    Stir Fried String Beans
    Jon O.

    Decent dumpling restaurant in the heart of downtown Kirkland. Our favorites were the tasty egg fried rice, and the string beans with savory mushrooms and carrots. XLB was pretty good though not as good as some other places, and the wrapping broke on several as we lifted them up. Wontons were also decent though more spicy than flavorful, but the truffle roll was dry and made me wish for a dipping sauce like hoisin to complement. The menu is expansive so I wouldn't mind going back to try other things, but I feel like this wasn't a "supreme" experience given the price is similar to you-know-who. Also on the plus side, the service was very friendly and quickly cleared out our empty plates. Great location with plenty of parking options on the streets and in lots.

    Food was good - fried rice is similar to DTF in that they thoroughly mix the egg into the rice, the spicy xiao long bao was interesting with good skin to filling ratio, and the pork chop was well done too! The restaurant is well decorated and feels clean, which is always a plus for me, but the service is a little slow. Parking is all paid and is lacking, but if you do find a spot, it'll be a good stop because you can also visit the nearby park within a short walk.

    Carolyn was the young lady waiting on us. Great service, good way better than din tai and dough zone. Came for an early dinner because the freeway is a madhouse right now. The place is small but quaint. I heard it's normally busy, but right now it wasn't busy. Our faves were the xio long bao for sure, but everything was good also. Drove from lent but it was worth the drive. The 405'was closed so it took us 2 hrs. But normally it's only a 45 min drive from our house. Will be back.

    Coming to Supreme Dumplings is always a highlight! We had a big group of six this past weekend, so we ended up waiting about an hour for a table. It was honestly worth it, though, especially since a few people in our group had never been before and we were all excited to try it together. Since I've been several times, I was really eager to try some things I hadn't had yet. One of the newer items to me was the Chicken Xiao Long Bao, which feature a bright yellow dough so you know they're chicken. They were so tasty! We also tried the Stir-Fry String Beans for the first time. They were cooked perfectly, and I loved that they had mushrooms and carrots mixed in--it made the dish feel really fresh. The rest of the meal was outstanding as always. We stuck with our usuals, too, like the Supreme Tan Tan Noodles and the Spicy Pork Wontons. We're such huge fans of this place and can't wait for the new Redmond location to open up!

    We stopped by this location a little after lunch and there was no line! These dumplings were good, thin skin, flavors packed in the meat and a good amount of soup. The spicy wontons were a little too spicy for me. It paired very well with the fried rice. Everything was really tasty and not salty which was perfect. There was a line of street parking and other streets as well. We luckily found a spot but it could be challenging. There were paid parking lots nearby. Interior was spacious and classy, highly recommend.

    Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Don't skip on: Xiao Ling Bao, Pan fried dumplings, Pork Chop Fried Rice, Lychee Beer Wow! This was my first visit to Supreme Dumplings and it was wonderful!! They mirror a lot of the same offerings as Din Tai Fung, but without the long wait times. We got the Xiao Long Bao, Pan fried dumplings, pork chop fried rice, truffle fried rice, green beans, spicy wontons, cucumber salad, and herb chicken. Everything was delicious! They also have a good variety of cocktails, beers, and non alcoholic drinks. I was blown away by the lychee beer - I've never had it before! Highly recommended if you like lychee flavoring. The staff were very friendly and did a great job accommodating our group of 11, and everything came out so fast. The space was well kept and visually appealing when we first walked in. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

    Pork chop fried rice.  Sooo good and satisfying

    Looking for soup dumplings and wanted to try something new outside of our usual Dough Zone or DTF so we decided to give Supreme Dumplings a try and it did not disappoint. we were quickly seated and settled into the menu. * Pork XLB. They were hot, juicy, full of soup and flavorful. Did not disappoint and we ordered a couple more trays. * Pan fried XLB. This was ok. Had a good crispy bite to it, but lacked the juice. Would rather have another tray of the steamed XLB. * Truffle mushroom roll.....this was my favorite dish and wow did it leave an impression. i could eat this all day everyday. * Porkchop fried rice was a great dish and we enjoyed this a lot. Reminds me of the DTF version a lot. Overall Supreme Dumplings can hang with the big boys and we will add this to our rotation for soup dumpling spots.

    The packaging and design is gorgeous and I coveted this bag.

