Reviews for Ocean Star in Seattle, WA
Fresh taste. Nice quality Dim Sum. Only order by item selection at the moment. The menu has a majority of the items but... missing some of the items we like. Overall enjoyed our meal and would come back. Read more
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 - wetried going to there other restaurants before I remembered Ocean Star has a ginormous parking lot! Who has parking inChinatown?! Ocean star does. Now I returned for a sounders game and it’s still wonderful. Great food, extremely attentiveand helpful staff, and I’ll go ahead and repeat the great food again! I had the Veggie foo Yong (thicker and tastier thanothers), veggie fried rice (tastier than others veggie FR), and honey walnut prawns. Read more
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. Read more
Went here when we really wanted dim sum with no wait or frills. Pretty basic menu, but they didn’t have rice noodles/rolls... when we came. That was the only downside. Chili oil had good flavor and everything came out fast. I’ll most likely go again ifmy usual go-to isn’t so busy. Read more
Ocean Star has a great selection of Chinese food. I like the dim sum and the crispy pork chop. They have free but limited... parking out front so check it first before paying for expensive street parking. The staff is very attentive, but at time can beinconsiderate as they vacuum literally at your feet as you dine. Read more
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 theexception of the scallion Oyster. The oyster breading was too much and over cooked. Also it was way too much white onion anddidn’t taste the actual oyster. The black chicken soup is quite good with good flavor. The steam claim with ginger was cookedjust right, tender and very favorable. The deep fry pigeon was ok, good taste. I also ordered garlic steam Dungeness crab. Itwas done perfectly. I can’t comment Americanized dishes since I don’t usually order those. I like to stick to traditionalItalian, French, Asian cuisine. The service was very good and very attentive. Price wise, well I ordered quite a lots ofseafood so the tab was a bit higher than normal. Overall, I think it is between $$ - $$$. I will definitely come again. Read more
This is one of the better Cantonese dim sum restaurant in China town area, with decent food, reasonable price, and fast service.... A lot of elder Cantonese people living nearby seem to go here for dim sum on daily basis, which is a good indication about theoverall quality of this place. Read more
Loved the Dim Sum, flavors were fantastic and prices were fair. My only comment would be that each individial item was very... large. I am used to smaller portions which allows for more variety per meal. Read more
