Seafood Cove 2

Honestly the best authentic Chinese food! The restaurant is so beautiful, clean and festive. Serving staff friendly and attentive. We had dim sum, house special lobster, sautéed pea sprouts. Everything is fresh and delicious. We ended the meal with freshly baked, crispy, flaky egg tarts and the most delicious egg custard buns. My tummy is so happy and so am I! Definitely will come back to try more yummy food.

Service, menu selection, atmosphere are all outstanding. They have all of the dishes available for dim sum and many of the higher end dishes for dinner. Fried flounder, whole chicken, salt and pepper lobster. We enjoyed the variety available and got to try new dishes that we traditionally don’t see at our primary dim sum restaurants. However, every dish was a little under seasoned for our taste.

Great spot for fried lobster and crab and shrimp. it's in a mall that feels a bit run down and could use a little surface renovation. The service was good. The food was the real winner. Fried lobster was excellent. Fried shrimp was also great. We're a family of 4 and had plenty leftover to take home.

Seafood Cove 2 offers a wide variety of dishes. However, the Chinese donuts were a bit old and not fresh, and the pot stickers were quite tough. Despite that, the overall flavors were good, and the dining experience was enjoyable.

Is this some life-changing, five-star culinary masterpiece? Hard no. Will you be posting about it like you just discovered the eighth wonder of the world? Also no. But here’s the thing—it doesn’t have to be. This place wins because it’s rock-solid consistent. Every. Single. Time. You get quick, smiling service. You get hot, juicy dim sum that actually tastes like it’s supposed to. You get a chill, no-drama vibe where you can just relax and eat without overthinking it. No surprises. No disappointments. Just good food, good value, and a good time. We roll through here at least once a month because it’s reliable, it’s delicious, and honestly, sometimes you just want to stuff your face in peace without needing to “curate a dining experience.” It’s simple: show up hungry, leave happy. Grab your people, share some plates, and get full the fun way.

Laidback atmosphere and really consistent, tasty food. It can get busy but if you go early there won't be a wait (and the wait is worth it anyway) Lots of good options at reasonable prices. I don't think we had anything we didn't enjoy.

Customer service was fantastic and the food hit the spot. Okay… but first, let me clear up with confused the heck out of me. There are two stories and Seafood Cove is on the first AND second floor. Go into the first floor and the stairs will lead you upstair to the actual restaurant. I was craving chow mein and many other foods. Remember, your stomach is not as big as your eyes. We ordered… Chinese broccoli, pot stickers ,Shui Mai, bbq pork noodle rolls, soup dumplings, har gow, Thai tea, penny worth, and chowmein. All was delicious.

Great Chinese restaurant for dim sum. Just don’t order their fried rice, that’s the only thing that I dont like on the menu. Their fried rice is so wet.

Location: in a busy busy plaza. Be prepared to look for parking, especially on the weekends. Restaurant is clean inside. Large space for big parties too. Food: very good dim sum!! Always a favorite to visit. Quick service to bring food to table. Recommend to all!!

I hardly ever type up reviews, but I feel like I need to express my experience at this location Walking in, I knew I had to wait a long time for a table just because there was such a long wait But I did not think that I had to wait a longer time to be served once I did get a table The one thing that I received was a Thai tea and some potstickers from a lady that's walking around asking if I want it, but not once that a staff member show up and approached me and asked me if I was ready to order when I was ready to order I sat at that table for more than 15 minutes and not one staff member acknowledged me the only person that approached me asked me if I was ready to order and then walked away. I was thinking maybe she's going to get my server but no all I did was sit there and wait this was one of the most worst experiences ever I was really looking forward to trying the food, maybe others may have a better experience but for me, I do not see myself going back to this place Be prepared to wait a long time to order your food and if you're lucky to order you food right away, take advantage of it because they will not come back to take more orders

Such a nice experience today. There were lots of ppl waiting for tables. We entered onto the waitlist and it'll be 20mins or so for a table for 2. While we were waiting for our table, a little girl came in and was getting ready to help seat ppl. Cute little thing who is the owner's grandchild or something. She sat us down and we watched her call and seat after us, not shy and so in command. We were seated and food order was taken. Ordered a bunch of dim sum and all were promptly brought out. Food was good and quite enjoyable. All the servers were very attentive to refill our tea pot a few times. Definitely will return when we are in town.

