The people are friendly here! Me and my mom got stuff and enjoyed it a lot! We got it to go but we stayed and ate some of it there and took the rest home. The proportions are good as well as the taste!

Incredible food paired with a great staff. It was our first time dining in today and we couldn’t have been happier. It hit all the right spots. If you’re looking for exceptional dim sum this is the place.

This is my favorite place when I’m craving home cooked Chinese meals! I love their dim sum and congee, and their lunches are delicious. The duck bento and chow fun are our lunch faves, and they make great congee with fried dough and dim sum. My absolute favorite is their steamed rice rolls which is rare to find in Kirkland and they make it traditionally and fresh!
So yummy, convenient, and timely! Absolutely LOVE their dim sum and the workers are amazing.

They say the early bird gets the worm. No worms here. We had a scallion pancake with egg. Very breakfasty. Good. Would have been delicious if we'd used some of the sauces offered on the table. Sesame ball with purple sweet potato. Tasty. Nutritious. Would have been more delicious with less sweet potato focus, maybe custard or more sesame seeds or coconut? Good as it was, but best shared. The best was a flavor sensation for us. Never had its like and I know it will be added to my crave list with mussaman curry and oyster fritters. Think rectangles of rice and taro, pan fried to perfection. Add mystery sauce and carrots soaked in something yummy. Eggs for extra flavor, though they didn't really need them. So good! We will be back. Beyond that, the people were super nice and friendly Thank you, Early Bird Cafe.

I won't soon return. This is one of the few restaurants in town that I have left without eating. Communication is bad and ordering may become a chore. The giant digital board to order on is terrible and some attempts at ordering dishes spelled out and printed with pictures posted on the wall results in a shrug.Try any number of places up the road first.

This is basically a take out restaurant. They have four tables but all food is served in takeout containers. This is the third time we've been there and we have never seen more than two other customers and yet, our order prep time was slow. The quality of the food was mediocre. The Shu Mai had a spongy unpleasant texture. The Congee was just so-so. I am not optimistic about it's future.
Food is extremely salty. Portion is like only half as before.

Stopped this morning around 10. Food was terrific. Customer service even better. Neither I or my mom had ever had congee, so in addition to our order they gave us some to try. It was delicious. Would 100% go anytime I can.

Got two beef Cho fun for $16 to go. Extremely over saluted and very little beef. Undercooked onions. Nasty… ended up in trash… I will never return!!!

Our favorite place to go for tea and dumplings! Everything we have tried so far has been delicious. Our favorite are the shrimp and chive dumplings.

Terrible experience at this restaurant, it's incomprehensible for totally unprepared people to have an establishment, I waited 35 minutes for my order and when I went to ask them the reason for the delay they told me that they forgot my order... This is playing with the customer, I don't recommend it this location.
