Modern,bright interiors,efficient service and the food? Specifically the seafood is delicious,from the chillicrabs,salt & pepper prawns,steamed fresh fish etc.The Sichuan green beans were exceptional!

Food arrives incredibly fast, great portions and affordable prices. Must try the House Special Lobster! Not to mention there is also complementary Valet Parking. Go on a week night to avoid the crowd.

This spot was highly recommended. The lobster on a bed of garlic noodles was delicious be prepared it's a lot family style. Highly recommend.

Best Chinese food in LA! The lobster and bo luc lac are obvious must-orders. If you have a big party and want to spend, the elephant clam is a great choice as well. Do it 2 ways: sashimi and fried.

much has been said about the lobster: it's the best. i also like the bo luc lac (vietnamese style beef) and the greens with hollow stalks. no reservations, prepare to wait a bit. it's worth it!

Awesome place for seafood. The lobster dish is cooked with a lot of variety of spices from Vietnam which is quite different from the normal Chinese food.

Super popular Asian seafood restaurant. Park in the street across from the hospital (right behind newport), and walk through the taco corner.
Gianni ShihJanuary 28, 2013
I suggest ordering the lobster for the whole table to share. Can't go wrong with that. If your hungry, just order the largest plate they have! Prices vary!

I have been perfecting the menu over the course of ten years. Get the lobster, bo luc lac, muc chien muoi, and canh chua. If you have room, the kung pao chicken is good too.
Michelle Arnaiz-Dela RosaJuly 10, 2015
Everything we ate was good but the lobster, crab and beef were the best.

Excellent Chinese seafood. Alaskan king crabs ftw
Sharon TranJune 25, 2013
Bo luc lac is delicious. Get the $28 set meal for a good sampling, steamed fish is ok but not really worth the extra $20
Brandon HoangJanuary 30, 2017
Lobster special, pea sprouts, and shaking beef. That's all you need to know.

House special lobster....do it! beef, french style..yummy. Ong choy..yum. Boba, not so great. Save room for boba from half and half.
Karl HobartOctober 10, 2014
The spicy clams and beef loc lac are arguably better than the house lobster.

Try to get there early and park on the street. As for the lobster -- tell them easy on the salt!!
Linda LuiSeptember 28, 2012

Best time to go is before 7pm before dinner starts or else you'll be waiting at least 1 hour!

Love this place!! Our favorite Vietnamese lobster restaurant

Lobster is the best. However, $15.95/lb is kind of pricey. But it is well worth it. Their kung pao chicken is one of the best too.
Henry IskandarJuly 22, 2011
bring ur own food and park nearby, and eat there while smelling the tasty food smells coming out of Tancang... it just makes ur food taste better :p

Get the Bo Luc Lac (Shaken Beef/Filet Mignon), they may be a seafood place, but its one of their specialties FTMFW :)
Jessica ChanDecember 1, 2013
Lobster, obvi. Bo Luc Lac is another must.
Bao-Tran NgoJuly 4, 2013
Did they hire a new chef? Bo luc lac isn't as good as last time. Lobster was only ok. My party of 6 decided that the drive/wait/parking isn't worth it anymore.

Great banquet style Chinese food and lobster/crab
Ronald LeeMarch 10, 2019
Lobster is a must.
Jane ChuMarch 16, 2012
If I was dying, I'd still manage to find my way to stand in the long line and order the lobster
Nikki PriyambodoDecember 23, 2011
Prepare for a long wait, but so worth it. GET THE LOBSTER!
Phoebe VenkatMay 18, 2012

Bring an empty stomach and at least 3 other people then get the lobster only.