I've been a loyal frequent diner for over 35 years, despite only being 21. Time travel? Maybe.... What's not a maybe is how this place is always packed. I used to make my brother get on the waitlist an hour early just to avoid standing around, but now, I've mastered the art of early mornings and show up when they open--because I'm a grown-up... and apparently we don't need sleep like we used to. The dim sum here is still chef's kiss and legit--authentic, fresh, and straight-up delicious. It's definitely hands down. the best in Orange County, but the one thing I miss? The push carts. No more grandma wheeling over steamed buns to my table with a smile. Now it's just menus and apps, but hey, at least the food is still killer. It's worth the switch, but I'll always remember the good old cart days... Oh by the way, they recently updated it a lil. It's not as "hole in the wall" like it used to be. It's a little nicer. So you can go ahead and bring your non Asian friends. They won't be scared.

I have been craving dim sum so my friend and I stopped by for lunch. Everything was pretty good but not fresh. I like my dim sum steaming hot so this missed the mark for me. It partly satisfied my craving but honestly made me wish I could get better dim sum from SF or something.

Best dim sum in the area! I last came here was last weekend and the restaurant was decorated for Lunar New Year. While most items were available to order from the staff, the carts were going around with the rice rolls. Everything was delicious. I tried the footballs for the first time and boy have I been missing out-- they're so good!! Some other must haves are the siu mai, sticky rice lotus leaf, bbq pork buns (steamed or baked), braised honey comb tripe with pork blood, fried shrimp balls, and Chinese donut.

We came just before they were about to finish up with the dim sum menu so we placed our order for a few things: siu mai, leek dumplings, soup dumplings, steamed shrimp rolls, calamari, sesame balls, and more. My dad doesn't really eat dim sum so we got Chinese broccoli, Thai pineapple fried rice, and fried fish. Everything was tasty! The only thing that was a bit bland was the Thai pineapple fried rice. Even for 5 of us, it was still a lot of food. We had tons of leftovers. Service was quick. Food comes fast. And servers are around to flag down. They made sure to refill our kettle for tea. Parking is difficult here. There are a ton of shops here. We found a spot a bit aways from the building but not far. One plus is that the wait isn't long. We got seated right away. Maybe because dim sum was almost over.

If you love a savory Asian breakfast, dim sum is it. This is the best dim sum spot!! And you can tell by the 2 hour wait on the weekends lol. Love the braised beef tendons, chicken feet, egg yolk bun, shrimp hargow, and "shark fin" dumplings. Service is quick and efficient. Get the passionfruit drink to wash it all down, so refreshing!!

This is one of the most popular places in OC to get dim sum, located in the heart of Westminster's Little Saigon. If you plan to visit on the weekend during prime dim sum hours, be prepared to wait awhile. They don't take reservations, primarily on account of the fact that there are people literally pouring out the doors to get in. Though typically the waits are not too long since this is a high-volume operation and people tend to move through very quickly. Last time we went they only had a few carts circulating, and the primary way to order was through your server. This is usually the best way to get your dim sum relatively quickly without waiting for the carts to come to you. One benefit to them being so busy is that whatever dim sum you order, it will be fresh and hot. The shiu mai is one of my favorites and is pretty tasty here. Though you can't really go wrong with anything. The dining room itself is just a large room that has tables of all different sizes. There are larger tables for bigger groups with turntables in the center, on down to two-person tables. The atmosphere is one of a busy busy cafe and nothing too fancy. But that (hopefully) isn't what you would be looking for by coming here. You will probably also spend quite awhile looking for a parking spot as the lot is only about 60% the size it should be. So plan some time for that as well when you go. Five stars and this should be on your list to try! It's also great for special occasions.

