With at least 100 menu items, this is the spot for any dim sum fanatic. Normally, I am wary of such a large menu, but of the ten things we tried, we enjoyed nine of them which is a high success rate! The menu has sections including steamed, fried, noodles, congee, vegetables, soups, desserts and more. Across the menu, we found traditional dim sum fare and some unique options that we normally don't see or that are spins on our favorites. Four of us came at 12:30P when the wait time was 15 - 30 minutes. We asked for a menu sheet so that we could start marking down the items that we wanted to order and that made the wait go by quickly! It was just 15 minutes before we received a ping that our table was ready and the host seated us on the left side of the restaurant, which has a quieter vibe and more space between the tables. Our waiter, Richard, poured our waters right away and after we placed our order, the food started arriving with one or two dishes at a time. In hindsight, our picks really emphasized our love of shrimp! + MIXED MUSHROOM RICE ROLL ($7.50 for 4): Ehh, I didn't like this. It was so bland and I didn't see much variation in the mushrooms either. It needed some salt at a minimum, and even adding a dab of chili oil couldn't save these. Pass! + PORK & SHRIMP WONTONS w/ HOUSE SPICY SAUCE ($10.50 for 6): A thin silky wrapper housed a small shrimp and pork meatball, making for a delicate and juicy wonton. The sauce was thin with a mild heat and touch of vinegar. + SHRIMP DUMPLINGS ($7.95 for 4): Super plump and filled with pure shrimp. The wrapper had the ideal chew and stretch. + PEA VINE & SHRIMP DUMPLINGS ($7.95 for 4): The pea vines didn't bring extra flavor to these shrimp dumplings, but they added nourishment! + HOUSE SPECIAL BBQ PORK BUNS ($7.50 for 3): Really good! The soft baked bun was filled with a scoop of minced BBQ Pork filling. The meat was pretty lean and didn't have any bits of gristle. The unique twist on these buns was their fine crumb topping, reminding me of a pineapple bun top. + DEEP FRIED STUFFED EGGPLANT w/ SHRIMP ($7.50 for 3): Despite being really oily, these were delicious! The shrimp filling was juicy and flavorful, sandwiched between two slices of eggplant. + CRISPY BEAN CURD ROLLS w/ SHRIMP ($7.50 for 3): Chopped shrimp sprinkled with veggies came wrapped in a super crispy bean curd shell. Loved this, but could feel the grease. + FRIED PEA VINES w/ GARLIC ($12.95): Tender fresh pea shoots with a slight crunch on the stems, and cooked with lots of garlic. Really good! + BEEF CHOW FUN ($13.50): This was as expected between the delicate rice noodles and tender beef. The sauce wasn't overly salty either, but the portion was on the small side for the price. + STEAMED MALAY SPONGE CAKE ($6.50): A nice light dessert. It was airy and not too sweet. The service as a whole was friendly, professional and attentive. Different waitstaff would walk by and pick up our empty plates often which was helpful since the food piled up fast! In general, many items come with three pieces, so for the four of us, we had to end up ordering double of a couple things. Our total was $122 before tip. For our leftovers, Richard gladly packed some ice in a cup, when we asked, which we placed in the insulated takeout bag that he provided. Overall, this was a tasty and elevated dim sum experience!

The food was really good. The ambiance was cozy, relaxing and clean. The service on the other hand; we were seated then they took our order and gave us the order and then we asked our bill. All the time we've been there I didn't really see our server or didn't even check on us even 1 time we still did gave 18% tip. Everything went well except for the service.

The wait!!!! then we ended up sit at the table that was empty the whole 20+ min we were sitting to wait for a table ....but the location! The conventionality of being in the mall waiting is not so bad ...just pondering the thought process behind an empty table while customer waits ... The food The atmosphere nice, clean, and upscale interior with a dimsum exp I somehow still miss my wait the cart to arrive so I can decide what to eat exp Will I come back? Depending on the wait time

Bean curd rolls
Maxine L.

