    The dim sum team was nice and quick with getting food out. The Support staff was super nice compared to most Chinese places. The dim sum tasted pretty good. It was a nice and big restaurant with beautiful decor. I'll definitely be back.

    As much as I have been here before, and as wonderful as a wedding celebration may be, I don't think the loud banging of the lion dance was appreciated by my family. We were in a back corner and couldn't see the show, but I think the shear volume was not appreciated. Both of my parents wear hearing aids and we couldn't carry any sort of conversation. Thankfully the banging of the cymbals wasn't until the later part of our meal. Outside of that, the food was pretty good and of course the service was accommodating for the face my niece and nephew have allergies. So they didn't complain about removing certain ingredients. I would go back for sure, but hopefully not on a night they have a banquet in the next room.

    Good, but pricey dim sum. Went for a Sunday lunch. Went early and was sat immediately. Ordered up a bunch of different items - your typical fare. All very good. The only issue I have were the prices, feel they've gotten a lot more expensive the past couple years. Will I be back? Ya probably when I have out-of-towners looking for dim sum. But will I be back often? That's a different question and I'm not sure.

    Grew up coming here and honestly it's not for the weak. This is peak cantonese dim sum culture, chaotic, loud, carts bustling through, people getting cut in line because they know someone, and if you're a commoner without connections you're looking at an hour+ wait on the weekends. BUT if you can push through the chaos, or come during the weekday, the food is genuinely so good. They do dim sum and banquet style dinners so it's a solid spot for big family celebrations too. The usual suspects for me: har gow, siu mai, rice rolls, sticky rice, pork spare ribs, and stewed tripe They have a dim sum express next door where you can just walk up and grab items to go. Sometimes I call ahead so there's no wait, and a lot less chaos. I love picking it up and enjoying it at the park!

    Keep 'em coming.

    If you're craving an authentic dim sum experience, both in food and atmosphere, this place delivers. The dining room feels like a movie version of dim sum in the best way: high ceilings, chandeliers, big round tables full of families and friends, and carts moving through the room like a well-oiled machine. The servers are efficient, no-nonsense and don't have time for your indecision. So don't hesitate to wave them off if you're on the fence. More stuff will come around soon. And you can't really go wrong with the classics, from har gow to steamed pork buns. Solid spot for dim sum veterans and newbies alike. Also, don't let the line scare you. It moves fast.

    I haven't been to NBC for a long time. This time I was there for a group lunch. We reserved a room, and the dim sum was delicious. Although the price was higher compared to other SGV dim sum places, however, the food quality was totally worth it. Since we were in a room, there was a dedicated server to serve us. The dim sum carts were constantly making their trip to our room.

    This is authentic Cantonese dim sum with the traditional push carts coming around, which honestly makes it super easy for me because I can just see what I like and pick up the food on the spot. I ordered quite a bit to try ,  duck, siu mai, har gow, and a bunch of different dishes. Food was good overall, just not really "wow" for everything. Some dishes were really delicious, while some were just okay.  Price was fair and service was great during our visit. The restaurant does get a bit noisy, but that's pretty typical for dim sum places like this. Parking was a little tricky, but we still managed to find a spot.

    02/28/26 Saturday Arrived at 11 AM right when they opened. Party of 10 with two babies. They were able to provide high chairs. We ordered A LOT so I'll just touch upon some dishes: -Our favorite item was the egg tart but maybe because it came straight out of the oven so it was piping hot. The crust was super flaky, and custard was velvety smooth and not too sweet. We were so tempted to get seconds but we were too full. -The bean curd wrapped with shrimp and pork was on point as well. -The chicken feet didn't really meet expectations. Normally I like it, but I wasn't impressed by this one. -the ham sui gok was good but I feel like it could've used more filling -fried rice had big juicy shrimp but rice was on the saltier side -Inconsistent crystal wrapper textures across all the different crystal skin dumplings. Some mushy, which I don't like. Some chewy, which I do like. The fillings were delicious though. Cart workers are a little pushy when it came to dishes they wanted to get rid of. TIP: Best to get stuff when it's hot and hasn't been sitting in the cart. Can accommodate large groups as it is Chinese banquet style seating with large round rotating tables. Parking is plentiful but it fills up quick surprisingly.

    Old school dim sum with carts and classic choices is a disappearing experience, even in Monterey Park, but NBC still has the carts, servers who speak Cantonese, and huge dining room with easy parking. It was great to go with friends who speak Cantonese because mine is so rusty, I can only understand but not speak these days. I was so hungry I didn't even let my phone eat 1st like the yelped I am, but only remembered to take a photo after we had eaten at least half our plates! Having grown up with NYC and SF dim sum, NBC is one of the few Los Angeles area places that has the selection and flavors of my childhood. Some favorites were the har gow, taro puffs, and tripe. We got the roast duck but it wasn't very meaty or flavorful. We got the congee which was ok, but lacked any definite personality. The chewy fried dumplings were more dough than filling. The siu mai and veggie dumplings were both solid. I didn't try the bitter melon or turnip cakes because I don't like the taste of either, but I was happy to see them available. We got a claypot rice dish with spare ribs and Chinese sausage which was good but the rice was not crispy on the bottom. I saw they had chicken feet, which I usually love but they didn't look appetizing enough to order. Would definitely go back for other dishes and with more people so we could sample more selections.

