The first night I went here to have dinner, we went for a bday party. Ordered the $100.00 set dish thingie mababer..(I can't think straight right now)
Either I was really hungry or the food was really good. Maybe a bit of both.
Food was fresh and tasty. Favorite was the Fried Chicken and Fried tofu sauteed in mushrooms, chicken and scallops. Note I was in love with the fried stuff...hmm..
Then the next week we came back for Dim Sum. I was a bit disappointed. I thought it'd be somewhat close to what dinner tasted like.
Most of the dim sum was a bit cold and there wasn't much variety.
But, the pro's of this place..Cheap eats, parking, and the service is really great. I actually got my water filled, unlike many other Chinese restaurants where your so thirsty from all the msg and your wondering why your puckering your lips...
Would I go back..sure why not.
This was my first dim sum experience here in Seattle. You know what they say about the first time -- it's always the worst.
Anyway, the staff was very friendly -- a bit too friendly, if you asked me. What do I mean by that? They kept offering us food, and when we'd say no, they looked as if they were about to cry. I felt bad so I'd pick up some of the plates, even if they didn't even look very appetizing.
What I take issue here the most though, is the food itself. Most of the dishes that we got here was cold. The other dishes were warm, at best. We came in around 11:30am, which is primetime for dimsum. I don't see how the dimsum could have gotten cold if they made it fresh.
The only thing hot here was my ex-girlfriend's temper, after I had promised her good food.
Ack!
I'm not sure if it's I don't like Chinese food anymore, but I'm pretty sure I do. I'll admit, my palette is not sophisticated in this genre of food, but I know junk when I taste it. And I tasted it...
Very bland. Heavily fried. Things seem slimy and warm, rather than hot and crispy. The seating and inside experience seemed reasonable, but we got to go, so I can't speak much to that.
I also apparently accidentally ordered two things ...the lady tricked me during our language barrier difficulties I think . Not a big deal, but the food happened to suck so instead of raining, it poured in my case
Oh man, we went here when we first moved to Seattle 3.5 years ago, it was awful. Went back a couple of weeks ago and now I can't stop going there. Garlic Chicken is fantastic, cheese rangoon is awesome and the service is super friendly and the place is fairly clean. Would recommend it to anyone.
We primarily get take out, haven't tried the dim sum, so can't rate that. Seems to me that dim sum is pretty lame anyway, who wants to eat food that is carted around the restaurant for an hour. Point is individual meals are fantastic.
This place has a new owner now... I came here 2 weekends in a row for Saturday morning Dimsum. It seems they donot have hardly any selection and servce re-steamed Shui Mai. It's really sad what this restaurant has became. In the beginning a year back, it was pretty decent... but this restaurant's best days are over.
The dim sum was good for the price! We had a party of 6 and the food was good! After ordering a ton of food and boxing some more of it, our bill came to be about $8 per person. Another good sign was that most of the customers around us were speaking Cantonese which was a good sign considering that Cantonese people love good dim sum.
On a non related note about dim sum restaurant in general...usually if you speak Cantonese or have a Cantonese friend the service is much better, so make sure you bring one to any dim sum restaurant!
My top 5 favs there:
1) Fong Jiaow/ Feng Zhua/ Phoenix Claws/ Chicken Feet - tender and juicy with the perfect amount of spice. Not for the picky or scared! Btw, Phoenix Claws are Chicken feet when you translate it from Chinese to English. So don't be stupid!
2) Ha Churng Fen/ Xia Chiang Fen/ Shrimp Rice Rolls - the soy sauce was sweet and the roll was delicious! my fav dim sum dish
3) Wu Guok/ Wu Guo/ Fried Taro and Pork - the dish was crispy and fresh and the taro was nice and soft.
4) Gon Chow Un Huo/ Niu Rou He Fen/ Stir Fried Beef and Rice Noodles - very greasy but beef was tender and the noodles were well cooked. Could have used more onion and green onion, but still good.
5) Ha Gow/ Xia Jiao/ Shrimp Dumpling - soft outside, tasty shrimp inside. mmm
Overall, it was good, but not the best dim sum restaurant that I have been to. There wasn't a wait for a Saturday afternoon, but the restaurant was still crowded. It's cheap and tasty for the price. So it's a decent back up if you don't want to wait 1 hr at Jade Garden to get seated.
