Great late night spot. Open late with all day dim sum. Got the purple sweet potato gold custard balls which are not a traditional staple but it was hot, the custard was running like it should. 5/5. The XO seafood fried rice had fish, squid, shrimp clearly made using a well heated wok. The baked fish with corn with spaghetti - the fish was fried and crispy. A bit too much cheese for my personal taste. Not a fault of the restaurant - it's unfortunately a price to pay for being open late in international district these days :( but there was clearly someone experiencing homelessness that was coming in and out of the restaurant as he was charging his phone. So ambiance wise would not go if this is what you are looking for a late night place. But again not the fault of the restaurant. read more

Hong Kong Bistro has a casual, old-school neighborhood feel, with a simple and welcoming atmosphere that feels both like a local gathering spot and a fine dining destination. We ordered the sweet and sour pork, stir-fried noodles, fried rice, and mapo tofu. The dishes were classic Chinese comfort food done well, with plenty of comforting flavors and generous portions. Service was very efficient and friendly. For well presented classic Chinese dishes, Hong Kong Bistro is definitely worth checking out. read more

Hong Kong Bistro - Cantonese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Super solid place to get dim sum! After watching the USA vs Belgium match at Hing Hay Park, my friends and I stomachs were craving dim sum yesterday. I must say that event really populated the restaurant because it took our group 50 minutes instead of 20 to be sat. That turned out to be good because we were even hungrier for food. We ordered all the good stuff; Har Gao, Siu Mai, Tripe, Black Pepper Beef Spaghetti, Pork Puff Ball, Sautéed Yu Choy, and more. Everything was perfect, not too oily. I can't believe it was my time here. This is definitely one of my top dim sum spots. read more

A table full of immigrant Chinese Vietnamese chefs and boomers alls approved this. It hit the bar in flavor - not too sweet, not too salty. Good price, portions, and flavors. Great place for a family dinner , especially with picky adults. Loved the gravy chow fun and the Peking style pork chops! read more

We arrived about 9:30pm on a Tuesday and were greeted and seated immediately. The restaurant was lively and about half full. We ordered some radish cakes, dumplings and pork buns to share. All were delicious but the pork shrimp dumplings were the star. We also ordered beef yu-choy, satay chicken with Chinese broccoli and udon with beef slices. All the dishes were fresh tasting and delicious. This is a fun restaurant to try new things as is the case with most dim sum restaurants. Pro tip: dine earlier in the day for $4 dim sum which is near half off the regular price of $7.75. Highly recommended for a unique and adventurous dining experience. read more

The food, service and ambience of this place was outstanding. We were seated immediately and the restaurant was extremely busy, but the service was 10 out of 10. We were well looked after and walked through the menu with our server. Being from England originally we like Peking duck with hoisin sauce. It's hard to find places in Southern California, California so we were excited when we saw this Hong Kong bistro. The duck was excellent, however, it was a little fatty with all the skin. In the UK, they normally get the meat out of the duck and have it ready for you. I thought this duck was more fatty than meaty, Having said that, it was the closest we've had to the style we would have in the UK. The service was fast, the food came out in good time and the soup, etc. was outstanding. We definitely like this place and will be back when in Seattle. read more

My friends and I were visiting from the bay and we heard good things about HK Bistro. Luckily they had room for our large group with no wait on a Friday evening. Service was quick and easier with our Chinese friend giving more order details. We ordered SO much food: chicken corn soup, Hong Kong style crispy noodles, beef chow fun, pea sprouts, a variety of fried/steamed dim sum, don tats and it was all bomb. We definitely over ordered and had leftovers. Definitely recommend coming here when in the area! read more

The ambiance was nice and inviting. I met up with a colleague, and the space felt perfect for conversation, comfortable enough to linger but lively enough to keep things engaging. Everything arrived piping hot, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. It's a welcome upgrade for the neighborhood; Hong Kong Bistro has successfully transformed from a quick-stop spot into a genuine dining destination. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. read more

This is very traditional Chinese restaurant. It has very unique dish. I am here for the pigeon dish. The restaurant has a lot of customers. We started with the whole young pigeon. The preparation is different than the Egyptian style. The pigeon is deep fried with marinated sauce. It was delicious. Price is high for single pigeon. We also got the intestines kidney noodle soup. I think it is just ok. We also got a crispy fried noodle pancake. This is a special dish recommended by my kid. I like it. Overall is good. I like most of the flavor. Price is a bit high. read more

