Tips were added onto my receipts by themselves

by tynap at Citysearch

They added the tips by themselves onto the receipt. Looking at my bank statement it shows different amount. This is considered a scam. I've already put tips on the table. Regardless they shouldn't have done that. Be careful!!! This isn't right. I am going to dispute this but feel the need to inform people out there.

• Cons: Will never go there again

Most recent trip to noble court

by CSMobileUser at Citysearch

Place was jammed. After a 45 minute wait my guests and were seated and service was prompt and courtious. I ordered my fave honey walnut prawns. My friends had sizzling dishes and veggie plate. All in all, a wonderful experience and the prices were well within this quality range. In my view, its defininetly a must taste

Just average

by VickyLam at Citysearch

I used to go to Noble Court all the time while I was growing up and remember it being great. I went back a few weeks ago and it was just average. I think they changed owners or something. It was definitely on the greasy side as well.

Worst place in Puget Sound

by sleepless2006 at Citysearch

The place is dirty. The food is not good. The service is awful!!!! Whenever I go into a Chinese restaurant, I am automatically served tea. Duh! When we asked our waitress if we could have some tea, she replied "You've got water." Then when the waitress served the soup, she slopped it all over the lazy susan. DO NOT go here. Believe me, you will receive better food and service at Denny's or even McDonalds.

• Pros: None.
• Cons: Ambience, food and service.

Tasty but loud and dirty

by joyluckclub at Citysearch

The food was pretty good. However, the service was aweful. It was so loud that we had to shout across the table to communicate. The bathroom was the killer. They mopped the floor with sopping wet mop that made it worse. After you've been to the bathroom, you'd wish you hadn't been there.

• Pros: Nice parking
• Cons: Dirty bathroom

Best Dim Sum in the Seattle Metro Area (including China Town!)

by thejinks at Citysearch

We went to Noble Court for the first time yesterday for Sunday Dim Sum and we were thrilled. Since moving here two years ago from Portland where we had a fantastic Dim Sum place in Portland's Chinatown, we have been disappointed with the Dim Sum we've tried in Seattle's China Town. People told us about Noble Court and we read good reviews on Citysearch so we finally went. We live in the Mill Creek area so this location works out great for us! We found wonderful, attentive, friendly service, we got there early and were seated immediately, immediately had our drinks and the most wondeful complementary hot tea, they actually asked us if we wanted forks (which we did, not good chopstix users here!) and the carts immediately were coming around - within about five minutes we had a table full of delicious Dim Sum plates. All of the food was very hot, fresh and scrumptious! There were three of us and we had a lot of food -we kept adding more plates as we emptied others, one of us had a soda (watch the soda, they charge $3 which is a bit steep!) ate until we were stuffed and with tax it came to $46 which we didn't think was too bad in comparison to other dim sum places we've been. The dining room is arranged very well for Dim Sum where the carts can make a full circle and get all of the tables, there is a lovely view out the window of the gardens and they have lots of parking. This is our new Dim Sum place and we have to admit it is even better than the beloved place we had in Portland! We HIGHLY recommend it (get there early or you will be waiting in line!) and we will be going back in a couple of weeks!

• Pros: Great Dim Sum, good variety, fast and friendly service, large parking lot
• Cons: By about 11:15 am on a Sunday the place was PACKED - if you don't arrive early, you'll be waiting in line!

Cantonese is key at the Eastside's premier Chinese spot.

by Contributor at Citysearch

The Scene
Heavily dressed in neon outside, Noble Court is modest inside: good table linens and lots of fake plants and flowers. Even though it seats more than 200, this place gets slammed during the lunch hour for dim sum. On weekends, expect to wait up to an hour amid crowds of families.

The Food
This is a Hong Kong place, meaning it draws heavily on Cantonese traditions, but it also picks and chooses from other regional cuisines. The dinner menu includes about 100 choices, including hot pots, sizzling platters and familiar items like General Tso's chicken and moo shu pork. Knowledgeable diners plunge into a short Chinese menu offering specialties like chilled jellyfish and beef tendon (belly meat that's slow-cooked with star anise, rock sugar and soy and sliced paper thin).

I took my friend to noble court for dim sum last week, I couldn't believe what a wonder place we walked in, we were seated by the window with beautiful view of the creek and garden, fresh little dishes on the dry and steam cart that comes around, especially the honey walnut prawns, sesame seed beef, general tso chicken and many many more. It is the best dim sum I have never have on the east side, fresh item on the cart every time, best of all is the quality and great service.

• Pros: reasonable, good parking, best view

Best DimSum on the Eastside!

by vittles at Citysearch

My husband and I have been going to Noble Court almost without fail, every weekend for the last 3 years for dim sum. Good greasy comfort food favorites are the chicken feet and spare ribs on the steamer cart. The changfen, shrimp (or scallop) dumplings, conjee, and gailan are also great. Mustn't be shy in ordering!

• Pros: Dim Sum!
• Cons: Dinner menu, Crowded parking
