Longo understands the pleasures of a proper Cantonese feast: abundant seafood, generous aromatics, and every reason to linger over one more helping. The lobster sashimi wasn't quite for me, but the steamed king crab legs, fried crab, and crab fried rice were phenomenal, the sort of dishes that quickly become the table's main favorites. The California lobster legs, prepared with plenty of spring onion, garlic, and ginger, were another highlight. Then came the stewed pork belly, rich and unapologetically fatty, offering the particular comfort that only over indulgence can provide. Taken together, it was a gloriously satisfying San Gabriel Valley dinner. Come hungry and bring good company. read more

Dear Better Business Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint regarding a billing practice at Longo Seafood Restaurant. Recently, my family of four visited the restaurant. The four of us were two adults and our two children, ages 9, and 6. Food are Good Service is Bad Hygiene is Ok But when we ordered our drinks, we specifically ordered four glasses of ice water. We did not order tea, and no one in our family drank the tea that was brought to our table. However, when we received the bill, the restaurant charged us $1.99 per person for tea, for a total of $7.96. I asked the restaurant staff why we were being charged for tea when nobody had ordered or consumed it. I was told that every person sitting at a table is automatically charged $1.99 for tea, and that this was the restaurant's policy. When I questioned the practice, I was told, in substance, that if I did not agree with the policy, I should not come to the restaurant. I find this practice concerning, particularly because the charge was not something we requested or consumed. I also do not recall being clearly informed before ordering that each person would automatically be charged $1.99 for tea regardless of whether the tea was ordered or consumed. I am not filing this complaint simply because of the $7.96 charge. My concern is the transparency of the restaurant's mandatory charge and the way the policy is communicated to customers. I respectfully ask the BBB to review this complaint and, if appropriate, ask the restaurant to clearly disclose this mandatory tea charge to customers before they order or be seated, so customers can make an informed decision. I would also appreciate clarification as to whether this type of mandatory beverage charge is properly disclosed to customers under applicable consumer-protection and business-practice requirements. I believe customers have the right to know about mandatory charges before they incur them. Thank you for your time and assistance. I am willing to provide a copy of the receipt and any additional information needed regarding this complaint. Sincerely, read more

Alaskan King Crab Fried: My dad and I love their fried crab. There's no other asian restaurant in the 626 that I know of that makes a dish like this. They sell this by marketplace per pound, average price can rack up around $80 or above depending on the market price. Totally worth the money if you're in the mood to celebrate for a special occasion. They accept credit card! read more

Had a great time with my buddy and his Chinese girlfriend. She knew how to communicate with the servers giving us an advantage with the ordering and service. Cons: -it's a little pricey on the weekends, almost no items are on A tier price; while the best ones are C tier like shumai and shrimp dumpling. -wait time is a little slow especially after your first order. Make sure you get everything in on your first go. They're super busy and everything is made fresh, so it takes longer though it all comes out piping hot. Pros: -shumai were the largest ones I've ever seen and they taste great. The shrimp dumplings are one of the best I've had. Very tasty. Ambiance is very loud and crowded; though that's means it's good. Great for larger groups too. Overall 4/5 If we come back we'll come back on a weekday for better prices. read more

Longo Seafood Restaurant - Shumai - Seafood Near Me - Rosemead, California

This place is so good! Got our typical orders and loved all of them. I'm from the Bay Area in San Jose, so have had dim sum in the Richmond / sunset area of SF and Cupertino, but this is definitely better, which is so weird to admit!! Xiu Mai was awesome, char siu bao, Chinese broccoli cooked to perfection. The wait wasn't terrible on a weekend with kiddos - about 20 minutes! Food was fantastic and we will definitely be back! read more

This was our first time here this is a huge dining room and the design is exquisite on one side. There is a large TV light display in here are an amazing number for people and tables you order from the menu and the dishes are brought out. Some minor problems. The dessert items were brought up first and one of the items a scallop first they said they were out of it then they said they already delivered it, but they identified as the scallop roll did not have scallop in it with some form of meat Flavors were very good prices were reasonable for the area two of us ate for about $30 a person. They do have a parking lot behind the restaurant. We were there during the week no problem parking or getting a table at lunchtime. read more

