Seafood Cove 2 is a great casual spot if you're looking for affordable comfort food, big portions, and lots of variety. The dumplings are huge, generously filled, and really satisfying for the price. The kids loved them, and the all-you-can-eat option makes it a fun experience for families or groups. The quality can be a little inconsistent at times and it's definitely more of a budget-friendly comfort food experience rather than a high-end dim sum restaurant, but overall the food is tasty, filling, and fairly priced. Service was friendly, the staff kept things moving, and there are a ton of different options to try. I jokingly described it as "kind of like a Sizzler for dumplings" -- not as an insult, but because there's a huge variety of food and it has that casual, family-style comfort food vibe. If you go in expecting luxury dining, this probably isn't the place. But if you want good portions, variety, and a relaxed atmosphere, it's definitely worth checking out. read more

Came to Seafood Cove 2 on a Saturday night for a friend's birthday dinner with a group of 9, and it was such a fun experience. We went all out and ordered a ton of dishes including clams in basil, lobster, Peking duck, honey walnut shrimp, and shaken beef. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. Honestly, every dish was a hit with the table. Service was great throughout the night. Our server even brought the lobster out for a quick photo op before it was taken back to be prepared, which made the night feel a little more special. We ended up with around 12 main entrees plus some drinks, and the total was surprisingly affordable for the amount of food we ordered. Definitely a solid spot for group dinners and celebrations. Only downside is parking can be a bit tricky, especially on a busy weekend night, so plan a little extra time for that. Overall, would absolutely come back! read more

Seafood Cove 2 - The dinner spread - Dim Sum Near Me - Westminster, California

Soooo Gooddd!!! Food is always worth the wait here, authentic flavors at a great price! Everything is cooked to perfection and flavors are always so consistent and delicious. Weekends are about a 50min wait while weekdays are less packed, but I can promise you it's worth it. Ambiance is great, servers are always checking in and making sure you have everything you need. Especially Rodolfo!! (or Rudy) he's always on top of everything and very kind, always spotting you if you need anything without having to ask! 10/10 service from him. Tip: always come earlier to get good parking! it does get busy here because of how good the food is! read more

Seafood Cove 2 - Shrimp noodle roll in sweet soy sauce, Lotus Sticky Rice, and Har Gow - Dim Sum Near Me - Westminster, California

So popular but the wait wasn't too bad, it was like a 20 minute wait on a Saturday around 1pm. Once we got seated, you order from a picture menu with the server. I don't remember the last time I came here but I think it used to be carts but this is more efficient. We ordered the usual dim sum items, shrimp rolls, har gow, shu mai, chicken feet, soup dumplings, steam tofu skin roll,and pork ribs. The portion was big and we had left overs. Definitely cheaper here than San Diego. Hit the dim sum spot. read more

This review is mainly for their dim sum :) Dim sum is served everyday from 8:30am-3pm! Service was great during that time and everyone was friendly. It's nice to go on a weekday morning when there is barely anyone there which is what my husband and I did. Their selection is pretty good and everything tastes great but it can definitely add up on the bill. Overall, I think it is one of the better places to grab dim sum :) read more

Seafood Cove 2 - Dimsum - Dim Sum Near Me - Westminster, California

One of my favorite places for dim sum. Only negative is the parking since it's in a high density area across from the landmark Asian Garden mall. We had a large party of 12 but food came out quickly amd wait staff was so pleasant! Everything was delicious and service was top notch, thanks to Iris! Everything we ordered was delicious: Shrimp noodle rice sheet rolls, fried shrimp ball, football, fried taro ball, almond tea soufflé (takes 40 minutes), spongy rice cake, steamed tofu skin roll, siu mai, chicken feet, beef tripe, pork ribs, sticky rice in lotus leaf, fried pork buns, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, braised honeycomb tripe with pork blood, and hot & sour soup. read more

