BBQ pork rice 蜜汁叉燒飯

Order was a mix of rice plates and dim sum. I would say dim sum was good. Har gow and Shu mai was good. Bbq pork rice place was disappointing as all the pieces were extremely dry which was mainly not edible. Bbq pork was almost beef jerky texture. Chicken Hainan rice had good flavor but chicken pieces looked suspect. Overall I'd only comeback for the dim sum.

For the prices, this place is not bad at all. Locate in the Asian Mall with plenty of dim sum, noodles, and other dishes choices. Their ladies there speak Chinese & English and they are very nice and friendly too. We got several special promotion set since they introduced us to it. Portion is good size and decent-good and the price tag is quite great. The wontons and the beef are tasty and well make. Others are just okey, the drinks are good...even through they forgot to give us til we reminded them 15mins later, they did apologized for it. We ordered and grab a seat then they brought the foods to us once all done. It's a food court type of place so it's a share community tables. Overall, not bad.

Came here during this festival and parking was chaotic. This is located inside a Vietnamese mall. The food prices aren't too bad and the portions are nice. The had a sale where it's 7.99 wonton soup. So worth it. The Beth is light and the veggies were crunchy. The wontons had flavor. I give it a 4.1/5. The shu mai looked like they were on steroids, i got two batches and it was worth it. I can eat about 4 batches to myself, but 2 individual ones almost had me full. They were better than some dim sum places. 5/5. The rice noodle with shrimp was a disappointment. The noodle was just super sticky and bland. The shrimps were baby shrimps. The sauce was good. 2.7/5 The soup dumplings were good, they give about ten of them and they were all packed with soup. Definitely worth it. 4.5/5. The piggy buns had egg custard instead of red bean so it was nice. I wouldn't get it again but I give it a 3/5. The service and ambiance is super fast pace. Not bad service either.

Hong Kong Steamed Juicy Pork Soup Dumpling
Mary Anne W.

Came here Saturday noon, since there was a festival going on. First time at Asian Mall, the parking is pretty chaotic. The food area is located in the 1st floor, and the staff did not seem pushy at all like the rest of the clothing vendors around the mall. Instead she was patient with us because it was our first time. You get what you pay for of course, cheap dim sum, for okay taste. Hong Kong style soup was on sale that was good, very light in broth and our dim sum was still warm. The line was not long at all, maybe we just got lucky. I read the line can be long. My kids ate their food, so can't complain. Not a fan of the piggy buns, tasted dry. The shrimp rice roll was clumpy and not much flavor at all. The Shu Mai were huge, and tasted favorable and the soup was good. The soup dumplings were okay, at least it had soup in it.

We ate everything it was so delicious!

We chose this place as our lunch spot today because I had to get an oil change close by and needed to kill time. It's located in Asian garden mall and ambiance was not too busy. My daughter LOVED the food and together we shared the steamed buns, sui mai, and ha cao. The lady working was very nice & kind!! 3 dishes+drink for $20 was a steal! We will come back :)

Meatball and noodle soup
Melissa B.

Orange County just keeps upping their dim sum game! We had delivery after finding a two for one special and it was delicious! Definitely recommend the meatball soup. I enjoyed it so much I didn't even share with my family!

Affogato

New drink/dessert very tasty highly recommend . Only $6. I prefer to eat the gelato separate and sip instead of mixing the two. Just my preference

Grace H.

Best Asian drinks, desserts, and Cantonese food. So tasty. The owners could tell that I was Vietnamese and then I spoke to them in Vietnamese.

Th N.

If only I read the reviews before order this. the meat is dry, dimsum is cold, never ever again

Erica T.

The vendor was pushy, food was alright. The Vietnamese coffee was very enjoyable. Not a place I will go back to.

Three pig dumplings

Customer service is very kind! I love their custard pig dumplings. I love it so much, willing to go again :)

Amazing food and amazing service. Pork Belly skewers were BOMB. Good vibes. They even hooked us up with some free food!

Piggy Bun

The "Little Pig" buns have an adorable appearance, and their filling is slightly sweet--exactly the flavor I enjoy. The BBQ buns feature a wonderfully soft and fluffy exterior, while the filling strikes a perfect balance between savory and sweet; they are the best *Char Siu* buns I have ever tasted. The meat in the *Siu Mai* is delightfully springy and chewy, with a flavor that is just right. will come back again.

