    Sunday brunch :)
    Sydney H.

    My go-to dim sum spot for years! I've been coming here since I was a kid and it's always so good. The staff is mostly older aunties and uncles and they are always so sweet and helpful. The siu mai, fried tofu, and xa xiu cheung fun are solid every time. If you grab an item off the cart and it's not hot enough, they will always either warm it for you or will order a fresh new one. Best place for a family Sunday brunch, though it can get super crowded at peak times!

    Browsing the area for a dimsum place with no wait times around 1:30PM on a Sunday. I'm glad we ended up here. I've only ever ordered shumai to go from here but it was nice to finally dine in. This restaurant shares the parking lot with a lot of businesses including Stater Bros. Parking can get a little tricky during peak hours. We still caught the tail end of Lunar NY decorations so it was festive in there. Our party if 5 got seated right away. Luckily they serve dimsum (in carts) until 3PM. New dimsum favorite is their pork and shrimp roll - shaped like an eggroll. We got about 12 items and steamed rice for the table. My parents said their shumai is one of the best they've had. Shrimp hargow and other dumplings were good. The fried chicken was delish, especially the bed of pickled veggies underneath. The chicken feet is tender and flavorful. The honey walnut shrimp was great. The custard buns were delicious even the day after. The servers were so nice. So many of them taking turns asking what else we needed. Don't forget to ask for their hot mustard and some red vinegar. Nothing fancy about this place but it's a great bang for your buck. Enjoyed our meal here.

    COCKROACH COCKROACH COCKROACH TLDR: - COCKROACH & FLY -- management did not care - horrible service from management - servers are kind About 20 minutes into eating, we noticed a cockroach submerged in the soy sauce jar. We instantly notified a worker, and she simply switched the soy sauce jar. They completely dismissed the health violation. Please keep in mind, we all used the soy sauce. If one soy sauce jar has a cockroach, the entire batch of soy sauce is contaminated. There's no way a cockroach that big could squeeze into that jar, so it was most likely from the larger batch of soy sauce that was poured into each jar. We later looked back at a picture taken at the beginning of the meal and noticed the cockroach at the top of the bottle. We complained to someone from management, and they brushed off the cockroach issue. We do not know how many people consumed cockroach-infused soy sauce, but the soy sauce was running low by the time we used it. They didn't offer any sort of reimbursement until we continued to explain the severity of the situation. To make matters worse, our water also had a fly in it. At the end of our meal, I asked to speak to the manager because a 10% comp does not nearly make up for everyone in my party consuming cockroach-infused soy sauce. The manager was extremely dismissive and rude. He said my family ordered a lot of food and that he didn't know about the cockroach. That is exactly the issue. We ordered a lot of food before noticing the cockroach and fly. We used a large amount of soy sauce and had to throw out everything on our plates once we found the cockroach. He asked me what I wanted him to do, which again was extremely unprofessional. He said 10% off and walked away. We all lost our appetite, but it was my grandma's birthday, and we wanted to celebrate her. We tried to make the most out of a horrible situation, but the lack of accountability for a serious health concern is something we cannot look past.

    COACKROACHES AND VERMIN INFESTATION WARNING if you decide to eat here, make sure to check the food, soy sauce, and everything. we found a cockroach in our soy sauce bottle after everyone has used it. when we told them, they brushed it off and would not offer any compensation. the service and manager here is terrible. roach aside, the food tasted stale. this place is obviously very unsanitary and the food and service do not help. would not come here again.

    Treated my friend for his birthday on Sunday late morning and we were seated right away. I was craving for the fried calamari but was disappointed with it. They were cut into strips and very chewy. I wouldn't recommend it. Their fried thin noodles were delicious. It had a smoked sesame flavor. The shumai, hargow and egg rolls were ordinary. The Chinese broccoli leaves was overcooked but the stalks were just right. My friend really enjoyed the chicken feet which he said was very tender. He also liked the liver. The sweet white rice cake was a good palate cleanser. We had a total of 8 dishes and the bill amounted to $120 with taxes and tip. There was plenty of leftover. I probably would have opted for an ayce buffet with crab legs for that price.

