Claypot rice w/spareribs Deep fried chicken wings with salted egg French toast with kaya Curry with fried fish balls and cuttlefish Pumpkin with salted egg yolk Steam flower roll with w/beef Just order everything above and thank me later. Claypot rice was perfect with crispy rice and combination of bok choi and spare ribs with a side of dark soy for your preference. Deep fried chicken wings with salted egg yolk had the perfect crunch fried shell with salted egg yolk basted on top. The chicken was super juicy and tender which encapsulated by the fried skin. The kaya toast was super fluffy with a French toast thickness sandwiched with kaya jam in between. The curry with fish ball and cuttlefish combination came with 4 of each and a thick rich curry with a kick of spice that went great with white rice. The pumpkin salted egg yolk had the perfect sweet and savory flavor that made you want to eat more. The steam flower roll w/beef was nothing short of amazing. I have to say this was the best version of steam flower rolls I have ever had. The flower rolls just melted in your mouth with super rich flavor coming from the sauce which was not overpowering the dish. The Hk style milk tea & and coffee was simply amazing with the perfect amount of tea flavor without being overpowered by the coffee and condensed milk. Overall Tam's surpassed my expectations and I cant wait to come back and try more dishes.

Love how this restaurant is decorated. Totally has the HK/Macau feel. Each table has either mahjong…read moretiles or dominoes under the glass surface. The street signs of HK are on the wall. We had the breakfast combos- congee plus two sides. I chose the you tiao (fried donut) and bo lo bao (pineapple bun). My friend got the chow mein instead of the pineapple bun. All of the dishes were yummy! We had enough to bring leftovers home. We arrived at 8:30am on a weekday and had plenty of seats to choose from. At about 10am, the restaurant was packed with people waiting in line to get seated. Strip mall parking.

Terrible service!!! Very disappointing experience with the waiting system and staff…read more We arrived in the morning and were the first people in line at the entrance. However, when the server started handing out numbers, they skipped us and gave a number to the people who arrived after us. We asked why we were skipped, and the server told us that the group behind us had four people while we only had two. The server specifically told us that it was okay because we would still be seated before them. Later, the group of four unexpectedly left. Instead of moving us forward, the restaurant gave their number to another party. That party was originally two people, but they were then allowed to change the number of people in their party and ended up being seated before us. We reminded the same server about what they had told us earlier -- that we would still be seated first. The response was basically, "There's nothing I can do. I only go by the numbers." That was extremely frustrating and confusing. If the restaurant only follows the numbers, then why were we skipped in the first place? And if the staff member told us we would still be seated first, why was that explanation completely ignored later? We were the first ones there and simply expected the waiting system to be fair and consistent. We weren't asking for special treatment -- we just wanted the same rules to apply to everyone. Unfortunately, the way this was handled left us feeling that the waiting system was unfair and that the staff did not take responsibility for what they had told us.

There are private rooms in the back on request if you have a larger party and seafood is always fresh as they have an aquarium with lobsters, crab, geoduck, and fish. The decor is charming with vintage trinkets along the side of the wall. There is a waiting area by the lobby and restrooms in the back of the restaurant.

The 4 of us especially liked the white fish with basil and the shrimp with snow peas. The rice noodles with seafood and the kung pao were also good. That said, we like our food spicier, so we asked for chili oil and limes. Some dishes did have vegetables, but when I go again I'll order a vegetable dish. Service was stellar - personal, but never intrusive. I liked that we were seated immediately and still given time for our late guests to arrive. Food arrived quickly once we ordered. They were gracious about splitting the tab afterwards, but could easily have asked whether we wanted separate checks since we were 3 unrelated sets of adults that arrived separately. So, what could have been better? The chafing spoons were too small and too few, leaving us to pull the chafing plate to the edge of the lazy Susan and scrape. My dinner plate was too small, so I made a bit of a mess while eating. The main room is noisy, even with some empty tables, Next time I'll ask for a table in the quiet section (to the right when coming in the main door.) I've driven past Newport Seafood many times and not gone in because the parking lot was already full, and it's not my style to park elsewhere and walk over. However, on Monday at 5 PM, we found ample parking. All that said, Newport Seafood seemed at its best when serving special meals to large families all around us. I will think of them next time we celebrate a special family occasion.

It has that "hole in the wall" vibe, but the dining area has nice ambience and it wasn't overwhelmingly busy. We ordered the beef and broccoli (with rice) and the chicken chow fun. Both were delicious, flavorful, and came in huge portions -- we even had leftovers. Our total was about $35 before tip, which is amazing for the quality. Highly recommend this spot. It deserves a line out the door, but for now it's our little secret. We'll definitely be back!

