    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Christmas Day and every BBQ place was busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My dad wanted to grab the Peking duck but the wait time was too long so he tried the soy sauce braised duck on the suggestion of the store clerk. He should have just waited for the Peking as the tastier option. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Roast duck & crispy pork $11.50

    Owner is welcoming, and generous on his servings Very reasonable prices. Perfect for a grab and go meal. Combo w/ 2 choice of meats $13.00 and includes a tasty soup. Sometimes simple is the best!

    1/1/2025 $10.33 for this roasted pork plate

    Service- ok [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance- can be hectic, order to go only[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food- tastes good like how it should taste and prices are similar to any other establishment of this sort. This time, I ordered the roast pork with one choice of veggies over rice and it was only $10.33 after taxes. That is such a steal! I was surprised by how much meat was on the plate. Cash only

    The food is good, but if you want your food being handled with the same gloved hands that was just sweeping one second before, go here. Guy didn't try to hide it or anything. Was sweeping floors and used same gloved hand to grab a piece of pork and chop it up for us. Disgusting. One of their violations posted here by the health dept was lack of handwashing stations. Yeah, a gloved hand doesn't equate to a clean hand.

    There are so many BBQ restaurants where should you go to? it depends on your situation, most if not everybody I know said Lien Hoa, in Little Saigon, they are the oldest one in Westminster but they are not for me. The taste of the BBQ duck was good but the duck was 100% not cooked long enough, it was chewy, as I said in my other reviews I do not have scissors teeth or even Fred Flinstone teeth!! so FUGGEDABOUDIT, end of story. I have come here since their grand opening, they used to be called DUONG SON located in the same mall 1 block away where my Doctor brother had his medical office so we used to dine there often. They used to have a full Chinese amazing food restaurant attached to the BBQ restaurant. They moved to this location years ago and morphed into NEW DUONG SON restaurant. They no longer have a restaurant but they had a fast food counter selling Chowfun, sauteed green beans, fried dough, etc.. I particularly love the pickles they sold, kim chee, I love their cabbage marinated in vinegar, excellent taste to go w the duck. A customer came to pick up a full roasted pig, heo quay, OMYGAWD, huge pig, it must be for a big party, I was told it was $200, enough to feed a village ! Their duck was always juicy and tender, you wont need to go to a dentist to repair damage from eating WALKING DUCKS! I'm tempted to rate them 5 stars but I was turned off by their constantly jacking up prices, it was $28 not that long ago, it was now $32 on 12-14-2024.

    combos w rice, bbq pork, & duck!!

    Amazing!! On a whim I looked up duck bc I haven't had any in a while. I just moved & don't know where the best spots are yet. I found New Doung Son BBQ on yelp & decided to give it a try & i'm so happy I did!! They run out pretty early & it's cash only!! The roasted duck is sooo good & so is the bbq pork. We gave the roast pork a try as well & it was delicious. My bf loved the peanut sauce (I think it's peanut) that came with our combos. We're becoming regulars for sure!!

    Lots of items to get for lunch
    Helga W.

    Came here for roast pork, duck and char siu, since again Maui no more. It's cash only, and love that they cut the box to allow steak out and not make everything soggy. We purchased by the pound, and noticed the guy behind us got the food with rice, love they provide a quick lunch and will try that next time. Flavor of everything was great as well. will be back.

    Honestly exceeded my expectations, I will be driving 30 mins to visit them often. I came at 10am on a weekday and I was the only customer, the 2 guys worked here were very nice and I had the best and freshest crispy pork! I even enjoyed the complementary soup that came with my food. Definitely a legit place, and thank you for open early at 9am everyday! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It will be perfect for family get together :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Went here for Sunday brunch and this place was already packed to the brim. I highly recommend to…read moreget here early as lines were already out the door at around 10:30. This place has been my go to favorite Dim sum spot in OC since I was a kid. I've noticed many Dim Sum spots in OC just aren't good. No offense lol. There something about the seasoning and portion size that hits. Hargow - big shrimp filled Hargow. Big pieces. The dough is perfectly thin. Shumai- my favorite ! Super big pieces filled with pork and shrimp. A must order Chicken Feet - perfect Tang and chew to start your Dim Sum experience. Good for the collagen! Very flavorful. Shrimp Rice Paper - my favorite over the beef one. The shrimp was nice and big. The sweet soy sauce was perfect match. I wish it was a bit more umami compared to ones I get in NY. Pork and Chive Dumpling - it was okay. Didn't have any opinion. Taro Cake - pretty decent. Nice crisp and super soft and mellow inside. Would get this again!! BBQ Pork Buns - my favorite! Super chunky pork and not overly sweet. Baked to perfection! Beef in steamed rice paper rolls - this was okay. I felt like the beef lacked the flavor versus shrimp.

