Sea Food Paradise

Always a great experience here. Ordered for a party which included: Peking Duck with Buns, Vegetable delight - mixed, with tofu; Mongolian Beef, Walnut Shrimp, House Special Fried Rice, and whole Deep Fried fish with sauces on the side. Everything was so delicious.

Serving delicious Dim Sum up to 3pm. Food, any food they serve on the menu is a delight. From Thursday to Sunday at night, it becomes a dancing & singing hall, while having dinner!

Relative to other Chinese restaurants, this place is excellent. We were too late for dim sum, but the regular entrees were delicious. The seafood, fish and lobster, were not overcooked. The atmosphere is unusual. It is setup like a dance hall with seating around the dance floor. The decorations are slightly surreal and a hybrid of a wedding and funeral. Service was very attentive.

Bustling dim sum restaurant on the weekends. There's usually a wait for large groups of 6 or more. There were only 4 of us so we were seated right away. I love dim sum places where they still push the carts around. The ladies were all very helpful. If we tell them what we are looking for and they don't have it in their cart, they will go hunt it down for us too. Service is quick. We were seated and immediately someone came over to ask us what tea we would like. Carts are moving up and down the aisles and everyone seems happy working there. I've been going to this place for years and it seems like their quality and food have improved since the last visit.

Seafood Paradise was a big disappointment for both dim sum and lunch. At $16 per dish, the portions were extremely small and the quality didn’t match the price. While the customer service was friendly, the overall experience just wasn’t worth it.

Sea Food Paradise is a great local spot for dim sum. The aunties are nice and remember you and what you like. I like the bồt chiên with egg because they make it to order so it’s always hot and fresh when it comes out. The rest of the dim sum is ok and does the job, although sometimes it’s not necessary the freshest tasting. They recently decorated for Lunar New Year so it’s cute inside.

The dinning room was decorated well even for a wedding. The staff was diligent to welcome you. The table was covered with a disposable paper. The dinning set appeared to be clean. I ordered dim sums as my lunch but no particular taste except salty.

I've been coming to this place for over 10 years. It is one of the only dim sum places around where the ladies come around offering you their goods. Be ready to start ordering as soon as you sit down. The food is good and filling. Most of the employees have been here for a long time and will recognize you if you're a regular. If you need anything just raise your hand and a server will come your way right away. Good, legit dim sum spot. I've never had to wait in line to eat but the place is always busy.

This is our family's go to for dim sum! If it's your birthday we going here! The owner is so nice! The waiters know us. And food is always on point! We even ask for custom foods such as steamed rice roll with bbq pork inside instead of shrimp and they'll make it for you. The place is always busy, the staff is really helpful.

First time coming here, and I was genuinely impressed. We walked in as a group of 15 on a Saturday night, and they were able to accommodate us,kudos to them! We tried many dishes, and overall I'd say I'm impressed. While not every dish was perfect, the overall experience left me feeling like I'd be happy to come back. Dishes: Kung Pao Chicken - Lots of chicken, but it was missing a flavorful punch. Clam with Basil - Delicious. The clams weren't rubbery and had a great basil flavor. House Special Fish Fillet - Delicious. My favorite item. The fish was fried to perfection and coated in a buttery black pepper sauce. Chow Mein Beef - A complete miss. Didn't have much flavor. Fried Tofu - It was okay. The tofu wasn't crispy enough and had a weird aftertaste with the sauce. Mongolian Beef - Delicious. The beef was super tender, and there was plenty of it along with onions. Fried Whole Fish - Delicious. The fish was perfectly fried and crispy. Spinach Sautéed with Garlic - Okay, but too much oil. Chow Mein Deep-Fried Hong Kong Style with Beef - The noodles were super crispy, but the sauce lacked umami. Canh Xua - This hit the spot. One of the more flavorful Canh Xua I've had at a restaurant. Calamari - A complete miss. The worst thing we ordered. The calamari had a fishy flavor and a rubbery texture.