    For me its just an ordinary chinese dimsum place but the only thing I love about this place is they still carry the cart type of service.

    NBC is a well-known dim sum spot in the 626 and for a good reason. That they still have dim sum carts and are old-school in 2026 when many have substituted for paper menus make for some nostalgic memories. Reservations are definitely welcome, and service is as expected: fast and efficient but passive. The prices are fairly more expensive than you may expect, so make sure to come with a large party to enjoy all the variety! At the time of visit, our party sat in the back corner room, and the staff members were highly disruptive the entire dining experience rearranging the room for other parties. Seating was TIGHT, and I was hit multiple times before being asked to move. In the process, I lost an item close to me there, and the staff members were unable to find it. All in all, while NBC holds a special place in the dim sum list, I likely won't be back because of this poor experience.

    Our family has had many Lunar New Year gatherings here over the years; it's the only time I've dined here. It's a classic, huge Chinese dining emporium with a huge main dining room about 2 accessory dining rooms and a warren of smaller rooms for smaller individual parties. They offer dim sum here daily, using the traditional rolling carts, and it's very popular. This year, we had to have our dinner on a Sunday because Saturday was sold out. And even on this Sunday, the main dining room was hosting a single huge banquet. Note there are restrooms off the main dining room and separate restrooms back towards the individual rooms. Parking here is free and fairly easy. The building and decor have seen better days, but the food remains consistently good. We always order the Peking Duck and their version is pretty good, served with bao buns, crispy skin plus the duck meat and hoisin sauce. We didn't get scallions this time. Other dishes we usually get are: white chicken, French beef, sweet and sour pork, green beans, fish with bok choy, orange chicken, kung pao shrimp, pork belly with jellyfish and seaweed, braised mushrooms with greens, squab with lettuce cups. Dessert is usually red bean soup, but I pass on it. Service is typical Cantonese-speaking, sometimes gruff and grumpy, sometimes friendly, usually attentive. Reliable and consistent. For more glamour, go to Bistro Na's.

    Ask the Community - NBC Seafood Restaurant

    Are they open Labor Day at the normal hours?

    I would assume so, Most chinese restaurant doesn't close for holidays. Not even Lunar New Year, so… 

    Do they have the carts every day?

    Yes, everyday during dim sum lunch hour

    Is dim sum served all day with cart service?

    Cart service from opening through lunch.

    Is the dimsum cart all day?

    No 3pm closes

    Is this a good banquet/party restaurant?

    Yes! It's essentially built for this.

    How much is their dim sum now?

    Back in July. Can't be too far off https://yelp.to/YvZhGhB8ZD

    Is it pet friendly?

    I don't believe so, since they do not have an outdoor space.

    Will you open on Labor Day?

    Yes they are open everyday

    Hello what time is take out dim sum next door open?

    I believe it is 8 am - 5 pm. But around 3 pm the chefs take a break from cooking so they may not make the entrees at that time if you order dishes. But dim sum is available.

    Hi! Does anyone know if NBC Seafood is open on Thanksgiving and Christmas?

    Yes of course they will be open on holidays

    What time is dim sum served until?

    I seldom eat inside the restaurant now but I believe no much later than 3 o4 4 pm. However you can always get dim sum takeout at their takeout storefront next to the restaurant and that is opened until 5 pm.

    So they still have special weekday dinner menu?

    I believe so. My friend always order from the specials when she comes out to LA and visits NBC, her favorite restaurant for dinner. I frequently do takeout from the specials menu which is available all day I guess. But sometimes I am disappointed… 

    How is Parking?

    There is a large, free communal parking lot with some other businesses. The lot was busy for morning dim sum, but we found spots for us and our friends.

    How much does a dim sum meal @NBC cost, per person?

    Estimate about $20-25 per person.

    How much for pork siu mai?

    $7.35

    Dim sum here daily?

    Yes. Every day until 1:30pm and right next door they have a take away all day dim sum.

    Are the dim sum options different on Friday vs Saturday? Last time on a Tuesday they said some options were only available on the weekend.

    Weekends are the busiest days so it's a full kitchen and full restaurant. During the week, they don't get the same busy crowd so they will only make the popular items. Hope that helps even though none of us on Yelp are affiliated with the… 

    Do they serve dim sum all day or just in the morning?

    No, from when they open to about 3:00pm. However, I don't suggest being there around 3pm as the selection will be minimum as they're closing shop for dinner.

    Do they take mastercard?

    Yes

    As of October 25 2022 do they still have cart service and do they take reservations.for 10 for dim sum?

