Top Island Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Rowland Heights

Breakfast, lunch, or dinner...I've had it all at Seafood Village. One of the finest Hong Kong Specialty restaurants in the 626.

I've always considered Bei Fung Tang also know as Seafood Village in English as one of the premier HK style/Traditional Cantonese style Chinese restaurants. Whether it's having a big family dinner with fresh seafood, enjoying some eating with a nice Dim Sum brunch, or simply taking a quick lunch break with some cheap and tasty dishes; Seafood Village pretty much does it all. Just like most upscale Chinese restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley(SGV), even though it's expensive comparatively, it's never too outrageously spendy. (One of the core reasons why I will always prefer a nice Chinese meal)

At this specific location, I had visited this place for what the Cantonese people called "Yum Cha". For the rest of us, it's just Dim Sum('Murica!). Of course, being the elite type of restaurant that it is, you have the option to order most lunch dishes and some dinner dishes during this time. I totally took full advantage of this.

Off the Dim sum menu: Siu Mai/Shu Mai turnip cake Phoenix claw/chicken feet Steamed pork ribs Chashu bao(steamed) Po Lo bao/Pineapple bun filled with custard

Off the lunch menu: Chinese broccoli with hoisin sauce BBQ pork with the crispy skin Glutinous Rice

Everything was pretty much on par with most of the best Dim Sum restaurants in the SGV, but I thought the Siu Mai was a little on the weak side. Pork ribs were over the top, and their glutinous rice is stunning and quite decadent.

They've taken the less tradition approach of not using the carts. I prefer the cart-less style dim sum. It's efficient, all your food comes all at once, and they give you a menu to choose from. So just in case you kinda know what you want, but can't really put your hands on a name, there's a title and picture to everything on the menu. Very gwai lo friendly if you know what I mean...It's safe to say that I've never been disappointed at Bei Fung Tang. Dim Sum, lunch special, and fresh seafood dinners.....is there anything...

Buzzy dim sum restaurant with a separate takeout storefront. As of time of writing, they are open for takeout during covid. Their adjusted operating hours are 7am-6pm daily.

Don’t bother calling the number; we tried three times and no one answered. Instead, go in-person and wait in line. Although it’s long, it moves fairly quickly (waited ~15-20 min on a Sunday during lunch hour). Parking is easy since it’s located in the TS Emporium lot. They do accept credit cards. They speak Chinese and English. When it’s your turn, you tell the worker what you’d like and once everything is gathered, you pay in the line for the far left.

Food wise, dim sum always tastes better when it’s fresh off the cart, but this was a solid stand-in. The shu mai has a lot of shiitake mushrooms and the har gap’s skin is pretty thick, but the shrimp roll was good (I liked the sauce a lot) and the sticky rice was moist and tender. They had a limited number of items available so don’t reference the menu (alas they don’t have pineapple buns or custard buns, but sesame balls and egg tarts are available for my sweet-tooth brethren). Service is quick and to the point, so don’t take it personally if you don’t speak Chinese! Overall, it’s a good option for takeout but expect limited options and to wait for a bit when...

Went here with my family (who are avid dim dum eaters and have been all over Asia at the best dim sum eateries) because we heard it's new and that their food is great. Not exactly. Food was just sub-par. It wasn't spectacular by any means. They probably had 1 or 2 dishes that no one had which is Yo Tau (mispelled) wrapped around rice paper and a bunch with some cream egg custard inside. The service itself was almost non-existent. If we don't flag a server, we wouldn't have gotten any. They charge you tea service by the person. Here's what I mean: This place charged us for tea service regardless if a person drank tea or not. Out of our party, they charge both my kids for tea service when they didn't even drank tea. When we inquired about this, they said that they don't charge children 2 yrs of age and below. I get it that this may be common in Asia countries, but this is the U.S. of A. Not an Asian country. For how much they charge and the value along with food taste and service - not worth it. Wouldn't...