Longo fell short for me this past Sunday, 10/11. The cha shui was dry (it was moist and like butter last time) and the gai lan Chinese broccoli was old. While the huge sui mai were huge, it tasted rubbery. The beef in the beef chow fun was chewy. Still delicious were the ha gow shrimp dumplings, bean curd rolls in oyster sauce, bac tung go (sweet rice gelatinous cake) and XO chicken feet. Tea was an expensive $2/person. Dishes are more expensive on the weekend. Tea/dishes are a tad cheaper on weekdays, so go during the week. Service was good. Beautiful ambiance. Free parking in the back. Come when it opens at 10am to beat the crowd. After bringing and bragging to my friends how great the food is, I was disappointed this time. But I'll be back bc this is mom's favorite dim sum place when she visits LA. Perhaps stay with coming during the week rather than a Sunday. One more thing, please add string beans and pea sprouts to your menu. read more

I am always looking for new dim sum spots to try whenever I am in Los Angeles. I have passed by Longo Seafood Restaurant many times but never paid much attention to it. Despite seeing average reviews and hearing about mediocre service, I decided to give it a try. We arrived near the end of their dim sum service hours, but they were still able to accommodate all of our orders. We stuck with some classics, including shumai, beef meatballs, and beef cheung fun, and also ordered the beef ho fun. One of my favorite dim sum dishes is shumai, and the ones here were nearly twice the size of the typical versions I have had elsewhere. They were juicy, flavorful, and definitely a standout dish. I also really enjoyed the beef ho fun, which we ordered wet style rather than dry. It came with tender slices of beef, soft wide rice noodles, Chinese broccoli, and was smothered in a rich, savory brown sauce. The dish was delicious, and the portion size was very generous. Overall, I thought this was a solid and authentic dim sum restaurant. The service was attentive, and our food arrived fairly quickly. Longo Seafood Restaurant made a great first impression, and it is a place we will definitely remember and consider revisiting on our next trip to LA. read more

This place was highly rated by a lot of foodies. So we decided to give it a try. -Shumai- pretty juicy -Har gow - the dumpling skin was too thick -Congee - thousand egg and shredded meat - good but not my favorite -Broccoli - not bad -Chasu buns - one of the best ones. Sticky and sweet on the outside, soft and flavorful -tofu - pretty juicy -Steamed napa cabbage with fish - tasted interesting. Couldn't really tell it's fish. Parking in the back. It gets packed on a weekend. read more

4 Stars = Good, 5 Stars = Great. This place is a 3.75 star. Good enough to be a 4. We were originally going to the Sea Harbour place with the rooster in Rosemead, but they were closed due to "vermin infestation" and eventually might have closed permanently as of this moment. After finally finding parking and walking to the restaurant, walk past by 2 dead roaches, go figure. The dining room was very fancy looking, a bit tacky, but better than being run down. This is a no cart place, and the food came out pretty quickly. The flavor of all the dishes were pretty on point. So there's really nothing to write here. They missed two of my items so I had to remind them and at the end we only got one of them. But it's fine since we pretty much over ordered any way. We will definitely be back, but probably when it's cooler so there's less chance of seeing roach carcasses. read more

I came here for a multi--occasion private party. Cons: The outside looked dated and the women's restroom was beyond disgusting. Pros: The inside was beautiful, our private room was very nice and the food was good. We ordered the banquet menu and all the food was delicious: walnut prawns, steam sea bass, steam chicken, filet mignon, lobster, fried rice, combination platter with sausage, duck, chicken and jellyfish, just to name a few. Service was ok. There is a free parking lot in the back and free street parking. read more

Took my family here for dim sum and it's become my favorite in the entire 626. I love that they have my favorite hard-to-find items like the almond tea with puff pastry and rice rolls with braised beef. The best part? It's all done well, authentically, and is super tasty. The hao gao and siu mai come in gigantic portions that I ended up having to share in order to try all the items, so they're great value. Of the 10+ dishes, not one was a miss. Highly recommend and this is our new go-to dim sum spot. read more

Forced to come here and get dim sums to go because a few of the dim sum only place are closed on Tuesday. Bought three orders sui mar, three orders of shrimp buffs, two orders of chicken naps, one order of tofu skin roll and one order of chun fun. The bill for ten orders came to a little more than $52.00. Not really bad， but it a little cheaper at Dim sum only places. The foods tasted about the same. It is all good. Ray out! read more

