World Seafood Restaurant in Alhambra has been my go to for larger dinners and annual gatherings for years. I haven't been back for dim sum since they first opened, but from what I remember it was solid. Dinner, though, is where this place really delivers. We usually host a big family or company banquet here once a year and the experience is always consistent. The food comes out hot, well seasoned, and in generous portions that are perfect for a full table. Every time we come back the quality is there and the pricing still feels very fair for the amount and variety you get, which is important when you're planning for a group. Service is one of the biggest reasons we keep choosing this spot. The staff is experienced with banquets and everything runs smoothly from start to finish. GM Simon is fantastic and always makes sure we're taken care of, which makes hosting here stress free and actually enjoyable. If you're looking for a reliable place in the SGV for celebrations, company dinners, or large family meals, this is one of the safest and most consistent choices around. read more

Came with a large party of 20 for a reunion. Food was cooked well! Particularly their king crab special was excellent. Crab was cooked perfectly and you can taste the natural sweet crab taste against the tons of butter. Their other stir fried dishes such as filet mignon, veg, tofu, etc also were well made. Also thoroughly enjoyed their salted egg yolk crab. That was amazing too and worth the spike in cholesterol Service was okay, the dude bussing the table didn't check if I was done eating and took my bowl of crab and rice that I spent time gathering up luckily it was the last 4 pieces but still!!! Standard no frills, say what you need type service. Spacious though, and the spot was not that full for a Monday night. Regardless, king crab was fire and well worth it. Saw others eat geoduck sashimi and I def want some of that too. read more

Came for dim sum with family on a Sat. Less expensive on weekdays. We had ha gow (nice and plump), sui mai (huge and moist), chicken feet, taro puffs, taro cake (different, delicious and pretty), pork bean curd that came in a soup. We weren't used to it in a soup form. It was still good. Private rooms available. Nice ambience. Good service. Parking lot in the back. Come early to beat the crowd. Looking forward to having dinner which came highly recommended! read more

Came here for dim sum on a weekday for lunch and they were surprisingly packed. The parking lot was so full that we had to park on the side street. Luckily we didn't have to wait because we made reservations for the room since we were a party of 12. Service was pretty good, and food came pretty quickly. Only thing I didn't like was that there was one server who was pretty rough and would throw our dishes onto the table. We ordered the typical dim sum like har gow, siu mai, chicken feet, spare ribs. On top of that, we also ordered a clay pot rice with preserved meat, a plate of veggies, and also a chow mein. I really enjoyed the clay pot rice and we even had extra to pack to go. Food was very flavorful and came out hot. The har gow and chicken feet tasted like it was overcooked though because they were falling apart. read more

Came here for dinner twice this month with family. This place is a great place to eat for dinner with family, prices aren't too bad. My favorite dish was their salted egg fried king crab the batter is delicious (see first photo) and flavorful it goes well with the meat! The other King Crab is also cooked nicely with the garlic and other garnishes. The Chinese bbq chicken was good too. Only bad thing about this place is they don't take Apple Pay so don't forget to bring your credit cards....overall 8/10. Service is typical Chinese restaurant, if you speak Chinese it will definitely be easier but servers do speak English. Most days I noticed the restaurant is not too crowded, ambiance is not too bad, never had trouble getting a table. read more

This place is underrated on Yelp. The dim sum is consistently solid and the menu is huge. If you need space for a large party and want some banquet style food, come here. You won't break the bank and still enjoy some modern Chinese fare. read more

No wait on a Sunday during lunchtime. You can order dim sum at the table, they do not have food carts. You can order dim sum, lunch specials and dishes. Lots to choose from. The dim sum ribs were really good and garlicky. The chicken sticky rice was really good. It was soft and very flavorful. Everything else was good. They have all the regular items at dim sum. Shrimp har gow, shu mai, chicken feet, football, rice rolls, etc. I didn't care for the zongzi. It was the Vietnamese style with the mung bean. They have a big dining room and private rooms. HAPPY DIMSUMING read more

I would give this restaurant 3.5 stars for dim sum. I especially liked the bean curd wrap with pork. But I did not care for the shrimp har gaw or the shrimp rice roll. The har gow skin was too thick and the shrimp did not taste very fresh. The rice roll was fine but the shrimp filling was not fresh. All of the other dishes were fine. Service was good. Parking is no good; very small parking lot. read more

