Ocean Star: Savor Authentic Dim Sum and Seafood Delights in Seattle

No wait line but have to write down my order, I prefer when they bring the carts around instead. The dim sum was good except for mango pudding and red bean coconut pudding. Watch out when you order because it can get pretty pricey.

Are is here my opinion as a chef, Asian fusion , French and American cuisines. This place is better than I thought. I thought it would be more Americanized. So, I ordered mostly traditional Chinese dishes. All the dishes we ordered were good with the exception of the scallion Oyster. The oyster breading was too much and over cooked. Also it was way too much white onion and didn’t taste the actual oyster. The black chicken soup is quite good with good flavor. The steam claim with ginger was cooked just right, tender and very favorable. The deep fry pigeon was ok, good taste. I also ordered garlic steam Dungeness crab. It was done perfectly. I can’t comment Americanized dishes since I don’t usually order those. I like to stick to traditional Italian, French, Asian cuisine. The service was very good and very attentive. Price wise, well I ordered quite a lots of seafood so the tab was a bit higher than normal. Overall, I think it is between $$ - $$$. I will definitely come again.

Great food. Quiet place. Nice free parking!!! Good prices.

The first time I came here was when I took my grandmother out to lunch (Dim sum) - the moment she told me it was her favorite place, I knew I was going to love it. The second time I came through was with my driver and his large Lincoln Navigator - we tried going to there other restaurants before I remembered Ocean Star has a ginormous parking lot! Who has parking in Chinatown?! Ocean star does. Now I returned for a sounders game and it’s still wonderful. Great food, extremely attentive and helpful staff, and I’ll go ahead and repeat the great food again! I had the Veggie foo Yong (thicker and tastier than others), veggie fried rice (tastier than others veggie FR), and honey walnut prawns.

Very friendly service and nice atmosphere. Free parking lot with like 20 spaces which is amazing for being in Chinatown! Tons of seating and good for large get togethers or events. All the food was pretty good and had a standard type of flavor. No big downsides. They have all day dim sum to order along with their other normal dishes. Some items were priced a little higher than normal, but there were some good deals as well. The duck was a fair portion for a fair price ($8.50). It did seem a little old, but it was still yummy. The tripe was somewhat muted in flavor, but we finished it all. Green beans had a nice flavor and a fresh crunch to them. Good portion. Rice was $1.50 per small rice bowl, which might be my only complaint. They do give you complementary hot tea. Credit cards are accepted.

We enjoyed a fabulous lunch here, sharing our dishes, and boxing up what we couldn't finish. The portions are huge, colorful, and beautiful. The soup was outstanding and very spicy! Yum!

They offer dimsum all day; we ordered 9 dishes and they were really good. Service was pretty fast, and our servers promptly refilled our teapot/cleared empty dishes. The final price was way lower than we expected, so we’re pretty happy. Overall I defintely recommend if you want some dimsum.

This experience overall was amazing. The staff were nice, the food was amazing and the restaurant had plenty of seats and free parking. There was a very wide variety of different foods and I must recommend the sponge cake. I highly encourage everyone to dine in or take out
