Seafood Palace

I had an amazing dining experience here! The Garlic Fried Crab was perfectly crispy and flavorful, while the dry-style Beef Chow Fun was packed with smoky, savory goodness. The portions were generous, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. The service was friendly and attentive, making the meal even more enjoyable. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes from their menu!

If you’re looking for authentic Cantonese seafood, this is the place to go! The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were spot on. Every dish was cooked to perfection, from the succulent steamed fish to the flavorful garlic butter lobster. The service was attentive, and the staff made great recommendations. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!

I went to Seafood Palace for this Chinese New Year with my family this year. Actually, they really surprised me for their great food and services. I like their fried crab and fried shrimp a lot. They fried them in a very special sauce and special way which we usually cannot make it at home. Their price is very reasonable too. Love this place!

Seafood Palace is a great spot for fresh and flavorful seafood. The portions are generous, and the dishes are well-seasoned. The service is friendly, but it can get busy during peak hours. The restaurant has a casual and comfortable atmosphere. Overall, it’s a solid choice for seafood lovers.

Been coming here for years and they are consistent with their quality and service. Always get the chicken and crab and beef dishes. The dishes are not overly salty but a bit of the sweeter side since it’s a lot of Shanghainese style dishes.

If you’re looking for a great spot for a gathering, this place is a must-try! The selection is awesome, the food is fresh, and the portions are generous. The staff is super friendly and makes sure I have a great time. Can’t wait to come back!

This is a very authentic Cantonese restaurant and I love Cantonese food so much that I go back for morning tea on weekends. I also love his stir fry, it tastes exactly the same as what you get in China. The congee is the most recommended.

The deco is clean and modern, The food and service is quite good for a Chinese restaurant. The shrimp is large and fresh, and the taste is very succulent. This is a good option for a large crowd and gathering. There are no condiments on the table, you would need to ask for salt, pepper, hot sauce, etc. Parking is somewhat limited, there is some street parking available. Many regular patrons park at the bank parking spot during non business hours and walk over. The waiter at this restaurant speaks Cantonese, Mandarin and English as well. For their lunch special this restaurant charges $1.80 for a bowl of white rice. Many regular patrons would order fried rice instead as the portion is very generous. Many people order take out as well, there is a long table for take out pick up.

Seafood Palace, Bi Feng Tang in Chinese, is an established restaurant chain that originated in China and is known for specialty seafood dishes. It's a Cantonese seafood restaurant with Chiu Chow/Southeast Asian influences. Nice and clean traditional Chinese restaurant atmosphere with some dishes shown in big colorful photos surrounding the dining room on the walls. This is one of our family's gathering spots in SGV. Food was authentic and traditional. Servers were efficient and attentive to our needs. This place has many unique dishes that's hard to be found elsewhere. Dishes were flavorful and well prepared. A must order dish every time we're here is their signature house special crab with a lot of fried minced garlic. It's fresh and sweet with just the right amount of flavor. The choices for dining in SGV seem endless and we have always enjoyed Seafood Palace where you can get a great taste of Cantonese/Chiu Chow cuisine.

The environment is very nice and hygienic. The food is delicious! Highly recommended! The price is very reasonable! The service attitude is good.

If I have to describe this Chiu Chow family style seafood restaurant in one word, then that word would be uninspiring. The original flagship restaurant is located in Monterey Park and this Temple City location is a sister restaurant. Renowned LA Times food critic Jonathan Gold wrote an article about Seafood Palace in Monterey Park and gave his approval on the house-special crab in 2015 (https://www.latimes.com/food/jonathan-gold/la-fo-gold-seafood-palace-20151128-story.html). [Parking]: Easy and free parking behind the restaurant. [Ordering]: The restaurant was only less than 25% packed on Saturday at 5:30 PM. Our party was able to grab a table immediately and the food came out 5 - 10 minutes after placing an order. [Menu]: Per Jonathan Gold's article, recommendations include house-special fried crab (#42), sauteed scallops with asparagus (#69), Chinese lettuce Chiu Chow style (#45), fried snow fish with garlic sauce (#27), house-special steamed chicken (#28), salted-fish-and-chicken fried rice (#122), and baked squid (#68). The restaurant offers lunch special on Monday to Sunday from 11 AM to 4:30 PM (Monday to Friday lunch special order also comes with one free soup and one free white rice per person & dine-in only). All lunch specials are not available on all holidays. $2 per person on rice. *** #10 Minced Chicken w/ Sweet Corn Soup ($15.99): A pretty boring soup and I wouldn't recommend it. #28 House Special Chicken ($15.99 for half chicken): Slightly better than average and the dipping ginger sauce was not bad, but it didn't taste super amazing. #42 House Special Crab (seasonal price - $69.99): The signature dish really fell flat and I didn't really see the appeal at all. #56 Honey Walnut Creamy Shrimp ($22.99): The dish was recommended via Yelp highlights and it was certainly the best dish of the night. Excellent flavors and one can easily get hook on these creamy shrimps. #?? Salt and Pepper Pork Chop ($16.99): Pork chop pieces were fried nicely, but it lacked salt and pepper so I couldn't really taste any extra kicks. *** Maybe our party should've done a little bit more research ahead of time and go for few other items that are outside of our comfort zone. However most dishes our party ordered tasted just alright.

