The San Gabriel valley is home to an estimated fifty to sixty restaurants that serve dim sum. Since the 1970s an influx of dumpling-craving immigrants from Taiwan and Hong Kong have bolstered a wide variety of Chinese tea restaurants that serve everything from ultra-modern fusion to unflinchingly traditional gao, chicken feet and congee.
Detractors will complain that many of these places are noisy, chaotic and prone to long waits in addition to being culturally impregnable to outsiders.
Don’t let this dissuade you from experiencing some of the most delicious bite-sized portions of buns, dumplings and noodles you will ever try. Popular eateries like Monterrey Park’s Elite Restaurant and Rosemead’s 888 Seafood will bring cart after cart of mouth-watering morsels to your table for you to pick out and devour.
Ugu I am so hungry and crossing my fingers that I can go to Ocean Star this weekend with my friends and eat all the food. I neeeeeed dim sum.
