Inside

I wanted to try this restaurant since I am a huge fan of Mee Sum pastry at Pike Place. I had their Roasted Duck with rice and I honestly didn't like it. The duck itself was good, however, they pour the sauce under the duck and it tasted too salty together. I wished they separated the duck and the soy sauce. The fried rice was good. The honey walnut shrimp was pretty good too. Each meal comes with egg drop soup and that was tasty as well. The service was decent. Other than the duck, the other dishes were made decently fast. You have to bus your dishes after finishing your meal. The ambiance was okay. Nothing too out of the ordinary. There was a nice fish tank though. Overall, I'm not sure if I'd come back.

Beef Brisket Chow Fun
Lesly W.

I always enjoy coming here when I'm on the Ave and craving some wholesome Cantonese/Taiwanese cuisine. I used to come here all the time when I was a student at UW. It's worth the trip to eat here when I'm hungry. I can eat a full meal plus get myself a bubble tea at the same time. They have a huge selection of dishes to choose from including a chef's special menu. My favorite dishes are the chow fun and braised brisket dishes. The HK style French toast is a must try! The servers and staff here are great. The food comes out quick. Betty, the manager, is friendly and will make sure you're a satisfied customer! It's a convenient location for college students and has a nice casual ambiance!

Mee sun is so good, easy five stars, but this location is slightly not as good. Since it's less crowded, there's less churn so not everything is fresh out the oven all of the time.

Super kind people working here! always so welcoming I swing by pretty much every day for lunch (sat/sun) to grab a BBQ pork bun or curry beef bun. They're super filling and honestly hit all the right notes, even nutritionally ;) Been coming here for months now, and they always light up when I walk in and grab like 5 or 6 buns Big thanks to MeeSum! I'm not going anywhere else!!!

Mongolian beef
Mark N.

Order takeout from Mee Sum . A friend of mine bought my lunch and I ordered Mongolian Beef. This lunch wasn't too bad. The Mongolian Beef was cooked very good. The beef was very tender. The only thing about this order is the price was way too high for lunch special. Other than that it was very tasty.

Complimentary soup
Naomi J.

Servers were very kind (service 5/5 stars) and the restaurant was pretty quiet at noon on a Friday (ambiance 5/5 stars). If you were looking for food of a similar quality to what Panda Express serves, this is restaurant is a great place for you to try! Similar prices, similar quality, and slightly more authentic. The noodles (3/5 stars) were on the greasy side but I loved the fresh crisp scallions, onions, and sprouts. The original milk tea (4/5 stars) was phenomenal tea, maybe the best I've had in U district, but the boba was overcooked. I appreciated the free soup (3/5 stars) but it tasted like it came from a box.

Veggie bun bao
Peka G.

Me Sum was a delight to try. Customer service was really welcoming and friendly. The pastry I got was so delicious on the outside it was a little crispy but then buttery on the inside. I wasn't a huge fan of the pineapple in the veggie roll but the sweetness reminded me of bbq pork bao that I liked. The Singapore noodles were a little underwhelming we wish they had more flavor but the texture and temperature was perfect. The broccoli was low on flavor as well but lots of crunch. The egg rolls were my favorite of the three, they were great I wish I had ordered more. I would personally adventure more in the rolls and bao/buns because they taste most authentic and delicious. It's a welcoming, warm, and yummy smelling cafe.

Pork Chop Meal
Ellie W.

This review is based on order via UberEats experience. I ordered Pork Chop Meal for lunch, and to my surprise, the portion was quite big. For the price $16 during these days, I think it's a good deal. The pork chop was crispy and tasty. The pork chop was chopped into small pieces, so it was easy to pick up. The meal also came with stir fry vegetables, which was also very delicious. There were braised pork sauce and pickled daikon over the rice. That's exactly how an authentic Taiwanese Pork Chop Meal should present. Because of its big portion, I was able to divide it into two meals. Two meals for $16 is a bargain. I will definitely try other food from Mee Sum. Nothing in Seattle can beat its price/portion. Plus, it was delicious. The only reason that I didn't give them 5 stars is that they forgot to include utensils despite of my request. Otherwise, it was a perfect meal.

Deluxe Pork Belly Over Rice
Carol L.

Located on the Ave in Udistrict, Mee Sum is always bustling with students looking for a meal. Mee Sum is a quick and casual Chinese food joint with cheap eats and large portions. We ordered the deluxe pork belly over rice which comes with a braised egg and the pork chop meal, which comes with rice, cabbage, and soup. The pork chop meal was OK as the pork chops weren't too crispy by the time we got home (an unfortunate consequence of takeout) and the soup was pretty bland. The pork belly was really delicious, but the braised egg lacked flavor. The portion was huge though! You order and pay at the counter, then take a number and any available table. We opted for takeout this time as there is no parking and the interior of the restaurant was not the cleanest.

Deluxe Pork Belly Over Rice
Kelly P.

The food is delicious and it also comes out very fast. The portion sizes are generous as well! The chicken in both the popcorn chicken meal and the chicken chow fun are super tender and flavorful. The fried tofu was seasoned well and the sauce went well with it. They also give you soup for dine in and they also offer it even if you're getting take out.

Chow Fun (Chicken/Beef/Veggie) & Taro Milk Tea
Emily V.

The food was sooo delicious and at such a good price! The service was very quick, and all of the staff is very kind and helpful. The restaurant is clean and well kept. If in udistrict, come here for amazing boba, pasteries, and food.

