Dim Sum House

So good,yall... Everything we had was just amazing! I would have liked for my server to have given me the right boxes for my leftovers, He gave me plastic one for pastry's, My food leaked, and the juices got all over. Overall I highly recommend 👌.

Absolutely top tier dim sum in every way! I've never had such delicious fresh food! Top 3 restaurants of all time !!! I wish I could give it 10 million stars!!!!!!!! I ate too much and then still ordered 3 dishes to go! Order the Bean Curd Roll as an absolute minimum!

A great neighborhood sleeper. We decided to go for a feast at our first visit & ordered a bunch to sample. Fast, fresh, & cheap - all that dim sum is about. Surprised to see shrimp toast on the menu!

Personnel were very attentive. Had to share a large round table with a young couple. There were 4 of us. Though I prefer keeping to ourselves, we had a nice experience with the young couple and their young child. The honey cashew shrimp was delicious. One may want to double the order or add a side of rice for it to be filling. The others had dumplings filled with various ingredients, vegetables, and pork They enjoyed the entrees. I tried a little of each and for my taste, the dough was undercooked, the vegetables bland, and the meat was minimal and mushy. The outside of the building appears a little run-down, but the neighborhood is old and quaint. The inside is fairly clean and comfortably cozy. I had a good experience and may be what someone is looking for.

I would say the dinning area is very clean, the food is ok same as most of restaurants in ID, the pricing is similar as well. I came here because it is easier to park, but I was still waiting about 15 minuets to get a spot. Probably will came back to try dim sum when I have more time, heard a lot good things about their dim sum.

Small, chill dim sum place. I enjoyed all the food I got. The shumai had more filling than other places I've had. The options geared more to seafood fillings than meat. It seemed like there were more varieties of dim sum but less flavors, example only shrimp dumplings vs shrimp and pork dumplings. Parking was easier than international district and prices seemed the same or a bit lower.

Joust found my fav dim sum place in Seattle!! Sooo much better than any spot in international district. Everything taste so freshly made and not defrost from the frozen pack ( saw them take out fresh batch of warm buns ) You can especially taste the fresh veggies from bean curd rolls and stuffed pepper. The sauces are amazing. Service is a little slow since most dishes are made fresh. Not a lot of table so it can be extremely packed during weekends. Easy to park out front. I will only come here for dim sum from now on!

We bought a live red king 🦀 crab, a live finish and live swamp eels from the seafood market next to it. They helped cook all the seafood in whatever way you want, they even could cook the king crab in three ways, very tasty 👅 the fried noodles and veggies are delicious 🤤. Highly recommended!

What a turnaround. I had been here many years ago and was not a fan. The memory of them heating a baked bao in the microwave was not a good sign. Fast forward several years and this place rates right up there with the fancier joints. I've usually been lucky to find a parking spot on the Beacon Ave median. Today's to-go order was packed with care. Won tons, noodles and greens packed separately from the soup and a piece of cardboard at the bottom to stabilize everything. Steamed bao good, fried football was crispy, chewy and full of pork, fun gor wrapper and crimp very good and not tough. I intended to get the pan fried yellow triangle shrimp and chive dumpling, but got the round, sesame topped version. Held the heat all the way across the WS Bridge and very juicy. Today's dough on the baked bao a little too dense but the filling was good.

This isn't the BEST dim sum place and it's definitely not as good as the popular spots in the International District, but it does satisfy the craving for dim sum when you really want it. We stopped here because the location was more convenient for us at the time. On a weekday at around 2pm there were 4 other parties eating here at the same time as us so I'm guessing it must get pretty crowded on weekends. I have no complaints about the service as it's basically what you would expect at any dim sum restaurant. Prices were reasonable and food portions were good.

