This unassuming former Japanese restaurant in a small strip mall has some awesome Chinese food. We went when they opened on a Saturday and were seated right away by their friendly staff. The dim sum portions are quite large and tasty. Tried a lot of out standards: shu mai, sticky rice, pork ribs, ha gow, tofu rolls, shrimp noodles, baked bao, veggie/shrimp dumpling, gin duey and egg tarts. We also had a Peking duck and chow fun. Super generous portions and we can't wait to go back. read more

Came with my wife and kids to this highly rated place. My expectations were very high. We ordered some recommended items from the waiter. Most was pretty good but the duck was horrible. I did order everything on the menu so maybe it is my fault for ordering wrong. But for the price I dont think it was worth it to me. read more

By far one of the best Chinese restaurants in Long Beach. An extensive menu where the food is of great quality and consistent. The Diced filet French Style is amazing. This is a little hidden jewel. read more

EA Seafood Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

We literally circled the area looking for EA Seafood, not realizing the Japanese resteraunt with the former name still up was now EA Seafood. I'm guessing the banner flew off. We walked in to check, and the menus at the entrance confirmed it was indeed EA Seafood. You'll immediately notice that the inside decor still has remnants of a Japanese restaurant. We were welcomed in and realized that we made it just in time for the lunch specials, which ends at 3pm. From the lunch special menu, we ordered the Kung Pao Chicken, which came with egg drop or sweet and sour soup, an egg roll, and a small bowl of rice. We also tried the Honey Walnut Shrimp, not on the lunch special menu, and Combination Fried Rice. Overall, your best value is the lunch specials. Everything was good, but I found the food to be a bit bland. I'll come back to try more of the menu. read more

This place has some of the best chinese food i had in LB. I think it is the best actually. So i saw somebody talking about EA on FB so i wanted to try since its close to home! I ordered the honey walnut shrimp, house fried rice which comes with rice, chicken, beef and shrimp and also the mongolian beef. The honey walnut shrimp was the best i ever had. The rice was good and the mongolian beef was flavorful. It's a bit pricy but the quality of food you get here is top notch. I would definitely come back no questions asked. The inside is nice and peaceful. The staff was good assisting me. Great place to bring a date or family night out. This is where the old japanese restaurant (kinokawa) was located. I hope they do good because they really are IMO the best in LB when it comes to good chinese food and we need more places like this in the area so we don't have to drive far out! . Food rating: Honey Walnut Shrimp = 9.4 (Best i ever had so far) Mongolian Beef = 8.7 House Fried Rice = 8.5 read more

DELICIOUS Cantonese food, coming from someone who just visited Hong Kong. We got the Singapore vermicelli and kung pao chicken. 1. Singapore noodles 8.5/10- has a great bouncy noodle texture that most Singapore noodles lack. It has a strong curry flavor which I love, and the shrimps were surprisingly succulent. Usually shrimps in Singapore noodles are dry and overcooked, but these were well done! 2. Kung Pao Chicken 10/10- BEST KUNG PAO CHICKEN!! The chicken was super tender and the sauce was amazing. The only critique is that I wish there were more peanuts but I won't dock a point because it's just that yummy! Friendly staff and a peaceful ambiance. They've got zen music playing and I felt like I was at a meditation class. The decoration and furniture was very Japanese inspired, but I think they took over after a Japanese restaurant closed. I highly recommend, and I'm so excited for them to add dim sum to their menu soon! read more

This unassuming Chinese restaurant really is a neighborhood gem. First off, there's almost no way to tell there's a restaurant at this location unless you're actually looking for it. Even then, I wouldn't expect it to be a Chinese seafood restaurant, and a very good one at that. Everyone in our party of four found the food to be delicious. The ingredients were very fresh and the portions were generous. The staff here are courteous and helpful, and the ambiance is quite nice, complete with soft, unobtrusive music and a Japanese design aesthetic. We're definitely adding AE Seafood to our dine-in/takeout rotation. read more

