18 Sensational Chinese and Taiwanese Restaurants in the Seattle Area

"Washington is one of only five US states where you’ll find the xiao long bao soup dumpling palace known as Din Tai Fung, which now has Seattle-area locations at University Village, Southcenter (Tukwila), Pacific Place, and Lincoln Square (Bellevue). This Taiwanese import is a great place to explore a diverse menu of dumpling, noodle, and rice dishes. It’s almost hypnotizing to watch through the window as workers make the chain’s famous soup dumplings, which are as delicate and delicious as everyone says, although the shrimp-and-pork shao mai are arguably even better." - Jay Friedman
