I haven’t been in a while since we moved away from the area and unfortunately it has declined in quality. Perhaps unrelated but the aquarium they have on display is a tell-tell sign of the pride and quality decline? Very disappointed but the people continue to be very

You probably cannot find a more authentic seafood dim sum restaurant on the north and west side of the 101/405 interchange. Complete with the aggressive dim sum cart lady stacking steamers onto your table almost as soon as you sat down. And whereas they didn't used to be as good, during the most recent visit, something has changed and for the better. The various dim sum dishes taste almost the same as the dim sum I have had the good fortune to experience in both Hong Kong and Taiwan. What a difference! And I do know because I just had dim sum the previous week in China Town. Save yourself the driving, the airfare, and the hassle of travel if you get a hankering for dim sum. Try A&W Seafood Restaurant in Northridge they will fill the bill and save you time and money.

Slow service and overpriced sub-mediocre food. Quality can be described as $1 Chinese food (greasy, frozen, odorous) in a sit down restaurant. Steamed dim sum was rubbery. The cod fish has an ammonia smell that even the sauce couldn't disguise. Rice for our table was served last after the main dishes had already been picked at, and it was probably the only thing that was edible. I feel bad for wasting food, but I also don't want to be accused of animal abuse by giving the leftover to-go portions to my dog. Such a dilemma.Eating at A&W Seafood is like an injection of disappointment and depression into your life. Imagine ordering Hooter's fries through UberEats at 11pm on a Saturday night only for them to arrive soggy and unseasoned, while you work in another city away from the home you miss. Yeah, that's how bad A&W Seafood is.Next time I'll drive to the SGV for good Chinese.

Honestly hands down the most authentic Chinese food in the San Fernando Valley. I’ve been to many Chinese places in the past 20 years and this one is by far the best!

Mom was craving seafood. Decided to revisit this restaurant. It's been a few years since last time. Ordered Orange peel chicken and Crab house specialty style. Orange chicken was nice. Cooked well with balance of orange flavor. It is not spicy compared to others. Mom went with the whole crab. $25.95/lb. Was around 2 1/2 pounds. Pricey for lunch, but it's what mom wanted. Not very much flavor. I think it was a very mild seasoning. A lot of work having to get your hands dirty. There are plenty of leftovers for two people. Beware, they charge $3 for the little dish of mustard and chili that they bring out as you sit. Maybe because they offer dim sum as well. If we had used it, I probably wouldn't be offended. I'm not overly impressed, maybe why we haven't been there for a while.
The best Resturant on the planet! This location I have been coming to for the last 7 years has been the best experience of my life ? here, they make everything so delicious and authentic and fresh! All of their dishes are so flavorful bursting with flavor and fragrant with aromas from all their spices I’m completely obsessed ? all the food here is amazing. I’m sure everyone who comes here will be just as obsessed ! Now go eat! I promise everyone will love enjoy to full! ❤️ ❤️

I used to go here all the time. Went there for lunch and ordered one siu mai and one Garlic chicken. Was about $30.00. Dim sum was ok , kind of chewy and the garlic chicken was salty. Not much care in the food. I told the waitress and told her about being salty. Didn’t really care. Like she didn’t care or understand me. Wanted to charge me for chili sauce and tea. Things that used to be complimentary. No wonder why this place was empty at 1:30 in the afternoon. Used to be packed every day. I was truly disappointed in the service and food.

Dumplings are good. Service is horrible. Staff has no concept of customer service. They are loud, rude, and doing you a favor. We enjoy the dumplings. If you can ignore the horrible customer service and attitude of the staff, give it a try.

The Dim-sums were ok. Wish the stuffing could be more. Fast paced eating place. Don’t mind if on weekends the people serving are running around.Loved the idea of getting hot dim-sums at your table, but if you are in a table farther away from the kitchen, most likely your choices will be limited.The hot tea, chili paste/sauce are not free, they quietly add it to the check.Also ensure the check is for your table.Our got mixed up.

I would give this place 3.5. The good used to be good good prior to pandemic. Service is ok. Not the best. The place inside remain and still a little chaotic tho. They can do better and improve things.
Great
