food fit for a (seafood) palace
I ate here for Christmas dinner with my family and relatives, and it did not let me down. Russell’s is not in the greatest, most noticeable location, so not a great number of people know about it. Because of this, there was empty seats and no wait. The restaurant looks somewhat American on the outside and inside, though it is slowly adding more Chinese elements to it. Anyways, the food here had great presentation and were delicious. All of the dishes we ordered were great, ranging from Peking duck, to a huge lobster. The service was pretty good too, especially since there weren’t a lot of people, making us the important table! Everyone was satisfied and it made for a good Christmas dinner. This is a good place to check out for dim sum, and for dinner.
Dishes Tried:
Peking Duck
Had all the stuff you love about Peking duck, and it is done well. You also don’t have to order in advance. =D
Lobster
We ordered a HUGE lobster. It is covered in sauce, and has noodles under it. I love lobster noodles. The lobster itself was also great and had lots of meat. Pricey, though that is expected.

Russell's Seafood
Aside from the amusing fact that it appears to still be an american restaurant, the food is still great. It is a shame that not as many people know about it yet, seeing as its dim sum rivals China Garden for dim sum superiority of Irvine. I think they also have happy hour and karaoke, if interested in that.
Dishes Tried:
BBQ Pork Bun
Scrumptious round red bun with bbq pork in it. Amusing to see such a rotund food, but also tasty to boot. Just use chopsticks to eat it, since it is really sticky!
