    Great lunch specials at $9.99 from 11am-5pm every day including weekend. I placed a take out order at the restaurant in the late afternoon and my food was ready in about 15-20 min. Ordered 4 items. BBQ pork fried rice which is delicious. Very flavorful, slightly oily but in a good way. Filet mignon with black pepper sauce - also delicious. Sautéed string bean with minced meat - another delicious item. The string beans are chopped up which I didn't expect - still delicious. Lastly, Pork chop with spicy salt. This one was a disappointment. There was a lack of seasoning - almost like they forgot to season it. But overall, very good food at great prices and portion size. Also gave 2 large boxes of white rice. Total before tip was $43 and it's easily enough food for 3-4 people or meals. The parking lot in front is small but there's also a rear lot and street parking. They also have dinner specials.

    The hot new place all the older people are talking about. All of our parents keep talking about the great lunch special. We didn't end up making it for lunch special but we came for our Chinese new year dinner on the weekend before CNY. Big mistake. We came early but it still got crowded and on top of that people were rude and service was awful. I mean I've been to tons of Chinese restaurants growing up and service isn't always the best but they usually get the job done, food is good and so you don't mind that there are no pleasantries. No, not here. Food wasn't great and at times there wasn't any at all. We were missing two dishes even when we finished the rest of our meal and they kept saying it was coming and wouldn't even apologize for the delay or offer to cancel it. I mean we literally finished all our other dishes and had to go boxes and they still had us sitting there waiting for two other dishes we ordered forever ago. The waitress and honestly all the staff were beyond rude which is even worse for a CNY dinner. I get you're busy but even still, all the unhappiness was unnecessary. Just stop taking customers and close early if you can't keep up and you're gonna have a bad attitude about it. The chicken clay pot rice had small bones in the small pieces of chicken, if you can even call it chicken. It was more like chicken bones with tiny slivers of meat. I don't care how great the supposed lunch special is, I'm never coming back here. I'd rather take my business elsewhere. I think one table legit just got up and left after briefly sitting down with some menus. The only good thing I can say about this place is the fish soup my mother in law ordered kept coming with soup refills even when she was packing it to go. It was a little peppery and definitely tasted better than it looked. Btw the sign on the restaurant says something other than "Boiling Seafood Wok" but the sign on the plaza is that and that's what your gps will route you to. It's just some variation of the name, I forget exactly what but the sign above the doors is just slightly different.

    This is my go to place for lunch special. I just see that they have dinner special as well. Everything tasted great here for lunch so I would think dinner is the same. They just did a remodel and have new table, chairs and flooring etc inside. It's really nice to see that they can offer great price while able to upkeep the restaurant.

    We stopped by after hearing they offer $9.99 lunch dishes, and this little mom-and-pop Chinese spot definitely delivered good value. SERVICE: 4/5 We arrived just after the lunch rush, so there was almost no wait. The staff were friendly, and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. FOOD: 4/5 The dishes were delicious and exactly what you'd expect from classic Chinese comfort food. A couple items leaned a bit salty, but overall everything was satisfying and flavorful. PARKING: 3/5 The parking lot is quite small, so coming during peak hours might be tricky. You may need to grab street parking if it gets busy.

    Their lunch special is $9.99 and totally worth every dollar for its quality food! Affordable meals for the family! It's in a small little corner plaza with limited parking spaces; however, parking in rear and streets are available. Prepare for crowds as soon as they open their door!

    This is my first time having dinner at Boiling Seafood Wok. Parking may be a challenge as the parking lot is small. The restaurant offers special dinner dishes at $14.99. We opt for its regular dinner menu as it offers more choices. The highlight of the dinner is the fish hot pot. The fish is fresh, and the broth that accompanies it is delicious. You can also get a free broth refill. The rest of the dishes are delicious, and the waiter offers excellent service.

    House Special Boiling Cod Soup
    Sandy N.

