Dim Sum Restaurants in Everett With Outdoor Seating
Fisherman Jack's is the one dim sum option near Everett with a patio on record: a marina-side room at the Port of Everett with tables looking out over the boats, 3.9 stars on 289 Yelp reviews, doors at 11:30 AM. It is an Asian fusion kitchen with a short dim sum list (won tons, bao, siu mai) rather than a dedicated dim sum house. No other restaurant here has a published outdoor-seating statement, so the rest of the table maps where to eat dim sum inside, from Arlington down to north Seattle.
Those eleven split on what reaches the table. Jade Garden, T&T Seafood, Triumph Valley and HK Dim Sum are built around dim sum, and the last three open at 10:00 AM on Saturday. Dumpling World, T Dumplings House, Dough Zone and Dumpling Generation are dumpling houses that pair their dumplings with noodles, and every one of them outscores those four on Yelp.
Our picks

Eating dim sum outside near Everett
Fisherman Jack's is the answer to the outdoor half of the search, and it asks for a trade. You get the water view and a kitchen that mixes the owner's Cantonese background with Pacific Northwest seafood, so Mongolian beef and crab rangoon share the menu with bao. You give up the long steamer list: it is the priciest room here, and its dim sum selection is shorter than a dedicated house would offer. For a full spread, the choice is to eat indoors.
Steamer spread or dumpling counter
The Style column is the one to read before the stars. Triumph Valley in Shoreline carries the longest steamer list in range, with shrimp dumplings, siu mai, chicken feet, radish cakes and Chiu Chow dumplings. T&T Seafood in Edmonds is the closest thing to a Hong Kong tea house in the north end. HK Dim Sum is a counter inside the Asian Family Market that works from order sheets, not carts. Furi, though Cantonese, has only a four-item Dim Sum Specials section, so it suits a few plates within a bigger meal.
The ratings favor the dumpling houses, and the three lowest scores belong to Cantonese rooms. T&T's 2.9 rests on 724 reviews, with most of the complaints about service and waits rather than the kitchen, and HK Dim Sum's 3.2 across 554 reflects a market counter. At the other end, Yum Cha Dim Sum's 4.0 rests on 5 reviews, which says very little.
Morning dim sum and the drive it takes
Nothing inside Everett opens before 11:00 AM on Saturday. The three 10am rooms are all south: T&T about half an hour away, Triumph Valley roughly forty minutes, and HK Dim Sum in Seattle the farthest stop. Mount & Bao in Lynnwood is roughly twenty minutes away. Yum Cha Dim Sum, twenty minutes north at the Angel Of The Winds casino in Arlington, opens only Friday and Saturday evenings from 5pm.
Weekday afternoons catch people out. Dumpling World closes between 2:30 and 4pm on weekdays, Furi between 3pm and 4:30pm, and Dumpling Generation is closed Mondays and doesn't open until noon on other weekdays. Jade Garden closes Tuesdays.
The options in detail
Jade Garden Chinese Restaurant & Lounge
The one full dim sum menu in downtown Everett, 34 items long, cooked by the owner Sue in a plain room on Broadway. Its Yelp average is the lowest of the Everett options and a lot of the one-star reviews are about slow delivery rather than the food, while people who eat in keep singling out the shu mai and the steamed spareribs. Dim sum runs all day here rather than only at lunch, which is unusual. Closed Tuesdays.
Fisherman Jack's
The answer to the outdoor half of this question: a marina-side room at the Port of Everett with a patio looking out over the boats, run by Jack Ng and Jin Ma. The kitchen is Asian fusion built on the owner's Cantonese background and Pacific Northwest seafood, so alongside won tons, bao and siu mai you get Dungeness crab rangoon and Mongolian beef. It is the priciest room on this list and the dim sum selection is shorter than a dedicated house would offer, but nowhere else nearby lets you eat dumplings outside. Opens at 11:30am daily.
Dumpling World
A small south Everett storefront off Everett Mall Way that has quietly become the best-reviewed Chinese kitchen in the city, and the closest thing to a dumpling specialist inside Everett. The menu is built on dumplings and xiaolongbao alongside noodles and fried rice, so it is soup dumplings and potstickers rather than a steamer-cart spread. It closes between 2:30 and 4pm on weekdays, which catches people out.
Yum Cha Dim Sum
A dim sum and bubble tea counter inside the Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort in Arlington, about twenty minutes north of Everett and the only option on this list that is not south of the city. It is a casino restaurant rather than a destination dining room, and it only opens Friday and Saturday evenings from 5pm, so it is a late-night dumpling stop rather than a morning yum cha. Only a handful of people have reviewed it, so treat the score as thin evidence.
