Late-night Cantonese dim sum & seafood; local chefs' favorite
"To complete the trifecta of great dim sum within a two-block radius in the CID is Honey Court Seafood. And while this spot may not be the best of the three, there are consistently great dishes, like corn and shrimp dumplings or honey walnut prawns. Just know that when trying to score a Sunday morning group table at pretty much any one of these three places, you will need an airtight strategy. Ours usually includes sending the least hungover people from our party as representatives to each restaurant, putting a name down, and then rushing to wherever we can get a table first. Work smarter, not harder, people." - kayla sager riley, carlo mantuano, aimee rizzo
"Across the street from Purple Dot, this nocturnal dim sum closes early (by 1:30 a.m.) on Sundays and pops off until 3:30 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, with the rest of the week sees it going until 2. It’s often buzzing with off-duty bartenders, restaurant industry folk, and other night owls knocking back tea and honey walnut prawns." - Harry Cheadle
"Across the street, Honey Court—a dim sum spot that regularly stays open into the very wee-est hours—was still buzzing when we left around 3:45, the kind of spot that keeps late-night Seattle moving." - Sophie Grossman
"There are a ton of dim sum restaurants in the International District. And while Honey Court Seafood may not be the best of the best, there are consistently great dishes here, like corn and shrimp dumplings or honey walnut prawns that make a trip to this sit-down spot totally worth it. Plus, they are open late until 12am every day, which means you can go out on Capitol Hill, and then end the night passing around steamer baskets full of dumplings and platters of salt and pepper chicken wings instead of settling for a rain-soaked hot dog." - Kayla Sager-Riley
"I will never tire of singing Honey Court’s praises: the Chinatown–International District spot is great for dim sum lunches with coworkers and lifesaving at 3 a.m. after bad karaoke — it’s seen me at my best, perhaps my worst, and definitely my most gluttonous (Peking duck for one, thanks!)." - Adam H. Callaghan