3.5/5 would be the most accurate rating. Located at the exterior of the mall, parking is convenient and getting to the restaurant itself is very easy. The inside is pretty modern and spacious. My friend and I came on a Sunday morning (11:30) and were seated immediately. You order by marking dishes you want on their paper menu. I like their digital menu so you can see pictures too. We ordered the bean curd rolls, radish cake, pan fried meat and veg buns, steamed tripe, egg tarts, pea vines, and the house bbq pork buns. Stand out for me were the bean curd rolls and pea vines. The rolls are extremely thick and saucy. And the bean curd itself was thin and soft. Super yum. The pea vines were savory and garlicky. Hard to mess up. Radish cake, bbq pork buns, steamed tripe, and the pan fried meat and veg buns were not bad! Just average to me. Radish cake could've been a little crispier, steamed tripe could've been a bit more tender, the buns could've been juicier. I was fully disappointed by the egg tarts :c the tart part is nice and flaky, the egg custard is silky smooth, but there's a weird aftertaste to the filling that's very unpleasant. Overall, some goods some not so goods. Service was pretty fast and attentive. Price is quite high though. Don't think anything was worth the money.

Birthday lunch at Mr. Dim Sum! I went in with high hopes and left with a very full, albeit slightly underwhelmed, stomach. The food is perfectly "alright"--nothing was a miss, but nothing quite reached "damn, this is good" territory. Between the Salt & Pepper Pork Chop, Sho Mai, Shanghai dumplings, Hot & Sour Soup everything was technically sound, though my heart might still belong to DTF. The unrivaled star of the show was the Frosted Mango with Coconut Milk drink--creamy, fresh, and a 10/10. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit for the drink alone and a server who values your time as much as their word count!

I've tried just about every dim sum establishment in Seattle and the suburbs. I was truly impressed by the quality and taste of everything we ordered. Every dim sum item came out from the kitchen piping hot. The only downside is it's a little pricey and a lot more than I've ever paid for dim sum. Some of the dishes aren't dim sum size, and you don't have a choice but to order regular size. Although I really enjoy going to dim sum a lot, I'll save this place for special occasions. Not everyone can afford paying $13 for a small plate of bok choy.

New Dim Sum Restaurant alert!! As a dim sum lover, I was thrilled to hear a new restaurant opened. This is located at Southcenter Mall next to Gen and Marugame Udon! First impressions: Ambiance, Service, and Food (4.5/5) My dad and I visited on a Sunday around 12:30pm, we came in right before the rush and got seated within 10 minutes. There was plenty of seating and a large TV playing Sunday sports. Food was good and consistent. I wouldn't say it's outstanding, but it's nice to have a dim sum place outside of International District! I would rank this a tiny bit higher if you're a fan of tripe! I will be coming back!

Yu S.

Not bad at all. It feels more Americanized, but a lot of the items are quite good. I got a lychee mojito and loved it. The feet were large and meaty, and the flavor was excellent. As for the rice rolls on the bottom, they were okay. The radish cakes also had a great texture and I liked the sauce as well. These clearly used more radish and less flour, which led to a lighter, more agreeable taste. Tripe - Juicy and well-balanced umami. Fried....wonton....thing? - Good texture and flavor. Green beans - Not bad. Ribs - Standard flavor. Quite good. Noodles - Eeehh, we felt that this used too much onion and not enough bean sprouts or other ingredients. Overall, seems a bit cloying. This one definitely requires the chili sauce to enjoy.

Kai C.

A stellar experience. Reception was exceptionally friendly and we were seated quicker than the estimate. Space is clean and spacious, with interesting retro images of Guangdong (as this is Guangdong style). Large dimsum list handily divided up by category, i.e. rice rolls, steamed, etc. And a healthy list of dessert items which is rare in a dimsum place, I find. Tried the "purple potato" balls and holy taro sweetness, Batman. (well it's purple). Delicious sweet filled goodness (and hot! watch out!). Quality restaurant and food.

