Review: The Seafood Village ★★★★

Tasty Beef Stew Bow

Creamy Bun

Shui Mai was average

I have been to the other two Seafood Village in the east side, this one is different.  First is the only one of the tree that also serves Hong Kong Style Barbeque.  The interior and décor is also bigger here.  Parking was easy to find in lunch time weekday.  Décor is standard and not fancy. I don't like the fish tank is quite dirty and I even saw a dead fish there.

Anyway, I come here for dim sum and this review is based on that.  Funny, this one also the only one of the tree that serve dim sum.  They replace the old fashion cart with the order form.  This can be hit and miss, the up side is that you can get any dim sum you what without keep hawking the cart.  But the downside could be you no longer can see what the dim sum look prior order it.

Our group try several dim sum and mostly were positive, there were no bad one just few average.  That is typical in almost all dim sum places.  The price was reasonable, most of the dim sum were starting from $2.18 weekday and $2.48 weekend. The congee was top quality, the meal ball was tender and most important the soup was very flavor due to added scallop.  Their rice noodle were hand made and had amazing texture.  The basic like shui mai wasn't exceptional but is average.  

This place was getting packed in lunch time, their lunch special is only like $5 something.  Waiter service is responsive but still need to ask for refill plate. I rated this dim sum somewhere in between New Capital to Sea Harbors.  Which is make it one of better dim sum in San Gabriel valley and probably the best value for the quality in Rowland Height.  The food quality and service  is 4 stars, but the value and good location is 5 stars which is equal a 4.5 stars !