Popcorn Chicken Meal
Jasmine N.

this restaurant is the same chain from the location at pike place. we ordered the taiwanese popcorn chicken and it really hit the spot for me. the chicken was crispy and flavorful and the rice had minced meat as well.

Mushroom Pork Over Rice, pineapple bun, bbq pork fried rice
Carrot T.

Food was bland and dry. The workers were clearly bias against non Cantonese speakers. Even though the workers spoke good English, they gave the Cantonese customers sitting around us water and refills but not us. Then they would walk past us to ask everyone else how their food was. They also gave us no condiments like chili oil and forgot to make our drink.

Ordered salted egg prawn. Not as I expected, it was soggy and the prawns were not peeled, and no flavor just fishy.

A tiny place with big portion and authentic food…read more We came here on a Sunday afternoon, the restaurant was almost fully packed. I had my all time favorite dish at a Hong Kong café cuisine, gon caau ngau ho (乾炒牛河), aka beef chow fun, along with a childhood favorite drink, iced Horlicks. I liked how everything moved at a quick pace here and yet the staff were still friendly. The best part was that no one stopped by to ask how the food was while your mouth was full, because they already knew the food was good. The beef chow fun was just as good as the ones back home. It was savory and full of wok hei (iykyk). The bean sprouts were added at just the right time, so they were still a slightly crunchy. The sliced beef was tender too. If you like adding extra spice, be sure to try the crunchy chili sauce on the table. It was awesome, fragrant, spicy, and full of flavor. Just be careful not to choke on it, I did, and it wasn't fun. I hadn't had Horlicks in twenty years, and the first sip brought back so many memories. Be sure to stir it well and maybe wait until the ice melts a little, otherwise it may be slightly too sweet. My partner is a vegetarian. He looked through the entire menu and said there weren't many things he could order (listen, people, choose your future SO accordingly if you like sharing big meat dishes). He ended up ordering the curry vegetable rice and added a fried egg. He said the curry was delicious. I tried a bite of it and agreed. I think there may have some coconut milk in it because it was rich and creamy. The rice was a little too dry to my liking. Sitting there and listening to the background music from the Hong Kong TV news, I felt like a kid again.

Parking in ID can be difficult on the weekends, so try to come on weekdays if possible! Help out…read moreall the restaurants in this area! Quick service, free hot tea in plastic cups (a classic), and chili oil at the table. Ask for white pepper btw! Depending on your taste, I like adding white pepper to my fried rice, chow fun, and soup. Wonton soup: the wontons are huge and filled with pork and shrimp. The soup however was kind of sour? Not sure what they added in, but the flavor of the broth was not my favorite. There's so much good wonton soup in the area! I wish this broth was better and more savory. Beef chow fun: pretty tasty and the beef was pretty tender. There was no work hei, so didn't have that distinct flavor Half chicken bone in: this was surprisingly our favorite dish! Steamed chicken with a ginger oil. The ginger made this dish and the chicken was very tender. The chicken comes cold so eat it with some rice and it's the perfect combo

We ordered the Mixed Basket Xiao Long Bao, Lychee Sweet & Sour Pork Tenderloin, Stir fry Chow Mein…read moreNoodles with Chicken. The Chow Mein had a wonderful Wok Hei flavor and the chicken was juicy and tender. It was our favorite of the dishes. The Mixed Basket Xiao Long Bao was super fun to be able to try them all and pick your favorites. Mine was the wagyu beef, the original pork and the truffle. I was kind of sad that they didn't include soy vinegar and chili oil. I feel that those things enhance the Xiao Long Bao. The Lychee Sweet & Sour Pork Tenderloin I was most excited about. Unfortunately, it was the worst dish. The flavor was great. I love that it had lychee in it, but the breading was mush, and the pork was so hard and overcooked. It was inedible. Because of that dish and not including the condiments is my three star review.

We came across the Seattle restaurant week menu and just had to try it. It was $50 for two people…read more We happened to go on the first day of restaurant week so luckily we made a reservation because it got a bit busier around dinner time. The wontons were good, but the chili sauce was the star. It was numbing and a little minty feeling. It was really great over the fried rice, which didn't stand out to me but was good to pair the dishes with. The crab and pork soup dumplings were sooo tasty, I would definitely get them again. The prawns we got were also great, I really enjoyed the crunchy coating and extras that came with it. I really enjoyed the space and food, I will definitely be coming back!

I had been meaning to check Tai Tung out, and having a group is a great opportunity to try a variety of dishes family style. We ordered the fried chicken wings, half peking duck, beef chow fun, beef in oyster sauce (Bruce Lee's favorite), crab fried rice, and noodles with tofu (one girl had to be healthy!) The food was solid and nostalgic. It reminded me of the kind of Chinese food I would get in the 80s and 90s when we went out for Chinese food in New Jersey. We stayed, talking, until the restaurant closed. As my friends packed up and said their goodbyes, the staff noticed me looking around at the different tables. I wanted to find Bruce Lee's favorite table, which I had seen on online reviews of Tai Tung. The staff member very proudly brought us all into the next room, turned on the lights, showed us the photos on the wall, and told us about the history. We got a history and culture lesson with our meal. Best of all, our friends all congratulated me on the "great find!" of a restaurant, and isn't that the kind of validation every Yelper wants?
