" I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough! The ambiance is cozy, which is perfect for a casual dining experience. All the dim sum items I've tried have been bursting with flavor and made with quality ingredients. Honestly, the taro buns are out of this world! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having been here multiple times now, I can confidently say that Purple Dot serves some of the best dim sum in Seattle. The flavors are authentic, and the dishes are noticeably fresh. I recommend visiting during off-peak times if you can to enjoy smoother service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not a fan. The food was bland and overpriced, and the service left much to be desired. I've explored better dim sum places across the city, so I won't be returning here. Disappointing. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere is what struck me first - it feels warm and welcoming. The dim sum is quite good, though I've encountered a few items that didn't quite meet my expectations. Overall, I had an enjoyable dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't overly impressed with my visit. The food was mediocre and not particularly authentic, despite the name. Our server seemed preoccupied and didn't check on us much. Not sure I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience during my last visit. I ordered the chef's special dim sum, and what I got felt like a haphazardly prepared dish lacking freshness. I could tell the kitchen was overwhelmed, but I expected better quality for the price. Hopefully, this was a one-off scenario. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time here, and I enjoyed the experience. The decor was nice, but it was a bit crowded. I found the menu overwhelming, but the staff was kind and guided us through it. The food was fresh and well presented, but my order took longer than expected. " (*Curated Review*)
