NBC Seafood Restaurant is one of the best places for dim sum! The dim sum is fresh, delicious, and full of authentic flavor. Great selection, generous portions, and everything comes out hot and perfectly prepared. The shrimp dumplings, siu mai, BBQ pork buns, and other traditional dishes are excellent. A great place to enjoy authentic dim sum with family and friends. Definitely worth coming back!

I arrived at 10:40 AM and got a table. As soon as I sat down, the dim sum cart rolled over, and I had my siu mai, sticky rice in lotus leaf, and jasmine tea all served in less than a minute. Before I could even take a bite, another food cart passed by and asked what I wanted next. While I appreciate the fast service, it was a bit overwhelming having food piled up before I even started eating. The food was great in terms of price, portion, and taste. If you're starving and hate waiting, I highly recommend this place.

This is my go-to dim sum for this area. My family lives in Ventura county, and we've been coming down here for birthdays and mother's days for years. I'm pretty surprised I haven't reviewed this before, so apologies for the limited pictures. This place is the standard to which I judge all other dim sum in the area. We always have a good time, the food is always good, and you can't beat pushcart dim sum. The standards (har gow, siu mai, etc.) are reliable and delicious. The random others we try are excellent representations of what they should be, whether or not we like them as much. But, I don't think we've ever had a bad dish here! The salted egg yolk is a standout, every dumpling we try is delicious. The bbq pork bun is sweet and savory, the list goes on. Service is better than I expect (they don't seem to mind non-Chinese) and despite the prevalence of other options we always seem to come here for our dim sum fix. Come hungry!

I remember coming here in the 80s as a kid and enjoying this. I haven't been here since then given the dim sum choices thats evolved in SGV and found new favorites. The draw of coming recently was the boasts of hot carts, especially since Covid, all dim sum places have switched out from this model and you have to order in advance. So Sunday parking was madness, but found eventually. I was surprised that by 1030, we didn't have to wait and was walked in to a table of 4 and wow is that place huge! Got sat to the back room and got excited for cart pushing commotion. We found the food taste to be ok, actually bland and that even the accompanying hot sauces were watered down. Our initial waiter had an attitude problem and I was happy staff is well rotated and quick to respond. The ladies pushing carts are very sweet and explain with patience all of their choices in their cart and regularly kept it moving and coming by. My two beefs about hot cart experience was the lack thereof for the daikon cake and Chinese broccoli options...they had it already cooked and sitting in cart. It sounds old timey, but i enjoyed seeing them cook it tableside back in the day. I couldn't order fried ric

Classic SGV Dim Sum Institution from the 80s. Been 22yrs since I last came here. Not the best Dim Sum taste. But for sure one of the last remaining cart dim sum experience. Which is what makes it worth it. And for that alone it’s worth the trip. Mostly all good - Porridge / Cha Shu Bao / Chinese Broccoli / Har Gao we’re decent. But would not recommend the mango and sesame pudding. A but artificial. Sesame balls were only OK.
