    Great value for your dollar!! This cozy Vietnamese restaurant has an extensive menu but most people come here for the set family menu. For the price, you get so much food and the food is very good. Husband and I usually get the two-person set and we often can't finish the dinner set. Last time we came we decided to get a la carte items: vermicelli with grilled pork sausage and egg rolls plus a rice dish. My noodles came with very generous portions of grilled sausage (nem nuong) and egg rolls. They also give a complimentary dessert (Vietnamese che) after your meal. Overall, a good place for a quick lunch or dinner.

    I have been dining at this restaurant since I was a little girl. When I used to live here, I would go weekly with my family. It is a traditional authentic Vietnamese restaurant. They have really good family style set meals which is what we always order. We ordered the 6 items set menu for $55 (serves around 4 people) which is soo worth it and the portions are so generous. They have smaller family style sets for cheaper. We always have extra and take it togo. It comes with sweet and sour tamarind catfish (my #1 favorite), caramelized catfish soup (you can switch it to pork), fried fish (or you can do salted shrimp), and choice of salad so we got the jellyfish pork shrimp cucumber salad (can also switch for chicken salad). Their fish sauce is soo good. They have complimentary pickled mustards greens as an appetizer and this delicious coconut dessert to finish off the dinner. They don't charge for rice refills either. Service is very quick and efficient. The kind servers basically know us and have our order memorized to a T haha. We don't even have to tell them our order anymore and they always account for my peanut allergy. I cannot stop raving about this restaurant and ALWAYS stop by when I am in town. I believe they are cash only and have their own designated parking lot/street parking.

    We always come here for their catfish set Menu. This is a pretty specific menu that isn't really offered elsewhere (that I know of). The meal starts with a salad of some sort (varies between jellyfish or a shrimp and pork), deep fried pomfret, braised caramel catfish (or pork) dish, Vietnamese tamarind soup with catfish, deep fried shrimp, and brined greens. Previously, you could refill the broth for the soup, but this may have been taken advantage of. You now can refill the broth for an additional cost. Always a satisfying meal.

    Great price. Fast service... First time coming here and I'd come back again. Apparently it's been around for a few decades and very popular with families.

    Dưa Chua or Preserved Sour Vegetable

    Used to come here a decade ago when it was super busy. Traditional Southern Vietnamese food. Ample free parking in the back. We had to exchange some "clean" dishes since they were dirty with food particles. Always get the Cơm Phần Gia Đình or Family Meal. We got the Cơm Phần 2 Người or Served 2 persons for $27. The Canh Chua Cá or Hot & Sour Fish Soup was very flavorful. The Cá Kho Tộ or Salted Fish in Clay Pot tasted great with the white rice. The Gỏi Sữa or Jelly Fish Sour Salad had no jelly fish, it had sliced pork. The Dưa Chua or Preserved Sour Vegetable was very tasty and crispy. We also got the Bò Lúc Lắc or Diced Beef Steak French Style for $11.95. Interesting the dish tasted sweet. We got a drink that was pretty good for about $4. They gave us complimentary desserts, which tasted similar to the drink. Overall, we would come back if we were craving traditional Vietnamese food.

    What's up: Lunchtime with the coworkers! We were all hungry and trying to figure out where to go to eat and this place was suggested. Authentic Vietnamese food? Let's go!! Parking: Small parking lot in the back of the building that's shared among the nearby businesses. No issues finding a spot during weekday lunch hour. Environment: We parked in the back and walked in through the side entrance. There were booth seating as well as regular table/chair seating. No wait for us. Food came fairly quick. When finished with your meal, you'll pay at the counter. Restrooms are located to the right of the pay counter. What was ordered: - Family Meal for 4 people: Hot and Sour Soup with Catfish, Catfish in Clay Pot, Chicken Salad, Fried Shrimp, Preserved Sour Vegetable (everything was yummy. Loved the Catfish in Clay Pot and the Chicken Salad) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The food was good. I enjoyed trying the different food in the family meal and we had more than enough food for the group. It also comes with a bowl of dessert soup. Credit cards are accepted.

    Thai chilis

    We ordered the combo from here that came with all the items you see in the photos, plus a side of eggroll. Price: 5/5 This place offers combo meals for two, four, six, and eight people. It is super affordable and very filling. I believe the four person combo is now around $46 which is about $12 per person. It comes with five dishes, a side of rice, and dessert at the end. I would recommend getting this over the individual orders. Food: 5/5 The food was bursting with flavor. My favorite was the thit kho (clay pot pork). The sauce was sweet, salty, and umami and it goes so well with a bowl of warm rice. The soup was very nostalgic for me because it reminded me of my mom's cooking. The egg rolls that we ordered on the side were crispy and flavorful as well. Finally, the salad was also a great contrast to the hearty meal. Service: 5/5 The service was amazing. The servers were really attentive and brough out extra chilis for us. They let us substitute some of the dishes. And the food came out quick. Ambiance: 4/5 This place is little hidden. The parking in the back is a little sketchy so we did street parking. But once you get inside, it looks like a cute ma and pa shop.

