" We recently visited Harbor City Tacoma and were really pleased with the quality of the food. The dumplings were juicy and had that homemade taste that is hard to find in many other restaurants. Our server was quick and attentive, though the atmosphere felt a bit chaotic as it was quite busy. Nevertheless, this restaurant deserves more attention! " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable experience at Harbor City Tacoma! The food quality was notable, and all the dishes were elegant and full of flavor. The atmosphere, however, could be improved with better lighting and a more inviting layout. The service was efficient but lacked warmth. I would still recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Took a chance by visiting Harbor City Tacoma. It was an enjoyable outing! The food came out hot and fresh. However, I found the atmosphere to be a bit cluttered, and it felt like there were hints of the prior restaurant's decor, which could use some sprucing up. The dumplings were juicy and authentic, but the waiting staff could improve their engagement with customers. Overall, worth the visit if you're after solid dim sum. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I visited Harbor City Tacoma and were thrilled with the dim sum menu. Everything we ordered was freshly made and bursting with authentic flavors. Although we appreciated the efficiency of the QR code system, I personally prefer a more hands-on approach. The atmosphere wasn’t the coziest, and it felt a bit cramped. Still, the food was worth the visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Harbor City Tacoma after hearing lots of recommendations, and it was all and more! Authentic flavors with a wide variety of dim sum offerings that didn't disappoint. I appreciate the option to order via QR code, making it easy. The service could be described as brisk— perfect for newcomers as you get seated and served quickly. Overall, a gem in Tacoma! " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits to Harbor City Tacoma, I can confidently say it offers some of the best dim sum around! The flavors are spot on and remind me of Hong Kong cuisine. However, the dining area could use some renovation as it feels dated, and sometimes the service can lag during peak hours. Regardless, I will keep returning for that authentic taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high hopes for Harbor City Tacoma given its reputation, but I was somewhat let down. While the dumplings were tasty and steaming hot, the service seemed overwhelmed. I noticed staff rushing around without adequately checking in on tables. There were good options on the menu, but for the price, I expected larger portions, especially with the dumplings. It’s a cozy local spot, but improvements in service would make it much better. " (*Curated Review*)
