Yes, their service sometimes sucks (like a lot of other asian restaurants), but after this experience, this is the last straw. Not coming back and telling everybody else I know not to come either.Along with ordering some dim sum items, honey walnut prawns, and steamed rice, we also ordered beef chow fun. The waitress kept repeating "beef chow fun?" at us, then one of the cashiers came over to us and asked the same thing, and also if we wanted it crispy or soft. At first, I said with gravy because that's how they usually asked me in the past (especially the waitress with glasses that works there a lot). When that dish came, it was actually beef chow mein. We told them we ordered beef chow fun and they said they would switch it out. My three year old told us that he wanted the chow mein, but I told him to wait until the chow fun came. After the chow fun came, he didn't want any of it and kept asking for the chow mein. We asked the waitress if we can have beef chow mein to go. She talked and acted as if we ordered chow mein in the beginning, which pissed me off. My husband and I don't ever order chow mein. I don't ever eat chow mein unless someone else orders it. We also heard her tell one of the other employees that we ordered chow mein in the first place. Employees at chinese restaurants should complain about customers where the customers can't hear, especially if the customers can understand what they're saying.My husband paid for the bill at the front. As he was getting our daughter's blanket (I accidentally left it on a chair at our table, which was right next to the front), the waitress had the balls TO ASK HIM TO LEAVE TIP "FOR GOOD SERVICE."The only reason why I still kept coming here occasionally was because of their beef chow fun. Now they changed the recipe to be like some other restaurants, which I don't like at all. Their honey walnut prawns are good, but not the BEST in Seattle. Jade Garden and Hong Kong Seafood (on Rainier, not the Chinatown location) makes it just as good.

I'm a Left Coast transplant who spent the first 65 years in Metro New York, and thus am very familiar with the Chinatowns in Manhattan and Queens, and their eateries..The reflex is to choose a restaurant that not only serves well-prepared dishes, but is also cheap & cheerful.After on Sunday lunch for two at Honey Court, Seattle's got a winner. As a twosome, we ordered modestly (one soup, one seafood, one veggie & white rice, additional charge). The food was great. The portions were stupendous enough to feed four (the two of us took enough leftovers in cartons for another meal). And the total bill was $35.The best dishes were 'Salted and Peppered Prawn' (#57, served whole, it's safe to eat every crunchy morsel, inc. head and tail) and #186) the BBQ Pork & Wonton Soup, ultra satisfying on a typical dreary Seattle day in early March. We also ordered #135, Eggplant with 2 Kinds of Mushroom, which was tastily sauced but a bit overcooked -- maybe go with #137, the Shanghai Baby Bok Choy with Garlic?Chinese restaurants often have a laundry-list menu, but if you understand the cooking process, it's actually quite simple. You either trust the kitchen or you don't.After one visit, I trust Honey Court's wok-jockeys. If you live in Seattle, make your way there. If you're a tourist, find this restaurant -- terrific food, great value.

This place is absolutely amazing! I had the almond chicken (it was good but tasted like it was missing something, the walnut prawns (to die for!! And I never eat shrimp), the chow mien (best I have had in Seattle!!) and the mango pudding (which of course was a great way to end the meal).The service was very friendly and made me feel right at home. Sandy was able to answer any questions I had.Ill be back soon!!

Great food and open super late! A yummy place with good family sized portions :D The waitress/waiters are great at helping you pick out some new food too! It is a little dirty in here, especially the bathrooms. A good thing about this place is that there is parking especially for this restaurant right behind their building ;)

My first run in with Honeycourt was during a drunken night out, it was past 1:00am, and I was ready to eat a car I was so hungry. I still managed to remember Honeycourt and we quickly descended into the land of huge plates, questionable aquariums, and an event sized space.Honeycourt is big, I think. I can see a birthday or a wedding take place in this location and I'm sure there probably have been plenty. When you walk in a waitress hastily asks if you are here for take out and when you are not speedily walks you to a table. Depending on where you are seated you can see the aquariums with brownish water containing sad, soon to be devoured, seafood.Food wise it will take you a minute to get through the menu and even more minutes to decide on what to order. There are a lot of choices which can be daunting when you've been drinking or even if you are sober actually. There is a meat section, a seafood section, a vegetarian section, a soup section, appetizers, a meat section, a special section with prized seafood sold at market price. Some of what was scanned on the menu I have never even heard of. I typically stick with the chow mein. Its greasy and you get a heaping serving. Last time I was there I also ordered the seafood vegetable plate which contained some unknown seafoodish products but I was fine the next day so I didn't think twice.Of course this isn't the best seafood restaurant but if you are in the mood for some generic Chinese but not really Chinese food this is a great contender.