XO Radish Cake
Justin C.

Mr Dim sum is a good addition for dim sum options south of Seattle. There is a bunch of parking since it is located in Southcenter mall. They offer a lot of decent food options espcially if you don't want to travel farther into Seattle. I won't cover everything but there is a good amount of things I tried. There aren't carts so if you're looking for that I would say you'd need to go somewhere else. You do need more than 1/2 of your party to be seated so keep that in mind. Staff: Very nice and attentive (5/5) Sanitation status: Clean (5/5) XO Stir Fried Rice Roll & Radish Cake (5/5) The flavor was so good in these rice rolls. They had a little bit of a crisp on the outside from being stir fried and together with the green onion and onions made for a refreshing bite packed full of flavor. The radish cake wasn't as crsipy as I've had at other places but the flavor overall was there and I would order it again. Sui Mai (4/5) The Sui mai was good but nothing too special. The meat tasted like it was relatively fresh and there were bigger pieces of shrimp which I enjoyed. Pan Fried Shrimp and Chive Dumpling (4/5) The shrimp and chive dumplings were good here. Full of shrimp and chives that haven't been minced up which is important. Overall pretty solid if you like chives. Sticky Rice (4/5) The sticky rice was good, a bigger size. It had pork meat as well as chinese sausage inside. I typically like my sticky rice to have more sauce to the meat but it was still decent, nothing mind blowing but if you're looking for it then it'll do the job. Crispy Rice Shrimp Roll (5/5) This was definitely one of the more interesting options we tried here but I absolutely loved it. It had shrimp that was wrapped in crispy rice and the rice roll on the outside was infused with what tasted like matcha. Overall it made for a very cohesive bit in terms of having crispy but chewy and soft textures.

Really delicious dim sum! My son and I had an end of first semester (of High School) celebration lunch here and loved this spot. Every dish was well seasoned and prepared and prices seemed moderate for the area. It is a large, clean, attractive interior with easy parking as it's in a well established mall. The dishes are not delivered and ordered on carts, but are cooked to order and portions are generous. Our server Giselle was attentive and lovely. Definitely going to return! P.S. THE BEST soup dumplings I have ever had! Divine!

Mr. Dim sum, what can I say? Out of desperation, I relented. Service was less than stellar. They said the wait would be about 10-15 min. It was 23 minute in actuality. It was convenient to get a text. It was so late, I thought for sure it wouldnt be so bad. After we got seated at about 740, we didn't get our waters till 805. Crazy, right? We ordered and it took a while for the food as well. The food was just okay. I thought the portions were small and thought the chicken chow mein was different than what it was - which was just regular hk chow mein but with bits of chicken. The place is nicely decorated and simple.

I LOVE love LOVE Triumph Valley!! genuinely love at first bite. This is my go to spot for dim sum…read moreand it never disappoints. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and just hits every time. So many seats inside but Just a heads up: come early or be ready to wait, because this place is always packed. It's busy, a little chaotic, but 100% worth it. There's 20 Chinese aunties running around so please come with an open mind. No matter how long the wait gets, I'll always make time for my bookie pookie.