Okay, this place has been through several changes in management. All I care about is good, authentic style Cantonese food.
Last night, I decided to try them out for take out, and test out the new owners with basic HK style food. As I walked in, I noticed the workers were Vietnamese, and this made me nervous, as Vietnamese owned Chinese restaurants can have a hint of Vietnamese flavor. This is fine, but I prefer authentic, Hong Kong style flavors when I want Cantonese food.
I ordered: 1. HK style chicken chow mein w/the sauce separated from the crispy noodles (important to ask while transporting) 2. Singapore style fried rice noodles. 3. Beef chow fun. 4. Salted fish fried rice w/chicken.
Rarely am I impressed. I was impressed with the quality, and portions. They were not stingy on the shrimp, chicken, salted fish, or any of the portions; although I could have had more beef. Total: $33.00. Perfect addition to the sesame kale from Whole Foods.
This gives me more confidence to try their dim sum.
so-so average dim sum. took so long and there was no selection.
Eggplant was pretty bomb.
Delicious and dirt cheap, this place was great. While two of our party spoke Mandarin (which helped out, surely) we got dish after dish of delicious littleorsels. Wasn't crazy about the chicken feet or the tripe, but everything else was great. I look forward to more next time I'm in Seattle.
This was my second attempt at finding the coveted Salted Pepper Squid/wings, the one that could be comparable to what I'd been accustomed to in San Diego - perfectly seasoned, cut into huge pieces, crispy on the outside and delicate, NOT CHEWY on the inside. No wings again. Damn.
They got the texture right, but there was no seasoning on it at all. It was just battered squid. Maybe they changed the recipe, but it didn't reflect on the menu. They served it with Sweet & Sour dipping sauce. Okay. It was good for what it was, I guess.
The salt and pepper pork chops were what the squid wasn't - deliciously salty, spicy, and juicy.
The staff was very friendly and attentive.
Man, I missed eating meat.
Really cool place for large groups, and the food is tasty. Nicely staffed too. Bill for 65 people eating a ton of Dim Sum? $28.00 . No, but you get the idea.
Be sure to look up at the ceiling. It's like a ghetto Venetian Hotel. Love it.
This place has changed management yet again. Hmm...makes me wonder.
We were here for dinner. The menu looks downgraded from their extensive version last year.
Here's the run down of the food:
Hot and Sour Soup: ok, but NOT hot (spicy) at all. Thanks to my mom's urging to put the chili satay in, it fixed it up quite nicely.
Salt and Pepper squid: Still good
Chinese Broccoli with Oyster sauce: Why they put one dipping bowl for six people is beyond me, most places drizzle it on. So I went ahead and dumped it on.
Lobster in Ginger and Green Onion Sauce: Good, but not what mom was expecting. LOL! This is not So Cal!
Eggplant with Garlic: Pretty good, but a bit greasy
BBQ Pork Fried Rice: A winner with all of us
Mongolian Beef: Nice tender, and flavorful
The place was eerily empty on a Friday evening. Not much else to say, except it was ok, and we walked out with full bellies.

Wow...we took a chance and decided to do some late night Dim Sum! We were so glad that we did!!!!!… Read more »
When this place first open, the first owner.
It open late (1 or 2am, I believe) the dinner was fantastic. Well derserving of 4 stars. Since management have changed a couple of times since then. The food is lackluster at best. The dimsum basic, shrimp dumpling and pork dumplings can't even be made to an acceptable level.
This is overall an overall " - okay" place for the morning with it's key competitive edge being is location which make parking a bit easier than ID, not by much however.
Dim Sum Fail.
I should have read one of the three framed copies of the Seattle Times review titled "At least the Food Looked Good." with a 1 and a half star rating. I'm not at all sure why you'd frame a bad review and post it three times.
The people who work here are nice and the carts come constantly with all kinds of dishes but most of it just doesn't taste good. Way too much MSG and a lot of things don't have any other discernible seasoning or sauce.
Pop Quiz:
Phoenix Claws are:
a.) deep fried spider crab
b.) chicken feet
c.) spicy deep fried octopus
d.) really bad fake nails
My answer:
a.)