    Review 84/365 Day Challenge This is my 3rd time coming here w my family & friend family for brunch. Big group on 07.06.25 We were seated within right away. Lots of majority known authentic dim sum were available and more. Service was fast and associates were friendly. Don't get discouraged w them non speaking English with some attendant going around with the dim sum cart. Dim sum is fresh & served hot. The cafe su da aka Vietnamese coffee is legit n good. Highly recommended. They sell live lobsters & crab. They have a big tank visible in dining area to see. It's a Chinese Vietnamese seafood restaurant. Spacious with lots of seatings. Located in the same plaza as Stater bros. Lots of parking available.

    This is our family's go to for dim sum! If it's your birthday we going here! The owner is so nice! The waiters know us. And food is always on point! We even ask for custom foods such as steamed rice roll with bbq pork inside instead of shrimp and they'll make it for you. The place is always busy, the staff is really helpful.

    I came here for a party celebration. The set menu had a mix of different Chinese favorites. The food is on the greasy side, as expected for Chinese food. Flavors were average and service was steady. Plenty of parking. Please come and create your own adventure.

    hairs, stains, and smelly are my biggest take aways from our recent visit. TBH - We only came here because seafood cove 2 had a two hour wait and we were hangry. Parking is ample due to the big lot, but it still gets pretty busy. We were seated immediately upon entering. However, once seated we found hairs on two plates and stain dirty tea cups. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, We asked for new dishware and proceed to order. The chicken feet had an off putting smell and color was really dark. Something seemed off, but we will circle back to this. My parents order the tripe dish and with it came with extra protein.. in the form of strands of hair. At this point - we were done, but food was order so tried to power through with it. A choice we will soon regret. Following this horrible breakfast was runs to the toilet. Mind you my dad has a stomach made of steel. He can and has eaten anything and even he was nauseous and running to the toilet for his life. safe to say, we will never be back. I'll wait hours if it means clean, fresh, good food. Unfortunately, that is not the standard here. note: they did comp the tripe dish due to the hair. a small compensation for the pain that followed.

    Congee with century egg.... Great flavor!

    It's been a good while since we've visited this local favorite for dim sum in Westminster. Seafood Paradise definitely gave the dining room a nice facelift and the place looks much brighter with the light tiles and new lighting. I have to admit, I do miss the burgundy carpeting... it just gave it that classic look. As for the selections, I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have the fried tofu any more and the shiny char-siu bao's didn't seem as moist and airy as before. Overall, it was still a pleasant visit and the dim sum was still quite good.

    Okay wow! I really forgot how good this place was. I wouldn't normally recommend any yumcha/dim sum from Orange County, but the OC has stepped its game up just a tiny, tiny smidge. It was pretty palatable here and the service was particular awesome. A good amount of workers here speak English so that alone is pretty sweet if you don't speak Chinese or Vietnamese too well and that makes you get nervous coming to certain restaurants. I ordered the basics and the siu mai was tasting pretty fresh. Soft, meaty, with big pieces of shrimp inside. My least favorite item was the banh cuon (rice rolls). It was really hot coming out but the texture was really nice.

    I have rated this Chinese restaurant many times and I was never disappointed. This review is only on the food, not the Dim sum part and not on the night club either even though I'll mention it. 1) This restaurant is the only one besides the Furiwa that went out of business, that has fried noodle (chow mein not lo mein) they really fry the noodle, it was crispy and flavorful, other restaurants really cut corners and put some seafood cooked in brown sauce thrown over noodles that were from a can out of a factory, an absolute joke. I had combination chow mein cooked to perfection w shirimp, chicken and beef. 2) Their fried chicken wings were so delicious, you can order w salt and pepper, ginger or butter, I chose butter which is the same special sauce on lobster, it was saucy, finger licking good, enjoy this w rice, a perfect meal, a very generous portion. 3) I had on other occasion Peking pork chops, delicious too 4) Their lobster is always about $1 cheaper per lb than Capital seafood across the street. The Dim sum was a disaster but I'm willing to give them another chance to see if I can raise it to 4 stars. They also have a nice stage but no Big HD screen for projection of slide show. Week ends they have a live band, it becomes a night club and most Vietnamese love dancing, not us, we both have 2 left feet! LOL! In the old days, this was the 1st Chinese restaurant in Little Saigon, there usually was a 40 minutes wait for a table. I recommend my sister to have her next bash here, it's a very relaxing atmosphere, nice ambiance, nice live band playing French oldies that the VN love, what else can she ask for but if she prefers lunch there won't be a band, that's not saying she can't pay for one to entertain the guests, she can afford it. So this restaurant w Chinese Chefs from VN is 4.5 stars, it's quite authentic Chinese food w flambé cooking, underrated but highly recommended.

