Top Island Seafood Restaurant is a longtime Alhambra destination for traditional Cantonese seafood and dim sum, with the large dining room and roaming dim sum carts giving it the feel of an old-school banquet restaurant. Dim sum remains one of its biggest draws, while dinner shifts toward live seafood and Cantonese specialties suited to sharing around the table. Local diners continue to single out the cart service, classic dishes, and seafood specials as reasons to return.
The dim sum service is especially worth seeking out, with carts moving through the dining room carrying steamed, fried, and baked favorites. For dinner, the restaurant expands into dishes such as lobster, king crab, fish maw soup, and other Cantonese seafood preparations, making Top Island a distinctly traditional choice in Alhambra’s Chinese restaurant scene.
