EA Seafood Restaurant

My favorite place for Chinese food in Long Beach!This restaurant is tucked away in a residential area next to a liquor store and laundry mat. You'd never think to find some of the best Chinese food in LB hidden away in this quiet neighborhood. They specialize in seafood which is what we've gotten every time. So far we've tried the Kung Pao shrimp, Honey walnut shrimp, Shrimp with clam sauce and Szechuan shrimp. All of them have been delicious (my fav is the honey walnut at the moment since it's not too sweet). But my fiancé and I agree that the Chow Mein is some of the best we've had. It's an absolute must when coming here.We always order take out but plan to dine in one day since the interior is quite beautiful and has a nice ambiance with plenty of seating.

What a great find!!! In the Long Beach Area for work and my coworkers and I thought it would be a great idea to get together for dinner for the Chinese New Year holiday. Only trying to help The ambiance and decor is simple but the food and service makes you forget about all that.

Do not get the Peking Duck. It was dry and didn't have any flavor. And the duck meat was not t correctly.The filet mignon, Mongolian style was excellent.Egg rolls were garbage.Service is slow.Shrimp with lobster sauce was fair.

I love this place!!!! This review is long overdue since I've probably been here around 4-5 times for dinner -- I even had the honor of having my birthday dinner here earlier this year, haha. My partner and I always get the veggie fried rice, orange peel chicken, and stir fried Mongolian beef to share. Food has been delicious every time, and we usually have a lot to take home. When we came with a bigger group for my birthday, we also got the cheese wontons and seafood pan fried noodles. Both were delicious as well; you really can't go wrong with any of their dishes. Prices are on the higher side but considering the quality and how much food you get, I'd say it's pretty reasonable. This spot was formerly a Japanese restaurant and the interior decor definitely still reflects that, but it's a nice ambiance regardless. Service is always phenomenal. My partner and I LOVE their chili oil sauce and go through it like crazy every time we go to EA. Last time we were here, we asked the owner (?) if they sold their sauce, and he came back with a full to-go container of the sauce for us to take home for free! We've been meaning to try their dim sum in the mornings, so we'll be returning soon. Highly recommend (':

Tasty Chinese! It's in an assuming strip mall lot. Interiors make it look like a previous Japanese type restaurant. They have all the Chinese specialties for sharing including a selection of small plates dimsum and larger entrees. Menu was hard to decifer without photos though so we scanned Yelp for photos.

I tried their stir fry beef and it was really good. Perfect lunch plate. It came with egg flower soup that was good and the single spring was perfectly crispy. Another notch.

This time, the three of us went early for lunch and was able to order from the dim sum menu this time. Some of the dishes were quite good, with large portions, but also having the price to account for it. Don't expect Chinatown or SGV quality or prices.We came around 11:00, and surprisingly, we were the only customers. The interior is as nice as described before, and the three of us were seated in a booth/chair combination with plenty of space.All dim sum here are prepared when it is ordered, so preparing might mean just defrosting and steaming it from frozen in most cases. One orders simply from a paper sheet by marking what you want. It will start to arrive as it is prepared, and was inadvertently a nice cadence to we could sample everything as it came. We ended up bringing back about a third of the food homw so we ordered just a little too much for the three of us. Service was excellent throughout, including bringing out sturdy to-go containers for our left overs.Pork Porridge w preserved duck egg ($14.75) - it's a large bowl, enough to serve 4 people multiple helpings. The pork was barely there, but there was plenty of diced up egg...I like the pungent taste of this playing off of the plain congee, but my companions did not. Definitely not for everyone.Steamed pork dumplings ($7.95 each) - Got two of this. this is supposed to be a soup dumpling (XLB). There were five pieces, pretty sure it was prepared from frozen, originally made by a machine (the top didn't have any creases and the wrapper was uniform and thick). Not much soup inside, and the little pork ball had little flavor. Definitely skippable.Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll ($7.95) - one of the best dishes we got. Plenty of plump, well flavored shrimp, surrounded by thick rice noodle sheets, covered in a soy sauce. It needs to be chopped up to be servable, and we did that with our forks.Shrimp dumpling (HarGow for $7.95 each) - got two of this, and it was good and filling. Three large pieces in each order. It wasn't stuffed with whole shrimp like other places, but instead had a very chunky shrimp mixture that gave it a nice flavor and mouth feel. House Special Pan Fried Noodle ($16.95) - presented so beautifully, this dish shows that EA Seafood is elevated Chinese cooking. The brown sauce was good, and it was fun cutting the fried noodle with the provided spoon, making sure you got the side pieces that you wanted.Pineapple Sweet Cream Bun ($7.95) - part of the dim sum menu, it was OK. Tasted like it was prepared from frozen, typical from a Chinese grocery.I'm sure if we knew what we wanted, we could have asked for a right sauce, but wish they had offered a selection of it. The right sauce would really have elevated some of these dishes.

This unassuming former Japanese restaurant in a small strip mall has some awesome Chinese food. We went when they opened on a Saturday and were seated right away by their friendly staff. The dim sum portions are quite large and tasty. Tried a lot of out standards: shu mai, sticky rice, pork ribs, ha gow, tofu rolls, shrimp noodles, baked bao, veggie/shrimp dumpling, gin duey and egg tarts. We also had a Peking duck and chow fun. Super generous portions and we can't wait to go back.

Solid 4 stars. I haven't been here before and didn't look at pictures, so was a bit surprised when I parked. The outside is unassuming with no windows, inside a small plaza with a smoke shop next door. When you walk in, it feels like a Japanese restaurant. I'm Chinese and I thought the food was above avg. You put in the order with pencil and paper and the food comes out shortly. Listed in order of best to worstHK style beef chow fun - first dish that came out, big portion, good tasteSiu mai - pretty good taste, 4 big pieces and had a nice bounceBlack bean sparerib - pretty good flavor, wish there was more black bean sauceHa gow - 3 big pieces (wish it was 4), thicker outer layer, decentChicken feet - more of a yellowish color, below avg. Pork rice noodle roll - ordered it thinking it was the red cha siu but it was more like ground pork. Felt doughy. Not a lot of meat. $80 for 2 people (guy and girl) and had some leftovers. I wanted to give it a 4 stars but I couldn't. Some of the main dishes were good, but some of them were a miss. But I would go back and give it another shot.

Great place, Wonderful service, many tasty options! I would recommend if you are in the area. They are now serving Dim Sum