    Jelly fish salad. Mostly cucumber and literally one sliver of a jellyfish.
    M A.

    Food- not worth your money. Check out our order of jelly fish salad in our photo. WTF. Called to ask if the order was just incorrectly prepared... waiter just said we only place a few pieces in it. Ok so call in shredded cucumber.... And lower the damn price or just say we don't sell it. It's the dishonesty that's not working for me. Literally one small one-inch of jelly fish. So bad. If you take out, you'll need to add ingredients to make it good. This place just doesn't care anymore.

    We are back again. Thank goodness this unique Vietnamese restaurant is still open. I don't mind driving from Covina to Rosemead just to have a chance to eat the the delicious authentic home-cooked Vietnamese dishes nowhere to be found in LA county. My favorite to order is the $50.00 combo for 4 that comes with steamy rice, hot & sour soup with mix vegestables, choice of fish or shrimp, pork in claypot (kho to), fried crispy pompano fish , chicken salad, preserve sour vegestable salad. Of course I took home all left over food. Highly recommended. Try something unique and delicious.

The service is still great, the restaurant itself is decently clean and spacious. Sadly, the food just wasn't up to the standards I remember. Salt & Pepper Shrimp 3/10 - Poorly seasoned and lacking the crispiness I was expecting. The shrimp just didn't have much going for it. Mongolian Beef 4/10 - This was basically steamed beef with green onions. The dish lacked the caramelized, savory flavor I typically associate with Mongolian beef. Clams with Basil 5/10 - The flavor was decent, but the clams did not taste particularly fresh, which really took away from the dish. Pan-Fried Pork 2/10 - Unfortunately, this was my least favorite. The pork didn't taste fresh, and the texture made it feel like it had been fried twice. The normally flavorful sauce it came with was also extremely bland. I'm actually very glad I came during lunch and paid lunch prices for these dishes. If I had paid dinner prices, I would have been extremely disappointed. The food from my previous visits weren't extraordinary, but at least it was "okay". However, after this visit, I have officially taken this restaurant off my rotation. I won't be returning.

    A 10/10 first visit, and I'm already planning my return…read more I stopped in on a Sunday around noon, party of one, and grabbed a seat at the bar. The place was fairly quiet when I arrived, but it picked up as my meal went on. The space is really well put together: nautical theme, interesting art, and lots of natural light from the windows balanced by dark wood furniture. You can watch the chefs cook from the dining area, and the long full bar has a great layout. They also had Sunday football on two TVs, which was a nice touch. It kept things casual without feeling too fancy or too much like a sports bar, just a great vibe for an afternoon of football and a good meal at the bar. The bartender made the experience even better. She was attentive, friendly, easy-going, and engaging, and she was quick, too. You can tell she genuinely likes her job. I'd checked the menu beforehand and spotted the mussels and fries. I love both, so I had to try it. The portion is big enough to share, but it works as an entrée if you're hungry. The fries come topped with a truffle garlic mayo, and the mussels arrive steaming hot in a delicious broth. You choose your spice level, and I went spicy. It was perfect, with plenty of heat that never buried the flavor of the broth. I usually only trust mussels near the ocean, but these were cooked perfectly and won me over. The pairing with fries is one I never would have imagined, and it works. If you like garlic, you'll love the broth. As the mayo melts in, it turns creamy and almost looks like a tomato bisque, seasoned to perfection with a flavor I've never had before. Even soaked in broth, the fries stayed crispy. One tip: I finished everything and still had a lot of broth left. My bartender offered bread for dipping, but I was too full and didn't know it was an option. Next time I'll save room or ask for bread right away. I also tried the seasonal spiked apple pie cocktail, with a cinnamon-sugar rim and a cinnamon stick garnish. It was flavorful without being overpowering, the kind of drink you could easily have more than one of. I'll be thinking about this dish until I'm back, which will probably be soon. I'm dying to try the mac & cheese topped with hot Cheetos, plus a few other things on the menu. Highly recommend!

