Ocean Chinese Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Arlington

Certified authentic Chinese cuisine by my Hong Kong born and raised husband! Wow, it was delicious! So glad to find a local restaurant that not only serves legit Chinese food, but does so at a fantastic price! The decor inside is dated, but that again shouts true blue Hong Kong style cafe. Makes you feel like you're really there. 😂

We had the been curd with shrimp and pork hot pot (pictured), Cantonese beef flat noodle and sweet and sour pork. Our favorite was the hot pot. The outside of the bean curd (tofu) had a perfectly light crunchiness to it, with a delectable layer of pressed shrimp and pork along the top, and a flavorful sauce of fresh grated ginger and spices to complement the dish. The beef flat noodle was also a home run, with very tender beef, noodles just the right texture and thickness, and a flavor that transported us right back to HK. We will skip the sweet and sour pork next time - it was battered pork chop covered with sauce, just not what we were expecting. The sweet and sour sauce was excellent, however, so maybe we'll try it with chicken next time.

Now that we've discovered this place, whenever we visit Arlington in the future, you can bet we will be stopping...

Sadly, after reviewing so many glowing reviews I sought out this nice, clean, spacious east side restaurant featuring Asian & Seafood fare. Table for dinner for 1 older white male. The hot jasmine tea was quite good. The Hot & Sour soup was neither. The soup was def. not fresh, no mushrooms/fungus, no meat or tofu. There was bamboo shoots aplenty, but the red chilis, whether be whole, crushed, oiled or minced were absent as was any vinegar. A major disappointment. Next is Mongolian Beef & Pork w/onions. Fair to good, sizzling & tasty, but NO sauce to speak of to top my steamed rice with. ( Why do NONE of the North Central Texas Asian restaurants cook their entrees 'til they don't drip? ) The assorted veggie plate was somewhat disappointing due to there being NO water chestnut, mushrooms, corn bits, bell peppers?, green or red? onions?!? There were oodles of snow peas & a few sculptured carrot slices along w/bok choy & broccoli spears. The "sauce" was plain old soy sauce...no garlic, no ginger root. What is this? Asian food for those w/digestive system ills? Where is the spice?, the seasoning?...THE FLAVOR?!?!? The lady waitress was...

It's an okay restaurant . Hardly to say this is an authentic Chinese restaurant. The restaurant serves Cantonese food, but most of the classical Cantonese dishes were okay, they are below average quality and tasty than most Cantonese restaurant I ever been to. We ordered four dishes today, it was our second visit, three dishes were lower than my expectations. The last dish we both like were Mongolia beef, but it supposed made with full plate of beef, we saw quite much pork in the dish.

The hot pot dish we had last time was disappointment we ordered different hot pot which you can find in every Chinese Cantonese restaurant , it is another disappointment again . They put lots of indigents inside, but most of those don't have the taste of the ingredients themselves instead of all full of heavy sauce, the cabbage inside of the pot was cut to giant pieces.... The chef clearly show that how much he loves the brown or dark sauce, two visits two different dishes, all of those dishes he put heavy dark/brown sauce...even orange chicken... today was our hungry day, so we wanted to give another try... don't think we will come back to...