House Special Crab. Fried with a ton of garlic, bring a few people to help you. That's really all I want to say, House Special Crab - just do it. Other dishes I enjoyed were Pea Shoots and Bean Curb with Mushrooms. But don't sleep on the crab!

Seafood Palace is really amazing! As soon as the Typhoon Shelter Crab is served, the golden and crispy garlic fragrance comes wafting over. The crab meat is fresh, tender and springy. Every bite is extremely satisfying.

海鲜爱好者的天堂！Seafood Palace 的海鲜 新鲜又美味，每一道菜都能品尝到大海的味道。螃蟹、龙虾、虾仁、贝类样样齐全，调味恰到好处，分量也很足。环境优雅，服务周到，让人吃得特别满足。绝对是吃海鲜的最佳选择，强烈推荐！

A traditional Chinese seafood restaurant at its best! If you're looking for a delicious seafood restaurant with reasonable prices, this is the place to go! They have two nice private dining rooms with contemporary artwork that you can reserve. Perfect for graduation dinners and other celebrations. I recommend the shrimp and scallops.

I have been coming to this restaurant for years, and although the prices have risen, the quality has stayed the same. It is usually very busy inside but the servers do a great job at seating you quickly. If you come with a larger group of people, then the wait times can get pretty long around dinner time. However, you could always order the food to-go, which is what I typically do. The inside of the restaurant is very welcoming and spacious. It is structured like a typical Chinese restaurant, with a lot of indoor seating and larger tables available for bigger parties. It has also been recently remodeled, and looks much better than it did a few years ago. The house special garlic crab is my favorite dish to get. I typically order around 2 pounds of it with my family, and it's just the right amount for three people. It's extremely flavorful and is fried to perfection. It tastes great on its own, but can also be eaten with rice to make it more filling. The crab is also very easy to peel and sometimes I don't even need to use tools when eating it. Another one of my go-to dishes would be the pan-fried string beans. They're a bit salty by themselves, but are great with rice. It also comes in a large enough serving to share with the whole family. Overall, I really enjoy the food and service here. I will most likely continue coming here, despite the prices going up. This is a great traditional Chinese restaurant to try, especially if you enjoy seafood like I do.

I was craving crispy chow mein and decided to stray from my usual go-to restaurants. I remember the food here being good, and I haven't been here in years. I wasn't sure what to expect; seeing the pandemic might have impacted the quality. Food: Beef chow mein - This was the best crispy chow mein I've had in a long long time. The sauce was well-flavored. The noodles were not soaked in oil, and the overall dish did not taste greasy. This was the first time I can remember having this dish, not greasy! I didn't feel sluggish after eating the whole thing! My only complaint is that the vegetables were cooked a little more than I'd like. Service: The guy who took my order sounded very friendly. When I arrived, he knew my order and was again very friendly. Environment: They remodeled here. I don't recall it looking so clean and nice. It looks more upscale (in a traditional sense) than most Chinese restaurants. Price: They have plenty of lunch specials! With their quality, the lunch specials are a steal! I'd like to come back for dinner sometime. Food: 5 Service: 5 Environment: 5 Price: 5

Food is still quality though not as good as it once was pre-pandemic. One of the few places around service Chiu Chow style Chinese cuisine. It has the same flavor as before but something feels lacking especially with portion sizing. Service was quick and the restaurant was clean but it's hard to tell if a lot of that is because it was so empty inside. I remember when it used to be bustling even on weekday lunches but there were maybe 3-4 tables seated. Could be the price hikes like everything else these days. They now charge for rice per bowl which sucks.