    I had lunch at Newport Seafood Restaurant today with a friend I hadn't seen in a very long time…read more She recently reached out to me after being out of touch for quite a while and asked if I wanted to meet up. Today was a day that worked for me, so we decided to have lunch together and then get a massage afterward. Whenever I come to this area for a massage, I usually have lunch at Boston Lobster. I've heard that Boston Lobster was opened by a chef and some of the staff who used to work here at Newport Seafood Restaurant, so I wanted to come back here after a long time and compare the two restaurants for myself. First, parking. Boston Lobster has regular self-parking, while Newport Seafood has valet parking, which was $2. As for the food, I ordered one of my favorite dishes, shrimp with cashews. I've had it at Boston Lobster many times, and I definitely preferred Boston Lobster's version. We also ordered beef with tomato sauce. Honestly, it didn't look particularly appetizing when it first came out, but once I tried it, it was actually pretty good. We also ordered beef chow mein, and this was probably my favorite dish of the meal. It almost had a slightly Thai-food-like flavor, and it was really delicious. As for the service, this is where I noticed the biggest difference between the two restaurants. Every time I go to Boston Lobster, everyone there is always extremely friendly and welcoming. Here, some of the staff were friendly, but some were not friendly at all. The hostess who greeted us when we first arrived was very nice. After we sat down, she brought a small cucumber dish to our table and asked if we wanted it as an appetizer. We politely declined. Then a male server came to take our drink order and asked whether we wanted hot tea or water. I asked if they had any caffeine-free hot tea, but he didn't seem to understand me. My friend repeated the question very slowly, but he still didn't seem to understand. After we explained it one more time, he finally seemed to get what I was asking and asked if I wanted jasmine tea. I said yes, so we had jasmine tea. It was extremely hot at first, so I also asked for some cold water without ice. Later, while we were eating, we needed to serve ourselves some of the chow mein. The spoon that came with the chow mein wasn't really useful for picking up the noodles, so I asked for an extra pair of chopsticks. The server brought the chopsticks over and basically tossed them down on our table. Honestly, I found that pretty unpleasant. My friend and I looked at each other while we were eating and said, "What was that?" My friend even commented, "Chinese restaurant staff can be so unfriendly sometimes." That has never happened to me at Boston Lobster. The staff there have always been very friendly and attentive whenever I've gone. I had actually been to Newport Seafood Restaurant several times before the COVID pandemic, and I even got their lobster for takeout back then. I remember it being so delicious that, during the pandemic, I once saw on Google that the restaurant was open and drove all the way here, only to find that it was actually closed. I remember being pretty disappointed that day. So coming back here again after such a long time brought back some memories. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with the service today. On the positive side, I found the restroom here to be cleaner than the one at Boston Lobster. However, the toilet here flushes automatically rather than having a manual flush, and I actually found that a little inconvenient. One nice advantage here is that they have private rooms, which would be great if you come with a larger group and want to sit separately with your own party. They do have lunch specials on weekends, which is nice. But personally, I think I'll probably go back to Boston Lobster next time. Their prices are actually about $1-$2 cheaper, I prefer their food overall, there's no valet parking charge, and most importantly, their service has been consistently much friendlier in my experience. So while I enjoyed coming back to Newport Seafood Restaurant after all these years and I did find some dishes here very good, Boston Lobster is still the place I would personally choose for my next visit to this area.

    One of my favorite Vietnamese food places. Sometimes I come here for the coconut snails, sometimes…read moreI come here for the soup, sometimes I come here for the beer with some shrimp, most times, I get everything all at once. Of all the Vietnamese sour soups we've had, this place was the best. It is like a savory version of a lemonade, where the sourness and sweetness is extremely intense, but perfectly balanced. I've tasted all sort items from this restaurant, from quail, to frogs, to snails, to cat fish, and everything has been executed to maximize the taste of the ingredient and sauce. Fish dishes would first be soft, flakely, moist, buttery, and then after the textures, you get hit with the intensities of the sauces. In French cuisine, sauce is king, and Vietnamese food is often times a blend of native and French techniques. This place's food quality punches well beyond it's patronage. I'm frankly surprised how empty this place is, and often times, I avoid writing reviews for my FAVORITE places, because after a review from me, the place gets crazy crowded and the prices go up. Unfortunately, this review is written post mortem. I do hope that this place can re-open someday. Until then, this place has set the bar for me, for all Vietnamese restaurants going forward. Will miss this place.

    Sáu Can Tho is honestly such a gem. Truly sad to see it close its doors. I feel like Vietnamese…read morerestaurants like these are difficult to find in the SGV. We ordered the clams, baked catfish, lotus root salad and the goat tenderloin. All the food here is absolutely delicious. The baked catfish is tender, buttery and flavorful. The baked catfish came with rice paper and veggies to wrap the fish in. The clams and lotus root salad were well seasoned and tasted fresh. The goat tenderloin was super tender and flavorful. Not too gamey either. Service was excellent. Our servers were extremely attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. There is plenty of seating in the restaurant but we made a reservation for the catfish to make sure that we had the chance to try it before they sold out. Going to miss this place!
