Purple Dot Cafe

Christmas Day dim sum! This place was jam packed which was probably why the service was super super slow with items coming out one at a time. Food was decent... ordered dim sum along with a few dishes from the menu. Did not take pictures of everything. Nice interior and spacious tables for seating. Staff nice but just overwhelmingly busy today.

This has been my husband and I’s favorite place over the last three years since we’ve been together. Great service, awesome quality and open till 2am which is amazing if you have just watched a Seahawks game! They have a huge selection of food and deserts and they are so quick on getting it out on the table! Shout out to Louis who is the most hard working guy at the front desk and has been working with the restaurant for many years! This man is so good at getting everyone seated and always ready to take an order:) very deserving of a raise! Will be coming back even if we live outside of Seattle now 👍

I have been going here for what seems like forever, but is probably the better part of 18 yrs. This is hands down one of the best in the area. Food is always the star here with everything from Dim Sum to fresh seafood, and American Chinese dishes . Price is very fair for what you you get, and for the downtown Seattle area .

We stopped in for Sunday morning dimsum, and overall had a pretty good experience. Some of the dishes were very good, but others disappointed. I'm sure after another visit and working through the menu, it would be easy to know what to order for the best experience, but it's a shame some of my favorite items didn't make the cut on the first time around. The short ribs were delicious, the steamed pork buns were excellent, and they have the best chicken feet I've had to date. The shrimp rice rolls had way too much roll, and not enough shrimp, and the fried shrimp stuffed eggplant was bland and mushy. We had several other items, and they all followed the same pattern. If you are willing to give it a couple of tries, you'll have a decent spot to show up and have good food and, from what I've seen, not have the wait times of other options in the area. I'd definitely be willing to go back, it just wouldn't be my first choice given the other options nearby.
