Newport Seafood Restaurant

A Beverly Hills location of a famous San Gabriel Valley Chinese restaurant, Newport Seafood is a little odd: the interior design directive seems to have been “SHINY,” and the lighting is so bright you’ll be able to see the plastic surgery scars on the people at the table across the room. But the food - especially the lobster, beef lo lac, salt and pepper squid - is good (though more expensive than in the SGV), and the scene is more local than touristy.
