Beacon B.B.Q. — Restaurant in Seattle

I think the reviews here are skewed downward because Google keeps asking people about the "service" and the "atmosphere" and asking if you "dined in." This is a takeout place with a limited set of hot and fresh options that it totally nails! When they charge your card, there isn't even an option to tip -- it is totally set up for takeout and maximizing your value. And it is basically perfect as a takeout place! The food is good, but most notably, you get served fast, it's cheap, and the portions are huge! Get your nose in there, get served, and get out!

All items are above average size compared to in-restaurant dim sum.

Shrimp ball and the "footballs" are above average quality compared to regular dim sum.

Roast pork and fried chicken wings (catering only?) are significantly better than average.

Everything else is average quality compared to avg restaurant-quality dim sum, but it's not worse than average! And average dim sum at low prices quickly obtained ain't a bad thing!

I enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, kind people at the counter, and everything about the experience. I recommend this place, but be aware of what you...

Great place for quick dim sum. Their hot foods menu is great too. $12 for a whole soy sauce chicken isn't a bad price. if you have a huge order call ahead of time. the guy at the front, who I think is the owner, told me to get there earlier so they don't have a line. Mind you they open at 9 and I got there at 9:22am. I was a little thrown off by that comment because I dont think I had that big of an order either. it wasn't like I order $100 worth of food. it was $45 worth. Even tho that left a sour taste in my mouth I would still go back because their dim...
