Little Ting’s Dumplings
Inside Little Ting’s Dumplings
Little Ting’s Dumplings is a modest, straightforward spot tucked away in Seattle’s North End, known primarily for its focus on handmade dumplings and traditional Chinese comfort dishes. The vibe here is casual and unpretentious, catering to people looking for a hearty meal without the fuss. It leans into the kind of neighborhood dining where locals pop in for reliable, filling food rather than a polished dining experience.
Regulars appreciate the substantial portion sizes and the care put into the dumplings, with favorites often including the pork and chive, as well as the chive and scallops dumplings. Beyond dumplings, the menu offers a variety of noodle dishes—both spicy and mild—and classic small plates like dry-fried string beans and Mapo Doufu, presenting a solid range of Chinese home-style flavors. The braised beef noodle soup and spicy handmade noodles stand out as warming, satisfying choices especially on chillier days.
Most visitors come during lunch or dinner, often craving something that hits the spot after a busy day or to warm up on a rainy evening. The kitchen tends to serve dishes hot and fresh, which adds to the feeling of a homemade meal. Delivery and takeout are popular here too, with many locals ordering enough to have leftovers, pointing to the generous servings.
The atmosphere is straightforward—functional seating, minimal decor—but it’s the food that brings people through the door. The service is described as friendly and efficient, with an emphasis on delivering good flavors rather than elaborate presentation. Little Ting’s Dumplings works well for diners who appreciate authentic, no-frills Chinese food, especially those with a soft spot for dumplings in all their varieties. It’s a practical neighborhood haunt rather than a destination spot, ideal for those who know what they want and want it done well.