    Today I saw the takeout bag from Supreme Dumplings in Kirkland 120 Park Ln, 98033. So I decided that I would go try the food. My first impression of the establishment is that it is very cozy tucked in, and among a very happening area of Kirkland. I was greeted with a smile, and welcomed to the restaurant. The restaurant was very busy with people lunching, but the group of five was seated in less than a couple of mins. The atmosphere is lively and the staff appeared to be very friendly and efficient. This would be a great place to have lunch with friends after exploring the area. Parking is going to be a bit tight near the restaurant, but there's a parking garage within walking distance. I ordered the Chicken Xiao Long Boa, which was quite tasty (8) pcs. I have it in good authority from the other foodie in the office that the Xiao Long Hair is the business! Yum

    We always like supreme dumpling. We normally go to the Bellevue location. But since we were around kirkland, so let's go. The restaurant is much spacious. We reserved via yelp. We ordered: Supreme pork Xiao Long bao Mini pan fried dumplings Spicy imperial braised beef bun Pork chop fried rice Stir fry seasonal veggie with garlic Black sesame mochi rice ball 3ct - peanut and matcha Everything tasted delicious as usual Service is outstanding. Super friendly.

    Cucumber salad
    Emily B.

    The pan fried mini pork dumplings genuinely changed my life. Also the cucumber salad is perfectly spicy and garlicky, a perfect cold complement to the hot dumplings! I come here almost every time I'm in Kirkland and never regret it.

    Supreme Tan Tan Noodles
    Bridget H.

    We had another great meal at Supreme Dumplings in Kirkland tonight! I tried the Spicy Imperial Braised Beef Bun, and it was absolutely wonderful--full of rich, flavorful filling and wrapped in bread that was both unique and delicious. Definitely a standout dish! We also ordered the Spicy Cucumber Salad and the Tan Tan Supreme Noodles. The cucumber salad packed a serious spicy punch--my friend really enjoyed it, though it was a bit too fiery for me. As for the Tan Tan noodles, they were okay, but not something my friend would order again. The service was excellent--quick, attentive, and friendly without being pushy. It's a tough balance to strike, and they really got it right. It makes the whole experience more enjoyable when the staff is on point like that. This isn't our first time here, and we keep coming back for a reason. The Hot and Spicy Soup is fantastic (we brought some home for lunch tomorrow), and I've had the dumplings before--also amazing! We'll definitely be back again.

    Little disappointed at this place. It had a few interesting items on the menu but did not taste very authentic, at least not competitive to Dough Zone (also in the same town). The dishes were quite at two ends, a few were very good while a few were below the average. (See in photos)

    When I was running my own restaurant, I often told my team: if a place has exceptional service but…read moremediocre food, it will still get good reviews; if the food is extraordinary but the service is terrible, it will inevitably get bad reviews. However, when both service and food exceed expectations, a restaurant becomes an industry benchmark. Service: The service here was truly, exceptionally outstanding. A friend brought me here today--he had only been to this restaurant once before--yet every single staff member remembered him, and even remembered what he had ordered last time! They were genuinely thrilled to see him return. The pacing of the dishes and the check-ins during the meal were both spot-on. Ambiance: A classic Cantonese restaurant atmosphere--full of character, dignified, and rich with Chinese design elements. The seating is comfortable, the restaurant is impeccably clean, and the management is clearly top-notch. Food: Great value for money, with very reasonable pricing. The fried rice was loaded with rich ingredients and seasoned to absolute perfection. The seafood tofu was mild in flavor and made with fresh ingredients--perfect for children. The green beans were fresh and had just the right level of spice. As one of China's Eight Great Culinary Traditions, Cantonese cuisine is defined by its freshness: fresh ingredients, vibrant flavors, and fresh execution. Preparing Cantonese food is far more trouble than people realize; because of the complex preparation, strict standards for ingredients, and a low yield rate, true quality is hard to achieve. Since this restaurant is run entirely by a team of Cantonese chefs, I believe it is ultimately their passion that drives their success.

We ordered shrimp rice roll, har gow, football, shrimp with eggplant, shrimp with bell pepper, spare rib, Xiao long bao, sautéed pea tips, chicken feet, meatballs, shrimp and chive dumplings, tripe, and mango pudding. I really liked the filling in the football, which contained ground pork and mushrooms, not so much the flour for the outer layer. I also liked the tripe, pea tips, and chicken feet. They were delectable. Other than that, it seemed a bit plain. I didn't really like the chili oil they used, it was more like a sambal. I'm glad we ended with the mango pudding for dessert. The mold for it was so cute. Hopefully next time I come here they change up the chili used.

