Longo Seafood Restaurant: Bib Gourmand Dim Sum in Rosemead

A Rosemead institution for Cantonese seafood and dim sum

Longo Seafood Restaurant sits on Garvey Avenue in Rosemead, drawing a steady crowd of locals and visitors who know the food is worth the wait. The dining room feels like a grand banquet hall, with private rooms for celebrations and an energetic hum that peaks during weekend lunches. The Michelin Bib Gourmand 2026 nod recognizes what regulars have long appreciated: good quality, good value cooking that doesn’t cut corners.

Dim sum that goes beyond the cart

The dim sum menu here is deep. Beyond the expected shu mai and har gow – both praised for their balanced pork-and-shrimp fillings and pearl-like fish roe – you’ll find dishes rarely seen elsewhere. Baked almond pastry, stewed herbal chicken feet, and a bamboo charcoal egg yolk bun that cracks open to molten custard are all part of the rotation. The tea is taken seriously, too: fragrant and full-bodied, it holds its own alongside the food rather than fading into the background.

Seafood and signature plates

The kitchen’s strength is in its seafood. Scallion and ginger lobster served over e-fu noodles is a signature, the tender meat infused with aromatics and paired with silky noodles. Steamed king crab claws with vermicelli (粉丝蒸帝王蟹爪) deliver concentrated ocean flavour with a garlicky finish. The barbecue selection – soy sauce chicken, roasted duck, crispy roasted pork – adds another layer of smoky-sweet richness. Generous portions and careful presentation make every plate feel like a special occasion.

Longo Seafood offers a genuine taste of Cantonese tradition, from dim sum carts to live seafood tanks, all in a setting that feels both grand and welcoming.