    Second visit here, and I still enjoy coming to this place. The atmosphere is pleasant, and it's…read moreactually cleaner and more spacious than many other dim sum restaurants I've been to. The service is good. They use a menu ordering system rather than the traditional carts rolling around, and I have to admit I miss the carts. There's something fun about the serendipity of seeing a dish go by, pointing at it, and trying something new. I also enjoy having a wide variety of options available. They did bring around a few plates to offer, which was a nice touch. I do have one major complaint: they list siu mai on the menu, but it really isn't siu mai. Traditional siu mai has a thin wrapper around the filling, while what they serve is essentially a ball of filling. I ordered the shrimp and mushroom version, but it was basically a shrimp ball topped with a shiitake mushroom. The individual dim sum pieces are larger than average, which is nice, but it also makes them easier to prepare and doesn't necessarily justify the very high prices. In fact, I think this may be one of the most expensive dim sum restaurants I've been to. When you're averaging more than $10 for three pieces of dim sum per dish, it becomes too expensive for a regular visit. That said, as an occasional treat, it's still a nice place to come.

My favorite is jajangmyun, the black bean noodles. I love the food, it's a comfort food for me, but I tend to feel a bit of a food coma after a meal here. The criticisms in reviews don't seem fair. Some reviewers write about a rude attitude from employees and a belief that people who speak the Korean language are treated better than those who don't. I've seen people who only speak English and are courteous being treated warmly. Furthermore, the employees here don't miss a beat. The timing of when the entrees arrive to the table after ordering has been consistent over the years. I have not ever waited long for the kimchi, rice, and entrees to arrive, and for our family to be eating. Everything tastes the same as when I first started going decades ago, which is fantastic.

    Came back here for a family event. We were a little worried about a long wait and hard parking but…read moregiven the recession-vibes these days, we also weren't that worried. Turns out, it wasn't nearly as crowded as before - though spoiler: the price has increased a lot (I want to say it was $25/lb 10 years ago, and now is $37/lb). Keep in mind too, you can't get a small amount like 1lb - usually it's gonna be 3+lb so your bill is easily going to hit mid-$100 to $200s from the lobster alone. That being said, many people swear this is the best, and that's why they can charge whatever they want. I'm actually allergic to lobster (lol) but am a team player so I just sampled it for the funsies, and had to get another dish to actually eat (went with the beef lok luk). My family said the lobster noodle was good, but not like, fantastic (which we were expecting not fantastic but yeah, mostly came here to a family meeting.) The beef lok luk was also pretty good like, 4.3 of 5 - we just had another version at Paradise which was astounding (like 4.6) though also more expensive and pretty far away. Overall, not sure if we'll come back again as we're more curious about the copycats that have popped up which might be 80% as good and much more affordable. Stay tuned! :)

This helped us get a table much faster than we would have than if we had just shown up and waited. We ordered the large family meal, and there were 12 of us. We also ordered the Newport Lobster, fish fillet with black bean sauce, and an extra shrimp fried rice. Overall, I think the food was good, and the prices are reasonable (except the lobster, which was pricey, as you might expect from anything listed as "market price"). Most of us in the group thought the fish fillet with black bean sauce was the best. I thought it was very good, but not necessarily fantastic. (There are other Chinese restaurants that do it a little better.) The sauce was very good, but the fish wasn't quite as tender as it can be. Definitely a solid 4 stars. Other dishes were good. I think the scallop soup could have been great for some people, but my wife and I both hate cilantro, and there was a ton of cilantro. The pork was also good, and my friends thought the clams were also really good. I found the fried rice a bit bland. And for both the lobster and the crab, they could have made them a little easier to eat by cracking the shells a bit more for us. I hate fighting with my food ... And there was a fair amount of fighting on these 2 dishes. The lobster cost almost much as all the other dishes combined. It certainly looked amazing. And the sauce was very good. But I found most of it a bit overcooked. Maybe it was our fault for asking for a big one. Maybe a smaller lobster might have been cooked a little less. The great sauce (along with the fighting with the shell) might have covered up the fact that the meat was actually a bit tough and rubbery. I don't think I'd order this again. The service was very friendly and pretty fast. And, again, other than the lobster, the pieces were pretty reasonable.

