  4 0 Teapot doesn't do dim sum. Sadly, the really good veg dim sum place, Vegetarian Bistro, closed recently. Might try Vegan Garden, in the ID. They are owned by the folks who ran the Bistro.

  3 0 Northwest Tofu, at 19th and Jackson. They make their own tofu daily, and there's a whole page of veg/tofu versions of standard dim sum dumplings. The salt and pepper tofu is delicious, as is the green onion pancake. Most things are available with pork or chicken, too, so omnivores won't feel deprived. It's not very pretty inside, but the food's great, and really cheap. alight answered in Alternavores over 3 years ago | Report 1 comment by Mr. Feeble… 0 0 Whoa, I have not been able to find a veg dimsum place! next time i'm in seattle I'll hit it up! thanks!

  2 1 Dim sum tends to be generally vegetarian unfriendly. Most dim sum places don't consider seafood "meat", and will happily bring out shrimp dishes to the vegetarian at the table. This isn't much of an answer; it's more of a warning about being careful if you're a vegetarian eating at a normal dim sum place. Unless you like shrimp. Scalpel answered in Alternavores over 3 years ago | Report 2 comments by Arsenic7 and Aislinn… 0 0 I think this is probably pretty true. Arsenic7 commented over 3 years ago | Report 0 0 Agreed. I'm a vegetarian, and the very few times I have gone to dim sum I have tried really hard to find things to eat, but it usually is just noodles and dessert-type things, and even those I've been resigned to the fact that there's probably some sort of meat product in them. I think the dim sum experience is really fun, but its general meatiness is why I don't go more often.

  0 0 Wow, I have been wondering this myself lately! I loved the creative veggie Dim Sum at Vegatarian Bistro and was very sad to find out it closed. Teapot and Vegan Garden don't have Dim Sum, but I am excited to try NW Tofu per alight's suggestion. I just wish they were open past 5:30! seattle firefly answered in Alternavores over 3 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 1 Yeah I think you are mostly out of luck here. I took my girlfriend to a Dim Sum joint a couple months ago not realizing that, though she isn't a vegetarian, she generally doesn't like a lot of meat and loathes seafood. There really was very very little she was able to actually stomach and there would have been less if she eliminated meat all together. We're talking MAYBE some of the deserts but even then you can't be totally sure. Chinese food culture is very animal product centric. Arsenic7 answered in Alternavores over 3 years ago | Report 1 comment by Andy… 0 0 I agree that traditional dimsum is meat-heavy (especially shrimp and pork), but that last part is not true. Because of the prevalence of Buddhism, where veganism is a tenet, in Chinese culture, there are lots of soy-based alternatives to meat available. You can find some of them in various restaurants around the city, but there aren't enough vegan Buddhists in Seattle that it is as common as it is in places where the majority is Chinese. And I would be hard-pressed to think of any vegan dimsum other than Northwest Tofu.