    Yes, they still have dim sum push carts. That's one thing I love about this place and the hardworking ladies pushing them. I am not sure if they take reservations on the phone. For dim sum it is typically "first come, first serve" just like any…

They are located next to the Jade Plaza on Garvey Ave in Monterey Park. I parked in the plaza's parking lot, but I'm not 100% sure if they truly are part of the plaza. They may not be. Please read signages. Limited street parking. Upon entry, the lady behind the counter was attending to another customer. When it was my turn, she took my order quickly. She seemed friendly, but not the most smiliest. They are known for their Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup so I got one of them. I saw Preserved Egg with Shredded Pork Congee so I had to get it, too. Lastly, I noticed another customer with an order of Black Sesame Paste... must get an order of that because I love black sesame. I decided to dine-in instead of take-out. This place isn't huge at all. It's a mom and pop whole in the wall very casual establishment with about 4 tables and some chairs. Definitely not a spot for large parties. Now to the food... Shrimp wonton noodles was quite authentic and deliciously good. Broth was light and clean without the msg flavor. Noodles were crisp and had a bouncy texture to it. WOW, wontons were the best! Good amount of quality pork and shrimp filling that was quite flavorfully seasoned. Loved it! Definitely recommend to all wonton egg noodle connoisseurs! Just one itty bitty gripe, portion was small for the price of almost $12. I felt I only got a few good bites from the bowl. I would still get it again though. I'm a sucker for great eats regardless of price LOL. Congee with tasty shredded pork and slightly salted preserved eggs was warm and savory with a soft silky texture and mild comforting flavor. I haven't had such an authentic congee in such a very long time. This is must get every time! It was worth the almost $10. I should have ordered one to-go... for sure next time. For the black sesame paste, this one was a bit of a disappointment. It was cold and not hot. Liquid was very thin. I'm used to thick black sesame. Taste was horrible. It was like eating expired black sesame grains. Did not like it at all. Will not get again. I almost tossed the whole thing away, but ended up adding some pre-packaged flavorful black sesame paste I had at my home pantry to thicken it. Afterwards, it tasted more decent like black sesame should taste. Will I be back? Yes, I'll be back for the wonton noodles and congee plus to try their other authentic Chinese dishes. They sell frozen wontons and dumplings, too. I will have to buy a bag or two of them next time. Thanks Hong Coffee & Bakery!

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.

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.

I don't recommend their dim sum here. Curiosity killed the cat here. Should have stuck with the dishes they're usually known for which is the rice rolls and Hong Kong style dishes. My partner only eats seafood so I ordered their tofu seafood hot pot, and xo sauce seafood fried rice, these were both good. 4 out of 5.

From the outside it's a hole in the wall, but inside is pretty spacious for larger families to dine. My husband's aunt reserved a few tables for her birthday, so we sat in the corner area. The tea is not fragrant like other restaurants, but it'll do. I like that they give you disposable plastic cups for water too. Soup and rice was complimentary. Thought it was herbal soup, but it was some kind of seaweed soup. I was hungry, so everything tasted good, except for the fried fish (a bit dry). Parking sucks, so you'll have to park across the street.

    They didn't have a lot of stuff here that we wanted to eat. We came on a Thursday night and we…read morewanted to try a bunch of stuff on the menu and we were able to order a lot too because we had 7 people at our table. However, most of the items on the menu were not available.. strange. My aunts friend wanted to take us here specifically for the fried garlic crab. However, personally, I was not a fan because it's just too much work to break down the crab just for a little bit of meat. My favorite that night was probably the fried tofu. They definitely did that very well. We also got a lot of other dishes like the clay pot rice, chicken, clams, seafood crispy noodles, and other foods I can't remember. Overall, just okay for me. I don't think I would necessarily come back.

    We went to SCAL last month and of course we have to stop our all time favorite spot JJ, parking can…read morebe challenging during the day and some nights, their food is always hot the spot for us, my son always like to try something new so he had the baked pork chop over fried rice. My younger son and I are their die hard fans of their jumbo size mix grill platter, it is always wholesome, tasty and irresistible taste that hit the spot, paired with their iced lemon tea made my day!! Service at JJ is decent and they can get very busy during lunch and dinner time. We also ordered and tried their Singerpore style turnip cake, man the flavor profile is so good, the curry flavor with the flavoring dried ingredients combined together for the ah ha moment why this is one of their best seller!! I recommend this place if you love HK style cafe

Inside was spacious and had plenty of seating. Service could use some improvement in terms of friendliness and attentiveness. Lunch special was such a good deal! All the dishes are under $20 and there was a good variety of dishes. It's nice that it's daily 11am-5pm and it comes with either rice or spaghetti and coffee or tea (with one refill!). Got the Grilled Pork Chop & Chicken Steak ($14.25) with mushroom sauce. Love that there are a nice variety of sauces to choose from - black pepper, mushroom, onion, garlic, spicy garlic, or teriyaki! The pork chop and chicken steak were huge and very crispy. It was packed with flavor and not too salty or greasy. The meat was very tender and juicy. I was very impressed with the portion and how delicious it was! The complimentary Iced Tea was very refreshing but slightly too sweet but it was nice that it came with a free refill! Overall, I really enjoyed the food and would definitely recommend and return!