We were in the mood for dim sum and this was the only sit-down restaurant for dim sum nearby so we decided to come here on a Wednesday afternoon. It was busy and limited in parking space because it was tét week. They have a tablet for you to join the Yelp waitlist at the front desk. After waiting 30 min, the app notified me that they need to extend the wait time for another 15-20 min. Ok. Once we were finally seated, they gave us the menu and forgot about us. We waited for about 15 min before I went to the front to let them know we're ready to order. After ordering, the food did come out pretty quick....except the honey walnut shrimp didn't come out until we finished the rest of our food. We actually thought they almost forgot to bring it out lol. They did forgot the rice rolls too but we were pretty full at that point so we didn't bring it up. Honestly, I thought all the dim sum items were just okay. Beef tripe was bland. A lot of them didn't come out very hot and they don't have a lot of food options compared to most places I go to.

This restaurant is always bustling, and there's usually a wait that seems to worth it. This place doesn't seem to ever close, and honestly I feel like it's because the manager Anthony is always seem to be here and always taking good care of everyone I see too. When in OC when authentic Chinese is scarce, I don't mind coming here for Chinese Vietnamese cuisine. The menu here offers a delicious spin on traditional Chinese dishes with a Vietnamese flair, which I honestly love. The house special dishes are very addicting elevated with Vietnamese flavors. In the heart of the Vietnamese community, the Vietnamese herbs and sauces on classic Cantonese recipes turn into a refreshing and flavorful twist. I can look past the Beijing duck made with Cantonese duck, as I can appreciate the fusion here!

For me dim sum always hits the spot, especially after a long night at work. There's nothing like always stuffing our bellies with yumminess, and then going straight to bed when we get home! LOL. You can't go wrong with the classics like their siu mai, har gow, BBQ pork steam buns, and steam shrimp ball, just to name a few. There's never a wait if you arrive as soon as they open! Plenty of tables, and the staff that day was attentive and kept our tea pot full, which helps compliment the dim sum. I will definitely have to try their lobster dish the next time we come back. The picture of it on their wall had me drooling...LOL! Happy eating till next time!

The parking is tricky and so is the walk up the stairs, but the restaurant is nice, clean, and spacious. We ordered dim sum from a menu and they brought it to us a few minutes later. The windows were open and the sun shone in. The staff was exceptionally nice for a Hong Kong style restaurant. The tea was good, but they use tea bags instead of tea leaves. I rather have the leaves, not the bags. They kept coming by asking if we needed anything. It was kind of shocking for this type of restaurant, where we are not used to this level of service. The food was good. Overall, we had a great meal.

Quick service, very good Dim Sum but not mind blowing. I love the vibe and energy here so don't discount that. It's a great spot for your standard dim sum!

Went here for dim sum recently and was happy to see it's still popping as usual. On a Saturday at 1:30pm we had a 40 min wait and they thankfully serve dim sum til 3pm. It's now order off a menu instead of the traditional carts, which is sad, but their food is still 100% on point! Service was also excellent as everyone was very attentive and kept stopping by to ask if we wanted more food. Very impressed!

Best dim sum I've been too! Lots of great options on the menu. Service is fast and food is fantastic.

Wow the staff and vibes continue to amaze me whenever I come back after a while. Our party was very grateful for the friendly, attentive service (something uncommon in many Asian establishments) and the generous portion of every dish we had. What was also nice was that the room felt more spacious and less cramped than before. Not only is the service great, but the food still tastes deliciously balanced and satisfying. For example, the orange chicken wasn't too sugary and actually had a noticeable citrusy flavor, and the deep fried salt and pepper squid wasn't salty or greasy. We got the sizzling beef again, and those juicy flavorful meat cubes have gotta be one of my favorite dishes here. Fried rice actually looked fried but wasn't just oily pieces of rice with some mix-ins; it had many chunks of different proteins and a decent amount of veggies scattered throughout. Parking on a Friday night for dinnertime was surprisingly not packed!? I'm thinking of doing fam gatherings here more often haha. Now highly considering returning in the morning for dim sum to see if the experience will be improved from a few years ago.

