Henry’s Cuisine

If Newport Seafood and Boston Lobster are part of the old guard of Cantonese-style live seafood restaurants, this much newer restaurant in Alhambra represents the next generation. Owned by namesakes Henry Tu and Henry Chau, the must-order is the house special Vietnamese-style sautéed lobster, which comes with fried garlic and a mountain of thickly cut green onions. (Be sure to add on the glass noodles, which complement the sweet red roe scattered throughout each plate.) The sprawling menu is a treasure trove of delicious dishes, from well-executed classics like mixed seafood crispy chow mein to the deep-fried salted pig’s feet with crackling skin reminiscent of Peking duck. For best results, we recommend rolling deep whenever you visit Henry’s, though leftovers reheat beautifully if you’re coming solo or with just one other person.