Chiu Chow style seafood restaurant. This is an old favorite of my family. We like to get the Chiu Chow Seafood Porridge. And also your assorted standard staples of these chinese seafood restaurants. They do a solid job on those. Most recent time I went was Oct 2023, and they seem to have remodeled, and the prices have gone up quite a bit. Price on the live seafood was pretty steep. That knocked it down a star for me. They do have lunch specials, so maybe try it out during lunch.

Parking in the back. I ordered to go. Their house special garlic crab is a must. Really good. All their dishes are very good,kinda pricy for dinner but worth it. French style beef Walnut shrimp Fish maw soup Green bean ( was kinda old) Service was quick and easy. Dinner time was busy. Their crab is a must try.

My family used to come here a lot when it was the old Seafood Palace. Have't been back since they changed the new ownership until yesterday. We decided to celebrate Mid Autumn Festival here. It's always the same vibes, big family gatherings or just have a casual sunday night dinner. You will see a lot kids at every table, so do expect a lot of loud noise and screaminng everywhere. They also have private rooms available but mininum spend is $800+. We have 8 people in our party and we ordered quite a few items on the menu. We ordered seafood, meat, vegetables and always gotta have soup on the side. Here are some of the signature dishes we ordered. House Special Fried Crabs (避風塘蟹)- Whole Crispy Deep Fried Crabs with lot of seasoning and fried garlic. It is one of their signature dish, you can also tell by the name of the restaurant (in cantonese). One of my favorite and the reason I choose to come eat here. The crabs deep fried so well and full of flavors. with salt and pepper, the deep fried garlic added more aroma to it. Winter Melon Pot (冬瓜湯)- This soup is very uniques and comes in a actual wintermelon! You must pre order this 1 day ahead because it has take long hours to make. it comes with black chicken (乌鸡), logan, goji, dried scallop and other healthy chinese herbs, of course the wintermelon. The flavor of the soup tastes very sweet and savory because of the wintermelon and they do not add additional oil to the soup. It comes in a actual wintermelon, you can scrape the winter melon off which scooping out the soup. very delicious and healthy. The other dishes we ordered, where i thought that needs a little improvement. honey walnut shrimps- Texture is okay, but they out way too much mayo where you can barely tastes the flavor of the shrimp and the crispiness. the walnuts are also stale. house speical steam chicken with ginger sauce- Wish there are more flavors of the chicken, it tasted like it was just boiled in water. The ginger sauce combined made it taste slightly better. but the chicken itself should have it's original house special flavor. Baked salt and pepper Squid- Well deep fried but not enough salt and pepper. I did not taste the salt and pepper at all and there were badely any jalapenos. Overall, service is good just like any other typical chinese restaurant. I would still come back and give the restaurant another try.

Costumer service is lazy and is not friendly Food is not complete, everything we ask is not available Bad business

My last review was 1 star. It was terrible. Many other reviews were like mine. This was years ago. Came a few weeks ago to try again after a long period and there was a party. Came tonight and Yelp says they're open to 10 PM . Not true. We noticed the help was eating when we walked in, but they took are order. Since we were going to be the only people eating in there (ordered the crab) , we took it home. The food was spectacular like the old days. We use to wait 45 mins to an hour on weekends. The garlic fried CRAB special dish is waaaaay better than the lobster at Boston or Newport. It's really that good plus the clams and filet beef is much better. AM A HUGE FAN AGAIN AND MY WIFE FROM TAIWAN AGREES.

It's been a decade since I've been here, but the food was better then I remembered. We came on a week night, fairly empty, only a few tables seated and a very drunk& loud party blocked off in the front. We ordered 4 dishes, all were tasty and came out rather quickly. My personal favorite is the baked squid, which is more like a salt and pepper calamari. This was soooo good, the batter was so light and crisp and the calamari is so fresh and tender! Next, the crab; it has the same batter as the calamari, light, crisp, and garlicky. The pork chop are fried and then coated with a sweet and sticky sauce. Rice is necessity with this dish to soak up all the sweetness.

Fast service . .clean place . Fresh veggies. On the other hand , there's no toilet seat cover in the rest room . For me this will affect my review , sanitation is very important.

