A reader sent this to us. I miss Top Gun’s dim sum and am thrilled to hear that veggie dim sum exists. Thanks, Victoria. Sara, ‘member your vow to give Asian cuisine more love in 2006?

I recently had dim sum at this new restaurant in Chinatown called “Vegetarian Bistro”. If you haven’t heard about it already, it just opened a couple weeks ago on King Street (at the old Top Gun location). The menu is entirely meat-less, but all the dishes I’ve tried have been great, really flavorful and creative (a nice change from the other vegetarian Asian restaurants in this city). They serve dim sum at any hour, and it is delicious, better than a lot of the standard stuff at other restaurants. It seems like every decent, large city has a vegetarian dim sum restaurant (if not several), and for years I have bitched about Seattle lacking one. Please review this restaurant! It’s the only one if its kind here, and was woefully empty when I went there last. Victoria
