Longo Seafood Restaurant

First Visit to [Restaurant Name] - A Dim Sum FeastWe decided to check out this place after hearing about it from Rockstar Eater on YouTube. He raved about the flavors, so we had to see for ourselves. Right away, we noticed that the front lobby area is spacious--great for when it gets busy, giving you a place to sit while waiting, unlike many other dim sum spots. The décor looks like it was trendy in the early 2000s, and you can tell they invested some money into it.Beyond dim sum, they offer a wide variety of dishes, though it's not the cheapest option. Many of the tables were occupied by large groups celebrating, which makes sense--the pricing is more suited for a gathering rather than a quick, casual meal. My husband and I love variety, so we ended up spending $80 (including tip). It felt a bit pricey, but we left with plenty of leftovers.What We Ordered: * Lotus Leaf-Wrapped Sticky Rice - Stuffed with diced pork, chicken, a piece of Chinese sausage, and duck yolk. Nice touch! * Char Siu Bao - Fluffy, slightly on the sweeter side, decent but not exceptional. * Football-Shaped Meat Pie - Deep-fried with a mochi-like outer shell. So good and larger than usual! * BBQ Pork Rice Noodle Roll - The same BBQ pork as in the char siu bao, wrapped in a soft noodle roll with a soy-based sauce (almost like ponzu but without the tang). Very tasty. * Shu Mai - Huge, filled with pork and a generous amount of shrimp. Came out piping hot and was delicious. * Pork Riblets with Kabocha Pumpkin - Coated in starch and steamed. Could have been cooked a little longer, but my husband enjoyed it. * Shredded Pork & Century Egg Porridge - Completely lacking in flavor. A pass for us. * Scallop & Shredded Crab Dumplings - Oddly, the menu didn't mention shrimp, but these were packed with it. The crab was real, which was a nice surprise. My favorite dish--absolutely scrumptious! * Squid Ink Egg Custard Bao - Looks fancy, but this is common at dim sum places. Still, very good, with a rich eggy lava filling. * Deep-Fried Mochi Balls with Egg Custard - Similar to the squid ink baos but slightly greasier. I actually preferred these over the squid ink version.Final Thoughts:This was a great find, though in hindsight, we could have skipped a few items. The porridge was a definite miss, and we probably didn't need two similar eggy desserts. If we had cut back on a few things--like skipping the sticky rice and choosing just one dessert bao--we would have saved about $21, making the final bill more reasonable for two people.That said, we'd definitely return, just with a slightly more strategic order next time!

We're here at the open and was swarmed by aunties and uncles trying to get in front of us even they came after us. One old lady even yelled at us because she could not get in front of us since there were so many people trying to fit through the door all at once. That is the Chinese way and I found it amusing. It reminds of that Star Wars Meme from the Mandolin series that creed they say to each other "THIS IS THE WAY". This is was our favorite spot for fancy Dim Sum but it was not as good as we remember. It looks like all the good chef's got herded to Chef Tony's.Everything was not as good as we remember. The taste. The presentation. I had high hopes for the Lobster dumping but it was just ok. It needed some sauce like how they do it at Pallet where they give you tiny squeeze bottle and you can inject it in the the dumpling would have been nice.This still beats most of the places in Las Vegas.

Been here twice now. Our first experience was definitely better than the second. Some items just weren't as good as they originally were. So I was kinda disappointed by that. Food isn't really bad by any means but just not as good as it was before in terms of taste, seasoning and temperature. I'd say it's more like a 3.7 now.Service is good though.

My family reserved a banquet room in the back and ordered a ton of dishes. Everything was delicious. I only had photos of my favorites unfortunately since I didn't want to hold up the eating. One star off since service was slow and inattentive even though we were in a VIP room. We had to go outside the room to find a waiter a few times. Also, the parking was packed so you are left trying to find street parking. Not sure if it was just that day or the usual. I didn't bother driving into the lot since I saw a car backup.

Quick recap of our order: Hot and sour soup 4/5Honey walnut shrimp 4/5King crab 3 ways- HK style 4/5- Steam garlic with vermicelli 4/5- crab fried rice 3/5Beef and mushroom 3/5Ong Choy 4/5Fried intestine 4/5Red bean tapioca desert 5/5 -----Came to check out their promotion on king crab, it's $29.99/lb. Arrived for an early dinner and there wasn't much of a wait, we were able to be seated fairly quickly. The wait staff was attentive and provided an exceptional experience for us. Will definitely be back to try more!

Came here for a family dinner. Service was good. There was ample parking in the back. Loved the fried lobster, noodles, filet mignon cubes, walnut shrimp. They also give complimentary dessert!

Been here a few times now for both dim sum and dinner. Food is always excellent - probably the best dim sum I've had in the SGV. dinner foods are great with seafood dishes being the standouts, especially anything live. Service is what you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant - you just need to flag down waiters

This has become my go to spot for dim sum whenever I'm back in the area. The service is alright although there are times when it's harder to get someone's attention.The food is good and the shrimp dumpling and pork shumai are larger than usual. They are typically the items that are always ordered. The pork spare ribs are usually good and the tripe is a family favorite. My mom usually gets the lava salted egg yolk bun which is definitely a crowd pleaser. Overall the ambiance is what one is use to when going to a dim sum restaurant in the 626. There have been times where we wish the food was hotter but usually the restaurant is consistent with their dishes.

This review is strictly for the dim sum. I went to Longo Seafood in Rosemead today since I was off for Juneteenth. This place was one of my favorite dim sum restaurants in the 626 because of the lobster Har Gows, but today I ordered a lot of the traditional dim sum plates.By comparison, this restaurant has better texture, flavor and proportions compared to Capital and 888 seafood. My favorite items in order:Siu Mai: giant and juicy Beef chow fun: big portions and lots of wok hei Har Gows: great texture Charcoal egg yolk baos Dislike dishes: taro hom siu gok: too oily Cheung fun( rice rolls) texture was too clumpy Overall the food tasted awesome. One tidbit that I didn't like was that they added gratuity automatically for our party of 7. That part was not cool because most dim sum places have very poor service.

Great seafood. Nice interior. Great service (maybe because we were in VIP room). The seafood tastes fresh and delicious. The soy sauce chicken is also quite good. Would definitely come again. Keep in mind it's in a lowkey wack area but at least there's a parking lot with lots of spaces.
