Southern Mini Town Restaurant

The Best Chinese Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"Southern Mini Town is a Shanghainese restaurant that only has a few tables. The potstickers and pan-fried bao are a must. The sheng jian bao (pan-fried pork soup dumplings) are fluffy and juicy. Other must-order dishes include winter melon soup, Chinese okra with salted duck egg yolk, pan-fried Shanghai rice cakes, Shanghainese eggplant, pork kidney, and clam stew egg custard. The pork hock is a popular dish that falls off the bone and the fried fish with seaweed powder should also not be missed. Finish the meal with the osmanthus sweet soup with black sesame dumplings." - Kristie Hang
