Reviews for Tang Gong Seafood Restaurant in Monterey Park, CA
Good, solid dim sum. Was able to make a reservation for a table of 12 the same day. The restaurant was large, brightly lit and... clean-looking. The dishes that stood out for us was the Har Gow (crystal shrimp dumplings), Ngao Yuk (beef meatballs), Siu Mai(pork and shrimp dumplings), Lo Bak Go (pan-fried radish/turnip cake), Liu Sha Bao (lava egg custard buns), and How Choi Gau(pan-fried chive/leek dumplings). I'd avoid the Don Tot (egg tarts) and Mai Lai Go (yellow steam cake)...they are betterelsewhere. Read more
We went to this restaurant for dim sum yesterday. Other dim sum flavors are ok. French BBQ pork buns are not my favorite. But... it takes about half an hour to wait for dim sum. Read more
Place was lively on a weekday lunchtime. Feels like the Chinese folks in the know love this place. I love seeing the bad one... star reviews. Yes please stay away. This place is so good I?d like to steer people away and keep it all to myself. They aretaking covid protocols well. Keeping things very clean and also have some limited outdoor tables. The food is just beyondamazing. Basically order anything off the dim sum menu and it was delicious. Prices are on par with other dim sum spots. Thestand out was the baked crispy pork bun. If you don?t wanna believe this review. Please please take the advice of the one starreviews and stay far away. Read more
Good dim sum but bad service. We waited for 15 minutes before we can find someone to take our orders. Their dim sums are ok as... it offers the usual Cantonese style dim sum like Ha Gao and Xiao Mai. This is not the same as the restaurant chain with the samename in China. The food varieties are different on the menu. Will not come back again Read more
Dinner was very good. Fresh food including lobster, shrimp, fish, pork, something for everyone. Service was excellent.
Dinner was excellent. I have not tried dim sum yet. The interior is clean and new. Seafood was very fresh and prices were... reasonable. We had lobster, geoduck clam, and fish. The geoduck clam was cooked in two ways--sliced/stir fried with veggiesand the shell portion was cooked in a soup which was really good. The fish was also cooked two ways-- filleted and stir friedwith veggies and the belly, fins and bones were fried and then cooked in sauce...all very good. Read more
Recommended for dim sum yum cha but price per dish was a bit higher than other dim sum places in the area, regardless of Small,... Medium, or Large dim sums. Egg Tarts were well worth it with very crispy crusts and standard Shu Mai also good choices. AVOIDRoasted Pork Belly with Macao Style. Menu states photos are for reference only and they really mean it with this order. Photo inmenu looks like a generous plate with 20 pieces. The real dish had 12 and laid out in such a way to look somewhat scarce (onepiece was eaten in photo). It's a small complaint but it was a premium dish so other restaurants (Monterey Palace) serve thisbetter. If not for this incident, would have rated 4. Management kept insisting this was the order they serve and that of courseit's a little exaggerated as it's a stock photo but despite the fine print, it felt misleading (other dishes we ordered withphoto references matched quantity [egg tart]). Order swapped with a Beef Chow Fun which was good. This is a new restaurant andinterior is very...grandiose (excessive gold theme borderlining tacky). One other complaint is the table set up. It feltuncomfortable that the tables and chairs were set such that people had knees touching table leg frames. Would have preferred ifone of their morning setup checks was to make sure tables were organized so there was actual legroom underneath for customers.Would still remain on list of dim sum places to go but is middle pack.

I ordered a few Dim Sum dishes from Tang Gong by using an App. The food was overall worse than what I remember. The beef balls... and Chinese chives dumplings are still pretty good, but the shrimp meat in the shrimp dumplings are not fresh. The rice noodlesin the beef chow fun are all in small pieces. TBH it?s quite disappointing considering its pricing is not low compared to manyother Dim sum places in SG valley. Read more
