"Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise—eating dim sum alone is an absolute power move, and why you’ll often find us at NBC Seafood on our days off. This massive Monterey Park spot is a classic and also one of the few SGV dim sum restaurants left that still offer cart service. The menu consists mostly of tried and true staples like juicy siu mai and crispy turnip cakes, but everything is delicious, and the thrill of ordering from a passing cart instead of a regular menu can’t be overstated. Wait times on the weekends can get intense, but if you come during the week, you’ll basically walk right in. " - Brant Cox, Nikko Duren
