So far this one is the BEST: price is good, you can mix and match any dim sum in whatever quantity you want. I wish they will open a store like this on the Eastside although i know it is very difficult!The is the 3rd dim sum take out place I have been to. Their smaller items like their Hak Gao or Siu Mai is just mediocre so I would just wait until going to a better sit down restaurant like Honey Court or House of Hong to get those. Everything is priced the same so it's worth more getting a bun or something.

You get way more food than you would if you got a small scone at Starbucks for the same price.Tip: Get the bigger items that they have. But if you're looking for some grub before catching a bus or a train, this is perfect. The ambiance is not the best so I wouldn't actually eat there. I really consider Dim Sum King to be a take-out dim sum place. but that's what I call it) and their Ham Sui Gok. I never get a warm friendly vibe when I enter the place.Also, they charge for take-out boxes which makes me really mad because I'm cheap.Nevertheless, I keep coming back because of their Big Bao (I have no idea if that's what it's called. It looks from other reviews that the people here aren't the friendliest. Visit on a weekday to avoid the two-hour waits on Saturdays and Sundays.I'm just going to start with the things I don't like about Dim Sum King. And in the ID, Jade Garden is a perennial: I recommend its overstuffed shui mai, but would steer you away from its (too thick, too gloppy) steamed, rolled Beef Cheung Fun noodles. The pan-fried daikon cakes are browned with care, and it’s this extra attention that elevates this dim sum. The item to order here is the Chinese barbecued pork puff, with pork encased in pastry so tender, it melts in your mouth. I’ve also enjoyed some items at Rainier Valley’s Venus, a relatively new and little-known dim sum restaurant located on the ground floor of a strip mall.

(One dish to avoid: the soupless soup dumplings.)

The chicken feet, plumper than any I’ve eaten in the ID, are on par with those I grew up enjoying in Richmond, and the steamed fish-paste-stuffed eggplant is perfectly lovely. The Special Shrimp Dumplings-little purses filled with shrimp, beribboned with chive sprigs and sprinkled with tobiko, are similarly delicious. The mashed taro cake, that fried oval dumpling with the frizzled golden brown shell and filled with tender nubs of ground pork, is wonderful, with a lighter texture than any I’ve found in Seattle proper. The fact that Zen Garden uses a ticket-ordering system instead of hand carts means that everything arrives steaming hot, instead of lukewarm and greasy, a common complaint here in Seattle. But for those in need of a quick dim sum fix, I’ve found Zen Garden in Mill Creek (a half-hour drive from downtown Seattle) to have the best selection and the best-tasting dim sum items. Dim sum has always been a contentious and polarizing topic for food-lovin’ Seattleites, many of whom drive up to my hometown of Richmond, B.C., for the legendary dim sum offerings.
