Newport Seafood Restaurant

For all you crab lovers there willing to spend one hour of your life waiting in line for authentic Cantonese style seafood, I recommend Newport Seafood Restaurant. Once you step into the beautifully decorated dining area and fill your nose will scents of savory sauces and steamed delicacies, you'll forgive the waiting list (playing Cut the Rope on your phone will help too!). I visit the restaurant pretty often, which has two locations:

1. 518 West Las Tunas Drive, San Gabriel, CA (626) 289-5998 (My favorite location)

2. 18441 Colima Road, Rowland Heights, CA (626) 839-1239 (An older location but newly remodeled)

Once you are at your table, DO NOT ask the waiter for recommendations. The waiters there are less than friendly and will read you a bunch of numbers that correspond to the numbers on the menu. Trust me, they speak fast and do not repeat. However, you can save some time by ordering these tried and true dishes:

1. House Special Lobster
2. House Special Crab
3. Salt and Pepper Shrimp
4. House Special Clams

*Some names might be a little incorrect because we usually order in Chinese...

These four dishes and a bucket of rice will satisfy your hunger! Just be prepared for the bill...