I have rated this Chinese restaurant many times and I was never disappointed. This review is only on the food, not the Dim sum part and not on the night club either even though I'll mention it. 1) This restaurant is the only one besides the Furiwa that went out of business, that has fried noodle (chow mein not lo mein) they really fry the noodle, it was crispy and flavorful, other restaurants really cut corners and put some seafood cooked in brown sauce thrown over noodles that were from a can out of a factory, an absolute joke. I had combination chow mein cooked to perfection w shirimp, chicken and beef. 2) Their fried chicken wings were so delicious, you can order w salt and pepper, ginger or butter, I chose butter which is the same special sauce on lobster, it was saucy, finger licking good, enjoy this w rice, a perfect meal, a very generous portion. 3) I had on other occasion Peking pork chops, delicious too 4) Their lobster is always about $1 cheaper per lb than Capital seafood across the street. The Dim sum was a disaster but I'm willing to give them another chance to see if I can raise it to 4 stars. They also have a nice stage but no Big HD screen for projection of slide show. Week ends they have a live band, it becomes a night club and most Vietnamese love dancing, not us, we both have 2 left feet! LOL! In the old days, this was the 1st Chinese restaurant in Little Saigon, there usually was a 40 minutes wait for a table. I recommend my sister to have her next bash here, it's a very relaxing atmosphere, nice ambiance, nice live band playing French oldies that the VN love, what else can she ask for but if she prefers lunch there won't be a band, that's not saying she can't pay for one to entertain the guests, she can afford it. So this restaurant w Chinese Chefs from VN is 4.5 stars, it's quite authentic Chinese food w flambé cooking, underrated but highly recommended.

Review 84/365 Day Challenge This is my 3rd time coming here w my family & friend family for brunch. Big group on 07.06.25 We were seated within right away. Lots of majority known authentic dim sum were available and more. Service was fast and associates were friendly. Don't get discouraged w them non speaking English with some attendant going around with the dim sum cart. Dim sum is fresh & served hot. The cafe su da aka Vietnamese coffee is legit n good. Highly recommended. They sell live lobsters & crab. They have a big tank visible in dining area to see. It's a Chinese Vietnamese seafood restaurant. Spacious with lots of seatings. Located in the same plaza as Stater bros. Lots of parking available.

Food is okay here but it takes some time to get drinks from staff. There was an event happening in half of the restaurant so it was pretty loud and I had a headache the whole dining experience unfortunately. The area itself is definitely older and not as unkept.

I came here for a party celebration. The set menu had a mix of different Chinese favorites. The food is on the greasy side, as expected for Chinese food. Flavors were average and service was steady. Plenty of parking. Please come and create your own adventure.

They have Amazing food, dancing and very nice employees. Thank you so much! Having so much fun, dancing and delicious food

Very decent quality dimsum place. I like their pork ribs, fried turnip cake and dumplings. They fry the turnip on the spot for you so it can't get more fresh than that.

Okay wow! I really forgot how good this place was. I wouldn't normally recommend any yumcha/dim sum from Orange County, but the OC has stepped its game up just a tiny, tiny smidge. It was pretty palatable here and the service was particular awesome. A good amount of workers here speak English so that alone is pretty sweet if you don't speak Chinese or Vietnamese too well and that makes you get nervous coming to certain restaurants. I ordered the basics and the siu mai was tasting pretty fresh. Soft, meaty, with big pieces of shrimp inside. My least favorite item was the banh cuon (rice rolls). It was really hot coming out but the texture was really nice.