TLDR: Full stars for morning dim sum experience, been here before for late night food and it's a totally different experience. 4/5 bc the table chili oil wasn't my favorite. It has a Szechuan numbing flavor to it. Full dim sum experience with the hot tea and the check off menu. There was a line already forming 10 minutes before open on a Saturday morning. Ny two friends and I got 10 dishes for a little over $100 (including tax & tip) which is a steal to me ! Service was quick and everything came out hot and fresh ! They have lots of tables of all sizes so this is great for family and groups. Definitely recommend coming here for dim sum brunch ! read more

I probably eat here at least once every couple of weeks, and the friendly, fast service is always consistent. Most importantly, the food is also consistently good, which is hard to find in an Asian restaurant. The interior is clean and comfortable, making it a perfect spot to bring large groups of friends or family to socialize and eat. Where this place shines is the the dim sum. My favorite go to is always: - Shrimp Hacao (huge pieces!) - Pork Shu Mai (tasty and huge as well) - Beef or BBQ rice roll - Pan fried Taro Cake - Pan fried Radish Cake - Radish Cake with XO Sauce (this is a big portion and recommended if you have a larger group) All their dishes always comes out piping hot! My favorite tea to wash this all down is Buddha tea. I like the buddha tea because it's less bitter than others and has a golden taste to it. Honestly with the exception of the spare ribs, everything on the dim sum menu is pretty good, I just need to bring a bigger group of people so we can just try everything on the menu! read more

A fantastic restaurant in the International district in a large and clean space with fast friendly service. I opted for dim sum and it did not disappoint. The Yu Choy with Oyster Sauce was great with crunchy stems. The Roasted Duck was delicious with a sweet sauce. The Shrimp dumplings were perfectly steamed with large pieces of shrimp. The Jasmine tea went well with the meal as well. There are a lot of other items I want to try and will be back soon. read more

The crispy durian cake had a buttery, crumbly, graham taste. I love it. But the red rice sausage might have been prepared too early, so it's not plump enough. The food was served very quickly. read more

I came at around 9pm on a Thursday night and was seated right away (party of 5). The food came out fast and was super fresh. This was my first time having taro cake this way -- it was shredded taro fried like a hash brown instead of a paste. The deep fried shrimp balls with the kewpie mayo were very good, and probably my favorite dish. The beef chow fun and shrimp fried rice were standard (good just a bit oily). Overall I would come back to try their other menu items! read more

Hands down the BEST Chinese restaurant in Seattle!! This place has been a long-time favorite of mine for years! Their dimsum and traditional Hong Kong-style Cantonese food is incredible. We started going here during the pandemic to get takeout, and since then we go about 1-2x a month. We always order a TON and have left overs for the weekend. Our favorites are the sweet & sour pork, beef and Chinese broccoli, beef chow fun, pork & shrimp shumai, roast pork, and so many others... The restaurant is always super busy (which is a good sign that it's very popular) and the girl at the front desk is always SO sweet! Definitely recommend if you're looking for some good food or dimsum in Seattle. read more

I thought this place was pretty decent for the price. My mom wanted Asian food while we were driving through Seattle so we came, and she got an order of lo mein noodles with beef. It ended up being a soup based dish, so the noodles weren't the pan fried "classic" take out type. The broth seemed fish based, and was a little bit strong. I tried some and didn't love it but she liked it and for about $25 there was enough food for multiple meals so pretty good deal! The inside of this place was decently nice and had a lot of seating so that was good too. I wish they'd had like a side dish of just vegetables since a lot of the dishes were very carb or meat heavy. One thing I don't like about the area and Seattle (downtown) in general - there is NO free parking anywhere nearby. We just wanted take out so i ended up leaving the car and my mom about 1.5 blocks down with the emergency on and going in to get the food since there were almost no other spots to even leave the car, much less anything free. Overall - didn't feel too strongly about this place. It was good, got the job done. Wouldn't seek it out again necessarily. read more

Totally worth all the hype. They have a nice selection of dim sum that is mostly available all day, siu mai and shrimp + chive dumplings were really well done staples. They also had half a pecking duck for $30 which was a good deal. Perfectly done and crispy but still juicy and tender, just as it should be. It comes with the normal selection of sides and buns as well if you choose. By the people there, you can definitely tell this place is loved by families around International District. read more

Overall: Pretty solid dim sum. The inside is nice but also very busy. Food: The dim sum here was pretty good, they have a few stand out dishes but overall everything tasted good. Service: The service is fast for how many tables they work. You can order and get your food relatively quickly, even during peak hours. Ambiance: This is a nice sit down place, but definitely flexible into the casual area. read more