    Very decent quality dimsum place. I like their pork ribs, fried turnip cake and dumplings. They fry the turnip on the spot for you so it can't get more fresh than that.

    One of the best dim sum spots in Orange County. I feel like OC is somewhat lacking when it comes…read moreto great dim sum, but Seafood Cove has consistently delivered for the last decade, and longer. This review is specifically for takeout, but honestly, even the takeout holds up on its own. The shu mai are thick, juicy, and packed with larger pieces of pork and shrimp, which I love. You actually get some texture and substantial bites of meat and seafood rather than the overly processed filling you sometimes find elsewhere. The spare ribs are another favourite. They're tender, flavourful, and perfectly seasoned without being overly salty or heavy. And I have to mention the satay. I'm not sure if they make it in-house or use a specific brand, but whatever they're doing, it's one of the best satays I've had and better than pretty much any store-bought brand I've tried and better than a lot of what I've had at other restaurants.

When we arrived there was a moderate amount of people waiting but wait wasn't as long as I thought it would be! We waited about 15 min for a party of 6 at 10 am on a Sunday. The inside was banquet style restaurant with a lot of seating and tables, so it makes sense that the wait wasn't terribly long. The service is friendly, a lot of younger staff. Most of the dim sum is ordered from the menu, only the steamed noodles are ordered from the cart. I do miss the cart and being able to see and choose what we wanted. The food came out very fast and was very fresh! Everything tasted amazing. I loved the turnip cake, football, shui mai, and chicken feet the most! But it was all delicious. It definitely hit the dim sum cravings.

    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.

    There are SO many dim sum places in OC to choose from but I heard this place changed…read moreownership/name(?) and I wanted to try it out so I took my mom here. There wasn't anyone eating there when we went on a weekday morning so service was super quick! It's a huge space though so I'm sure it gets more rowdy on the weekends. We tried the classic dim sum dishes. The shumai was a bit dry for me but was still overall pretty good. The rice rolls with shrimp had a very good sauce and it was super addicting! The only one that disappointed us were the soup dumplings, which fell apart because they stuck to the bottom. Also there just wasn't very much soup in them to begin with. Both of our favs were the baby ribs, which were so soft and flavorful. The fried shrimp balls were also good and were made to order so they were super crispy and fresh! I really liked the chili oil here because it actually had a kick. For dessert, we ended off with their egg tarts that were crispy, sweet, and delicious!! I'd definitely come back because this is a lot better experience compared to waiting hours for some of the places in OC.

    So the service here is still pretty atrocious in my opinion. So I don't really come in anymore…read more Maybe it's because I grew up with it and I'm in love with their dim sum. But their food is still great most of the time. I now just get to go and eat at home or eat somewhere else so I don't have to deal with their service. I like the new update and the modern look of the restaurant but I feel that it's taking away. It's warmth. It feels a little more clinic-y if that makes sense. I'll probably update again if anything changes or if a family member is dying to go here. I just get really upset thinking about how I have two aunts in my last example that we've gone ands server. Who's been there for ages treats you different based on I guess your tipping and to me that's a put off. He is also very crass, and his jokes are kind of gross. The owner does try and go around. But the last time I've gone, she kinda just sat there. My last experience while in the restaurant was that there were maybe four or five tables of people about 2 to 4 in each table. And this was after dim sum time so there are no carts going around. And even though their staff was pretty full service was so slow. The food was kind of extra greasy and it gave a lot of us. Bad stomach aches. I still debate how bad I want dim sum when I have to go here. But at least their dim sum is still great! I really hope that the place does turn around because when I drive by I see how empty it's gotten and it makes me sad that my favorite place is not doing as well. Cross fingers!