We tried Paradise Seafood in Westminster and honestly walked away disappointed. I ordered the shaking beef (bo luc lac) and the Yang Chou fried rice. If you're American and just want something that tastes "Asian-inspired," you might enjoy it, but as an ABC (American Born Chinese), I felt both dishes missed the mark on authenticity. The shaking beef is supposed to be made with filet mignon, but I don't think that's what I got. It seemed like a cheaper cut of meat that was tenderized with baking soda. Instead of having the natural bite and texture of real steak, the beef was soft to the point of being mushy almost no chew at all. For a dish that's meant to highlight good quality beef, this was a letdown. The Yang Chou fried rice was average at best. Flavor was flat, and it didn't have that wok hei (the smoky "breath of the wok" you get from a properly cooked fried rice). Ingredients were there, but nothing really stood out, and it tasted more like something you'd get from a takeout spot than a restaurant that's supposed to specialize in seafood and Chinese/Vietnamese dishes. Service was fine and the restaurant is clean, but food quality and authenticity just aren't there. If you're looking for real Vietnamese or Chinese flavors, there are plenty of better options in Westminster.

Dim Sum is always good as comfort food. Thurs is a quieter lunch time - less crowded, less hurried and still the enormous variety of tasty nibbles to choose from the menu of photos to order - like in older days - or from the lady who pushes the carts of steamed savories , of deep fried goodness - now the women wear masks to protect themselves. The service is good, not intrusive beyond initial service as older standards of tradition of quiet. Efficiency. meeting unreal expectations. I guess I m very old and old fashion and remember the history behind Dim Sum. I appreciate the quality and quantity still provided. It's different now Eeventually it will become another relic due to inflation & faster everything. Just my opinion We who know and experience Dim Sum over the past years have been fortunate for the experience of yum cha particular in earlier forms . For 2 SCs, we only share a few 'plates' . Good & satisfying.

Best to come on the weekend when it's busy because the food is fresher. This place will fix your dim sum cravings since it has a variety We like their shrimp ball, sushi, pea sprouts, shrimp noodle, xui Mai, Chao, and chicken feet.

Dim sum is just as good as seafood cove 2, with the traditional cart going around. I only give it four stars because their service could be better

It's been ages since I've been here, came for dim sum. I arrived shortly after 11 on a Sunday. The dim sum was good. The service was good and I thought the prices were reasonable. The place was clean for Chinese restaurant standards. The dim sum carts were plentiful and the waitresses were attentive. I recommend to come here for dim sum

Yum yum dim sum. When it the area and looking for good dim sum this is the place to stop for good food, authentic cart ladies yelling at you. It's the perfect mixture of stereotypical dim sum experience. Prices are low food is great and noise level through the roof. Highly recommend, and if you are not treated rudely they you're doing something wrong

My review is based upon dining for a wedding ceremony for my family. They turned the restaurant into a banquet style venue, and it was nicely decorated where they made use of the stage for the ceremony. There were waiters everywhere and they served us ice in metal bowls which I thought was quite strange, but they did refill it often when we ran out. Our dinner was served course by course and was meant to be shared family style. I wasn't too thrilled with some of the choices as I didn't enjoy the first appetizer of seaweed salad and assorted squid and clams. Next, we got their crab egg drop soup which was admittedly bland. For fried dishes we received fried shrimp balls, deep fried taro, fried salt and pepper fish, quail, and fried rice. A lot of the food was quite heavy, but the fried items were tasty. For seafood items, the salt and pepper lobster were delicious, and my family devoured this! We also ate abalone and stir-fried vegetables, however, some of the mushrooms in the dish didn't taste quite fresh. Overall, the establishment was clean, and service is a bit spotty given it is a traditional Chinese restaurant. You won't get the best service, and you will find them cleaning at random times, but you will get very authentic Chinese food!

Went in on Easter morning and waited no more than 10 minutes for a party of 4. The restaurant is very hectic, but it's awesome. Everyone works together to get you what you are asking for. We ordered fresh fried lobster which was the star of the show. Their dim sum was delicious. I was just disappointed they didn't have the wet roll with beef. The duck was delicious as well. I highly recommend coming to this location if you don't want to wait as long as Seafood Cove 2.

