    Wanted fresh live lobster and this place had the best price per lb. To give you an idea, Kings Fish House was $67/lb, the other Capital Seafood at Irvine Spectrum was $45/lb, and this place was like $28.99/lb. So we made the drive to Garden Grove. What stood out to me over the Capital Seafood in Irvine was the much friendlier service and the 90s R&B music in the background which was cool. Got the Lobster with house special sauce, Roasted duck with steam buns ($50), and Sautéed Pea sprouts veggies. * The lobster was definitely the star but just know the sauce is very buttery so may try a lighter sauce next time. Also still needed to crack some pieces so hands got really dirty (4/5) . * The duck was unfortunately too dry and tough and skin not so crispy so I will prob skip next time. But portion was good. (3/5) * The peasprout veggies were good and had a nice crunch but needed a little more salt. (4/5) Hot Tea was smooth, seating comfy. Only thing it was freezing cold and they should prob drop the AC a few degrees. The white girl server was super nice and always checked on us. Overall good experience and will be back.

    Walked in and were greeted. Place is clean. We got sat right away. It was a Sunday so good amount of people were dining but not packed. As soon as we were sat menus were given and a tea pot was brought out. Tea was fresh and soothing. We ordered Mongolian beef, kung pao squid and lobster fried noodles. Everything was made fresh to order. Great place to take Family to dine .

    Crispy Fried Tofu

    We were looking for a Chinese restaurant in Garden Grove yesterday and had seen all the recent reviews for Capital Seafood. Since there were only two of us there we knew we'd be bringing home a lot of food. We ordered salt and pepper shrimp, a beef dish, deep fried tofu and some stir fried green beans with pork. All the dishes were delicious and cooked well. Service was great as we had come before the restaurant was busy at 5pm. The restaurant itself seemed clean and was setup to handle large groups of. It was a bit dated and could use a refresher. Unfortunately the bathroom was not very clean and they need to work on that.

    House special squid

    I've been going to Capital Seafood with my friends and family for a very long time, and after a very long hiatus, I finally got to try it again with my brother. The dishes were cooked to perfection, and if you're having that house special type of feeling alongside some really great and fresh seafood, I highly recommend the Capital Seafood restaurant, as now the son is a current owner and executive chef. Really great for the dishes overall around. I highly recommend the house special fish and the house special squid. Adding on to this, we also got an order of clams and, of course, the salt and pepper shrimp. All really delicious and it really hit the spot. 10 out of 10 would recommend, especially for a family night out or just a nice fun night with friends as well too. Service was quick and easy, and they really upped the decor in this place!

    I've been going here since I was less than ten years old and the food still tastes just as good. We got the sweet and sour fried filet fish, canh chua (hot sweet, sour, and spicy cat fish soup), stir fried spinach, and kung pao chicken. Before this visit, I haven't been back for about 8 years! I drove past and saw they remodeled so I was curious if the food still tasted the same and it is just as good as I remembered. This place will always be my go to for family style dinner!

    Came back to try this restaurant after the remodel. This was our go to place way back in the day for family gatherings. It was nice to go back to try everything. It was fantastic!!! All of our dishes were great! Perfect portions, food came out hot and steamy. Service was great! It's how I remember everything except the decor and ambience was remodeled for the better.

    Came here on a Sunday. Party of two seated immediately. Service was quick! Venue is good for groups. This place reminds me of good authentic Chinese cuisine. We ordered the house special lobster, beef luc loc, and pan fried noodles. The lobster is based on market price. It was $32 per pound when we went. Smallest lobster was 3.5 lbs. They actually brought the live lobster out to show us before it was cooked! Poor guy didn't stand a chance! (Sorry don't mean to offend anyone). The lobster was fresh but a bit on the Spicy side. So if you can take the heat! This was a win win! My favorite was the beef cubes - dipped in salt pepper and lemon - sooo good over white rice. Trust. My hums and loved the pan fried noodles... crispy and fluffy. Just like me. Overall good experience. If you're ever in Westminster and craving Chinese food - they won't disappoint!!

