dim sum- egg tarts. light, flakey, mildly sweet. Great!
Jason K.

Came back here last month and boy has it changed. The food is still good, but the service is horrendous in its own way. As soon as we were seated, we were mobbed by cart ladies trying to forcefully put stuff on our table. After we fended them all off, we tried to order regular water, but the waiter said that they only offer bottle water. This was a first for me, and a ridiculous one at that. Seriously? Mind blown. Fortunately food items were easy to get but having the cart ladies be so aggressive and vulture like, it doesn't make for good ambience. Also, they have started to unethically put two orders of any item you request on your table, when you only ask for one! Had to correct them about this, and they stopped doing it. We will still come back here for the food since its pretty good, but just be forewarned about the previous mentioned issues.

There was no wait on a Sunday afternoon when we arrived. Plenty of seating available and suitable for larger parties. As soon as we sat down, we were bombarded by the dim sum carts. We didn't mind, we were starving so this was perfect for us. Our favorite dishes: -fried shumai -wet beef rolls -wet shrimp rolls -Chinese broccoli Do not recommend: -soup dumplings The soup dumplings were cold and were sticking to each other so when we tried to pull them apart, the outside dumpling would tear and all the broth inside the dumpling would spill. Very friend and fast service. Lots of options. I recommend if you're looking for a decent dim sum spot with no waiting.

Great Seafood Harbor This is a review for my dining experience at Great Seafood Harbor. WHEN: We were a party of 10 and we had dim sum for an early lunch on Saturday. They were able to accommodate us right away. The restaurant has a lot of tables and space. LOCATION/PARKING: It is located near Little India on Pioneer Blvd. There is a pretty big parking lot, but the spots are narrow. FOOD: Food is delicious! They have your typical dim sum specialties. My family and I often select: -Steamed pork buns -Chinese broccoli -Deep fried seaweed wrap -Har Gow -Honey walnut shrimp -Chicken feet Order FRIED HOT TOFU from their menu to share. It's very tasty! When it comes out fresh, make sure you cut it in half to cool it before eating. DESSERT: -Egg tarts -Sesame balls DRINKS: Their hot tea is very refreshing. They have Jasmine and Chrysanthemum ***Bring your own reusable water bottles. They do not offer water for free. They will charge you for bottled water. SERVICE: When you order dim sum they are very aggressive. ****They do not give you a menu to look at. Therefore there is a lack of transparency on the prices. I wish they could give each table a menu so you are aware of the quantity of pieces and the price. They have their cart and will put the plate on your table if you do not firmly say NO! Make sure you make eye contact, shake your head vigorously, and say NO loudly if you do not want a dish. If it is on your table they will stamp your bill and charge you. ***I would assign one person to hold the bill and after they place the item on the table give it to the server to stamp, so you know you are getting charged for that plate. The FOOD is absolutely delicious! But be mindful of the service.

This place has been around forever and you can see how it might've been nice in its hey day. (the chandeliers have star shapes ooh~). We used to come here occasionally for lunch but haven't been back since the pre-pandemic. We decided to give it a try for a weekend lunch. Wow it's bad. They don't offer cups of water w/ice (like a standard restaurant), they only offer bottled water for $2 each. Costco Kirkland brand no less. When they gave us 4 bottles we tried to tell them we only need 2 (since we also had tea) but they refused because it was already written down on the tab. Ugh. Nothing we ordered seemed fresh. Shrimp har gow was stuck to each other, xiao long bao was also stuck to each other like har gow and when we picked it up the filling came out but it was so dry there was no soup inside. 1/4th of the foods we ordered was cold. Egg tart is supposed to have a flaky crust but it looks almost like it was deep fried instead of baked. When we took a bite it was cold; cold like it came out of the fridge wtf. We expected 3 but they gave us 6? So it's more cold food. The turnip cake was like room temp cold. I don't even understand how this could have happened. They usually fry it up before serving it. We had 2 orders of rice noodle w/shrimp, that was as expected. Deep fried shrimp dumplings with chives. That was good, nice and hot as expected. The tea was hot but drinkable out of the teapot (so not scalding). Sesame balls seemed ok (I didn't eat it but the kids did). Maybe their regular food (cook to order) is fine, but we won't be back voluntarily.

