About Sea King Seafood Restaurant

Sea King Seafood Restaurant is a Hong Kong-style Cantonese restaurant on Merivale Road, and it holds a special distinction in the city: it is the last restaurant in Ottawa still offering traditional push-cart dim sum service. Instead of ordering from a menu, diners watch carts loaded with steaming bamboo baskets roll past their table, pointing at whatever catches their eye.

This old-school format, once common across Chinatowns in Hong Kong and North America, has largely disappeared from Ottawa. At Sea King, it continues as part of the everyday dining experience, led by a Hong Kong chef cooking classic Cantonese cuisine.

The restaurant is a casual, family-friendly spot that draws regulars for weekend dim sum and for its broader Cantonese menu of seafood and traditional dishes.

What to Order

Push-Cart Dim Sum — The main draw. Choose dishes directly from the carts as they pass by your table.
Hong Kong-Style Cantonese Dishes — Traditional Cantonese cooking prepared by a Hong Kong chef.
Seafood — Cantonese-style seafood preparations are a specialty of the house.
