    a banner for a japanese shaved ice cream shop

    Dessert: 3.5. Came by because the woman thought this place sold bingsoo. This place is located in the Asian Garden Mall. We stopped by on a Wed afternoon and ordered their "Taiwanese Shaved Ice" (ice cream and shaved ice with toppings). Chose the 3 topping option ($7.99) of boba, mango, and red beans. They were out of taro. Dessert was a nice size and looked appealing. Taste was good but I wanted bingsoo. Shaved ice got hard quickly as it was below the toppings and ice cream. I prefer the ice to be fluffy. Service was friendly. A few tables. Service: 3.5 Value: 3.5

    Dim sum to go

    This is a decent dim sum spot if you're shopping in the Asian garden mall. Xiao long bao was tasty but missing some of the broth inside. Green beans were cooked nicely. Chow fun was good too. PROS: takes card in case you don't have cash, will warm up the food if you ask CONS: customer service is spotty. Saw a few customers upset because they forgot to bring the food to the table.

    Yo Yelp, I went through the trouble to enter the business to help this nice owner n wasn't allowed to check in, I'm not that far fr there

    I'm always crazy for Dim Sum but ever since Furiwa went under, I was left stranded, seafood cove across the street is always mobbed the wait was 1 hr just not worth it, they are also 100% crazy, it was cold like in the North pole, they told me the had open vent on the roof to chase Covid19 away!! So finding this hole in the wall was really welcome. The owner/chef was really nice n friendly so I probably bought more than I should. Everything was just $2 vs $5 to $7 elsewhere. There a certain spice very flavorful that I cannot identify it's in the dim sum here, the best dim sum was the one w the flaky taro outside, I was going to give them 5 stars when the last bite of one of the Dimsum was a little smelly, I was there before closing n stuffs that didn't move sitting there all day could turn so I took 1 star away, the next time I'll go there by noon when everything is fresh n they will get 5 stars. So you know, Din Tai Fung is overrated, the wonton skin is thick, the dim sum lacks the special flavor mentioned above, most Americans love it there but they haven't been to Hong Kong,,had they been to HK, they would love it at 261 Dim sum, support them or they'll be out of business! Try it you like it! By the way they came here from Hong Kong!

    THIS FOOD FELT LIKE HOME. I give this place 5 stars based on what it is - a take-out stall at a mall offering a curated selection of dim sum's heavy hitters and popular Cantonese comfort dishes. Don't come here expecting to see an extensive list but know that you can get the basics. It was Mother's Day and I could not find, for the life of me, a dim sum restaurant that when they actually picked up the phone, had both Ha-Gow (Crystal shrimp dumplings) & Shrimp Cheung Fun (rice noodle rolls with soy sauce). So strange. So I yelped and saw this place. No phone number yet (it's still quite new) and with 1 review. So I said, what the heck, let me just drive over and see...it was my last resort. Come to find this spot. Clean, super friendly staff...with both Dishes that I wanted. Of course I ended up buying more! My husband is vegan and they had sautéed rice rolls in soy sauce and scallions and also the Pan-Fried Turnip cakes with No dried shrimp and Chinese sausage, so it was perfectly vegan appropriate! Check them out! Will definitely be my new go to easy spot to grab and go! Oh! Forgot to add, all the shrimp in my dishes were DEVEINED!!! Imagine that. It takes a lot more work so most restaurants don't do it unless you go to high end places, even then I'm not sure they all do.

    It's been quite a few years since I've been back to this restaurant. It's been here since the 80's…read morethat I recalled. I came here for weddings many times. It's a very nice restaurant and the Cantonese style food is always excellent in every way. Last few weeks coming here with some friends and we ordered some excellent dishes and the taste was as delicious as before. The prices are extremely reasonable. The wor wonton soup that I like with plenty of shrimps and tasty wontons, excellent meal starter. The salt and pepper prawns are crunchy that we could chew the shells. The garlic vegetable is very tasty which everyone like. Kun-pow chicken, stir fried clams, mongolian beef, shredded port in garlic sauce all perfectly seasoned and cooked. The service here is very attentive and pleasant. We had a great meal together and everyone was happy and full, we had some to take home too. This is called the classic Cantonese Restaurant for me, always consistent with quality and tastes. Glad that we came here.

    Recently came back here for some dim sum with four other people. It was nice that they sat us in…read morethe corner away from all the noise but flagging down the cart ladies were kind of though and they didn't go around to us as much as we liked. Eventually the owner came over to check on us and we got everything we wanted. Although they had ran out of quite a few items we wanted. We also wanted to order veggies but no one asked. I also asked for more mustard and the lady said okay and went hudini on me. What I did like was their congee, shu mai, spare rib, and fried shrimp paste. The people I came with enjoyed the soup dumplings. The little fried fish were also pretty good. The rest were okay. Everything came out hot which was nice. We also got some drinks and the lady was nice enough to run to the back to get us a new one instead of the ones they had sitting out. The restaurant was very noisy even with us in the corner. You can hear what was happening outside too. Parking was very hard on Labor day and I had to park on the street. That plaza has gotten super busy.

