Bellevue has no Chinatown in the sources read; Seattle's Chinatown-International District is across Lake Washington. Wikipedia says that since the 2010s Bellevue has become a hub for Chinese cuisine, especially regional cuisines, with restaurants in downtown and the eastern neighborhoods. The seven kitchens here are on NE 10th Street downtown, on NE 20th Street and 148th Avenue NE in ZIP 98007, and in Factoria.

Operator dim sum menu PDF (image menu, dine-in price list, file dated January 2026), read 2026-10-01 at about 01:30 US Pacific. The operator's Toast ordering page only showed the dinner menu overnight, so dim sum online prices were not read. The dinner PDF lists Kung Pao Chicken at $20.85 while Toast lists it at $22.85, so online prices can run $2 higher on some dishes. Checked ; before tax, tip and fees. Prices can change, and delivery-app prices are often higher than the restaurant’s own.

Facing East Time's own site says it opened in Downtown Bellevue and prints 11102 NE 10th St #101. Dumpling & Noodle prints 11000 NE 10th St Ste B on the same street in the same ZIP. Wikipedia lists Downtown as a Bellevue neighborhood and says the city's Chinese restaurants opened in downtown and the eastern neighborhoods. Taiwanese street food and northern dumplings and noodles are a short walk apart.
Sum Yee Kae (14505 NE 20th St Suite R), The Northern Dumplings (14505 NE 20th St) and Spicy PoPo Szechuan Fish (14701 NE 20th St Suite B) print addresses on the same stretch of NE 20th Street. This is the one stretch where Cantonese dim sum, northern Chinese home cooking and Sichuan stone-pot fish sit near each other, so one trip can cover three different meals. None of the three operator pages names a neighborhood, so the label is the street.
Tasty Szechuan prints 707 148th Ave NE and says it has about 70-80 private parking spaces. Its own site describes modern Sichuan cooking with live seafood, a table for up to 20 and private rooms for 50-60 guests, so it is the group-dinner stop rather than a quick lunch. The operator page does not name a neighborhood.
Wikipedia places Factoria between Interstate 90 on the north and Interstate 405 on the west, and says T&T Supermarket opened its first U.S. location there in 2024. Dim Sum Factory's ordering pages print 4092 Factoria Blvd SE, 98006, and the Visit Bellevue listing prints 4092 Factoria Mall Blvd SE. It is a different trip from Downtown Bellevue and from NE 20th Street.
Bellevue has no Chinatown in the sources read for this guide. Wikipedia's Bellevue article does not use the word, and it says that since the 2010s Bellevue has become a hub for Chinese cuisine, especially regional cuisines, with restaurants in downtown and the eastern neighborhoods. Seattle's Chinatown-International District is a different city and a different trip: Wikipedia describes it as the center of Seattle's Asian American community, with Chinatown, Japantown and Little Saigon, and says Bellevue is across Lake Washington from Seattle, connected by floating bridges. This guide stays in Bellevue and lists kitchens on NE 10th Street downtown, on NE 20th Street, on 148th Avenue NE and in Factoria.
Where can I get dim sum in Bellevue?
Two kitchens in this guide serve dim sum. Sum Yee Kae at 14505 NE 20th St Suite R lists dim sum Monday-Friday 10:30 AM-3:00 PM and Saturday-Sunday 9:00 AM-3:00 PM, with Steamed Prawn Dumpling at $7.38 and Steamed Pork & Shrimp Shiu Mai at $7.28 on its dim sum menu PDF. Dim Sum Factory at 4092 Factoria Blvd SE lists Sunday and Saturday 10:00 AM-10:00 PM and Monday-Friday 11:00 AM-9:00 PM, with Shrimp Dumpling (4) at $7.99 and Pork & Shrimp Shiu Mai (4) at $7.99 on its ordering menu. Dumpling & Noodle and The Northern Dumplings sell dumplings and baozi, which are not dim sum plates.
Where is Sichuan food in Bellevue?
Two kitchens in this guide are Sichuan restaurants. Spicy PoPo Szechuan Fish at 14701 NE 20th St Suite B sells stone-pot fish in five flavors, Mapo Tofu at $14.99 and Chili Oil Cucumber at $7.99, open daily 11:30 AM-9:00 PM per its site. Tasty Szechuan at 707 148th Ave NE describes modern Sichuan fusion with live seafood, a lunch menu of Mapo Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken and Chopped Pepper Hot Fish at $9.99 each on its Chowbus page, and a reservation page for groups. Dumpling & Noodle also lists dan dan noodles at $14.50.
Which Bellevue Chinese restaurants are in Crossroads or Factoria?
Factoria: Dim Sum Factory at 4092 Factoria Blvd SE, 98006. Wikipedia bounds Factoria by Interstate 90 on the north and Interstate 405 on the west and says T&T Supermarket opened its first U.S. location there in 2024. Crossroads: Wikipedia places the neighborhood south of Bellevue-Redmond Road, east of Wilburton and north of Lake Hills. None of the seven operator pages read names Crossroads, so this guide does not assign a restaurant to it; the NE 20th Street and 148th Avenue NE kitchens are labeled by street and ZIP 98007 instead.
Which of these Bellevue Chinese restaurants deliver, and does the price change?
Sum Yee Kae names Fantuan, DoorDash, UberEats and Grubhub on its delivery page, with dim sum delivery until 2:30 PM. Dim Sum Factory, Spicy PoPo, Dumpling & Noodle and The Northern Dumplings show Delivery on their own ordering pages, and the last two list about 30 minutes. Tasty Szechuan is on DoorDash, with Pickup Order only on its own Chowbus page. Facing East Time's Toast page is Pickup Only. Channel prices differ: Sum Yee Kae lists Kung Pao Chicken at $20.85 in its dinner PDF and $22.85 on Toast, and Tasty Szechuan's DoorDash dinner items such as Chongqing Deep Fried Chicken at $25.19 are priced above its $9.99 Chowbus lunch plates.