Classic dim sum spot for any local. I went in a group of 4 on a Sunday around 10:15am and the wait was probably 10-15 minutes. The wait definitely got a lot longer closer to 11 though and I saw a lot of people waiting outside when I was leaving. You can join the Yelp waitlist online before getting there but you have to be within a 1 mile radius. Although the wait can get long, I would say the service is pretty efficient and they're quick getting people in and out Also, a good amount of items are ordered with the servers, but some items have to be ordered from the people pushing the carts around Siu mai: 5/5 this is always one of my favs and the pieces here were juicy and decently sized Har gow: 4/5 I like this dish but it wasn't anything crazy Soup dumplings: 4/5 I wish there was more soup and the dumpling wrapper was a little thinner but I liked the flavor Chinese broccoli w/ oyster sauce: 4/5 this was alright Shrimp rice noodle: 5/5 this is also one of my fav dim sum dishes read more

Seafood Cove 2 - har gow, siu mai, soup dumplings, chinese broccoli with oyster sauce - Dim Sum Near Me - Westminster, California

Came here on a Sunday at 9am. Location is on the 2nd floor. We used to frequent this place but have not been back for a few years. Mostly because the wait can get crazy if you arrive after 10:30 so we end up going to the Dim Sum company instead. Dragged myself out of bed to fight for myself in that parking lot. When we arrived we had to wait about 10 minutes. There were plenty of tables open but for bigger parties, which is understandable. When we got there we were told most of the items have to be ordered through the server with the exceptions of a few items. The servers were pretty attentive. It wasn't too crowded so they were able to pause a bit longer than they used to. We always joked that you'd have to bring your own water because it would be kind of hard to flag an employee down. But they're always super friendly. Due to a big open seating and the nature of its service, prepare for the hustle & bustle. Just an FYI if you have kids that are sensitive to loud noises & gets overstimulated. Fried seaweed roll: the regular filling (pork & shrimp) wrapped in seaweed and deep fried. My favorite. Fried seaweed gives it great umami. Pickled cucumber : very crunchy with spice Soup dumplings & Har Gow: admittedly, I did not try the soup dumplings but Har Gow was good. Different sauces were offered: sweet & sour, chili crunch, sriracha, & Chinese mustard (mustard must be requested) Leek Dumplings: this one surprised me. I've never had it before but it was very juicy and flavorful Salted Lava Bun: gooey salted egg yolk in the middle. The sweet & salty makes a great pair. The texture of the salted egg is grainy/sandy texture. This is its normal texture. Siu Mai: a staple. Big pieces and super juicy Sticky Rice: sticky and full of flavor. Great place but arrive early or be prepared to wait. We left around 10am and at that time there were 15 people waiting. read more

* Who: friend, partner, & I * What: random lunch * When: Thursday around noon * Why: random day off & craving dim sum * Space/Decor: located on the second floor. Parking could be a pain b/c it's always busy whenever I've gone. The space seems a bit cleaner & updated compared to the last time I went, with plenty of natural light coming from the windows, & an overall large space. * Service: standard. They were quick to seat us, they took our order fairly fast, & the food came out in good time. Not sure if the carts had stopped since the food came directly from the kitchen. They were also out of 1-2 drinks that we wanted. * Food: we got a variety of dishes, all of which were yum. The pricing is fair but can add up depending on how much you order. Everything was pretty much as expected. * Final Thoughts: authentic, semi-hidden dim sum spot that brings quality food without unnecessary frills at a good price. Would recommend & would definitely return. * Final Grade: B+ or 8.5/10 read more

A staple in the Little Saigon community! My go-to spot for dim sum - the service is great & very efficient. A classic looking establishment and even though it's a huge place, it still gets packed for weekend brunches!

Ambiance: A Chinese restaurant that is considered an institution in the area. They follow the classic "rules" of Chinese restaurants, where you just do things right and meet expectations. 100 other places could be close or maybe even better, but they're gonna do it their way. Fish Maw Soup: It's not a palate cleanser, but it's something that warms the stomach for the meal. It's clean, there will be moments when all you eat is egg, and the flavor profile is best described as mute, but there's just enough saltiness to not feel like you're consuming thick water. French Style Beef: Tender cuts of meat, showered with salt and pepper, sauteed in a healthy amount of onions and mushrooms. You get the beefy flavor, the umami of the mushrooms, and the fragrance of the onion. Solid and staple. House special fish fillet and tofu: Here's the dirty secret of these types of Chinese restaurants. House special ______ is just battered with chili that comes with a sweet glaze. If you order more than 1 house special item, be ready for those items to taste the same. They're not gonna mess up whatever they're frying. It's just a question if you like their blend of spices to create the batter. Personally, I am a fan. Salted Egg Shrimp: It's deep fried shimp that allows you to eat it without peeling. Did they nail the salted egg flavor? Not really. Was it good? It's fine. Shrimp Fried Rice: This is probably one of the places where the fried rice didn't live up to expectations. The good news is, you get white rice anyway, so just use that, the food is flavorful enough anyway. Service: Classic Chinese restaurant service. You get what you ask for. Nothing more. Ambiance: Noisy, spacious, and generally active. Just like all the large party Chinese restaurants. read more