Whole duck????? Watch out. Was served under 10 minutes from ordering which was a red flag. Paper thin duck breast. Wing was bigger than both breasts and thighs combined. No meat served Peking duck was all duck skin. Then when you say something they just yell they'll show you the bones. I don't want the bones. I want the meat of my whole duck you didn't serve and are using for another dish. Yeah No meat left on the bones and none of it on the plate Definitely used our duck meat for some other dishes. No thigh meat. Breast only had meat on 4 of 8 slices on each side. Must have be prepped before. Show me the whole this before you slice it. Ariana Grande of ducks if I'd believed them. Not worth it Dim sum shrimp dumplings arrived last about 30 minutes after ordering. 20 minutes after the duck. They were gummy, gloopy, broken and over cooked. Strange side note they sat us in the white people section. The only place white people were sat was on small 2 seat tables against the wall. Weird and noted Once an amazing place read more

This is a place that I guess I didn't know was there. I mean...it's not new, but I came at the suggestion of others. We popped in for lunch and I went after the brisket noodles. Maybe could have been a bit more anise flavored and tender, but it wasn't bad. I probably should have tried something else to try, maybe next time. read more

The food here is always solid. I think service is decent, they do their best but maybe if they had one more server. Sometimes it's super busy but there's always a table. Been here 3 times & every time their food reminds me of my childhood. Writing a review because their roast pork was the best I've ever had. I've only had dryyyy, hard roast pork. Compliments to the chef WOW. All their other dim sum is solid too. Har gow shrimp portion is large & the wrapping is perfect (it doesn't rip open). Will happily return. read more

One of the best spots in the city for all day dim sum, hands down. The food is always hits the spot and warms my belly. Yummy

I wanted a fried fish over rice and have the cream of corn on the side or just not add it and they said they can't do it. I just wanted a rice place with out the creamy sauce as I'm allergic to it. Then she offered me a much more expensive same with over rice that cost $25+ where as the fried cod with creamy corn and rice cost $15. I dont see a problem just not add the creamy corn. Thier logic that they cannot do it just doesn't make sense. So didn't order any, just my partner eating while I'm watching, because they can't remove the creamy corn or just have it on the side. read more

Ambience is bright and classy. It was decently busy on a Wednesday night, and the food came out surprisingly quickly. Service left nothing to be desired. I think the most notable things about this restaurant are ambience, dim sum offering (even during later hours), and the very expansive menu. I was overwhelmed with how many things I wanted to try. Stuffed eggplant: 5/5, this was my favorite by far! Came with a dipping sauce and stuff with a shrimp-like filling. Sichuan five spice chicken: 3/5, good taste but meat to bone ratio was small and was a bit dry to my liking. Overall a pretty solid place and this would be my go-to the next time I'm craving some late night dim sum. read more

Overall: 8/10 Food: 8/10 Radish cake: 10/10. Super crispy on the outside, nice and creamy with chunks of radish and pork on the inside Chicken Feet: 7/10. Wasn't as flavorful or tender as I would've liked. Could've used more color as well Soup dumplings: 7/10. Dough texture was too soft and ripped too easy. The soup inside and filling was good though and there was plenty of soup and filling Shrimp and chive dumpling: 9/10. Plenty of filling and it was properly seasoned Taro ball with custard: 11/10. Custard was creamy inside and it was the perfect sweetness a dessert dim sum should have Tripe: 8/10. Could've used a little more seasoning Fried Taro Cake: 5/10. Was too sweet for something that was supposed to be savory and not a sweet desert Shrimp spring roll: 8/10. Very crispy wrapper and filling was full of shrimp Ambiance: 9/10 Traditional no frills dim sum via menu. They also had a large menu of non dim sum items. The fact that they were open until 2 am was a huge bonus Service: 7/10 Service was a little slow but that was probably because it was Lunar New Year read more

Another great go-to for dim sum! Although it can get busy during peak times, such as a weekend lunch. But once you stick it out and wait (just don't go while you're super hungry!), you'll be pleasantly surprised with how good their dishes are! Our usuals, shu mais, shrimp balls, sticky rice, tripe, etc are always a hit. They've got so much shrimp in them! I love their green beans...so much flavor! We'll occasionally get a lukewarm dish and maybe a slower than usual service, but it's because they're so busy! I love sitting in the booths; it feels away from the hustle and bustle and is a little more quiet and intimate. read more