You should really try their banquet menu if you have a large group of friends for dinner. Their prices are very good and reasonable and food very authentic and tasty. I loved the flavorful lobster soup, succulent lamb, mushroom and tofu skin, tender taro duck, crispy greens with smooth fish fillet pieces, appetizing sweet and sour pork, crispy roasted chicken, and very yummy mango pudding dessert.Dim sum there is usually good too and I think they open till 2am for hungry night owls.Portions were huge and everyone at the table got leftovers to take home. Tummy was very happy.Food is 4.5 starsCleaniness of the place is 2 stars. Chairs usually have yucky old stains. Restroom is pretty dirty too.Food quality is consistent and good with live seafoods.

A Taiwanese lady I know has been recommending this place as a place to go for Chinese food since last year, but I never had a chance to come here because most of the time when I was ever in International District for food people with me were either interested in Dim Sum (Jade Garden), Noodles Soup (Mike's Noodles House), Vietnamese (Tamarind Tree) or other Specialized Chinese food ( Sichuanese Cuisine Resturant). As such, we always ended up at those restaurants instead. This time though I finally had the reason to go there as it was one of the few places open late into the night (even as late as 3am....hmm **yawn**).I got BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Honey Walnut Shrimps and Salt and Pepper Squid....and wow..the food tasted so good! I stopped by this place around 9:30pm (yup,...I was purposely avoiding the drunk crowds!) and the wait was just 10 minutes. I mean the BBQ Pork Frid rice and the Salt and Pepper Squid tasted good, just like what I expect the food to taste like...but the Honey Walnut Shrimps far exceeded my expectations. **DRUM ROLLS PLEASE...I'm dedicating the whole next paragraph to just to Honey Walnut Shirmp**I have had other similar variation of food to this Honey Walnut Shrimp dish in the US, China and even in my home country in Thailand (it's pretty much a mandatory dish for me whenever I go out to any family-style Chinese restaurants) and this particular dish typically a hit or miss for me (mostly, you'd miss it because the restaurants either skimp on shrimp counts, the shrimps were not hot and crunchy from the outside, the sauces were too sweet, too liquidy, or there's just wayy to much sauces in the dish in general. Honey Court's Walnut Shrimps, however, didn't have any of these misses. The shrimps were big and plump with the right bounciness for you to get that enjoyment in your mouth when you chew on them.There was just the right level of crunchiness from light batter frying on the outside. (I know... I'm quite bad at describing food :)). I'm also glad Honey Court didn't use the small shirmps that were too skinny like I would expect from typical not so high end restaurants.The mayo cream that covers the shrimps were not too sweet either (although I'm sure there are still a lot of calories in the dish).Next time I'm ever back there, I'm definitely getting the Honey Walnut Shrimps again (hmm..maybe 2 servings, too **drool**). The remaining dishes, though, will depend on my mood that day.

i have never seen this place in daylight.this is my late night haunt and probably a late night haunt for all you other party people and night owls. i dare you to come at midnight and just people watch. it's fun!why go to Denny's when you can get good Chinese food? seriously! give it a try. either do some nice family style and share a bunch of dishes or just order yourself a little bowl of wonton soup (so cheap). that little bowl of soup does wonders and you won't regret it to have at the end of a long night. you'll thank me the next morning ;)as a disclaimer, this is chinatown,and this is a late night chinese restaurant - so don't expect something fancy. i come here to get what i want - some affordable food late at night with non judgmental service ( i can't promise you the service will be awesome or the ambiance). but hey, usually all the great chinese places are awesome in their own no frills kind of way.

Seems to me to be very traditional, we went for dim sum and everything was on the mark. Its funny I have no complaints about anything here, yet I feel its only a four star. The building I'm sure Is very old, the wait staff was almost awake, but the food was for the most part unsurpassed. You should visit honey-court-seafood-restaurant We sure enjoyed it.

sadly i gotta put 2 stars for this restaurant. The food was really good but the service sucks so bad. I usually come here at midnight to eat and 2 servers at there seemed not to want to serve their customers. They took my order then went away without saying anything and when the guy with the glasses brought my food, he put it on my table rudely and maybe he didn't even want to look at me to see if I want to get something else. After I had my meal, I said "Excuse me! Can I get the check" That guy just turned his head and glanced at me the walk away. I thought those servers have some difficult in hearing and speaking? this is the second time Ive been in this situation.I'd recommend if you come early, the old lady with glasses will help you out with very good recommendation about food and stuffs, she always smiles and jokes to me. I think I gotta go eat earlier to not to see those 2 rude guys.Thank you.