    Absolutely AMAZING. First visit today and already started planning our next one before we even left…read morethe table. We were craving soup dumplings and wanted to venture somewhere new outside of our usual West Seattle orbit. So naturally, we chose to make the drive during peak rush hour. Completely worth it. The vibe here is ridiculously cute, and the playlist had both guests and staff singing along lyrics to songs I probably haven't heard in a decade. (Hellogoodbye & all American rejects?! Yesssss) And for the food we started with FULL HEAT: Szechuan Spicy Xiao Long Bao -- AMAZING flavor and definitely packs a punch. So hot, but so addicting. Far exceeded expectations. I want to live inside one of these lil fire balls of magic Hot & Sour Soup -- We added extra spice and it was perfect. It's also a generous portion which is shocking for $7.50. It came out first and we knew after the first bite that the rest of the meal was going to be awesome Spicy Shrimp & Pork Wontons -- not too spicy, great flavor and very meaty. At one point, our server came by to refill our sodas and asked, "How is everything, spicy?" And yes. Yes, it was. Though nothing lingered too long and the heat did not overpower the flavor of any of the dishes. All was perfectly balanced. Our server came to the rescue with her recommendation for the Mini Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings. Imagine a soup dumpling that decided to put on a crispy little jacket. SO GOOD. And a huge shoutout to Melyna, who was absolutely phenomenal. She knew the menu inside and out, was incredibly sweet, and was somehow always two steps ahead when it came to service and prebussing. She was attentive and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Honestly, this was easily the best service I've had in Seattle since moving here from Los Angeles. I know there's a location closer to where I live, but after this visit, we definitely fell in love with this spot. Thank you Melyna for making an already great meal even better!

Also parking can be bad since parking lot here is full all the time. Food is great though. I usually get sichuan xiao long bao, truffle xiao long bao. I tried wagyu xiao long bao this time which was just okay for the price you are paying. I would prob skip next time. My go to is dan dan noodles and egg fried rice and chili wonton. I tried their spring beans and they were pretty decent! I would say all the food i've tried so far is pretty good, and I would like to try different dishes.

The store is a little different now that Rooster & Rice has taken over some of the kitchen. In the ordering area, the left two kiosks are solely for Rooster & Rice, while the right three kiosks are for Xiao Chi Jie and Bento Bliss. The menu is drastically shortened, with all the Mila products and the Jianbing being removed. Honestly not a bad removal given how mediocre I thought they were. And surprisingly, pricing ($12.99) for the 5pc Sheng Jian Bao hasn't increased in the almost 2 years since my first visit. Their method of cook is traditional, bunching a large number of bao together with oil and water in an oversized and specialized pan just for this dish (with the required cover for steaming, of course). The quality remains the exact same as my first visit - good amount of fatty interior rendered aspic, strong umami and aromatic flavoring on the pork meatball filling, and a nice thin doughy skin. It's a very solid SJB, and probably the best that can be found in the Seattle metro.