I'll be honest, we were supposed to go to honey court, but they don't do all day dim sum like this place, and I already paid for parking so we decided to go here. This place was actually pretty good (taste wise) but the service was not great. We ended up getting the stuffed eggplant, siumai, rice, fried shrimp balls, salt and pepper squid, roast pork and the mango sago with coconut milk drink. My favorite was the mango sago with coconut milk drink. It was really refreshing, not artificial tasting and I didn't mind the frozen sago. I did also like the siumai. I wish there was were most sauce in the stuffed eggplant, and more seasoning for the salt & pepper squid. We actually also ordered the soup dumplings and honey walnut shrimp but never came out. We were really bummed considering it took forever for all of our food to come out. Our roast pork & squid came out first, then took like 15-20 minutes for the rest to come out (including the rice) I ended up ordering the mango drink to go and it took super long for it to come out like 20 minutes. The lady came up and asked if we got it yet and said no, then came out with it... Prices, seemed on the higher end. Would come back again for the all day dim sum. read more

Our friend brought us to Hong Kong Bistro while we were in town and I still dream about it! We waited about 30-40 mins on a Sunday around 11 am, and my first impression was that the restaurant was extremely spacious and clean. We ordered about 20 items for 5 people (left overs galore lol) and there were quite a few that were unique in comparison to our local dim sum restaurants - my favorite being the mushroom steamed rice rolls. The variety here really stands out, and I'll definitely be making Hong Kong Bistro one of my Seattle staples any time I come visit. read more

Ordered a couple items from the place, I would say overall, dim sum taste much better than the other dishes. They do have a few unique items, and highly recommend the pan fried taro cakes.

I would give it a 3.5 Environment: this was my first time having dim sum in Seattle. There were lots of seats and of course different sized tables but mostly bigger tables. Staff: they were friendly overall but it was slightly like a game of telephone as some of the bus boys we see all the time, we had to ask them for something because we can't find other servers. So they helped relay the message or find a server for us. Food: there were lots of things on the menu. If we had more people, we could've ordered some plates and not just dim sum. Anyways, the food slowly trickled in, not incredibly slow but we had to double check if they forgot our orders or not but there was only one person making all the rolls on a busy Saturday. Anyways, the food was fine but not authentic-sized. The ha gao was huge, like two people could share one as well as the siu mai. The other foods were good but not outstanding and wow I want to try again. I do however want to try their dishes next time as there were lots of Cantonese dishes that caught my eye. I'll come back some day haha. read more

Wow! We had a fantastic experience at Hong Kong Bistro! Even though it was super busy at lunch over a holiday weekend, we were seated quickly, only about a 10 minute wait. Service was fast and easy and we had questions about what to do and the staff was helpful and kind. We opted for only Dim Sum and no other entrees. We got the chow mein, bbq pork, sautéed string beans, fried shrimp dumplings, and pan fried pork buns. The star of the show was the friend shrimp dumplings!!! Everything was phenomenal. Clean, lots of searing. If you're in Seattle, you must come here! read more

Oh, I find the 3.5 star average a tad surprising. 3.5 is not high on Yelp and normally gives me some hesitation if I see that. And with the huge amount of dim sum in this area now, I dare say there's quite a lot of mediocre dim sum that end up with a 3.5 average. Everything I ate here was above average imo. Fen guo (chiu chow) - Nice texture on the wrap and the contents. The flour is quite stretchy, but I think that's ideal for this dumpling. Delicious and fun to eat as usual. Tofu skin roll - Warm, juicy, and delicious. Feet - Warm with great flavor. The skin pretty much falls off. Some places have the cold, hard, and slightly spicy ones, but I much prefer this kind. Noodles - I think the beef is just okay, but the overall texture and umami of the noodles is excellent. Duck - A lot of places make this kinda roast duck kinda dry. I like how this one was softer and juicier. Overall, I can find almost nothing to complain about. Didn't have any issues with service either. We were seated, ordered, and received food promptly. read more

Located in Chinatown, they open late and offer all-day dim sum! Stopped by on a Sunday night and it was busy, but we got seated quickly. Casual vibe. Large menu with many selections. They took our orders and brought out our food fairly quickly. This was the only dim sum place that we visited in Seattle and most of the dishes were pretty solid. Not sure how to compare the prices, but it's a bit pricier than most dim sum places I've been to in general (normally $5-7 a dish). Dim sum dishes here were around $7-8 each. $7.25 for 4 Shanghai (soup) dumplings that were very mid (thick skinned and not a lot of soup) was ridiculous. Even at Din Tai Fung (a classier spot known for soup dumplings) it is $17 for 10 in Los Angeles. So using that as a base, I would say the value wasn't there. read more
