Ocean Seafood Restaurant

This place has amazing food, really good quality and a great selection. The service is good and better than most hygiene for a dim sum restaurant (takes a little getting used to, seeing all the serving staff with clear plastic shields covering their face). Why only 4 starts for such a good establishment? Price. Overall the food is reasonably priced, not that much higher than a lot of other places I've been to, but upon getting the check you discover that if one person asks for tea everyone at the table is charged $4.50 for tea - 10 people in your group, one wants tea, add $45 to your bill instantly. Way too much, especially as that was the only let down in service, it didn't arrive until halfway through the meal and they were really busy, so no refill once empty - It was the same person running chili and mustard, as well as tea, those arrived over halfway through the meal as well.. Fix the tea price/service, drop off chili-oil and mustard before the food arrives, you are instantly a 5* restaurant Ocean Seafood!

As typical tourists, we spent the afternoon wandering about Chinatown. That made us hungry so we decided to find a place to eat. We selected Ocean Seafood because of the beautiful and almost hypnotic lobby area, the excellent menu, and the "A" rating from the health department posted by the door. We shared egg rolls, fried rice, and Peking duck. All dishes were excellent and quite tasty. Great choices for us. For a genuine ethnic Chinese dining experience, this place was truly fantastic! Service was excellent!

Arrived around 1pm, worried since dimsum ends at 3pm. Busy, but no wait. Still plenty of dishes to choose from. Ordered beef chow fun off the menu. Yum. Classic 2nd floor restaurant, attentive staff. Will totally return. They validate parking, or inexpensive all-day lots nearby ranging $5-$6. Strolled around the various shops afterward.
