What People Are Saying About Ocean Seafood
The Editor

The Scene – Cantonese seafood doesn't get much better--or fresher--than this. You'll find a wall of aquariums that are teeming with lively (sometimes bizarre-looking) fish, shrimp, lobster and crab. Spiffy uniformed waiters buzz around the dining room, offering impeccable service and dining suggestions. Heed their advice--they know what they're talking about. – – The Food – It would be a crime not to eat Ocean Seafood's famous shrimp, prepared a variety of ways, the most popular being boiled up and peeled right at the table; the sweet, clean meat is similar to a…

Saturday Dim Sum Delight
by photowriter333 at Citysearch
Went looking for some early Saturday morning, Los Angeles' Chinatown, Chinese food. Actually looking for some noodles and maybe a seafood soup. Happened upon this locale, passed it many times, went in once, thought the dinners were a bit pricey considering all the options, and passed. But today was both a surprise and a delight. Dim Sum Heaven! And that is about all that you will get at this hour of the weekend day. Don't expect to order fried squid, or Cod in black bean sauce. They are serving Dim Sum, and they are serious about it. Once seated, we were literally swamped by servers. The choices were made lightening fast. But not to complain. It was delicious, well-prepared, and efficiently fast and fun. The bill for two was a bit high, nearing $80, as compared to $40 at another well-established Dim Sum eatery located just North and down the street near the entrance to the freeway. But the food was better than good, which is what the other place serves-- so, all in all, it was worth the extra ducats.
- Pros: Lot of space. Happy environment. Hey, It's Chinatown, Jake!
- Cons: Mobbed by the staff. Let me breath between bites of Dim Sum!!!

Better Hong Kong!
by kruslim at Citysearch
I am American (born in Queens, New York) and married to a man from Hong Kong. We travel all over the world for both business and pleasure. A friend of mine recommended Ocean Seafood for lunch and boy did we love it. The atmosphere and food reminded us so much of Hong Kong. Yes, it was crowded but what do you expect. I did read several reviews and I agree with all the positive ones. It?s a great place to bring families and friends, (we had 10 people in our party). Our kids loved the live fish. You should really try their deserts. We had the bean curd and was it good. It was hot and incredibly authentic. You?ll love it. The only downside is the wait, but be patient and come early.
- Pros: the Deserts
- Cons: the Wait (it was Mother's Day)