    Came here Saturday with a party of four for lunch and got seated right away. We ordered House Special Boiling Cod Soup and Green Beans. The House Special Boiling Cod was flavorful. Though the fish did not taste fresh, they added a generous amount of it. The soup base was delicious and not salty at all. As for the green beans, it was super salty. It was so salty to the point where I couldn't eat it alone and even with rice without chug a great amount of water. Other than that, it wasn't overcooked and green beans itself was fresh. Service is fast. Parking was simple since there was additional parking in the back. Restaurant can be suited for a large party since they have large tables available. Overall, I feel like it was still worth a try since the food does have some sort of authenticity. I also do hope to be back since this is one of my partner's favorite spots. I'm just hoping the day I went is one of their off days and is not considered their regular cooking.

    String bean with fish (lunch special), seafood and tofu in claypot, beef chow mien, rock fish hotpot
    Amy L.

    We came on a sunday at lunch time and waited 40 minutes to be seated, 15 minutes to order food and another 40 minutes to receive all the dishes we ordered. We were ignored, provided with dirty utensils/bowls and pots of yellow water they call tea. Some major things: The fish hotpot was definitely not worth 75$.. It was greasy, random vegetable chunks/cuts and too much alcohol. I am not sure how this is their famous dish. We ordered a 2lb fish for 5 people but there was barely any meat for each person. The menu said that it was 17.99$/lb but the total came out totally different. The stir fried string bean with fish fillet lunch special dish was 9.99$. It was greasy, they used frozen fish and the beans were fried in oil leaving this weird skin texture on the outside. It was lacking a lot of flavors. The seafood and tofu in claypot was 17.99$ but a total rip off. There were about 6 pieces of small tofu cubes, 4-5 frozen fish fillets (same as the string beans stirfry), 3 shrimps, 5-6 cuttlefish/squid. It was loaded with cabbage at the bottom. The dish mainly tasted of oil and toubanjiang sauce. The beef chow-mien was super greasy, uneven coating of soy sauce and flavor. The beef slices were tenderized to the point that it's not really beef anymore? You can't really taste any beef. There is also no wok hei, a big disappointment. Would not recommend wasting time and money here.

    3.5/5 in general. In short, everything tastes pretty good except for their signature dish (boiling fish) which is kinda ironic.. 4,5/5 Roasted pigeon : tender but compact meat. Kinda tastes like roasted duck but tighter meat. Love it. A bit pricy for this amount of meat for me tho. 5/5 Califlower: crunchy but flavorful. 1/5 boiling dish: the fish was pretty loose and fell apart the bone super easily. It just doesn't look fresh to us and it's $70... it sounded like a fresh fish when they selling it cause they were like "how many pound of the fish you like". Also my friends are all feeling it's less than 3 pounds that we ordered.

    Short while ago, I came across this restaurant on Yelp. The reviews mentioned great food and daily lunch specials, plus something that's unheard of these days, a ling list of specials for only $10. So on a day when we had nothing planned for lunch, we came here to try them out. The parking lot is shared with other businesses. The closest spots are tight and need a little maneuvering skills to get in. The outside and interior is not fancy at all. Just your average Chinese restaurant. The service is similar to a design style I like: minimalist. It's almost like they made an effort to exchange as little words as possible and avoid any facial expressions. For lunch, we went with their specials menu: Filet mignon in black pepper sauce: nice color in the beef but we all know it's not filet mignon. The beef was lacking compared to the onions they filled the plate with. Some pieces were tender, some were chewy. 3/5.(see my photo) Chicken fried rice: decent wok flavor and generous with the chicken. We opted out of scallions or any of the frozen diced veggies. 3.5/5 String beans and chicken: An even amount of chicken vs. beans. Flavor isn't bad. 3.5/5 Seafood tofu hot pot. Decent amount of fish and shrimp with tofu. Good flavor. 4/5. They served complimentary soup, but my soup spoon tasted like dishwater, as if they just fished it out of the sink. One sip was enough for me to thoroughly inspect every bowl plate or cup. Whenever we ask for anything, like water or the rice that was supposed to come with the lunch specials, we had to ask twice. They accept credit cards, but charge .75 extra. And then they tell me they cannot put the tip on the card so we have to use cash. OK, I get why, but what if I didn't bring cash? So the food was pretty decent, not much to rave or complain about. But for me, I very much prefer supporting businesses with good people that actually appreciate their customers a bit. Will I come back? Who knows, but I'm in no hurry that's for certain.

