Seafood, there are better options in Seattle, much better. :-( On the upside, HK Dim Sum sells baked cha siu bao, pot stickers, shrimp and chive dumplings and sticky rice chicken wraps in the refrigerated display in the the check out area. Honestly, the cha siu baos and potstickers are pretty good. On the big downside, they only have one or 2 check out lines open at any given time. It's not uncommon to spend 30 minutes in line waiting to check out. :-( On the upside, the produce people are helpful and the market is descent. So if you are looking for Chinese ingredients, except seafood and don't mind waiting a while to check out this is a good choice. It's than ** Ranch market several miles north on Aurora.

My ultimate comfort spot for over 20 years! I've been…read morecoming to this place for over two decades, back when a bowl of wonton noodle soup was just $5.50 (it's $15 now, but still worth every penny!). I remember the days when you'd see them sitting at the corner table, hand-folding wontons right in front of you. They've gotten so busy now that they do it in the back, and if you don't time your visit right, be prepared to wait in a long line. This is my absolute go-to combo on a chilly day, and honestly, the best hangover cure: Wonton Noodle Soup, Cod Fish Congee, Chinese Broccoli, and Chinese Donuts (Youtiao).You cannot skip the donuts--they are a must! My personal ritual is adding a splash of pink vinegar and chili paste into the congee, dipping the donut in, and taking a huge bite. It's pure comfort that warms you up from the inside out and instantly heals a tired soul. My husband prefers the beef wonton noodle soup because it's rich and hearty, but I love the classic, clean flavor of the plain wonton soup with its seafood-based broth. A quick heads-up: The service is typical for an authentic, bustling Chinese restaurant--don't expect fancy fine-dining treatment, but the staff is genuinely friendly and efficient. Also, **it's CASH ONLY**, so come prepared! Among the handful of restaurants I've stayed loyal to for 20+ years, this spot holds a very special place in my heart. Highly recommended!

I joined the line until one of the workers told us we can order online if we do not need a table and then you'll be pinged about 5mins later to go into the restaurant to pick up the order. Terrific. We did just that. There was a little wait for the to go order. We did the 4 top chowders so we can enjoy the variety. The restaurant was busy but it's memorial weekend Saturday so lots of ppl in the area. We found a spot to opened it all up. It came with some slices of sourdough bread, crackers. Great flavors. The original chowder is always the best. But we enjoy the other 3 flavors as well. So glad we got the variety

Came in Sunday around 6pm to a nearly empty dining room…read more The $29 steak salad arrived half medium, half raw (asked for medium-rare), with a pale colorless sear and a marinade so absent I had to salt every bite. The salad base and dressing were genuinely good, which made the steak more frustrating. The chicken pot pie soup special sounded exciting. It was just a thin runny cream soup, barely-there chicken, no puff pastry in sight. More disappointment per dollar. My boyfriend ordered the steak taco. Steak was just as flavorless and under-seasoned. The tortillas unpleasantly thick. Do not recommend and will not return unfortunately.

The Bainbridge Brewing facility at Coppertop (not the alehouse downtown), which is the facility…read morewhere the beer is brewed, is a nice place to hang for a beer or two, although it can get busy on weekend afternoons. It seems to be a favorite place for families to gather during those times, which can make finding a seat difficult. By early evening, most folks have cleared out, and it's pretty empty as the 9:00 hour approaches. We particularly like sitting upstairs since there's pinball close by (four machines), which we used quite a bit on our last visit. And, of course, there's their beer, which I love. My favorite is the Eagle Harbor IPA, their signature West Coast IPA. Their Kömmuter Kölsch is also one of my favorites (and likewise my girlfriend's favorite). I frequently buy cans of both to take home (which you can also buy at the Safeway on High School Road, and at the alehouse on Winslow near the ferry terminal).

Would love to come back next time I'm in the neighborhood!

There was no one there to greet us and looked like that they were still getting the dining room ready. The hostess did not come out until five minutes before seating time. I was kind of disappointed since this was supposed to be a special Easter brunch, but there was nothing to indicate that this was for Easter other than a few of the desserts. No Easter bunny, there are a couple Easter egg decorations on every table, but that was about it. Still, the ambience was good, a fancy brunch at a fancy hotel. The wait staff provided excellent service. The food was provided in a pretty good spread. The prime rib and the fresh oysters were probably the standout of the food. I don't know why they only have one person with two tiny hot plates to man the made to order station there for everyone. The family did like the desserts, they were very cute. My wife thought that they were too sweet, but that just means I like them a lot. All in all, it was a good brunch to experience once for a special occasion. No huge complaints here.