Their food is good but used to be better. Now the food portion has become smaller and charges steam rice $2 per bowl. We ordered their signature garlic crab (about $70+) was very good . But be mindful if you let their waiter/waitress pack the leftovers. Our leftover garlic crab wasn't completely packed! I remembered the dish was still half full and it was only a small portion after we got home.

Amazing seafood and service is surprisingly good as well. A hidden gem for sure. Don't miss out

this is a great restaurant. Food is excellent and the service is great. Lobster with black pepper sauce is the best and the king crab is unbelievable. Shark fin soup is served the way it should be with heating bowl.

Really bad services especially one man who wear glasses is very rude. We always go to this place but don't know why these ppl are so rude on weekends and only fews customers inside the restaurant. The food is too salty and the place is dirty. We won't go to this places anymore bad services. Why we pay for the bad service.

Price has gone up. Rice additional charge and no more soup provided during lunch special hours even if dining in.

Extremely bad customer service. The manager who is wearing glasses is simply refusing to serve customers. When we arrived the restaurant, there was one table of customer. Not full of people. We requested a table that we could seat more comfortable, but the manager ordered us to seat at a designated small table. If we didn't want to take it, he asked us to leave the restaurant. How could this happen????? So rude, bad customer service, simply didn't want to do business!!!!! Don't go there unless you want to be humiliated by the manager.

The food here was absolutely delicious. It was my first time and I was so impressed. Extremely fresh and authentic. The service was great and there was easy parking in the back. I am definitely coming back.

We have been coming to this restaurant since we were kids. During Covid, they shitted down for a year. Now they are opened and we want to support them by coming to dine here. The foods are still very good with the Chiu Chow style cooking. My favorite is their Chiu Chow style crab. I love the fried garlic flavor infused into the crab meat. In addition, their soups are excellent. The Chiu Chow people are known for their soups. My choice is the fish maw soup. It tastes better than fish meat soup. Another of my favorite from this restaurant is the Kung Pao chicken. Although they don't cook this dish like they do in the northern part of China, I like the way they cook it here with less salt and spiciness. Now that this old time restaurant is reopened, we have more dining choices in Arcadia area.

Food is very good but also very pricey for dinner. This snow fish garlic to go was $35.99... only 9 pieces...

Comfort food yum. Been coming here since we were kids and the food is always good. Our go to's are always the fish pot (not sure of the name, but it's a whole fish in pickled veggie hot pot set up), the beef and radish dish, clams, porridge, and the taro dessert. It's comfort food at its comfiest! After a flight, we always come here for comfort food. It's just so satisfying after a tiring journey. Parking lot in the back and street parking. Yup

Formerly called Seafood Village, this restaurant is one of ours and friends Go To restaurants for family dinner, birthdays, NYE (last minute reservation and they always try to accommodate us). The food is quite good! They have one of the best garlic crabs around town. Each Seafood place has lots of same to similar items and yet something unique that's their specialty! Here, it's the cheapest item on the menu, the egg fish (u can order with oysters or pickled radish which is always our option as cooked oyster is an acquired taste)!!! Another popular one is the whole black cod fish pot with sour veggies, fish flakes off from bone and silky texture like sea-bass. Friendly and attentive waiters (I heard of right for Chinese restaurants - perhaps coz we're regulars, but give them a chance). ***TIP: u can ask them to waive corkage fee if you are doing bdays or VIP rooms***

The lunch specials here are great. For less than $10 a plate, you get soup, rice and tea on top of the entree. Fish, beef, chicken, shrimp and tofu options are aplenty. Ambiance is fancier relative to the competition. Nice ballrooms for general dining with newer furniture and decor. Private dining area small with a window toward the street but feels luxurious. Bathrooms are nice and clean. My parents live close by and they meet all their old Chinese exercise and folk dance club friends here. That's a legit stamp of authenticity.

Always have a fantastic dinner here. The portions are great for larger parties (and lots of leftovers), so you definitely get your moneys worth. Stand outs this time around were: fried squab, the beef rib, king crab 2 ways (steamed with garlic, and fried), and the geoduck sashimi. Soooo good!

Just had it a week ago Seems like they have a new chief We always order same dishes only 2 out of 5 dishes are same

My Honey and I came here for late lunch/ early dinner! The establishment was not crowded, and the staff was very attentive! We ordered Baked Shrimp with Pepper and Salt, and Deep Fried Whole Fish both were on the Lunch Special Menu! These came with Green Tea and Ice Water! Our food was served promptly and hot! Everything tasted delicious. The staff checked in on us several times! The whole establishment was very clean and neat!

