Anyone know any good ones?

I've found good ones in San Diego, San Fran, and Portland, but don't know of any good ones in my own area.
I figure there's got to be one in or around Tacoma & Seattle somewhere.
The places with the roast ducks on hooks are almost always the best. The ones where no one speaks English are even better.

Thanks.

King cafe but they're gone.

The Four Seas in China town is good.

Do you work Downtown RVW?

Four Seas is good, so is Jade Garden and Noble Court on the eastside.

There used to be a really good place in Georgetown called My Dad's Dim Sum but I think the son and father had a business dispute, the son assulted his father, ...and they shut down.

No I don't work downtown but used to.....EMT/Firefighter also worked some of the hospitals on pill hill.

Jade Garden IS also excellent.

Salty and soy sauce chicken along with real BBQ pork still brings a smile when lookin' for a quick fix.

That reminds me maybe I'll have little woman stop on her way home tonight.....

The Purple Dot and Sun Ya in China Town and The Great Wall down in Renton by Ikea. All of 'em pretty good but Sun Ya has kind of a funky smell when you first walk in (lots of roasted ducks hanging by the kitchen). Nobody here makes Dim Sum like in San Fran though, it all pales in comparison. Closest thing would be up in Vacouver.

What do you like down here? Wong's King on se division(?) is the best I've found...

That sounds about right..Wong Kee or something...Corner place right down Main Chinatown "strip"....where they bring different dishes around on carts and write down what you take on a card...not that old crappy chop suey joint kitty corner.

I used to go to a place at about 145th and Aurora......little hole in the wall. They have a dish called ja jang myeon, or cha jang mein that was out of this world. Seafood, vegetables and mushrooms served on noodles with a sweet black bean paste sauce. If you're close with the name, they'll know what you're looking for.

Awesome dish.

Sorry......can't remember the name of the place........but I could take you there.

Oh BTW, there's a new Korean BBQ Hot Pot "grill at yer table" joint in Tanglewild in Lacey.

Its called "Number 1 Korean BBQ" there's a sign that says "we no take check"... it's the best Korean Ive had outside Vancouver BC.

I love Ja Ja Mien (or however it is spelled). Thought I was the only white guy that eats it.

I used to eat at the Kau Kau all the time back inthe 80s. Great barbeque. I wonder if they are still serving the braised goat brains?

hung far lo in portland.

" kitty corner" That's the place. They serve the best "chicken" in town.

Last time I was down there, for Beerfest, I tried to get a pic of that sign but the sun was behind it and it didn't turn out and I had about 30 Burnside junkies eyeing my camera.

Stolen off the Intarwebz:

If you're in Victoria, Don Mee's, which has the tackiest neon sign on the street, has dim sum after midnight. Given the cheesey sign, I really didn't expect much but it was great. Of course, we'd been pounding beer at Swans before that so it may not be that great but my beer induced hunger didn't care.
There's also a small place across street that sometimes has dungeness crab in black bean sauce that is killer.

In Seattle's international district.........Kau Kau for anything barbecued. You know how some places give you barbecued pork and the slices are dry and chewy? Not Kau Kau, sweet and tender with some fat for more flavor. Their duck is pretty good too.

OK Chuck--your on, I'm buyin--when we goin!

As far as I'm concerned, there ain't nottin better than DIM SUM.