Tried this place in the late afternoon and got seated immediately Good service, We got poured chrysanthemum tea and was greeted in Cantonese. We ordered 3 dishes and they came relatively fast. The har gao was delicious, chicken feet had a different taste than I'm used to but was good and fresh. The rice roll was not that flavorful so my least favorite of the bunch. Ambience was nice, it was small but it feels authentic. Overall I like this place, the dim sum is fresh and hot and would want to come here again to try other dishes.

Such quick service, not a lot of seats but short wait if you come before 11am. They do a good job on the classic dim sum. No push cart but they have a menu with pictures of all the dim sum items and a separate menu for everything else. The ha gow, xiu, mai, lotus rice, spare ribs, bean curb roll, chicken feet, and beef chow fun were delicious! I think I would've like the rice rolls a bit more if it was silkier/softer and if it was served with a sweeter and thinner soy sauce.

We came when it opened on a weekend, and there was a dirty tub of dishes sitting in the dining area from the night before. The worst is that there was a giant cockroach scurrying back and forth between our table and the table in front of us in broad daylight. If these pests are not afraid of humans or light, there's a serious cleanliness issue. We had only had a couple bites of food which was actually pretty good but got up and paid our bill quickly and left as soon as we noticed. They leave the dim sum in an open display case too, which makes this discovery worse...

My favorite dim sum restaurant in Seattle. I love the location and small dining room. I try to remind everyone, the space is small so it can pack out quickly, unless I have lots of time I often order to go so I can leisurely eat at home. I did this for Christmas morning with my family and it was a tasty, filling and quick meal at to enjoy in the comforts of home, that I am not capable of making. We ordered ha gao, deep fried crescents, Chinese broccoli, stuffed eggplant, sesame balls, egg custard tarts, bbq pork pastry, steamed bbq pork buns and chive and shrimp pan fried.

We were there for late lunch. The place was empty, no wait. The salted pepper squid was good, but it was salty. It would have been good to eat with rice. The green stir fried was very good. I recommend getting it. Shrimp toast was good greasy. The food came out hot and did not have to wait too long. They do have vegetarian options.

Wow . This place is under new management since I was last in (pre-Covid) and I have been missing out!!! The indoors has been renovated and is now super clean, and the food is super affordable and excellent. We came in for dim sum for lunch. I unfortunately did not take a picture of the Dan Dan noodles but they were peanuty spicy perfection. The green beans were expertly cooked and delightfully garlicky. The wonton dumplings in chili oil (pictured) were fantastic. LOVE this place!

We always pass by this place and one day decided to get shrimp fried rice. I ordered take out and when we got home we noticed something black when opening the container. I looked closely and it had LEGS!! It was a cockroach in our food. I don't know how a business can serve their customers this!! Truly disgusting and definitely lost my appetite. Now I can say that I will never be going back to this place. They offered to make us a new one before giving us a refund but knowing what I got from my order I did not want my food to be cooked in an infested kitchen. Don't eat here if you don't want cockroaches in your food

I used to love Dim Sum House, but sadly, it's not what it used to be. We ordered the salt and pepper squid, and it came out with a strong ammonia smell, definitely a red flag. The rest of the food was just okay at best. Most dishes lacked flavor and were on the dry side. It's disappointing because this place used to be a go to spot for quality dim sum.

Love these Cantonese dim sum dishes and seafood crispy noodles chow mein. Prices were raised but about the same as other Chinese restaurants in the area

My new go to! Growing up in NYC and always getting good dim sum has been a norm for me. Now being in Seattle and Beacon hill I have found my goto! The ha gow and sui mai are great and consistent. The fried turnip cakes are crispy! The service is a bit slow at times but I guess I give it a pass for good fresh dim sum! It's a strong 3.5 .... 4-5 range is like Richmond BC just for you to know my range.