There are many seafood restaurants around, especially Cantonese Style. We picked this one out of the blue, and none of us has been here. It is not a big restaurant, like other traditional Chinese Seafood restaurant. We came here around 8 pm on a weekday and still there are some tables, which make this place looks busy. The decoration is the newer, but it could get noisy. The food is a little surprise for us. We ordered the boiled live shrimp. Shrimp came out is so much bigger than we thought. Good texture and fresh. We ordered a sweet and sour ribs. This dish is only okay as it has too much sauces. Another dish is the tofu with mushrooms. This one is above our expectation. The tofu is in round shape, with a white sauces and white mushrooms on top. Not salty and pretty refresh. We all love this one. We also order the green beans, which is nice. Not too salty. And the last one is the steam fish which comes out great. While we are eating the fish, there is a fly dive into the sauce. This happened in 0.1 second. We told the staff, and they are kindly make us another new one. Overall my experience with this restaurant is good. And will come back in the future

This is a Jonathan Gold approved restaurant, he wrote about it back in 2015. I used to eat here very often before the pandemic and their remodel when it was Seafood Village. The lunch specials were so affordable and it came with rice and soup. Even if I was dining alone, they would give me a large soup. Sad to read that they don't offer free soup and rice for dine-in anymore. I ordered to go today from the lunch menu (fried whole fish and pork belly with preserved vegetables). It was very delicious and came out very quickly. Food is perfectly seasoned, flavorful without being too salty. It's almost always empty but it should be getting way more traffic than it does. Service is attentive, was good back in the day too. Prices are definitely more than before but everything is more expensive now, pricing is still decent compared to other restaurants. Hope that it becomes popular again because it's really good and consistent.

This is our go-to spot for big family gathering seafood meals. Their deep fried lobster, fried tofu, and string beans are frequent picks, but we haven't been disappointed by anything on the menu. They only take reservations for tables of 8 or more, so come outside of peak business hours or expect a bit of a wait.

I only have one goal when I eat here, and that is to get the Special Crab Dish! ::Food:: The food here is decent. My favorite is #35 House Special Crab (Seasonal). It's one whole crab cut into pieces and marinated with garlic. The crab is topped with green onions and crunchy garlic pieces. They also give you crab crackers. This dish can be messy but it's worth it. Sprinkle the garlic pieces on your rice; it's good! I've also ordered #54 Clams with Black bean Sauce and #116 Pan Fried String Bean with Minced meat. ::Customer Service:: It's a hit and miss. There have been times the staff was a little rude but there are other times they were attentive. ::Highlight:: #35 House Special Crab (Seasonal) ::M's Notes:: -Indoor Seating -Parking: Street and Lot (located in the back)

Haven't been here in forever!!! Came here for Mother's Day. This place is always super packed when it's Saturday or Sunday. Since we came when it opened, there wasn't a wait. The person who seated us was a bit loud, yelling through the phone because he was answering a billion calls about people wanting to reserve at a specific time that day. Since he was the only person there, I waited for him for a few minutes then he directed me where to sit. Not much courtesy, but it's an Asian restaurant, they don't really that that much. Parking can be a hassle. There's parking on the neighborhood streets and at the back of the restaurant. In the back, it's limited parking though. We ordered the HOUSE SPECIAL CRAB, Honey Walnut Creamy Shrimp, Seafood pot, Baked Squid with Spicy Salt and Pepper, Salted Meat Chow Fun with Chinese Broccoli, Bean Curd with Stuffed Shrimp. Since there's no lunch special on Mother's Day, Each dish is around $15.00 give or take. Everything came out good. I recommend the House Special Crab. It's what this place is really known for. The batter that is covered around the crab is really flavorful salty and seasoned really well. I liked their Baked Squid and Spicy Salt and Pepper too. It has the right amount of seasoning and the squid is very very tender! Our server, David, was very attentive to our needs. He changed our plates 3 times because eating crab with so much shell can make a big mess. The 3rd time he offered even when we told him it's ok, we don't need new plates, he insisted which we just gave and helped him change our plates. He comes around different tables and see what people needed and filled our water glasses without us even having to say we needed refill. He wanted our dining experience to be as good as it can, which I think he did just that. I'd give him an A+!!

