or extra effort. It leaned towards the greasier side with the fried shrimp egg roll being the best item that actually was the least greasy one! My neighbor said to avoid pork items cuz those tended to be more gamey. The place isn't the cleanest and seems to have converted an old Korean BBQ place over because the table we were at had an old grill in the middle so your legs had to stay pretty tucked in when eating. read more

Every time I am in town, I have to have dimsum here! We were seven and were seated immediately, which is unheard of here. My family comes here often and there's always a wait. I tried calling for a reservation but the phone number wasn't working. There's a waitlist you can add yourself to here but thankfully we didn't even need that! We ordered everything - string beans, taro dumpling, beef and shrimp long noodles, har gow, the har gow with chives, pork ribs, (taro cake, radish cake, and a bunch of other things I can't remember which all have gluten). Everything was great! If you need to eat gluten free, you need to tell them to remove the sauces on the long noodles. The har gows are gluten free and so are the ribs. There's a ton of stuff not gf here but I have never gotten sick. They are friendly here and super fast. You order everything yourself on a tablet. I'll definitely be back again. read more

- So good but so far - We heard about this place from our friends and I've been here 5 times. There is always a long wait since they are so good and popular, but we came at 2 pm today on a Saturday and the four of us got seats right away. Here are the things we ordered: 1. Purple yam mochi with lava egg custard 2. Pork & shrimp siu Mai 3. Chicken feet in sauce 4. Sticky rice in lotus wrap 5. Stuffed eggplant w/shrimp 6. Black bun king with matcha lava custard 7. Hk rice roll with special peanut sauce 8. Green beans with hk style pickle 9. Salt & pepper tofu. I highly recommend 1 and 8. 1 is their specialty that I haven't found elsewhere, and it's a good balance of custard and purple yam, but the outer shell could be a bit oily. Their green beans are nice and crunchy. The other stuff is standard and harder to mess up, though my mil said the salt and pepper tofu was more firm (they usually use silk tofu). Regardless, my husband finished it all. Btw, the black bun is just custard bun since you could barely taste any matcha at all. The only thing that I'm not a fan of is the rice roll with peanut sauce ... It's just too much sauce for me. If the wait is not bad most of the time, I'd give it a five star. You have to allocate your time accordingly since sometimes you can end up waiting 1-2 hours here due to its popularity. However, the taste and affordable price is still much better than the dim sum places in Bellevue. read more

Came here for dim sum. For dim sum it's a good choice ! Lots of great options. You can also order lunch/dinner items during dim sum time as well. Our waiter was nice and the restaurant itself was clean. We ordered shrimp dumplings , chow mein , football , shu mai , taro cakes , pork soup dumplings, shrimp rice rolls, bbq pork buns , sesame balls and of course egg tarts. The egg tarts were also bigger than other places and the crust was buttery and flakey. The sesame balls were also huge and nicely filled. Everything else was so yummy. The price is not bad. Not the most expensive dim sum but also not the cheapest. However I think the food is worth the price for sure. It will be busy on weekends so make sure to account for that. read more

Dim Sum with the girls! Popular venue on a Sunday. Open with many tables. Well organized and good service. Love the ability to order on a tablet. Highlights. Baled BbBq pork buns with pineapple top.

We came here because we were craving dim sum and this hit the spot. This is located in Renton and has a large parking lot. The restaurant has ample seating and was able to accommodate our large party of 8 quickly. The food itself for the most part was great. Their ordering system is through an iPad and they bring the food out to you. The only issue that we really had was that in the egg flower soup, we literally spit out two pieces of eggshell from different bowls. I mean hey at least you know it's fresh eggs but do a better job of cracking them. We ordered a lot including: salt and pepper squid (a fan favorite - it looks bland but nicely flavored), shrimp and chive dumplings (so plump and juicy, soup dumplings (these were just OK, the soup and dumpling itself were kind of bland imo), tripe (nice portion and flavorful), pork spareribs (my first time trying but really juicy and tender), Mongolian beef (flavorful but even their mild was a tad spicy for us), roast duck (another favorite - crispy skin and juicy duck), beef chow fun (nothing special but I was a fan of the portion size) The service itself was below average. We hardly had anyone come to check on us and when we told them it was our first time there, we didn't really get any orientation or help ordering. The staff wasn't really friendly but the food made up for it. Also, an 18% tip is automatically included with parties 5+. Overall we would come back again in hopes of not accidentally swallowing eggshells (especially that we had a child in our party). read more

I really enjoy their food! It's a nice spot to go to in Renton if you're craving dim sum and don't want to go to the International District. Lines do start to get long though right before open time so I would recommend coming earlier to ensure getting a table without wait for 2+ hours! The service is good, they are very fast with the food and are very nice people. read more

Thianolace has plenty if parking and the service well they just bring out the food but brought water and tea fairly quick. There is not much service but it is a busy place for lunch on a Friday. While we were walking out they told someone in the phone they are booked ni reservations for Saturday or Sunday. The portions and size of Haw gow and sui Mai are larger than most places. I loved when it was hot and fresh when you get the food. The only thing not hot was lo bok go. Turnip cake. The beef chow fun was yummy but I felt that the portion has changed since looking at the you tube videos. Kind of over price for 20.00. I would come back and try the hot pot. You will find a big menu with lots of options. The hom Sui gok look like a tangelo shape. So if you can read Chinese don't look for the football shape. read more

Someone in our party had heard good things about this place so we decided to check it out for lunch. It's a large stand-alone restaurant with lots of parking. Inside there is a cute little game area and a large banquet room. Beyond that it is the main seating areas. I think it is quite unique that it serves both din sum and hot pot and the menu is very extensive with some unusual items. There is an iPad in which you can view the menu and place your order; the only thing missing is the ability to pay on it. As I've come to expect for dim sum, service was efficient and everything came out quickly, and the portion size as well as the actual size of the dim sum pieces were larger than I'm used to. But of course not a bad thing, especially for the price and there was lots of leftovers to take home. We ordered a lot so I won't detail each one, but overall I enjoyed my experience and would return. read more