The food itself is high quality. The best pan-fried noodles I've had in a long time (aka chow mein,…read morechoose the crispy option). Dim sum is some of the best in the Seattle area. But they lose 3 stars from me because they use some kind of industrial strength cleaning chemical to wipe down the tables. Hard to enjoy your meal when all you can smell is the same chemical they use to mop the floors at QFC and in my apartment building. Seriously terrible chemical smell while you eat. If they are using a spray bottle to clean at the next table, you'll get a cloud of harsh cleaning chemical up your nostrils while you eat. I've had to rinse off and wiped down my own table with a napkin dampened with tea or water in order to enjoy my meal. When I mentioned this to staff, they were dismissive and haven't changed a thing in over a year when I first brought it to their attention. They should only be using something like quat sanitizer, that doesn't smell, to clean the tables. NOT something that is used for floors or bathrooms. and on a side note: if you decide to mop underneath another table while people are dining next to it, please say "excuse me" or just wait. Instead of almost hitting people in the head with a mop handle without saying a word. Also not great for a dining experience. I have worked in restaurants and F&B management. I know something about these things. You shouldn't use anything on a table for diners that you wouldn't use on a food preparation surface. How many times has a dumpling got away from you and bounced around on the table and you snag it and consume it, because you assume the table isn't being cleaned with floor cleaner? If you agree with me, please say something to the staff, and maybe they'll eventually listen. This is a real shame. The food quality is quite good. Probably best dim sum in South King County. I might just do take-out from now on. There are other high quality Chinese and Asian dining options, that's the bright side of living in this area. But if I'm doing takeout, I might as well just go to Dim Sum House on Beacon Hill (much more reasonable prices and good quality).

The restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall leading to ranch 99 (Asian supermarket). I've had this spot pinned on my Google Maps for the longest time but just never had the opportunity to make the drive there. This place was easy to miss if you don't look carefully so I'm glad I saw this recommended by a Seattle foodie I follow on instagram. We ordered the spicy braised beef noodles and steamed dumplings to share since we weren't that hungry. The braised beef noodles BLEW ME AWAY. The broth was so rich and savory, my mom commented that it tasted better than the one at din tai fung (we are frequent visitors & I agree) and the noodles were chewy (I love thick noodles!!). The dumplings were very juicy and flavorful but nothing too special. Service was prompt and servers were really friendly. There were so many other dishes on the menu featuring traditional Chinese dishes that looked delicious and so I do want to come back to try those when I am hungry! Definitely a hidden gem for good Asian food :)

This place is a true Seattle gem. After sampling the heavy hitters, I'm comfortable saying Dim Sum…read moreKing has the best dim sum around without going to Vancouver. Not only that, but it's also the most affordable with a price-per-piece around $1.35 for most items. The Siu Mai, BBQ Pork Bun, Custard Bun, and Shrimp Cheung Fun are personal standouts. With that said, this is not your typical dim sum restaurant. You'll find no leisurely rotating tables or endless pots of tea. Instead it operates more like a bakery, optimized for takeout. This seems to be a point of disconnect among other reviews here. Service is focused on efficiency, but you can take as long as you need to decide what you want by using the paper ordering sheet and referencing pictures on the wall. There are tables you can usually snag to dine in with, but expect everything to be boxed regardless. Go in understanding this, and you'll have an excellent time. overall 5+/5

Like the Food Walk itself, this place gets very crowded during peak lunch hours when they're open; every seat was taken and everyone else - myself included - got our goodies for takeout. You pay depending on how much you get; for example, one piece of siu mai is $1.30 each as of this writing. All other food items follow in a similar suit. We got the following: - Egg tart: my favorites though they have cookie crusts. I do prefer flaky crusts but the egg yolk has the right amount of sweet to balance the crust. - Siu mai: fresh and piping hot. Meat was also fresh and didn't have a weird aftertaste. - Green onion bun: each one is pretty big, and there's just enough green onions on them to distinguish between similar buns like the baked BBQ pork bun. - Sponge cake: didn't eat this myself but parents thought this was all right though a little too set. - Baked BBQ pork bun: my dad's favorite. BBQ pork is sweet and complements the bun itself. - Meat bun turnover (Shanghai pan-fried buns): I always like getting these in places like Din Tai Fung and Dough Zone. The ones here are even better, with a ton of filling in each bun and a nice crisp from the pan fry. A classic staple of Chinatown that serves awesome dim sum that edges out the competition pretty well considering dining in has gotten a lot more expensive lately! I see myself coming back a lot more, beyond the number of times I've gone here since high school, of course.
