I am always looking for a good dim sum restaurant. I love this place, you can walk in and get good dim sum at a reasonable price. And yes they come out in the steam carts. Great place. Have not tried it for dinner only dim sum. More

Not only is the dim sum wonderful at King Lobster Palace, but the dishes off the menu are terrific, as well. Their lunch "special" is some of the pieces of dim sum for only $1.95, but almost anything you order is not just good, but VERY good. There is plenty of parking behind the restaurant. As the place is still... More

Nice dining room, clean and spacious. The food is acceptable but cannot be compared with real Asian areas of LA or OC. The service is impersonal, slow and brisk. I went with my family and children (10 people) and were left on our own for a long time. The price is in the expensive side. We sill do not have... More

My wife and I came from montreal and they have great Dim Sum so our expectations are high. This place is not as good as montreal but I have to say for the area outside of Downtown LA this place is wonderful. Friendly staff and the food is great. More

Pretty good Cantonese food. Pricing is not cheap but not gouging. Lobster was OK, large scallops (although chopped up) in my Kung Pao Scallops. Sluggish service. More

We tried the dim sum here only. We ordered the usual favorites - shrimp har gow, shrimp chow fun, chicken feet, egg custard tart, shrimp/chives dumpling, bean curd roll, chines broccoli, etc. Unfortunately, some of the food was definitely not the freshest. I don't know if I would come back. More

Very good chef with authentic cantonese style seafood and dim sum. Attractive dining room, good service. I am chinese and very discerning fan of chinese food. Prices are fair for the quality of food and pleasant dining atmosphere. We had the spicy egglant, sauteed fish fillets with chinese greens, sauteed claims with asian basil, garlic and green onions. All were... More
