Fodor's Review:

Reminiscent of Hong Kong's dim sum palaces, this stronghold of Chinese seafood is so vast -- it seats 800 -- that the staff resorts to walkie-talkies. It's known for the quality and freshness of its fish and shellfish, and you're free to select your meal from one of the many aquariums lining the marble walls. Try the boiled-live shrimp with soy-chili dipping sauce, huge scallops served in their shell, king crabs with black-bean sauce, any of the whole steamed fish, or the delicately sautéed snow-pea sprouts. The best way to experience Ocean Star is to bring a whole dim sum posse for lunch.