Everything was fresh and tasty. Driven by here for years and decided to stop in. We were not disappointed

Came here with a group of friends, mostly Asian and from garden grove/Westminster/Irvine (cause apparently it matters). We've been to a lot of other places for Dim Sum but this was great, service was attentive and proactive. There was karaoke that was fun and added to the ambiance on Sunday night (not too loud). I'd be weary of the reviews from self described ABC's ("Asian born Chinese") with not a lick of Asian in them.

I've only been to this place on the weekends to eat dim sum with the family. Aside from the classics, they offer a wider variety of selections compared to some other places. The quality of the food is pretty consistent for the most part. On weekends, the wait can be pretty long if you're going with a big party, but usually parties of 3-4 can be seated rather quickly. The seating inside is spacious and the location has a large parking lot.

My favorite dim sum spot, I love that every time I come there's no wait and I'm immediately seated. The dim sum has always been so consistent and the service here is surprisingly really good for a Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant. My favorites are Shiu Mai, Salt and Pepper Squid, & Honey Walnut Shrimp. It is a little more expensive compared to other dim sum spots, but I do think it's worth it. The restaurant is very clean and has spacious seating/parking lot. ig: @cravingswithcat

This place is my all time favorite dim sum spot in the OC. Their portion food sizes are pretty decent compared to places in the SGV. The top things to get: Yang Chow fried rice, kung pao chicken, honey walnut shrimp, crispy fried seafood noodles, siu mai, lotus chicken wrap, and sushi (fried shrimp rolls). The service is what it is. Not good and not bad. Remember the sweet spot for an Asian place to eat is 3 1/2 stars which means the food is good but the service sucks. Overall, this place used to be really super affordable for two people we could get full for $40. Now, with a party of 4 it cost about $120. Damn inflation.

I grew up coming here almost every Saturday night and remember waiting for what felt like hours to eat here. It was always busy due to weddings and parties. Haven't been here in a couple years but the food does not disappoint and is still as good as I remember. Staff are friendly and helpful. The music and entertainment is fun. But the seafood is fresh and they are quick with bringing your food out. Will definitely come here more.

Sea Food Paradise is a great local spot for dim sum. The aunties are nice and remember you and what you like. I always appreciate the service. I like the bot chien with egg because they make it to order so it's always hot and fresh when it comes out. The rest of the dim sum is ok and does the job, although sometimes it's not the freshest tasting. They recently decorated for Lunar New Year so it's cute inside.

We've been coming here for more than 20 years. They upgraded the inside look and it's a little less crowded. There is always a wait on the weekends so be prepared that you may wait 20 minutes. It goes by fast though. Parking may be difficult so find street parking instead of inside the plaza. Plus it's easier to just get out. It's a major busy street so be careful. The food is all fresh. Dim sum is good, the only thing I didn't like too much was their porridge. Other places the egg is put on top, but here they cut the eggs and it's mixed into it. I guess it's good because you get more egg, but I prefer to have more of the porridge taste. Their usual dim sum orders are all good, but their snow pea are the big leaf kind, or the tiny sprout kind. So that's another different thing. The BBQ Bao, Shrimp Rice Noodle (always a favorite), Shomai, Pork Ribs, Shrimp Egg Roll, Sticky Rice, Futbol (sticky dough with meat inside), Honey Walnut Shrimp, and Puto are always good. Plus you can order from their menu if you like. You can't go wrong here. But your eyes are gonna wanna order everything for the carts.

Been eating a lot of Chinese food the past few days that I'm visiting in LA, and now everything tastes the same, and it's gotten even more oily. Took some pics but the food keeps going to our table, so I missed a few. The inside of the siu mai was pretty red, and idk why it's red. It looks kinda raw & not fully cooked. The inside was so crowded on a weekend, and the staff was bustling through everyone's table. This is like your go-to dim sum place with your family. This place isn't that good, but it got the job done with our family.

