LV Seafood

LV Seafood is a solid option for a satisfying meal with generous portions. Located on Norse Way, it has plenty of indoor seating and convenient street parking.I came for lunch on a Sunday, hoping to try the lunch combo, but unfortunately, they don't offer it on Sundays. Instead, I opted for the Mongolian beef entree from the dinner menu (around $18), which came with an egg roll, a cup of soup, and rice. This is a great deal considering the portion size. The food was delicious, and the Mongolian beef had great flavor.Service was very efficient. We were seated quickly and our food arrived promptly. The complimentary tea was a thoughtful touch! Overall, a great experience.

Even though prices keeps going up everywhere else, this place is consistent with their pricing. Still the best value around the area for a great quality foods.Their lunch specials are great. Portion is good. Free hot tea and fortune cookies. Also, free steamed rice. Can't beat that!Service is always top notch. Very attentive staff members. Parking can be challenging but the food makes up for it.

My friends and I went to LV for dinner on a Saturday night. It was semi busy so it took a few minutes to find parking, luckily a few spots in front opened up eventually. There doesn't appear to be a parking lot but there are spaces on the street (which has parking lot like spaces).Inside, the restaurant has an old school sort of feel, like the Chinese restaurants I would go to as a kid in the 1980s. We got seated toward the back at a large round table w a lazy Susan. The table itself was rather wobbly and pushed so close to the wall that one side of the table had chairs no one could access or sit in because the table next to us was too close and to get into those seats or around them would have required the other table's diners to stand up--and they willfully ignored us. Having other customers be unwilling to move isn't the restaurants' fault but putting the tables too close is. At any rate, our group was able to sit around 3/4 of the table and fit but once people were sitting, most could not get up unless 3 or 4 others also got up to allow the person through. It was worse than being in the window seat of a plane as at least those usually only go 3 people deep, not 6.As we sat, we were still waiting on 2 more people to show up but the staff, though cheerful and friendly, came back like every 30 seconds asking us if we were ready to order. Eventually our straggler friends arrived and we ordered.The food came out very fast and even though we ordered about 8 dishes, they all came out within 10 minutes of the first dish hitting the table (probably less).We ordered the salt pepper fish, braised string beans, sausage fried rice, beef bok choy, walnut shrimp, eggplant and a few others (I can't recall). We were a pretty hungry group so we went through the food before I could snap any pics. Overall, the group really liked the eggplant, the fish and the shrimp. I thought everything tasted decent but I wasn't necessary blown away by anything, but for the price, I was satisfied with the flavor and quality.When we finished, it took a while for the check to come and we had a hard time flagging down staff to get the check. The staff was always doing something, and they were always friendly, but they could probably use some tweaking to their service habits to ensure customers get the service they need when they need it and to make sure customers aren't crammed into a tight corner. PS - this was my first time but my other friends who live around the corner mentioned to me that they usually do pick up to go quite frequently, so food is good but dine-in service could use a little help.

Old school, which is fine by me! Seeing the dated interior, listening to instrumental music, LV Seafood has a vibe of a Chinese restaurant stuck in a time warp decades ago. Unlike modern Chinese/Asian Fusion restaurants, with booming hip hop/rap music & trendy food names, I dig the vibe of yesteryear at LV Seafood.Lunch Special menuhttps://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=g7j-gm-GH28o-7ZWYfgftg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA My litmus test for Chinese food, Mongolian beef was on the Lunch Special menu, therefore Mongolian beef was lunch for the dayMongolian beef lunch special-https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-4XTqfjvICwd5SnV6Kkw9A&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Tender chunks of juicy beef, I highly enjoyed LV Seafood's Mongolian beef. Ample amounts of scallion, the plate was delicious and satisfying.https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gYbJxJ2XGk_jYeP-lPUrfA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. The spacious dining room was mostly empty. Parking is via shared parking spaces & private lots at the Norse Way Village in Long Beach. LV Seafood is a classic Chinese restaurant, which I hope never goes away. The food is good, moderately priced, without pretentious or modern trendiness. Timeless, if you will. I look forward to visiting again, soon.