Tea Garden's answer:
b.)
Houston's answer:
We have a problem.
We walked in here last night, in search of some Dim Sum. We were seated promptly enough and brought tea and menus. We perused the hundreds of options only to find that there wasn't a dumpling to be found!
Huh..
Well, lucky for us, we had an iPhone with the new 'Yelp IPhone' Application'. After a little research, we found a.) you ask for the dim sum menu, and b.) what to order.
We had the shrimp and scallop dumplings (A+++), the lobster dumplings (a Solid A-), Fried Calamari (B+), Sticky Rice in Lotus Root (A- BOMB!), turnip cake (No Mas), and yes, Chicken Feet (Blech!)...
As she set the plates down, we looked at the dumplings, the calamari.. the feet.. and then at each other and burst into laughter!
Him: Uh, those are chicken feet. We DID NOT order chicken feet.
Me: Maybe we did.. Wow.. those are.. huh.
(beckons to waitress)
Him: Excuse me.. We didn't order chicken feet.
Her: Um.. Okay. One moment please.
(Goes and gets order)
Her: Yes, you did. Right here.. Phoenix claws.
Me: Ahh.. Alrighty then.. Thank you!
Me: Okay, well.. we gotta eat them.
Him: I'm not touchin' that @**$!
Me: Yeah.. well, I am!
Him: Really??
Me: (Crunch, crunch).. Hmm.. it actually tastes like a wing..
Him: (laughing) Ugh.. I don't want to hear about it.. I can't believe you're eating those..
Me: And one is plenty.
Total bill for all this crazy business- $25! We were shocked and appalled (him- mostly by my consumption of the Claw) and delighted that we got plenty of food AND entertainment for such a great price!
Definitely good for Dim Sum action. Some interesting entrees on their menu as well.. next time I might try them out.
No claws though. The phrase 'Once in a Lifetime' rightfully applies here.
Decent place for dim sum about 1 mile away from Seattle International Center/Chinatown. Actually a pretty big restaurant with lots of tables and a large banquet area. A fewof the dim sum items (like the steamed pork bun) were extremely tasty and the rest (shrimp dumplings, beef rice noodles, etc) were average.
Bottom line: I'd go back here again. Best aspects were free parking in the reasonable sized parking lot and cleanliness of the place.
I decided to check out yet another dim sum place a few weekends ago. I grabbed my gay boyfriend #1 (GBF#1) and off we went. I had read the reviews of Tea Garden and passed it one day so I knew where it was and decided this was it.
We get there and they have their own parking lot! Yes free parking people! Though there were some sketchy looking people roaming the lot as we pulled into park but hey it was free and right there.
We are seated right away. We sit down and are approached right away too. Let me first tell you their dim sum push cart ladies are PUSHY they will try to force you to take things you don't want, which is how we ended up with some shrimp and corn thing. Once I put my foot down and said NO to what I didn't want we got want we wanted. Shu Mai, steamed shrimp dumpling, steamed shrimp and chive dumpling, flakey baked pork buns and a steamed pork and peanut dumpling.
The dumplings were HUGE I tell you, probably the biggest dim sum I've ever seen and they all stuck together. From what I've been told that's a sign of old dim sum and this was 11:30 am on a Sunday morning, but it didn't taste old but than again it's not like I'd really know what old dim sum tasted like anyways. The dim sum was ok; the corn with the shrimp was how should I put it, interesting, not something I'd ever want again. The rest was just ok. GBF#1 said I was allowed to take him back here again so as you can tell it wasn't that bad not Top Gun or Jade Garden good but good enough considering it was cheap and they had a parking lot.
The mandate of (dim sum) heaven has passed from Sea Garden to Tea Garden. I've been there at least five times now and each time the food is better and better.
The dim sum is flavorful and, generally, fresh. Their recipe for success? Quality ingredients, expertly seasoned and efficiently served. For instance, the pan fried turnip cake has discernible chunks of turnip in it and was bursting with sharply distinct but harmoniously balanced flavors of dried shrimp, Chinese sausage and turnips. And the coconut jello was delicately flavored with a texture that would make a Toys in Babeland shopper squirm with delight.
My first time there the dim sum was so-so and the place was packed. Oddly, the crowds have lessened as the food has gotten better. No complaints from me about this though.