Mount & Bao
The highest-rated dim sum kitchen within a reasonable drive of Everett, and the only one on this list where the dumplings sit next to genuinely spicy food. The house makes its dim sum by hand, so soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings, shumai and pan-fried dumplings come out alongside Hunan cured pork and spicy grilled fish. Reviewers who go for the dumplings tend to end up ordering the Wuhan dry noodles as well. It is a strip-mall room in north Lynnwood, roughly twenty minutes from central Everett.
T Dumplings House
A small Lynnwood room that folds its dumplings by hand and has the best Yelp score of anything on this list. The dishes people photograph most are chili oil wontons, chicken pancake rolls and dandan noodles, so the spread leans Sichuan-spiced snacks rather than a Cantonese steamer cart. Open the same 11am to 9pm every day of the week, which makes it the easiest one to plan around.
Dough Zone Dumpling House - Lynnwood
The regional soup-dumpling chain's Lynnwood branch, on Highway 99 and the most predictable option here: consistent xiao long bao, potstickers and noodles, a bright modern room, and the same 11am to 10pm hours seven days a week. Its Yelp score is middling by the chain's standards and reviewers mostly grumble about waits and portion size rather than the cooking. Come here when you want dumplings without a gamble, not when you want a cart-service dim sum morning.
T&T Seafood Restaurant
The closest thing to a traditional Hong Kong tea house in the north end: a big Cantonese seafood dining room in the Edmonds Shopping Center that runs dim sum from 10am, with chicken feet, shrimp dumplings and honey walnut prawns among the most-photographed dishes. It is also the most divisive room on this list, with a 2.9 average across more than seven hundred reviews, most of the complaints about service and waits rather than the kitchen. Worth the half-hour drive if you want a proper weekend dim sum spread and can be patient.
Furi Chinese Restaurant
A well-liked Cantonese kitchen in downtown Edmonds with a short Dim Sum Specials section of four items, including green onion pancakes, steam buns and juicy pork dumplings. The rest of the menu is classic Cantonese, and honey walnut shrimp and Mongolian beef are what most people order. Come for a few dim sum plates as part of a bigger meal rather than a full steamer spread, and note it shuts between 3pm and 4:30pm on weekdays.
Dumpling Generation - Edmonds
A busy Highway 99 dumpling house with nearly five hundred reviews and a solid 4.2, best known for its pork and chive dumplings and its beef noodle soup. The kitchen is northern Chinese rather than Cantonese, and it carries a real vegetarian and vegan run of dishes, which is rare among the places on this list. It is closed Mondays and does not open until noon on weekdays, though it starts at 11am on Saturdays.
Triumph Valley Shoreline
The second branch of a Renton dim sum house, opened in Shoreline Place, and the longest steamer list within striking distance of Everett: separate Steamed and Pan Fried sections carrying shrimp dumplings, pork and shrimp siu mai, chicken feet in sauce, radish cakes and Chiu Chow dumplings. It opens at 10am on weekends and stops dim sum service at 3pm, so it is the one to pick if you want a proper morning yum cha rather than dumplings with dinner. Roughly a forty-minute drive south, and reviews are mixed on service even where the food lands.
HK Dim Sum
A Cantonese dim sum counter tucked inside the Asian Family Market on Aurora in Haller Lake, the furthest stop here and the one locals name when they say the north end has real dim sum. It opens at 10am seven days a week and runs on order sheets rather than carts. The 3.2 average across more than five hundred reviews reflects a market food counter rather than a dining room, so go for the food and the market shop afterwards, not for the room.
How we researched this
The patio half of this search barely has an answer. Run from Everett, Yelp's own filter for dim sum with outdoor seating found nothing closer than Anacortes, Issaquah, Kirkland and Renton, and Everett itself has only three restaurants serving dim sum at all. So the table widens to places with dim sum on the menu from Arlington to north Seattle, and the City column shows the drive. China City in Mill Creek has outdoor seating but no dim sum on its own menu, so it is not here. Terracotta Red (Pan-Asian, with potstickers as its nearest thing to dim sum), two Everett buffets, Silver Dragon in Everett and Golden House in Mukilteo (no source we could quote names dim sum there), two Edmonds wonton noodle cafes, and a one-review Lynnwood listing were also left out, along with dim sum rooms across the water or an hour out in Kirkland, Bellevue, Issaquah and Redmond.
The eleven blank Outdoor Seating cells mean no published source says either way; only Fisherman Jack's has a plain statement of a patio. Ratings and review counts all come from Yelp so the column compares like with like, and Yelp runs lower here than other sites: Jade Garden is 3.2 on Yelp and 3.9 on Google. Yelp puts eleven of the twelve in the same $$ band, so cost is left out of the table. Hours are as of September 2026, so check them before a special trip, and ask Fisherman Jack's about a patio table before you go.