This review is for their to-go bbq and dim sum location which is located street-side, not inside the restaurant where the entrance is in the corner. You can park in the Longo restaurant parking lot or on the street. Note: This quick to-go spot is cash only Portions are good and service is quick. The place can get busy during peak hours Wanted to pick up something quick for lunch and Longo bbq was nearby. Inside is pretty typical for this type of food. There's an assortment of veggies and proteins where you can order a ala carte or as a lunch combo plate. They also have dim sum options if you're looking to pick any up. Prices are pretty good, a ala carte runs about $8 I think for a large and 2 item combos are $9-10. Spent $19 for a large portion of fried pork chop (forgot to take a picture) and a 2 item combo with Char siu and roasted pork To be honest, I probably have a better experience with this place mainly due to the fact that I went early where everything was still fresh. Might be different later in the day for food items that may have been sitting for a while. One thing I do like about all of the items we ordered was that they were not overly salted. Some might think it's bland, but I enjoy the light flavoring. The roasted pork was done well, just enough fattiness to give flavor. Same with fried porkchop. The veggies that come with the combo plate was fresh, well cooked The negative would probably be the char siu, where I just think it needed more flavor or sauce. Since it may not have been marinated enough, I wish they would have poured some of the sauce on top of it and the rice to make it more satisfying. I'll have to ask next time I visit. read more

Fresh seafood, classic Cantonese flavors, and perfect for sharing We came here for a family-style dinner and left very satisfied. If you're looking for traditional Cantonese seafood in the SGV, this is definitely worth a visit. The restaurant is well known for its live seafood and banquet-style dishes. The cold king crab legs were incredibly fresh. The meat was sweet, firm, and naturally flavorful without needing much sauce. It was a great way to start the meal. One of my favorite dishes was the ginger & scallion king crab. The crab stayed juicy while absorbing the fragrance of ginger and scallions. Every piece was packed with flavor but not overly salty. We also ordered the salt and pepper fried king crab, which had a crispy exterior while keeping the meat tender inside. It paired perfectly with the garlic and scallions. The stir-fried mushrooms with snow peas were a nice balance to all the seafood--fresh, light, and cooked just right. Another surprise was the roasted squab. The skin was beautifully crispy, while the meat remained juicy and flavorful. Definitely worth ordering if you enjoy Cantonese-style roasted dishes. To finish the meal, we had the crab roe with steamed egg custard, which was silky smooth and rich without being too heavy. It was comforting and a perfect ending. The portions were generous, making it ideal for sharing with family or a larger group. Service was efficient even though the restaurant was busy, and the seafood quality really stood out. Overall, this was a memorable Cantonese seafood dinner, and I'd happily come back to try more seasonal specialties. Recommended: * Cold king crab legs * Ginger & scallion king crab * Salt & pepper king crab * Roasted squab * Stir-fried mushrooms with snow peas * Crab roe steamed egg custard read more

The bald man in glasses and white button shirt was a little rude. We made a dinner reservation for 5:30pm and there were a bunch of open tables but he was giving us a hard time when we asked to switch tables and they were all open. Other than that majority of the staff esp the female kitchen employees bringing out the food was really sweet and attentive. We came both for dim sum and dinner and both was nice! Food quality is really good! Came for the king crab at night and that was cooked really well. Parking: free lot in the back read more

If you want to eat Alaskan King crab, then IMO, then Longo is my hands down choice in the SGV. Prepared 3 ways, deep fried with minced garlic, steamed with clear noodle, and in a cold fruit salad, all 3 methods are divine. Be prepared to pay a handsome sum, but with a party of 8, it is very affordable, and a culinary delight. Highly recommended! read more

Longo Seafood Restaurant - King crab - Seafood Near Me - Rosemead, California

Came here on a Tuesday for lunch with my parents. It was a bit busy, but the wait was under 10 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. We ordered the usual dim sum staples and added one special item, the imperial cold chicken. That dish was the standout. Super flavorful, tender, and honestly the highlight of the meal. Everything else we ordered was solid and hit the spot. The food overall was really good. Ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from a classic Chinese restaurant. Loud, busy, and energetic. You can still hold a conversation, but you'll need to raise your voice a bit. Now the downside. Service was lacking. We had to refill our own teapot and grab our own to-go boxes. No real attentiveness, and compared to other dim sum spots nearby, the service here falls short. Parking is convenient. They have a small free lot plus free street parking, which is always a plus. Would I come back? If someone else suggested it, sure. The food is excellent, but the service definitely needs improvement. read more

