We used to live in HK before we moved to the USA to reunited with my whole families for good. To be very honest...their foods are AWESOME!!! Exactly almost 99% taste like the foods in HK local places. I have been missing those foods for years!! Besides...my only sister (older sister) used to eat Chinese food with me in some Asian places/restaurant and she loved HK style foods! My only sister passed away 2 years ago from Leukemia (blood Cancer)...my whole world cut into pieces.... I wished my sister still alive so I could have took her to this place, and I'm definitely a 100% sure she would love this place! Every time I come to this place...it reminds me of her ...I wished I'd found this place much earlier. I definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone who is looking for some HK style food or even Seafood Chinese style. The foods there are marvelous!!

I always come back to this place because of the wonderful service, great food with amazing prices…read more I was introduced to Ocean and their menu options are spectacular. I love the variety of Hong Kong style items, the seafood options, noodles, rice and so much more. Enjoyed their egg drop soup, roasted duck noodles and fried rice. I recently brought the family here and they loved the hot and sour soup, flat noodles and fish fillet with Chinese broccoli. While it's not a place I'll come solo, it's a wonderful restaurant for family and friend bonding. The building is old, but it feels nostalgic. Decor and the fish tank remind me of authenticity and pulls me back to a time where I was raised.

There are not many Asian restaurants which sell Singapore Noodles which I loved and grew up on or show on their menu but this one did. Their portions were great more than any other restaurant. Their fried rice and egg rolls were good also. A plus for me was they were down the street from my home so very convenient. I am heart broken that they are closed but for whatever reason I wish them well.

Most customer, looks like lot of local, ordered for to go. A chinese restaurant with very low price and no MSG. They have to compensate with seasoning like the sauces. Soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc. Service was fast considering the guy cooked to order. Nothing on the warmer. Not from scratch but with prepared item and sauces. Taste was okay. Average but good deal for the price. Cheaper than a big fast food chain cost nowadays. A good option for quick cheap chinese meal.

Other than this new concern, I personally find this place a "comfort spot". Not high quality Asian food but the best "B grade" Asian food there is in Arlington. I enjoy the portions, the taste but most importantly, their drinks!! I especially love ordering their Oreo Shake (even better than other boba tea places) and their Strawberry Milk Tea. Service is always spectacular. They are fast and friendly! I've also ordered online before and the food is always hot and ready by the time I arrive there. If you have kids, they will enjoy the arcade connected to the restaurant. Seriously though...the change in fries makes me sad. If I come back, it will be for the drinks.

Each combo comes with a free tea (black/green/milk). The service here is quick and straight to the point. I like this place because it is quick and a great value for decent food. I wouldn't say this is the best food I've ever had but I enjoy it as it brings me back to my college days when they used to have a location near UT Dallas years ago. I deducted a star as the restaurant itself had a chemical smell in the dining area, otherwise I recommend getting it to go and enjoying it at home. Parking here should be fairly easy, there is a parking lot in front of it but be careful not to park in front of the business in front of it. This is located down the street from UT Arlington.

It had been a long time since we've been to ABC Seafood and I'm not so sure why, but this place is definitely back on our radar. Each time we've been here on a weekday, it's been completely empty, which at first made us a bit weary, until the food came. All of the dim sum was made fresh, so each and every item was perfectly crispy and perfectly steamed. On the flip side of that, it can take some time to get your food out, so be prepared to wait a little bit. Wanted to call out the steamed rice rolls in particular, as those tasted freshly made and definitely different from all your "typical" dim sum spots. The roll was perfectly chewy and light. Service was alright each time we went, but again, this was a weekday and the place was essentially empty each time. I'd recommend this spot to anyone looking for a solid dim sum spot in the area.

I would rather choose ABC Seafood or The Pearl over Kowloon if you're in the Arlington area. The restaurant has plenty of tables. Service is quick, almost too quick. I went on a Sunday around 1pm. But the day I went, there was less than 10 tables and the ladies with the carts were eyeing our table every few seconds. This might sound nice but then I got too nervous to look around anymore. I just like to take in my environment while I'm eating. The food quality was sub par. Everything was dry, tough, almost stale. The dim sum was left in the carts longer than most people would like. The taste of each dish was decent though. The texture of each dim sum dish really turned me off so that alone would not have me returning back.

I believed the online hype about the St. Louis-style rice, so I decided to give this place a try…read more It's located in a shopping strip next to a barbershop and a salon. I ordered the St. Louis rice combo with an egg roll, Kung Pao chicken, and chicken wings. Appetizers: The egg roll was okay -- I'd give it a 3/5. The chicken wings were also just okay and a little greasy -- 3/5. Kung Pao Chicken: It was spicy, but very bland overall. I'm used to a darker, richer sauce, but this one was very light and didn't have much flavor -- 1/5. They do give you a generous portion, though. St. Louis-Style Rice: It came out hot and included bean sprouts, which a lot of places don't do anymore, so I appreciated that. The rice was dark, but even with steak, chicken, and shrimp, it still lacked flavor -- 2/5. The prices are good, service is fast, and there's plenty of space if you want to dine in. That said, it's not worth going back for me, but I'm glad I tried it.

As a St. Louis native, I had to try this spot's STL-style fried rice, and it definitely scratched…read morethat itch! It's a charming "hole-in-the-wall" place that reminded me of home, and it was noticeably clean. I'll definitely be back for more. What I Loved First off, the fried rice had that perfect dark hue it's supposed to have, and I was thrilled that peas and carrots were excluded. The portion size was incredibly generous - you get a lot for your money. I also really appreciated that the lady who helped me was upfront about them not having red pepper packets or sweet and sour sauce. Room for Improvement While I enjoyed my meal, there are a few things to note. The STL-style fried rice isn't actually on the main menu; you have to know they make it and ask for it, which seems a bit odd and makes me wonder why they don't advertise it more. And though I appreciated the heads-up about the missing condiments, they really need to stock red pepper packets and sweet and sour sauce. Duck sauce is a decent substitute, but red pepper is a must for this kind of dish. My rice also lacked bean sprouts and green onions, which was a disappointment. I'd recommend skipping their crab rangoon and homemade sweet and sour sauce; neither was very good. Finally, I ordered two large chicken fried rice orders and asked for no eggs in one, but both orders came without eggs, even though only one was marked "no eggs." Overall, it's a promising spot for St. Louis-style fried rice, and I'm looking forward to seeing these minor issues addressed
