Four Seas Restaurant ^
714 S King St, Seattle
Date of visit: 10/7/07
What we had: Dim sum
Honestly, I was hoping to try out Jade Palace, but was going to settle for House of Hong when I accidentally walked into Four Seas instead.
There was one cart and one hand held tray going around with all of about six choices for dim sum. Other customers looked as confused as we did and elected to order off the menu. We chose to leave after trying 4 of the 6 offered dim sum selections and headed to Uwajimaya for the rest of our meal.

Pink Pearl Chinese Seafood Restaurant ^^^^
1132 W Hastings St, Vancouver, B.C.
Date of visit: 9/13/07
What we had: Dim sum
One of my all-time favorite restaurants for dim sum. A visit to Vancouver is not complete without stopping in for brunch here.
Served fresh- if an item has been on the cart too long, they won't serve it. If only the Chinese restaurants in Seattle would learn that...

Jumbo Chinese Restaurant ^^½
4208 Rainier Ave S, Seattle
Date of visit: 6/25/07
What we had:
Dim sum
We got to the restaurant later than expected and just caught the tail end of dim sum being served. An over brewed jasmine tea was automatically brought to the table. Two standards, sui mai and ha gao were freshly steamed and flavorful though that wasn't the case for other dishes. A low budget version of lo mai gai, made only with pork was passable, but other dishes are probably more worth your while. The taro dumpling and char sui bao were tasty, but served at room temperature.
Before leaving, we attempted to order char sui bao, dan tat, and jin deui to take home. Instead of getting the baked goodies, we received a rather long lecture about how we should have ordered it at the beginning of the meal. Apparently the kitchen ran out of food, though seeing as how we were only 1 of 2 tables occupied, I'm not sure the food would have been available 20 minutes prior.
