I’ve been to most dim sum places in ID but this might be my favorite. Service is fast, place is clean, dim sum is spectacular. I do wish they had a bigger dim sum menu after 3pm but not a deal breaker. It’s always super crowded but there’s tons of seating. Also they have amazing drinks. I really liked the mango sago.
For the most part food and service is good here.
I enjoy their shrimp and pork wonton noodle soup, their egg white fried rice with dried scallop, spicy string beans. Mango sago, soy milk
Just had their ginger scallion clay pot bone in chicken.....it does not look like the photo. Very poorly made. Tastes deep fried and then tossed in a gravy sauce. Not like how it's pictured in the menu. It's not a dry clay pot like the photo, it's drenched in a gravy sauce. Didn't enjoy it at all.
Besides that everything else has been decent. More of a recently popping China town restaurant. Quite busy

Came here for dinner with some family, delicious food! Loved the spicy lamb and vegetables! Also had a convenient button for clicking for service, water, and paying so it was organized.
Very nice! I was not expecting much from the outside doorway, but very modern with quality decor inside! Huge and comfortable seating.
Had some free time before our flight, so we said, "Why not check out Chinatown in Seattle?" and bumped into this place.
It was busy when we got there and we waited about 15 min for a table.
Ordered the BBQ pork, shrimp pan-fried dumplings, pan-fried buns shumai, and fried rice. The BBQ pork was really good. Sometimes, at some places, it's kinda dry, but here it's fatty, so it's not dry by any means. However, because of the higher fatty pieces, we had it bordered for me as almost being a little too fatty.
The pan-fried shrimp dumplings were really good, not smaller like other places but a decent amount each piece.
The fried rice needed a little salt, but you can add to taste ,and the pan-fried buns and shumai were good as well.
The only thing I'd say is again, it's about service. You can tell they are busy, but when I was able to hail down a waitress and ask for a drink for my wife it never came, so I had to hail down another waitress and finally I was able to get one.
On the way out, we never got a bill and had to finally walk up to the counter and tell the woman we were done and she didn't even know or see us and asked if we needed to be seated, not realizing we had just eaten. My wife was not happy because it was the same woman who we asked for the drink who never came back with it.
Overall, the food is good, and it's a decent amount of space and tables inside. If you come with a larger group, you'd be ok. and I'd come back, but I'd probably expect the same service.

In my opinion, Hong Kong Bistro offers the best dim sum in Seattle. The food is good and the service is decent. There’s always a long wait over the weekend. It could be a little bit chaotic and I wish they could invest in an online waiting system. However, as long as you get there before 10:30, they should get you seated immediately.
First time back in over a decade. The place has been renovated with a more modern look.
Service was great. However they should have offered/moved us to a bigger table considering we ordered for the whole village (I have a black hole in my stomach).
Food came out fast. I enjoyed every dish we ordered. Good portion. Food prices are on par with most Chinese restaurants in the area.
The mango drink was a bit lacking in flavor. Pretty much the only item I didn't like.