Another Deceptive Business Practice that I must report to fellow yelpers.OVERCHARGING FOR THE WEIGHT OF MY LOBSTERS.I ordered three lobsters to go at market price. The lady says," i give you good deal. I give you big lobsters." I cook them anyway you want salt and pepper, black bean, or season anything. I reply thank you. yes i take three giant ones. She claims that the lobsters weigh 5lbs each for a total of 15lbs. In actuality the lobsters barely weighed 3lbs each.Should have just ordered shrimp fried rice.to go for the party.Yelp Them and Forget Them.

It's been 18 years since I last ate here and the honey walnut prawns were just as I remembered. YUMMY! Came here late night on a Wednesday and the service was super slow. There were only 4 tables with customers. My husband and I almost left to go somewhere else but the waitress finally came by to take our order. Ordered the honey walnut prawns to share with hubby and I had the sui kau soup and hubby had the beef brisket wonton noodle soup. All were good.The place has aged and smelled like it. Clientele hasn't changed during the late night, which makes for interesting entertainment. I think that is why we stopped coming here years ago. Maybe I'll just come during the day next time. Or not.

Okay, I hate to toss around the word "generic" too much when describing restaurants, but there are so many good authentic Chinese restaurants in the Greater Seattle Area, and this is undoubtedly one of them. The food is similar to what you might find at any of the restaurants just a block away. In a sense, that's definitely a plus. But I feel that Honey Court doesn't do much to distinguish itself from the competitors.Like all the other restaurants, it's a great place to sink in an hour or more for dinner, preferably with a large group of friends so that you can order more dishes and try out more stuff. It's not going to be possible for me to go into detail about everything they have (I'm sure it's all good), so I'll just say that you're most likely good to go with anything you order. I especially like the pork chops, but that's just me. They have a wide variety of delectable seafood dishes that are a little over ten dollars at the most. Definitely a good deal, and thus this is one restaurant that I'm really fond of. Just be aware that a lot of the restaurants close by are just as good.

I'm from the Bay Area, so I've basically grown up Asian (even though this is America). We had the Honey Walnut Prawns, Salt & Pepper Squid, and Fish Fried Rice. I'm more familiar with Taiwanese food than Cantonese food, but I still thought the food here was pretty good! The fried rice was pretty salty, but I think that's how the dish is supposed to be cooked.I've always loved honey walnut prawns but I didn't taste anything special from what we had here. Maybe it's because this is Seattle? Sorry... I've had better in the bay and in socal :/We weren't here for dim sum, but it seemed like everyone else there was. Like all Cantonese places in the bay area back in Cali, it was crowded as usual. We were all looking for a quick meal to grab in the area before heading to our flight.

You walk in, see the owner arguing with a strange lady off the street, and barely anyone seated in the place and it certainly doesn't look like much and you start to think - is this the right place that got all the rave reviews?Looks are pretty deceiving. The menu is almost overwhelming with good choices. Our party of 7 chose some of the favorites on the menu and a couple items recommended by the awesomely sassy waitress. Our group started with dumplings and hot and sour soup which I thoroughly recommend. About 2 minutes later, the rest of the feast arrived. Garlic pea pods, honey walnut shrimp (excellent), almond chicken (I think), Mongolian beef, shrimp lo mein, pork fried rice, and steamed rice which was barely touched. Everything was fantastic. If you're looking for a casual setting for a group, come a bit earlier - around 6:30 - and you'll have the place to yourself. Show up later and you'll be dealing with the drinking crowd.So outside of the squabble that we witnessed upon entering the restaurant, the place was golden. Some may find the staff a bit rude, but I thought our waitress was hilarious. I'm guessing she's gotta put on quite a bit of attitude to put up with some of the more lush crazies that arrive later in the evening!

Best late night Chinese food in the downtown Seattle/Chinatown area.It literally feels like our table gets our food within 5minutes of ordering every time we're here. Mmm mm mm...honey walnut prawns, salt n pepper squid, fish fried rice (hey, it's pretty good!) house special chow mein..I can go on & on.. I love Chinese food! :)A downside though, it's kind of hard to get parking. Esp since it's a popular area for late night Chinese food, plus its street side parking only. And since it's located in China town, there are quite a few of bums/crack heads loitering around :-P make sure to use the buddy system when walking down the street!

We always enjoy going to this restaurant. Not very crowded and a friendly staff. Today my wife and I and our 3 kids (all 5 or under) our my niece and her friend went and had dinner. The staff even brought out complimentary mango custard for the kids. Simple, but good food.?
