10 Best DIM SUM Restaurants in Los Angeles 

Thanks so much Steve. Very helpful 😃😁

Thanks so much for this video! Recently moved to LA from VA and this was so helpful. ☺️

Thanks so much for this video! We're honored to have made the list! Hopefully we can improve and get to the top of your list next time :)

my top 3 dim sum places in LA are the same exact top 3 as yours 😃 Lunasia, Elite, and Sea Harbour are really on another level

Great list! Subscribed!

Good stuff man. It’s crazy that there aren’t more LA dim sum RU-vid videos. You could really make a lot of content.

I grew up in Alhambra/LA/Monterey Park area and agree with most those on the list. Nice Corvette shirt BTW!

Definitely looking to try some of these

Lunasia in Alhambra is definitely my go to for dim sum. It gets quite busy on the weekends but during the week, the wait is usually 15 minutes or less.

OMG, you made me miss and want DIM SUM sooo bad! I live in the East coast and would love authentic Chinese restaurant reviews in the Boston, NY, CT and NJ areas!

Pre-Covid-19’s agree with you on sea harbor my absolute best Chinese restaurant. I enjoy both dim sum and normal food

What do you think about Golden Dragon in LA Chinatown on North Broadway? I've been going there since I was a little kid.

Yep, you got it! Sea Harbour. Quality of their food is great. Flavor is flavorful. Price is high. The wait, sucks.

Me thinking you were korean this whole time lol

You’re Chinese!? This whole time I thought you were Korean! Anyways congrats on all the success we’ve been watch you since the beginning

Aha, you are Chinese~~^^ I am Korean. I got to know you through RU-vid. Please upload a lot of delicious videos in the future and stay healthy~~

Lunasia is in Cerritos as well

Lunasia is pricey but really good Cerritos branch newly opened months ago. And seafood harbour is my favorite sooo good.

Have you updated this video @rockstareater ?

I love Sea Harbor, I'm glad they got the number 1 spot.

I’m going to try them all

What a travel down the memory lane. Sea Harbour location used to be an ice cream parlor for kids.

Are there any good dim sum restaurants in L.A.'s Chinatown?

Sea Harbour also makes their dim sum to order. It's fresher, and so better tasting, than if the dim sum were sitting out in a cart.

Have a good day

We need this list for OC area.

Nbc mi paborito

The best Char Siu Bao and Shu Mai are at Won Kok. If that's what you're looking for, you will be very happy.

bro all this time I thought you where Korean... Cheers. !!!

...like four of these are on atlantic in monterey park lol

How are you these days? How are you ^^? The weather is very cold, but please wear warm clothes ♡♡

Would like to see video of actually going there

I took my daughter for her last time dim sum in L.A but they were closed. Smh!!! She going off to college I didn’t get the chance to take her to dim sum!!! Because it’s one of the best dim sum in l.a. that I love smh …. Lol

Din Tai Fung is a popular Taiwanese Dim Sum chain - but it is damned good and certainly worth a mention. Also, there is my daughter's favorite Dim Sum place: New Capital Seafood, above the Daiso on the top floor of the shopping center across from the Hilton on Valley Blvd - this is a great place - mostly because all of the Dim Sum dishes are the same price (about $3.25 per dish, no matter what it is) -- there is usually a crowd, and the place is huge, with one enormous room, another large room, and a third big private room for weddings which they open up to the public for Dim Sum if nothing else is going on there. This place has all of the traditional goodies, like: - Jasmine tea in a pot, egg rolls, fried pot stickers, deep fried shrimp lollipops on a sugarcane stick, sliced Charsu pork loin, steamed Chinese Broccoli with oyster sauce, Ginger & bamboo Chicken Bao, Cantonese Roast Duck with sweet & sour duck sauce, Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf with Chinese sausage, Braised Tendon in Spicy red Sauce, Shrimp & Pork Shu Mai, Shrimp Har Gao, Black Bean Spare Ribs, Special five flavors fried Rice (shrimp, pork, peanuts, chicken, & bean sprouts), Taiwanese Pork Soup Dumplings, Shrimp Noodle Fun Roll, sliced boiled Goose Kidney, crunchy fried vegetable spring rolls, mushroom & fried tofu dumplings, vegetarian steamed dumplings, sweet and sour pickles (at least two kinds), Sesemie oil cucumbers, special chicken pieces in pastry, Shrimp stuffed grilled green peppers, Chinese meat balls, five spice duck feet, ginger tripe, curried tripe, Braised Turnips, seaweed salad, Won Ton Soup, Pan fried egg Noodles, Chicken Feet, 1000 year old Egg in Congee, Baked BBQ pork buns, Taro Root puff, egg custard, mango pudding. sweet silken tofu, boba milk tea - - everything is the same price. And parking is free. Plus the shopping center is filled with other restaurants and shops, including a Sam Woo BBQ place where you can get whole ducks and lots of Charsu meats to take home. Also, New Capital Seafood (or as my daughter has always called it, "the elevator restaurant", serves at late night menu on weeknights beginning at 9:30 PM. It offers smaller portions from a special menu for about half the price, plus you get as much free soup as you want, and if your table orders forty dollars worth of food you will get an almost free lobster in supreme sauce ($1 per lb.). It is a great place.

I heard good things about the original Lunasia, but my limited experience with one of the satellite branches was pretty bad. East Gourmet in Rosemead seemed very good, but I haven't been in years. It was opened by the former owner of NBC. Speaking of, I think it's better than 888. Mission 261 in San Gabriel is another that has been talked about in years past as one of the best in LA, approaching Elite/Sea Harbour level, but I've never been. I know nothing about Bao, except...dude, you're Chinese, pronounce it like a Chinese person. 😂

Elite is amazing 😅

What about “the Palace” in West LA !?!?!

Cerritos ....

Ocean star, empress pavilion were the top OG dim sum spots. Didn’t know NBC, 888, and capital seafood are still around.

Been going to NBC, Capital, 888 and Sea Harbour for years. If I don't want to drive I go to Sea Empress in Gardena.

When it comes to dim sum some are good but dim sum aren't so good

Dim sum is Cantonese

The best dim sum is buffalo kitchen in sf

Dim Sum is pricy. Good

Do you thank a Mexican and Japan in one make money

Disappointed that as a Chinese person, you've mispronounced (and Americanized) Ha Gow and Siew Mai (3:54).

Gluten-free?????

Disagree with your #1! It's over-priced and very limited choices for dim sum dishes!

If you put a lot of MSG and chemical into the food, it probably will taste good. If you have a MSG allergy, avoid all of above. About Sea Harbour, the chef is not famous, the guy who taught him is.

Lunasia in Pasadena is horrible. Dim Sum is not good at all, here.

Dim sum is better in LA than China.

Too much talking! It can be a 2 minutes video