    Came on a Sunday evening. Parking was easy and my party of 10 got seated immediately. Service was great quick, kind, and fast. It took me many years of coming here to finally perfect my order that everyone loved no notes. - House specials shrimp add garlic noodles 5/5 MUST if you get anything order this the shrimps are huge and this dish is so much better than lobster bc you don't have to pry it out of the shell - Honey walnut shrimp 4/5 could use more flavor I dip it in sate and soy sauce - House special fresh squid 5/5 my favorite crispy salty flavorful (you can also get noodles under this) - Fresh squid with salt and pepper 4/5 could be more flavorful but just as for more salt pepper and lemon on the side to dip it in - Pan fried whole fish I don't eat fish but ordered for the family if you like fish get it as it's always a first to be finished - Kung pao chicken 5/5 always a must so tender and flavorful - Sautéed peasprouts 5/5 needed veggies - Sateed ong choy 5/5 daily veggie intake needed and done - Pot of white rice 4/5 rice is rice it is needed for all this salty food Everyone left happy and fully highly recommend my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area.

    40. Teo Chew Seafood Hot Pot
    Stefani S.

    First time here and the food is so comforting. I order teo chew seafood clay pot, sautéed Ong choy, house special pork chop, and fish with black bean. Everything that we order is very authentic and delicious. The ingredients that are using is very fresh and very flavorful. The hot jasmine tea has smooth taste and little bit of bitterness. Balance out the heavy meal. The service is fast and the waitress is very nice and attentive. The restaurant is clean but I can smell the cleaning chemicals around the dining area. Overall it's a good experience and definitely will be back!!

    When paying the bill they give an orange as courtesy.

    Hours: Mon, Wed-Sun: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM Tuesday: Closed Came here around lunch Lunch dishes are 14$ a plate. I was craving salt and pepper pork chops hence the name "salt and pepper," but it was more SALT than anything. Overly fried and excessively salty too much fish sauce. We ordered mang cua soup but were initially brought a different soup, which was later clarified. The house special chicken and basil clams stood out as the better dishes with more balanced flavor. Although there were small hiccups. The waitstaff were attentive and responsive to our requests. Our plates and a teacups was dirty, which was gross . Coffee was average, mediocre at best, dragonfruit lemonade was not too sweet so a plus for that. Overall, an average experience with a few highlights, but some inconsistencies in seasoning, order accuracy, and cleanliness. ‍

    House special fish fillet

    My husband and I went here for my birthday dinner date because I specifically wanted to eat lobster with garlic noodles for dinner. I'm so glad we ended up going here because it did not disappoint! Super friendly service, incredibly delicious food, and whoever was controlling the playlist should get a raise because it was the BEST of vibes. Can you think of anything better than eating lobster while listening to SZA?! We did not expect that at all. All in all, we had a great time and would definitely be going back again with the rest of the family! Food we had: -House special Lobster w/garlic noodles (5/5) An employee brings out the lobster to your table before cooking it. Definitely worth the value and the added garlic noodles complimented the dish -Fried tofu (5/5) Large generous portions -House special fish fillet (5/5) Sooooo so tasty and addicting! It was still crispy even though there was a slight coating of sauce

    You know what they say, if the service is bad, the food is going to be good haha! And yes some of the servers were a tad rude here and there but we came for the lunch specials. Service wise, to reiterate yes they were a little rude but got our order correct. It takes them a while to get water like what some other review said and you can see some of the servers bickering and getting mad at each other too but whatever. The main point is the food and is why we initially came here. Our go to spot seafood port closed down and we've been trying to find a nearer spot to replace that. And so far it got the approval of my dad because he's the Chinese food connoisseur and he said compared to other Chinese spots, it's sweeter and has a lighter flavor and made him question if they even use MSG. But let's say the lunch special portions are worth it! And we will be back for it. Aside from that. I also judge places based off their bathrooms and it was pretty clean but I did notice that the soap dispenser was broken... and I wasn't going to dip my hands in that soap. So brings me to question them, are they washing their hands after use? Food 5/5 Service 3.5/5 Bathroom 2.5/5

    Canh chua

    Solid Chinese/Viet restaurant, complete with glass turntables and hot jasmine tea! I like this place a lot, I think it's homely and nostalgic. The servers are kind and very hardworking. Flavors are big and garlicky! But big flavors also come with a lot of sodium, so you'll be knocked out for the rest of the day lol. But it's worth it if you're willing to take the plunge :)