We usually go to the Seafood Cove in Westminster off Westminster Blvd across from Stater Bros, but for my mom's birthday she specifically requested dim sum for breakfast and they're known for it so we decided to give this location a try. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. When we first sat down, service was very quick and attentive. Honestly, it was almost so fast that I couldn't even gather my thoughts before someone was coming by to ask what we needed. But once you get the hang of how everything flows and how to order, it actually feels efficient and kind of impressive. It was a slower morning (we went mid morning on a Thursday), so I'm not sure if that's typical during the week, but it felt relaxed and not chaotic. Food wise, we enjoyed most of what we ordered. The standouts for us: * Shrimp noodle rolls * Gyozas * Har Gow * Fried shrimp wontons Everything was flavorful and came out fresh. The only slight letdown especially since we were excited for them was the soup dumplings. They just weren't our favorite. We've definitely had better elsewhere. I also wouldn't order the egg tarts again (and I love egg tarts, so that says a lot). The biggest downside was the bathrooms. I had to take my three year old in there, and I honestly didn't even want him touching anything. It felt dirty, like it hadn't been cleaned from the day before which was disappointing considering we were some of the first customers there that morning. That said, I would still go back. Now that I know what I'd reorder and what I'd skip, I'd love to explore more of the menu next time read more

It was my first time going to this location and it definitely didn't disappoint. The restaurant is upstairs, has a pretty large room with tables that can fit 4-13 people. It's perfect for big parties and they do take reservations. It's located in a strip mall with parking, but hard to find parking on weekends. We ordered from the set menu that was $199 which had 8 dishes and we also ordered beef chow mein, mapo tofu, and a lobster. Everything we ate was delicious especially the squid, seafood birds nest, and the salt and pepper shrimp. The service was great as well! The waiter kept coming to check on us since we had a big party. Overall, I would definitely come here again and try some other dishes. It's comparable to some Chinese restaurants in the SGV. read more

Solid Cantonese food in Westminster. Usually this place has a horrendous wait but we called in advance and made a reservation on Christmas Day. It wasn't super busy or loud. We ordered honey walnut shrimp, sizzling rice soup, fried rice, pea sprouts, and lobster with noodles. Everything was quite good and we had so much food to take home. Our waitress was super sweet and even brought out a lobster in a bucket to show us how big it was before cooking. read more

I really enjoyed seafood cove! Very authentic dim sum. I loved the variety in the menu, there really is something for everyone. The honey walnut shrimp was a highlight, so flavorful, sweet, and crispy. Also the beef chow fun noodles were amazing and extremely flavorful! We also got seated extremely fast and the food comes out within 10 minutes. Highly recommend the pineapple buns as well! Service is ok as they are sooo busy and it's kind of chaotic because everyone's running around, but food is definitely worth it. read more

Ehhh, the hostess was fast to sit us down. But the service sucked. We looked at the menu and waited for 15 mins for someone to come by and even acknowledge us. The food is your typical dim sum with no real dish standing out. It's basic but it's good. I don't think that it has anything that made me feel like wow I can keep eating this. The restaurant is nice and seems to look like every other Asian restaurant out there with the dragon art in gold and red. I wouldn't come back here if I wanted a great place to eat because it's just subpar. read more

