The 22 Essential Dim Sum Restaurants in Los Angeles

"Happy Together is one of the fanciest dim sum spots in LA. It offers traditional preparations and twists on classics like rice noodle rolls filled with beef-cilantro or barbecue-pork-corn. The restaurant also has mixed-grain fried rice made with purple and long-grain rice, barley, corn, and shrimp. Traditional soups, such as steamed coconut chicken soup, are served during dim sum hours, which uses baked chicken with pork, longan, and chunks of coconut in coconut water. The barbecue meats and poultry section is also worth trying. The coconut chicken features a thin, crispy skin and a hefty coconut aroma. All the meats are freshly roasted or baked in small batches." - Kristie Hang
