This old-fashioned store is low maintenance but still acceptable. Their dim sum is incredibly tasty and affordable. The Peking duck was particularly delicious, with a crispy skin and juicy meat, whole duck is just about $34. For $88, including 7 dim sum and the whole duck, without tips, it’s a great price, even though they add $1 to each dish.

Like many other dim sum restaurants in Houston, this place is very busy on weekends, so a reservation is a good idea if you have a large group. While the quality of the food was okay, the restaurant was too crowded and noisy. All the shrimp dumpling wrappers were too sticky and broke easily upon touch. The service was minimal, and because we had a large table, we were automatically charged an 18% gratuity.

Crown Seafood has a lot of southern Chinese dishes and seafood. They also offer dim sum and traditional Chinese dishes like beef broccoli, etc. We enjoy their seafood. We order a few days in advance and inform them of how we’d like for them to prepare. Not at all an upscale experience but perfectly fine for casual family meals at a good value!

Crown Seafood is one of my go-to dim sum places. Best to arrive around 11am otherwise there's a wait. There's currently construction at the entrance, so a little hard to find it at first.
After writing down your order, the waiter takes the paper. Food gradually got brought to the table pretty fast.
I usually enjoy most of the food, and always order these: - ha cao (steamed shrimp dumpling) - shrimp xiu mai - banh cuon tom (rice noodle w/ shrimp) - fried taro puff - fried shrimp & pork puff - Chinese broccoli w/ oyster sauce - fried shrimp ball

I recently tried several dim sum items and wasn’t too impressed. The Steamed Shrimp & Pork Dumpling (#2) was decent, and the Steamed Egg York Cream Bun (#17) had a nice creamy filling. But the Soup Dumplings (#15) were a complete letdown—there was no soup inside, and they were nothing like traditional soup dumplings. The Steamed Rice Noodle with BBQ Pork (#26) had pork that tasted old and off, and the Steamed Rice Noodle with Fried Dough (#23) was served cold with soggy fried dough inside. The Pan Fried Turnip Cake (#49) was also cold, and when I informed the manager, they just microwaved it and brought the same plate back. The Fried Bean Curd Roll with Shrimp (#39) was fine but nothing special. To top it off, they charged for tea for everyone, even those who only had water. Overall, the quality was inconsistent, and I won’t be rushing back.

Big restaurant with many large tables. Great for large parties gathering. Great value and large dim sum portions. We came here during Thanksgiving thus no lunch special, otherwise this is a great place for dim sum and freshly prepared meals.
Highly recommended.

Service is here pretty good when it’s not slammed pack. The dim sum is pretty large and freshly made.
Great food for large groups! Love the lobster and Peking duck. It’s often very crowded here for a good reason!

1. The goby fish - meaty, 2. Snoopy leaf - is my favorite 3. They gave free jelly after eating (is vv good idk what it is)
Other than that, the food is okay, but it's a little lacking in flavor. However, it's better than those restaurants that put lots of MSG. Bringing parents here would be great!

Food prices, portion, and tastes are great compared to most Chinese restaurants. This is my place to go eat now. We used to go to Xinh Xinh and since they became greedy and still dirty, we will stop going there. The only thing I do not like for any restaurant including this one, is they automatically charge gratuity for 6 people and above. So they enforce tips as a fee. Ow and not as up to diners to tip extra. I still strongly believe the tip culture is out of hand bc restaurants need to pay salaries like any other job to employees. I do recommend this place for now. Glad I stoll have good options for chinese food without thr price hike which is overpriced already like Xinh Xinh(poor service low quality and quantity food portion, dirty, overpriced). Only thing needed from this Crown seafood is for them to open late like Xinh Xinh since now they close at 9pm. Even if they open till 11pm helps! Will try to update and add some pictures later.
