We finally tried Harmony Palace, a Hong Kong-style 茶餐廳 I'd been seeing online for a while. The restaurant is small and pleasantly quiet; there was only one other party when we arrived. Honestly, fewer crowds is a bonus these days. We ordered a solid spread: HK milk tea, 鴛鴦, curry chicken rice, 混醬腸粉, 雲吞麵, 沙嗲牛肉米, and 西多士. Overall, I'd give it 4 stars. The curry looked a little questionable at first--don't judge a curry by its color--but it tasted great. The 腸粉 was thicker than I expected, but everything else was enjoyable. The milk tea and 鴛鴦 were right on par with what you'd want from an HK café, and the prices felt reasonable by current Seattle standards, which is almost its own five-star category. No complaints overall. I'd definitely come back--just maybe leave 30 minutes early for parking.

They have some nice lunch combos, but sucks that they don't provide soup for takeout. Could substitute with a rice or something! Honey Walnuts Prawns - honey walnut shrimp is such a classic, easily one of my favorites from childhood and still near the top of my list. I don't know if it's the takeout container, but the quantity with respect the box was disappointing. Felt like there was less shrimp and walnuts compared to what I'm used to, but I think I also pay closer to $22-25 for the dish (the one here was $20). Minced Pork with Green Bean - now this was a hefty box, lots of green beans tossed with the classic XO sauce and a solid amount of pork. Honestly not much to comment on, this was a hearty dish and very comforting. Would recommend for green bean or string bean lovers.

The Chinese name, 全記麵家, has little to do with the name Mike, but is nevertheless an excellent choice for anyone in the area. The staff is very Cantonese through and through. It is a cash only establishment and their menu is heavy on the noodles, be it in soup form or dry. There isn't a ton of room for large groups, but the turnover is quick and thus the weights are usually quite minimal. Service is very good overall and super friendly. I would highly not recommend using their bathroom, as it's tiny, cramped, and not in the best condition. The noodle soups vary from wonton noodles to fishballs. They also specialize in beef brisket and fishballs, making this feel like a bit of a Hong Kong style cafe. Most of the soups average out to be $14-16, depending on size. It's a joy to watch them assemble the bowls in lightning quick fashion. Wontons are excellent. They're plump with just enough skin for texture and are complemented by a fragrant soup and very little skimpage on the noodle (#1). The large dumpling (aka "sui kau") is an excellent wonton alternative for those looking for similar textures. The beef brisket is tender and they also have a dedicated section for just congee. There aren't a lot of places like Mike's anymore, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second for an opportunity to come back. In fact, I'll make sure it's part of the Seattle rotation (#2) for whenever I'm back. __________ (#1) Read: very good portions. (#2) Unless of course, I'm on my way to Vancouver BC.

We got the preserved meat clay pot rice, salt and pepper fried fish filet, and beef brisket and wonton noodle soup. The clay pot rice was okay - the pricing is fair but the execution could be a bit better. I felt like the rice was a bit lacking in flavor, and they only have the standard soy sauce, not the ones in a sauce tray that is usually a bit sweeter. The salt and pepper fried fish filet was good - definitely recommend that for the taste and value. The noodle soup was also good - the wontons were okay but I loved the beef brisket. Noodles seem to be handmade as the texture is a bit uneven, but I appreciate these types of noodles more.

This place is a true gem, serving satisfying, delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere at an affordable price. The restaurant looks small from the front, but space is used efficiently and they manage to fit quite a bit of seating into not that large of a dining room. Tables are mostly four tops, quite spacious at that, and surrounded by sturdy wooden chairs. I came for dinner on a Friday evening and there were a few other tables at any given time. Service was quick and our water never ran empty. We had the wontons in hot oil, topped with peanuts, I had the beef chow fun, and my dinner buddy had the pork with hot sauce noodles. The wontons are very very good, stuffed with flavorful pork and swimming in a sauce that sits in that perfect spot at the intersection of hot and sour. The peanuts and scallions add a delightful crunch. Their beef chow fun satisfies every bit of childhood nostalgia I have for this dish, with lots of wok hei, bouncy noodles, and the most tender of beef. I think my favorite beef chow fun in the city still lives at A+ Hong Kong Kitchen, but this is a close second. The portion here is also huge. I am a human vacuum and I actually brought leftovers home, which is rare for me. The pork with hot sauce noodles is seemingly a fusion of zha jiang mian and dan dan noodles. My friend really enjoyed it and actually finished the whole thing, which is saying something given that she doesn't usually eat that much. There are so many other items on the menu that I'm eager to try, so I will definitely be back.

