Harbor City is amazing. Not only in the outstanding & friendly service, but the food (dim sum) is…read more10/10 in my personal opinion. I'm one picky 70yr. old who knows fresh dim sum from frozen. Since moving to Tacoma area from King County, I missed my dim sum from international district aka Chinatown. Harbor city brought back the flavor & I'm so thankful. Most of the places that served some dim sum out this way, you can tell were frozen and low quality. As for the Ambiance... well I have to admit, they do deserve a much better place. When looking on the outside, it's hard to imagine how good their food is. Yet again, I always told my children and grandchildren ... it's always the small & hole in the wall places that can be the best to eat at.

Came for dinner last night and it was everything I expected. When they first opened this location,…read moreI had tried it and there were a couple of environmental things (it was super cold inside) that I didn't like, so I waited to do this review to fix some of the issues. The food is still top notch and the service is speedy. But the restaurant is now very warm. The floors are really slippery so be careful, but it's a nice fast paced Chinese restaurant you can get dim sum instead of the normal yum cha times of seattle Chinatown. If you want really good Chinese food at breakneck speeds, want to feel like you're at your Chinese ma's house as she's yelling at the kids in the background, this is it! We even had a loud Chinese conversation that I had to tell my husband "shes not angry, just very busy and trying to get orders out". The only annoying thing is their uber eats notification is consistently on fire. Dinged enough to notice it through the entire meal.

The restaurant is decorated nicely. Our server was friendly, and we got our food quickly. The food was really good! I prefer egg foo young with a thick gravy, and this place hit that mark. The orange chicken was also good; it had a nice crunch while also having a good amount of sauce. We will definitely go here again.

We also had many of their other dishes like noodles, fried rice, and veggie platters, but I had to list a few of my favorites.

Anyone that claims this place is even edible has never had the pleasure of eating good Chinese. Save your money and avoid this place. The dinner was suppose to come with soup, they clearly state you will not get soup if you take your order to go! Rude! I asked if I could please have my soup as I was waiting for the order and I was told "absolutely not" Never again, too many good Chinese places to even consider this mediocre place at best.

I definitely shouldn't have thought jajangmyeon as my first option but I was also super hungry and it was the cheapest thing on the menu, while I was also thinking it wouldn't take that long. Plus they were open early which was great as we were in the area around 10am! When we arrived, there was a older gentleman who greeted us then looked like he was prepping for the day. He can speak Korean and English just fine too. Once we were ready, we placed an order of jajangmyeon and egg rolls and he brought us out banchan. I did ask for more daikon but he seemed to have forgotten or maybe left as his daughter was there delivering food, tea and taking orders. She was a lot more attentive, she would check in on customers and was very friendly! Also it turns out that my boyfriend's friend who he has known since high school was that female employee, so for those saying the owners have changed, they have not. There is plenty of seating at this food court as well as other options from sushi, Korean food and and this spot that serves Korean-Chinese food. The lighting here is a bit dark but it is light enough to take different photos. It's not too cold nor hot either. You can also leave your plates, utensils and trash on the table and someone will come get it. The jajangmyeon was really good, I was surprised as I feel like there aren't too many places that have good jajangmyeon in Lakewood but I can say it is way better than the other places that serve in the area. I usually don't scoop up the sauce but it was actually really good. They offer kimchi, onion and daikon for their side dishes which I think is perfectly fine. They do offer refills and when I asked for more daikon, the kind female employee even gave me extra vinegar. My boyfriend said the egg roll was pretty good too. We look forward to coming back!

While they call themselves an Asian buffet place, there was enough American food for any picky eaters. My five year old had a blast tasting everything. He ate several helpings and cleaned every single plate. Things we ate and recommend trying - 1. Sushi - very good variety, enjoyed most of the rolls. 2. Baked Clams - Mwaah! so good - this would be my favorite! 3. Soup and noodles from the live station - turned out very flavorful. 4. Many variety of deserts but the Creme Brelee was particularly good. 5. Kids will love the chocolate mountain with marshmallows. 6. Lots of variety of fish, pasta, and chicken dishes - all tasted very good. This buffet is a steal for the weekend prices compared to other places and for the amazing spread they offer. Kids are priced by age which in my opinion is the most reasonable thing to do. Plenty of parking - so no concern over there and plenty of seating inside - no matter when you go, you should be able to get in without wait time for small parties. Super kid friendly in terms of food and flavors - enough to work with picky eaters.
