Longo Seafood Restaurant

I discovered this dim sum restaurant on Yelp, and it did not disappoint. The interior is very spacious and bright, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Even though it was a busy Sunday afternoon, we only had to wait about 20 minutes for a table for 9, which was reasonable. The dim sum itself was excellent--flavorful, fresh, and well-prepared. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone craving great dim sum and will be back for sure!

A traditional dim sum place, where you find many family and friends gather. A good value dim sum location. They offer on the lot parking. You'll be amazed at the size of their siu ma, it's pretty stuffing with 2-3 shrimp within. I really liked the fried salty dough. It was chewy and well-balanced with the salty pork filling. Other dim sum I tried were average, but a great honeycomb dessert to end the meal with. Staff were friendly and quick to each request. No complain.

Ordered an assortment of dim sum; Longo Shu Mai, Ha Gow, Spring Rolls, Chiu Chow Fun Gor, Honeycomb Taro, and Beef Chow Fun. The Shu Mai was a decent sized portion of 4, and each one had a good blend of pork and shrimp stacked inside. It's nice to see and taste the shrimp and pork separately as you bite into it, and of course the fish roe on top is always sweet. The Ha Gow was a decent size too, each one was packed with about 4 medium sized shrimp, well worth getting. Both Shu Mai and Ha Gow are staples of dimsum and this places does it right. The Spring Rolls are something you can get every so often, done really well and packed full of veggies inside with a soy sauce and vinegar mix on the side. The Chiu Chow Fun Gor were also well packed with assorted peanuts, mushrooms, and other assorted greens. The honeycomb taro is a fried dimsum that has a fragile honeycomb-like exterior with a dense taro filling and pork inside. And finally, the beef chow fun was ordered with light salt and light msg. This is a great noodle dish to order with decent slices of beef flank interspersed in the noodles and the portion is a good shareable size. Service was prompt if you sat in the main area but the sectioned area might be hard to get their attention. Interior is very gold themed in subtle ways, a balance of elegant and simple. Parking here can be difficult with a medium sized parking lot so you'll likely have to park on the street when it gets busy.

First Visit to [Restaurant Name] - A Dim Sum Feast We decided to check out this place after hearing about it from Rockstar Eater on YouTube. He raved about the flavors, so we had to see for ourselves. Right away, we noticed that the front lobby area is spacious--great for when it gets busy, giving you a place to sit while waiting, unlike many other dim sum spots. The décor looks like it was trendy in the early 2000s, and you can tell they invested some money into it. Beyond dim sum, they offer a wide variety of dishes, though it's not the cheapest option. Many of the tables were occupied by large groups celebrating, which makes sense--the pricing is more suited for a gathering rather than a quick, casual meal. My husband and I love variety, so we ended up spending $80 (including tip). It felt a bit pricey, but we left with plenty of leftovers. What We Ordered: * Lotus Leaf-Wrapped Sticky Rice - Stuffed with diced pork, chicken, a piece of Chinese sausage, and duck yolk. Nice touch! * Char Siu Bao - Fluffy, slightly on the sweeter side, decent but not exceptional. * Football-Shaped Meat Pie - Deep-fried with a mochi-like outer shell. So good and larger than usual! * BBQ Pork Rice Noodle Roll - The same BBQ pork as in the char siu bao, wrapped in a soft noodle roll with a soy-based sauce (almost like ponzu but without the tang). Very tasty. * Shu Mai - Huge, filled with pork and a generous amount of shrimp. Came out piping hot and was delicious. * Pork Riblets with Kabocha Pumpkin - Coated in starch and steamed. Could have been cooked a little longer, but my husband enjoyed it. * Shredded Pork & Century Egg Porridge - Completely lacking in flavor. A pass for us. * Scallop & Shredded Crab Dumplings - Oddly, the menu didn't mention shrimp, but these were packed with it. The crab was real, which was a nice surprise. My favorite dish--absolutely scrumptious! * Squid Ink Egg Custard Bao - Looks fancy, but this is common at dim sum places. Still, very good, with a rich eggy lava filling. * Deep-Fried Mochi Balls with Egg Custard - Similar to the squid ink baos but slightly greasier. I actually preferred these over the squid ink version. Final Thoughts: This was a great find, though in hindsight, we could have skipped a few items. The porridge was a definite miss, and we probably didn't need two similar eggy desserts. If we had cut back on a few things--like skipping the sticky rice and choosing just one dessert bao--we would have saved about $21, making the final bill more reasonable for two people. That said, we'd definitely return, just with a slightly more strategic order next time!

Been here a few times now for both dim sum and dinner. Food is always excellent - probably the best dim sum I've had in the SGV. dinner foods are great with seafood dishes being the standouts, especially anything live. Service is what you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant - you just need to flag down waiters