To start, the portion sizes are amazing. When I saw the waiter pull out a whole vat of fried rice, I was already nodding in approval. They're big and make you feel like you're getting your money's worth. The quality of the food I would say is slightly better than average. While the fried rice and noodles were great, the shrimp used for the honey walnut prawns had that rubbery/synthetic mouth-feel, so docked off some points for that. Taste-wise, the noodles and rice were pretty light and a bit bland, which makes sense why the soy sauce tasted extra salty. Use it as a good counterbalance. I doused that rice in soy sauce and sriracha because it was me, but if you're not a fan of bold flavors and are looking to lose weight (but still love fried rice), it may be more up your alley. Honey walnut prawns were buss (not minding the texture thing), and the angus beef was seasoned to perfection. I'll take 3 more plates of that angus beef if not for the fact that my dish was 1 part beef and 3 parts zucchini. Would've preferred more beef for a dish that was 23 bucks. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the zucchini dish with a side of beef. Water tasted like tea and and not the other way around. Service - 4.3/5 Hospitality - 4/5 Speed - 4/5 Wait times - 5/5 Nothing too remarkable here. It's a family owned restaurant so the vibes were very homey. We got seated right away because we were loitering outside the door before the open sign turned on. Wait times were fine. It took roughly 15 mins for everything to be pushed out, with the fried rice being the first dish to land on our table. Hospitality was average. The waiter checked in on us a few times and asked if we needed refills for our water, but that's about it. I enjoyed saying hi to the occasional kid who popped in the shop. Design - 3.25/5 Interior: 4/5 Exterior: 2/5 Neighborhood: 3/5 Amenities: 4/5 Outside is mid, but the inside is lit with decorations and fun lights. Again, very homey and easy to navigate around the place. Neighborhood is the CID which can be shady at night, but we went during the daytime so it was chill. Just look over your shoulder every once in a while and carry pepper spray. Bonus points because the trip to the bathrooms didn't feel like going to the backrooms. Overall, food was semi-buss, waiter said hi, I didn't get jumped, the inside wasn't a liminal space, and the bathrooms wasn't a trip to the backrooms. 7.6/10.

**Visited 10/12/14 but had duplicate Yelp accounts, so am trying to consolidate them here!** I was more than dismayed when the only dim sum place near north Bothell, Zen Garden in Mill Creek, went out of business a time back (maybe early 2013?). I learned just today that it reopened as Hong Kong Dim Sum off 164th under new ownership but with the same chef and menu. So my 12yo foodie son and I headed off to check it out around 3pm on a Saturday. Located in a strip mall and considerably smaller than the old location (which seemed like a waste of space anyway because it was never full), we arrived and were immediately seated. There were 3 other large tables that were full of people who looked to be of Asian descent, which I usually take to be a good sign. The atmosphere is less cozy that the prior location (and the curtains are awful), but we were there for the food. We ordered the pork soup dumplings (which were on special), steamed prawn dumplings, another order of special shrimp dumplings (we like shrimp dumplings!), pan-fried pork bun, radish cakes, and a plate of broccoli. The soup dumplings were very good. We'd never had them before so the hostess showed us what to do in terms of holding them on a soup spoon, poking them with a chopstick, then enjoying the broth and finally eating what's left. Very fun for my son, and the broth was deliciously flavorful, so probably not bouillon from a cube. The basket came with 6, we ate 4, and by the time we went back to have another one, the fun was over and the broth had absorbed into the pastry. Lesson learned -- eat them fast! The steamed prawn dumplings were nothing to write home about -- they were as good as we expected, cooked perfectly, the shrimp mixture inside was fine. Came in a basket of 4. This is a staple of ours so we will order again. The special shrimp dumpling was probably my favorite. First, they were beautiful! They came wrapped in a light green rice wrap tied at the top with a thin strip of seaweed, then topped with a pinch of roe. I almost hated to eat them, but they were very good and tasted richer than the plain steamed prawn dumplings, but maybe it was my imagination because they were so pretty. We will definitely order these again! The pan-fried pork bun was also nothing to write home about and was as good as we expected. My son liked them because they were the only thing we ordered that had a dough instead of a rice paper enclosure. Variety, you know! The radish cakes at Zen Garden were always a favorite of mine and these are exactly the same so they did not disappoint. They are cut into 2"x3" rectangles, are about 1/2" thick, and lightly crispy on the outside. I've had them several other places and never like them as much as these. It's a staple of mine! Finally, the Chinese broccoli was perfectly steamed (I like mine a bit crunchy), beautifully green, abundant, and not topped with a bunch of oil. They served it with a side of oyster sauce that truly was maybe only a tablespoon and it was too thick to pour even though it was warm. I was pretty confused by that and should have asked for more but didn't. It was certainly not enough to serve with so much broccoli even if it could have been easily poured. We ended up spending just under $30 and lots of leftovers so I think the value was good. The service was friendly, water always full, no long wait for anything we ordered. They were not doing cart service when we were there but it sounds like others have said they do offer it sometimes. We just ordered off the dim sum menu and I was glad to see the same items I enjoyed at Zen Garden were still there. Next time I will want to try either the Szechuan style green beans or the mustard greens with garlic sauce rather than the broccoli. And one of my favorite dishes they serve is the steamed cuttlefish in curry sauce (so, SOOOOO good if you like squid!), but I couldn't talk my 12yo into it this time. Overall, I was glad to hear they are back and not too far from the old location. We will be back! P.S. Link to their dim sum menu is: http://www.hongkongdimsumlynnwood.com read more