My sis and mother in laws bday and this is where they wanna eat. We got seated very fast. It's a large restaurant. The food service cart ladies spotted us as sat down and was eager to service us with food. We ordered frm the menu as well. I like to say it's was very delicious and fast service. I think it's better than the dim sum dwn the

Like everywhere else, prices have gone up but at least the serving size remains generous. We also appreciate the fact that they still have the dim sum carts and an extensive variety of dim sum dishes. We enjoyed most of the items they offer, particularly the dishes with shrimp and/or scallops as the seafood are tasty, tender and plump. I don't recommend the soup dumpling as the dumpling skin is too thick and the meat tends to be pretty dry as if the soup had leaked out long before it got to the table. The cart servers will actively try to convince you to accept every variety of dim sum plates on their carts and some can be a bit pushy about it. But other than that, food is good is service is attentive.

My Husband And I Came Here For Lunch. The Service Was Excellent And The Food Was Delicious. My Husband Been Craving For Dim Sum And Decided To Try This Place. He Loved It And We're Glad It's Near Home. Highly Recommend You Guys Giving This Place A Try. We Will Be Eating Here Again

I absolutely love this place! This is the place to go to if you want quick and easy service. After you get seated, there are servers walking around with carts of dim sum, offering a wide variety of dishes. They're all freshly steamed or pan fried, and it always satisfies my cravings. I go here with my family pretty often, and we always have a good time enjoying some good food. It feels so lively inside. It can feel a little chaotic at times with so many people asking if you want something from their cart. However, I love that the food is freshly made and ready to serve right when you get there. Since we usually come in with an empty stomach, we end up ordering more than we need, but the leftovers are still good later!

It was 4:00PM on Lunar New Year and we wanted dim sum so bad. We called and the lady on the phone said dim sum ended at 3PM, but that they still had some basic dim sum left and could steam what we wanted if they still had it available. She said there was no wait. We went for it! We arrived and the restaurant was DEAD. It was only us and another table. I give them 5 stars for the service and the food! Food was great! We were able to still get some siu mai, har gow, and baos. They were out of a few of our favorite dishes, but what could we expect. Decided to give them 5 stars because they were so kind to us. We had a 5.5 month old with us and she was SO fussy. The workers didn't mind at all and even asked questions about the baby. We felt lucky as we were able to walk around rocking the baby since the restaurant was so dead. Thank you to the kind workers! Overall, food always tastes good here! You can count on that too. Thanks Great Seafood Harbor!

Food There are a variety of classic dim sum choices to pick from with the dim sum cart ladies going around. The usual choices of siomai and har gow were good and can't really go wrong with them. Most of the steamed choices tasted good and I would definitely come back if I'm craving dim sum. The fried choices were okay but a bit dry. Overall i'd say not the best place for dim sum but definitely a safe choice to satisfy cravings. Service/Ambiance Now these dim sum aren't really known for amazing service but it was pretty okay this time around. Once you sit, all the carts start to come to your table and start trying to push these different choices onto you so it can be quite overwhelming, the servers are okay just a bit disappointed that we have to pay for bottled water.

this was once our GO TO  family meal place

Got off my Uber, wandered around the mall, and stumbled into this little gem. Ordered the classic Lanzhou beef lamian, and it was genuinely delicious. The broth was the star, deeply savory and clean. The noodles had a proper bite to them, not overcooked or mushy the way hand-pulled noodles sometimes go. The beef was good. My one nitpick: the daikon was sliced a touch too thin. It's not about generosity, it's about texture, a thicker cut would give a much better bite against the noodles. Service was warm and efficient, and I liked the diverse crew running the place. The room has that comfortable, unpretentious feel of a neighborhood Chinese noodle shop. Great bowl of noodles, and it's close to my office, so I'll absolutely be back on my next trip.

I really appreciate that there's something for everyone on the menu, whether you're craving noodles, dumplings, rice dishes, or something a little different. It's family-friendly, has plenty of variety, and the portions are great for sharing Definitely a place we'd come back to!
