A&W Seafood

Our family loves this place. It is geographically between my brother's place in Moorpark and our home on the Westside. We meet for dim sum 2 or 3 times during the year. It's not fancy, nor does it need to be, but the food is good, fresh and consistent. The Auntie is always busy but always stops to ask us if we need anything else. ❤️

A surprise find in the San Fernando Valley. It reminded me of a dim sum place in the heart of Sydney's Chinatown. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great dim-sum place! Food was awesome, employees are nice, and the vibe gives early 2000s! Will 100% come back here again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We've been to this A&W before several years ago (there are actually three locations in the SF valley) and decided to try it again for Chinese New Year. It was after 2pm when we arrived and they were still serving dim sum from carts though it was slim pickings at that late hour, so we also ordered from the menu. The menu is heavily seafood oriented, but there are many traditional Chinese items available. We got a fried rice dish, a garlic chicken, and string beans (my partner doesn't eat seafood). All the dishes including the few dim sum items were flavorful, maybe a bit on the oily and salty side, but decent. The dim sum looked like it was made on site. I, being raised on Chinese food, would say that the dishes were close to authentic. Portions were generous. This is an old school Chinese restaurant with older aunties serving you with friendly but bare minimum service. Don't be surprised by slightly sticky table coverings and missing condiments (we just grabbed soy sauce from the next table). If you want better food, go to the San Gabriel Valley, but that's a long drive for us. If you want better service or environment, go to PF Chang's but you won't get the authentic dim sum and seafood. A&W is a great option if you're seeking good Chinese food in the Valley.

Lunch traditional dim sum. Good, not great. Very slow day, and server was super pushy. One good thing she refilled the tea quickly and often. 3 stars for atmosphere due to cold and dark.

Very good. Just Dim Sum was not hot, so we left it.

Nice little place to have dim sum!

This place is definitely a little long in the tooth. It looks like it could use an uplift, some elbow grease - to clean it up, and perhaps a visit from the health board. Not that I specifically saw anything terrible, but I just want to be sure that the place is safe. The food is very good. Finding great dim-sum nearby my Simi Valley home is fantastic. I have been here several times over the years and the great dish selection is always consistently good. At over $50 for two, they seem a little high-priced, which may explain the lower number of customers this time around. Their staff is friendly, very good, and quick with any special orders. I will certainly be back, soon.

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.

Service is fast. A little outdated and feels very old and sticky. Half of the items are great and some were served cold and no longer warm and appetizing. I saw the other table ordered some lobster and might be ordering that instead next time.

Food: most of the dim sum plates are straight from pre-made frozen meals u can get from grocery stores Service: asked for check, waited for 15 min no coming. Ended up walking up to the counter. Mandatory 18% AFTER tax tip for 6+ group Atmosphere: could have been a new restaurant 30 years ago, everything still here, even the World Trade Center (their wall procure) Overall: bad food, over priced

Take it or leave it. I'll pass. If you want bland, flavorless, cheap food quality, this is the spot for you. Food: the steamed __fill in the blank___ are all bland. No taste, no salt. To add insult to injury, there isn't any kind of "real" dipping sauce. It's either that powdered yellow mustard stuff, or hot chili paste/oil. You have to ask for vinegar if you want it. Uhm, no thanks. I was expecting like a nice sweet rice wine vingar with onion, or fish sauce, or something. Sticky rice in green leaves. Yuck! Too mushy for me. No salt. BBQ something or other in white puffy dough. Too much white puffy dough, and not enough filling. Shrimp... nah, it tastes like it's past due the expiration date by a week. Pork Ribs.. all bones and hard cartilage. Hardly any "meat" on those bones. Atmosphere: "sticky" and crummy. It's like the whole place needs a shower. I won't be back.

Personally I don’t think the food is that good we ordered some dumplings they were overcooked and getting them out of the container was not cute. Then I ordered shrimp in lobster sauce and there was no flavor it was more like eggs with flour and water…I’m thinking about returning with my kids and see if we order something else is worth it

Horrible management!!!! The owner was very nasty and aggressive when addressing incorrect order manager refused to correct order arrived early and parking was an issue limited parking spot and prices are RIDICULOUS so not worth the price and or Quality of food save your money and go elsewhere!!!!!

Dirty and so outdated. Both entrance door were open so flies are coming inside the restaurant. Food was poor taste unlike previous years (dry siomai , hard squid in the calamares). Won’t be eating there anymore

A very good Chinese (sea)food.👍 My first time having dinner at this restaurant after a round of golf @Knollwood⛳️ and the foods were deliciously better than I expected. Codfish filet w/ black bean sauce was a bit salty but washed it down w/ a glass of Tsingtao beer. A great find. I'll surely revisit next time I'm in the area.

Horrible experience. Dim sum flavors were basic. Selection was very poor. They were not busy and yet seemed to purposely overlook me. No hot sauce unless you order tea. Overpriced by about 30%.

Very bad food, taste like microwaved frozen food

Pretty sure, this is the only restaurant that charged customer for a bottle of water. It’s been 4-5 yrs since they stopped the refill for all the fountain sodas due to covid & they only serve bottled of water so they can charge you for it. I guess they rather have less customer.