Decent place to get your dimsum fix, nothing too spectacular but quite comparable with establishments from International district/Chinatown area. Food that I liked, SiuMai and the HaGao, they're the dimsum staple and they executed quite well. Food that worth trying but not quiet well executed, the shrimp toast, I haven't seen this dish being offered in other area of Seattle, although it came out too greasy for my liking when I tried it. Food that seems popular that I think we should avoid, congee, too plain and no thrilled for $13. We came on a Saturday so they were really busy, and don't expect the service to be spectacular, keep your expectation low and you'll walk out happy :)

I love how it feels like I am at home eating a meal every time I come here. Comfy easygoing ambience. Never loud. The owners remind me of my parents who also speak the same language, Cantonese. The food is always delicious every time we come. And if you buy seafood next door at the market, they can prep it for you and turn it into a dish. Love that! They also serve other Chinese dishes other than dim sum AND bubble tea! We came on a rainy Wednesday night so it wasn't busy at all. I feel like they should have more customers! This is a great restaurant to support if you're ever craving for dim sum or Chinese food! :)

This used to be my favorite spot unit I saw COCKROACHES crawling on the walls and tables. Very disappointed. They need to really deep clean the place before someone gets really sick.

Seems to be popular for to-go pick up. Despite the fact we called in our order, the wait was still 30 minutes passed the promised time. The cramped parking for just a few small cars has barely enough room to maneuver through. Inside ~ a mishmash of untidiness & clutter. Nowhere to wait for the order to come out. Service ~ poor communication and confusion on the order of to-go delayed ours even more. Decent dimsum but not for the stress.

I came back again for the second time in a week! I was missing out on the buns the first time! Freshly came out of the oven at 9 am and it was the best buns I had!

I've mostly been here for dim sum and it's not bad. I would say it's a solid option if you don't want to head over to the more busier restaurants for dim sum. This is definitely a no frills kind of joint, so don't expect fancy stuff here. It's just solid and simple Chinese food that you can't be mad at. You'll probably enjoy the simplicity of it like I have. Decided to try their non-dim sum items this time around because I came here after work and felt like having shared entree dishes instead. We got the salt and pepper fried tofu, house special fried rice, and the chicken curry. The fried tofu was a bit too salty for my taste. I enjoyed the fried rice a lot. Basically it has all the meats stir fried up with rice and veggies. The chicken curry taste like any other chicken curry I've had at any Chinese restaurant in Seattle. Hard to mess up and hard to dislike. Solid. Restaurant is basically a mom and pop restaurant, so service is minimal. You have your order taken and get your food when it's ready. Wave down the service whenever you need anything as best as you can. It isn't hard though since the restaurant is pretty small and business is moderate with just a couple other customers. Overall, decent experience. Support the small restaurant if you can.

Lovely service, a ton of food options and really enjoyed their dishes! Also was a very warm atmosphere, chatted with some other patrons.

My family and I needed a new dim sum spot ever since Joy Palace went under new management so we decided to try here. It's a small shop but was very clean and was PACKED for Saturday lunch! I think we came at the right time to snag a table. There's only 6 or 8 tables that seat 4 people and 2 big ones that have a lazy Susan. A lot of people did takeout. Servers weren't very attentive or talkative. My dad tried flagging them down a few times when they'd pass by to order but they'd ignore him and I would have to get up to the front counter or right next to a worker. A little discouraging ngl since I'm a quiet introvert but don't they say bad service is a sign for good food at a Chinese/Asian restaurant?! My fav worker was this guy with short hair and a black T-shirt who was probably the nicest. The food did take awhile to come out and came out in waves. The food was very delicious and everything was very hot, like as if made to order. My fav items were the salt and pepper squid, salty lava egg buns, and stuffed tofu. The fried shrimp balls and shrimp rolls were also great and my parents liked the chicken feet. Only item I didn't love was the siu mai, as I felt it was heavy on the pork and could've used shrimp. There's a big variety of items they have and their dim sum menu has photos of each item, so it's so helpful if you've never been to dim sum before or if you don't know the name of certain dishes! My sister ordered the Hong Kong style milk tea which was pleasantly flavored. I thought for a dim sum place it would be average or maybe even bad, but it had good tea flavor and the tapioca pearls were soft. A cup was only $4 and toppings were 50 cents. I'd love to come back and get a different milk tea flavor to really assess their drinks. All in all, Dim Sum House will be our new spot for dim sum for the foreseeable future.

