The Best Restaurants In The San Gabriel Valley - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Some people will say the pinnacle of a seafood feast is digging through a plastic bag of boiled shrimp in Cajun seasoning. Those people have clearly never been to Newport Seafood. This Chinese-Vietnamese restaurant has been hosting rowdy birthday gatherings and family-sized banquets for decades. And if there’s one constant on every lazy susan in its gleaming dining room, it's their famous house special lobster: a four-plus pound behemoth that’s wok-fried and drenched in a rich, buttery sauce with scallions, jalapeños, and ginger. But Newport Seafood isn’t just a one-hit wonder—the fried rice, clams, and shaking beef are also fantastic staples." - cathy park, sylvio martins, brant cox, andrew ryce
