Harbor City Restaurant

Food was so tasty. Everything was cooked so well. And the portions are big even for the small size. The roast crispy pork was a little too fatty for my liking but it was very well seasoned. We ordered way too much food but were heading out to the airport so couldn’t take the food with us. Really wish we could. I really enjoyed the fried chive and shrimp bun/dumpling thing. Some things I wanted were sold out but that’s ok because we couldn’t finish everything already.

The focus here is all about dim sum and not about atmosphere or service. Simply put they have great dim at very reasonable prices. This is not the type of location you want to bring someone to impress them with anything other than the food. Parking can be difficult downtown but there is parking available under the bypasses located up the hill. Once you arrive you scan the menu and order on your phone. Food arrives shortly thereafter. Chairs and table are similar to what you'd find in a meeting room in a one-star Hotel.

One of my favorite dim sum spots in Seattle. The value is fantastic, service is fast, menu selection is good, and the food is always delicious. Despite it being a busy weekend, we were able to get a table within 20 minutes without a reservation. Highly recommend the carrot cake, pork dumplings, and fried pork crescents. Shrimp dumplings are good but the filling is a bit mushy and the skin thickness is inconsistent. Besides some small refinements needed, Harbor City has some of the best value for food in Seattle.