When we got there at noon, the place was completely barren, nary a customer in sight. Not promising. Service at Peony is not good. While a couple of other parties walked in during our visit, the dining room was never particularly busy and the single waiter on staff could easily have taken care of all of us. First strike - one person in our party asked for no ice in their soda. Guess what appeared? A cup full of ice. Second strike - water refills were never delivered during the entire meal. It's literally a carafe, not even individual water cups. Third strike - we sat close to 20 minutes after finishing our meal waiting for the check. Not a single employee was seen in the dining room during this entire time span. The food at Peony is just as poor as the service. Chicken Chow Fun ($25) - This is the saucy and wet type of chow fun, smothered in a Chop Suey-style brown goop gravy that looks downright unappealing after congealing into a wet puddle underneath the noodles. Depending on brand/type, the wide rice noodles used for Chow Fun can come stacked. The cook separates them out and cuts to size for service. In Peony's case, the cook was so lazy that they didn't even perform the basic separation step, resulting in large mounds of noodles, several 3 or 4 thick, glued together in a gloopy mess. Even with all the noodle overlap, somehow they are completely overcooked to the point of being mush. The dish in general is unbalanced. The focus on the dish should be on the noodles and the flavor of the wok hei (which, to their credit, is there). The meat is essentially an accompaniment to add spice and variety. This dish, on the other hand, has far too much meat, with the chicken adding up to perhaps 75% the mass of the dish as a whole. The meat is cut into uneven chunks and is lazily thick cut into large pieces. The one positive is that the chicken is tender. (1/5) Beef Chow Fun ($25) - This dish is somehow worse than the chicken despite the only change being a difference in protein. The chef was even lazier with this dish, with the noodles in almost all cases being 6 or even 7 layers thick. Seriously just take a look at my photo. This is by far the worst rendition of beef chow fun I've ever eaten. (1/5) Bacon with Chinese Cauliflower ($25) - As with the above two, this dish is extremely sloppy. The cut on the cauliflower isn't made with any particular care. It's like they just randomly started chopping the head up, creating pieces that most Chinese restaurants would be embarrassed to serve to guests. Throughout the dish, we found cauliflower pieces where the delicate top florets were hacked off, leaving only the woody stem and the branching connections. The cauliflower itself is somewhat (but not severely) undercooked leaving some thicker pieces to a hard crisp snap. It's mixed with pieces of both Chinese sausage and Chinese bacon, but neither are wok seared or crisped up in any fashion. If I had to guess, I'd say they were steamed until soft and tender, which is not enjoyable in this dish. The cauliflower is then doused in the same brown goop that infests the chow fun. (2/5) Firecracker Tofu ($26) - They use extra firm tofu for this dish and don't cook it long enough, leaving the cubes mealy, crumbly, and dry on the interior. The fry is decent, giving a somewhat crisp skin but the interior texture is not good. It's not spicy despite the name. (2/5) Spicy Crispy Fish Fillet ($30) - This was the only dish without any deep technical issues. They use the same batter as the tofu and then fry. The fish is actually tender and moist on the inside, although there's a slight fishy taste. The fish is dressed with fried crunchy bits, but they seem to have been sitting for a while given the soggy texture. (4/5) Peony Kitchen's slogan is plastered all over their takeout bags: "The Best Chinese Restaurant in Bellevue™" (They seriously trademarked this). I beg to differ. Not only is Peony not the best Chinese restaurant in Bellevue, it's not even the best Chinese restaurant on the block. I'd pick Dough Zone across the street 10 out of 10 times. Maybe the mention of Dough Zone isn't fair since Peony is an Americanized Chinese restaurant. But I don't have a problem with American Chinese food. I have a problem with food using piss poor preparation and technique (not to mention severely overpriced), and that is exactly what Peony serves. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms down a dark hallway. During initial service the lights were turned off and I had to use my phone flashlight to locate the switch. Note: Peony Kitchen has an 18% service charge. This is disclosed on the menu. Food: [2/5] Service: [--] Other: [-] Final Rating: 2/5

    I am leaving 5 stars bc I don't want to hurt their business. However my true review is that the…read morePeking duck takes a VERY LONG TIME. We ordered other dishes, which came and we ate. And then we waited another 45 minutes for the duck. We were already full by the time it came out. With that said, the duck was tasty. Just be aware they have not yet sorted out their service aspect. My true rating would be 3 stars for that reason. Even after the Peking duck came, no one seemed to care or apologize for how long it took. One more note: the wrapper/cucumber/scallion etc is only a few pieces. How do they expect you to enjoy Peking duck without the wraps to enjoy the entire duck they carved. Considering the 45 minute wait between dishes, they could have comped some more wraps. But they did not. The service was also very poor as they barely checked on us during the long wait.

    Okay, this is not your grandfather's Baron's. Something has changed. Every year or so my family…read moredrives over to Bellevue for their Beijing Duck. In the past we would order other dishes just for a little variety but not because they were delicious. That's no longer true. The menu is expanded. There's lots of choices besides the duck that are worth ordering. Well, worth is another question. Nothing is inexpensive. The cost of the duck, plus tax and tip might be enough for a meal at another restaurant! I lived in Beijing for most of the 1980s. During this time foreigners like me were still considered honored guests so I often was invited to eat 北京烤鸭。Roast duck. For most Chinese, eating this is a rare treat for special occasions. Baron's duck is as good as any I have eaten in Beijing. Unfortunately until yesterday it was the only good dish there. They must have a new chef. In addition to duck, we had 干炒牛河、wagu beef, sea bass and a shrimp dish. All excellent. The place was very busy. Lovely ambience, a bit different from many other Chinese restaurants, which appear to want to express that they want to put their money into the food, not the decor. Actually I believe the owner is not Chinese and most of the servers weren't either. Speaking of service, it was just okay. For the price you could expect more. It may be not for another year or two, but we'll be back.
