Pretty good Chinese banquet style. Very good service. I wish the food came out hotter, though. One thing I wish is that they would tell you (and this is of all Chinese banquet places) is if there is karaoke happening that night but I know they would never lol But they do have a separator for the large banquet room, just don't expect a quiet dinner. Parking lot is pretty big so we did not have a problem finding parking even with two big parties happening that night. Would come back. read more

I came in fighting with parking to get in here because there were three big events going in at the same time. We were seated inside a VIP room. Surprisingly, the service was awesome and food came out pretty quick, fresh, and hot. We ordered a dinner feast in celebration of Autumn Festival, the crispy suckling pig was crunching you can hear it from across the table, juicy peking duck with crispy skin with fluffy bun, delicious lobster with noodles, walnut shrimps, duck meat nest with lettuce, and scallops fruit salad. All the food were delicious and tasty, perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The dessert was taro with jujube, perfect sweetness. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem in SGV. I already want ti cone back to try their other Menu items. If you want a delicious feast with excellent service, come reserve your VIP room in advance! You won't regret it! read more

88 Seafood Restaurant is a solid, classic spot if you're looking for traditional dim sum, minus the cart-style delivery. Items like the har gow, shu mai, and sticky rice wrapped in leaves are consistently decent. Have been coming here for many years, I have learned to come right at open on the weekend to avoid all of SGV from lining up outside. However, the major downside is the cleanliness and upkeep of the dining room. The carpet, tables, and dining area often feel grimy and poorly maintained, and the overall sanitation could definitely use a lot of improvement. Mind you, I came into the restaurant right after they opened on Saturday morning but observed food and debris all over the carpet, indicating they did not even vacuum between closing and opening. While the dim sum dishes themselves are reliable, the lack of clean, well-kept surroundings really takes away from the dining experience. read more

True that the place is dated with the carpet, but I loved the glistening chandeliers and big screen TVs that brightened the rooms. Food is decent and prices are reasonable. I liked the sui mai, ha gow. While good, the chicken feet and morel mushroom dumpling soup could've been tastier (I added red vinegar to the soup for more taste). Definitely use the ginger and oil dip for tastier chicken. The bean curd rolls were ok. Service was overall good. The deli section (duck, goose, roast pig, etc) in the back of the room appeared popular. Free parking on the lot. We'll be back to try other items bc the food is decent and the prices are very reasonable. read more

Went here for dim sum on Sunday at around 12 o'clock The service was terrible. In the middle of our meal, they ended up moving us over because they had a large party and needed to accommodate the big party. The food came out lukewarm and was OK. I'm really disappointed in the service and the food this time around. I will not be back. read more

888 Seafood Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Rosemead, California

It's so nostalgic to go to 888 because it's been around for decades. Since I was a kid, I've come to this restaurant for birthdays, weddings, and special occasions. The look hasn't changed, so it feels like I'm going back in time. They are very experienced in the Chinese/Vietnamese banquet style weddings. Have options for large or small parties. The food is good and the service is speedy. We enjoyed their steamed fish, Peking duck, abalone, and fried crab dishes. Parking is crowded so arrive early for a spot. read more

This was my childhood dimsum spot but the most recent time was for a wedding. We had banquet food that comes with multiple dishes throughout the night that includes all sorts of entrees (fish, pork, abalone, soup, fried rice, lobster, chicken, etc). My favorite was the crispy pork that came out first. Overall great dining experience and staff were all accommodating. read more

My dad has a bit more free time these days and he'll hang out with a Taiwanese association of friends at this restaurant. He suggested this place for a family gathering. We were able to get a private room which was pretty nice. Everything else was just okay. The wait staff was slow, the food was slow and we had to turn our own tv on to watch World Cup during our meal. It was nice of them to have huge screens everywhere for fans. That was about the nicest part about it. My parents brought a cake for my MIL and they were nice enough to get us extra plates. It was just okay. I didn't bother to even take pictures. First and probably only time I'll go to this place. Plenty of parking if you're willing to drive around instead of hovering like sharks in the front. read more

