Mee Sum Pastry at Pike Place Market serves Chinese dim sum-style pastries, including savory buns, hand pies, and dumplings suited for grab-and-go snacking.[16][24][28] Unlike cart-service restaurants, its dim sum leans heavily toward baked and fried items that can be eaten while walking through the market.[16][28] The experience centers on picking out individual items from the case, with flaky crusts, chewy doughs, and fillings ranging from pork to vegetable.[24][28] Editorial guides list Mee Sum Pastry as an excellent stop for dim sum snacks when exploring downtown Seattle.[16][24][28]