Very disappointing! Did they change the chef or the restaurant changed hands?! Many dishes are not up to par. We understood its covid, but that doesn't mean their food's quality can be so bad. We ordered the house special crab, tofu with bamboo fugus, snowpea, vermicelli with fish cake, basil clams, house chicken, and filet mignon cubes. Two dishes were so bad and one of the two was their signature dish too! The rest of the dishes were OK, but not up to par. They made them way better before. The crab was so bad, it was a dead crab (meat tasted like paste), very tiny and waaaaay too much breading. Bamboo fugus tasted sooo weird, like food bleach. We used to come here a lot, but not sure what happened, but for sure not coming back here. Not only that, the price also increased. With this quality of food, it's waaaay overpriced, not worth it at all!

My family came here for dinner on a busy Saturday night. It's not a large restaurant so we had a bit of a wait. For four adults and two kids, my mom ordered four entrees and two soups. It was just about the right amount with some leftovers. Service is as service always tends to be in Chinese restaurants...chaotic and you just have to wave people down sometimes. My favorite items were the BAKED SQUID WITH SPICY SALT & PEPPER (eat it when it's hot and crispy!) and the HOUSE SPECIAL PORK RIB. If you're a party of 2-3 people, get these two and add a vegetable dish and rice and that'll be a pretty satisfying meal I'd say!

Since we were in the Temple City area (Las Tunas Drive, to be exact), my Mom suggested Seafood Palace since she always see them advertise on the various Asian TV Channels. Sure, why not. We always dine on the other side of the 626 (from Rosemead to Monterey Park) and so, something different, something new and of course, a brand-new review. Parking: Free parking in the front, back and sides (just watch out for signs). Lobster Promotion: Purchase $20+ and receive either: Two (2) Small Lobsters for $23.99 or One (1) Big Lobster at $24.99lbs. Mom and I decided to go with the two small lobsters. If we like it, we'll come back next time for the big lobster. Rice Charges: $0.60 per person - regardless, if it's lunch or dinner. We forego rice and got Seafood Chow Mein instead. Two (2) Small Lobsters for $23.99 - sautéed with gingers and scallions. The meat on both lobsters were fresh, but somewhat bland tasting. There wasn't a real wow factor or sexiness appeal (like that moment your eyes widen, or jaw drops when they bring out the lobster) to the lobster dish. Though, I did find a small moment of joy when a piece of roe fell out of one of the lobsters. This lobster dish was alright. Even my Mom didn't like the scallions and gingers, and usually, she goes straight for that stuff. I guess that's what happens when I've been spoiled by Tang Cang Newport Seafood and Boston Lobster. What also annoyed my Mom and I was when the servers decided to change out our plates at the last minute with four remaining pieces left, when they could've done it mid-way when the lobster plate was still semi-full. $17.99 Pea Sprouts (Dinner portion): The pea sprouts were good and plentiful. Presentation-wise, the colors were beautiful and vibrant. However, we did find some old and chewy stalks also cooked inside once we started digging into it. Both my Mom and I also agreed that after eating the pea sprouts, it left a sandy and grainy aftertaste in our mouths. We decided not to eat this anymore and ended up taking home the leftovers. The following night, my Mom removed the old and chewy ones and then sautéed it along with the leftover Seafood Chow Mein and it tasted so much better. $11.25 Seafood Chow Mein (Lunch portion): The assorted seafood toppings were also generous and delicious. However, the green veggies were super tough and chewy to bite alone. My Mom told one of the servers and he ended up giving us a knife to cut it up into smaller pieces. As for the noodles, they were crispy all around, but a little too al dente to chew through. We also ended up taking it home once the lobsters came out. Service: The food came out in a good and timely manner. Once all of your food has arrived, the servers leave you alone unless you flag them down for something else. The servers here were nice and courteous. They would walk around the tables clearing out any empty dishes, refilling water or tea. Though the changing of the lobster dishes would have been appreciated earlier instead of when there's only four remaining pieces of lobster left. Ambience and Décor: Clean and spacious restaurant. Majority of the diners here are older folks and of course, small family sizes, and so the ambience is more relaxing, chilled and casual. The Women's Restroom is also clean and well-maintained. Overall, this was a nice place to try out in the Temple City area, but that's about it.

