Classic dim sum at a local mom and pop shop.Unlike the massive go to dim sum places nearby, this smaller dim sum shop is a true classic. Everything is made fresh and with care.Often at other popular dim sum stops I notice a big decline in quality, but every time I've come here it's just as good as the last time.Their salt and pepper wings are a must get, I also love their dumpling soup. The dumplings themselves are flavorful. If you need caffeine their yuan yang is great and you can add as much or as little sugar as you want.It also helps that the interior is the same cute vintage style you'd expect to see back in the day.

3 stars in way I would come back!! Why- no lines!!! :) food is not bad or good, pricing is fair. Support momma pop shop. New ownership as a year ago. Food- ordered a variety of dim sum to Cantonese style dishes. Confidence with an "Excellent" rating from cleanliness from the city. *HK tea $3.50 was solid. They give it unsugared and you control sweetness with table side sugar. * har gow- solid pieces of shrimp, good size. * sesame balls with red bean paste were standard. * glutinous rice footballs were a little sticky but fine. * Chinese donut rice roll was fresh. * bbq pork steamed buns were good. * rice roll with bbq pork was good. Their soy sauce is a little deeper than usual "diluted" sweet soy sauce. Still good. * pork and shrimp wonton- large wontons, tender which one whole shrimp in each. *baked pork chop was homey, nothing spectacular but good. I would order it all again. Service- front lady spoke limited English. Friendly. They have tableside menus and Minitable platform- which I love! Ambiance- homey restaurant. Nothing fancy. Value- fair Parking- street Recommend- I would not go out of my way to go there. But if you're around and want something easy, this is perfect. Can't wait to come back to try more!!

They have breakfast specials combos that run from 8am-11am for $8.88. The deal is pretty sweet if you are looking for a simple Cantonese styled breakfast. The combo is pretty solid.Their shrimp & pork wonton noodle soup is good too. I wasn't expecting ginger in the wontons. It doesn't hinder the quality of the wontons, it's just an ingredient that I wasn't used to. Their buttered pineapple bun was ok. I'd had better elsewhere.The owner, a lady, can speak toi san, Cantonese, mandarin and english. Yeah this place seems solid for Cantonese styled food. I'll recommend it!

I really really miss a good cha chan teng in Seattle. This city is really lacking in good Cantonese food but this place is good enough to return to when the cravings hit. Pork chop baked rice was good in terms of taste but the cut of pork chop that came with our order was mostly cartilage. Chinese donut rice rolls were great! The rice noodle was thin and it came out fresh with the donut still crispy in the center. These do not keep well as leftovers so I would advise to eat it immediately. Beef dry chow fun is a classic and truly hard to mess up but I felt it was slightly under seasoned. Also needed a splash more of dark soy sauce to really make it look the part. I did like that there was a QR ordering system which the servers recommended we use to beat the wait when they get busy.

Adorable mom & pop place with classic tea house balcony and solid food. Staff was extremely friendly and food was tasty and freshly prepared. Good mix of dim sum staples and classic Hong Kong and Macau dishes like the baked casserole and coffee/tea mixed (if you really know HK diner food then you know this iconic beverage). Quiet and no wait so give them a try next time you're huddled outside next door!

Great place for dim sum if you want to avoid the long lines! My friend and I ordered:- Shrimp balls - good amount of shrimp, tasted fresh (firm shrimp texture), the wrapper was a bit thicker then what I like but my friend enjoyed it- Shumai - firm and not too fatty! My friend normally does not care of Shumai but she liked it here. - Turnip cakes - my favorite! It was pan fried perfectly - Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce - really good and not drenched in sauce. It was parboiled perfectly (right amount of crunch).- Spareribs with bean sauce - good, what you would expect albeit a bit oily - 1x HK milk tea - would like to try this again. I asked for less sugar and I think she put0 no sugar lol. Would also like more ice!The total came to $19 per person w/ tax.Staff was friendly, business was clean (bathroom was clean too!). There are not a lot of tables. Although, this definitely seems like a place where the OG Chinese locals dine. When we came, there was a table of elders celebrating a birthday. The only con is the limited dim sum menu :( they didn't have the sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves, egg tart, stuff eggplants, etc. that you would normally get at a bigger dim sum restaurant. There was no dim sum cart. It is steamed/made to order. However, they did have the staples and that was enough to reel me in. I would definitely come back and try their other Cantonese dishes (sandwiches, chow fun, fried rice, wonton noodle soup, etc.) Harmony Palace is right next to Harbor City so give them a try and support the local moms and pops!