The wait is definitely worth it! ^_^ Dim sum is always crazy fresh and perfectly cooked. They have all the popular items as well as a good range of other choices. I highly recommend their har gow, siu mai, and calamari! The restaurant is upstairs and very beautifully decorated like a traditional Chinese restaurant. The only downside about the place is that their prices aren't transparent. There aren't any signs and they weren't posted on the menu so you don't know the prices of the food items until after you get your check. * Har Gow: 10/10 - soft and chewy * Siu Mai: 10/10 - good size and amazing texture * Chicken Feet: 8/10 - not too salty and good sauce * Calamari: 10/10 - crispy and nicely seasoned * Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce: 7/10 - prefer a bowl of oyster sauce instead of just drizzling it * Shrimp Noodle Roll: 10/10 - fresh and so tasty * Nutella Sesame Ball: 10/10 - an awesome dessert Prices: - A: $5.19 - B: $6.19 - C: $7.19 - D: $8.19 - E: $9.19 The workers were nice and everything was brought in at an appropriate time even though they were busy. I highly recommend going on the weekdays because the weekends are crazily packed no matter what time you come. It's located in the very popular Asian Village plaza across Asian Garden Mall so it gets very crowded at peak times. A must-visit when you're in Little Saigon! :)

Seafood Cove is easily one of the best places for dim sum in the Westminster area. Dim sum staples like the typical siu mai, har gow, sticky rice are all outstanding here. Perhaps the best part about this place is that the service is actually very friendly and efficient. They don't offer dim sum carts here but you can order with a paper menu and theres plenty of photos so it makes ordering a breeze. I also appreciate how clean the restaurant is. No sticky dishes and dirty utensils here. Would recommend: * siu mai - the perfect example of a well executed siu mai where there is a perfect harmony of shrimp to pork with neither flavor overpowering each other. Each bite is snappy, slightly sweet and savory. * har gow - the skin isn't the thinnest but this was still good. * lotus sticky rice - the rice is flavorful and very aromatic. I love how much minced meat and chinese sausage they stuff into this. Its perfect with a drizzle of chili oil. * baked egg yolk bun - wish there was more filling. But the bun itself was light, fluffy, and airy. The filling was a nice balance of sweet egg flavor and saltiness. * rice roll with shrimp - rice roll is delicate and soft with each snappy shrimp piece. The sauce is sweet with a strong soy sauce flavor. Also I love how they bring the chili oil and sambal out automatically without having to ask. It just pairs so perfectly for the dim sum dishes. We usually spend about $60-$65 for 4 people which is pretty reasonable. We always have leftovers too. If you're wondering if Seafood Cove is worth the wait, it is! The food quality is fabulous and the service is always great.

I had been waiting to try this place for a while. It was busy when we got there and we waited about 30 minutes for a table. The lobby smelled like chlorine which was coming from the bathrooms nearby. That was a bummer. The service was just ok. Feel a little rushed and I wasn't able to ask questions about the menu. The table next to us had a bigger menu while we only got a page print out. The food was just ok. Nothing was really amazing. We tried about 5-6 different items and they were all forgettable. Not sure I would go back.

Got a big budget or a giant party? Craving ginger lobster? This is the place! Service is pretty fast too. Just know that you have to sign up on Yelp or be prepared to wait in line! The seafood here is pretty solid and they have a good dim sum selection in the morning.

The best dim sum place in SoCal. I have yet to find better in the area. Seafood Cove 2 is legendary for a reason. The food is always delicious and the place is so nostalgic. FYI, there is always a wait for dim sum and the parking is a bit hectic.

A revamped and brighter traditional Chinese restaurant with dimsums and really good seafood and comfort food. The guys that wait on us were polite , fast and no frills . Really enjoyed the open and large dining area . Been coming here for years and the new furniture are a nice upgrade.

Seafood Cove is an excellent place to eat Dim Sum any day of the week! As a matter of fact they have whole menu of Chinese cuisine, aside from the Dim Sum dishes, that can be ordered anytime; but let focus on the Dim Sum craving during the weekdays. The restaurant is located in a 2 floor, it has an elevator for easy access, the tables are nice and comfortable. During the week they don't have the traditional carts with the food, but an illustrated menu for you to order and you can order stuff to go as well. Service was attentive and food was delicious. Of course I'll be back!!

