Accessible Real Chinese: Newport Tan Cang Seafood

Newport Tan Cang Seafood is one of our favorite restaurants in San Gabriel. That's saying a lot, considering how much good food is in the area.

Mr. Monkey's father loves this place, and our niece and nephew always enjoy looking at all the live seafood in the tanks.

Beef loc lac French style ($12.95).

This is one of Newport's specialties and a must-get.

The above dishes are frequent orders for us. That being said, I have yet to eat anything bad at Newport.

Newport Tan Cang Seafood never fails to satisfy. For those who are fearful of the San Gabriel Valley (i.e., scared to be the only non-Asians in the restaurant), fear not! I always see persons of non-Asian descent at Newport Tan Cang Seafood. The menu is in pretty decent English and even has some photos in it.

For those who question the authenticity of places frequented by non-Asians, fear not! This place is legit!