My go to place for Chinese when I'm back in the area. Amazing authentic food and great service in a family run place. Have been coming here for over a decade and the owners are the sweetest can be. It's nice that they have more staff in than just their family and have been going strong. Perfect little causal place to come with family or friends so you can order more and take a little of everything. It really feels comfortable coming back here and everyone here works so hard. I always get takeout, but you are greeted right away and they still ask if we want a table each time. Always have to get the pan fried noodles, dry chow fun, Chinese broccoli, and whatever protein in salt and pepper. When I used the eat meat they had the best deals and freshest seafood possible. The chow fun is always overflowing the takeout container and filled with crispy vegetables. The pan fried noodles literally haunt my dreams. They keep the noddles so crispy and that sauce they put on top is perfect. Their crab Rangoon are triangles so I think the ratios are better. The salt and pepper tofu is perfectly crispy and traveled so well. Make sure to add plenty of garlic and jalapeños to each bite if you can. Love that they expanded their menu to include more vegan options so dietary restrictions rejoice! They also don't charge for their condiments so have at it with the hot mustard and chilli oil. This place is truly an institution and I cannot say enough good things about my first stop as soon as I land at the airport.

I have been meaning to try this place for ages, and I finally had the opportunity during my lunch break.All the staff talked to each other in Cantonese, which was a good sign that the food is authentic as well. My roasted duck soup noodle was good, as the duck was traditionally prepared and flavorful. However, the consistency of the noodles tasted like instant ramen. I don't know whether it's undercooked or that's the intended effect, but I was not thrilled. The steamed bok choy was delicious and balanced the richness of the duck well.I also enjoyed the hot pot of tea that's served for all the customers without me even asking for it. The tea was fragrant and tasted good, especially on a cold day.Service was decent. I was seated right away and the server took my order shortly after. I did have to wave down the staff to pay my bill, but that didn't take long either.Parking was tricky along this weird diagonal street, as it was hard to monitor cross traffic backing out.

This place was busy on Christmas Day, but there aren't many options on this day. Luckily, they have a lot of seating outside. It took us about 30-40 minutes to get seated. Once we were seated, we ordered a few plates, such as Honey Walnut Shrimp, Orange Chicken, Fried Pork Dumplings, and noodles. When everything came out, it was all delicious. The one thing we didn't get to enjoy was their orange chicken because it came out when we were ready to leave. We had to take it to go. The ironic part was that four different employees asked us if we were good, and all four times, we told them we were missing the Orange Chicken. Given the pace and volume of orders they were probably receiving, I was very sympathetic to the kitchen. I would most definitely come back gain.

We recently moved to Long Beach and we were craving for some authentic Chinese food and guess what, we found it! We really enjoyed it and we will be going back to try different dishes. Out of ordinary we ordered szechuan eggplant and it was BOOM! We will be definitely coming back to try different dishes. Service was great and seems like family run restaurant and they were super friendly.

After shopping, we decided to eat dinner here at L.V. Seafood Restaurant in Long Beach. A friend told us about this place and it will hit the spot if you are craving old school, genuine Chinese cuisine. We arrived a little past 8 pm, and there were maybe 3 other parties dining inside. The place is big so they could accommodate a big party if need be. The staff is very nice, and when we realized we were the only ones left, they told us not to rush. We ordered the House Special Fried Rice, Beef & Broccoli, and the Salt & Pepper Pork Chops. Every dish was freshly made and perfect! Nothing was too salty or underseasoned. The portions are good, and the prices reflect that.Sam, the owner, brought us take out containers to pack up our leftovers. He chatted briefly with us, telling us how he and his family have been in business since 1996! Wow!! That's awesome, and I'm so glad they were able to stay afloat during and after the covid pandemic!L.V. Seafood will be on my radar when I'm in the Long Beach area craving some good Chinese food! Support this local small business, and fill your bellies without breaking the bank! ;)

I got 2 orders of orange chicken and 2 orders of salt and pepper fried squid for a small Christmas potluck with friends. The serving was pretty big and we had leftovers. I really like the orange chicken because it was very crispy and thinly sliced. The squid was also really good, crispy and didn't taste oily. It is delicious dipped in red vinegar. The entrees came with steamed white rice. Everything was reasonably priced especially for the portion size. I am definitely going to order more often at this restaurant and would like to try their lunch specials.