Ambiance: fancy chair covers, many individual rooms, well-lit Service: this is pertaining to the dinner service. They changed our plates frequently even though they had a ktv party going outside and we were in one of the rooms. There was no gap in service the whole night, which I appreciated. Even teapots and hot water were replenished often. However, the food came slow (understandably because of the large party going on in the main banquet hall) Food: decent portion for a table of 12, were able to make substitutes on some of the dinner menu set to fit our needs. I particularly enjoyed the xo sauce stir fried geoduck, steamed fish, and roasted suckling pig. But overall, the food was pretty mid. For example, the veggies in the fried rice were too bitter, no different textural elements so it was very monotonous. The sea cucumber that accompanied the abalone was a little too firm. The fried scallops lacked flavor, though the scallops were gigantic. The walnut dessert with black sesame glutinous rice ball only had one ball per bowl, tasted watered down. Overall, for the price range, we got good ingredients, but more seasoning and additional textures would elevate the dishes better. read more

We came here for a family dinner with a party of eight and ordered both king crab and geoduck. The seafood was impressively fresh and the portions generous. The king crab was flavorful and perfectly cooked, while the geoduck sashimi was clean, crunchy, and refreshing. Service was attentive and efficient throughout the meal, and for the quality of seafood, the pricing was very reasonable. Great experience overall -- would definitely return for another celebration or large gathering. read more

Update review: one of my friend decided to still have his wedding at this place since I didn't mentioned bad thing about this restaurant except telling him to not leave anything at the restaurant before his wedding incase he lost them like ours. When the manager knew that he is my friend, he still remember us and he sent an apology through him to us and also gave us back our deposit money through my friend. The service and foods were not bad. The manager was nice, but for his response to the loss of our handmade wedding gifts damaged the relationship. If only he apologized and no other words, it'll be fine. But this is a lesson learned. I happened to be in charge of the decoration and needed to arrive early and met the manager there.. he apologized to my husband again, but for me, it's still a bit awkward. Lol. Oh well, things happened and I accepted and forgive. read more

I don't know how this place is nearly empty at times. This restaurant is my family's go to Chinese seafood restaurant whenever we have a family gathering. I love that they have private dining rooms with karaoke set up, so you can have a dinner and a show. We kept coming back because they give generous portions and the flavor of each dish is on point. If you're looking for some good Chinese seafood dishes to feed your family, I highly recommend this restaurant. One star off, because I feel like it's time for a little bit of TLC on the interior decor. read more

This restaurant was hit hard by covid and it's such a bummer to see because I really think this place is a diamond in the rough. My family and I love this restaurant. With tasty food, ample parking, and terrific service, it's become a staple restaurant for us to go to. We really LOVE the garlic crab cooked dry here and the staff is so attentive, they'll keep swapping out your plates to get rid of all the shells building up from eating. I also like their westlake soup, sweet and sour pork, and peking pork. At dim sum, I like their chicken feet here a lot! A lot of places have it where it's too fatty/gelatinous, but this is yummy and just perf. They also refilled our tea frequently without us having to ask. Some other highlights: sound volume is pretty low here compared to the cacophony of some other restaurants, which is great because my bf has auditory sensitivities You can actually hear your whole table here and it seems like a lot of people like to do the private rooms. Also, the bathrooms are SO CLEAN, which has been a rarer and rarer find nowadays. I already mentioned the great service, but want to say it again--they're SO nice here, which is one of the drivers that made me want to write a review!! Would absolutely recommend. read more

First time coming here for dim sum and it turned out to be pretty good. I wasn't expecting much as it wasn't packed with customers but I was pretty good overall. My friend was visiting from out of town and chose this restaurant based off something he read on the plane. He made a good choice on this restaurant. The bao's, hai gao and siu Mai's were all tasty and plump. Service was quick but the only downsize was no carts like traditional dim sum places that I'm used too. They do have pictures and you choose what you want if you can't read Chinese characters so it's good for foreigners. Everything was good and tasty. I'll be back with my out of town guests to enjoy. read more

Celebrated mom's bday last night. We got a private room bc there was a party in the main dining area. Figured we'd be neglected and the food would take forever but on the contrary. Food was real good and our server had a great attitude and was attentive to our needs which is usually atypical in Chinese restaurants read more