Me and my family have been gathering at Seafood Paradise since 1985!!! Service is good specially during DimSum so fresh and tasty

It's nice to be able to still find these restaurants that serve dim sum from the cart. Best of all, they do it every day. Food: The food selection was average. They had all the normal selections of dim sum and also a menu to order lunch entrees. When the food was served, it came out piping hot from the carts. Quality wise it was good, something we would order again. Hot tea was complimentary, but they didn't have an option for soft drinks. Service: Being that this was in Little Saigon, we did not have high quality expectations. But we were seated very quickly upon entering (it was around noon on a weekday). The people pushing the carts were friendly and not too pushy or rushing us to order. We also got our check quickly and they took credit cards. Ambiance: There was plenty of seating on a weekday. The venue looked like it hosts weddings and other large events regularly. They can also host large or small groups with different size tables. If in Orange County, check this place out for a good dim sum lunch experience that is quick and easy.

My wife and I came to eat dimsum on a weekday. Two of our five dishes were spoiled. One was the tofu wrap with meat inside and the other was a taro with meat inside. We were there on Wednesday and I suspect that these were leftover from the weekend. The lady pushing the cart asked if we wanted to warm up one of the two spoiled items. To my surprise, after the complaint there still tried to sell the items that were spoiled.

Food was edible but they host concerts and karaoke competition, which was fun to attend.

Had our Sunday dim sum and Chinese food here. Food wasn't bad although we tried the sweet rice cake and it had a weird aftertaste to It. The shumai tasted good, nothing over the top but simple and delicious. The fried rice hit the spot. It was definitely busy and crowded but service was good and on point. The atmosphere was hectic and busy but it was spacious enough in there to not feel Congested. Go Give it a try it's pretty good!

Dear seafood paradise, It was a traumatizing dining experience. The host was angry and upset. He had his back towards customers the whole time while he was looking at the dining room. We had to wave down four people before we can put in our drink order . If you have questions about the menu, don't bother because they will not give you a clear answer when you need to order something they will point you to five other people before someone will come 45 minutes later to take your order. The food is barely OK but the service was so horrible that we will never be coming back. Our bill was $110 and they did not give us an itemized receipt. We sat for two hours and got so tired. We just wanted to pay and leave. Please respect your customers and offer the itemized receipt without us having to try to chase you down. Navigating the parking lot is already an issue so with the horrible service, it makes it terrible All the workers look really stressed out because management is problematic

I have came here before but I think it was a long time ago. This place is 5 minutes away from my house. Today, I went here with my dad, my sister, and her brother. We got Har gow, siu mai, chicken feet, shrimp wonton, shrimp cheung fun, shrimp seaweed roll, calamari squid, and more. The har gow was delicious, smooth, and great flavor. I would give this a 5/5 since this is a good staple for dim sum. The siu mai is a classic it was delicious, smooth, and savory. I would give this a 5/5 as well since this is my favorite dim sum. The chicken feet were flavorful, delicious, and easy to chew. There is a lot of bones so be aware when you eat them. I would give this a 5/5 since chicken feet were honestly delicious. The shrimp wontons were crispy, smooth and delicious but the sauce is okay not like the best. I would give it a 4/5 since the sauce was not it for me. The shrimp cheung fun was delicious, great flavor, and texture was smooth. I would give this a 5/5 since I love dim sum like this. The calamari was okay since I'm not used to seeing calamari in dim sum. I would give it a 3/5 since it was a decent dish. The banh cam (deep-fried glutinous rice ball) was okay since the rice ball was very doughy, big, and dau xanh was decent since I'm used to seeing it bright yellow. I would give it a 3/5 since it was too doughy for me. The service was fast & employee is very nice and friendly. The store has a great atmosphere, spacious, and clean. I would definitely come back here to have a delicious dim sum.

Great food and service. Lots of Din Sung carts coming to your table and the service is excellent.

Love coming here Sunday brunch Dim Sum! The food is consistent, service is relatively quick for how busy they can be. Overall, I enjoy coming here.

