Who needs ambience when you've got great food?

Quality seafood at reasonable prices - that's the long established Long Beach Seafood restaurants for you. Always fully packed during the weekends (that should say something), the tables are cramped together and you can safely say you don’t need to expect any ambience. You are just there for the food! having been there on numerous occasions, at Long Beach, one can expect good food with consistently high standards.  

And one most highly recommended dish (even for people who do not like duck meat) is their crispy duck with sweet sauce. The meat is tender, and the duck skin is crisp. Totally delicious with the sweet sauce.

Drunken prawns is another popular dish, where they cook the prawns with Chinese cooking wine. A dish that is a speciality here, the best part of course is the soup, and the prawns are very fresh and juicy. Fresh prawns of course mean their shells are very easy to peel off, so it’s a plus for lazy patrons. Be sure to enjoy the prawns with their dark soy sauce. 

The restaurant is also well known for its black pepper crab, and the chilli crab with the fried mantous (deep fried bread buns). I find the black pepper crabs too “peppery” at times, making it too spicy to enjoy, and the dish by itself is also quite dry.  

However, the chilli crab fares much better. The chilli gravy is excellent, not too spicy and very tasty. The fried ‘mantous’, or even just plain ole' steam rice goes very well with the chilli gravy! 

Other dishes are quite standard. The house special fried rice, fried tofu with pork floss, steam fish and some vegetable dish. Standard does not mean not good though. Standard means not as outstanding as what I mentioned earlier. You can’t really go wrong with the variety of food there.  

Service levels are average, as the place is always full and seemingly understaffed at times. Try asking for a free desert if you “know” the staff there. You may just get it.

Best to go in larger groups, so that you can try out more dishes. Very good for family dinners too.
