Vegetarian Dim Sum in Seattle

January 14th, 2006

dim sum A vegetarian dim sum restaurant has finally opened in Seattle’s International District. After reading about Vegetarian Bistro on The Stranger’s blog (SLOG), Christian and I decided to try it for ourselves.

As we were seated, the waiter brought over a fresh pot of jasmine tea, which smelled as good as it tasted. We then ordered four different dim sum dishes: pan fried bean curd, pumpkin cakes, deep fried mashed potato stuffing, and steamed hum bun. We also had a main dish of Kung Pow with fake beef, which came to the table first. The King Pow was spicy and the fake beef was tender. Next came the dim sum. My favorite was the steamed hum bun, which tasted like a steamed dumpling with barbecued “chicken.”

I definitely want to return to Vegetarian Bistro again – and soon!