Awesome dim sum location! My mom really liked how there wasn't a long wait. The food quality was also pretty good and they had great options! The restaurant is pretty small, but always seemed to have tables opened. The service was okay, but they seemed low on staff and everyone was hustling so that might be why. The thing about dim sum where they walk around with the carts is that they don't tell you the prices out front. You kind of just order and they stamp your ticket with the price of each item. So keep that in mind if you've never been and are worried about pricing. Will definitely be coming back! :)

A dim spot that still pushes carts! Growing up in Orange County my whole life, this restaurant has been our go to dim sum spot. The service is great, and the food is solid. The main downside in my opinion would be the price is a little on the high side. There are better deals in the SGV area, but for those that live in OC you can't go wrong with Seafood Paradise Restaurant.

First time going to seafood paradise for dinner (visited for dimsum before). We had a reservation for 12 ppl and was seated quickly when we came. Now onto the food... wow everything was so good. The owner gave a birthday shoutout to our birthday girl up on stage and even sang a bday song! Then they had more ppl come up and sing on stage! It was very fun and lively, we enjoyed the free entertainment!

Upon reviewing the restaurant bill, the sales tax appears to be incorrectly calculated at 9.25%. The accurate sales tax rate should be 7.75%. This discrepancy requires further investigation.

A very solid spot for dim sum in OC. We were gonna go to Seafood Cove but 2 hours wait is just not worth it. We enjoyed all of the items we got here and they all tasted so delicious! I loved how they still served dim sum with the cart, super fun to dine in! All the cart ladies were friendly and very helpful. They can speak English, Vietnamese, and Chinese here. My only issue was some fried items are cold but the cart ladies offered to heat them up for us. Lots of parking here and no wait usually during the weekend.

A standard Vietnamese dim sum spot. It was a little crowded for weekend lunch, so we waited around 20 minutes and it was also sometimes difficult to get the waiters attention when they were pushing the dim sum carts around.

Still a great place for traditional Dim Sum! They serve on those little carts with the waitresses pushing it around. Half the time they don't speak English and you just have to point to what you like but it's part of the experience! My faves are the shui mai, dumplings, fried shrimp in seaweed , sesame balls, and fried dumplings. They serve more than just seafood too. They also have a full menu you can order from if needed.

I came here for a dinner party. Little did I know it was not a private party, and there would be 2 other parties joining us. I guess they combine large parties in the whole place and you celebrate together which I don't mind because you would be dining with other people anyways at any other restaurant. The only downside to having multiple tables assigned to different parties is that they don't all order the same food. They brought out the wrong food to several tables and someone from our group took food off the plate (thinking it was for us) before it was taken away. They also brought the wrong cake to some tables. The food was delicious though. I enjoyed the lobster and noodles. There were only coke and 7up bottles at each table. It would have been nice if they could have provided water pitchers. They did provide ice bowls though. This place seems fun for older adults especially if you like to sing or dance to Viet music. I like that they dim the light but it's too loud to have conversations.

First time here because our favorite dim sum had a long wait! The place was busy and the restaurant uses their location as an event hall as well. Dim sum was overall okay, I would not eat their fried foods tho. Portions were big.

Fast and friendly service. Got there at 10am on a Saturday and it was not busy so we were seated right away. It got really busy starting around 11am and by the time we left, it was full. They have the push carts here. Each dish was pretty good and fresh. Definitely one of the top dim sum spots in OC I've tried. Would come back again for sure. Everything in the photo was about $130.

Thank you for some great Peaking Duck! Saved the day from another Restaurant! You are always good!

The food is always hot delicious and the carts are always filled with amazing assortment of dim sum. The service from Nancy is world class the waiters and hostess always make sure to check up on the customers. Great food, service and a clean atmosphere is always appreciated. This is a must try dim sum house.

This is our 2nd time here. However this second visit, we noticed less dim-sum were in the carts. Though we still got full and satisfied.