Introduction: I first visited this establishment due to the recommendation from a friend of mine and ever since that visit, I've become one of their loyal customers. Food: Dim Sum Some of my favorite dim sum dishes at this establishment are as follows: Crystal osmanthus cake: The crystal osmanthus cake serves as a great palate cleanser and ending to the meal: it is a dessert that is light, cooling, and refreshing. The best part is the fact the restaurant doesn't skimp on the amount of osmanthus flower they put in the cake and as a result, with each bite, the patrons can fully taste the delicate sweetness and fragrance of the flower. Crispy fish ball: The fish ball is unique in the sense there is an inherent savoriness that's derived from the fish it's made from. The texture of the fish ball is bouncy which means the one making the fish ball has to beat/slap the fish paste repeatedly during the course of making the fish balls [it's a labor-intensive dish]. Pan-fried daikon cake: Unlike the usual pan-friend daikon cake that's served at other dim sum restaurants, the pan-fried daikon cakes at World Seafood Restaurant are refined in its flavors and taste; there is a cleanness to the daikon cakes overall as opposed to being either heavy or greasy. Cocktail bun with coconut filling: It's hard finding a good cocktail bun with coconut filling since very few places make it. I like the cocktail bun due to its texture resembling that of a brioche-bun and the coconut filling inside is delicately sweet and fragrant. Chinese herb with chicken feet: In terms of chicken feet, there are the red braised and herb variety; I prefer the latter between the two because I enjoy the taste and drinking the herbal soup afterwards for the sake of recovery after undergoing an intensive training session. Steamed lotus wrap sticky rice: Amongst all the steamed lotus wrap sticky rice I've tried at other dim-sum locations, the lotus wrap sticky rice at World Seafood Restaurant is the best. The size of the lotus wraps is just right: neither too big nor small. Due to the size of the wraps not being too big, the flavors from the ingredients are more concentrated as a result. In addition, all the ingredients inside are of good quality: one can taste the difference(s) as they're eating the lotus rice wraps. Ambiance: Upscale, spacious, classy Service: The staff is friendly, cordial, and accommodating Price: Reasonable read more

Ordered Shrimp and Pork Shiu Mai, Chu Zhou Fun Gor, Crispy Eggroll, Deep fried dumpling with mochi, egg custard tart, and Beef Chow Fun. The Shrimp and Pork Shiu Mai were a nice size and a different topping that might be pork floss instead of the usual roe that is on top of the shiu mai. The Chu Zhou Fun Gor were on the smaller side in terms of size, still quite flavorful with a slightly different mix of more seasoned vegetables inside. The Crispy Eggroll were petite, decorated nicely and still very hot and fresh inside. The Deep fried dumpling with mochi was served hot and had a nice sticky exterior to crunch into. The egg custard tarts were on the smaller side too but the egg part of the tart seemed to be more egg custard concentrated than other places. And the Beef Chow Fun was probably the best dish to end with, generous slices of beef inside this well-seasoned noodle dish, a great pick out of all of this. Service was fast, foot traffic through lunch was not very busy, but the two parking area are very tight on space and availability. Interior ambiance is loud, lots of chatter going on so it's easy to be drowned out by the voices around you. The tablecloths are more like table plastic, it's some sort of plastic sheet that they overlay, looks nice but a little weird at first sight. Overall, there are other greater options for dimsum, especially with their middling price, this was fine but there was a lot of room for improvement. read more

World Seafood Restaurant in the city of Alhambra has a pretty nice dinner option if you are dining with a large group of people. This is an Asian-style seafood place but they have meat as well as vegetable dishes. All the dishes are family style so they are big to share. I enjoyed the lobster and all the dishes we ordered. The walnut shrimp had a nice crispy texture on the outside and was full of flavor. Don't forget to eat the walnuts too! The vegetables are a good amount and I love how they put a lot of mushrooms on it! The steamed fish was fresh and fall off the bone. They also have different fried rice dishes we got the one with beef and that was a good amount of meat inside. So if you are hunting for a spot in the city of Alhambra for dinner time this could be for you! read more

I gave this place 5 stars last time but when you serve me FROZEN chicken feet you gotta get docked a few stars. Really? FROZEN chicken feet? I called one of the servers and he looked at me like I was crazy. Then we called over the manager and he immediately took it to the back. They replaced all of our dishes and chopsticks right away. I mean I'm pretty sure these were pre-cooked then tossed into the freezer so I'm sure there wasn't any raw chicken. They brought out one steaming hot one but they forgot about the second one. Again, we asked them what bout our second one and they looked at us like we were crazy. Eventually they brought out a a second one. I didn't think giving this place a one star review was fair. They've been solid the past couple of times but this time they fumbled the ball. read more

Delicious Chinese food and friendly staff. The lobster, steamed fish, and stir fried veggies were great.

I am surprised this place ain't popping during dinner. The food they deliver is absolutely ridiculous. Presentation is beautiful. Aroma smacks your face as the server brings the food in. The food is absolutely delicious. Clams were fresh and its not overwhelmingly salty compared to other restaurants I've been to. Lamb was so absolutely tender with a sweet spin. It harmonizes the saltiness. I would definitely recommend this place out and try their dishes. read more

This place right here is excellent!! The food is pretty relative to most good Chinese restaurants, but what makes the difference here for me is the service. They are not only quick, but they are friendly. They also aren't very crowded so will be able to handle your large group. I saw one table seat up to 15. I came here for dinner and for dim sum (which is the kind you order on paper) and both were really good. They also have two parking lots so you will find parking too. read more

