Newport Seafood (3)
Another place I’ve already written twice about, so won’t say too much here. But Newport Seafood continues to be my favorite Chinese restaurant (even if it’s not completely Chinese). It was a crime not returning for over eight months, so it was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday early with family. There were only four of us, so didn’t get to order too much. Of course, the lobster and beef loc lac are must-orders, and the clams are always a hit with my family. Decided to try the fried frog legs this time, since they were out of elephant clam (geoduck) – they were pretty good, but nowhere near the quality of the other three dishes. Still, everything else was as good as ever. And we went around 5:30pm on a Thursday, so the restaurant was less than half full. By the time we left, it was packed. So go early, since they don’t take reservations.

pro tip: apparently you can put your name down an hour before you go in as your “reservation”
