A&W Seafood Restaurant

Come here with my family every Sunday because of the dim sum carts. Really good Chinese food chain. Recommend for authentic Chinese food lovers!

I'm picky when it comes to Chinese Food and this location never disappoints, deliciously consistent and always meets or exceeds my expectations... JUST TRY IT AND YOU'LL SEE!

Awesome food.

Had dinner at the A&W on Sherman Way & Reseda. Very good food, authentic Chinese culinary cooking, reasonably priced, clean, friendly staff, clean restroom, plenty parking spaces

No other place I would go to. Always good food and affordable for how much is given!

My new favorite in Reseda. Lo mein is delicious and great soups. Very big portions and reasonable prices.

This place is amazing! Awesome food!

I recently order to go there,and it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The menu offered a delightful variety of authentic Chinese dishes, making it hard to choose. I opted for the spicy Chicken and fish.both of which were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The chicken was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of spice, while the fish were tender and delicious. The service was impeccable; our server was attentive and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, enhancing the overall dining experience. To top it all off, the prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return. Whether you're a fan of Chinese cuisine or trying it for the first time, AW is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

First time here. I ordered the shrimp in lobster sauce with egg fried rice. It was very delicious and the portions were huge! The shrimp tasted fresh and the sauce was very tasty. And the fried rice was also delicious. I would highly recommend this place as they have live fresh crab and lobster to choose from. The place is cozy. Drive around the corner and go behind the restaurant and you will be able to find parking. All in all, the food was delicious, tasty, filling, and yummy. Happy nom noms!

Roast duck is my favourite. Please keep this quality forever..new and fresh.

Been eating this for years... service is still great and food still addictive.

Been going there for decades. Best value Asian seafood restaurant on the planet. At least in LA County. Name a better one if possible. Can't go wrong with Walnut Shrimp, House Special Scallops, Beef Lok Lak, and Fried Calamari

The special house crab and shrimp are the best

Food is a little pricey, but the portions more than make up for it. Very generous and friendly staff. Anything in their garlic sauce or curry is delicious. Fried rice, dim sum, you name it.

Good food made to order by good cooks. Contrary to Google's silly categorisation, this is not connected with the root beer chain from the 70's. Pricing is higher than run of the mill Chinese restaurants that's reflected in the higher quality of the ingredients and flavors. The Yang Chow fried rice is bomb, if you can get past the pure carb aspect of it. It's a meal in itself. Whole shrimp and huge chunks of chopped BBQ pork with the usual compliment of veg and sweet/ salty brown sauce. HUGE portion as well can be shared by several people. Get that and a veg side and you're set. Count on at least $20 per person or more.

It's not what it used to be but it's still awesome. Great food, great seafood and the lunch specials are amazing. Can't go wrong with house special anything. Whole fried fish is awesome as well.

The house special shrimp never misses and the vegetable lo mein. Don't pass on the dim sum either 👍

I ordered fried rice, which was very good and chow mein which was good as well. I come here for quick takeout because it's usually not as busy as their other location in Northridge.

There just isn't a ton of good Chinese options in the valley. Service is adequate and the food is consistent. I don't know if a better Chinese in the valley though I'm still looking.

This is a good place for family diner during week night or weekend. Food here is tasty and every dish comes with good size to share. I often got leftover to bring home.

Food was great. The service can be improved.

This Chinese food is pretty on point! The service was solid, prices are not too bad. The pan fried noodle was delicious- crunchy noodles with sauce, mix seafood, chicken, and veggies on top. The sauce slowly seeps into the noodles making them softer. The flavors were fantastic! I love a place that does this right! We also had some fried calamari, fried pork chop, and other Chinese American food staples. Our family have been coming here for many years. Must trys: Vietnamese sour soup with either fish or shrimp. Yummilicious factor = A

The food is good but not great. It was rather generic fare that wasn't the most flavorful. Even though we picked spicy dishes, they were as bland as can be. I wouldn't be averse to going back but I wouldn't seek out this place. Oh and they were no diet drinks of any type. Only regular full sugar soda. That was a downer!

I've have a great time every time I come here. It is very homely, comfy, and most of the time quiet. Because this location is smaller than the others, they don't offer dim sum, but that doesn't mean their food is bad. I actually prefer to eat all other dishes at this location, compared to the other A&W restaurants. The waitresses are very kind, they make great suggestions of what you should try. They also make sure you enjoy what you are eating. This establishment has been around for a very long time, more than 20 years, so they know what they are doing. This is also a great family establishment. You can come here with many family members and have a nice dinner together. There are so many food options and many vegetable dishes too. If you feel like having some wine with dinner, they have that too. When I am sick, this is the BEST place for soup. If you are sick and don't want to cook, then call them and ask for porridge. It is absolutely delicious with lots of chicken and ginger. Their porridge will definitely help. It is not in their regular menu, so you have to request it. Another soup that I really like is their won ton soup. Yes, this might seem typical to order at any restaurant, but they include chicken and seafood to their soup which makes it so much better.