I had heard that a new Chinese restaurant opened up in Long Beach, so I decided to come check it out when meeting a former coworker for lunch. There is a dedicated parking lot which was not too full for lunch on a Wednesday, which made parking easy. The interior is beautiful and reflects decor of a former Japanese restaurant. Service was good though occasionally it would take some effort to flag someone down (we were not proactively checked on as regularly though when we got the servers' attention they would come to refill soup bowls or water without asking). I did hear some workers conversing in Cantonese. The menu is large and while it has all the Americanized stuff there was a decent offering of more authentic Chinese dishes as well. We ended up ordering primarily off of the regular/dinner menu, which while a little pricier comes as very large generous portions. We enjoyed the sauteed snow pea sprouts, clams with green onions and ginger, and black pepper beef dishes. My coworker ordered a large egg drop soup and two spring rolls. The egg drop soup was nothing special, though I did ask for white pepper. The clams dish sauce was a bit too thick/starchy for my tastes, but was otherwise tasty. There was a separate charge for steamed rice, $2.25 per large-ish rice bowl. While this charge does happen even in many Chinese restaurants, I always feel just a tad annoyed when rice doesn't outright come with the meal (though I suspect rice does come with the lunch specials). The lunch specials menu offered cheaper and smaller portions of several dishes, likely accompanied by rice and a small bowl of soup. Many restaurant patrons looked like they were working and came in to have a quick business lunch. Overall, food was not bad and service was solid. Prices were also fair and portions large (for regular/dinner menu items). I would definitely consider coming back to try more off of their menu! read more

We tried coming here for Chinese New Year. We arrived before 5pm, and one table had just left. We walked in and maybe 4 tables were seated. There was no one else waiting to be seated. No one was at the front counter and we waited several minutes until a lady came out from the kitchen. We had to go and ask her to be seated, she did not approach us even though we were obviously standing around waiting for a table. She asked if we had a reservation and we said no. She abruptly said no to us and went to the kitchen. Then a man came out a few minutes later. He asked if we had a reservation and we said no. He said they were too busy and if we did not have a reservation we could not be seated. We looked around at the dining room that literally had several empty tables. Also, as already stated, a party just left and no one was waiting for a table. It isn't like the place was hopping. I also told him I didn't even know you COULD make a reservation. He didn't bother to tell me how that could be done in the future, I guess he couldn't help us and that was that. Not a great way for our Chinese family to celebrate Chinese New Year. So we left and went to LV Seafood. It was far busier than EA but we were seated immediately and service and food was good and quick and cheaper than EA...and there were no stressed out staff members who were worried when they only had 4 tables full. This was the second strike for EA for us. Not sure if we will be giving them another chance. read more

Another great addition to Cal Heights! We were in need of a good Chinese restaurant. I would rate EA on par with Nomad, and above places like Yang Chow or Chen's. We had the spicy salted shrimp, Mongolian chicken, and some braised green beans. They were all very good. There are so many things on the menu that I want to try. Next up would be clams and a fish dish. My only complaint would be that I wish the landlord had renovated the space after Kinowawa left. It could really use an update and utilize the space better. read more

EA Seafood Restaurant - Stir-Fried Chicken Mongolian Style Shrimp with Spicy Salt Shell Off - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

A little pricey but the food quality is high. As others have noted, this is a former Japanese restaurant and they have this super low key music with a video of sea turtles playing. We had the minced beef soup, cashew chicken, and some pan fried noodles. The food was really good, considering most local places were steam table fast food. read more

New restaurant alert! Hubby heard about EA Seafood from Long Beach Food Scene. He learned that the owner and several staff of EA came from Nomad Bistro. The space that EA Seafood occupies was formerly a Japanese restaurant and they've kept the atmosphere/decor. We were greeted by multiple staff upon entry and discovered that the interior of the restaurant is much larger than I expected it to be. Hubby is very picky about his Chinese food. His family owned a Chinese restaurant back in the day while he was growing up so his opinion of good Chinese food holds a lot of weight for me. Everything that we tasted, we loved! Salt & Pepper Bean Curd Cubes - lightly crispy topped with a little bit of fried garlic, peppers, and green onion. Served with a mix of soy sauce and vinegar. https://bit.ly/42qomaZ Black Mushroom with Mustard Green - It's tossed in a light saucy-sauce. Great mix of textures between the chewy mushroom and the crunchy/juicy mustard green. https://bit.ly/49lklai Sichuan Spicy String Bean - They're using some good quality green beans for this dish! Also, the little bits of peppers and some salty pickle-y ingredients were a fun surprise. https://bit.ly/42nF0rK BTW, the chili oil tasted different than the average chili oil. This one had a smokiness to it. YUM! Meateater Hubby also got the Beef Chow Fun. That's his measuring stick for what he considers a good Chinese restaurant. This place is Hubby-approved! Great food and great service! We felt very welcomed here. The restaurant was fairly quiet/empty when we first walked in at 6pm on a Thursday night. But the dining room started to fill up by the time we left. This place is a gem! I predict that this will become our regular go-to spot for our Chinese food cravings :) read more