We used to frequent HK Dim Sum when it was located in the Martha Lake area and were eager to visit again. This time, however, we needed a place closer to Seattle, so we decided to try its new location. We ordered our usual favorites: soup dumplings, siu mai, and hum bow, all of which tasted great. Unfortunately, my experience took a turn when I visited the restroom. It was extremely dirty, with food left out and grease everywhere. The shared bathroom was in a disgusting state, lacking toilet paper and cleanliness. Upon returning, our siu mai had just arrived. My son was about to take a bite when he noticed a cockroach stuck to it. Without hesitation, I called the waitress over, and she promptly removed it, stating she would cancel our order. I assumed she meant the bill, but moments later, she apologized and offered to let us take our leftovers home. However, after the cockroach incident, no one at our table felt like eating anymore, so I declined. When the bill arrived, she had applied a 25% discount, which felt more like a token gesture than a solution. I paid the bill and left, vowing never to return. read more

Worst experience. We got the coupon from Asian Family Market, all listed restaurants have specific instructions indicated the coupon is for dine in or take out, but they have nothing on there just stated $5 off. When we trying to pay, the waiter said 15% tip already added and we cannot use the coupon because it's for takeout only. WTF??!! There is nothing print out on the coupon stating this? And we have no option to choose how much we can tip, they said it's AUTOMATICALLY added since the pandemic, there is nothing they can do. We been here couple times, I mean, like a lot of times, no one ever told us the tip has been added already, which means we were double tipped like EVERYTIME?? It's not about $5 coupon, it just makes us feel disappointed and disgusted, if you really don't want do this event, no one is forcing you, but by lying to your customers is really not a good option to run a business. It's not our first time been here but seriously, not anymore. There are plenty good dim sum choices, not here. Avoid this place. read more

Best hole in the wall Dim Sum place around...reminds me of the corner places in North Point, Hong Kong. Nothing fancy but good. Come to find out the Dim Sum Chef from Zen Garden owns this place. I agree the service is lacking, but the dim sum was great. One thing to remind people, if you go for Dim Sum, only go on weekends, Sat and Sun when the food is fresh. If you go any other day, you might get warm over dim sum from the day before. Hence the spoil chicken feet from a reviewer below. Chicken feet I had on Sunday was tender and the skin/tendon fell right off the bone...yummy. Food: 4 Star Service: 3 Star Decor: 2 Star Like I said, nothing fancy, but if you love Dim Sum...give this place a try and look past the decor and service. read more