Lol, decided to see what was in the area during my short lunch break. Menu was pricey ($16+).. decided to go with the chili dumplings for $11. Walked out, decided to check what they gave me since the to go bag weighed less than an airpod. This is what they gave me. This is exactly why I never tip anymore when it's to go.

I have no idea why this place has such a low rating?! Needed to stop for lunch and decided to come here even though it only had 3.5 stars. The menu pricing and options looked decent. We were quickly sat down, they have a typical Chinese food menu with some in dim sum or full size. We ordered the bbq pork rice roll, vegetable fried rice, garlic green beans and boba. Also a good tip: they have a full boba menu!!! The food came out super fast, the bbq pork roll was a perfect portion with amazing flavoring. The garlic green beans has so much good minced garlic and seasoned perfectly; it barely had any oil compared to other Chinese food places. The vegetable fried rice had so many veggies and egg in it, everything was just piled on and was so good! I'm so happy that they didn't skimp out on veggies! The boba was so surprising. I wasn't expecting much as usually when a restaurant has boba it's all creamer and powder and mushy soggy boba but this place wasn't! The boba was as good as the best boba shops around. The texture was perfect and the flavoring was the liquid kind which tasted so good! I really hope someone sees this review and considers stopping by at the restaurant because it is completely worth it. Our total for 3 plates and 1 drink was $35 which beats buying some expensive plate with little to no food somewhere else.

This small, unassuming restaurant tucked along a busy street shouldn't be overlooked: there's some great cooking going on inside. The value proposition here is strong. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. All the dumplings (ha gow, siu mai, xiaolong bao) were really good, as were the fried shrimp balls and even the soy sauce chow mein. They have a wide variety of dim sum staples that they serve all day and that are cooked to order. The best value here though is their boba: where else can you get a drink with boba for $4? Seriously.

I stopped by here last week because I was craving for some wonton noodles soup and this place was on my way to work, and I've been meaning to stop by here to check out their dim sum also. It's a small mom and pop shop on Beacon AVE with Seattle Super Market across the street, fast and friendly service. Noodle soup was hot and delicious, just need a drizzle of chili oil to make it taste even better. I ordered some dim sum to go, their prices were a lot cheaper than most dim sum places. I got siu mai, chicken feet, egg plants, pork spareribs, steamed bean curd, deep fried shrimp dumplings, and my family said all were very delicious.

I feel like it's one of those lowkey dim sum spots in Seattle not in the international district, Last time I came we primarily just wanted shrimp rice noodles roll which was really good. although the inside is small and not enough seating in my opinion; I feel like it would be a great place for takeout dim sum. It's one of those places if I happened to be in the area I would go to it.

The dim sum tastes mid tbh and do not get their milk tea ‍ no flavor, not good. Lots of pepper filled flavors for all dishes which I'm not a fan of. Their chef's specials are delish tho! It's also extremely hard to find parking here but that's not on them. One thing that's great about this place is you can buy seafood (fresh) next door and pay them a fee to cook it for you! The service is great and they're attentive even towards closing.

