How to Find Dim Sum in LA

1. Drive to Ocean Star (145 N Atlantic Blvd., Monterey Park, CA) in Monterey Park for Dim Sum at its finest. Waiters sift through the restaurant pushing carts of traditional Asian dishes like dumplings and teriyaki chicken. Point to a dish and the server will bring it to your table.
2. Head to Empress Pavilion (988 N Hill Street, Suite 201) near Chinatown for upscale dim sum. Locals scramble for reservations to get a taste of their peking duck and shrimp shu mai. Waiters also push around carts of duck feet and other traditional dishes, for diners with adventurous appetites.
3. Take a trip to Chinatown and visit Ocean Seafood, the premier restaurant for dim sum in the district. Seafood is the specialty here, with shrimp cooked in a variety of ways and served to guests who request it. Don't miss the fried oysters, which are also a big hit among diners.
