Did we mention the made-to-order dim sum is great too? You’ll find creative options like crispy lobster rolls that come with a side of mayo for dipping, green-colored ham sui gok shaped liked tiny pears, and golden salted egg scallop dumplings. Most recently this honor went to Bistro 1968, an upscale all-day dim sum and Cantonese restaurant in San Gabriel equipped with a gorgeous dining room, fantastic service (your pot of oolong will never run dry), and a private parking garage in the back. Once or twice a year, a splashy new dim sum spot appears on the SGV scene like a wild Pokémon, adding a dash of excitement to what is otherwise a fairly static group of contenders. What To Order: Crispy Lobster Roll, Salted Egg Scallop Dumplings, Spicy Minced Pork Dumpling, House XO Sauce The biggest challenge here is battling the wait for a table on weekends-stay strong though, it's worth it. And though the dining room does vaguely resemble a hotel conference room, the people-watching here is unparalleled: Come any day of the week and be greeted with a wondrous ladies-who-lunch crowd all clutching Prada bags, whispering about the latest neighborhood gossip. Sea Harbour doesn’t have the largest (or cheapest) menu, but we do appreciate that it’s filled with absolute bangers: sticky rice balls with oozing salty egg yolk centers, fragrant truffle siu mai, and smooth-yet-flaky egg white custard tarts. But this two-decade-old grand Cantonese banquet spot in Rosemead not only pioneered many of the SGV’s prevailing dim sum trends-upscale twists on classics, ditching the carts for menu service-it still does them better than anyone else. It’s been on top so long that some people start to take it for granted. When it comes to dim sum in LA, Sea Harbour is like Meryl Streep.
What To Order: Truffle Siu Mai, Har Gow With Gold Leaf, Salted Egg Yolk Custard Buns
