    They never miss. I'm here at least three times a month and The Food is spectacular and the service is impeccable. Whenever family comes to town I take them to Seafood Cove 2. One time the family was late and I just ordered for the Table. I never saw a giant Lobster disappear so fast. We ordered 8 items from the Dim Sum Menu and most were then doubled. My all time favorite is the House style Lobster. Today I tried the Chicken Feet for the first time ever and again they didn't miss. From what I understand they also serve it Salt and Pepper style which the Shrimp cooked that way is my second favorite behind the Lobster. Sunday's can be a bit busy so I try and go during the week.

    My go to authentic Chinese restaurant in the OC. I've been here for Dim Sum once and dinner several times already. The food is just as good if not better as restaurants in San Gabriel Valley, even ones with a Bib Gourmand. Also, the service is very friendly. The servers are multi-lingual, attentive, and funny. My favorite dish here is the Salt & Pepper Spareribs. I also like their Pea Sprouts and Salt & Pepper Squid. It does get packed on the weekends, so there can be a 30-60 minute wait time depending on when you show up, as part of the restaurant gets booked for a wedding / Chinese banquet. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Second visit here, and I still enjoy coming to this place. The atmosphere is pleasant, and it's actually 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.

    Went here for Sunday brunch and this place was already packed to the brim. I highly recommend to get 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.

    Seafood Cove 2 is a must-visit every time we're in the area. Coming here always feels like a celebration! The food is absolutely delicious, and I usually end up ordering everything my eyes are hungry for because it's all so good. From the fresh seafood to the flavorful dishes, you really can't go wrong. What makes this place even better is the amazing staff. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and always makes sure we have everything we need. They truly go above and beyond to make every visit enjoyable. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful seafood and outstanding service, Seafood Cove 2 is definitely worth the visit. We'll keep coming back!

    Really good place to eat dimsons. I can not give them 5bstars,because they charge jasmine tea. They used to serve the tea for free.

    Had a great experience at Seafood Cove #2! For not having to drive to SGV for the really good dimsum, this place is pretty great! When we arrived there was a moderate amount of people waiting but wait wasn't as long as I thought it would be! We waited about 15 min for a party of 6 at 10 am on a Sunday. The inside was banquet style restaurant with a lot of seating and tables, so it makes sense that the wait wasn't terribly long. The service is friendly, a lot of younger staff. Most of the dim sum is ordered from the menu, only the steamed noodles are ordered from the cart. I do miss the cart and being able to see and choose what we wanted. The food came out very fast and was very fresh! Everything tasted amazing. I loved the turnip cake, football, shui mai, and chicken feet the most! But it was all delicious. It definitely hit the dim sum cravings.

    Literally my favorite dim sum place to exist, I make the 30 minute drive here whenever I'm craving dim sum because it's the best in the OC area. The dim sum is HUGEEE, especially the siu mai. The size really makes it so much juicier and satisfying to bite through, and it's packed with so much pork and shrimp. The siu mai is definitely my favorite, but other go-tos for the table are the har gow, sticky rice, ham sui gok, bbq pork rice rolls, and chicken feet. I also tried a new dish this most recent time, the tofu skin wrapped dumpling, and it was really good, I'll have to add this one to my regular order! It's definitely already a super popular spot, especially for large parties, so I'd recommend going early or getting takeout!

    So popular but the wait wasn't too bad, it was like a 20 minute wait on a Saturday around 1pm. Once we got seated, you order from a picture menu with the server. I don't remember the last time I came here but I think it used to be carts but this is more efficient. We ordered the usual dim sum items, shrimp rolls, har gow, shu mai, chicken feet, soup dumplings, steam tofu skin roll,and pork ribs. The portion was big and we had left overs. Definitely cheaper here than San Diego. Hit the dim sum spot.

    I grew up having dim sum with my family as a kid. It brings me nostalgia and fond memories whenever I think about it. I went to Seafood Cove after years of not having dim sum. It was my first time and it was pretty good. I was happy with the food and the company was great. Parking fills up quickly. We got there in the morning and had to wait a few minutes for a spot.

    This review is mainly for their dim sum :) Dim sum is served everyday from 8:30am-3pm! Service was great during that time and everyone was friendly. It's nice to go on a weekday morning when there is barely anyone there which is what my husband and I did. Their selection is pretty good and everything tastes great but it can definitely add up on the bill. Overall, I think it is one of the better places to grab dim sum :)

    The dinner spread

    Came to Seafood Cove 2 on a Saturday night for a friend's birthday dinner with a group of 9, and it was such a fun experience. We went all out and ordered a ton of dishes including clams in basil, lobster, Peking duck, honey walnut shrimp, and shaken beef. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. Honestly, every dish was a hit with the table. Service was great throughout the night. Our server even brought the lobster out for a quick photo op before it was taken back to be prepared, which made the night feel a little more special. We ended up with around 12 main entrees plus some drinks, and the total was surprisingly affordable for the amount of food we ordered. Definitely a solid spot for group dinners and celebrations. Only downside is parking can be a bit tricky, especially on a busy weekend night, so plan a little extra time for that. Overall, would absolutely come back!

