This place is a takeout window on the side of a grocery store. I ordered the chicken and chive…read moredumplings, braised bean curd, and char siu bao. At first, I thought the prices were reasonable, but after trying the food, the quality just wasn't there. The char siu bao had very little pork, and what was there tasted and looked old. I threw away two of the three. It's hard to mess up char siu bao, but these just weren't good. I usually love braised bean curd, but I only ate one piece and threw away the other two. The filling was different from what I'm used to, and the whole dish was an oily without the sauce I usually expect. The chicken and chive dumplings were the only highlight. They were large and tasty, although they didn't seem pan-fried--or, if they were, they weren't cooked long enough to get much of a crust. I might order those again in a pinch, but I wouldn't get the other dishes again. Overall, I'm unlikely to return.

I love dim sum, but the places closer to home are so mediocre in quality, so we decided to try out…read moreSFC2 since we were going to be in the area. To cut a long story short, the dim sum here is overall quite solid. Other than the leek dumplings coming out very luke warm, the Turnip Cake with egg, Steamed Shrimp Balls, Shrimp Noodle Rolls, Fried Taro Balls, Chinese Broccoli with oyster sauce, Pickled Cucumber, Soy Sauce Chow Mein, and Bed Chow Fun all came out very hot, fresh, and delicious! And, to finish off, we treated ourselves to some very good, hot and fresh out of the oven, egg tarts... with a nice flaky shell and smooth and silky egg custard filling, baked perfectly....yummee! And, not forgetting what I thought truly set this dim sum restaurant apart from all the others I've been to is the service.....everyone was so nice, friendly, and very attentive!.....of course, we showed up rather early and it wasn't very crowded yet. But then, we even had a nice older lady (whom I am assuming could have been the manager or owner) come to our table, and with a smile, asked us how everything was and whether we needed anything else.....Wow! I have never seen or experienced this kind of great customer care and service at any other dim sum restaurant anywhere! Glad to have finally found another great spot for some very good dim sum with great service!

This is my go- to spot for the Yang Chow fried rice. It has shrimp, sausage, egg, and peas. All the…read moreingredients are fresh with great flavor and perfect seasonings. I also like the house special tofu. They used to put a generous serving of the savory sauce but now they barely put any. Still, it has great flavor with jalapenos and green onions. The porridge with ground pork also used to have generous portions of the egg. Now they chop it into tiny bits and there's barely any. I still enjoy it as a type of comforting breakfast item. They also used to provide plenty of condiments like chilli oil for the to go orders. Now you have to pay for those as extras. It is a great place for dim sum. However the weekends get very crowded after 11:30am which is why I always order ahead of time to go. Parking can be a pain and the spaces quickly fill up because there are a lot of other restaurants and a supermarket nearby.

We ordered a pretty good amount for 5 of us and we paid about $70+. Their chili oil has a good kick to it and their dipping sauce is pretty good too. The shrimp and chive we definitely Enjoyed. I wouldn't get the pork dish anymore. The food was pretty standard nothing extremely Wow. I did not like that when we walked in the AC was off haha we had to ask her to turn it on and we were all sweating sitting inside on a hot day. But other than that, not bad!

It's a very nice restaurant and the Cantonese style food is always excellent in every way. Last few weeks coming here with some friends and we ordered some excellent dishes and the taste was as delicious as before. The prices are extremely reasonable. The wor wonton soup that I like with plenty of shrimps and tasty wontons, excellent meal starter. The salt and pepper prawns are crunchy that we could chew the shells. The garlic vegetable is very tasty which everyone like. Kun-pow chicken, stir fried clams, mongolian beef, shredded port in garlic sauce all perfectly seasoned and cooked. The service here is very attentive and pleasant. We had a great meal together and everyone was happy and full, we had some to take home too. This is called the classic Cantonese Restaurant for me, always consistent with quality and tastes. Glad that we came here.

Recently came back here for some dim sum with four other people. It was nice that they sat us in…read morethe corner away from all the noise but flagging down the cart ladies were kind of though and they didn't go around to us as much as we liked. Eventually the owner came over to check on us and we got everything we wanted. Although they had ran out of quite a few items we wanted. We also wanted to order veggies but no one asked. I also asked for more mustard and the lady said okay and went hudini on me. What I did like was their congee, shu mai, spare rib, and fried shrimp paste. The people I came with enjoyed the soup dumplings. The little fried fish were also pretty good. The rest were okay. Everything came out hot which was nice. We also got some drinks and the lady was nice enough to run to the back to get us a new one instead of the ones they had sitting out. The restaurant was very noisy even with us in the corner. You can hear what was happening outside too. Parking was very hard on Labor day and I had to park on the street. That plaza has gotten super busy.

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.

Fish congee - the texture of the fish and rice was so soft. It's seasoned just right. Wonton noodle soup - the noodle was chewy. Wontons were a bit small but overall this dish helped with my appetite.

This used to be called Harbor Garden…read more Food here is still delicious, although a bit oily but that's expected for Szechuan food. Mine and my bf's go to are the dry fried green beans, mapo tofu, Chong Qing Spicy Chicken, and Yang Chow fried rice. These are more than enough for two people and we always have leftovers to take home. The mapo tofu pairs soooo well with the fried rice and my bf loves the chicken. Green beans are flavorful and crispy as well! Hot and sour soup is HUGE. They aren't consistent in making this because some days it's the perfect balance of tangy and spicy flavor, but other times its tooooo sour. The restaurant is very spacious. I love that you can just order via QR (on your phone).

How they are able when inflated costs are everywhere and the national government is taxing/ tariffing imported goods too ? The quality for such a tiny spot is still there. No it's not gourmet nor gourmet prices either. It's just good quality " street food " that is competitive as well as a bargain. Yes. Pricing is up but nothing like the other dim sum spots And tastes will satisfy everyone except the most jaded critics who favor sit down elegance with tablecloth and uniformed service staff. A quiet simple pleasurable variety found in an old Asian Supermarket Might even provide nostalgic thoughts of visits to a "foreign" location of travel. Lol

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.

Subpar. My family…read moreand I stopped by after hearing the place is under new management. We were hoping that the quality and taste of the dim sum dishes had improved, but there didn't seem to be any significant change. We got our usual items like the chicken feet and xiu mai, but there was still that weird aftertaste from the MSG. Another huge red flag was that they don't offer a menu or price display, so you don't really know how much any of the items on the dim sum carts cost until after they stamp your ticket, which is already too late. * Siu Mai: 7/10 - nice size and portion but unusual aftertaste * Chicken Feet: 6/10 - flavor was a bit salty * Shrimp Rice Rolls: 9/10 - tasty and sauce was light * Salt and Pepper Fried Calamari: 10/10 - awesome portion and perfect texture * Tofu Skins: 7/10 - texture was kind of too soggy * Fried Rice Cake: 6/10 - sort of undercooked The service was quite disappointing too, as it was difficult to get any of the workers' attention. We also asked for an order of calamari, but were told to wait as they were cooking more. When they finally had 4 plates ready, they placed them on the cart instead of giving a plate directly to us, so they ran out before the cart even landed on us. It was sort of annoying considering how we asked and basically ordered one beforehand. They're located in a fairly small plaza, but there's a good amount of parking in the back. The interior is very spacious with plenty of tables and seating. The workers weren't very welcoming or friendly either, but that's pretty standard. Not terrible, but I don't know if we'll be coming back anytime soon.
