The Best Restaurants in LA’s South Bay, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"This location of SGV-based chain Lunasia is easily the smallest, even with the sizeable patio, so waits can add up on weekend afternoons. Lunasia serves very solid renditions of dim sum favorites like har gow, shu mai, rolled rice noodles, and steamed chicken feet. The execution is a tad sharper here in Torrance — more balanced, better steamed, and just tighter than its sister locations. The Singapore-style curry noodles are blasted with MSG and white pepper, making them ultra-delicious. The pineapple pork barbecue bao are crisp on the edges, the bun folding like soft tissues underneath. The only thing you won’t get in Torrance is the large dining room and big banquet tables, so try not to come with more than four people. Those willing to wait and dine in smaller groups will be rewarded with the South Bay’s best dim sum. (Pro tip: Put your name in line on the Yelp app.)" - Matthew Kang
