Weird name, but perhaps the best dimsum Eastside, very much like NYC Chinatown. The weak flavor of cilantro though tells me at least the 蝦餃 haa-gao were frozen. Every table has a QR code on the lazy susan, so anyone at the table can order, either individually or for the group tab. Upon sending, the kitchen can drop orders right onto the steamers. Waitstaff can answer questions, but need only deliver the food, fill tea and water, and clean tables. Simplifying and speeding service delivery also helps keep costs down. They've now expanded into another dining room on the other side of the building. Both use the same entrance, but merely expecting to see your party might leave one confused. read more

Too Gun is probably my favorite dim sum place I've tried so far in Wa (I'm picky and have been spoiled by dim sum in Las Vegas, New York and SF) I've tried so many dim sum places in this state and many missed their mark but this place has very good quality dim sum! My mom and I went in right at opening time in a weekday and were both pleasant surprised by the quality of the dishes. My favorite dish (chewing fun/shrimp rice noodle roll) was very fresh. I also loved the duck and the baked goods including pineapple bun (I usually don't like the custard once but this one was not as gooey as it usually is) and bbq bun - the bread was sooooooo soft. The fact it was already so busy at opening time on a weekday really says a lot! I'm sure it's pretty crazy during the weekends... My small nitpick would be the service and ordering. You order through your phone using a QR code but the reception was really bad for me and they don't have WiFi for guests. We were able to put in an order with a waiter but that took a while. The food is worth it tho! read more

We want to love this place, but the quality of food has gone way down. Lots of staff from our former Bellevue dim sum fave that closed- on 140th Don't love the QR code table side order, miss the carts, end up ordering the wrong thing half the time Best things to order: sticky rice, crispy shrimp, footballs read more

Found this restaurant for a big dinner gathering. Haven't eaten here yet. Looking forward to trying them out. read more

Pretty bad service. This place isnt even busy and they make me wait almost an hour for an ordee of fried rice. At first they said 10 minutes. Then 20 minutes later they tell me 5 minutes. Now its been another 20 minutes after that and im still standing here waiting. And they just say sorry. I dont think they are going to serve me food here. Im sad because its father's day. This is the second asian restaraunt ive tried today. Why are they treating me so bad today? read more

We came in for dinner and I was hit with a wave of nostalgia. I haven't found a Chinese restaurant that reminds me of old-school family dining. The shareable plates and lazy Susan made passing food easy and authentic. The staff were friendly and were seated quickly. Just before the dinner rush around 5:30pm. Ordering was easy with a QR code, and our food came out quickly. Everything was delicious and flavorful. At the end of our meal, we received a complimentary dessert, refreshing was to end our savory dinner. I would definitely come back! read more

Solid old fashioned Chinese. Good break from all the schezuan restaurants that have spread through Bellevue. Did takeout again. Packaged very well. Nothing gourmet here. House fried rice is very satisfying. The pot stickers are ok, but are large and doughy. We enjoy the moo shu chicken. The chicken with black bean sauce is enhanced by the bell pepper. Not fancy, but you'll be satisfied! read more

Top Gun Restaurant is an institution in Factoria. While it's not the most elegant Chinese food you'll ever have and it's a bit more expensive than it probably needs to be - it is consistently solid. They're open early until late, portions are generous, and the food is reliably satisfying. Honestly, I can't really complain. It's my old reliable spot for dim sum or Cantonese takeout in the area. They also updated the interior so it's more modernized and seats more guests. Just a FYI: parking is a total fiasco, so plan accordingly. read more

Good food, fast paced service in a typical Chinese dim sum setting. Reliably good all around. Toughest decision is where to park due the small lot in front and all the towing signs everywhere. read more

Best Chinese food in Bellevue! The food here is delicious and beautifully served by Mandarin-speaking servers. Very impressive!

