Dim Sum in the Heart of Little Saigon at Seafood Cove #2

If you look up "dim sum" anywhere near Westminster on Yelp, you will most likely come across Seafood Cove #2. It is the place to go if you’re looking for some real deal dim sum. Seafood Cove #2 is located in the heart of Little Saigon on Bolsa Avenue between Magnolia Street and Bushard Street. It is on the second floor within the Asian Village plaza. 

Finding parking in the crowded plaza was the worst part of this experience. However, the wait for a table was not too bad, and the staff was very attentive. There are people constantly refilling drinks and taking orders. In addition to the waiters, there are more than five dim sum carts being pushed around the restaurant. Each cart has a variety of items. I tried the ribs, Chinese sausage buns, siu mai, shrimp noodles and Chinese broccoli. 

All the items I picked were some of the best that I have had in comparison to other dim sum restaurants. Seafood Cove #2 was really busy, so the dim sum items were rotating pretty quickly. The food was hot, fresh and flavorful. 

The one thing that I didn’t understand is how they priced the items I chose. Every time I picked out a dish, the ladies would put a stamp on different categories on sheet of paper that looks like a receipt. Between two people, five dishes and two drinks, the bill came out to be about $30 with tip.
