China Harbor Restaurant

"Atmosphere gets 4 stars only bc it smelt like smoke inside, which I’m averse to. Otherwise, Vegetable Egg Foo Young was great, fluffy, flavorful, moist, plenty of sprouts, cabbage, carrots, green onion and egg. The General Tso Chicken was also good. No complaints. Good portions. Good flavor. I was the only person there at 2p on a Thur. Quiet, no music and just a beautiful sunny day on South Lake Union. I can’t complain. Very peaceful dining experience."

"Love this place. Wait staff was very friendly, knowledgeable of the menu and the food was DELICIOUS. Old school vibe- small staff working their butts off so be patient. It’ll be with the wait. Get the deep fried CRAB!"

"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!"

"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."

"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."