I asked for extra vegetables with the kung pao chicken, and they added them without charging extra. Both dishes were really good. On my most recent visit, we dined in and ordered the mixed vegetables, orange chicken, and wonton noodle soup with beef brisket. We've had the wontons before, and they're always good and taste authentic. The beef brisket was tender, the wontons were delicious, and they put plenty of fresh bok choy. It was our first time trying the mixed vegetables and orange chicken. The vegetables were fresh, crisp, and flavorful. The dish also included pieces of Chinese sausage and squid. The orange chicken was sliced very thin, and the batter was extra crispy. We enjoyed it, but it's different from the typical orange chicken you'd find at most Chinese fast food restaurants. The customer service is really good here. At the end of our meal, we were offered a complimentary dessert, which was a sweet soup made with sweet potato and egg. It was good and reminded me of a sweet version of egg drop soup.

Parking 5/5 -Big free parking lot…read more Service 5/5 -We were seated right away and staff was professional, efficient and friendly. Restaurant was not busy at the time, our food came out pretty quickly. At the end of the meal, they offered to help pack our leftover food along with sauce, superior service. Food 5/5 -Deep fried salted pig feet, this is a MUST get. I cannot emphasize enough how well executed this dish was, the pig feet came deboned. Skin was thin, crispy but still had a delicate layer of gelatinous fat under that's so addicting and great pairing with the complimentary pot of white rice. The meat was so tender and flavorful, the seasoning is not overwhelming but tasteful enough that keeps you wanting to go back for more. Great portion for sharing, however you may not want to share and just keep it all for yourself. -Salted fish and garlic chicken fried rice, rice was fragrant with the delicate saltiness from the dry aged salted fish. The dish is a combination of fine bits and pieces of fish, chicken and notable amount of ginger. I'm usually not a fan of ginger but I actually liked it for this dish, brought a comfortable level of sharpness to it. But if you really hate ginger, you might want to avoid as they're really fine pieces and would be impossible to avoid. -Sliced beef with Chinese broccoli, beef was tender and full of the wok flame flavor, vegetables were fresh and crunchy, no notes. Ambiance 5/5 -Restaurant was super quiet, I really liked how calm it was in there. Mostly comfortable booths around the perimeter and tables were all separated by clear dividers. My favorite was the bathroom's decor, it felt like an early 90s metal/futuristic ocean theme.

I've been wanting to try this place for quite a while, and we finally made it there for dinner…read more Someone had recommended coming for lunch, but unfortunately we didn't make it for lunch. Let's start with the lobster. They have about 45 different ways you can have it prepared. We went with the traditional style without the noodles. We just couldn't justify paying another $20 for noodles, and honestly, I don't think we missed much. The lobster had plenty of flavor, but compared with other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried, it wasn't nearly as flavorful as I expected. Considering we paid around $180-$200 for the lobster alone, that was a bit disappointing. We also ordered the Vietnamese-style fish with black pepper. The fish was good, but again, not as good as other Vietnamese restaurants we've been to. We wanted to try the pea shoots, but they told us they were seasonal, so we ordered the garlic string beans instead. They were good and nicely garlicky, but nothing that made me say, "Wow!" The standout for me was the French-style filet mignon. It was cooked almost medium-rare, with lots of onions, and the flavor was really good. That dish came closest to earning five stars for me, although the portion was smaller than I expected. Our total bill was around $380, so for that price, I was expecting something much more exceptional. Service was fine. They changed our plates and took care of the little details, and luckily it wasn't very busy when we went. I've seen pictures of lines out the door, so I honestly don't know if we caught it on an off night or what the hype is about. Was it bad? No. Was it good? Yes. Was it wonderful or better than the other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried? Unfortunately, no. I'm glad we finally tried it because I had been curious for a long time, but would I come back? Most likely not. For all the hype and the price, I was expecting a lot more. I'm giving it 3 stars--good food, but not the amazing experience I was expecting from one of the top-rated lobster spots in the San Gabriel Valley. Parking is good.

Little Kanupe and I started the morning absolutely hangry (one of my baby soldiers) after striking out at another place (we'll leave them unnamed to protect the innocent). One quick Yelp audible later and we landed at HK Dim Sum. Best comeback since B-Rabbit dropped the mic. The first thing you'll notice is the size of the hand cared for master pieces. Run here for a quick FIFA break, but dont think you're ordering "a little something." Every bite delivers. The chow mein was memorable, so memorable with that wok hay kiss on every noodle just right. Smoky, savory, and ridiculously addictive. Every dish hit with that same "one more bite" energy, and somehow everything showed up almost before we finished ordering. No carts, no gimmicks, no unnecessary fanfare, just legit dim sum crazy great flavor. HK Dim Sum earned a rock-solid five stars.