Also, while the staff can be a bit zealous in offering their tasty morsels, they are also friendly and attentive.
Alll in all, this place is super solid for good dim sum
My two cents worth....
* Go early or make reservation, especially for groups
* Be willing to try something new that you can't find at other dim sum places.
* It's about as good as Jade Garden! It's our first time there, but I predict more trips are coming...
Just go!
PS, For four adults and three kids, our total was about $60.00.
DIMSUM CRAVINGS IN THE 206
One of them days. Especially Sunday mornings, dimsum is a must! It was ritual back in 2003 that my girlfriends and I would have dimsum Sunday morning. And everytime I was in Seattle for vacation we'd hit up dimsum in Chinatown. But I've been in desperate need to find a good dimsum spot in Seattle. After having the best dimsum I could ever eat in San Francisco, nothing has yet came close to it. But I was introduced to a new spot this weekend, Tea Garden, just about a 1/2 mile or less away from Chinatown but still in the ID. I've passed this place time and time again but always judged the district for it's not so clean reputation.
When I entered the restaurant I was pretty content with the space. The dimsum here is average but way better then any place I've had dimsun in Chinatown. Our order at Tea Garden was (think I've said the items below correctly):
- Nol Mai Gai (lotus leaf sticky rice)
- Seejup Pai Gwat (Pork spareribs)
- Sui Mai (steamed meat dumpling)
- Sa Lut Ming ha Gok (deep fried shrimp dumpling)
- Gao choy got (shrimp and cilantro dumpling)
The prices were reasonable to recieve a bill less then $30 bucks for the filling items ordered. I plan to go back for yet another dimsum fix. Good bye chinatown dimsum.
After just one visit, I'm ready to make Tea Garden my slutty lil' dim sum mistress. Sorry, Mrs. China Gate!
Went for lunch on Wednesday. Dining room was bright, spacious (large spaces abound for them big parties the Chinese throw!) and, most importantly, clean. Despite only having two cart types (steamed + non-steamed), there was a wide variety to choose from (some items, even, that I've never had/seen before). Of course, I can't recall everything by name, but what I do remember is the food was really tasty, surprisingly cheap and not oily!!
Noticed a lot of tables ordering off the regular menu, in addition to having dim sum, which is always a good way to go. Noodle dishes looked good (and were a generous serving), and the table next to us ordered soup.
Extra bonus points for their parking lot and (short) distance away from the dim sum congestion that abounds in the ID. Am definitely going to wrangle the dim sum troops for weekend brunch at Tea Garden soon!
Dim Sum on weekday afternon: shrimp rolls, shrimp balls, shrimp wraps, shrimp this and shrimp that. Do you like shrimp? You better if you plan on dining at Tea Garden!

We have eaten here three times.
This was the best time yet. Was pleasantly surprised that at noon on… Read more »
I had leftovers for lunch again today. For three days now. And dinner tonight will probably be from the leftovers also.
Which goes to say that while the food was not inspired enough to have been completely guzzled at the original sitting, it wasn't bad enough to have been rejected as leftovers.
Oh, and no dinner-time dim sum in sight - you should have seen the crestfallen look on my poor dining companion's face. Especially given the anticipation with which he had anticipated it.
The service was adequate; they had a wedding party to deal with in back.
The snow and rain that day was insufferable. But I digress.
Gonna pop my proverbial Yelp cherry. So, be kind, be gentle and go easy on my first review. ;)
Dim Sum at 9pm on a Monday night? How cow! I was this close x..x to going to Sea Garden for my usual Wet Egg Noddle with Rice. But, we were jonesing for some late night Dim Sum. So, I rolled into Tea Garden with a writer friend of mine from NYC. We found Tea Garden to be clean, and surprisingly crowded for a Monday night. The staff was friendly and courteous.
At first I was a little hesitant to order Dim Sum ("A Touch of Heart") this late at night. One has to wonder how long Dim Sum has been sitting in these carts.
My therapist said I should throw caution to the wind more often, so I decided what the hell and started ordering.