New owners! New spot..they should've mentioned it!What are the odds that place you like would go out of business.. have a new one take over. Use the same phone number. And same menu??! Except it's almost double the price for same entree. And it's the worst version of dish?! I called to order mapo tofu lunch special from Fortuna cafe 2.0. There was no mention of name change/ owner change till pickup. Or lack of lunch special! Which would still be fine since I'm all about trying new spots. But after paying double for supposed mapo tofu.. what I got was tofu in almost ketch up like sauce with peas! And pink pork. Pink color!! Like what? Raw?? Uncooked. It was literally tofu in ketchup. Zero spice, or numbing spice. Even the color was off. Tofu has pink streaks. Not a good look. Yuck!!! First, I would've appreciate them telling me upfront. Second, the worst mapo tofu ever. Literally! Not only I wasted time and money but now I could possibly get sick from eating raw / uncooked pork. Not cool! Not recommended.

Harmony Palace is a new-ish eatery (several months opened) in the Chinatown portion of International District, replacing Fortuna 2.0. They cover primarily breakfast and lunch, with an official closing time at 5pm. We were snooping at 4:55, and they waved us to enter. The staff was having their end-of-day meal, but they asked us to sit down anyway. The lady said it's fine because they would have been working in the back anyway. From what I can tell, it's a very small team where the owners are there with their sleeves rolled up. We ordered extra, extra to have leftovers and to make their extended time worthwhile. The food is basic homey quality, tasty, with generous portions, and very reasonably priced. Their menu is closer to a Hong Kong Style Café, aka cha chaan teng, with dim sum added. There's a bit of everything. Being newly remodeled, they have an "Excellent" rating from King County for food safety handling rating. I must admit that is uncommon for CID and is a pleasant surprise to see here. The Food:Ha Gow, aka Shrimp Dumpling, $5.95 - 5 Stars Generously sized and tasty. This item is a win.Siu Mai - aka Fish Roe & Pork Shui Mai, $5.50 - 4 StarsAlso generously sized, this is very good but not great. Some restaurants do their pork mixed with shrimp and Chinese mushrooms for a more complex flavor profile and texture. Theirs is more in the normal category. Tomato Beef over Rice, $11.75 - 4.5 StarsThe serving size is huge! This dish is easily two servings for most people. Very tomato-y and good chucks of beef. Shrimp Chow Mein, $11.95 - 4 StarsFor the price, there aren't too many shrimps, which is understandable. I genuinely don't mind. I like the thin egg noodles they used. The dish is not oily, nor are the noodles lumped together. It sort of lacks wok hei, but the noodles weren't lifeless. I thought it was a very good dish overall. The portion is comfortable. Someone might be able to finish it, if it's the only thing they ordered. Mixed Mushrooms Cheung Fun, aka rice roll, $6.25 - 3.5 Stars The rice wrap is a bit off in the texture. I can't put a description on it exactly, maybe a bit on the gelatinous side and needs to be a bit limper. People who know cheung fun will know what I'm trying to say. On the flip side, this is one of the most well stuffed cheung fun ever. Lots of mushrooms!Shrimp Spring Rolls, $5.50 - 5 StarsThis was another gem. Well stuffed pieces of crispy fried spring rolls with lots of shrimps. This is the version I grew up and happy to see it again. Note the color of them (see photo); it's relatively light color. When the food is crispy, that means the oil isn't excessively used. It's a good thing.Phoenix Claws, aka Steamed Chicken Feet, $5.50 - 3.5 StarsLove them or hate them or don't want to have anything to do with them, HKers love these. The color is a tad light, and the flavor is a touch on the mild side. Maybe they need to use dark soy? Not sure. Hong Kong style Milk Tea, Iced, $3.95 - 3 StarsThis is just ok. I like my HK milk tea with a stronger tea flavor.

New owner 4 months ago really have made this dim sum.dumplings.spring rolls.rice.noodles.congee.drinks a tucked away gem! Harmony Palace is delish!!!! Electric fans gently rotating around the restaurant provide a tranquil atmosphere. Nice large squeaky clean bathroom to wash your hands before eating. I recommend the sesame balls with red bean inside, dumplings, shrimp/veggie spring rolls, steamed pork bun.