    Came into town and had lunch with my daughter here at this place. They serve dim sum which you would ordered with the waiter or waitress, they don't push cart here not like some other places so your able to see. Dim sum here they stop serving till 3pm. We had ordered shrimp dumpling and that was good. The only thing I didn't like the steam ribs was very chewy and fatty and also the pork dumpling was definitely has some fat in it that I didn't like versus some place didnt have any fat in them. Service here the girl at the register was rude and ask with an attitude. I mean I can hear clear and loud, asking question in a loud tone of voices. I'm not deaf.. shouldn't be talking like that either way to anyone. But she didn't do just me she talk to everyone like that when they bring the check to her so she can ring up the total bill. Absolutely rude. Ambience it's big and it's upstairs they have stairs and escalator to go up to the restaurant.

    Both

    Do they serve dim sum on weekdays?

    Yes, Dim Sum serves Daily in their Westminster location.

    What is the average price here for dim sum items like xiu mai or chicken feet?

The fish is perfectly seasoned, and the aroma from the dill and scallions alone is enough to make your mouth water. I also highly recommend their selection of congee. Each version is made to order with your choice of meats, and the porridge has that silky-smooth, creamy consistency that makes it the ultimate comfort food. Rich, hearty, and incredibly satisfying, it's one of those dishes that keeps you coming back for another spoonful.

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.

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.

At that price, it's practically free, so obviously we had to investigate. We made sure to get there right before opening and waited about 10 minutes. Luckily, there were only two other parties ahead of us. While standing there, I couldn't help but notice that this entire food center is literally smack dab in the middle of residential homes.

The only thing that is NOT plentiful? Parking. More on that another time. For the promo, I got the brisket sando with dirty rice, and hubby got the pulled pork sando with cornbread, both with fountain drinks. After ordering, we waited about 10 minutes before our little ringer buzzed and our food was ready. First thing I appreciated: the sandos don't come drowning in BBQ sauce. THANK YOU. You can add as much or as little as you want, which is perfect for people like us who aren't huge fans of super sweet BBQ sauces. My brisket was tender and well made, although for some reason I couldn't really taste much smoke. I swear I have this problem at BBQ places--am I the problem?! Either way, the meat itself was good, and their BBQ sauce had a nice balance of tartness and flavor that really helped bring the sandwich together without overpowering it. The dirty rice was also good, although I expected a little more umph. It seemed like a genius way to make use of all those precious little brisket and pulled pork bits left behind from cutting the meats--instead of letting those scraps go to waste, throw them into some rice! I fully support using every last morsel of BBQ goodness. BUT...if that's the idea, give me more of those meat pieces! Mine could've definitely used a little more. Hubby's pulled pork was good as well, but again...where's the smoke?! Maybe it's just our taste buds. Overall, the meats were tender, the food was good, the people were nice, and for $5.70, this promo was an absolute STEAL. At the normal price point, though, while I thought everything was well made, nothing quite grabbed me enough that I'd be rushing back anytime soon. Still, I'm glad we finally discovered Smoke Queen after apparently being the last people on Yelp to know it existed.

    This place is fireeeeeee Classic, delicious and sexy ass…read moreKorean Chinese food!! The tangsuyuk here is FOCKEN FIRE The batter is perfectly crispy and cronchy and the meat inside is so juicy and yummy. The sauce is so good, it's tangy, sweet, sour just MUAH! I ate tf out this dish.. we had to order rice bc it was so addicting... I dream about the tangsuyuk bro I usually order the jjamppong but I think the soup lacks some flavor and spice even tho I added a gang load of chili powder. They do pack that bih was hella seafood tho, like plump ass shrimps, squid, octopus and mussels. I think the jajangmyun is bomb!! It's so yummy, the sauce is perfect. I'll be getting this all the time now~ The Kung pao chicken is yummy too. Lots of chicken and I lovelovelove the spiciness in it. The peanuts add the perfect lil cronch as well The service here is great, servers are attentive and very informative when we asked a million questions This place is awesome!! Highly highly recommend for anyone looking for some dank ass Korean Chinese food

    I've gone to Peking Gourmet for years and had delicious experiences each time. The jajangmyun,…read morejjampong, and sweet and sour pork are classics. 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.

    I've been here several times and it's always busy. Be prepared to wait. Luckily, there is Yelp…read moreWaitlist. The key is to be here before 6pm. We came on a Friday night at 5:40 and was seated right away. A big restaurant with lots of seating and best to come with a group of people so you can order a variety of dishes. With that being said, restaurant is loud and packed. The staff is friendly and quick to help. Now, on to the food...it is so delish! Everything comes hot piping HOT, well seasoned, and oh so flavorful. I don't think I can pick one dish that's my favorite. Definitely coming back to try more of their dishes.

    This was my first time trying a Vietnamese seafood restaurant and overall no complaints. All of the…read moreseafood was fresh, flavorful and unique. They have a wide selection of dishes that isn't just seafood but I would say it defeats the purpose if you're getting a meat dish at this place. The soft shell crab was super crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. The crab/shrimp fried rice was also pretty solid but I think I prefer Thai crab fried rice. We also got a beef hot pot which was my driest time having viet hot pot. I don't think it's for me, the beef broth was sweet and I don't typically enjoy my savory foods to be sweet. The meat itself was really tender though, maybe if we opted for a seafood hot pot it would've been better. Service was standard, quick and friendly. The restaurant was clean and modern with ample amount of seating. I don't think I would go out of my way to come back here but it was still an enjoyable experience where I got to try new dishes.