Triumph Valley - Dim Sum Near Me - Renton, Washington

C'mon Renton! Stop giving 5-Stars to restaurants that SUX! First off the place is like a maze inside and in much need of a deep cleaning. The decor is left over from the '70's. To match, they blast muffled bad '70's music. The place has an awkward vibe. There is no real serving staff. No one to check on you. Instead you have to "request" for someone to come out from the back by using a tablet menu. Assuming if they come out. When they do come out they are rude and don't really want to serve you. The food took forever and there was hardly anyone in the place. When the food started to come out instead of bringing it straight to our table the server decided to have a 10-15 casual conversation with another staff member while holding our food. The food was tasteless and bland. No flavor whatsoever so ever. The Chow Main was just under cooked noodles with no flavor nor toppings. The Sesame Balls were over cooked and hard. We will NOT be coming to this place again! read more

Dim sum was so good with some special house items like the crispy shrimp roll and mochi with salted egg yolk. Those two dishes were the star of the day. The other items were solid as well. I liked the shrimp rice Rolls and fried shrimp balls! Can you tell I really like shrimp? We walked in and signed up for the yelp waitlist on the iPad. I came in at 2:10pm and it was after the rush but there were still some people waiting jn the lobby. You'll get a text when the able is ready and they'll call it out as well. I was worried that some items would be out since I came late but I was able to order everything I wanted. My table had an iPad and I was able to put my order in directly to the kitchen. Super cool and efficient! 10/10 would recommend :) read more

Pretty good dim sum! I feel like my standards for dim sum are high having grown up in SF and lived in Chinatown for a handful of years with my grandma. Sui mai is good, cherng fun is good and the chicken feet are hella tender. The satay tripe is OK, a bit sweet and portions for the tripe are on the smaller side compared to the Bay Area. The egg tart exceeded my expectations and is likely one of the best I've had. Very flaky, perfectly sweet, and the egg custard is a tiny bit on the watery side. Missing the traditional dim sum carts as they have an iPad you can order from but there's pros and cons. Overall, would come back and prices were fair! ~10 dishes for $87 read more

I'm told finding really good dim sum around Seattle is a big challenge. Kind of surprising. We arrived around 3:00 on Sunday, so we weren't surprised by the lack of people. The staff were quick to get to us and explain the process. The dim sum was so good. A bit greasy, but tasty. They also make a mean shrimp dumpling and roast duck. Again, the waitstaff is available and efficient. The atmosphere was very comforting, too. They have a large menu and an interesting order by tablet system. Old boomers like me aren't quite used to this technology, but it worked out. If we make it back here, I want to try the Lamb Shoulder hotpot. We found the prices to be very reasonable, so much so, we're trying to back here next weekend with friends. 05/25 read more

This location has a more extensive menu than the Shoreline location. I really liked their fried durian balls. The siu mai and the shrimp dumplings are executed ok, wish there was some more texture like water chestnuts. Lots of parking. Service was quick and there were lots of tables, but they were also filled really quickly. So glad I was there 30 min before opening. They did let me claim a table without my whole group present. read more

Interior of the restaurant had some nice aspects, love the umbrella decorations on the wall, we waited around 15 minutes to get seated and that's understandable for a busy day but the time it took for the food to come was way too long, prices of the food is good and the proportions of the food besides the beef chow fun. I'm upset that when I asked for vinegar and water they only gave us 2 cups and didn't give my vinegar that I requested (5 Total People seated) read more

Tasty and great quality food. Generous portion and served in timely manner. We visited off peak lunch time, but tables were occupied by plenty customers and friendly service people on the floor. Only drawback is the place is kind a too much space. Sealing is very high and old building gives me a bit chilly feeling. However the food is great and reasonably-priced. You should try. read more

Coming here on Christmas, we understand that it's busy. We came here before opening and waited in the line outside. Our party was here for over 3 hours, we waited the first hour with no food or water cups, never got a refill of tea, no extra napkins, and we ordered through an iPad. They forgot about one of our main entrees, and serve one dish about every 45 minutes. We tried to order Thai tea, the lady told us that they are out of Thai tea and they cannot do that for us. She lied to our faces because we saw other customers with Thai teas and servers carrying them around. Honestly horrible service and this is my first impression of this restaurant, will not be returning. read more

Came here for dim sum lunch on a Friday--first time visiting. The food was solid, I'd give it 4.5 stars, but the service and vibe brought it down a notch. Some standout dishes: BBQ pork pastry buns, BBQ pork pie, chicken feet, shrimp dumplings, and stuffed eggplant with shrimp--really well done. The fried oysters with wasabi cream were just okay, a bit too fishy for my taste. Service was friendly but not exactly dialed in. We had to ask for water multiple times, and one of our dishes ordered wasn't served i.e. forgotten by the server--by then it was getting late, so we just let it go. The decor didn't help either--very dark and kind of tavern-like. A refresh with brighter colors would definitely lift the mood. The place was pretty packed for a weekday lunch, so clearly the food draws a crowd. With better service (maybe a few more staff on the floor) and a brighter atmosphere, I'd easily bump the whole experience to 4.5 stars. read more

We had a table for dinner today and I was a bit disappointed. All the noodle dishes was way too salty so salty it was difficult to eat. All dishes were just mediocre. When raised to their staff they didn't say much other than bring over a dessert. The day after everyone's mouth was super dry it's an aftermath of MSG. Too much money spent for such a disappointment read more
