" I loved this place! After hearing so many positive reviews, I decided to check it out while visiting Pike Place. The BBQ pork bun was a delightful treat, with the perfect amount of filling. I also tried the red bean sesame ball, which was surprisingly light and fluffy. However, I found the prices slightly high for the portion sizes. Nevertheless, I plan on coming back during my next trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I expected more based on all the recommendation. The BBQ pork bun was tasty but not outstanding; I'd say it lacked the depth of flavor I'd hoped for. The customer service could also be improved as the staff seemed overwhelmed. I might give this place another shot, but it didn't blow me away. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical about trying a dim sum place in such a touristy area, but Mee Sum Pastry exceeded my expectations. The BBQ pork bun was delightful, with just the right balance of sweetness. The service was quick despite the long line, and I loved being able to enjoy my food while walking around Pike Place. Definitely a must-visit next time I'm in Seattle! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had mixed experiences here. Sometimes the food is fantastic, and other times it's just average. The curries, especially, tend to err on the sweeter side; if you're looking for heat, you might be disappointed. The line moves quickly, but if you catch a busier time, be prepared for a longer wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was busy, which is expected given the location. I opted for the curry beef bun, and while it was decent, I couldn't taste the curry that well—it felt more like a sweet version rather than spicy. The servings were generous though, and I appreciated the speed of service amidst the crowd. Still, I was expecting a more authentic flavor profile. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a must-visit whenever I'm in Seattle! The BBQ pork bun is my go-to item. It’s consistently delicious, and I love the flaky goodness of the crust. They offer a variety of options, and I've never been disappointed. The vibe is casual and friendly, perfect for grabbing a quick bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here with high expectations, but I found the current offerings a bit sweet for my liking. The BBQ pork bun was tasty but missed the savory balance. Not to say it's bad, just different than what I was hoping for. Staff was friendly but seemed rushed at times. " (*Curated Review*)
