Newport Seafood (CLOSED)

Newport Seafood Restaurant specializes in—surprise, surprise—Chinese seafood with influences from Southeast Asia. Inspired by Ly Hua, the founder and head chef of the original Newport Seafood in Orange County which opened in 1988, executive chef Henry Hua (Ly's son), built the menu based off his father's travel throughout Asia. The family-style restaurant serves bold dishes that are meant to be shared with a large group. Their signature items include the house special Maine lobster, beef loc lac, Manila clams with spicy Thai basil sauce and crispy tofu.
