The story
Newport Seafood Restaurant, on Las Tunas Drive in San Gabriel, is a women-owned establishment that has earned a loyal following for its generous, shareable plates of Cantonese and Vietnamese-inspired seafood. The kitchen focuses on freshness and variety, offering a menu where lobster, shrimp, clams, and crab appear in preparations that range from garlic-laden to boldly spiced. The restaurant’s commitment to quality and hospitality has not gone unnoticed: it was recognized as Michelin Recommended in 2026.
Portions are notably large, made for passing around a round table. The lobster — often cited by regulars as a standout — is served on a giant platter, drenched in garlic. Kung pao delicacies, shaking beef, and pork chops are equally praised for their seasoning and execution. For those who prefer lighter fare, there are vegan and vegetarian options woven throughout the menu, including sea cucumber salad and shrimp with snow peas. The variety of preparations — from garlic sauce to cashew nuts to green onion — ensures that repeat visits always offer something new to try.
The space is comfortable and accommodating, with both indoor and outdoor seating, wheelchair access, and valet parking. Service is described as quick and considerate, allowing diners to focus on the food and the company. Many guests return for family dinners, celebrations, and nostalgic gatherings — the kind of place where generations come together over a shared meal. Customer reviews consistently mention the warmth of the staff and the ease of ordering for large groups.
Newport Seafood has been part of the San Gabriel dining scene for years, moving locations but maintaining its identity. The kitchen’s experience shows in every dish. Whether you are a seafood enthusiast or simply looking for a welcoming spot to celebrate, Newport Seafood delivers exactly what it promises: generous portions, fresh seafood, and flavors that linger.