Had to look for a new dim sum spot because our favorite one went downhill after new management and we're so glad we gave seafood cove 2 a try! 4.5 out of 5! +they provide waitlist via Yelp app. The only downside with this is that you can't join the waitlist unless you're within 1 mile from the restaurant. We went on Christmas morning so wait list was already at 45 mins to an hour at 9:30am and we ended up getting seated around 10:30am +there's a lot of waiting area since they open up their balcony for those that are waiting for their table +STELLAR service. Very polite workers all around checking in often on our table. When the waiter brought the wrong dessert, he let us keep the incorrect order and comped it while bringing the correct the order. +food was great! Our favorites were: shumai, leek dumpling, shrimp rice noodle, soy sauce chow mein, steamed tofu skin roll, and braised honeycomb tripe with pork blood. +there are couple food carts but for the most part you order your food with the waiter. We enjoyed this since the food comes out hot! -we didn't enjoy the following as much: juicy pork dumpling & sticky rice lotus leaf My mom was originally bummed about her old dim sum spot but she is now happy with our find. Thanks seafood cove for making her day! We'll be back for sure read more

Was in the area and was too early for lunch, so stopped in for dim sum. Pretty much the same as before, with a small selection of dim sum, all pre-made. Pricing was $5.49 for 'A' items; $6.49 for 'B'; $7.49 for 'C'. The menu doesn't make it clear which items are which. They get around this by having the server mark each item on the table's dim sum sheet. Pros: - large dining room with plenty of space so it was a nice casual dining experience - service was good, with accuracy and speed being front and center. - the pickled cucumber was really good, and added needed zing, flavor, and acidity to the meal. - congee and shrimp noodle rolls were OK. - Hot tea service is worth it, costing $1 per person. Cons: - small selection of dim sum in the morning. - the Har Gow was not good. It had been steaming too long, resulting in the skin/wrapper not holding together. The shrimp inside wasn't packed tightly. - pork ribs. very little meat, and some bone pieces were very small, resulting in some painful bites when biting into small bone pieces. Not worth eating. read more

Seafood Cove 2 is a classic dim sum spot, and one of the few places around that I know of that still serves dim sum the traditional way with carts! The prices are pretty standard for dim sum nowadays, with dishes ranging from around $6 - $10. My favorites were the shrimp noodle roll, shu mai, and Chinese broccoli. They also have a surprisingly strong Vietnamese coffee. The interior is a big banquet-like space, and it's a great spot for a family gathering as well. The wait can get very long, I had to wait around 1.5 hours for Saturday lunch. They have a Yelp waitlist that you enter once you get there, and there is a mall across the street that you can visit to kill time. Parking is also very hectic since the plaza also has a supermarket and other stores, so come prepared! read more

This is one of the main Chinese/Vietnamese family-style dinner restaurants in the area (they're also known for their dim sum). The food is never bad, but it's not the best quality I've ever had. The highlights were definitely the duck, salt and pepper tofu, and sautéed pea sprouts and sautéed ong choy. Some of the fried items like sweet and sour fish and the house special fried squid were soggy when they came out which was odd. I would say skip the honey walnut shrimp; it was a bit too much batter and the sauce was egg yolk based. Seafood Cove 2 will not disappoint, but if you're looking for the best quality, I'd say head over to 626 area. The service here is good. Everyone is friendly, and they even gave us some of the free dessert togo because we ordered so much. They even give a free calendar sometimes for Lunar New Year! read more

Dim sum heaven. This restaurant has been here for as long as I can remember. My family and I dine here for occasions. Parking: I hate this parking lot with a passion. It is always busy, and finding a spot is difficult. Good luck! Ambiance/Environment: The restaurant is located on the second floor, so you'll have to take the stairs or elevators. They have a large space with round tables and chairs. Perfect for large groups. It can get extremely busy on the weekends. Often parties and wedding receptions are held here. Service: A host at the podium greeted us. Since there was no wait time, the host escorted us to a table immediately. Service has definitely improved over the years. The servers are more attentive and constantly checked on us. There are carts filled with dim sum in the mornings. The servers go around to each table with the carts and ask if you'd like anything. They stamp your card after if you chose something from the cart. Since we visited on a weekday and it wasn't busy, the carts weren't going around. We just ordered dim sum from the menu. Food & drinks: Remember, dim sum is only served in the mornings while dinner is an ALC menu filled with delicious Chinese food. I love their dim sum items. Everything is steamed, fried, and cooked to perfection. Our favorites are the har gow, siu mai, steamed buns, soup dumplings, chicken feet, shrimp balls, shrimp noodle rolls, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, and sesame balls. Just to name a few lol. These portions are small dishes that can be shared. Our favorites from the dinner menu is the fried rice, honey walnut shrimp, lobster, snow pea, kung pao chicken, and orange chicken. These are large portions shared between everyone at the table. Pricing: I don't say this often, but this is absolutely worth every dollar amount! read more

