I visited Capital Seafood with two Asian friends, one of whom is Chinese (mid 60s) and very…read moreexperienced with dim sum. Compared to many traditional dim sum restaurants, this one offers a more intimate dining experience. Instead of servers pushing carts around the dining room, you simply mark your selections on a paper order sheet. Occasionally, someone will still come by with freshly steamed buns or specialty items to see if you'd like any. The restaurant was clean, the service was efficient, and our food arrived quickly. If you're planning to visit on a Saturday, I'd recommend arriving before noon to beat the lunch rush. Also I noticed they had a couple of private rooms on the way to the restroom. One thing that really stood out was the impressive variety of buns and dumplings. There were so many different options that I found myself taking more photos than mental notes! While I'm not enough of a dim sum expert to remember all the names, I've enjoyed dim sum throughout my life, and everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Overall, Capital Seafood is a solid choice if you're looking for quality dim sum in a comfortable, relaxed setting.

I liked the crunchy texture of the bread for the Chinese burger. It's on the spicier side. The braised beef noodle soup and sautéed vegetables were my favorite.

Just stop by and order away. Very nice! Usually Peking Duck requires pre-ordering, because of its unique and lengthy time of preparation. Overall I love the food here.

The restaurant is considered an upscale fine dining establishment and while that is correct; the vibe here is very cozy and comfortable- rather welcoming and not a snobby environment . You can dress up or casual (dress down). Beautiful modern open space dining area and private dining room are available. Kid friendly restaurant is a plus.

You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients, and it doesn't have that heavy MSG aftertaste that many places do. One thing I really like is that the dishes are served in smaller portions. It makes it easy to order a variety of dishes and try different flavors without over-ordering. Even after ordering several dishes, the total bill was still very reasonable and offered excellent value for the quality. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming. I can say that's one of the best service among most Chinese restaurants in LA. Pretty recommended for a decent dining

It's a good idea to order the chrysanthemum tea alongside your meal to help soothe your palate. Since the dishes are served family-style, it's a perfect spot to visit with a small group so you can try a bit of everything. They've transitioned to a website-based ordering system, which makes the process smooth even if you don't speak Chinese. Finding the place can be a little tricky at first, as the entrance is tucked away at the back of the building right by the parking lot. It's a fantastic, authentic find once you know where to look.

The spicy chicken nuggets has the right amount of numbing spice, paired with the crunch of the chicken, and filled with crispy chili pieces. The stinky tofu is fried and pairs perfectly with pungent garlic dipping sauce. The portions are generous and the price is super affordable. Most dishes range from 12.99 -15.99. The duck is around $28 for the whole duck, which is amazing in this economy. It's a small store so seating is limited. I've never personally dined in and always ordered takeout. And the boss lady that runs the front of the house? She is cool, sassy and a multi-tasking queen. You can tell she puts heart and pride into serving the customers and food. When placing the phone order, she will try to make sure that the food is ready when you arrive. And she will always say in mandarin in an almost scolding tone: "hurry up and go home and eat the food. It won't be as good if you wait to long to eat it! " Honestly...the scolding makes the food taste better.

4/5 vegan and vegetarian options are plentiful:…read more Lin's Club is a small family owned restaurant located in that cramped plaza at the intersection of Sixth Street and Duarte near the border of Arcadia and Monrovia. They have many classic Chinese dishes at a truly affordable price point. The food: We ordered four different dishes: green beans (v), stir fried egg plants (v), mapo tofu (v), and chicken with rice. For the first three dishes, we clarified with the owner to make this vegetarian (also vegan), which she was able to do very easily and without question. We communicated with her in Chinese, but she also spoke English to us, when we discovered that our Chinese was likely not as fluent as native speakers. Everything was flavorful, without relying on just an overwhelming amount of salt, and we really enjoyed the green beans that seemed to be cooked in fermented bean paste. I found the eggplants particularly tasty too! The service: This small store had so much business, so we did spend some time waiting before we could actually order our meal. The restaurant itself was filled with folks dining in, and there were multiple parties waiting for take out. Even so, once we did order our meal, it didn't take too long for all four dishes to come out. For these reasons, I can't say service was particularly attentive, but they were still polite and I felt like they did try to make it a good experience for us, even if it was so busy. Everything else: They accept credit card with a small surcharge. Parking exists, but during dinner time on a Friday, expect it to be full and very cramped.

The extensive menu features everything from baked rice and pasta dishes to traditional specialties, with options to satisfy nearly every craving. Service was exactly what you'd expect from a typical Cantonese restaurant--straightforward and no-frills, without much emphasis on attentiveness or warmth. Orders can take a little longer to arrive, particularly during busy hours, so expect a bit of a wait. **Baked Bolognese with Garlic Bread: 5/5** This is, without question, the best baked bolognese I've had from any Hong Kong-style café. Served bubbling hot beneath a generous layer of browned, melted cheese, it developed an irresistible toasted, savory crust that elevated every bite. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly al dente, providing just the right amount of bite, while the rich, hearty Bolognese sauce coated each strand beautifully. Accompanied by crisp, buttery garlic bread and an impressively generous portion, this comforting classic easily stands out as the restaurant's signature dish. Despite its unremarkable service, Arcadia Garden Cafe shines where it matters most--the food. If you're willing to overlook the slower pace, it's easy to see why the restaurant has remained a local staple for so many years.

It was 6 of us and we get seated at the large round table in the middle of the restaurant. The menu is HUGE but me, my sister, and my uncle will usually order the grilled chicken and pork dish. My aunt usually gets a noodle dish such as the beef chow fun this time. My son got a meat sauce pasta with fries. We also got Thai tea which is refillable. My dad unfortunately didn't know what to get but he ultimately decided on the hainan chicken. The waiter confirmed 3 of the same dishes and we confirmed. The food came but mine didn't and it seemed the waiter only put in 2 orders. Therefore, I had to wait but my uncle shared half his pork and chicken with me because it was a lot for him. Good thing they didn't put on my order because i wanted pasta and not rice and my sister and uncle asked for rice, so good thing i got mine after with mushroom sauce (black pepper sauce is surprisingly too spicy for me). I love the mixed vegetables, but sure what makes it good since it's just bland zucchini, peas, green beans, carrots, and corn. But goes so well with the dish. The mash potatoes were also good...I loved everything tbh... My sister and I each got a refill on our drink and I felt a weird aura from the start so u didn't ask for another. We had so much leftover since I ate most of my uncles dish and he barely ate but I'm so happy they still had great portions.

The broth is delicate but packs a mean punch of flavor, no restaurant has come close to a balance as good as this. If you have been to the OG luscious or one one dumpling, this is the exact same. - Pan Fried Pork Dumpling 13.5 The skin is thick and fried to caramelized heaven. I would say if you want a hefty dumpling this is the place. If you remember the original location, the dumplings taste similar but not fried as well. Still one of the best spots around. - Pork XLB 13.5 One of the dishes you just have to get when eating taiwanese beef noodle soup. No notes, a great XLB with thin skin that doesn't break easily! If you have never been here, you have to come. The chili oil is my sister's favorite that she buys a bottle every time we visit. My brother in law has me order take out every time I visit him in the bay, this place is truly that good. Ambiance isn't great but thats not the reason why this place is amazing, the emphasis is on the food. Bathroom rating is 4 stars, decent enough to use.
