Dim sum?
Any good recommendations for dim sum in LA? We've been to the Din Tai Fung Dumpling House in Arcadia, but it's kinda far from where my friend lives (UCLA area) so we're looking for something a bit closer.
Thanks!
Thanks!

thanks! I had tried to search but "dim sum" fell into the 3-letter word category so I got nothing.

Generally, the good dim sum is in the san gabriel valley. Chinatown has a few places, but they are mostly cart service and lower quality. Not much closer, but if you want cart service and good quality, you should try Ocean Star in Monterey Park on Atlantic just south of the 10.

empress pavilion in chinatown is a reliable standby, but still a distance from ucla. there's a very american place on san vicente in brentwood (the name escapes me) that calls itself "dim sum and then some," but it isn't dim sum at all.

Not especially good, but it is, as far as I know, the only dim sum place anywhere near Westwood.
