I would recommend dine in while the food is hot, service is good. Only few parking spots

Heads up- parking is available on the side of A & W. We aren't familiar with the area and parked in the main back parking lot. If you're looking for dim sum, they have a decent selection. Sio mai is super tasty and flavorful but I feel the Singapore dumplings could have been a little more. We didn't get any or much soup inside. Wonton soup and noodles- I did not realize it was all seafood. While we are seafood lovers, we were expecting basic with meat and come to find out our dishes were mostly seafood. Not sure if we need to specify. Staff were friendly and attentive. read more

Great food! Great service! Fast and efficient! Food tastes amazing! My hubby and I came by this gem by accident we thought we ordered from a different establishment! However we're glad it was wrong this place tastes wayyyy better! Ambiance is cute! Friendly! Parking is pretty good for the space it's in. We've tried a few different and classic dishes. I will say salted shrimp, house special fried rice, Kung pao chicken, sweet and sour chicken, beef & broccoli! All great! Corner of Reseda & Sherman way. read more

This place used to be great Chinese food. The odor in the restaurant is not very pleasant. The service was not very pleasant and the food tasted pretty bland. It used to be such a terrific Chinese restaurant! read more

i love love their shumai, porridge and salted fish fried rice. The food is just authentic.

The service was beyond expectations. We came In at 740 and they still accommodated us with a smile... half of the food we already ate because it was so good. Try their pork soup dumplings (off menu). Thank you to the staff. -Archie read more

We went there this afternoon for Dim Sum. I hadn't been back to this place since Covid,and was shocked to see how run down it has become. The service was very nice and professional. The prices were decent. The Dim Sum was way too limited and no cart. It just doesn't have the great dim sum vibe. Even the waitress said, come back and order a bugger dish, it is way better than dim sum. Which was too bad, because dim sum was our interest. read more

4.5 Was a little wary at first with the graffiti outside the front of the restaurant and empty dining room when we first entered the restaurant but all the food we ordered was so delicious. I did finally notice numerous take out orders so I guess most people do take out. I'm not a fan of sweet & sour soup but the one here is so good with large shrimp pieces. Lobster was on point and the noodles underneath were perfect. My 5-yr old is not a seafood fan but loved the noodles. The basil clams were nice and plump which is usually not the case when we order this from other similar restaurants. The only complaint is our table being sticky and it was not the cleanest restaurant nor do they seem to care about decor or ambiance. Service was good though. If all you care about is great food with good portions this is the place. read more

Great food as always. Authentic taste their house special sauce is especially delicious.

My family and I went here looking for dim sum because we were in the area. However their selection is only limited to four items, so we had to buy other items too. I got the Yang Chow fried rice and it was decent. We also got the lo mien which is good, and the shrimp with lobster sauce was also good. The service was good. We came here right when they opened so we were the first guests there. The lighting was not bright but it wasn't dark either. It's a decent place. read more

They provide always delicious foods, very welcoming they are and professiona customer service. Loved this place to visit again and again.

Been going here for years and having our friends and family celebrations. Food is always good. Every dish has their own flavor profile. The staff is friendly and helpful. Dimsum available everyday from open to around 2 or 3pm. Give them a try. read more

I went to a long time ago and compared to places in Monterey Park. This was not nearly as good and the prices were much higher. I would expect with the recent price gouging of restaurants I would not be going back. I think restaurants need to stop this abuse and whether this place does or not, I cannot confirm without looking at their menu, which I don't plan on going to read more

Inused to frequent this place all the time when they had the Ducks hanging by the window. Recently, I ordered Honey Walnut Shrimp, pan fried Noodles, and read more

Our family has been going to this A&W Seafood for over 40 years. Three generations. This is a favorite for us because the food is amazing. It's very casual and lacks the glitz and glam of some trendy Chinese eateries, but we go for the amazing food. Don't miss out on the Lobster in House Sauce. You'll never forget it nor find it anywhere else. read more

The food and the service was delicious. As always. I enjoy this place. If you ever want good Chinese food. I recommend this place. The house sauce is out of this world. I had to take the food to go home, so I was unable to enjoy the ambience. read more

The food is alright but service not that great feel rushed on ordering they require mandatory tipping even though service was not great but they have no sign that says mandatory tipping restroom dirty read more

I like their fried Frogs Legs and plan to try their calamari next time.They sell traditional food as well lobster and I've had the crispy duck. read more

If you're from the SFV, this is the place to be for dumplings shrimp har gow and beef rice roll are my faves.