I love this place!!!! This review is long overdue since I've probably been here around 4-5 times for dinner -- I even had the honor of having my birthday dinner here earlier this year, haha. My partner and I always get the veggie fried rice, orange peel chicken, and stir fried Mongolian beef to share. Food has been delicious every time, and we usually have a lot to take home. When we came with a bigger group for my birthday, we also got the cheese wontons and seafood pan fried noodles. Both were delicious as well; you really can't go wrong with any of their dishes. Prices are on the higher side but considering the quality and how much food you get, I'd say it's pretty reasonable. This spot was formerly a Japanese restaurant and the interior decor definitely still reflects that, but it's a nice ambiance regardless. Service is always phenomenal. My partner and I LOVE their chili oil sauce and go through it like crazy every time we go to EA. Last time we were here, we asked the owner (?) if they sold their sauce, and he came back with a full to-go container of the sauce for us to take home for free! We've been meaning to try their dim sum in the mornings, so we'll be returning soon. Highly recommend (': read more

We used to eat here when it was a Japanese restaurant (Kinokawa), but this new seafood restaurant is absolutely delicious! We ordered the Chow Fun with chicken, Eggplant Szechuan Style, small Hot & Sour Soup, and a small Won Ton Soup. All dishes were excellent and we will be back to try more of the dishes they make. It was a very pleasant experience along with the company of the Manager (Mary) who was an absolute blast! She made us feel welcome and was surprised to see she was also servicing all the tables--it was an off hour we were there in addition to it raining so there was probably 2-3 tables, but still Mary is not afraid to get right in and take care of whatever needs attention. She was super entertaining that we told her she should be a comedian with the stories she shared. We will be back along with more people to enjoy this new restaurant. Thank you! read more

Very small parking lot so finding parking maybe a problem. We got there early so parking was easy but lot was full by the time we left. Ordered 2 lunch special and a few dim sum. Soup for lunch was excellent but both the beef broccoli and chicken dishes very too salty. The dim sum dumplings was just average. Overall it is a small clean atmosphere. If I went back, I would ask them to reduce the salt. read more

I'd read about EA Seafood and decided to give them a try. Hubby is very picky about his Chinese l, but he agreed to give it a try. We ordered delivery on a rainy night. It was delicious!!! We ordered the Cream Cheese Wontons and they were crispy and good. The Filet Mignon was yummy and loved the onions it came with. I love a good Honey Walnut Shrimp and this one didn't disappoint. The Orange Chicken was excellent, not mired down in over-breading. And the chow mein was delicious. I regret that we couldn't eat there, even the Door Dash delivery guy asked about the food and said interior of restaurant was beautiful. I'm looking forward to eating in next time. read more

A friend and I visited EA earlier this week and had a fantastic lunch. We ordered a variety of dim sum options and main dishes, all of which were fantastic and delicious. I had not had dim sum in a really long time so I was looking forward to this visit, and I left quite happy with a bag full of leftovers to enjoy for dinner. The honey walnut shrimp and pan fried clams with ginger and green onion dishes were among my faves, along with the BBQ pork bun and shrimp dumpling dim sum picks. Our waitress was lovely and gave great service and we had our own little corner to ourselves and to catch up with each other. Highly recommended and will come back again for sure! read more

Fantastic foodand great ambiance! I could repeatedly go back to this place again and again.

