Which one should I be going to? There seem to be two different websites. Newportseafood.com has two locations listed, and the other has a totally separate Santa Ana location listed. Fri Nov 06 15:22:44 -0800 2009 87322 1newyorkguy 1 5162342 Hmm. I thought they were all related. Most of the comment on the board relates to the San Gabriel location. But you can't go wrong in Santa Ana either.

That branch has now relocated to the Las Tunas address. http://www.chow.com/restaurants/846142/newport-seafood-group . .

And the servers and owners are so helpful and friendly.

Also, given the Vietnamese angle, you'd also think the initial operation might have originated in Orange County.

Fri Nov 06 20:38:38 -0800 2009 5162150 10811 Das Ubergeek 2 5162772 I second Das Ubergeek's suggestion for the Santa Ana location. My family has been dining there for years, and it never disappoints. LOVE LOVE LOVE the House Special Lobster and the Bo Luc Lac (Shaken Beef served with salad). Fri Nov 06 22:54:44 -0800 2009 5162639 142682 attran99 2 5164559 agree with Das Ubergeek...the food is very good though...here's my review http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/561845 Sun Nov 08 00:37:36 -0800 2009 5162639 12298 Lau 1 5163789 Been to both the Rowland Heights one and the one on Las Tunas. The one on Las Tunas has nicer decor. The lobster at the Rowland Heights branch is spicier and tastier. More black pepper and chile in that prep compared to the Las Tunas prep. Sat Nov 07 14:20:24 -0800 2009 5162150 13289 Porthos 2 5163812 You can ask them to adjust the seasonings, esp. on the Lobster and Crab, and even dishes like the shaking beef (ie. beef loc lac).