Seafood Palace Let's break it down. I've been coming here with my family since the early 2000's so I have a lot of fond memories. Does this give me a tiny little bias in my review? Probably. Does it matter? No. I rate as fairly as I can and let's be real...you can read multiple reviews on Yelp but it's still up to YOU and your personal palate on whether you like it or not. Final Score - Broken Down Food - 4.6..This score is HIGH AF. Why? GARLIC CRAB. GET IT. Their Kung Pao Chicken is also bomb. Veggies are good. Every item I've had here was good. I can't recall one item that was disgusting. Ever. I love coming here and will be coming back later this month simply because I'm writing this review and getting hungry. Service - 2.5 Meh. For the times I've been here the service is basic for Chinese restaurants of this size and crowd. When they throw the plates and cups down it looks like a Vegas Dealer tossing you cards on the black jack table. If you want refill on water or tea don't expect them to smile at you. It's nothing extreme where you'll hate this place but it's just expected.

Food are so so. Nothing really stands out. Not my taste Decor is nice. Staffs are friendly.

Bad experience having lunch In this restaurant. Service was terrible even the place is not crowded. They have only two people working. They have to serve, answer the phone， manage the cash register. They are very rude when service is requested (like want more water). Definitely will not go back again.

Seafood Palace has been one of my favorite restaurants for as long as I could remember! My parents and I love coming here from time to time for their lunch specials (their lunch menu is available everyday except on holidays). During lunch, they serve a variety of entrees that range in price from $7.50 to about $11.50. All of their entrees are delicious and not too oily (this is sometimes a problem at other Chinese restaurants). My personal favorites are the deep fried whole fish, seafood bean curd, deep fried tofu, and pan fried string beans. And if we're feeling fancy, we get the house special garlic crab (sooo good!). Also, the portions are very generous. Between my parents and I, we usually have enough leftover to have a second meal later in the day. Needless to say, I would highly recommend checking out Seafood Palace if you're in the mood for good Chinese food! It's also important to note that they have two private rooms, so this would also be the perfect restaurant if you're looking for a place that can host large family dinners.

We loved this place and kept coming back for more. It was not the service alone, but the foods that had drawn us back. The tastes were just right, because it wasn't salty nor oily. The prices were a little pricey, but they have too many choices. Their services were extremely top notch and fast.

House special crab is what they are known for and also what I order every time, delicious. It's cooked with dried garlic and green onions and has tons of flavor. Their filet mignon cubes are alright, a lot of sauce in the meat itself that they did not make the lemon sauce here as it typically comes with at other restaurants. On the pricier side about $16 for this plate. The salted fish fried rice was something ordered to enjoy with the crab and filet mignon cubes. It was good but I probably would order just plain rice next time since the meat and crab was rich in flavor and probably has salt in it already. The staff seem to speak mandarin mostly because whatever I said in English had to be repeated several times for them to understand I wanted a spoon or a nutcracker for the crab. Service was okay and busy when we came. I would come back just for the house special crab.

The food is consistent with quality. We order togo and it's still good when we eat at home.

It's been 7 years since I last came here. Always looked forward to the Crispy Noodles! I drove by the place when it was remodeling. Honestly, I can't really tell the difference between the old and new building. All I know is that the name of the restaurant changed from "Seafood Village" to "Seafood Palace." It's like in Animal Crossing when you upgrade your Tom Nook store, except no upgrade on the building. It was semi-full when we got there. The dishes were kind of pricey, but lunch special made the dishes worth it. We ordered food, and it came out pretty quickly. However, I was kind of let down... the Crispy Noodles didn't taste as good as it used to be. The portion was much smaller, and the noodles were mostly soggy... Also, what happened to the oranges after we were finished eating? Really missed that.

Love this place for their seafood. It's Chinese style so they use the entire fish or crab or whatnot. Their crab is their specialty so I would highly recommend it. I typically get an order of diced fillet mignon, tong sum choi (cooked Chinese spinach), specialty chicken, their specialty crab, steamed fish (Hong ban) and walnut shrimp. Their foods are really flavorful and it's definitely something that they specialize in. Their crab is fried with garlic and is really easy to crack open. Their fish is steamed and added with some cooked soy sauce. Their vegetables are cooked with some garlic and some oil. Their chicken is cooked with heated water has some really nice sauces on the sides. They will always give you a side of rice. Additionally, they will offer you Chinese tea which pairs well with your food. In addition, they have a side of sour vegetables in the beginning.
