Supreme Dumplings is expanding across the greater Seattle area, with new locations planned in South Lake Union, Redmond and Tacoma. What Now Seattle previously reported the restaurant’s plans to open in all three cities.
The South Lake Union location is expected to open first in September at 2202 Seventh Ave. The Redmond restaurant is set to follow in December at 7730 164th Ave. NE, Suite F115. The Tacoma spot is slated to open in January or February at The Village at Tacoma Mall.
CEO Brandon Ting told What Now Seattle he’s excited to meet customers and host them at the new locations.
“Our vision for our restaurant is that we like to proudly deliver moments of joy to our customers, our team members and the communities we serve,” Ting said. “We believe a restaurant is where people build relationships and we just want to be there for our customers.”
Ting said what sets Supreme Dumplings apart from competitors is its commitment to quality, attentive service and offering great food at an affordable price.
While the new locations will follow the existing concept, each one will feature upgraded interiors designed to look high-end and high quality.
The restaurant specializes in Xiao Long Bao, which means “little dumplings in a basket.” According to the company’s website, this traditional style of steamed dumplings, cooked in bamboo baskets, dates back more than a thousand years to China’s Song Dynasty and has been refined over time by different regions in China.
The menu includes several varieties of Xiao Long Bao—pork, pork and shrimp, Szechuan spice, crab and pork, black truffle and chicken, and chicken and steamed vegetable. Other items include pan-fried buns, appetizers, fried rice, noodles, soup, and green and spicy wontons.
New dishes are also expected to debut soon, including beef and vegetarian dumplings and a black pepper beef entrée.
When it comes to favorites, Ting said he would have to go with the “juicest dumpling ever:” the pork dumpling.