We went tonight to celebrate my mom's birthday. We booked a private room and there was a $600 minimum charge for the private room. The room was nice and service was excellent. We had two wait staff serving us We ordered fish soup with crab meat, peiking duck, steamed chicken, tofu with veggies, steamed red snapper, lobster with noodles, filet mignon, clams with basil and soft taro with lotus seeds for dessert. They gave us complimentary lotus-shaped birthday baos. All the food was delicious! Free parking lot outside. read more

Came here for lunar new year for yum cha and dim sum. Was not aware they do NOT do dimsum carts here. You order on the sheet and they bring it out for you FYI. Super busy and they seated us near the entry way so that was a downside already. We got here at 11:56am tell me why we ordered small dishes of 8 and still was 2 dishes missing by 1pm -.- Dimsum was good but def not cool of you are in a rush. I love the good ol style of the carts. The waiters were kind and empathetic with all guests. The seaters and management were kinda brash and rude. read more

I start off my new year with a wedding banquet at this restaurant. Overall, the dining experience is good. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. We have a total of 10 dishes with different types of dishes, including but not limited to lobster, steamed fish, Chinese bbq, shrimp with honey walnut, etc. However, to find a parking space at this restaurant was a pain. I arrived early and was able to score the last empylty slot. read more

Food: 1, Fried shrimp spring rolls: very crispy and tasty. Would be perfect if less salty (not too bad though) 2, Siu Mai: very nicely done, chewy and tasty. Love it! 3, Spare ribs w/ black bean sauce : very tasty. Love it. 4, Egg tofu with fish paste: tofu is very soft. Great aroma comes out of your mouth when you try a perfect bite. 5, Chicken feet: great aroma and easy to chew on but a bit too sweet for me. 6, Tunip beef tripe: tasty with a hint of spice, probably not for those who don't like internal organs, lol. 7, bean curd skin rolls: taste fine, just not as impressive as the other dishes. Services: Served by an older gentleman. Missed a dish when ordered. He tried again but another lady came out told us, bypassed him, that the dish is not available. A bit more coordination would be needed. Ambience: As noisy as what it normally would be for a dim sum restaurant on a Saturday morning, friendly and people are just enjoying each other's company. Overall, good experience read more

The service was slow and left a lot to be desired. As soon as we sat down, we filled out our order and handed it to one of the workers walking around since no one checked in on us to grab our order paper. Our plates, cups, and chopsticks were all stacked prior to us sitting down, and we realized we needed one more set of a plate, chopsticks, a tea cup, and the condiments (soy sauce, vinegar, sauté). My mom got up to flag one of the staff down for the extra plate and utensil because they barely walked past our table after we ordered. We ordered 8 different dim sum plates and it took 1.5 hours to get through lunch. Each plate went out separately, at least 5-10 minutes apart. As soon as we finished the plate, the lady who cleans up the tables would come over to clear the empty plate almost immediately and my family would sit around waiting for the next one. I looked around the dining room and other tables had several dim sum plates on their Lazy Susan. It was a very odd experience as to why we had to wait on each dish at a time. read more

We just attended a wedding reception dinner at 888 Seafood Restaurant in Rosemead a few days ago. We haven't been there for dim sum or a banquet dinner for quite a while. This restaurant has been around for a long time. 888 Seafood Restaurant provides delicious Cantonese food such as dim sum, family dinner, and banquet dinner. We had the following 10 delicacy dishes that night: 1. Roasted Suckling Pig (Half)- eye-catching, big golden plate presentation with delicious roasted suckling pig and jellyfish. Thumbs up. 10/10 2. Pan-Fried Shrimp with Imperial Clam - another delicious dish with big and delicious shrimp. Even the veggies were sweet and fresh. 10/10 3. Deep-fried scallop wrapped with bacon - I'm a scallop lover. These giant deep-fried scallops tasted so flavorful. I could eat the giant scallop without the bacon wrapped. The bacon flavor and the sauce were a bit too strong, but I still liked this dish. 9/10 4. Imperial fish maw soup - my favorite soup! I had two bowls of fish maw soup that night because my daughters did not like it. 9/10 5. Braised Abalone with Dried Scallop Flavor- Each guest had one good-sized braised abalone, a total of 10 pieces, and it was delicious. The veggies and mushrooms were also tasted great. The flavor was on point. 10/10 6. Deep-Fried Chicken with Mashed Shrimp - The presentation was nice, and they looked like deep-fried chicken, but actually, they were all mashed shrimp but covered with deep-fried chicken skin on the top. Very interesting and unique dish. However, we thought it was mediocre. 7/10 7. House Special Lobster - A little disappointed that the lobster did not have much meat, and it was not baked lobster with green onion and ginger cooking method. The taste was flavorful, but we hoped that the lobster had more meat. 8/10 8. Steamed whole fish - The fish was of a good size. However, it lacked a bit of flavor. 8/10 9. House Special Seafood Fried Rice - The Seafood fried rice could be better because it did not have much shrimp or scallop inside. The taste was a bit bland and lacked flavor. 7/10 10. Exquisite Dessert - Some people may not like the dessert, but I liked it. 8/10 Overall, we enjoyed this banquet dinner a lot, and we all cleared the dishes. Only the deep-fried chicken with mashed shrimp and seafood fried rice were not our favorites. The service was okay, could be better. read more

