I discovered this spot when I first moved to Seattle, but it seems the name has changed, and it looks like it’s now under new ownership and management.

The menu was incredible, featuring everything from pumpkin seafood soup, shrimp dumplings, shumai, and peking duck, to truffle shredded chicken, xiao long bao, mixed vegetables with beef, typhoon lobster crab, and harbor fried rice.

I really enjoyed the variety! Places like this are best enjoyed with a larger group, so you can try a little bit of everything.

All the dishes were delicious! My personal favorites were the dim sum, peking duck, and typhoon lobster crab. Sure, eating the crab with my fingers was a bit messy, but totally worth it.

Seattle Harbor is perfect for a full day out. You can enjoy a great lunch, then head out for some kayaking or paddleboarding on Lake Union right after.

I’ll definitely come back for another gathering the next time Seattle gives us one of these gorgeous sunny days.

This is a no. Nice server (although she disappeared for almost 15 minutes) and other customers were friendly. Sweet and sour chicken was pretty good. The recommended mushroom side wrapped in a thick, slimy and unseasoned rice wrapper was really unpleasant to (try to) eat. Despite the beautiful water view, the atmosphere was similar to a room in the midst of refurbishment…lots of wires, piles and boxes on display.

Amazing view and dim sum, owner put lot of attention to detail, all ceramic is beautiful without flaw, and every dish will be served on specific ceramic plate to enhance the experience.
This restaurant is sitting a huge float house, exterior and the externals might look dated, but once you sit down that million dollar lake view will bring your experience to new level.

Despite the questionable reviews, I was pleasantly surprised by this place. It was pretty much empty on the Wednesday night that I visited which was a bit strange considering how large the place is. The peeking duck was quite good though and very reasonably priced. The other two dishes we got were just okay. I’d say if you want peeking duck, this is a great spot and the view is super nice!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! First time coming in after driving by several times. We were the only people in the restaurant which is massive with a wonderful view of the water. I honestly don’t think you can beat this price point for the quality of food in Seattle. They have several individual combos ranging from $11-15 and family style combos where you get everything listed from the menu which was insane. Food all tasted fresh and the fried rice from the combo was so good.

I got the family combo B which was $23 pp , we got a massive appetizer platter, soup, and 3 entrees!! This cannot be beat.

I personally think this is a hidden gem because everyone I went with said I had no idea this is a restaurant.

Came here for the first time and there is now apparently a new family that runs this restaurant. Friendly, good service. The tables by the big bay windows provide a very nice view of the water, especially during the day.
If you have dietary/meat restrictions, make sure to let your server/hostess know or reconfirm ; some of the dishes have pork or other meat in it that might not be apparent from the name.
Would love to return again and try other dishes.

Haven’t been to this area so it was a nice visit for us, especially with the water view and seeing all the baiting activities. The place is old, could use some maintenance but charming, water view. This was a good perk for a little family dinner.

We only order dim sum which is limited on weeknights. We enjoy that it came out hot, probably the hottest dim sum we had. What stood out was the pork seems better here than other dim sum places. Most of the other places tastes almost the same, which is good. We tried the soup dumpling, good but not as good as Din Tai Fung.

Service was slow, seem understaffed but they are nice. Encounter a spoon that was not completely clean, it was washed just some dried food that oat likely the washer didn’t clean.

Overall enjoy our meal, would definitely come back.

There was a new chef here named Danna who got great reviews but has been gone since December 2021. The food is likely prepared the same but without the same level of execution. Without the great food you have an older facility with a prime location. Our food was Okay but the tastes were off. There’s better choices in International District.

First time here after moving to Seattle 8 years ago since we recently saw some reviews saying that they have a new chef and their dim sum is good. Came on a Sunday right after they opened at 11 and were promptly seated by the window.

The food is definitely on par with good dim sum places in Seattle. Ambiance is good, nice water front view, easy parking, and friendly staff. Highlight was their Typhoon squid, which is a bit rare to find. We will definitely be back!