    Ken is an amazing server. I love the food here. Always amazing. That pot if fish always chef kiss. The soup is so amazing I kept drinking a lot. Another thing I 100% recommend from this place is that green bean! Do not order regular green bean. I don't know the english name for the beans but show them the picture and I'm sure they'll let you know what it is. I came on a Friday lunch and definitely no wait. Will always come back!!!!!! Thank you!

    From what time to what time do they have lunch specials available?

    Lunch specials end at 5pm and cost $8.99. Just went there today.

    Is this place permanently closed? I've been trying to call them since January... :(

    As of 4/2, they are open now. Just called and ordered takeout.

    Is this place still buy four item get one free fish?

    They said they're not doing this anymore due to Covid making business more slow. However, they still have their lunch specials from 12-5pm daily and provide free soup. They gave me soup and rice with all my dishes for take out.

    Is the place still open to do take out?

    Yes definitely!! Give them a call or order online

We originally were hoping for 7 or 7:30, but based on how busy and popular this place is I can see why they said no. Come early and get seated right away and there's still ample parking in their parking lot. By the time we left at 7:30p, the lot was packed and people circling around hoping to snag a spot from folks leaving. The restaurant is pretty large and has about 3 rooms with different size tables and booths. No matter the size of your party, there's a table that will accommodate. The staff were very nice and attentive and FAST! We had our food out probably 15 min after we put in our order! Now...on to the food. We ordered one of the set menus for our party of 7 and it was spot on! As you can see in the pictures we had all the "classics". Our set meal could easily be enjoyed by at least 10 people. We had so many leftovers! The food was all well prepared and sufficiently seasoned. Portions of each dish was plentiful and everyone will be able to get enough to satisfy. My favorite items: lobster (duh!), kung pao chicken, pork chops, and shaking beef. The seafood soup is a great starter, and don't forget to add a little vinegar and pepper! Great restaurant in the SGV. This location is much bigger than their Rowland Heights restaurant, but the food is exactly the same. This is a great alternative to the popular Newport Seafood, so don't sleep on this place!

Came at 530 pm on a tuesday, and there wasen't anyone here yet. Afterwards it filled up quickly!! The main thing I dont like about this place is they dont have the prices on what your ordering. Which I'll get too at the end. Like any other Chinese restaurant, their menu is super extensive. I love how they have a little bit of everything. And its very well organized too. We ordered the following: 1. Crab and fish maw soup- this soup was amazing. It was just the right temp. Got me sweating. Can easily feed 12 people. Great amount of maw. The consistency is just right. Tasted so good!! 2. Small lobster special- on a bed of noodles. It was about 5 lbs. Cooked well. Could do without. Basically flavors. And it was expensive!! About $30 a lb. So this one dish cost basically the same amount as all the other dishes. Which was just too much. If I knew it was that much I would definitely not have ordered it. 3. Walnut shrimp- not the best walnut shrimp I've had. But it was ok. 4. Garlic shrimp- this shrimp dish was ok. Too many bell peppers and onions. It was just ok. 5. Mongolian beef- flavors were not that great. Very tender though. Could've been better. 6. Sea trout- this was amazing!! I love the sauce. Fish was so soft and tender. The heat, the spice, the sweetness. Some of that sauce in white rice was just perfection. It was really really good. Best dish of what we ordered. 7. Kung pao chicken- this was a really good dish. Crispy bits of chicken. But so soft and tender inside. I love the sauce that it was in. It was by far one of the highlights of the meal. It was good food. Price for everything (except the lobster) was pretty good. Food tasted amazing for the most part. Typical Chinese customer service. Pay at the front. Massively large portions. Solid authentic Chinese food.