This is my favorite place for dim sum! They have an extensive menu and you can't go wrong with the price. You get the full dim sum pushcart experience as well. We ordered har gow, fried shrimp balls, pork ribs, siu mai, chinese brocolli with oyster sauce, pineapple buns, and salted egg yolk buns. Har Gow- Nice chewy exterior stuffed with tasty shrimp filling. Pretty light flavorwise. A dim sum classic! Fried Shrimp Balls- Crispy on the outside and fresh and flavorful on the inside. Pairs beautifully with sweet chili sauce. Pork Ribs- Tender and juicy meat with a mild flavor. Quite filling! Siu Mai- Meaty and delicious with a shrimp and pork blend filling. They give you good-sized pieces too! Chinese Brocolli with Oyster Sauce- Fresh and crunchy side dish that makes a food palate cleanser in between the savories. Oyster sauce gives it a sweet and salty contrast. Pineapple Buns- The buns have a crisp exterior. The filling is sweet and custardy. One of my favorite dim sum dishes! Salted Egg Yolk Bun- Soft and chewy dough with a rich custardy filling. It has a nice salty finish. Great experience overall! read more

This place is really yummy. Came here for brunch to eat dim sum and I love how they still have the cart concepts. A lot of them some places I've been to now only do order and place but this one you can actually see the cards go by so that visual effect before you actually make a purchase or buy an item. This place is super packed so honestly coming in big parties will probably require a reservation but other than that the restaurant is super big so the other thing is service was little bit difficult to get someone but the food quality made up for it lol. read more

This is the new Dim sum spot for our family. Though they are many Dim sum location in our city, we found that this restaurant is the closest to the Hawaii style dim sum we love. This is not a secret spot as you will usually have a 30 minute wait even at 9:00 am on the weekends. The best dishes I would order are the shrimp rice noodle, spare ribs, shu mai, and turnip cake. Service is typical for a Chinese restaurant, but they are very generous with their chili sauce, hot mustard and hot sauce that you normally have to ask for and they only bring you one. Prices are very reasonable and service is fast as they will take your order as soon as you are seated. Note: parking lot is small for all of the shops in the center and you may have to drive around for little while to find a space. Be careful as drivers don't seem to look where they are going. read more

Trying to find parking in this parking lot during rush hour is atrocious it will take you 20+ mins to navigate. Luckily you can join the waitlist online and that helped a lot. I came with a party of 6 and waited about 40 mins and barely made it at 2 pm to the dimsum cut off which is 3 pm. We were giving a large spacious table and service was great. There was no more carts being pushed around at this time but I was still able to order from the server and almost everything I wanted was in stock just 2 dishes ran out. Everything I ordered was good and pretty fresh. My favorites were the Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, siu mai, football, beef fun chow and baked pineapple bun. The best drink was the orange slush so refreshing. I don't recommend the egg tart or taro cake with eggs those didn't taste fresh that day. Overall food and service are great and parking and wait times aren't so great but having online check in on Yelp helps and is highly recommended (you need to be within 1 mile of the restaurant). read more

Usually I come to Seafood Cove during the day for dim sum and they are usually okay. On this occasion, I came for dinner and ordered from their dinner menu. Had noodles with bbq pork, house special shrimp, and fish maw and crab soup. Entrees we ordered ranged between $21-$23 Based on their menu, their house special lobster and crab seemed to be their signature dishes; however, we chose to go with their "house special shrimp" because we didn't really want to work through thick crustacean shells. The shrimps were meaty and battered well. Got good flavor from soy sauce, green onion, and jalapeno, but I was looking for a little more of a flavor bomb here. This feeling of "wanting a little bit more" extended to the other items we ordered as well. In our noodle dish, our fried noodles were very dry and the pork was very well-done. In the fish maw and crab soup, the flavors were nice; however, there was grainy texture in the soup. Because the crab in the soup was lump meat, I felt that it was probably small bits of shell? Overall, I think that I would still go here for dim sum, which I'd rate as "OK" (3 stars). For dinner, this is closer to two. Will likely re-rate when I come back for lunch for dim sum on a weekend. read more