Ambiance is spectacular - interior is absolutely beautiful and they have amazing attention to details. Restrooms were very clean and nice too. Location is perfect - on Brookhurst in a great Vietnamese plaza off McFadden with tons of other great businesses around as well. Came here on Sunday of Labor Day weekend for dinner with a friend. We conveniently arrived around 430pm, and they surprisingly have Happy Hour on weekends as well. We ordered the Deep-fried salmon bellies, Oxtail tacos, Garlic noodles, Oysters, and later Whole Mussels Skillet all from their Happy Hour menu. We were pretty excited since they looked like really good deals. Salmon bellies, oxtail tacos, and Whole Mussels Skillet were all good. Garlic noodles - bland, needs more seasoning and greens with them such as cilantro and green onions, more cheese - something. Service - a young boy and girl, Mason and another girl helping us were very sweet. And to what made you guys lose 3 stars - "Oyster (Oyster minimum order is 1 dozen) $2" My friend and I thought this was some Happy Hour only special promo, so cool. I asked and they're just raw oysters - honestly they weren't that good, should've been cooked and seasoned in some way. Basically they didn't have to try much for these, besides ensuring they're clean and safe for consumption, but I thought it was a good deal so worth a shot trying. Then I got the bill and was like WTF? And the worse part was the lady's attitude about it, saying how it's common sense (ie you're stupid for not understanding). The obvious right way to write that is "Platter of a Dozen Oysters $24 and $2 for each additional oyster", not "Oyster (minimum a dozen) $2" - WTF, and she acted like I'm the first to call her out on that. Said she can't do anything, it's obvious, but sure she can tell someone to make a note to update the menu and seemed to roll her eyes. Mason, the young server was nice and understanding, but I couldn't stand the basic Vietnamese woman with HEAVY makeup working at the front. My friend I had dinner with found her extremely rude too. Would I come back? Not likely anymore. Would I recommend them? If you're willing to pay for nice ambiance, decent food, but GOD-AWFUL SERVICE, then be my guest. As a Vietnamese person myself, I'm ashamed of people like these for perpetuating the cheapskate Vietnamese stereotype.

If I can't chew it under 1-2 minutes, I'm not going to continue. lol I can basically have their baked catfish all week. The dish is so comforting and light. Definitely a no-guilt type of meal. The fish has a nice crisp on the outside and so tender on the inside. I like to load my spring roll up with a lot of the fish. :) I would say the medium sized fish can feed up to 3-4 people. My friends and I were only able to make a dent on a quarter of the fish and had to bring the rest home. If you haven't tried the plum soda, definitely recommend. So good!

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.

Between the fresh ingredients, flavorful broths, and great service, this is definitely a place I'll be returning to.

    Folks always talk about how there are certain types of restaurants they avoid. Mostly it's because…read more they don't like the taste of the cuisine. Or maybe they like the cuisine, but for health reasons they've been told to avoid eating it. I know for me I just haven't come around to a lot of Asian cuisines that are focused on high vegetable and low protein content. But to this day Toby and I have never shared a seafood boil together. She has a germaphobe reaction to eating food with her hands and there's no easy way to knife-and-fork stuff like shrimp, crawfish, crab, or lobster. She's offered to get something else like fish n' chips or a plain steak or something, while I get myself a boil. However, one of the joys of boils is digging into a mound of Cajun-flavored seafood together as a group effort. A wondrous temple to the art like Roux Seafood Kitchen would be wasted on her. I couldn't get enough of their shrimp and crawfish. They were both plump, flavorful, and disassembled easy in my hands. At a lb. each, I was more than stuffed at meal's end. I think the only thing that could've made it better is if I had ordered a lobster tail in there. That would've been my ideal order. The service was great here for my party. The drinks were refilled quickly, the food was brought out in an efficient manner, and even the order taking was controlled in what kind of have been haphazard conditions. I liked the ambiance too. The dining room was a spacious and accommodating. The music was low. And the crowds were busy but not super full, which is where I like it. Nobody was on top of each other at neighboring tables and the noise level wasn't drowning. All in all, I think this is the perfect example of a seafood boil joint. The only thing that could've made it better is if my oldest eating buddy (and ex) could've miraculously gotten over her condition and joined me. That's the dream.

    This festive News Orieans-inspired resto with Asian flair in Huntington Beach did not disappoint!…read moreIt's a few miles away from the beach, but it is on busy Beach Blvd! We just ordered two staples: Jambalaya & Shrimp Etoufee. Entrees came out in about 20 minutes hot, fresh & amply sized. They're reasonably priced, too! I'm glad we didn't order any apps b/c the entrees were more than enough food. Thought about getting the beignets, but I could not find any more room to fit them in! I had a glass of KJ Chardonnay to accompany the meal and it was pleasant. Service was very friendly and helpful from both servers working today. 5% discount if you use cash! Plenty of parking in the lot. Peace.
