Dim sum! Come her for brunch delicious dim sum. Carts filled with seemed foods and sweet desserts. They also have semi exotic items like pigs blood and chicken feet. Show up early or you may need to drive around looking for parking. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 1/30/2014

Traditional dimsum and very crowded on the weekend. Place is big and decent price. Would rather have Dimsum at Elite , Sea Harbour, or new capital more

It's a disgusting restaurant 1/14/2012

This is a most disgusting restaurant we've ever visited, and never ever will go back. The waiters stick their fingers in food, and the restroom?.. Oh my god, why government still allow they open!!!!!!!!!!!!!! more

you won't be disappointed. A+ 9/16/2009

I am college student at USC and this place is the best place to satisfy a craving. They are willing to make something specific for you which is rare. The food is great, I would recommend the spare ribs. Good chinese food for the price Pros: Excellent Service more

Decent Eatery 1/2/2009

NBC has changed ownership, even though the American name is still the same, it is actually a branch from Ocean Bo in El Monte. I haven't had Dim Sum here yet, but dinner was pretty good. The desserts weren't as good as the one in El Monte, but it's still good. The prices here are pretty decent too. I haven't had any mishaps here yet. more

Great dim sum with a little secret ingredient. 8/26/2008

My family and I absolutely love dim sum. We used to have dim sum over at sam woo but unfortunately it closed down. A few months ago my aunt heard about NBS star so we decided to check it and to our suprise it was pretty close on taste to what Sam Woo was. Well we thought this would be our all time favorite, so last saturday decided to have Dim sum for lunch and we went back to NBC star. I kid you not we had just started ordering when my cousin decided to try a beef one. Well when he put it down on his plate something fell out from the top of it still landing on the edge of his plate, and he kept trying to convince himself that what he saw was anything but what it really was.Luckily the manager of the place was in our area, which by the way was in that private room when my cousin showed him what it was he immeadiately apologized and gave us half off. That is pretty nice of them you would say, but come on we had a creature on our plate. If it would have happend to anyone else a big deal would have been made but my cousin was just disgusted that I guess he didnt really know what to say. Luckily for them no one else saw but his boss. I guess you can say we will definately reconsider this place after that incident. Pros: great food Cons: unexpected ingredients more

absolutely best dim sum outside of LA 7/7/2008

Living an hour and a half outside of LA, it is extremely hard to find any good dim sum close to where we live. We have tried so many outside of the city, but nothing has ever beaten dim sum in Chinatown, but it is much too far to travel down there just for a dim sum craving. We finally settled on a mediocre, but not terrific place for Sunday dim sum quick-fixes. Pros: fresh hot food, service, price Cons: carts take awhile to get around because of the size of the restaurant more

Great Dim Sum 5/21/2007

We have visited NBC on numerous occassions. The prices are good and the dim sum is great. My favorites are the shrimp hargow and the baked barbequed pork buns. It is best to get there before 11:00 on Sundays. After 11:00 the wait can be extremely long, and the dim sum selection along with parking becomes limited. Pros: Reasonable prices, great dim sum Cons: parking, wait staff attitudes more

The Spot for Dim Sum 2/21/2007

Possibly the best place for dim sum in the LA area. We went on the busiest day of the year (Lunar New Year) but still enjoyed quick service and a variety of delicious delicacies. I recommend the duck, the bbq pork buns, the shrimp dumplings, the large rice noodle folded over shrimp or beef, and egg custard tarts for dessert. Everything tastes very fresh and is not too greasy. The prices are also quite good, you can have a very filling meal for under $11 per person. Pros: Parking, Service Cons: Crowded on weekends more

Great authentic Cantonese food! 11/5/2006

This is the place to go for great dim sum and authentic Cantonese cuisine. The wait can be really long on weekends for dim sum so if you're not a patient diner then I would go someplace else but man you will miss some pretty good dim sum. The dinner menu is traditional Cantonese served in large portions so this place is really great for large parties of family and friends. Pros: Good food, big place, dim sum Cons: Service but what authentic Chinese restaurant doesn't have spotty service? more

large restaurant with good pricing 11/5/2006

This dim sum restaurant serves low priced food while trying to accomondate the most people. The taste is good, but at peak serving times the wait can be a long time. A great place to experience traditional and new aged chinese dim sum. This place also turns into a banquet for weddings and birthdays for dinner. Pros: Lot of selection, can speak to you in english, can accommondate large parties Cons: parking, gets very loud, long waiting time for tables - depending on timing more

Excellent! 2/9/2006

This is the best and most authentic Chinese I've had! The atmosphere is bustling and friendly. The food is amazing, to say the least. However, parking is no picnic. There are large crowds once time nears closer to noon. The place opens at 10 and once they've been open a little over an hour, it is packed in there. The waiters are a great help if you trust them, but their English is not so great and my understanding of Chinese does not go past ""Dim Sum."" Needless to say, this can cause a communication issue. Regardless, the experience if definitely worth it. If you come for lunch, try the peking duck served with buns. It's excellent! Pros: food, atmosphere Cons: parking, wait, communication more
