Expert Reviews of Ocean Seafood Restaurant

Citysearch | Chinatown's beloved Cantonese seafood palace, where live fish, shrimp and crab swim for your supper.

User Reviews of Ocean Seafood Restaurant

Great Dim Sum

The food here is always great but best earlier in the day when it is hotter and fresher on the dim sum carts. Best Dim Sum in LA that we have found.

Dimsum

Every once in awhile I must have some dimsum. It's like an addiction, something you know is not good for you but you still crave it. Ocean Seafood is not the best dimsum that I've ever had but it is still very...

My Chinatown Dim Sum Choice

If I had to do dim sum in Chinatown, this would be my preference. The choices are many, the service quick and friendly, and huge bank of floor to ceiling windows makes the room seem bigger than it is. If you...