I've been here several time for dim sum and once for dinner. Their dim sum chef was Zen Garden's former chef. So their dim sum menu is almost exact. The food isn't as fresh because they use carts and depending how busy it gets, the food could be steaming for some time. Their cart pushers are "pushy" to sell their food items. They say their shanghai dumplings are their specialty and honestly, its not that great. Dinner was great. Excellent price for their family meals. Comes with soup and dessert. The food isn't bad, but their decor is less than desirable, but I didn't come here for ambience. Plus I don't have to drive to Edmonds or Seattle for dim sum. read more

Bamboo Village Dim Sum: A Hit-and-Miss Experience A hit-and-miss dim sum experience today at Bamboo Village in Wallingford. This longtime decades restaurant has been under new ownership and management for about a year, so I'm hopeful they'll continue refining things as they move forward. The good: Bright, clean dining room, friendly service, plenty of seating, FREE parking, and it's great to still have a dim sum option in Wallingford. The misses: Several dishes lacked flavor, seasoning or the traditional textures I enjoy. The fried calamari was slightly over-fried, chewy and not as tender as I'd hoped--and I was surprised to see the $20 full-size charge when I ordered the $9.95 dim sum portion. That definitely needs clarification. The Hong Kong-style fried noodles with chicken had nice stir-fried ingredients but were very bland. Maybe because my friend requested no MSG? The lotus-leaf sticky rice had good flavor but was disappointing without the usual generous chunks of mushroom, chicken and Chinese sausage inside. The steamed chicken feet were a nice size with plenty of collagen-rich skin, but the sauce tasted more like a sweet BBQ sauce--not my favorite for chicken feet. The scallop and shrimp dumpling was essentially a ground seafood ball, and I wasn't a fan of that texture. The fried skin Tofo vegetable wrap was good and different, but really needed a good dipping sauce. And, Say, WHAT... NO duck sauce?! The standouts: The fried meat-filled "football" hom suey gawk was my favorite--FRIED crispy, mochi-chewy rice-flour with tasty morsels of meat inside. The DUM SUM 1/2 size portion garlic pea vines were also fresh, flavorful and nicely portioned. $11 vs $22 I'm glad Bamboo Village is here and appreciate the clean space, friendly service and convenient parking. With new ownership and management, I'm wishing them well and hoping they continue to improve the seasoning, ingredients, consistency and execution. I'd be happy to see them do better and give it another try down the road. And check your BILL!!! We pretty much ate everything ... Today, I am FaN...albeit, they can do better!!!

Service at Pho Tic Tac is impeccable anytime of the day!…read more While visiting quite late around 9 PM, the staff greeted us with kindness and often checked on us. We often drive by the restaurant but did not expect it to be so cute and modern inside! They have cute neon signs and a little mascot with their logo. I had really been craving bún bò huế and noticed the spicy beef noodle soup with saté-if I remembered correctly-on the menu. I confirmed with our waiter if this was just the long name for bún bò huế, and he said yes. Along with my dish, I ordered fish sauce wings to share with my friend. The fish sauce wings came piping hot, crispy, saucy, umami, and just perfect. Serving size was good with 2-3 wings per person. On the other hand, my dish was not what I was expecting. Rather than the actual bún bò huế, it missed a lot of key ingredients like pig's feet/hock, pig blood, pork sausages, and distinct side veggies (cabbage and/or banana flower). I did not expect all these marks to be hit but was hoping it at least tasted like the actual thing. While I was disappointed by my order, the food still tasted good, with my soup noodles more similar to pho with sate. Overall, I still would highly recommend staples like pho, rice dishes, and class Viet appetizers at this restaurant!

Such a gem that I am lucky to be near!…read more The food truck is located in a gas station parking lot so there may be limited parking if lit is a busy time. It seems like there is only one person running the whole truck so patience is key! The menu is quite extensive for all small the operation is but that was a nice surprise. There was only one other person waiting for their food when I got there so I did not have to wait long. The owner / operator of the truck was very friendly! I ended up ordering drunken noodles, a Thai iced tea, and fried shrimp! The Thai iced tea was pre-made and a lot sweeter than I usually like so I would not get it again. The fried shrimp appetizer was so good and came with a lime slice that made the whole thing so bright and light! The drunken noodles had the perfect flavor and I got it with chicken which had enough seasoning and such a nice char. It is very much a hidden gem and a perfect place to stop for a nice, fast, and warm meal.

The food is amazing, and the owner is super friendly. I got my coworkers into it, and now we get it…read moreall the time