Second attempt to come to this place. Wait time can be very extensive so this time we arrive before 9:30am and was seated right away. Dim sum well worth it!!! Service was very efficient. Limited menu until 1100. More of a reason to come back for lunch or dinner. Amongst everything we had, the football and sesame balls are a must have. Can't wait to return!

Came here around 10am, it was busy, but no line at all yet. Came here with my family party of 5 and got seated fairly quick. The parking lot is huge, but always packed. So be prepared to look for parking for awhile. Our bill came out to $112 so not bad at all, with Vietnamese drinks and Thai tea along with ordering Dim Sum. By 11am on the dot they serve other plates such as Soy Sauce Chow Mein and the shrimps/meat entrees just so you are aware. By 10:30am is when there was a huge line, and it was crowded. People waiting upstairs, outside and downstairs as well. So come at a good time, so you don't have to wait long for a table. Food was good, had flavor and the kids enjoyed every bite!

Eating at Seafood Cove 2 was a warm and nostalgic experience. To start, the wait time was ~40 mins on a Saturday afternoon, and by the time we got seated, we were starving. It was well worth the wait. Food came out super fast and steaming hot--it was all delicious. Har gow, shumai, egg tarts...all the dim sum classics were done well. I think my only complaint would be that the pastries were all quite eggy--this is fine with me but keep that in mind if you're getting a bunch. All in all, loved to find a classic dim sum place with the lazy susans, white tableclothes, and carts with delicious food. The bill wasn't too bad either. It was about $25 per person with tons food and some leftovers. Highly recommend!

This is one of our favorite places to go to for dim sum. Recommended to go when they open. Less ppl and you get seated right away otherwise wait time can be super long for large parties. Typical Chinese type restaurant but cleaner. And for parking, it is plentiful but hectic later in the day. They don't have much of the hot carts going now. Seems like there were some changes from the last time we went (which was a while ago). Only hot cart was the rice cake noodles/rolls and everything else, you had to order with the waiter. Some items are not available until 11am so it does have its con going before that but it's clearly stated on the menu too so you cannot act surprise if it's not available for order. We typically get the sui mai, har gow, taro cake with egg, soup dumplings, beef tripe, Chinese donuts, plain rice noodles, fried taro with scallop and the egg baos. Everything is usually fresh and hot and delicious and comes out fast. Servers are typical. When you see them and need them, best wave them down or else they don't come by as it's super busy in there once more ppl start to arrive. They're usually very friendly so it's not bad getting their attention. Always 10/10 for dim sum for us no matter how long it's been since we last went.

I absolutely love this spot! My sister has been talking about this restaurant for years and I'm happy that I finally got to go here to celebrate thanksgiving earlier today. Who needs turkey when there's lobster?! Seafood Cove 2 is such a great spot to celebrate any occasion. Food was delicious and so so flavorful. Service is so attentive and welcoming. I really enjoyed my experience today and will most definitely be back. My favorite was the lobster & bo luc lac (French Vietnamese shaken beef). Interior is simple yet charming and chandelier lit. Highly recommend!

Came here with 6 of my girlfriends the weekend before CNY and it was a great time! Very lively, service was still very good, ambiance can get a little crowded. The food was decent - I do appreciate all the vegetarian options but just wish they were available before 11:00 AM as well. I will be coming back here soon!

I visited this restaurant recently. They have a wide selection of both dim sum and regular Chinese dishes. My favorite dim sum dish was their turnip cake However, I did not enjoy the salt and pepper tofu dish. The tofu had very little salt and pepper seasoning. The clams with basil dish tasted good. The sauce tasted good on the rice. The service at the restaurant was very friendly and attentive, which I liked. The inside of the restaurant is very big with a lot of seating. The decor is a tad bit outdated.

