Seafood was fresh, servers were friendly and very attentive. Came here with friends since we were in LA for a few days. A tad salty but still good! Def a try if your in LA and want some good Chinese Seafoood.
Best crab I have had in the US. It is certainly not cheap but definitely more than enough for your party. Trust me, I have an 18 year old son who eats a lot and we didn’t finish the dish.
Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. Recommend to make reservations as it gets busy during peak dinner time. We ordered 7 dishes and a soup for our group. All of the food items we ordered tasted average as nothing stood out. Portions are on the larger side. Service was typical for a Chinese restaurant meaning spotty service. Restaurant is super loud so it's hard to have a conversation at the table. Small parking lot in front but had to park on the street.
On a visit to Monterey park, we were in the mood for Chinese food, our friends recommended seafood palace, located on Garvey ave.
Took forever to find an empty parking spot, as it’s very busy place.
We were party of five, so we had the chance to order multiple different dishes to share.
The house special crabs, kind of spicy with lots of minced roasted garlic, looks and taste great,
The house special pork hock, deep fried skins and also was very delicious.
My favorite was the diced steak French style it was fabulous!
We also ordered some vegetables shredded taro with chives very good.
The house special giant prawns has great taste and spices.
All in all it was good experience, it came to around $35 pp.
I will definitely come back to try other dishes.

Nothing was bad but had more underwhelming dishes than hits.
Best dishes: crab, shrimp/meat pieces
Wouldn't get again: vermicelli with meat, omelette with preserved turnip
Overall nothing was bad but nothing was amazing except for the crab

Consistent delivery of high quality Cantonese food over years! We were here 15 years ago, liked it so much that we went twice in our week-long vacation. We came a couple of times this year after we moved here and are impressed with the consistent great flavor in the food. What makes this place great is there is no bad dish (of what we tried), which isn’t common even among LA’s great Chinese restaurants. Quick service both times recently, the servers could smile more. :-)
Top tier Chinese restaurant with excellent consistency. I’ve visited this restaurant twice now, and both times every dish has been amazing (except for fish pot). The house special crab is delicious though difficult to eat. The fried cod is wonderful as well. It’s very crispy on the outside and so tender on the inside. Best fried fish I’ve had. Squab was interesting to try. Flavor and texture were both pretty good, but not worth the price in my opinion due to the small portion and similarity to duck/chicken. Mushroom beef stir fry is a hidden gem in this restaurant. It’s not featured as a house special in the images on the walls, but achieves restaurant level stir fry with its glistening and tender mushrooms, flavorful beef, without excess oil/grease underneath. A dish very difficult to make at home. The string beans also exceed expectations; they have just the right consistency with the outer layer of skin slightly wrinkling, but a cooked crunchy interior. Friendly suggestion to this restaurant would be to consider making a house special fried fish! The fish was quite good but I don’t like the sweet and sour sauce it came with, and I think it could be improved by adding the fried garlic bits that are the hallmark of a bi Feng tang dish. Would love this place even more with a bi Feng tang fish!
Service was also great. Plates were switched out frequently because we were eating the crab, and when I dropped a chopstick someone noticed immediately and brought me a new pair. Appreciate it!

Parking can be rough but sometimes you might find a spot right in front like we did today! Or there is plenty of street parking.
They take credit card.
Plenty of tables and no reservations are taken.
Service can be a little hard to get their attention but the waiter who helped us was really friendly.
You will have to order rice separately but the tea is free and has a good roasty taste.
We ordered the infamous shredded taro and chives (SO delicious) and the amazing beef dish (forgot the name but it’s one of their house specials). There were other dishes as well but these two are my favorite! Both pretty expensive at $22 or $25 per a dish.
But it is tasty and my parents love this place!!