(drum roll)
1. Siu maai (Pork Dumplings) **** - (out of 5) - it was tender and tasty.
2. Har gau - (Shrimp Dumplings) ***** - moist, tender and very good.
3. Char siu baau (Steamed bum with roasted pork) ** - I found it dry and tough to eat.
4. Lou mai gai (rice in lotus leaf with egg yolk, pork and chicken etc..) NR - I accidentally drowned it in Soy Sauce and Sriracha Hot Sauce. So, hard to say. I will give it a NR.
5. Cheong Fun (Wide rice noodles with Shrimp topped with soy sauce. ) ***** One word... Yummyfantastic.
6. Dan tat (Egg Tart) *** 1/2 - This is one of my favorite deserts after having dim sum. It was moist and yummy. I'm still thinking about it as I write this review.
We left Tea Garden on a happy note. Well worth the money.
ps. I really don't see a therapist.
I was driving home through a terrible rainstorm and on impulse pulled into the little parking lot of Tea Garden. I decided to go with Dim Sum, but I think I would've been better off ordering from the main menu. Unlike the previous places I've been to, they weren't rolling around carts. Instead he gave me a small piece of paper that listed the options so I could check boxes. However, some of the names were vague things like "little basket" (that wasn't on there, but I forget the exact term) and I wasn't sure what ingredients were in it. The server was very kind, but we had communication problems. So I ended up with some stuff without meat and some with meat.
Even though I only ordered 3 plates, somehow I ended up with 6 plates. I figured I'd just have leftovers for later and just kept them anyway. I fed the meat-containing items to my roommates later and they said they were good.
Prices were reasonable (my enormous 6 plates were still only $17, and it was enough to feed me and 2 of my roommates when I got home)
I wasn't that into the dim sum, but based on the other reviews I'll have to come back and try something off the main menu. This seems like a great place for big groups... they have tables that can seat a ton of people.
They're so good to me!
I live around the area, and
I know a staff worker there. The seats are comfortable
they are so creative! they make their own version of some foods
Chinese parents came to town again.
Went to the much anticipated Tea Garden. Parking lot is free and plentiful. Roomy dining area.
I'd like to complain about decor in ALL Chinese restaurants. Why isn't there any consistency in their interior design? It's always a little roman pillar there and a bamboo plant next to it. What gives. I certainly feel embarrassed.
Wide range of food-- from SPAM SANDWICHES (?!) to fried rice. We had a few hot pots which surprisingly didn't all taste like purple. The brown sauce in each pot was different. This is a miracle in American-Chinese food in my opinion. It seems like they have a big pot of brown, and dump it over some shrimp and bok choy and BOOM! A seafood hot pot and a shrimp hot pot. Not this place--Hooray!
The service is nice, they messed up our order but we were rewarded with traditional Chinese desserts like mango pudding.
I read the online reviews and thought I would give it a try. For me it was nothing to write home about. Food was not worth what we paid $48 including tip for two small women. I imagined a hip Seattle atmosphere teaming with lots of dim sum carts and a cool vibe. My only wish is that there would have been a vegetable cart. The bathroom decor was my favorite part, very clean and nice urban/Asian feel.
Not my fav spot.... I would recommend Ocean Seafood in Los Angeles if you have the chance to, go there instead.
I'm a bit divided about how to rate this place..if i could, id actually give this placea 3.5/5. I've been here twice now but both with different experiences..keep in mind that I'm a hugee dim sum fan (if you want reallly good dim sum..you go to canada btw)
1st experience: tons of hussle and bussle but the service was quick. There were tons of variety and even dishes I had never tried before, which came to me by surprise! Everything was fresh and the manager lady was super friendly.
2nd: The variety shot down by like 75%....it was just few of the typical items constantly being carted around. The stuff they did have was really good but overall, the 2nd experience was a bit disappointing.
I'll definitely return though, mostly to find redemption ....ho ho ho
1: While waiting for our to-go order we got tea!
2: Delicious food.
We ordered off the main menu, and got Chow mein, general tso's chicken, almond chicken, sweet + sour pork, and won ton soup. All delicious, all hot and fresh with fluffy white rice.
All for less than $40.
The dim sum here was ok..nothing to write home about, nor memorable. I decided to try this place out after reading other yelpers comments. I've got to say, this is the only time that I've been disappointed by a yelp review. There wasn't much of a variety and we had to wait for new items to come around every 30 mins. The cart ladies were a bit pushy on the dim sum items though and would try to talk you into taking all of the dishes off their cart .
