The 10 Best Dim Sum Restaurants In LA

"What To Order: Shrimp Har Gow, Steamed BBQ Pork Bun, Sesame Balls Capital Seafood is a classic SGV dim sum spot with several branches, including one down in Irvine, but the location in Beverly Hills holds a special title: home of the best dim sum west of DTLA. Dining here means being fully aware that you’re in Beverly Hills, with luxury sports cars parked outside and suited business types taking lunch meetings over baked custard buns. Overall, the kitchen does a great job replicating the textures and flavors you’d find at their original restaurant in Monterey Park. The steamed dumplings burst the moment you bite through their wrapper, the barbecue pork buns are light and pillowy, and the siu mai are as plump as they come. It also doesn't hurt that Capital Seafood is one of the cheapest high-quality lunch spots you'll find in this part of town." - garrett snyder, brant cox, fiona chandra, sylvio martins
