It's been 5 years since our last visit and I still don't think they've improved much. My family was…read morecraving some good peiking duck so we called weeks ahead to order since they require minimum 7 days order prior reservation. Duck itself was good, however, they asked a person who doesn't seem very experienced cutting our duck. A lot of the skin pieces were broken by her dull knife... which is such a shame ruining duck that was cooked beautifully by their chef... on top of that, I saw A LOT of meat left on the duck bone when I opened the leftover at home. We could've enjoyed the fresh duck a lot more. Other than the duck, crispy shrimp very much disappointed me too. It was over cooked/over fried. Staff was always busy you can hardly find someone to ask for anything. Our water was never refilled. Unfortunately, I'll probably give it another 5 year before my next visit.

The service was also very good and accommodating, especially since I came in with a party of 8. Here are my thoughts on the food: Spicy Beef Tripe - I actually really enjoyed this one. It was cold and had good flavors. (4/5) Shrimp Fried Rice - It was simple, but it was good. Nothing over the top, just a simple classic. (4/5) Pan Fried Dumpling - It was delicious, had good flavors, and was juicy. (4.5/5) Beef Udon - Another simple dish, but it was good. Nothing overly done, just a nice carb to have. (4/5) Beef Roll - Best thing they have for sure. Nice flavors and made perfectly. (5/5) Pan Fried Bao - Pretty good. It had juice inside, and the meat was tasty. (4.5/5) Popcorn Chicken - We got this one mild, and they basically didn't put any spice on it. TBH, it lacked flavor, and besides being pretty crispy, it definitely needed some spice. (3/5) Beef Noodle Soup - It was good and pretty traditional. (4/5) Overall, most of the food was good but not spectacular IMO. It's a solid place to eat if you're looking for pretty good food, and the price isn't too bad! Parking - Now this stings because this lot SUCKS. If you come during peak hours, just pray because it's a very popular lot with plenty of good restaurants, so it gets crowded. I ended up exiting and driving south to the first local street, where you can park and walk over.

OMG! If you're craving some REALLY good lobster and want to get your money's worth, Boston Lobster…read moreis definitely worth trying! I came here with a friend, just the two of us, and the portions were HUGE. We ordered a lobster that was around 3-4 pounds, and the lobster is priced per pound. I believe we had the Boston Lobster House Special, and we added the noodles for about $10 extra. Let me tell you and it did NOT disappoint. The lobster was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely mouthwatering. The noodles soaked up all that flavor from the lobster and seasoning, and everything together was just delicious. I kept wanting to eat even though I was already getting full! It is a little pricey, especially depending on the size of the lobster you choose, but they give you A LOT of food. There were only two of us, and we each had enough food left over to take home and have another full meal. Honestly, the amount we ordered could have easily fed four people. We also had the shrimp fried rice, which was delicious, and even the lemon iced tea was really good. I wanted to try more things, but there was absolutely no way, we already had so much food! This is definitely more of a family-style dining experience. In my opinion, this isn't your typical quick Chinese food spot or chain restaurant. The quality, freshness, portions, and overall experience put Boston Lobster on another level. I also loved the atmosphere. We sat near the live seafood tanks, so you can actually see the lobsters and other seafood in the tanks, which added to the experience. They also have their own private parking lot with two-hour parking, which is a huge plus. We didn't have reservations and were able to get seated, but I could definitely see this place getting crowded, so reservations may be helpful during busier times. For me, Boston Lobster is easily FIVE STARS. If you're in the Rosemead area looking for delicious Asian seafood and some seriously good lobster, I definitely recommend it. Just make sure you come HUNGRY!

We went during lunch, and I…read morethink this was the first time I've ever seen this place without a line, so I was definitely happy to skip the wait. The service was really great and fast. They kept switching out our plates whenever they got filled with empty shells, so we always had a clean plate. The inside was also pretty nice, and you can see all the fish and lobsters in the tanks. Overall, it was a great experience! Definitely on the pricier side, but we had a good time and the food and service made it worth it. Food was everything we expected! We got: Steamed turbo fish 10/10 - it was really flavorful and the ginger and onions on top was an amazing touch. Clams w basil - was very good and fresh. We couldn't stop eating it 10/10 House special lobster - was fire!! It was very easy to take out the shell and it was so tasty. Would definitely recommend! 100/10 French beef - not the star of the show but still was really flavorful! 9/10 Sour soup - it was a good soup and tasted like all the other sour soup nothing too special :) 8/10 Ong choy - we needed some vegetable on the table and steamed ong choy w garlic was really good and refreshing. 10/10 Fried rice - matched w everything we were eating 9/10

We ordered the Shanghai-style Sweet and Sour Pork, Kung Pao Chicken, Sliced Beef with Onions, Steamed Greenland Halibut, Braised Pork Belly in Brown Sauce, and Stir-Fried Clams with Black Bean Sauce. The portions were large, making it easy to share family-style. The Shanghai-style sweet and sour pork had a nice balance of sweet and tangy flavors. The Kung Pao chicken offered just the right amount of spice. The sliced beef with onions was tender and flavorful. The steamed Greenland halibut was fresh and delicately seasoned, the braised pork belly was rich and melt-in-your-mouth. The clams paired perfectly with the savory black bean sauce. The restaurant has a spacious dining room with beautiful décor and a modern, elegant interior, creating a comfortable atmosphere for family dinners or gatherings. Combined with the generous portions and reasonable prices, it's a great spot for classic Chinese comfort food.

