Elite Seafood Restaurant is one of top Chinese restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley, according to several different sources. This restaurant serves dim sum during lunch, and traditional Cantonese dishes at dinner time. Elite Decor, Vibe – Elite Restaurant has good decor in the classic Chinese gaudy style.

Dry Scallop dumpling in supreme soup stock ($5.48) was huge and was bathed in a fairly bland stock. This was a little more than we bargained for. Sesame balls ($2.38) were 3 medium sized balls of goodness. […]

Insider Tip – Order Vietnamese dishes Cuisine – Vietnamese, Chinese Location – San Gabriel Opened – 1989 Service – Newport Tan Cang had reasonable service, but not anything exceptional. There were an ample number of servers running around and the waitress made some good recommendations. Verdict – Newport Tan Cang strikes us as more of a Vietnamese restaurant that also serves Chinese food than the converse. The food is very good here but not exceptional. The decor is very nice, outclassing most Asian restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area. The area towards the back, with Asian dividers is particularly nice. Next time, we’re going to visit a more traditional Cantonese-Chinese restaurant down here for dinner, like Sea Harbor. Newport Tan Cang Signature Dishes – Newport Special Lobster (bring 4 adults), Newport Special Crab, Clams with Spicy Hot Sauce, Beef Luc […]
