The 10 Best Dim Sum Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"What To Order: Pineapple Custard Bun, Sugarcane Shrimp, Fried Pork Dumpling Much like its name, Lucky 1 in Rosemead is uncomplicated in the best way possible. Head to this takeout-only counter located in a busy shopping plaza when you want to load up on lots of quality dim sum for a shockingly affordable price. Customers line up early to point at what they want through a glass window—almost everyone is ordering several of their legendary pineapple buns filled with creamy-sweet egg custard, which are so soft and delicious you'll wish you ordered double. Sweet dim sum are definitely a highlight here, but they also do a bang-up job with anything deep-fried: sugarcane shrimp, fried pork dumplings, and crispy egg rolls. They also sell boba, smoothies, and herbal teas if you get thirsty, too." - garrett snyder, brant cox, fiona chandra, sylvio martins
