Finding dim sum in Ballard is just about impossible. In fact Yelp names La Carta De Oaxaca, the Mexican restaurant on Ballard Ave, as having the best dim sum in the neighborhood. That says a lot.
So while the new dim sum restaurant isn’t in Ballard, it is closer than the International District. It’s just in Wallingford (4900 Stone Way.) According to our sister site, My Wallingford, the former owner of House of Hong in the ID has decided to open his new Chinese restaurant, called Bamboo Village, in north Seattle.
Bamboo Village will serve dim sum all day everyday as well as Cantonese and Mandarin dishes. The new restaurant is slated to open in late May or early June. You can read more about the new restaurant here.
I've been down to House of Hong many times–will be happy to have some dim-sum closer!
This is great news! Dim Sum is definteley needed near Ballard!
Wonderful! I love House of Hong! Too bad Wallingford got them, and we didn't.
Oh oh. If they're even halfway good I can just imagine the mobs waiting to get in this “small restaurant” on weekends.
This is great news, I hope is it good! Maybe now we won't have to trek over to Noble Court.
Huzzah!! Can't wait!