This place is a little divey but the food is exceptional. The owner /chef learned to cook in Shanghai. He did so for 5 years and has been cooking here for 14. The dining room is large. The night we were there, it was not crowded. The menu is extensive, moderately priced. They have cod, shrimp, clams, catfish, scallops, squid, crab and lobster. They have lots of soups, noodles and fried rice. I had the cod in black bean sauce. It was so good. We also had beef with ginger and onion. Our last item was lemon chicken. Suprisingly good. The location is at Reseda and Sherman way. Not an area I normally hang out in. Parking is spare, on the side and back of the building. Try this place or order out. You will like it. I will eat here again. Support your local restaurants! read more

Truly one of the best Chinese Cuisine in the San Fernando Valley !!! This is NOT American Chinese Cuisine. If you want that try Panda Express thst is close to the same price. This family run business is on the North West Corner of Sherman Way and Reseda Blvd and is family friendly and the portions are generous where a family of 4 could have enough to eat with the regular portion size with a side order of steamed rice. This was our first time here and we will be back to try 3 more dishes of different delicacy. From Frog Legs in Butter or Black Bean Sauce to Scallop in Hot Garlic Sauce to Crispy Fried Squid in Spicy Salt. Take your Boyfriend, Girlfriend or treat your spouse like they are your Girlfriend or Boyfriend for a delicious experience of the BEST Chinese Cuisine outside of New York City or San Francisco. read more

Quick service food excellent good space waiters very welcoming seafood pricy but very tasty

Loved the food. The service was nice, very kind people and the overall vibe is chill.

Food was so good. I honestly didn't expect the food to be that good because of the look of the restaurant on the outside but wow I will be returning. The lady working was nice and always refilling our water and kept giving us more napkins. We got the fried tofu, salt & pepper pork chop, walnut shrimp, string beans, and house special lobster. Everything was sooooo good. The walnut shrimp was one of the best I've had. So crispy. Everything was seasoned perfectly. read more

I went and ate at the Reseda branch. Food was excellent. It was the same taste and quality as it used to be. Service is attentive. Ambiance is so-so. Parking is tight. This is the best branch of the three. read more

I've put this off for a long time because I LOVE A & W, my family frequents this spot because it's delicious and the service is quick and friendly, and the prices are great! ..... BUT this is a huge turn off... and I hate to write it but the place is not clean.... The last time I ordered I found HALF OF A BUG IN MY ORANGE CHICKEN!!! By the time I drove home to eat my food it was already late at night so I didn't call to complain to make them aware. It's been about 2 months now and I haven't gone back since and told my family members so they don't go back either, I hope since then they've put their cleaning practices up and maybe CHECK the food before they cook anything. Haven't been back since and don't think I'll be back at all again. Food tastes great but you don't know what you're eating..... makes me wonder what else might be in my food :( read more

Needed lobster in the valley. 4lb house lobster over noodles. Yummy Zangchow fried rice was delicious. Salt and pepper squid was crunchy and seasoned just right. Spicy basil clam plump. Pea sprouts succulent. Hot sour soup some of the best I have ever had. read more

It's hard for me to criticize this place much because I grew up eating here. Back when I was a young gal living with my family, we would always order our favorite noodle dish - seafood chow fun (with gravy)! It's such a simple rice noodle stir fry noodle, but the touch of smoke and char from the wok (and whatever sauce they use) gives it such a delicious touch that we cannot seem to replicate at home. The other 2 dishes that we usually get are: -Chiu chow noodle soup (see pic): rice noodle or egg noodle soup with seafood and bits of ground pork along with bok choy, WARM to the soul when you're in the mood for soup outside of the usual pho -House special cod fish: breaded cod fish stir fried in a delicoius garlicky sauce with green onions and jalepenos for a nice kick, GREAT with plain white rice to balance the saltiness I love that they have pickled jalepenos and chili oil on the table. If you want red wine vinegar, you will have to request for it. We still go here occasionally when we are in the mood. Ever since they had a change in ownership, the quality remains good, but the prices have gone up (minus one star) and it's deterring us from frequenting here as much as before. The waitresses here are very nice and accommodating to our requests. One of them knows my parents pretty well, which is a not a surprise given how much history we have with this place. Hah. I definitely recommend others to come check out this local, authentic Chinese restaurant! *Note: It seems like from other reviews, people are confusing this Reseda location for the Northridge one, the latter having dim sum. read more

Real Chinese restaurant. If you want the authentic food this is your best bet. The seafood is also really good and affordable

Well tonite we brought in food and not only was it delicious but it was hot and prepared perfectly. We had bok choy with oyster mushrooms then perfectly prepare shrimp in lobster sauce and veggie fried rice and veggie egg rolls. Great food perfectly prepared. Look forward to our next dinner.

