Seafood Cove 2

I grew up eating at this place! One of the best Dim Sum restaurants you can find in OC. I was thoroughly pleased with my visit to this dim sum establishment! The atmosphere upon entering was welcoming and the service from the staff proved exceptionally attentive. The menu featured a delightful selection of classic, and delicious dim sum choices. Every dish was a nice of taste and well-prepared. Undoubtedly, this restaurant has become my preferred destination for a satisfying dim sum cravings.

Gets really busy so go early. Okay siu mai and har gow. Good chicken feet, taro cake with egg and porridge.

Came on a Sunday around noon. They are on the second floor, you can see everyone waiting on the balcony in front. Parking lot is large but very busy on weekends. Added our name using a tablet to the Yelp waitlist. We were 44th in line. Took about an hour and a half. Once we sat down they will take any orders that aren’t on the dim sum menu. We ordered salt and pepper tofu and salt and pepper fish. Don’t recommend either of those. All the dim sum dishes were good though. They also have ice cream available from Churnt creamery but we were too full.

Gave it 5 stars because one person noticed we didn’t hardly eat any of the fish and didn’t want a box. He took that off the bill. The fish was battered like American fish and chips and not too much flavor.

If you live or visit socal, this is the place to go for some good dim sum at a reasonable price. Plenty of parking and it’s safe. We come here often and they always have our favors served hot and fast. Its also located in the heart of little Saigon which is an unique experience all in its own. Be prepared to be welcomed with friendly staff and fast service. There’s a bit of a wait but so are great places to eat.

We have been there about several times. The prices are a little bit higher but okay, and the foods are good. However, we learned how much they are uneducated with bad services. Based on our story below.

June 24th, 2023. I was there with my wife and parents in law. We faced two different horrible things that happened in the same place.

1. There were very rude and annoying people there for an entire time, manager or worker doing nothing. They were standing up right next to us and kicking our chair. They said it was just celebrating, even their table is already cleaned up, and the next guest was seated. We told our feelings to the manager, but they didn't do anything. We and many other keep telling them about it, and finally they respond. We already lost our feelings to eat I there. We took the food with the Togo box, then ate it at home. And now, the next things have happened.

2.
They said they are served food that cooked based on weight of ingredients. I think stone is much heavier than clam. We told them about this to Seafood Cove 2, but the answer wes that I was lying. However, we have pictures when we get food with rock.

I don't think I will visit this place anymore.

Seafood Cove 2 is my go-to spot for dim sum! This place always delivers on flavor and authenticity. Though it's often crowded and parking can be difficult to find, the delicious and affordable dishes are well worth the effort. Located on the second floor and across the street from Asian Garden Mall, it's a convenient spot for anyone in the area. My favorite dish is the rice paper with shrimp - it's always fresh and bursting with flavor. If you're in the mood for dim sum, Seafood Cove 2 is definitely worth a visit.

Ordered Black pepper lobster. It was amazing. Even though we went almost like closing time. They were very welcoming and provided good service. Also ordered seafood egg noodles- it was okay. Lobster are very fresh and they service based on the weight we choose. The smallest lobster we got was 2 .8 lbs almost and total price of the dish was approx $70. It was good try.

Amazing seafood here! We thought we were going to have Cantonese food but ran into Vietnamese seafood. Everything was beyond our expeditions. The curry lobster was mild spicy to me, mingled well the lobster taste and the richness from curry. It went well with rice and I ended up ordering a second bowl of rice. It reminded us of the taste of the cuisines of Southeast Asia. We also enjoyed the crunchiness of their fried calamari.
