Newport Seafood Restaurant in San Gabriel

Loved the lobster. Its just fresh and tasty. The beef was also great. Its just better to go in a big group to enjoy more varieties since the portion is probably too big to share with few people. There are many other dishes on the menu to try next time. Prepare to get off the car for valet once you drive into the lot.

Ive been a fan of Newport Seafood Restaurant but the one thing that used to deter me was the parking situation. It was always a struggle to find a spot, and that often discouraged me from coming. However, I recently discovered that theyve switched to valet parking, and its a game-changer! Now, coming here is more convenient than ever.Now, lets talk about the star of the show – the Newport Special Lobster. If you come here and dont order this dish, youre truly missing out. Its not just a signature item; its a culinary masterpiece. The lobster is prepared in a way that enhances its natural sweetness, and the flavors are simply divine. Its a must-try that will leave you craving for more.Another standout dish is the Clam Stir Fry. The combination of fresh clams and their special stir-fry sauce creates a symphony of flavors thats hard to resist. Each bite is a delightful journey of taste and texture, making it a memorable choice.For those who appreciate the delightful crunch of perfectly cooked seafood, the Crispy Fried Squid is a winner. The squid is tender and sweet on the inside, while the batter provides that satisfying crunch. Dip it in their house sauce for an extra burst of flavor – its a winning combination!And lets not forget the Steamed Whole Fish. This dish is a testament to their commitment to freshness and quality. The fish is steamed to perfection, allowing you to enjoy its natural flavors. Its a light yet satisfying choice thats perfect for those seeking a healthier option.

Went here with the family for a nice get together. Their signature house special seasoned lobster sure enough was awesomely delicious! However all the other dishes we got were so good! Deep fried tofu along with its sauce was my personal fave. Kids devoured the Mongolian beef as they loved balance of green onions and beef. The calamari was surprisingly so good too with that crispy batter but still soft tender squid meat. For this place it seems like you cant go wrong with any order! Will definitely come back to try more goodies.Staff were so helpful and accommodating as well.

What happened to this restaurant?? First, they took a lot of dishes from their menu. Ok, thats understandable... but the food was horrible! We ordered salt and pepper crab and it didnt taste fresh, it was bland and dry. We also got squid with shrimp paste and it was super salty. Just because its seasoned with shrimp paste, that doesnt mean, the meal would be really really salty, that you cannot taste the flavor of the squid anymore, not only that, the squid were chewy, meaning--- it was overcooked! The Yang chow fried rice taste awfully salty as well. We couldn’t eat the shrimp because of that. It didnt even taste like the authentic yang chow fried rice. Beef with onions and pepper--- meat was chewy..The service was horrible, waiter came to serve the food and gone gone...Bottomline, this place is going down.. no longer the same as it used to be. Not coming back.

Best lobster Ive ever had! Food here is amazing and worth a trip from San Francisco! Black pepper beef is amazing, tender and juicy, green beans are phenomenal fresh and perfectly cooked. Basil clams were a huge surprise. Ive never had clams cooked this way and tasted amazing. Their salt and pepper squid was definitely better than most can make it. Be sure to get your lobster with noodles!

We ate here on a Sunday after 1:30pm. We were surprised to see that they had mandatory valet parking, but it is for tip only... So that wasnt so bad. The food was delicious, exactly how we expected it. I ate here once before, maybe 10 years ago. We ordered the Yang Chow Fried Rice, the Salt & Pepper Squid, Chicken w/Garlic Sauce, and Beef Chow Fun. The only issue, was that they forgot the Beef in the Chow Fun. We notified one of the waitstaff who took care of it immediately. The staff had a good laugh at the cooks and said that theyve never made that kind of mistake before.

Good part: food taste good, service are excellent. The price maybe considered a slightly high but the portion is big. I would say this is a good place to have a party with 4 or 5 people or even more.Not so good: this is not a hole on the wall place, so I do not like their chopsticks, napkins and tea cups. They all look very cheap.And the bad: maybe we just came in when they are really busy, half of our ordered meals never showed up. Eventually is the server who advised us maybe just cancel the rest of them since it could be even a longer wait. Guess when a restaurant is as busy as they are, customers just are no longer important.

Newport special lobster is a must! Scrumptious noodles in this lobster dish soaked up all the lobster sauce/juice and it was delicious. Fried garlic shrimp was also very good. Ate the whole shrimp, shell on. Fried rice looked nice but tasted ok. YVeggie dish was also ok. Way too many green scallions in each dish. Worth coming back but just for thr lobster dish.

I enjoyed a Saturday family lunch here. We were a party of 8 and I made a reservation through Yelp, but frankly not needed when we arrived at noon. Seems like patrons to this place eat later, as it became full as we were eating. The place was bright and clean. Service was good, although I’m always leery when waitstaff tries to take my order on memory. But they did get the orders correct! We had their house lobster which was tasty but not cheap. Other dishes were overall good.

Nice clean place, lots of parking, staffs are nice, most seafood are good but the two beef dishes we tried aren’t up to par.Ordered the lobster noodles yesterday, felt like it’s quite sweet and too much butter… But that’s just me.Updated!Make sure your fried fish is not a re-heat when ordering. It happened to us…