    Been coming to Seafood Cove for the longest time, still one of the OG spot for Chinese restaurants…read morein OC. My friends was craving for some house specials lobster and I was craving for honey walnut shrimp. We came around 5pm on a sunday before the dinner rush. A party of 3 we ordered 5 dishes the main 2 dish we came for 1. House specials lobster with noodles 5/5 The house special sauce for the lobster is so good. , the lobster was meaty, noodles smothered in that house special sauce, delicious. 2. Honey Walnut Shrimp 6/5. Ive been craving for this dish for the longest time and it didn't disappoint. The walnut shrimp was fried golden brown delicious, plump shrimp, the sauce was perfect and not overly drenched. The candied walnut nice crunch and sweetness. Definitely hit the spot and satisfied my craving.

    Haven't been here in awhile. Decided to return for the lunch menu deal…read more I got the salt and pepper shrimp. This is always a must. It was good. Not bad at all. $15.95 it's cooked the same everywhere so if I can get it for a deal, I'm def down! Got the clams also. This dish was plentiful for a lunch special. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Nothing bad at all. Whole fried fish. Man this dish was tiny!!! The fish was tiny!!! It was tasty due to the sauce, but the fish itself was TINY!!! lol 2/5 stars. Everyone orders this but it's just too small for family style meal. House special fish filet. Yeah this was good but I tasted a lot more batter than the actual fish itself. I think seafood cove 2 cooks this better. 2/5 stars for this also Crap asparagus soup. 2/5 stars Naaaah not worth it. Don't order this lol. Save urself the money. Bland and boring. The service was great. They gave us plastic utensils for the kids. And also cups for the kids (styrofoam cups since the kids are messy and tend to drop things) Overall, it's a bit dirty. Parking sucks hardcore. Food is mediocre. But service is good. When you pay, you get oranges as dessert at the end. Seafood cove 2 is def better and plentiful parking compared to this place.

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the restaurant was very clean. We especially loved the fish congee -- the fish was super fresh, and you definitely have to get the Chinese fried dough (youtiao) to go with it! Their dill turmeric sizzling fish was also AMAZING and definitely a must-try. So glad we found this place. We'll definitely come back whenever we're in the area!

It's a sizzling platter of pan-fried fish cooked with fragrant dill and scallions, served tableside with fresh vegetables, rice paper, and herbs so you can build your own wraps. I've ordered it here at least three times, and it's been consistently outstanding every single visit. The fish is perfectly seasoned, and the aroma from the dill and scallions alone is enough to make your mouth water. I also highly recommend their selection of congee. Each version is made to order with your choice of meats, and the porridge has that silky-smooth, creamy consistency that makes it the ultimate comfort food. Rich, hearty, and incredibly satisfying, it's one of those dishes that keeps you coming back for another spoonful.

Despite its size, this spot still has all my favorites. I picked four of my favorites (photos attached): * Shrimp rice rolls - these were great! the rolls were firm, not watery like some other places. Shrimp was on the smaller side, but expected at this price point. * Shumai - good, flavorful. good portion of meat stuffing * Chive dumpling - I forgot what these are called on the menu - but they had a good portion of meat and chives was the highlight. * Lo Mai Gai (Lotus Wrapped Sticky Rice) - you get two pieces per order - the sticky rice is perfectly moist wrapped in the thick leaves. Good portion of chicken, chinese sausage, mushrooms, seasoning. Prices are fair - $3 to $4 for most items. My total for my order was less than $20. There is indoor seating next to the cafe, but I took my order to-go. Service is prompt and efficient - the gal helping me was friendly and included all the condiments/utensils when I asked her while she was packing up my selections.

There wasn't anyone eating there when we went on a weekday morning so service was super quick! It's a huge space though so I'm sure it gets more rowdy on the weekends. We tried the classic dim sum dishes. The shumai was a bit dry for me but was still overall pretty good. The rice rolls with shrimp had a very good sauce and it was super addicting! The only one that disappointed us were the soup dumplings, which fell apart because they stuck to the bottom. Also there just wasn't very much soup in them to begin with. Both of our favs were the baby ribs, which were so soft and flavorful. The fried shrimp balls were also good and were made to order so they were super crispy and fresh! I really liked the chili oil here because it actually had a kick. For dessert, we ended off with their egg tarts that were crispy, sweet, and delicious!! I'd definitely come back because this is a lot better experience compared to waiting hours for some of the places in OC.

The footballs must have been sitting a while, they looked deflated and depressed. The shu mai that did come out hot were perfectly fine. 7.5/10 probably won't be back again. a bunch of people on staff looked like they were just standing around and that's kind of the vibe this place had... food sitting and getting cold waiting to be delivered.
