Thanks so much for this video! Recently moved to LA from VA and this was so helpful. ☺️

[@RockstarEater]

Thanks! If you sub and follow in, you'll see a lot more of these kinds of videos to help with LA food!

[@mrrickstur]

my top 3 dim sum places in LA are the same exact top 3 as yours 😃 Lunasia, Elite, and Sea Harbour are really on another level

[@isaacpark5487]

Good stuff man. It’s crazy that there aren’t more LA dim sum KZbin videos. You could really make a lot of content.

Lunasia in Alhambra is definitely my go to for dim sum. It gets quite busy on the weekends but during the week, the wait is usually 15 minutes or less.

[@TheVileOne]

Definitely looking to try some of these

[@RockstarEater]

Awesome.

What do you think about Golden Dragon in LA Chinatown on North Broadway? I've been going there since I was a little kid.

[@frigidtsunami]

I love Sea Harbor, I'm glad they got the number 1 spot.

Lunasia is pricey but really good Cerritos branch newly opened months ago. And seafood harbour is my favorite sooo good.

Sea Harbour also makes their dim sum to order. It's fresher, and so better tasting, than if the dim sum were sitting out in a cart.

[@RockstarEater]

I have been to Sea Harbour. Awesome place. Thanks for the input. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos this year!

Din Tai Fung is a popular Taiwanese Dim Sum chain - but it is damned good and certainly worth a mention. Also, there is my daughter's favorite Dim Sum place: New Capital Seafood, above the Daiso on the top floor of the shopping center across from the Hilton on Valley Blvd - this is a great place - mostly because all of the Dim Sum dishes are the same price (about $3.25 per dish, no matter what it is) -- there is usually a crowd, and the place is huge, with one enormous room, another large room, and a third big private room for weddings which they open up to the public for Dim Sum if nothing else is going on there. This place has all of the traditional goodies, like: - Jasmine tea in a pot, egg rolls, fried pot stickers, deep fried shrimp lollipops on a sugarcane stick, sliced Charsu pork loin, steamed Chinese Broccoli with oyster sauce, Ginger & bamboo Chicken Bao, Cantonese Roast Duck with sweet & sour duck sauce, Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf with Chinese sausage, Braised Tendon in Spicy red Sauce, Shrimp & Pork Shu Mai, Shrimp Har Gao, Black Bean Spare Ribs, Special five flavors fried Rice (shrimp, pork, peanuts, chicken, & bean sprouts), Taiwanese Pork Soup Dumplings, Shrimp Noodle Fun Roll, sliced boiled Goose Kidney, crunchy fried vegetable spring rolls, mushroom & fried tofu dumplings, vegetarian steamed dumplings, sweet and sour pickles (at least two kinds), Sesemie oil cucumbers, special chicken pieces in pastry, Shrimp stuffed grilled green peppers, Chinese meat balls, five spice duck feet, ginger tripe, curried tripe, Braised Turnips, seaweed salad, Won Ton Soup, Pan fried egg Noodles, Chicken Feet, 1000 year old Egg in Congee, Baked BBQ pork buns, Taro Root puff, egg custard, mango pudding. sweet silken tofu, boba milk tea - - everything is the same price. And parking is free. Plus the shopping center is filled with other restaurants and shops, including a Sam Woo BBQ place where you can get whole ducks and lots of Charsu meats to take home. Also, New Capital Seafood (or as my daughter has always called it, "the elevator restaurant", serves at late night menu on weeknights beginning at 9:30 PM. It offers smaller portions from a special menu for about half the price, plus you get as much free soup as you want, and if your table orders forty dollars worth of food you will get an almost free lobster in supreme sauce ($1 per lb.). It is a great place.

[@RockstarEater]

Awesome. I love Din Tai Fung!

[@humbertochong9094]

Sorry I not considering Din tai fun a Dim sum Restaurant...➡️🤫 Dumplings Restaurant...➡️ But I agree with you the Capital Seafood Restaurant in the San Gabriel plaza is much better and cheaper to any fancy restaurants around the Area and popular to...➡️👍

[@RockstarEater]

I will have to check it out.

[@jc3drums916]

I heard good things about the original Lunasia, but my limited experience with one of the satellite branches was pretty bad. East Gourmet in Rosemead seemed very good, but I haven't been in years. It was opened by the former owner of NBC. Speaking of, I think it's better than 888. Mission 261 in San Gabriel is another that has been talked about in years past as one of the best in LA, approaching Elite/Sea Harbour level, but I've never been. I know nothing about Bao, except...dude, you're Chinese, pronounce it like a Chinese person. 😂

[@manhhilston4827]

Cerritos ....

[@jasonwill5949]

Ocean star, empress pavilion were the top OG dim sum spots. Didn’t know NBC, 888, and capital seafood are still around.

If you put a lot of MSG and chemical into the food, it probably will taste good. If you have a MSG allergy, avoid all of above. About Sea Harbour, the chef is not famous, the guy who taught him is.