Love the food here! I'm usually all for the dim sum cart but I find that ordering via QR code is a lot better. Even if you're there the minute they open the food is available. Food was really good. Tried the rice noodle wrapped donut, it was dish. came here during lunch hour, didn't wait long. Server was nice and very well prepared. We didn't have to ask for water, tea or anything. read more

Came for Father's Day brunch and it was maybe half full at 10am. The server didn't ask us what tea we wanted, and we got jasmine which is fine, but would've been good to have a choice lol You enter in your order online which was super convenient. The food also comes out really quick. The food itself is okay. The bbq pork bun had a weird flavor, the bean curd rolls were a bit dry for my liking, and the egg tarts are super small, which messes with the proportion of egg filling to crumbly crust. Everything else was mid at best. Ambiance is okay. Some of the tables are way too close together which isn't great. Overall, I'd say, just plan for the wait at better dim sum places. read more

If you want authentic incredible dim sum this is the place. It can be a little hard to find from the street so be patient. It's back behind an Asian market and there is limited parking so I suggest getting there early. The lunch crowd is always packed And you order off of a menu that is on a tablet. Food service is quick and every dish we had was delicious. Our server kept our glasses topped off and was very accommodating to everything we needed. We highly recommend top gun seafood for your next great dim sum experience! read more

I've been coming here years and it has never disappointed. Granted it had been a couple of years since my last visit and while they remodeled, the food is the same good quality. While it is right across from Factoria mall, the location may be a little hard to find if it's your first time, as it's behind another building. Parking isn't always easy either, perhaps you can park at the mall and walk over. Once inside there are the classic fish tanks at the front and large seating areas. Unfortunately it appears they no longer have the carts and instead you order via your phone (QR code that identifies your table) or with the wait staff. I personally loved the carts but seems a lot of places are going this route. As usual the food came out very quickly and tasted great. The prices and portions here are decent and Top Gun will remain in my top picks of dim sum restaurants in the area. read more

I have ate at Top Gun so much you might as well call me Iceman. I eat the shumai like a ballistic wolverine who hasn't eaten in 5 days. I once got a Diet Coke here...it was delicious. I ate a pork bun like Porky Pig. I am so mean I make medicine sick. I rubbed Buddha's belly for good luck and went on my way. Thank yeee....5 stars read more

With all the new places to try it's been a while since we've been to Top Gun. Just as I recall - solid dim sum. Seemed fresh. Definitely tasty. Good portions. Da boss felt like chow mein so we ordered up at the house special chow mein - plenty of shrimp, bbq pork, squid and chicken and of course crunchy noodles with gravy. Topped it off with some dim sum - shrimp balls, siu mai and stuffed bean curd rolls. Plenty of food and we went away happy. Went in at a really goofy hour so we had our run of the place which is nice. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and was expecting there to be a wait but we got seated pretty quickly. The overall vibe is typical of a dim sum restaurant. A bit chaotic but in a good way lol. Service was alright. We got our refills pretty quickly and the employees scooped the soups into our bowls for us. Food was great! Everything was flavorful and they came out rather quickly despite how many patrons were in the restaurant at the time. I'd come again. read more

The seasonal spotted shrimp is so good and a high recommend if they offer it. The seasonal fish was good, but had a lot of bones and was so tender almost to the point of being too much. Everything was very well seasoned and the greens were exceptionally fresh. The food is on the pricier side, but I believe it is well worth read more

After the new ownership, none of the dishes tasted as authentic as before. Mediocre food that even every family can cook at home. The coating on the deep-fried fish was too thick, and the pork dish's sauce was way off in terms of taste compared to what people know Hong Kong-style Chinese food to be. Red source from a fried rice taste like fish can, etc Don't waste your money there unless you want to. read more

I love my dim sum and was craving it while in Seattle. We checked this spot out that was supposedly a popular spot among the locals. We got the staples like the shrimp dumplings, shumai, spare ribs and egg tarts. The dumplings were massive! They were easily twice the size of normal ones and full of filling. In terms of flavor, I would say it was pretty good. Most things were decent, but nothing mind blowing. Good dim sum spot to start your day! read more

Top Gun is your typical dim sum restaurant -- crowded, smells great, and lots of lazy susans around round tables. The decor is pretty nice and the staff is helpful, but the food itself was just okay. The menu is pretty standard as far as dim sum goes, but some of the items weren't my favorite. The chicken feet were a bit too oily, and the xiaolong bao were dry... which is crazy, given they're soup dumplings. Is it the worst dim sum ever? Not at all. But there are better places to go on a weekend. read more

Great dim sum with large potion sizes but mediocre service. The dim sum itself is very tasty and comes out extremely quickly. I really liked the shumai, which is way bigger than other dim sum places'. I've had plenty of dim sum before and the "football", which are fried mochi filled with meat, was better than I remember. The service is pretty lacking - they are very prompt asking what kind of tea you want right when you sit down but aren't clear that there's a $2 per person charge. at the end of the meal, i tried to request the check multiple times using the online ordering page but it never came, so i finally flagged down a waiter. to be fair to them, it was quite full in the restaurant. Came away quite full - about $100 for all three of us, and enough leftover for another meal. read more

There was ample space lots of locals, simple foods but tasteful. It was important for the kids and if they're happy, we'll continue to come back until their tastes have changed. Service was sufficient that everything came out hot. The brown gravy over rice and lobster sauce is always a hit especially if you bring them home. Pricing was in the average range but wouldn't pay anymore for what was listed. Only set back and it's been the same one for 20 years!!!! No alcohol so it made the dining experience for the adults much shorter. read more

The food is amazing! My husband and I are regulars for over a year now and the service is very good!

