"The second location of the popular—and truly excellent—Alhambra dim sum shop, Lunasia, lives in a colorful art-deco building in Pasadena. Here, you’ll find every Cantonese comfort dish one can think of: crispy shrimp rolls, hargow, and softball sized shumai stuffed to the brim. Build your meal around staples like baked BBQ pork buns and turnip cakes, then tack on a few specialties. We love the scallop dumplings, wrapped in a jet-black squid skin, and Macau-style egg custard tarts. And between the multiple stories and banquet-style tables, this is a perfect place for a large family meal, or hungover brunch with your closest friends." - fiona chandra, kat hong