This place reminded a bit of the dim sum palaces I used to go to growing up! Large round tables with fabric table clothes and the golden wall decorations. Spacious. One special thing here is that it is on the second floor and has big windows. Even though I was only one person, they let me choose where I wanted to sit. What was different about this place was that menu items include Vietnamese dishes. It is in the Vietnamese district. The service was also better than many dim sum places. I missed the carts going around but was happy not to have to smell the fuel smell often in places with carts. Dining alone in dim sum is no fun unless you are close enough to take home lots of leftovers. Otherwise, you cannot order many different dishes. I got the BBQ beef noodle and the black mushroom siu mai. Both had big pieces and so I filled up on just this. The black mushroom siu mai was delicious and the BBQ pork was good, however, I have had better. They give you a couple of sauces and I noticed instead of tradition hot yellow mustard there was a spicy red sauce - again the Vietnamese influence. The oolong was good and was just a dollar a pot. I remember the days when pots of tea were always free! However, one dollar is a good price. I liked the atmosphere. Parking is tight but I was lucky to get a great space. I definitely recommend this place. read more

This restaurant used to be called Phoenix Garden, it was an amazing Chinese restaurant, I think it was a combination of bad luck and poor marketing, it went under and was bought by Seafood Cove and renamed Seafood Cove2. Since Furiwa went out of business, this was my go to Chinese restaurant, for forever expanding Little Saigon, there are so few Chinese restaurants vs 2 Pho restaurants in every block of Westminster! Their dim sum used to be as good as in Hong Kong, their regular food was 4 stars but I still cannot understand what happened, everything went downhill about 5 years ago. When I was in NYC last year, I found out most of the restaurants I used to love were bought by the Chicoms and communism ruined everything, even in VN, for a communist country their ideology trumped everything, culinary science is not something they cared about, for instance I had Peking duck in Beijing and it was not even edible, tasted ducky and flavorless. The last time I was here a few months ago, I had lobster, it was so tasteless it was a waste of money. We were here on a Friday and it was mobbed, 1 hour wait, are you kidding me, I was not desperate so we took out only the dim sum, it took just 15 mins as most were precooked. Here are the good, the bad and the ugly: 1) Their best dim sum was what they called foot ball, it was succulent, it was a fried ball w ground pork and shrimp inside. Solid 5 stars. 2) The chicken feet was good too, I did not order this today. 3) The taro ball was also delicious. The almost bad ones: 1) Their banh cuon w beef inside, what happened, the meat tasted like sawdust? 2) The Charsiu bao used to be so yummy, it was now so lame je ne sais quoi but still acceptable. 3) Egg tarts are OK. Now the ugly: I ordered the salt and pepper ribs, I should have ordered the salt and peer tofu, the ribs were overcooked and full of garlic? Not salt and pepper?, I wondered if they gave me an old plate sitting around all day and refried, it was not just hard, I THOUGHT I CHEW ON A PIECE OF CONCRETE, had I eaten more than 4 pieces I would crack my tooth again and would need a crown and I'm not joking, out out to the garbage bin. This place went down, they must have hired amateurs maybe migrants, definitely not a Chinese chef. I was in Paris in 2023 and was disgusted, I went to my favorite resto in Montmartre, paid a fortune and could not eat much, the cook was a migrant, the bartender a dude from Congo, they did not speak French or English, I'm never going back to Paris to eat African food! I'm going back to New York this summer, I'll tell you if the Chinese food in Chinatown is still good, I pray they do not hire cheap help. It's really sad, KEI concept after building an empire of13 restaurants, they announced a Chinese restaurant soon, it's great news! the problem is even if all their restos are good, they think it's a genius idea to make IT FUSION THIS FUSION THAT, DUDE PL bring a real Chinese restaurant, no need to reinvent the wheel,we desperately need one here! LOL! The service is always amazing, the owner/manager came to ask all the time what we needed but unfortunately you cannot eat service, I rather have bad service but good food! I gave up! Not going back here any time soon. read more

So good!! So good!! So good!! Parking was a worst but I went to this place TWICE TWICE TWICE. Since writing this review I have gone here 2x!!! It was good food and friendly service. The price point was a nice touch. Definitely family friendly and can get loud but vibes. 10/10 would come back!! read more