This restaurant is so busy! We came before they open but the wait time was like 20 to 30 minutes. The restaurant itself was huge but they only open one section of the restaurant but staff move through diners quickly. They have good dim sum, the shumai is huge in size which everyone enjoyed. The cilantro and shrimp ball and bean curd is my favorite. The congee with century egg didn't wow us at all, it was grainy in texture. The tea that they served us was just water and we need to call their attention and ask for another tea pot. The parking can be a problem, too many customers not enough parking! read more

I used to come here with my Dad, pre-Covid, and I would say things have changed quite a bit. I stopped by with my family today and it was packed. We were told that are wait time will be about 20 minutes, it was closer to 45. There's no longer ladies coming around with carts, you order everything through a QR code, and everything comes as it's prepared. For the first round, we ordered 9 plates and 2 arrived really quickly and then the others took a little while. There's definitely no coursing and little to no service. The food is fine, there is too much MSG in it. There was not a dish that I was wowed by, after ordering 12 dishes. It's OK, but I don't think I would come back again. I've also never been to a dim sum place where they charge you for tea. It's literally called "Yum Cha" for a reason. If anyone has a recommendation for a delicious dim sum place in the area, let me know! read more

Top Gun Seafood Restaurant - Everything is on average is about $7.25 per plate - Seafood Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I love dim sum! Their portions are huge. Their prices are high. For three people, two women and one man, we ordered shao mai (4 per order), xlb (4), spare ribs, chicken feet (4), taro puffs (3), chive and shrimp pocket (3), and rice noodle with shrimp. It was slightly too much food. But what is dim sum without variety?? Their menu is an online menu but the tea situation is odd. They cost $2/person for a pot of tea, but if you order dishes there's an "add on". We were assured this add on version was incorrect multiple times and that it was just $2/person. (We didn't end up adding the tea to the online order but did order it, and they had it on the receipt later.) The food overall was pretty good! I also like their red vinegar for dipping. One of us didn't really like the chive shrimp pockets, felt they would've been better as har gow, and I don't necessarily disagree. The food is so huge. That's really all there is about it. For sizing, each shao mai was about twice a normal one. Probably a better plan with people would be to order them and cut everything in half! Service was okay. Bathroom was okay. Place was very busy. Food turnover was fast. read more

Top Gun Seafood Restaurant - I took the photo too late! Each of these are much larger than you think.. - Seafood Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Got here at around 10 am on a Saturday - plenty of seating and no line. My friend and I were seated quickly, but a crowd did start forming around the time we left (around 11 ish). The food is a solid four stars. Service is average for a Chinese restaurant - the servers will leave you alone unless you call them over, which I honestly prefer, because I prefer to eat in peace. I think this is definitely one of the better dim sum places I have been to in a while. The food is made fresh upon ordering via checklist menu. Although it can't beat Vancouver, BC, it is still decent and worth a visit! read more

Food are FANSTASTIC. However, the servers are VERY PUSHY, so before u click "order" PLEASE DOUBLE check because if you accidentally order anything they'll make u take it no matter what. I ask this server if they have fresh tofu fried, they pointed at the menu and so I order that, they brought out stir fried tofu and I told them this isnt what I order. They make me take it and said " it taste good" well first of all it didn't, second of all that is NOT I had Order. read more

This place still has IMO the best dim sum around. We have been coming here for years and the quality is still good. You order from a menu now .... I do miss the carts because sometimes we would get a wild hair after seeing something that looked interesting. I am less likely to do that from the menu. Service is fast. Their "little dragon balls" used to be xia long bao but didn't have much soup in them. They have the biggest and the best shui Mai here. Sugar cane shrimp, wok fried noodles, shrimp ball, green beans (weekend only), sticky rice, taro cake...all delicious! It does get loud when it's full. Go early! read more
