I hadn't been here in a long while and believe they are under new ownership. The place was crowded so there was a bit of a wait.The dim sum was superb. I tried a green colored pork bun that was dyed green though I still prefer the more common white bao filled with tsa tsu.The dim sum is exceptional.
One of my favorite dim sum places in LA, definitely worth it to try! The puff pastries are especially fragrant, crisp, and delicate!
Food is good overall. Is it worth the wait? No. I had to eat here with friends beause they waited 2 hours but you can find somewhere else just as good. I enjoyed the food but definitely not worth the wait.
There was about a 30 minute wait to get a table for dim sum on a Saturday at 11am. They have a large outdoor porch for waiting, next to a busy street. The restaurant is essentially one large room with round tables, and it gets rather loud.Tea and food are ordered from a menu, they do not use carts here. All of the items we had were quite tasty, mostly standard dim sum items with some premium ingredient upgrades. The shu mai with black truffle was particularly good.
Food was good. Prices are reasonable. There's a language barrier so try to be patient. There's always a crowd and I've always waited 15 - 60 minutes for a table. Clean and quick service. No nonsense. Just good food.
The magic was gone. What remained was the price. I don’t know if it’s the Covid-19’s or what but foods were not the same. It was undoubtedly better than some but for the price you got to wow my pant off like before.
Pricey dim sum. It gets busy here so come early. Ordered Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce, shrimp dumpling, pork & shrimp dumpling with truffle sauce, radish cake with assorted preserved meat, sticky rice wrapped with lotus leaf, shrimp dumpling with chives, steamed bbq pork bun, house no. 1 baked bbq pork bun, and deep fried sesame balls... All of the dishes tasted good.
The egg tarts, fried durian, and the salty egg steamed buns are my favorites. My boys love the shumai! Always have been my go to dim sum place.
Great dim sum, favorite was the pandan dumpling thing. Service is speedy, they turn over their tables fast! Which can also be a little off putting especially when you're not familiar as to how to order. Tried chicken feet for the first time, flavor profile amazing, texture (not my cup of tea) but I gave it a chance
Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant serves as its name states, seafood. And Dim Sum. This rating is only for the dim sum as I've yet to come here for dinner.The dim sum menu is reasonable in size of offerings, the majority of which are traditional items you will find in any other Cantonese seafood restaurant. So, there are plenty of steamed dim sum...think char siu bao, siu Mai, har gow, etc. By the way, the siu mai here is excellent. Another highly recommended item is their interpretation of har gow which comes with a black skin and gold leaf. The other items are fine but not great. The baked char siu bao is better in the French style between the two versions. As for the fried dim sum, nothing impressed me...the fried bbq pork pastry was heavy on dough and sesame seeds and light on the pork. And that brings up an important point: Sea Harbour does not offer barbeque of any sort. In other words, therefore they do not make the pork as an example that goes into their dim sum. And that is reflected in my opinion in the diminished quality of their meat based items. On a brighter note, the ozymanthus gelatin is delicious and lightly sweet. Their egg white custards are also light and creamy.Service here is professional and polite. It isn't difficult to get the attention of staff when needed. Prices...they tend towards the expensive side.Last: while they have a banner outside that says they offer outdoor seating, there is no evidence of it anymore.