This is my first dim sum experience in Seattle so take what I say with a grain of salt. My brother in law wanted dim sum and we didn't want to go to Seattle or CID. Dim sum house is a tiny shop that can be easy to miss if you're not vigilant. Don't ask me about parking. Everything was covered in snow. We parked in what we think was a parking lot. But we could've been on someone's lawn for all I know. A cozy interior, two big tables with lazy Susans that could fit a group of 8 and several smaller tables. Highlights -shrimp toast: I'm glad this is a thing. It's what you'd imagine a shrimp donut would taste like. -Congee: nice and hearty in a snowy day. I was satisfied with the pepper level, it was on the liquid side of consistency, but I preferred that. One order is enough for 3-4 people. -Honey Walnut Shrimp: Hard to mess this up. Safe choice here The dumpling dishes were average. Not much soupiness in the soup dumplings. But Dim Sum House got the job done in terms of giving us a decent dim sum meal and not too pricey. But one knock I'll give it is that we weren't served everything we had ordered, and we had to remind the waitress that we still were waiting for several more dishes when we got the check. And there were a couple we probably never got. So I'd advise you to make sure you're keeping track of everything your order and received.

From the moment the four of us walked in, we were seated immediately. We came around 7:30pm on a weekday. They had 2-3 huge circle tables and then a few smaller 2-person tables. We got one of the huge circle tables. I am a fan of the dim sum I had here. There were a few that weren't available anymore due to time of day, but it's all good. The most memorable was the shrimp toast -- it was a new concept for me and our table was ready to order another round but sadly we got the last batch. I'm not in the area much but overall enjoyed what I had!

Not sure why the overall Yelp review isn't much higher. Food was excellent, and unlike many Dim Sum houses, here you're given a menu of dim sum to choose from and it's served, rather than having pushy dim sum carts waiters in your face all the time :-) Ambiance and service were both acceptable - nothing fantastic, but I'm here for the food, and the food was REALLY good.

love the dim sum here - delicious, fresh, and great assortment. staff is also very kind and helpful.

Kong Pao chicken. I walked over to Dim Sum House from the Fisher House at the Seattle VA. It was just what I needed. Delicious Cantonese food, wonderful clean restaurant, and very attentive staff. I will be back!

I been wanting to try this Dim Sum place out for quite a while ago. And I finally have the chance to. My coworker took me here for lunch one day. She said this is her fav dim sum spot in the area. We ordered plenty of typical dim sum items on the menu. Including sha mui, shrimp dumpling, fried shrimp ball, chive pancake, chicken feet, and etc. Everything was made freshly and bring to your table. Ain't no microwave kind of dim sum. This spot is legit. I even came back the next following day with a friend here. And then, I came back again. Lol... for the 3rd time. Some items was a miss I guess I came there late in the afternoon some of the items weren't as fresh and some are sold out. Overall, this place is good for some dim sum. Chinatown has some good one too.

Great dim sum spot to check out if you don't want to wait the long weekend lines in the ID. It's a very small spot and with a group of 7 of us, surprisingly the wait was only 15-20 mins or so - compared to an hour plus wait at dim sum spots in the ID. If you're in the Beacon Hill neighborhood, this won't disappoint. Don't leave here without trying the shrimp toast!

Our go to spot for dim sum, chungching chicken, and chicken feet. The only issue I have is they are closed Wednesdays. I always have dim sum cravings on Wednesdays.

Been here many times over the last couple of years, it was pretty decent back then. We've been here a couple of times since summer and I can say that it has gone down hill. Service is lacking, we feel ignored once we are seated. It has taken up to 10 mins for someone to come take our order. I get it, there's sometimes only 1 person working the tables. But sometimes they are also the only person working and they tend to do the phone orders first before they tend to those dining in. I appreciate that the food is cooked as you order it unlike some dim sum places. However, it should not take 20 mins for a dish. One of the last times we were there it took 30+ mins to get one of the dishes that we ordered. With that said, the food is decent enough. Not the best, but definitely not the worst. Its just easier to come here than to try going somewhere in the International District. However, they don't have many tables. If there are only 2-3 of you, just know that you may be sharing one of the big tables with another small group.