But then another group of Cantonese speaking party came and refused to wait outside, so they're standing inside staring at the employee & was seated before us. So we walked in to inquire about it and their reason was, you didn't check your phone which a text popped up immediately after the employee mentioned it... indicating she just clicked the send message button while talking with us. Very unprofessional! And the overall attitude of staff helping us (surprisingly other than the non Cantonese ones) are quite rude, since we don't speak their language. I inquired about something, a male employee with plastic black frame glasses just give me a look like he don't want to address to me. He was also the one who came halfway of us eating to drop the check and tell us to pay first. Creepiest thing is he wouldn't stop staring at me trying to see how much tip I put down, which makes the dining experience even more uncomfortable.... As we are leaving the restaurant, we noticed they already purposely turned off all the light on the other half of the dining area with still many tables of customer dining trying to signal them to leave or something. The food itself is alright but with this kind of service. No thank you...

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.

Initially I rated…read morethis place 3 stars, but over the years we have been regular patrons and have come to love Ji Rong inviting family and friends to celebrate special occasions. The Peking duck is still a stand out. Depending on the amount of people we love adding the signature crispy grouper with the sweet and chill or the short ribs. I love the Chengdu Style Green Bean Jelly. It's spicy numbing with a bit of tartness. They recently revamped their menu adding a lot of new things and their drinks list has grown substantially. Their grilled on the bone beef rib is excellent and new jellyfish appetizer has a wonderful crunch. We haven't tried every menu item because we always get at least one duck which takes up space but we are always aiming to try one new thing each time.

Tip: 1 Duck platter order per 8-10ppl is typical (don't get scammed for more) unless you're a foreigner who doesn't share dishes (joke of ordering 1 steam fish for their 1 dish for themself). Duck and Five-Color with Mung Bean Noodle Salad are musts. Best for groups. Overall a decent group dinner place due to price and quality (excellent service, higher quality/cleaner processed food). Is it the best Northern food? No, but decent in Chinese food and priced well which makes this place a repeatable place. But it's not northern chinese food taste. Allows us to bring bday cake and light own candle. No outside drinks (even non-alcoholic). How to RSVP group party and specific dishes -- - They only allow rsvp 7days ahead. - Table: 6ppl Table to add 2 chairs. OR if we take the 8ppl table private room, then we need to spend $400minimally with credit card to be put on RSVP phone can when RSVP. For a party of 8ppl, the non-private room table would be too small for ordering a bunch of dishes. - Order how many Peking Duck orders? "Depends on people but there was a small group that ordered 2, and then a group of 12 that ordered just one." For Chinese banquet style, usually 1 duck order per 8-10ppl is fine. It's like 1 birthday cake for 1 party table. - Ordering lobster dish ($200+$20 noodles) requires ordering early. We were able to order one at 1140amish for our 5pmish Saturday night dinner. We feels it's good to order for 8ppl+. - 2hr dining time limit. Musts - Five-Color with Mung Bean Noodle Salad: Doesn't taste like how it should but guess they tried? - Duct platter is good. For a party of 8ppl, most ppl will be able to grab at least 1-2 which is enough since there's other dishes too. Dinner for 8ppl (over ordered, and ordered via more meat due to meat heavy eater orderer for our group). I would have ordered more veggies (next visit). 1 北京烤鴨 (荷葉餅,配料) $95.00 Roasted Peking Duck 1 加荷叶饼 Extra Pancakes $7.00 (no buns were offered here). 1 鸭汤 Duck Soup $19.98 - Comes with tofu and cabbage in it. It's light, and good to have so you don't need to order a different soup. It's okay though. 1 六福大拼盘 Six Fortune Platter $48.98 - Center jelly fish was the star. Most eaters on my table talked about it. I was pretty happy with gluten, and pate type meat slice. Everything else was okay. This might be good for a party of 10ppl instead. I don't see it as a mist for our party of 8ppl. 1 五彩大拉皮 Five-Color with Mung Bean Noodle Salad $18.98 - Mix yourself. I usually eat this dish with a lot of the spicy mustard (like horseradish/wasabi) in it. But it's nice they have it on the side for each person's spicy level? I dont think I've ever eaten it with vinegar oil? I loved this dish as a kid for Northern cuisine. Unfortunately, this dish isn't to par. But okay enough. This dish is usually a must order/staple appetizer from northern cuisine restaurants. 1 梅菜扣肉 Steamed Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables $22.98 - Not for me. 1 牙签孜然羊肉 Cumin Lamb on Toothpicks $25.98 - Done well. My SO loved it. Typical Northern western Chinese protein and dish. A dish that's become a typical bar food dish around 626. 1 西汁核桃虾 Crispy Walnut Shrimp $18.98 - Remember this isn't a canto restaurant. So this style is not the same from cafes, or canto seafood restaurants. Really good deal for the amount they have us. 1 葱油鱼片 Fish Fillet with Scallion Oil $24.98 - Particular texture. I love fish, but for some reason, this texture really confuses me. Like eating raw skin crunching fish? I just have to get used to it? Or I'm just the anomaly in this one. 1 招牌黑椒龙虾 Signature Black Pepper Lobster 5.50 lb @$35.00/lb $192.50 -加伊面 Add Noodle $20.00 Lobster 5.50lbs. This one was pepper vs Canto oil style. They'll ask you when ordering your food. That was the smallest lobster they had. Next one would be a 6lb lobster instead. 1 木耳山药 Black Fungus with Chinese Yam $18.98 - My type of dish. Light and healthier. 1 热水 Hot Water $0.00 1 茉莉花茶 Jasmine Tea $9.98 (pot worth) 8 冰水 Ice Water $0.00 Items in interested in trying next time with a group whose okay with dishes I usually go for - - Garlic shredded eel $32.48 (OR Spicy Stir-fried Pork)  - Special Shredded Pancake (OR Kurobuta Pork Meat Pie $14ish, Chive Pancakes, Chive Turnovers). - more vegetable heavy dishes. Service was amazing. Multiple plate changes, and ice water refills.