This place is fireeeeeee Classic, delicious and sexy ass…read moreKorean Chinese food!! The tangsuyuk here is FOCKEN FIRE The batter is perfectly crispy and cronchy and the meat inside is so juicy and yummy. The sauce is so good, it's tangy, sweet, sour just MUAH! I ate tf out this dish.. we had to order rice bc it was so addicting... I dream about the tangsuyuk bro I usually order the jjamppong but I think the soup lacks some flavor and spice even tho I added a gang load of chili powder. They do pack that bih was hella seafood tho, like plump ass shrimps, squid, octopus and mussels. I think the jajangmyun is bomb!! It's so yummy, the sauce is perfect. I'll be getting this all the time now~ The Kung pao chicken is yummy too. Lots of chicken and I lovelovelove the spiciness in it. The peanuts add the perfect lil cronch as well The service here is great, servers are attentive and very informative when we asked a million questions This place is awesome!! Highly highly recommend for anyone looking for some dank ass Korean Chinese food

1/5 Stars -- Poor food quality, hygiene concerns, and outdated interior…read more * Food: The tangsuyuk was almost entirely breading with tiny portions of meat. The jjajangmyun arrived clumped together, the seafood dish lacked both flavor and actual seafood, and the Chinese broccoli looked unappetizing. * Atmosphere: The dining room is grimy, dingy, and severely outdated (looking like it hasn't seen an update in decades), which makes the cleanliness of the kitchen questionable. * Service: Highly unhygienic server handling--touching the rims of cups and grabbing tableware near the parts that go into your mouth. Safe to say I won't be coming back.

The broth is the same as the original, and the meat quality is good. The staff are friendly and…read morework very hard. However, the restaurant is quite warm and humid. Since this is a hot pot restaurant, good air conditioning is especially important. Unfortunately, the dining area feels warm, and combined with the heat and humidity from the hot pot, the atmosphere can become uncomfortable and make it difficult to fully enjoy the meal. In addition, the restaurant seems understaffed. You often have to wait quite a while for someone to come by when you want to reorder or even pay the bill. Unless I'm really craving the broth, I'd probably choose Shabuya instead.

This AYCE hotpot is a hidden gem of HB. Used to be Lazy Dog....a restaurant that allows dog owners…read moreto bring in their trusted companions. It explains why you recognize the area with no tables. So parking is peak during busy hours and it's next door to Gen KBbq. Inside is inviting. Complimentary water while waiting for table. Was seated right away during lunch time (11am to 3pm). Table has two metal scoops, which one has holes for you dig your hotpot goodies. Chose House Spicy Broth and chose the lunch option (which includes only 3 meat and chicken). That's not bad for $22. Premium is $41 but adds other stuff including wagyu meat. You can order selected meat as separate to be added to your current AyCE plan. What's separate this place from others is that you can choose to have a divider and not. Divider is an option if you/your party don't like mixing stuff with another broth. Chose no divider. Drinks are included as well, water is by request only if you don't like soda (Pepsi products) Like other AyCE hot pots, there's the area where it has all your selected vegetables, seafood, noodles and sauces. All are continently label so you know what you are getting. There's an area where selected hot sides are there like pad sew/fried rice and even fried gyoza. Choosing no divider can be overwhelming because then pot is so big that not even four full plates is not enough to cover the whole pot. Was eating for over 30 minutes and I just realized I forgot I got shrimp Only complaint is that getting house spicy broth can be annoying because you will be scooping up those red schwann peppers everytime you dive into your hotpot. Overall, highly recommend on giving this place a try.

Saw this spot on a local board and recommendation from reviewer so we ventured over to try them…read moreout. The parking can be a bit tight and limited but two times now we got right in front. Simple lay out and both times pretty full, seems that Lobster dish is the one that keep them coming. The have lunch specials 7 days a week and the 1st time we tried from that menu. Served with a simple soup that was very tasty for visually simple. My wife got a dish with catfish that she really liked. My 2nd visit I went with the Fried noodle dish, he made it with chicken and shrimp and it was amazing. Service is great and they kind of work the floor like a team and keep all the tables happy. Our 1st waiter knew a little Tagalog and playfully attempted to use it. He was really funny. Both times we took food home and had plenty of leftovers. Great little hidden gem that is a bit out of the way but worth the travel. Go check them out.

Came back here for a family event. We were a little worried about a long wait and hard parking but…read moregiven the recession-vibes these days, we also weren't that worried. Turns out, it wasn't nearly as crowded as before - though spoiler: the price has increased a lot (I want to say it was $25/lb 10 years ago, and now is $37/lb). Keep in mind too, you can't get a small amount like 1lb - usually it's gonna be 3+lb so your bill is easily going to hit mid-$100 to $200s from the lobster alone. That being said, many people swear this is the best, and that's why they can charge whatever they want. I'm actually allergic to lobster (lol) but am a team player so I just sampled it for the funsies, and had to get another dish to actually eat (went with the beef lok luk). My family said the lobster noodle was good, but not like, fantastic (which we were expecting not fantastic but yeah, mostly came here to a family meeting.) The beef lok luk was also pretty good like, 4.3 of 5 - we just had another version at Paradise which was astounding (like 4.6) though also more expensive and pretty far away. Overall, not sure if we'll come back again as we're more curious about the copycats that have popped up which might be 80% as good and much more affordable. Stay tuned! :)

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.