My favorite dish is the Crab with the house special sauce, it's beyond delicious and the sauce is to die for ! i definitely recommend coming here because you can count on fast, friendly service along with an amazing meal ! read more

The A&W at this location has been around for a long time. It was one of the best authentic Chinese restaurants in the Valley but it has progressively gone down hill over the years. The food is not even a shadow of its former self. The fried hor fun was lacking in soy sauce, garlic, and wok hei and the fried fish tofu tasted like packaged stuff you get from the supermarket. Not sure if this was an off day or they just have a lousy chef. read more

This has to be the true definition of a "hidden gem" of a restaurant in the San Fernando Valley. If it was not for the fact that I work a few blocks away, I would have never found it. OK, Reseda is not the greatest area but the restaurant has very convenient parking. If you look at the outside of the restaurant, you're not even sure if it's actually open but don't let that fool you. When you walk into the restaurant, it is clean, the tables are round and have lazy Susans in the middle of the tables. I have never actually eaten in the restaurant as we've always ordered take-out, mostly for our office parties. I am a pescatarian so I don't eat meat. Therefore, I cannot tell you firsthand how their meat items are. I only know that all my coworkers have loved everything they have ordered, including the meat and seafood. Usually there is not a single drop of food left after everybody has eaten. I will tell you that I think my favorite item is their walnut shrimp. The shrimp is so fresh and their sauce is delicious. I've also ordered their shrimp and lobster sauce and I really love their garlic shrimp. Their prices are very reasonable, and their portions are generous. Over the years the food has always been consistently excellent. This place reminds me of my family's favorite Chinese restaurant which was located downtown in old Chinatown. The food was always good and the prices were reasonable. In today's economy, I know how hard it is for small independently owned restaurants to make it. So I think it is a shame for this wonderful little "hidden gem" to stay hidden and therefore I'm writing this review to share with you. Please give this little gem of a restaurant a try. I really think you will love it. read more

This place has taken a turn for the worse. I use to come here for years to enjoy dim sum since it was the closest place in the Valley. Staples such as the pork shu mai had lost their flavor and had become large undesirable chewy balls of pork. The shrimp rice noodle was too doughy to be enjoyed and unusually chewy. The chicken feet had little to no flavor and the spare ribs were oily, fatty and bland too. What's going on here? Pre-pandemic, the crowds already started thinning out and no longer was there a 30 minute wait for a table on the weekends for dim sum. The dim sum menu items are very limited when ordering take out. Sadly, the few items they make aren't very good and it's expensive compared to other dim sum places. I have been driving all the way out to DTLA from the valley lately to get my dim sum fix. Better eats at a way cheaper price. read more

I'm from the east coast (NY/NJ), and it's damn-near impossible to find a Chinese restaurant that hits the sweet spot of my east coast palate. A&W Seafood is the first place that reminded me of home. Their Lo Mein (yes, they have *LO* Mein, not just Chow Mein) is killer, the Chicken & Veggies in white sauce is perfect, and their House Special Fried Rice is so freaking delicious, I could house down an entire plate all to myself with zero regrets. The only problem now is how dangerously close it is to my apartment... read more

The A&W in Reseda has something I regularly crave for. I love their lo mein dish. Love the perfect texture of their noodles. It is not swimming in oil, especially at the bottom. The dish is loaded with flavor that isn't too strong; it's perfectly seasoned . And it looks aesthetically nice. Lol read more

I guess seafood is expensive and they are probably hurting due to covid. But it seemed expensive for what we got. The seafood items were a whole lot of gravy and hardly any seafood, but it did taste good, my kids loved it. the chow fun was weird. I loved the sweet and sour chicken. As some other people have said this is a Chinese restaurant in the San Fernando valley that comes closest to the Chinese restaurants in the SGV. read more