Decent chinese food in the valley if you're not by Sam Wu. Service is what you expect from a Chinese restaurant. Food is good enough I would come here from time to time.

Food always great. Very happy they improved curb appeal with window photos. Much more welcoming!

We went there this afternoon for Dim Sum. I hadn’t been back to this place since Covid,and was shocked to see how run down it has become. The service was very nice and professional. The prices were decent. The Dim Sum was way too limited and no cart. It just doesn’t have the great dim sum vibe. Even the waitress said, come back and order a bugger dish, it is way better than dim sum. Which was too bad, because dim sum was our interest.

I actually ordered take out... This place used to be the best in the 90's. This use the first time I try it since then and I was shocked... I had the cat fish in garlic sauce, egg plant and two other things but was not impressed.

I visited this place with so much excitement, but food was a complete disappointment. It was not fresh and some of the dishes were slightly on the sweet side even though they mark them as spicy in thier menu.

This Chinese restaurant is good.. but when you order buchoy/ shrimp/w garlic sauce.. they are cheating us.. they gave your oder half cut of the end of buchoy.. i ordered 4-5 times.. and they are always giving not the whole buchoy… is not good if they are doing like this and to other customers. Heads up for the owner of this Chinese reataurant

I am totally disappointed in this restaurant. I’ve been here for years, the food is good but service is not. This is how we were served unprofessionally and all the windows were tagged.

My one star is not for the restaurant, it is for Google who has made a BIG Mistake! You would be hard pressed to find a burger, fries and a Root Beer here. I don't know who catagorized this restaurant but it is not an A&W Root Beer fast food restaurant! I don't think that there are any left either. This is obviously an Asian influenced cuisine restaurant. Please help these poor folks out and change the uninformed discription of their restaurant!

I used to like this place. But suddenly they became dishonest in payment. They charged me extra item and made me look bad in the line. I challenge them if I’m wrong I pay double if I’m right my meal is free. I won but they are not true to themselves.

Cockroach infested restaurant. Absolutely disgusting aside from the terrible customer service they are filthy and proud of their uncleanliness. Do not go here unless you enjoy filth in your food.

FOOD POISONING! I ordered $300 of food from here two nights ago off Uber Eats and I was deathly ill yesterday all day and still sick today. I would highly encourage you to avoid this place. By process of elimination I confirmed it was the shrimp with lobster sauce as I was the only one who ate that dish and I was also the only one who got sick.

It was my first and last time coming to this place. I didn’t like the hustle of the ladies running around with appetizers and soup trying to sell them; on top of that they charge you for the hot sour tea and the 1 ounce of mustard and chili paste mini plate. The shrimp without shell extra charge too. The white rice also gets charge where at other places it is included. This restaurant does not tell you that everything is extra charge. Other restaurants the hot tea is a courtesy. This restaurant’s dining area was very filthy. Watch out for the mustard you may get a very strong headache like I did- mine lasted hours. I would not recommend this place if you want to have a pleasant experience. They really know how to take advantage of customers without their consent.

Food is ok but for the poor service they charge me 18 % gratuity automatically on a party of 5 Definitely I'm not coming back. I think tip should be voluntary and based on the quality of service. Almost forgot if you go there never go to the restroom before eating is nasty

I wasted 60 bucks on all the food supposedly for 4 people and when I got it the portion sizes were small and almost empty and it looks like it’s enough for 2 people. It not fair that they scam their clients, each item costs around 18 bucks. I think it’s time they give us ours moneys worth

Looks and feels that it's had its best days years ago. Dim sum: only above the frozen stuff at the store. Lady forgot I was even there, possibly because I wasn't at a table. Atmosphere "just feels dirty." Need I say more? Nope!

Going into the restaurant I knew it was McDonald's of dim sum at best. I sit down at a table instead of bringing the card around they wanted to know what I want bring the car around. I got some items told the gal I didn't want the tea that was on the table and then she told me if you not going to pay for the tea that I have to pay for the condiments AKA hot mustard and hot sauce combination in a small saucer on the table already. I told her I want to talk to manager . The owner of the restaurant ( she's the real tall unfriendly gal behind the front desk) came over I told her because I was hungry I was going to go ahead and eat but because they wanted $2 for the free condiment did I would never come back. Then she said no problem and I said excuse me she said no problem don't come back so I got up and left. I have been going here on and off since they opened like in the 90s. It's always been just okay but before they were curious and nice but the new owner what a peach. well you'll see if you ever go I'm sure you'll get it figured out real quick they don't care if you come in or not. As I was leaving I turned around looked at the table they to see if i left my phone and they were putting the dim sum that they put on my table for me back on the cart.
