House Special Crab is so good. I LOVE garlic so I was happy to see tons of fried garlic pieces all over the dish. We also got this other crab dish with spicy bean sauce (?) not too sure what the name was... but that was also delicious! Prices are great and dishes are great. I highly recommend :)
Tip: come early because it gets crowded really fast and the wait can be super long. -

So far the Best Hong-Kong/Cantonese cuisine in Los Angeles!
As a son of former Cantonese restaurant owner in China, I guarantee you won't find a better place for Cantonese food than this one in LA.
Every thing tasted amazing! I'm extremely picky about Chinese foods but I couldn't find any dislike this time.
Dishes were authentic, old school, and well-designed just like in high end restaurants of Hong Kong in the 90s.
It tastes even better than most Hong Kong's current restaurants.
Services were pretty good, out of my expectation.
If you like Chinese food, you'll love this place. Don't miss it. -

Seafood Palace's food is really good but but on the pricey side of Chinese food in the area.
At this restaurant. You really do get what you pay for. Their seafood dishes can get very elegant and extravagant if you're willing to ball out.
They gave Alaskan King Crab that you can pick out and they'll cook it a couple different ways for you. Stir fry. Fried rice. Etc etc. I've only see it happen but never ordered it. Looks bomb tho.
Parking in tough... There is a small lot in the front and the back. But sometimes we have to find street parking in the surrounding neighborhood. Which isn't that bad.
Overall: will return. The flavors are authentic and excuted well. Just bring your wallet. -

This is one of our go to chinese restaurants. Service is always fast and efficient and food is always tasty and delicious. A lot of people come and order the deep fried dungeness crab with garlic for less than 20 dollars and their steam chicken with special sauce. I also highly recommend the deep fried snow fish. It is an all time favorite dish of my family. Parking is a bit tricky during peak hours.

Came here after a graduation for dinner.
Got to say, the servers were attentive and comes around multiple times with different servers. If it wasn't for the accommodating servers, I would have given this place 3 stars.
Given that this place is popular amongst Asians, I thought food would be way better than what we got served with.
The prices of the dishes are kinda expensive ranges from around $13-25. The most famous stir-fry crab is about $55 for 3 lbs!!!! You have to get at least 3lbs when you order and each lb is $17.99!!! So expensive and you don't get that much meat. Though the crab is flavorful!!
FYI: all these dishes... I don't know the exact names. I didn't order it. I apologize.
The Stir-Fry Green Beans was super salty. Since it's dinner time, they don't offer free rice, so we ordered fried rice dish instead. But before the rice came, the green beans came out. Half of my party took a bite and they all kinda spit it out stating how salty it was. We had to ask the server to take it back to de-salt it somehow! When it came out again, I tried it I said it was salty. My mom tried it and said it's less salty than before. I couldn't imagine how it was before...yikes.
Minced Chicken Lettuce Wrap- flavorful ingredients with the lettuce. The lettuce gives it crunch, freshness, and minimize the salt that it minced chicken has.
Fried Squid- seasoned well and is tastes good. I love fried squid and the side of chopped peppers that makes really good. It has good crunch from the fried batter.
Tofu and Fish- it was good. Fish was cooked soft and flavorful with the tofu.
Yang Zho Fried rice- they first gave us soggy like congee like fried rice and told us they messed up in the kitchen and still served the dish to us!!! Can you believe that?!!! If it was Gordon Ramsey, he would have thrown the dish and the plate in the trash and tell the cook to make it over again! The second time they made it was good like how the fried rice is supposed to be.
Flat Noodle stir fry- tbh, I didn't try it, I was so full from all the food that was ordered.
Thick Green vegetable ( I think it's called baby broccoli) with fish on top- the stem was so hard to chew that my grandma told the waiter why they serve old baby broccoli especially at a restaurant that supposedly have good reputation!! The server took it back and told my grandma they'll give us another dish that looked more unappetizing!
In the end, they gave us free red bean soup! It was delicious but a little bit more sweet than I like. But that's my opinion.
Parking is limited! But you can park on the street.
So over all, we had to bring 3 dishes to be redone but like I said before the servers were very composed and professional with our unsatisfied dishes.