This is my family's go to place for lobster noodles. It's always a hit. Their crab sticky rice is good too. They give you a whole crab in there with the head. I always love the head roe. My son likes the fish maw soup. It's traditional and solid. We also really like the scallop bean curd tofu dish. It comes with veggies and is delish. We usually just get take out which is fairly quick. They also sealed all their food (think boba cup seals) so it's great for travel. However, I have dined in on many occasions and service here is what you would expect from any Chinese restaurant. Some days are good, some days are eh but it is what it is and they get the job done. They've never been rude. I've been here for dim sum before too and it's got its standard dim sum dishes. They get busy so dim sum days is usually a wait. The restaurant itself is large. You can host two banquets at the same time or buy out the whole restaurant for one huge banquet. I always remember coming to banquets here for my dad's club when he was still around so it'll always hold a special place. There are two parking lots so it's usually not an issue despite being in a plaza with several other places. read more

It has been many years since I've stepped foot into this restaurant. Family wanted to come here for dimsum yesterday, so we came here. Despite the 3 star review that the restaurant had - I was still optimistic. We arrived at 11:30am on a Saturday and there were many people inside, but def no line out the door. I will point out that the restaurant was pretty clean and they had 2 giant TV screens on both sides of the restaurant. You order your dishes with the server, as opposed to the carts that are typically pushed out at your typical dimsum restaurants. But the food is definitely where they can improve. We ordered Daikon Cake, Shrimp with the clear noodles, Beef Tripe Mix Plate, Chicken Feet, BBQ Pork (not on dimsum menu), Lobster Noodles (not on dimsum menu), Braised Pork Belly, Chicken Sticky Rice, Chinese Broccoli, Spicy Wonton, Shumai - amongst other things. And, I'm sad to report that everything was just ..... ok. Chicken feet had a weird taste to it - either not fresh or not enough aromatics were added during the cooking process. Beef Tripe Mix plate tasted kind of the same - not enough aromatics. Spicy wontons - it's the first time I've seen spicy wontons made with a yellow wonton wrapper, and flavor was kind of off. It wasn't made in your typical yummy spicy sauce. Rather, these were boiled wontons with chili oil on top. Our BBQ Pork came out very slow - we did have to ask for it a few times, and this was the last dish that came out. Sad to say, but I don't think I will be returning to this restaurant for very mediocre food. read more

I came into this place for a party of 20 people, and we were able to make a reservation ahead of time. I used to come here with my family all the time as a kid and the dishes here serves multiple purposes: dim sum, weekends, lunches, and dinners. Everything here is what you will see in at all classic Cantonese movies. We ordered their crab mouth soup, we also ordered the Kung pow chicken, the seafood clay pot, filet Mignon French style beef and sweet sour spareribs. The service was good and the staff looks tired of course because we went in on a Friday night around 7 PM. After ordering six dishes, five dishes plus one soup for 20 people. The cost came out to be about $545. Overall, I will come back here again if it's a large party I feel that both Myself and the guests receive really good services and the food was above average. read more

Ok, so I haven't been there for at least a decade. This was one of my parents dim sum rotation when I was a kid. I was there for a banquets Pro: love they can divide up the room. Excellent karaoke machines and big screen. Con: I am bit disappointed with the food quality. The noodles was not the E-min( spelling?) that it was supposed to be. It tasted like spaghetti. That's what they would use at those Chinese fast food places. It should not be used here! The lobster, it was ok, it did have the wok-hay! I had fun because we were able to do karaoke and brought our own mahjong to play. Service was good. Waiters were quick. I really wish the food was better. read more

