Mike H.: Soup dumplings are a must. However be sure to get a leafy veggie plate, hot and sour soup or beef noodle soup for your table. If you like cold apps, get the cucumber!
Jess Naldo: Delicious for starter level soup dumplings but honestly not the best around though I'd come back. Still had a great time, family loved it, and staff was amazingly nice. Shaved ice was the underdog!
Michelle Anderson: Everyone comes here for the soup dumplings, which are amazing, but try the pork and veggie dumplings in spicy sauce- very good!!

Kristenelle: This Taiwanese chain churns out excellent xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). Never had a bad meal here.
Celeste Thayer: Love the dumplings. Crab & pork soup dumplings, veggie dumplings, chicken dumplings, pot stickers, yum yum...Also like the rice cakes and the spicy noodles. The green beans are garlicy and delish!
K M: Pork soup dumplings are out of this world. This place blows my mind every time.
Micaela Pierce: If you are craving Din Tai Fung but want to skip the wait, try this place. Get the soup dumplings and Szechuan noodles and go with a group so you can order family style. Super yummy!
Diana Arz: Slightly salty but delicious beef pancake rolls, bao, and braised tofu. The interior is quite nice, not over the top but cool.
Alejandra Guillén S: The pan friend pork buns are a must (as it says on the menu). The beef pancake was also delicious!

Scott D.: For a party of two, an order of 3 items is enough, regardless of what your server may tell you. We thought that the soup dumplings were terrific and the Q-Bao buns were a “must order” item also.
Robin Chen: Good frozen baos, potstickers and xiao long bao. my fave noodles is the dan dan.
Arun Nair: The Pork Xiao Long Bao (soup dumpling) is Amazing. Everything is super fresh and authentic.
David Hu: Pork buns are larger than you would expect! One is enough for two, ask them to cut in half
ᴡ Miller: You can do better than the Japanese pork bun. Don't be lured in!
Ji: I had spicy ramen, maybe not the best ever, but decent. Japanese pork bun was delicious, especially eaten with wasabi

Trevin Chow: Try the "tendon bao". Ignore the fact you are turned off by the words "beef tendon". Trust me, it's divine.
Lauren Cunningham: Been here a few times and am still exploring the menu, but love everything I've tried so far! Favorites are the Ma Po Dofu, the Chinese Sausage + Leek Bao, and the La Zi Ji!
Cusp25: Pork dumplings with chili sauce; also try the wok omelette
Em Good: Get the extra rich garlic pork ramen with and extra egg, the house salad, the fried tofu, the pork bun and some hot tea. Heavenly!
Chira V: Garlic tonkotsu shoyu Ramen w/ low sodium broth. Best northend lunch option ever.
Todd Omotani: Get the garlic tonkotsu original broth. If anyone says get the low sodium make a mental note to stop asking their opinion about Japanese food.
Seattle Chinese Times: Yummy House offers not only the traditional Hong Kong style of BBQ pork buns, coconut buns, sponge cake but also coffee and bubble tea. Read our story at http://http://bit.ly/NbdA04
Gary: Great bubble teas. Not too watery and not too sweet (both sins committed by many other shops). The boba are plentiful and have a good, chewy texture.
K!K: Delicious fresh fruit smoothies
