Best Dim Sum Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"NBC Seafood is a landmark in the San Gabriel Valley. The restaurant has been around for decades and serves dim sum every day from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. with push cart service. The best dish is the special “To To” ma lai go sponge cake, which is layered with salted duck yolk and made using a recipe from a famous Hong Kong chef and food personality (梁文韜). The dim sum offerings are vast, but don’t be alarmed — there’s a picture menu for the uninitiated. The restaurant has also opened an express dim sum shop next door where diners can order all the dim sum available at the restaurant to go, without waiting for a table or having to order tea, and therefore avoiding the tea charge. The express section also has a few tables and a standing area for those who want to eat there." - Kristie Hang