    My wife, her mom, and I had a dentist appointment in Little Saigon (Westminster), so decided to…read morehave a dine-in lunch nearby. Capital Seafood Restaurant opened at 11am; the wait was well worth it. All three of us loved it. There is a decent size dedicated parking lot just for the standalone restaurant, so was able to find easy parking. We were greeted immediately and directed to a circular booth, giving the three of us plenty of space. The inside space looked recently renovated, with a dedicated banquet room, and two dining hall wings. Hot complementary hot tea was brought for all, and ice water later when I specifically asked for it. Service was excellent throughout. The menu is a book, with the first two pages dedicated to a large lunch menu. Here it doesn't come with any additions (i.e. no soup or egg roll), but white rice is included and served family style. What it does have is a large selection (a whopping 53 different items), including some items I've never seen on a lunch before, all for $13.50. The menu is displayed on the first page (27 items) of the menu book, with the standard vegetarian, chicken, beef, or pork dishes. But by turning the page, one gets to another 26, this time mostly seafood. Many of the items caught by eye. L36 -Ship with Garlic Sauce - it came with big jumbo headless/shell-off shrimp, using a dark pungent sauce that I really liked. Vegetables were green and red peppers, red onions, and a lot of wood ear mushrooms (which I really like). It's a dish I would recommend, especially at this price point. L53 - Pan Fried Whole Fish - didn't really expect much from this, but asked the waitress what type of fish (was expecting tilapia or sway). When she answered 'flounder', I had to try it....and it was much, much better than I expected for the lunch price. It was a WHOLE expertly prepared flounder, with a crisp batter that I enjoyed, and a sweet delicate meat. It came with 2 sauces (soy based, sweet/sour), more for the batter. It was served immediately after it had been prepared. I really loved it, and felt it was a bargain for the price. 90- House Chow Mein HK style ($17) - a disk of deep fried chow mein, topped with a mixture of greens and different meats (including shrimp), in a lighter sauce. It was served immediately after preparation, which allowed us to choose if we want to eat the noodles while still crispy, or let the sauce soak in. Portions are not huge (even for the normal menu item like the pan fried noodles), but very appropriate for the prices. The three of us were able to finish our meal, with no need for take home containers. Soda is only provided from cans ($2.75 each) and I got a bottle of Tsingtao for $5. The check was brought to the table, with a 3% service charge for use of credit card. I enjoy doing a little research about the history of a restaurant like this. On a preliminary scan, there are multiple restaurants with the name of Capital Seafood in the LA/OC area: This location (with the original name of Capital Seafood, having domain of capitalseafoodgg.com) was founded in 1996 by immigrants from Cambodia, and recently was taken over by the original owner's son. There is a different restaurant (also named Capital Seafood, under the Capital Seafood Group in Irvine) running 3 Capital Noodle Bars in Irvine, Costa Mesa, and Brea, along with a Capital Seafood Restaurant in Irvine. This group seems to be related to Kim Tar (a SGV restaurant founded in 1982 in Monterey Park), signifying that they are using those original recipes in their restaurant. This location doesn't seem to be operated by that group, instead run as a separate restaurant. There is also a New Capital Seafood Restaurant in Rowland Heights, which doesn't seem to be operationally related to either one, though most likely branching off at some point. The only thing common seems to be the 'Capital' name (and the assumption that the owners/operators are probably related).

    Wanted fresh live lobster and this place had the best price per lb. To give you an idea, Kings Fish…read moreHouse 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.