We just had my brother in law's birthday at Seafood Cove2, the service was great and food was amazing. Special Thanks to the mgr Kevin for accommodating the reservation for 12. Every time it's a wonderful experience

I always come here for the HOUSE SPECIAL LOBSTER NOODLES! Sooo good. I highly recommend if you can splurge a little. This time around, my group came here early morning just for some simple dim sum. We came here at 8:30 AM and it was already really busy!! However, the staff were super quick and we were served with haste. Food came out almost immediately after we ordered. For dim sum, here are my recommendations: + Steamed Beef Tripe + Black Bean Chicken Feet + Football (Ham Sui Gok) + Shrimp Cheung Fan + Beef Chow Fun (after 11am)

This legacy dim sum spot is OC's best! The wait can be long on weekends but it's worth it. The sui mai always has a ton of detectible meat. The lobster noodles were high in flavor with thick lobster pieces. Quick to the point service. They also recently remodeled the inside. Will be back!

Came here for lunch on Christmas week as a recommendation from a friend who lives in OC. At lunch time, this place was packed and parking was difficult to find. However the effort to eat here was definitely worth it. The food is hot, freshly prepared and delicious. The restaurant is clean and run efficiently. We enjoyed it so much that we came back for lunch the next day. This place is better than so many places in the SF Bay Area where we are from. We will definitely eat here again the next time we visit SoCal.

Worth the wait. Parking sucks. Classic dim sum place. Order of the menu for fast service vs waiting on carts. Food is good

Dear seafood cove 2, Amazes me how well the food is and how quickly everyone helps here. The food comes in the carts by quickly during dim sum and we can ask for what we choose and the people will be by us in a few moments. Parking is the challenge so come early and make sure to enjoy all the dish types too. Atmosphere is great too and service up front and at tables has always been great too.

I loved coming to Seafood Cove for the classic dim sum experience, they always had lots of carts rolling around with fresh, steaming hot dim sum dishes. However on my recent trip I was saddened to find out that they no longer do carts and you only order from a menu. While that was a bummer, the ordered food was still very tasty and the service was still very quick and efficient, just as I remembered it. Lots of parking in the plaza, expect lines on a weekend!

My sister picked up some dim sum to celebrate my mom's birthday. To our disappointment, when we opened the to-go boxes, the food was not hot at all! We've ordered to-go from other dim sum places and the food is always still warm by the time we get home. Here, besides the lukewarm porridge, the food was only room temperature. Aside from the temperature, the food was just okay. Soup dumpling is smaller than other dim sum places and little to no soup inside. The siu mai and har gow were alright compared to other places in OC. The Chinese leeks dumpling should be renamed shrimp and leeks dumpling. There was very little leeks in them. I normally order turnip cakes with eggs but decided to order taro cakes with eggs this time. Personally, I like turnip cakes better. I didn't try the steamed BBQ pork buns so I can't comment on that. Overall, the temperature of the food just ruined the taste. It's as if they gave us yesterday's leftover dim sum, but didn't even bother to heat it up. I expect much more from a restaurant that's been around for so long.

Wow. I was surprised how good the dim sum was! The following were 10/10: Turnip cake Black mushroom sui mai (better than the plain one) Shrimp Noodle Roll Calamari Service was quick and the staff were attentive and nice.

This dimsum restaurant is probably the best one I've ever had! This place gets packed so be sure to make reservations ahead of time or arrive early before the crowd. Seafood Cove is located in a huge plaza with many other restaurants and shops. So if you have to wait, you can go exploring until your table is ready. The parking lot is big as well, however, it does get packed very quickly. I'd recommend dropping someone off to go place a name on the waiting list while the driver looks for parking. Seafood Cove is a beautifully designed and welcoming space. It is a very grand, wide open space, and it felt like we entered into a palace with the gold wall and dragon designs. We ordered a variety of small dishes but the ones that stood out had to be the curry lobster. This dish is a must! Their tendon, shrimp rice noodle and honey walnut shrimp had to be my favorites! Even their fried tofu has delicious flavor. We also ordered their Vietnamese coffee which was strong and not too sweet. They have a variety of other drink selections as well, including slushies! Overall, our experience at Seafood Cove was excellent. We will definitely be back again with more people so that we can try more of their other dishes!