Decided to come here as my friend recommended this spot for its dim sum. As someone who's been to a decent number of dim sum places and raised by parents who were from Hong Kong, we came in with a lot of expectation. Unfortunately this place fell short of those expectations. This restaurant is HUGE but don't fret, there's a big parking lot behind so I assume it gets packed usually. The inside was also very glamorous: high ceilings, decorative tables, and a huge screen showing different Chinese cooking videos. It was super nice inside, definitely good for hosting weddings/private events/large gatherings. My family and I ordered the following items: 1. BBQ Pork Bun 2. Har Gao 3. Chicken feet 4. Sticky Rice Wrap with meat 5.Charcoal egg yolk bun 6. Jumbo shiu Mai 7. Cheung fan We thought the food was decent but not as good as Seafood Harbour. The only interesting dish was the charcoal egg yolk bun as it was sweet and warm on the inside. I thought the shiu mai was a little hard even though it was jumbo, but it didn't taste good. The Cheung fan was also a bit sticky to my liking. Price wise is on the more expensive side too. read more

Dim sum has gotten so expensive, but it seems like this spot is pretty good and authentic. The waiting space is funny as there are rows of chairs facing the same direction. It felt like were at the DMV, but it was comfortable and better than waiting outside. It wasn't too bad on a Sunday morning. I came with one friend and it came out to $32 before tip. We ordered the following: Longo Shumai Dumpling - these were HUGE. A must get Shrimp & Chives Dumpling - not my fave, but they were big. Long Shrimp Dumpling - standard Deep-fried Meat Dumpling - i love these footballs Five Spice Taro Cake - standard Chinese Broccoli - standard and good portion I'd come back again, specifically for those shu mais! read more

Probably one of the worst, if not the very worst dim sum I have in LA....... A must not go place for real!!!

We sometimes drive from Orange County to get the dimsum here. We arrived towards the end of their service near the 3:00 PM break, and usually, at that time, you're usually getting rushed to leave, but the staff here was incredibly patient and let us enjoy our meal at our own pace. Dimsum we got: Char Siu Sou: This was the absolute highlight. The pastry was incredibly flaky and buttery, and the honey glaze on top gave it that authentic sweet-and-savory balance that is hard to find. Bean Curd Roll: Expertly prepared. The skin held its texture beautifully against the savory sauce, and the filling tasted remarkably fresh. Lo Mai Gai (Sticky Rice): The lotus leaf fragrance was deeply infused into the rice, which was moist and packed with a generous amount of filling. The technical skill behind that pastry work and the overall flavor profiles are comparable to some of the dim sum houses in Guangzhou, China. read more

Most of the dishes were in good quality: - Shumai was the best quality on the menu - Hargow was ok, the wrapper overtook the taste - spareribs was good, it had kabocha pumpkin which balanced the flavor well - bbq pork rolls is much better than the beef/shrimp Service was ok, but could be better We went at 11 am on a weekday, so seats were plenty read more

The food was actually good, but the service was one of the worst I've experienced. We came in around 5:00 PM on a weekend with a party of 16 and were seated in a private room. From what we could tell, there was only one server working the dining area. Our first request was simple: 15 glasses of water. We waited about 20 minutes. When the server finally returned, he didn't even bring the water to our table. Instead, he placed all the glasses on the service station inside the room, said, "The water is here," and walked away, expecting us to serve ourselves. Later, my sister-in-law asked for two more plates of peanuts. It took another 10 minutes, but this time the same server had no problem walking over and handing the plates directly to her. So apparently bringing items to the table was possible after all. Being busy is one thing. Being understaffed is a management issue. But making customers do part of the server's job is unacceptable. We were paying customers, not members of the waitstaff. Funny thing is, we still need to pay the 20% tips...how wonderful. The food deserves credit, but the service completely overshadowed the meal. I hope management takes a serious look at its staffing and service standards, because no customer should have this kind of experience. read more

Came here for dim sum with my parents during a trip to visit them. My dad recommended the restaurant and I think we had been there when it was under different management. We came at the perfect time because when we left there was a waiting list. The restaurant is large and I feel like they could have fit more tables to fit more people but otherwise there are large tv screens along the wall and the restaurant is nicely decorated. The dim sum was very tasty and good. The coconut bun was perfect- soft and chewy and moist. A lot of places get this dish wrong with dried out buns but Longo did my favorite dish right! The shrimp dumplings and siu mai were a good size. Service wasn't particularly attentive but that's par for the course with a Chinese restaurant. We had to get their attention to take our order sheet and pay the bill. The worst part was when we tried to order a few dishes for take out- the server got the order wrong, and it took FOREVER for it to be ready. The server should have gotten management involved sooner bc my parents were getting pretty impatient as it was taking a very long time to come out. The manager offered to exchange one dish because it would take a while for one dish to be fried. We took that offer so we could get on with our day. Otherwise, food was very good but they need to work on their service to be the whole package. read more

Great place to go for dim sum. Came on a Sunday and wait was for about 20 minutes. Food was delicious and came out pretty fast once order is placed in. Staff was nice and big parking lot in the back. Har gow (shrimp dumpling), pork shumai, salted egg yolk bun, turnip cake, beef balls were all really good. The beef chow fun was big portion and tasted good.

