In an anonymous strip mall in Alhambra that already boasts a great pho (vietnamese noodle) place, we keep going back for Newport - the wait is long, the kids run wild and the parking sucks, but once seated the waiters will get you the lobster whether you want it or not (believe us, you want it) and you will begin to understand the allure of the place.... Other to-die-for dishes - the calamari, the steamed fish, the fried noodles and the ""dou miao"" (sweet pea shoots - a kind of green vegetable). Strangely enough, considering most of the staff (and presumably the kitchen) is Vietnamese, the vietnamese dishes are indifferent - forget the ""bo luc lac"" (beef) and stick with the chinese dishes.
Pros: Great food
Cons: Long wait, Parking is tough
