EA Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Long Beach

Came here today for dim sum a little after they opened at 10:30. It started filling up fast soon after 11 and they seemed to only have 1-2 servers for the whole place until around 12 when we saw a 3rd. We came hungry and didn’t realize how big the pieces were so we ordered 2 orders steamed shrimp dumpling (har gao), 1 order steamed shrimp and chive dumplings, 2 orders shrimp and pork shumai, 1 order steamed pork dumpling, 2 orders deep fried mochi with pork dumpling, 1 order baked bbq pork buns (Char Siu Bao), 2 orders sesame balls (jin deui), 1 order steamed piggy buns with red bean paste, and duck congee. The rice noodle dishes like beef rice noodle weren't available today. With the exception of the congee, each plate had 3 large pieces per order so we could have done without the extra order of some things but now we have leftovers for another meal or two. 😊 Overall the food was really good but since it's made fresh it took a looong time to get everything. It came in waves and the main server we had kept apologizing about the wait time. Luckily we weren't in a rush like some others seemed to be. I heard dim sum was pretty new here so they likely just have a lot of kinks to work out still. Hopefully they do and also get more staff to...

This afternoon my son and I had dim sum at EA. Previously I celebrated my son's 22nd birthday there. They were able to accommodate our extra large party and we dined family style. Dim sum options are listed on a separate menu from their regular fare.

Today I ordered the soy sauce chow mein, braised chicken feet, steamed pork ribs, shu mai, and beef rice sheet rolls. My son likes chicken feet, but he didn't finish it this time. He did eat all the pork. The pork was prepared steamed with black bean.

Chow mein was not the same as when I ordered during his birthday celebration. I expected thick yellow noodles but the dish I received had thinner noodles that were semi soft and crispy. The seasoning was perfect though.

My son ordered the rice sheet rolls and thought they would come with shrimp and soy sauce, like we were used to at other dim sum restaurants, so the fact that it came with beef was different for us. He says he wouldn't order it again because the beef was scarce. I like the rice sheets for its texture. The sauce in this was also good.

We likely will skip out on the dim sum next time, because our best experience was dinner served family style off their...

Like the place, i would recommend it. Being from Cantonese decent, it's nice to hear your ancestor's language spoken by staff. Attentive and efficient service.

Now, let's talk about the food. EA Seafood offers some of the best Chinese cuisine I've had the pleasure of tasting in the LBC (Long Beach, California). It had been a while since I indulged in jellyfish, but my husband, who hails from Ukraine, insisted on ordering it. The waitress kindly double-checked if he was aware of what he was ordering, which we appreciated.

We weren't terribly hungry so only ordered the walnut shrimp and the Cantonese style noodles. Both were good, i didn't quite taste the wok's heat, in the noodles, but they were delicious no less.

Overall, our experience at EA Seafood was delightful, and I can't wait to return to sample more of their offerings. If you're craving authentic Cantonese cuisine with a personal touch, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won't be...