If I could give Negative stars, I would. We arrived and NOBODY was dining there. Even the Host was sitting in a chair, slouched over sleeping. I tried to take a pic, but then he woke up. (Short chubby guy w/ glasses) We sat at a table and looked over their menu. Eventually, more people arrived to dine for dinner. But then, nobody came to see if we were ready to order. Had to call the Host/Server over. We ordered Soup and 4 dishes for two people. Obviously, too much food, but we like variety. The soy sauce chicken was recommended, but wasn't very appetizing looking not tasted good. The soup was bland. We ordered duck and did not have an opportunity to eat it cuz we tried to eat the chicken and the lobster w/ noodles. My son's favorite dish is sweet & sour pork but they didn't have it here, but they did have sweet & sour ribs. I didn't eat any. Anyways, we ask for the check and for our leftovers to be boxed. Literally, another 15-20 minutes had passed I went to use the ladies room and on my way back to our table, there looked to be a plate of roast duck. Untouched. Eventually the server came back with a bag of our boxed up leftovers. There were 4 boxes plus a soup container, so okay I guess we have all of our leftovers...until, my son got home from work the next day and prepared to eat the leftovers. Shocked to see the there was duck bones only like the neck bone, back etc... but no pieces with breast meat and no drumstick or wing drummette. Where's our food?! I called the restaurant and originally the guy who answered the phone, not only refused to give me their name denied not giving us out leftovers, but said fine - come in and they'll give us a replacement for the roast duck. My son goes the next day and they declined to give him anything and humiliated him for even suggesting a replacement. The manager also refused and asked who authorized it- again, no one would give me their name when I called. My son left disappointed. I call again the next day and spoke to the manager and a staff person. They all claim that the cameras would show that food was being boxed. Really? How do I know that's my food being boxed and not another tables food. Does the camera zoom in? Either way, both the manager and staff were extremely rude, refused to apologize for any confusion, misunderstanding or anything whatsoever. Instead, yelled at me for accusing them of not packing my foot. I know if I got my full order of duck vs a bunch of bones. And the food and service wasn't even very good!! Don't go! From what I heard from an inside source, many times the chef isn't working and the wait staff does the cooking to fill in. read more

Yum! This places's dim sum is legit!! They seemed promising when i scoped out their smaller side shop for togo orders on the left of the restaurant. When my acupuncture office next door confirmed, "they're pretty good!", i decided to give em a try: chicken feet, spare ribs, 2 deep fried meat dumplings, and a sesame ball all for $13.77 including tax! The lady, considering the place, was actually pretty friendly, enthusiastic, and patient with all my questions. And even togo, all the fried items were still super crispy, chewy, crunchy, and flavorful. Definitely going back to check out what other goodies they have. read more

Really disappointed with this place. Food B- and service: D Came here with my elder parents and ordered a few classic dimsum dishes. The longo shuamai was mostly fat and chewy. Tripe was alright but not flavorful. The lotus sticky rice was mushy and had three meat pieces the size of my finger tip. Overall the biggest disappointment was their service..they had forgot our spare rib dish and we told them to cancel it and let us just pay what we ate. The guy berated us saying that's not how they do things and even if we were done eating they have to bring it out. So we sat there and they brought out the dish. It was cold... At this point, my parents were fed up with their attitude and we paid and left. Safe to say I will not be going back there. The waiter was nice but the manager was just rude. read more

First and foremost, obvious Health & Safety violations and related Cal Codes for restaurants are hard to ignore. California Retail Food Code (CalCode) § 114173 (and related sections) mandates that all equipment and storage containers be elevated at least six inches off the floor - clearly visible from the dining area. Also, no soap and no hot running water in the restrooms is another violation. Pretty obvious conditions that can be corrected, but I don't see it happening here. Additionally, there's a serious LA County fire code violation in which the rear-most occupancy section of the restaurant has its exit doors blocked and sealed off with a faux wall covering. An "Exit" sign is lit above those blocked doors, but it is not an obvious exit way as material is the same as the adjoining wall. A fire at midpoint to this portion of the restaurant will effectively block escape for at least 20-30 people that could potentially be trapped here. Other than that, I should mention the Honey Walnut prawns plate and spicy green bean plate are both pretty darn tasty. Okay, maybe I'll change this to 2-stars. read more
