For years, Kim Tar Seafood Restaurant on Garvey Avenue has been a mandatory stop whenever passing…read morethrough the San Gabriel Valley--a dependable benchmark for classic, wok-fired Cantonese comfort. Sadly, a recent return to this 626 fixture revealed a kitchen and floor staff operating well below their historical standards, marring a once-reliable staple with execution errors and noticeable ingredient fatigue. The meal faltered early with the Crispy Seafood Noodles. While the fried noodle nest retained a decent crunch beneath the gravy, the sauce itself was aggressively salty, completely overpowering any delicate aromatics. Worse, the squid had lost its clean snap, carrying a tired, dull flavor profile that pointed directly to subpar freshness. The Stir-Fried String Beans suffered an identical fate: heavy-handed seasoning completely masked the natural sweetness and texture of the greens under a wall of sodium. Shellfish fared no better. The Clams with Basil, traditionally a dish celebrated for herbal brightness and briny sweetness, arrived drowning in an overly sharp, vinegary reduction that threw the entire balance out of alignment while doing little to conceal shellfish that tasted distinctly past its prime. The lone neutral entry was the Fried Lobster with Special Sauce and Butter. Crisp and moderately savory, it avoided the technical blunders of the preceding dishes, yet it lacked the rich aromatic depth, distinct wok hei, or luxurious buttery finish expected of a marquee live seafood course. It was merely passable. The dining room experience compounded the kitchen's missteps. Service has devolved into pure mechanical drop-off: plates were unceremoniously abandoned at the table, after which the floor staff vanished entirely without a single check-in, water refill, or mid-meal clearing. Watching a longstanding favorite decline is always disheartening. Until Kim Tar addresses its inconsistent ingredient sourcing, kitchen seasoning calibration, and disengaged front-of-house presence, it is difficult to justify a detour to this former SGV institution.

For the price of food and the amount you get, I can't complain! The flavor of their own seafood boil sauce (boom sauce?) is a standard seafood boil flavor, it's legit. The flavors don't overwhelm you and make you wanna go to the toilet right away, you know what I mean? The family pack comes with 3 corn on the cob, 3 sausage pieces and 3 potatoes (like a medium sized potato!) it was good but I wish the seafood had time to sit in the sauce, you can tell the food was dumped on the sauce. We had to fight to scoop some sauce onto our mussels cause the bag was so full of food- what a good problem to have. Maybe the sauce is a bit thin? Maybe that's why it didn't stick to the food? Service was good, the ladies were attentive and professional. The decor looked like this place was known to be a bar- I mean there's a huge bar to the side. There's even a second floor but no one was seated there so it doesn't look used. Cute decor with the sea theme. Not happy about their toilet in the women's restroom. There's a a sign saying to please not dispose the toilet seat covers in the toilet cause it could clog it up. I was being a nice person and went to the trouble of respecting their wishes. It was gross as I was being careful not to touch the peed parts of the toilet seat cover. Don't judge me, only God can judge me! Come here to feed your family and friends at a very reasonable price! And if you're a lady you're gonna have to hover while you pee if you don't want to deal with the toilet seat cover disposal issue...

From the outside it's a hole in the wall, but inside is pretty spacious for larger families to dine. My husband's aunt reserved a few tables for her birthday, so we sat in the corner area. The tea is not fragrant like other restaurants, but it'll do. I like that they give you disposable plastic cups for water too. Soup and rice was complimentary. Thought it was herbal soup, but it was some kind of seaweed soup. I was hungry, so everything tasted good, except for the fried fish (a bit dry). Parking sucks, so you'll have to park across the street.

However, most of the items on the menu were not available.. strange. My aunts friend wanted to take us here specifically for the fried garlic crab. However, personally, I was not a fan because it's just too much work to break down the crab just for a little bit of meat. My favorite that night was probably the fried tofu. They definitely did that very well. We also got a lot of other dishes like the clay pot rice, chicken, clams, seafood crispy noodles, and other foods I can't remember. Overall, just okay for me. I don't think I would necessarily come back.

We got the steamed sole$90 and the lobster which is about $250 and that's expected. I am missing about four dishes that I didn't get to take a photo because in between the service was a little slow. Some of our food came out slightly more than room temperature which tells me that they probably have a lot of this pumping out. Nonetheless, the food was good. Our family enjoyed it with about nine dishes. We paid 650 with tax and tip.

The food here is absolutely solid. They know exactly what to do if you want a large group meal. They have set menus, but I just ordered all things that we like to eat. Extra shoutout for the cucumbers. The way they do they is truly deeeeelicious. I would reserve a room in advance. They told me there's no need to preorder the banquet menu as well, if you want an easy, set last minute big meal!

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.
