The 20 Best Chinese Restaurants In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Yes, we know Din Tai Fung is a large chain with locations in nearly every giant mall in LA—but still, put some respect on its name. DTF manages to keep the quality of their famed delicately made xiao long bao pretty consistent, which is darn impressive given the LA competition, as well as how many customers they serve each day. Beyond soup dumplings—which should absolutely be your priority here—start with the refreshing, if a bit overpriced, cucumber salad and make sure to order enough of the chewy, wok-fried Shanghai rice cakes for everyone to try." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder, cathy park