I went here for dim sum and the food is decent. As more and more restaurants pop up in the 626, alot of them don't really seem to hit the spot, and this is one of them. For the most part, the dim sum is pretty solid, but some of them are a miss. The har gow shrimp is fresh but had too much white pepper flavor in it. The pork ribs had too much cornstarch that it felt mushy. However, most of the other classic dim sum are good. I really enjoyed the ham sui gok (crispy savory filling dim sum) and the cheurng fun - rice noodle with the crispy shrimp and roe which still maintains the crispness over the soy sauce. I also liked the bean curd roll here though it was a bit interesting it is placed in a soup bowl instead of a plate. It's a decent choice for dim sum especially since it is not too busy, but there are better places around. read more

Exactly what you imagine when it comes to old-school Dim Sum. Big ballroom, nice linens, and sparkly crystal. Love this style and great for that aesthetic feel. The food was really great. Not one bad dish I tried. The standouts to me were the pork pastry, the pork and shrimp shu mai (a must anywhere), and the sticky rice with chicken (pictured with the wrapped leaf). Nothing to blow you away but perfectly hit the spot. The only drawback was prices have jumped quite a bit. cheapest items were over $4. they even handed us a menu with $3 items and told us that's not accurate lol. Regardless, i'd come back to try even more things. read more

I went on a Saturday and found out that they opened at 10 am. Seems like the opening hours is incorrect on Yelp. I love their dim sum and have them ordered to go. It took a bit longer than expected, but I was the first person there that day, and it is normal that the stove take some time to start up in the morning. The staff were super friendly. I had no problem with parking. Highly recommend to come early. They also waive tea charge until 11am. Everything tasted sooo good. Can't wait to go back again. read more

Came here with my family for Lunar New Year dinner and was not disappointed. Many of the items were delicious, including the walnut shrimp, peking duck, filet mignon cubes, and sweet and sour pork. There were a couple of items that were not as great, which is why I deducted a star. There were some veggies that were old and hard to eat, as well as the fish maw soup being super fishy tasting. However, I left leaving satisfied with the meal! Service was friendly. Parking is not great with the super tight spaces. read more

Nothing special. Just another Canton seafood restaurant. Saturday night wasn't busy, only few tables were full.

After I randomly ate breakfast once at World Seafood, it became my option for seafood. I gave up Top Island once I know World Seafood, they are on the same street several blocks away. World Seafood is cleaner and brighter. The dishes are exquisite and have good taste. Especially the chicken is tender, juicy and delicious, I even drove half hour just for a chicken take away after COVID 's no dine-in. My wife loved the chicken as well. Just as the Top Island, they are famous for King Crab, normally we will have the legs steamed, the body stir-fried, and the york steamed with eggs inside the shell. Almost every dish can be high scored, I won't hesitate to recommend World Seafood to my friends. I don't know whether it re-open the door for dine-in, I will check it in the coming future. Hope everything is going back to normal, not only the World Seafood but also the WORLD. read more

Located off of Garfield & Valley, this is a pretty delicious chinese-vietnamese spot. Menu variety is abundant, lots of great selections. The taste of every dish we've tried so far has been really good. Portion sizes are decent too. Menu prices are a little high for my taste, but it's okay as it is still a good place to go for groups and parties. Staff service is the normal standard for a chinese restaurant. Be prepared to constantly needing to wave someone down to get anything. Ambiance can be quiet to a little chatty, depending on how many tables are being serviced at the same time. Parking can get pretty difficult here, especially during weekends and holidays. Would definitely recommend that you try at least once. Thanks! read more

It's pricey and the parking is terrible but this place is probably my favorite in the area to get dim sum. One of the most unique thing they offer in their dim sum menu is the shrimp and masago rice noodle roll. I love shrimp rice noodle roll and the twist they threw in with the crispy masago is such a delight! It appears that they are now aware of how special it is too because it used to be priced the same as their regular shrimp w/chives rice noodle roll (C item - $7.29) but has since upgraded to a K item ($8.29) in their newest menu. I know because I was there 2 weeks ago and went today and it has changed! Other favorites include: Pan-fried chived pancake, Baked BBQ Pork Pastry, and Pork bean curd roll. I always get shu mai when I get dim sum - this place is just OK. - No carts; paper menu hence stuff is made to order. That means if you order a bunch of desserts/pastry along with a bunch of steamed stuff at the same time, all the desserts/pastry will come out first - Right now, the per person tea (seating) fee is about $2; come during the weekday and pay your bill before 11am to get it waived - It's one of the pricier dim sum restaurants in the area so that means there's rarely a long wait even during prime dim sum time on the weekends. read more

World Seafood restaurant is a bit pricier compared to other dim sum places in the 626 area. However, I really like the food here as they are perfectly seasoned -- not too salty or too sweet for any of the dishes. This restaurant does not have the carts for you to pick the item yourself, so you will have to fill out your order on the form. The server will bring your order back to the kitchen and bring the food out for you when it's ready. Ambiance vise, I would say pretty noisy as everyone is chatting there like the typical dimsum environment. read more
