Amazing Dim Sum, Long-Time Favorite!
I absolutely love this place! My experience here has been consistently amazing, especially with their dim sum, which is both incredible and offers an endless variety. I highly recommend checking this place out. I first discovered it through Seattle Met Magazine over 6 years ago and have been a loyal customer ever since.

Best Chicken Wings Ever!
My experience at Foo Lam's was fantastic, especially with their salt and pepper wings. They have become a staple for my football Sundays. The wings were very crispy and by far the best I've had. The atmosphere was great, rated 5/5, and the noise level was quiet, making it easy to talk. The food also received a perfect 5/5 rating, and the service was excellent at 5/5.

Roach in food, last visit
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. I found a roach in our food. I have been eating here for a couple of years, but this incident will be my last time visiting.

Best Chicken Feet and Dim Sum!
My experience at Foo Lam was fantastic. I enjoyed being the only person who did not speak Chinese in the restaurant. I had my lifetime best ever & easiest to eat Chinese Style chicken feet at Foo Lam today, 1 October '25. It was the best $6. 00 I've spent on food in Seattle. The shrimp & leek dim sum was also very good. My guess is that the rest of the items on the cart that I did not try are every bit as good.

Wedding Reception Food Was a Hit!
We had our wedding reception here, and the food was the most talked-about part of our event. The service and atmosphere were also excellent, both receiving a perfect score.

Hidden Gem for Delicious Chinese Food!
We discovered this place a few months ago while searching for Chinese food near my mother-in-law's. Little did we know that this Chinese restaurant, which you might easily miss tucked away in a corner of a strip mall, is the best place for amazing dine-in and take-out Chinese food. The prices are good and the staff is always helpful and nice. A special shout-out to the lady we see all the time at the front who always serves us with a smile. It’s nice to be a regular now, greeted with joy and happiness along with delicious food. Glad we found this place, thank you!

Cockroach Found in Noodles!
I visited this restaurant yesterday with my boyfriend because I love their crispy noodles. We couldn't finish them, so we took them home and refrigerated them. Today, I was so happy eating them until I stirred the noodles and discovered a cockroach underneath! I was in disbelief. To make matters worse, I had also bought a take-home order for my family.

Perfect Local Chinese Go-To Spot
This is a perfect local spot for great Chinese food. We usually order for pick up, and I recommend calling them directly to avoid fees for both you and them. The service is great and fast! We've been a regular for years and it has been our go-to spot.

Authentic Cantonese Seafood Gem
This place is my absolute favorite when I’m craving legit Cantonese seafood. The fish, crab, you name it, it’s always fresh and cooked perfectly, just like luxury seafood restaurants in Guangzhou, China. I swear, every bite takes me back to family dinners. It’s also a perfect spot for big groups (they have a karaoke machine). We’ve rolled up with over 10 people, and they took care of us with huge portions, lazy Susans spinning, no stress. And if you speak Cantonese, chat up the aunties! They’re hilarious and will probably tease you while recommending the best/freshest dishes. 100% my comfort-food go-to in Seattle when I visit.

Authentic Cantonese Delights at Foo Lam
My family and I regularly visit Foo Lam for dinner. This restaurant offers authentic Cantonese style Chinese food that my sister, parents, and I enjoy. We ordered the steamed free range chicken, which was served with a garlic sauce and, true to tradition for those unfamiliar with authentic Chinese restaurants, included the chicken head for good luck. The honey walnut prawns are a must-try; the sauce is perfectly balanced, not too citrusy, and the prawns have minimal breading. We also tried an eel stir fry for the first time and found it delicious. The goose was incredibly flavorful, and the fish was cooked to a velvety perfection.