Food: 2.5/5 Service: 2.5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Wait time for food: 1/5 Salty fish with chicken fried rice: 5/5 Roasted duck: 2/5 Shui Mai: 4/5 Those are the dishes that stand out among other food that I ordered. I arrived with my family around 10:30 am on Sunday. Parking was ok. We got seated right away also. I know what kind of service I would get from this type of restaurant but they are on the next level bad. I asked for 3 hot sauce and I got one. Later on I asked again and I got another one. Waiting time for food is ridiculously long. It should not take this long for dim sum dishes. I m talking about classic items such as shui mai. I waited about 15 to 20 minutes to get some items. We were hungry and decided to order roasted duck and fried rice. Roasted duck came out quick but it has weird flavors, I don't know if it's old or just originally bad. The place used to be good back in the day but it's going downhill with service and taste. I see that they have plenty of tables filled so, maybe we might just come on bad day. I will not repeating anytime soon and recommend to stay away. read more

Came here for dim sum with my mom. The restaurant was mostly full, but we were able to be seated immediately. We ordered the usual dim sum fare -- siu mai, har gow, chicken feet, and shrimp rice noodle. I also wanted to try one of their osmanthus and wolfberry jello desserts. We marked our order on the form. They don't have dim sum carts here. All of the food came out one by one without too much of a wait in between. The food was hot, and was solid in terms of quality and amount for price. The only dish that took forever to come out was the jello. We ended up having the waiter remove it from our order since we couldn't wait anymore (we waited about 30 minutes for it...). We drove around the parking lot perimeter once before a spot opened up. I think it's not bad, given I've been here before and had to make many more rounds before finding a spot. read more

Honey walnut shrimp 4/5 - good and shrimp pieces were pretty big. Nothing special, just standard Abalone mushroom 2-5 - this was extremely fishy tasting. Wouldn't recommend. The abalone was probably old Peking duck 2/5 - not the best Peking duck. Could've had more meat on the duck and crispier skin Lobster 4/5 - good lobster dish. Lots of onion so really good flavor. Lobster was pretty easy to peel off the shell read more

I came here for Christmas so it was super crazy and hectic. I think they take reservations, so I would definitely make it. I ended up waiting about 40 minutes on Christmas lunch, which was not too bad. Since it was Christmas, it was super hectic, so I can't say much about the service. I do think that the staff tried hard even though it was so busy. As for the food, I thought it was pretty good. I ended up getting to try a variety and my favorite was the crab fried rice and the lobster. Their seafood was pretty fresh and I really enjoy it when there is noodles under the lobster, which they had here. The noodles is one of the best part of the lobster dish. Aside from that, I tried a few other items, like duck (which was not my favorite) and few dim sum items (which was pretty good). The only minor complaint I had was that because it was so busy, the food came out at uneven times, so by the time some of the items came I had been waiting awhile and I was stuffed. Overall, even though it was crazy, I thought the food was decent. I would definitely like to come back here on a regular night and try their food again. I would also love to come back here for dim sum. read more

Enjoyed the meal at a dinner party tonight. Especially enjoyed the shrimp salad. So refreshing! Loved the sweet chili dressing. All the courses were good and well flavored while not too salty. Had not been here for a while. Great space for a dinner, karoake and dancing! For a dinner party of 14 tables, service was really good! They even provided extra chopsticks for serving and were good about refilling the ice bucket. read more

I've been coming here since I was a child. It used to be a five star experience but they don't do the push carts anymore sadly. The dim sum is still delicious. The textures and flavors are still there. Hot tea is comforting and chili crisp is tasty. Part of a great fun sum experience is the hustling and bustling carts and flagging down or chasing your favorite items. You won't get that here :/ Service is good and friendly. Very helpful and efficient. Ambience is bright. It's a big Chinese restaurant. read more

