The First Timer’s Guide To Eating In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The San Gabriel Valley is like Lucy Liu’s IMDb page—extremely vast, home to mostly hits (Kill Bill, Charlie’s Angels, etc.), but also some misses (her Saturday Night Live appearance in 2000). In other words, you’ll need a guide. The sprawling region is filled with dozens of top-tier Chinese restaurants, and Lunasia is among the best: an extremely popular dim sum house in Alhambra serving glorious baskets of hargow, crispy shrimp rolls, and softball-sized shumai. Between the lazy susans and the dining room full of 20-somethings waiting to come back to life, there’s almost nowhere better for a slow-moving Sunday brunch.  " - Brant Cox, Arden Shore, Nikko Duren, Garrett Snyder, Sylvio Martins
