Purple Dot Cafe - Seattle

We were in search of a quick lunch spot and decided to stop in here. We used to visit this place in the evenings, so we were pleasantly surprised to discover that they serve dim sum as well. The menu features the usual dim sum offerings, and the quality is comparable to that of other dim sum restaurants in the area.

I have no complaints about the portion sizes or prices at Purple Dot Café. The food is quite impressive, and I appreciate that they didn’t load my Pepper Chicken dish with unnecessary fillers like onions and celery. The BBQ duck noodle soup was fantastic. The broth and noodles were delicious, but it would have been better if the duck had been deboned. The custard pies were a lovely addition, although I probably wouldn’t have ordered them if I had known how much they cost. The service could definitely be friendlier. There was no "hello" or "thank you," which I've experienced before at other Asian restaurants. (Pictures from my visit to Purple Dot Café are posted.)

Chowing down at the Purple Dot!. Well I figure I would squeeze in a few more Yelps before leaving for a wedding in Minnesota in a few days. Many new adventures, hopefully all positive will await us!After spending a lengthy amount of time at the nearby Seattle Pinball Museum, Steve and I were hungry!The other places we had bookmarked were closed or not picking up their phone so we picked the Purple Dot Cafe.We were a little suspicious with their review average but we were glad we went ahead and gave them a try!I ordered Vegetable Chow Mien. Oh wow, was that good! Everything tasted fresh and the crispy chow mien was simply outstanding!Steve got a kind of spicy tofu dish with pepper, it too was delicious!We were getting too full to finish everything so we took in home to enjoy the next day.Mmmmm! We really enjoyed our meal here!

The perfect place for a 2 AM dinner after club hopping in Belltown. The coconut shrimp are amazing! It has a fun vibe reminiscent of a children's birthday party from the '90s.

Very Fun Experience. I 've got to get back to this place with my camera, because it 's just a fun, colorful place. I 'm almost 40 and this was my first 'proper ' dim sum. A co-worker brought me a group for lunch and we tried a little bit of everything on the cart. She had very high expectations and seemed to know the staff well, so she specifically asked for fresh green beans, and ordered a couple of items that weren 't on the carts. I 'm definitely going back and trying more stuff. Delicious!