Went for dim sum at noon today, extremely hard to find a parking spot. Ordered classic Premium Har Gow, Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai, Sparerib in Black Bean Sauce, Steamed Chicken Feet in Brown Sauce, BBQ Pork Bun. All came out the same time, fairly fast after ordering. But unfortunately, they were all under par, in both quantity and taste. Also ordered Soybean sprouts, Custard Egg Tart, Steamed Egg Yolk Cream Bun. These three tasted okay. Not crowded during lunch time on a Saturday. Due to tough parking, and so so food, will not recommend. read more

This place is a well-known spot for dim sum, but unfortunately the dining experience itself was far too long, which overshadowed what was otherwise decent food. Parking: Located in a plaza with a shared parking lot. Parking here is always a challenge if you're not rope-dropping the opening times. Wait Time: We came around 1:00 pm for dim sum. While the restaurant was full, it wasn't packed, and we were seated after about a 5-minute wait. Food: We ordered 9 mostly classic dim sum items. The format here is that you order all your dishes and they come out (unlike wandering carts). The food itself was good. However, items came out one by one, with roughly one dish every 10 minutes. Even staples like har gow took over an hour to arrive, and our last dish (BBQ buns) didn't come out until the 1.5 hour mark. For a dim sum restaurant, this pacing is extremely slow and frustrating. The drawn-out timing completely disrupted the flow of the meal and made it difficult to enjoy, even though the food itself was solid. While the dim sum at is good, the excruciatingly long wait between dishes makes this a place we wouldn't return to. Dim sum should be efficient and continuous, you know, like all the other places? Unfortunately the experience here just took far too long to justify coming back. read more

A great venue for wedding reception. Came as a guest with no expectations and I was surprisingly impressed. There was a 10 course platter and I enjoyed most of them. My favorites were the suckling pig platter, Peking duck, shrimp crab claw, assorted seafood and fish maw soup, lobster, and the scallop + shrimp stir fry. My least favorite was the mashed taro with white nuts (too sweet and tasted more like bean paste than taro). The rest of the dishes were passable. The service was pretty good. They came around frequently to clean up and meet requests. I just wish they offered water at the table instead of having folks go up to the bar. The venue fit 500 people easily. Parking was no issue despite the large amount of attendees. read more

It can get pretty packed even on a weekday because they host a lot of big private events here. A major plus about this restaurant is that they can host bigger family size. As for food and service wise, it was okay. It can be a little hard to get servers attention unless you're friends or regulars. We had to keep asking for the same thing multiple times. Even though food is bigger portions, some plate are super salty and some lack in flavors. Would only come here since they can accommodate bigger party sizes. read more

Rerouted here after my favorite dim sum place moved inside a hotel and didn't serve dim sum on a Saturday (weird!). Despite my bias, I enjoyed the food and service here. What stood out to me the most is the ordering process which is just you marking down on a menu what you want to order. No need to wait for a cart to come around! You also get every dish hot and fresh. The wait for the dim sum wasn't too long as they brought out dishes as soon as they're ready. We ordered 9 B items and the total came out to under $70. Not bad! I have to admit, their shu mai is okay. I had better elsewhere but aside from that, everything else was delicious. The baked pineapple bun with egg yolk cream is an absolute must-order. Parking can be a pain since the plaza is insanely busy but will be back! read more

If you come on a weekend it will definitely be packed but on a weekday it's very doable. You get to sit down and order tea $1.50 - charged per person. Then you order your dimsum / plus any other dishes from the paper menu and the food comes out. The dimsum is decent quality. I've had better and had worse as well. Most of the dimsum will start at $5.90 a plate and higher. The cheapest is $5.50. Parking in the lot shared with the other establishments in the plaza is not bad but can get really packed on weekends. Restrooms are OK and decently clean. Arrive early on weekends to get a number for a table if you have a big party. Otherwise on a weekday it's totally doable without planning ahead as plenty of tables are open. Their fried rice was burnt :( read more

We celebrated my wife's cousin's departure to Boston with a family dinner. I was looking forward to trying the Cantonese cuisine, and was excited about the prospect of having dim sum, but unfortunately, they only serve it during lunch. We ordered several dishes, including Peking duck, peppered beef, sweet and sour pork, honey walnut shrimp, and Singapore noodles. The Singapore noodles were my favorite; they are one of my all-time favorite Chinese dishes, though my wife found them a bit spicy. The Peking duck was a hit and wasn't the best I've had in the states, but wasn't the worst either. I would be open to returning here in the future! read more