Whenever I'm in the area and I want some dim sum this is my go to spot. They open relatively early so I would definitely go before 11 pm if possible. Otherwise it'll get super packed with a 1+ hour wait since a lot of families love coming here to eat. Their dim sum is always delicious and is decently priced. They also have a separate menu for entrees if you have a big family to feed and you're craving for more than just small bites. My favorite dish from here is their porridge and shrimp noodle roll. Of course their xiu mai is yummy as well.

Went on a Saturday morning 30mins or so after opening. There was no wait, we were greeted and seated right away! There was also plenty of parking when we arrived but it definitely got hectic in the waiting area and parking lot when we were leaving. We didn't have to wait for someone to take our order. Pricing was great, for 7 dishes, it was only $48 which compared to the few options in Irvine, is pretty good! The staff was attentive and friendly. This spot does really well with their pricing, efficiency, and wait times! The food wasn't for me, but could also just be what I ordered.

I've never been to this seafood cove location but been to the other one. This location is more on big parties/occasions, if I'm not mistaken. Restaurant is located on the second floor within the plaza. I came here today for a baby shower party. FYI: parking is horrendous especially on the weekends. I want to commend the staffs. They were very attentive, courteous, friendly, and organized. They make sure that we meet our needs (ie beverage, spices, sides). Food service was not bad. They all arrive in a timely manner. The host did the 7-course-meal and Everything tasted scrumptious esp the house special lobster with noodles. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious each time, however no more ladies pushing carts around, you'll need to order from the menu :( sad, otherwise still a good spot for Dim Sum fix

This place will always be a staple when visiting OC! Our go-to restaurant for dim sum and Chinese-Vietnamese food, perfect for parties of any size. The parking lot is always packed but moves quickly, so you won't spend long finding a spot. Despite being Seafood Cove #2, it's the #1 dim sum spot for us. They offer a variety of entrees for dinner, but my personal favorite is the house special squid (think of it as a combination of calamari and orange chicken)! Weekends are the perfect time to come and enjoy your meal, but make sure you get there early!

Quick service, attentive staff a great deal of space and a large menu with many options. Food was fresh and good quality. Been there a few times now it doesn't disappoint

Amazing dim sum! I've grown up eating dim sum out of the 626. A few friends told me about Seafood Cove & finally decided to try it. It's soooo good. I drove out from LA twice to come here in one month. Their turnip cakes are suuuuper good too (not pictured). I love their Shui Mai too, it's super plump & fresh. Their service is super quick & the waiters in the dark blue shirts are super kind and work fast. I'll definitely continue to come back, this is worth the drive!

Seafood Cove is a long standing Chinese restaurant with the first location in Garden Grove opened in 1990. Unlike the first location, this Seafood Cove 2 location (occupies two-story) also has a full dim sum menu from 8:30 AM to 2:45 PM. [Parking]: Free plaza parking and there were few available spots when I arrived at 5:30 AM on Saturday. [Amenities - dinner]: The restaurant is first come, first served and our party was able to get a table immediately as the restaurant was less than 50% packed for Saturday early dinner. The restaurant accepts card payment. Our dinner also ended with a complimentary che (mung bean tapioca dessert). [Menu - dinner]: According to their website, their special dishes are House Special Lobster, Peking Duck, Kung Pao Chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and Clams with Basil Sauce. Lobster is weighted by pound and our server actually brought a live lobster before ... cooking it. The weight was appromxately slightly more than 2 pound and had enough portion for 5 adults. Steam rice is $1.25 per person. *** #22 House Special Lobster (about 2 lb of lobster - seasonal price): Apparently our lobster was possibly missing one claw, but lobster tasted pretty decent & meaty and garlic noodle was alright. #1 Salt & Peppers Spareribs ($18.95): It was alright and it had slightly more bones than meats. #52 Honey Walnut Shrimp ($23.95): A bit expensive and portion was slightly underwhelming, but the dish tasted pretty good. *** Overall it was a so-so dinner experience - a very typical Chinese family style dinner with nothing to write home about.
