Pushcart-style dim sum.
The good thing with Full House is that most of the dim sum items averaged $2.
From center top: har gow (Chinese shrimp dumplings), fried shrimp balls, steamed gai lan (Chinese broccoli) with oyster sauce, spare ribs with black bean sauce, and pan-fried turnip cakes.
Egg rolls, roast pork, and braised tripe and blood cubes. Obviously, the roast pork was more than $2. I just can't remember any of the individual prices.
Shu mai (Chinese meatballs).
Hom sui gok (Chinese sticky rice dumplings).
Shrimp cheong fun (Chinese shrimp rice noodle rolls).
Calamari.
I think the total came to about $12 per person? Cheap and pretty good dim sum. I put it on the same level as the old dim sum restaurants. OK to good dim sum, nothing spectacular. Old pushcart-style of service.
Who else ate at Full House Seafood Restaurant?
Eat Travel Eat says the low prices and good service make this his dim sum restaurant of choice.

WC,
ReplyDeleteYay, a post on an Arcadia restaurant :). I was thinking you would do so after stumbling onto your photostream yesterday, but I was wrong back then on Bamboodles or some other place. Prices are now 1.58 or 1.98 during weekends/holidays. Used to be 1.98 and 2 something which was low also compared to other places. Me likey the roast pork. Just had it this weekend in a unfortunately poorly executed dinner at Full House. :( They fail serving good food during holidays! Any other day, they are fine though.
I'm tickled again to find out I am a she and not a he according to two bloggers now :).
Full House sadly doesn't do much calamari or fried tofu these days. People like to eat healthy...but there's plenty of cubes of fat hidden in dishes like siu mai, meatballs, et cetera.
I can't really recognize the server in the photo but I think it just might be one of the two servers that recognizes me and likes to chat during dim sum hours.
ETE,
ReplyDeleteYeah, I meant to blog about Bamboodles back in April? Haven't gotten around to it then either. And there's still old and new Din Tai Fungs to post.
Umm, so which is it? She? He? I thought she, but I'm wrong? :P Some people think I'm a he, and I thought it was fairly obvious that I'm a she. :)
WC,
ReplyDeleteI am a he :). I've always thought you were a she from the first time I visited your blog though!
ETE,
ReplyDeleteBwhaha! All this time, I thought you were a she! I'll correct that right away. :P
I've never heard of this place! I like push carts. I'm old-school.
ReplyDeleteWeeMo,
