I have tried dim sum at a few places. This by far is the VERY best. So delicious and the service is impecable. A treat to any one. Good food and good service. Excellent!!!! Pros: Thumps up more

The food there is just ok. If you want some better ones, drive another 10 miles east to the monterey park/san gabriel area. Pros: location... if you live on the westside Cons: hmm... not the best dim sum around LA more

From the outside, this restaurant isn't very impressive. In fact it looks like just a rectangular white office building with a curtained door. Don't let the downplayed exterior turn you off. They serve pretty good dim sum served fresh and hot. Again, like many restaurants in Chinatown, they focus on seafood so expect to see shrimp in almost anything. This is one of the regular places we rotate through for dim sum in Chinatown. Give it try. Pros: Good food, reasonable price more

ABC is a nice place to go for large groups and dim sum. Parking is limited on the weekends. There's a free parking area in the back; however, parking in this area is only one short row. When we arrived at the restaurant, our first impression was, ""wo, this isn't the nicest looking place from the outside."" But once we went inside, everything was much more appealing. We were a party of 13 and everybody seemed to enjoy the dishes. The bill came out to a very affordable $130. Dim sum is served from 8am to 3pm. Pros: Cheap eats, great for groups Cons: Parking, the outside appearance of the restaurant more

I went here for Lunch-Dim Sum on a weekday. I've been to other ""nicer looking"" dim-sum places in Chinatown but was always a bit disappointed because of the price. Lets be honest, dim sum is dim sum and you are going to get the same dishes in 99% of the dim sum places you go so I rate dim sum places based on value and service. The food was very good for the price and wait staff is very attentive. This place is a bit off the beaten path so it seemed like a good number of locals were there. When I was there, there were a group of asian guys in shirts/ties, a ""anglo"" couple, a old chinese couple, hispanic/african-american co-workers, and others. The resturant is aging a bit and there is tape on some of the chairs and you can notice the bad pink paint job on the walls but I tend to like places like this. The parking is free (if you can find a spot), dim sum staff is very nice, you wont get over charged, and they refilled our tea 3 times (we didn't have to ask). Bottom-line- I'd go back but I'd come with friends, not a date that I was trying to impress . Pros: Better Value than other Dim-Sum places Cons: If you dine at spago's often then I dont think you'll like this place. more

This is one of my all time favorite restaurants in L.A. when it comes to quality, price, and taste!! I have eaten in a lot of resaurants all over the LA area and there are only a handful I go back to time and time again. This is undoubtedly in that handful!! Pros: Great taste, great service, no wait more

Don't let the 'C' health rating, lightly masked by a white curtain, dissuade you from eating at this joint. TThe food was fresh, the place was packed, the service was great, the price was very soft on the wallet. The bottom line: Great Dim Sum! Great Price! You'll Forget That C Rating Even Existed! Pros: Dimsum more

Mouthwatering noodle dishes and fluffy fried rice. Don't let the name fool you- there are plenty of vegitarian, meat, and poultry dishes. Right in the heart of Chinatown, cordial service, and very clean too. Try the sauteed string beans, however, I warn you brave soul, they are addicitive. Pros: fast, inexpensive, family-friendly more

If you have the appetite to eat plenty early in the morning and love dim sum, this is the place. Good variety at inexpensive prices. Pros: Inexpensive, Food is tasty. more

Went on a weekday. Prices were good and the ratio of carts to the size of the restaurant was also pleasant. I think my biggest complaint about the dim sum is that I didn't particularly care for the shrimp. I'm not sure exactly why I didn't like the shrimp there as much.. perhaps they are too small? I prefer Ocean Seafood and Empress Pavillion also in the area .. although Sea Empress (in Torrance) and and Empress Harbor (Montery Park) are still our favorites. more
