We went to Noble Court for the first time yesterday for Sunday Dim Sum and we were thrilled. Since moving here two years ago from Portland where we had a fantastic Dim Sum place in Portland's Chinatown, we have been disappointed with the Dim Sum we've tried in Seattle's China Town. People told us about Noble Court and we read good reviews on Citysearch so we finally went. We live in the Mill Creek area so this location works out great for us! We found wonderful, attentive, friendly service, we got there early and were seated immediately, immediately had our drinks and the most wondeful complementary hot tea, they actually asked us if we wanted forks (which we did, not good chopstix users here!) and the carts immediately were coming around - within about five minutes we had a table full of delicious Dim Sum plates. All of the food was very hot, fresh and scrumptious! There were three of us and we had a lot of food -we kept adding more plates as we emptied others, one of us had a soda (watch the soda, they charge $3 which is a bit steep!) ate until we were stuffed and with tax it came to $46 which we didn't think was too bad in comparison to other dim sum places we've been. The dining room is arranged very well for Dim Sum where the carts can make a full circle and get all of the tables, there is a lovely view out the window of the gardens and they have lots of parking. This is our new Dim Sum place and we have to admit it is even better than the beloved place we had in Portland! We HIGHLY recommend it (get there early or you will be waiting in line!) and we will be going back in a couple of weeks!
Pros: Great Dim Sum, good variety, fast and friendly service, large parking lot
Cons: By about 11:15 am on a Sunday the place was PACKED - if you don't arrive early, you'll be waiting in line!