Thank goodness Long Beach finally has a dim sum place! The service is fantastic, atmosphere chill, food delicious. The dim sum is expensive in comparison to garden grove/Monterey park ... but it's local and the quality is top notch. Even the broth that the bok choy is cooked in is delicious! I'm a big fan on congee and this is some of the best out there. Totally worth a return visit. read more

Looked up dim sum and found this gem! Came here on a Saturday for lunch and was very satisfied with the taste and selection of food. We ordered shumai, shrimp and chive dumplings, sesame balls, bbq pork boas, and Hong Kong noodles and everything was delicious. Service was good the waitress was attentive, there people trickling in but we always had water in our glasses. The most impressive thing was the size of everything! The sesame balls were huge as were the shumai! Taste was great and not greasy. I really enjoyed this quiet and clean restaurant! Definitely will be coming back read more

Summary - it's ok if you come early or don't mind waiting. Wait is long. Service is slow but they're trying. Quality is decent for the price point. Tastes authentic. Came here on a Sunday afternoon, waited over an hour. The place is pretty small inside no banquet tables but I saw some groups of 9-12 people sitting at long tables. There's limited seats while waiting so if you have parents or grandparents have them come later or bring them a chair. Once seated I wrote my order down, it's ~$8 a dish. They are charging Lunasia prices - they are not Lunasia or NBC/Elite etc. I ordered fast and waved the one waitress down and gave it to her. I read the reviews about the wait for everything so I did this to ensure my order was in quickly. Gota be assertive at Asian places. I ordered... Chicken feet are my fave and must have. I'm glad they have it but they tasted more like soy braised than the regular chicken feet flavor I'm used to. Shrimp noodles were amazing! Very very fresh noodle and a large quantity which makes up for the price. There's a decent amount of shrimps. Wish they had put more sauce. Shu mai were decent. 3 piece per order. Char su bao were very sweet but nice and hot. Har gow I didn't love, there were ground shrimp and whole shrimp. Tasted off IMO. Service was okay. They're really trying but it's busy and here's not enough people. I'm sure they're working out kinks. Glad LB has dimsum I guess!! read more

06.13.2024 Got here around 5pm. The parking area has surrounding businesses around this place. It can be hectic to park, pending what time of day you go. Entered the restaurant and was greeted and seated. Ordered Beef snow peas, Wonton Soup and mixed house fried rice. All arrived within 15mins. The food was delicous! The portion was perfect and the dishes did not taste like MSG was added. No after taste, just fresh. I even hear some chopping going on in the kitchen. Clean indication that food is made fresh. Overall I would recommend this place. I believe this is a hidden gem that is untapped. Literally the best Chinese food place in Long Beach. We were alittle skeptic because of the location and the vibe inside the restaurant, being the only one there. The waiter was cool, which all that mattered. Not like them other waiters that are entitled to their business and simply rude. I did not get that feeling. Outside looks deceiving compared to being inside. The place looks like a Chinese Restaurant from the Kung fu movies! Lol you have the option to sit on the floor. Restrooms were clean and the ambiance felt good. Again, it's a hidden gem that alot of people are not aware of. Place has been open for 5 months now and was just told they are going to implement Dim Sum in a few weeks. Go get some Chinese food, prices are above average but you get what you pay for. Wardlow and Walnut in the LBC. read more

First time at this establishment. Very nice decor, staff was very friendly. The bathroom was Pretty & CLEAN, except for the little sign above the table that says DON'T put TP in the toilet! REALLY? Get better plumbing! The food was good although not a lot of flavor. Not sure if this place uses MSG or not. Might be why I'm not giving it 5 stars and have read the flavor lacks at this restaurant.

My favorite place for Chinese food in Long Beach! This restaurant is tucked away in a residential area next to a liquor store and laundry mat. You'd never think to find some of the best Chinese food in LB hidden away in this quiet neighborhood. They specialize in seafood which is what we've gotten every time. So far we've tried the Kung Pao shrimp, Honey walnut shrimp, Shrimp with clam sauce and Szechuan shrimp. All of them have been delicious (my fav is the honey walnut at the moment since it's not too sweet). But my fiancé and I agree that the Chow Mein is some of the best we've had. It's an absolute must when coming here. We always order take out but plan to dine in one day since the interior is quite beautiful and has a nice ambiance with plenty of seating. read more
