Harbor City Tacoma Restaurant

The garlic honey pork ribs and shrimp cilantro dumplings were good. However, the siu mai was not good at all. The beef chow fun was just okay, and the crab soup had a slightly off smell. Overall, some dishes were enjoyable, but others were disappointing.

Dim sum! This was an overall very solid place. Don’t expect anything fancy—it’s very to-the-point—but I would expect some solid dim sum. I ordered the honey shrimp (which came with a little less than I was hoping for, given the price) which I enjoyed. The green beans were the show stopper, though.

This is a mixed review, so please read it all. We had dinner in the restaurant and ordered 4 dishes. We enjoyed the shrimp dumplings and the Chinese broccoli dishes. However, the mandarin string beans and the Beef brisket with rice noodles were disappointing. The meat sauce with the string beans didn’t taste that well. In the noodle dish, the brisket was quite fatty and the noodles came just as an unmixed pile, clinging together. The tea and the rice were very good. The service was good. However, the restaurant was very noisy with the kitchen and staff being the source. If you are getting takeout and selecting your menu items, you should be pleased. I would only recommend the restaurant for takeout due to the ambiance/noise in the restaurant.

Decided to check this place out because it has a branch in the international district. We ordered sumai, shrimp with tofu, fried taro, veggie and salted squid. Everything tasted good but salty and probably had MSG. The salted squid was crispy and tender not chewy. The stir fired veggie was good but I don’t remember, recommended. There was no wait. You have to use QR to order. The service was good. The parking is small, we parked on the street.

Incredible spot! Hot tea comes with the meal. There’s absolutely nothing we got that we didn’t like. Everything came out fast, and just kept coming of course. We wanted to try a lot since we hadn’t been to this location. Everything was so tasty. All very distinct and different flavors. The fried shrimp balls and cheese were so flavorful. The salt and pepper squid was delicious. The General Tao’s was some of the best I’ve ever had. Wonton soup was delicious, had big pieces of bok choy. The shu mai were huge and delicious. The pot sticks were also massive! Lots of veggies, lots of meat. The lotus buns with egg lava were sweet and really good. Good granular texture on the egg. The spare ribs were crispy and sticky with honey, so much flavor. Just in general, the flavor of everything was so good. Sometimes dim sum restaurants make everything that tastes the same, but not the case here. Definitely have to go back, there are a few more things I didn’t get a chance to try. Service was great.
