Honey Court Seafood Restaurant

Newish and easily one of the best Chinese restaurants in downtown Seattle. No need to wait too long because not too many people know about it (yet). The place is clean and spacious - a very pleasant place to be able to calmly focus on my food and fully enjoy my dinner without being interrupted by servers squeezing by or being disturbed by loud conversations from neighboring tables. Their honey walnut prawns and Chowfun are exquisite. Fully intending to go back and try other dishes.

My favourite chinese food in Seattle for sure. I absolutely love the Fish with eggplant xo sauce dish! The quantities are so nice for the price and the place is always bustling with people. Love the vibe and flavour :D definitely recommend if you want some authentic Chinese.

Really good Cantonese style dishes. Salt pepper prawns, clam soup were excellent! Eggplant fish fillets in XO sauce was too oily and overcooked. Food took a while to arrive and servers could be more attentive.

Seattle's Chinatown International District has no shortage of anchor restaurants that have become literal landmarks in the community. If you are a true Seattle-ite, you know that these restaurants aren't just wayfinders, but tasty destinations to visit often. Located on Maynard Avenue, Honey Court has easily been in Chinatown for at decades, going through several owners, refreshes, and menu changes - COVID-19 included. Honey Court is still one of the destinations for a nice sit-down dinner for two, large parties consisting of a family get together, a group finishing up a late Saturday night on the town, or your preferred place to pick up some quality take out for a dinner at home. The service is more than decent and the busy staff are as attentive as can be for one of the most popular dinner spots in Seattle'd Chinatown! The food is also excellent. For the uninitiated, the menu has been revamped to include your favorites of honey walnut prawns, almond chicken and special egg flour soup. Don't forget the Hong Kong Style Chow Mein with crispy noodles! Now if you are really expert in your ordering, you won't need the menu. They can whip the order up immediately. Garlic green beans? Deep fried squid? Garlic pea vines? Yup. It's there, and then some. I came with family so of course we ordered whole steamed rock-fish with herbs. And of course we ordered their special fried rice. Your experience will vary depending on your mood and what your tummy feels like having. But you won't be disappointed at this restaurant that has earned its place as a community neighborhood favorite. See you at Honey Court!

Decent dim sum. Parking is not easy in the area. Sundays are free. It was busy when we got here but we got a table right away. Order on a laminated sheet. Everything was good but the pan fried dumplings was cold inside. They took it back and gave us a fresh one. The bbq buns with the white tops are good if you like salty/sweet.

Honey Court is one of those places where the food truly makes the wait worth it. We waited about 20–30 minutes for a table, which is pretty standard here, especially during busy hours. Once seated, the food came out in about 15–20 minutes, which was actually faster than expected considering how packed the restaurant was. I ordered a variety of dishes, and everything was delicious: • Egg Foo Young was flavorful and comforting, cooked perfectly without being greasy. • Steamed Shrimp Ha Cao had delicate, thin wrappers with fresh, juicy shrimp inside. • Spare Ribs in Black Bean Sauce were rich, savory, and very satisfying. • Seafood Crispy Noodles were a standout — crispy on the outside, soft underneath, and loaded with seafood in a flavorful sauce. • Honey Walnut Shrimp was perfectly balanced: crispy shrimp, creamy sauce, and just the right sweetness. • Tofu Stuffed Shrimp was unique and surprisingly light, with great texture and flavor. The service was so-so, nothing particularly warm or attentive, but also not bad enough to affect the overall experience. The real star here is definitely the food quality and consistency. If you’re looking for classic Cantonese dishes done well in Seattle, Honey Court is a solid choice. Just come prepared to wait a bit — once the food hits the table, you’ll understand why this place stays busy. I’ll absolutely be coming back.

The cured egg and salty pork Congee were amazing. Deep fried spare ribs for the win. Love this place!!!

Late on a dark, super rainy Saturday night, I experienced this great restaurant. Peaceful classical music. They have tanks with live king crab, dungeness, and lobster. We ordered Walnut Prawns, Sweet n Sour Chicken and Seafood Fried Rice. The waiter suggested our drinks.