It wasn't oh-die-awesome dim sum, but it was pretty decent dim sum.
The place was nice enough for a dim sum place, with lots of light streaming in from outside. Looking out onto the far wall, what I thought was a mirror to make the place look bigger, was apparently more room... with some rather nice Chinese decor. I was told that they could hold pretty traditional Chinese weddings there. There was also a lit Chinese cabbage from their cashier stand that kept catching my eye, every time I was on the lookout for food carts.
The first lady who came by our table set off a good tone: she was quite friendly and cheerful. Later service wasn't as great, but it was pretty decent. We only had the problem of finishing eating - along with the last drop of tea, only to wait what seemed like quite a while for somebody to come by and notice that we'd stopped eating and that we had an open empty pot of tea near the edge of our table. Eventually, we had to flag down a steam cart lady walking quickly away from us.
There didn't seem to be too much in the way of selection, as there were really only 3 small carts, which seem to be divided into the fried/breaded cart, steam cart, and baked cart. They had chicken feet, sticky rice, shrimp dumpling, scallop dumpling, vegetable dumpling, football dumpling, 2 other types of dumpling, steamed gyoza, stuffed green pepper, beef noodle roll, baked bbq bao, taro cake, shrimp tofu, siumai, short ribs, egg custard, spring rolls, something that looked like a sweet curry bun, and maybe about 3-5 other dishes. Every once in a while, somebody would come out with freshly cooked sides - chow mein, fried eggplant, steamed chinese broccoli. I kept trying to think of what it was I wanted that seemed to be sorely missing, but it wasn't until I left that I remembered some of my favorite from the staples - tripe, beef tendon, steamed char siu, jin dui. And, what's more, only 3 shrimp dishes? For shame, Jade Garden probably had 5 times as much - so, considering, Jade Garden's shrimp overkill, I was expecting about 6 shrimp dishes from other dim sum places.
Over all, the experience was pretty decent. I wouldn't mind coming back to see if they have expanded selections on other days.
Okay, the first time I went here I was impressed by the dim sum, but not by the service. The "we hate whitey" vibe was hardcore. Literally. We asked for something off the cart and instead of giving it to us the waitress offered it to the table full of asians instead. Okay, weird. Stood in line to pay my bill...waited a full 5 minutes. Asian man walks up to pay his bill - like magic here is cashier to wait on him first. Weird. But, because the dim sum was so dang good I decided to try it out again. Boy, am I glad I did. The dim sum here is like little pieces of art. I have been eating dim sum for something like 20 years from NYC, San Fran, etc. This place has a great variety, food is always very hot, and yes, cart ladies can be pushy, but all you have to do is say no. No big deal. I think they are like that because some people don't know what things are so they can't make intelligent choices. These ladies help them out with those choices, yeah? Anyway, luckily I know my favorites and I know how to say no to the gelatinous noodle thingy. Ewww. Wait staff was nice, cheerful, and price was right. $52 for 4 people. This place is open late too. Yum Yum Dim Sum. Thank you for being nice this time Tea Garden!
easy parking ^^ I hate to fine parking in chinatown
i like food here
Okay.....I was craving dim sum on a rainy Satuday morning so we drove all the way to Seattle to get some (that's bec Tacoma doesn't have a dim sum restaurant). It was between Tea Garden and Jade Garden but after finding out that Tea Garden has free parking, we opted for that. I've never had Jade Garden's dim sum so I cannot compare the two but what I can say is that Tea Garden is easy to find, has great parking, is clean, has great and fast service and really really good dim sum. The variety is great and you can definitely see the freshness of the food. The shirmp is bringht and pink, the veggies are very green and the taste is really crisp. The only complaint my husband had is that there isn't much variety on their sauces. My complaint was that it was a little spendy (our bill was $48.00). He did however bring up the fact that we had over 12 different kinds of md to lrg dim sum and had 2 different desserts and Vietnamese coffee. All in all, we had a great time and we will definitely be going back!
Best Dim-Sum in seattle right now (I say right now because the way these chefs bounce around who knows how long it will stay this way) - so get it while it's HOT!