Met a friend here for Dim Sum. Small place so I imagine it could get busy but we were able to get seated quickly on a Saturday at 10 AM. Good solid choices on the dim sum menu - they had all the basics - shumai, dumplings, pork rib, buns, egg custard, you tiao, porridge, some greens, chicken feet, etc. Everything I wanted out of dim sum was on the menu. I liked all the selections. They brought out everything little by little so it was fresh and hot. Good pacing for the two of us - helped us not over order. My favorite was actually the pork roll in a puff pastry - I never had it before and it was so good!! Perfectly cooked and seasoned pork on the inside and the pastry was so flaky and slightly sweet on top to bring the whole dish together. So good! You Tiao and porridge is solid too! My only critique is the Chicken Feet. This is usually my favorite dim sum dish but I found this one to have basically no flavor at all. Not sweet nor savory.... just bland. Would still come back to eat everything else though!

The food is super yummy and probably one of my favorites but be warned if you dine in. The service is always really slow and bad. My niece found a cockroach crawling up her arm the last visit. We always have missing items that they charge for so always double check your food and your receipt.

Dim sum? Beacon hill? Sounds like an underrated duo! This beacon hill staple was so delicious when my cousin and I were looking for a bite to eat. I wish I had taken photos before I ate it all!! It was all so delicious and hot out the Folks, let me tell you. In the 22 years of my life, the dim sum house has been the cheapest around Seattle in spite of increase of everything around town. My favorite mom and pop spot outside of Chinatown. You're able to vote with your dining dollar and I would recommend this place 10/10 times! I especially love the shrimp toast try this place out the next time you're in the area!!

I really like their congee and turnip cake. Small dim sum shop with available parking across the street. Didn't really have to wait long for service and will return for a quick lunch meal.

Truly excellent food! San is a wonderfully quick and kind server. I loved the Sesame Red Bean balls and the garlic green beans. Tasty congee, too!

Great little dim sum place. Very little atmosphere, but the food was quick and the service was friendly. I especially love the turnup cakes some of the best I've had. I also like the spicy wontons. I'm on the look for good shrimp toast this was not quite the place for that, although it wasn't bad, and the lotus and rice wrapped in the banana. Leaf was very good. All in all I recommend.

This is a small place on Beacon Ave across the street from some great international markets. I like that I don't have to go all the way to the ID to get dimsum. Parking is usually easy in the small lots in the middle of Beacon. The shumai here are quite good, they seem more homemade than some I've had at other spots. The steamed shrimp balls with chives are also really good and generously sized. They don't have as much of a selection of crispy shrimp balls as some other places, but the ones they do have are really tasty. I also recommend the Singapore style noodles. They're always super fast and friendly too, this is a great little neighborhood spot.

As a first timer, the Dim Sum House was a nice surprise! It satiated my dim sum craving without having to take a trek to the international district. It's a small, unassuming spot with very reasonable prices. The shu mai seemed bigger than average, and it was one of my favorites along with the sticky rice and egg custards. I would pass on the chau siu bao. The turnip cake is on my list to try next.

The service was terrible. We arrived first but the waitress served another table before us. The other patrons were White, we are African American! Not cool.

Horrible experience. Told to sit at a dirty table with the old boss guy. No menu, no water, no tea. Completely ignored, so I left. Not a good way to conduct a restaurant. Dirty, bus tubs on the floor.

Tried this place because it's near home in south Seattle and you don't have to commute to chinatown and find parking. This place is good if you are looking for quick dim sum, it's very small so you may be bumping shoulders and knees with some of the waitress. If you're looking for good dim sum I would recommend going to honey court or Hong Kong bistro in Chinatown. This place checks the box for a convenient dim sum quick fix. Nothing special.

Small but good dim sum restaurant. Fairly extensive menu for such a small kitchen, but everything we had was good. Prices are reasonable. This is a small order from a menu dim sum and not a big cart dim sum place. Service is okay, but it could be improved. Overall, good. We will return.

Always amazing. I dream of their potstickers! Everything is fresh and made to order(no carts). Great service and delicious food!

We love all their dim sum plates. Too bad the place is small. I also wish the would make more baked goods that what is in the showcase..if you don't see it, there's no more
