Those humongous, crispy shrimp dumplings are sinful, those BBQ Pork rolls are flaky on the outside, juicy on the insides, & don't forget the walnut paste dessert (only available during the weekends) which is absolutely s-w-e-e-t !! oh you guys gotta try out NBC Dimsum in Monterey Park, on the corner of Atlantic & few blocks South of Garvey.

It is in the 99 Ranch Plaza on Gale and Nogales in Walnut. I believe the Chinese name has 凱港 in it. the former Seafood Harbor, Mission 261, and Triumphal Palace are all made order dimsum places. hmm…. thinking again, perhaps the undisputed Dimsum champ is former Seafood Harbor…. the name has changed, though I’m told the chefs have not.

I was there Sep 9th! My goodness! I went to Ocean Seafood for dimsum a couple of months ago. The last time I went there was when it was still Miriwa, the first HK palace/banquet restaurant to arrive in the states... but it's been a 10-13 years since then. Coming in at 9:30 in the morning and ordering �餃 hargow, siu mai 燒埋, 鳳爪 phoenix claw, and some rice rolls 腸粉... I thought the food not that great at all. Empress does a better job by far. However, I do have a lunch appointment at Ocean this Saturday, so hopefully it will be better this time around. I think the best places for dimsum is Triumphal Palace (on 6th and Main) in Alhambra and Mission 261 in San Gabriel (across from the Mission). Some ppl really like 888 Seafood on Valley, in San Gabriel. Ocean Star in Monterey Park on Atlantic.. but personally, I will pass on the later two despite how others like it.. the atmosphere and cleanliness are horrible at those places. For a push cart type restaurant, I feel Ocean wins on taste. Empress is closed now? I was there Sep 9th! My goodness!

On a sort-of related note (Sichuan food), does anyone know if there is an L.A. grocery where æœ?天椒, (Pinyin: cháo tiÄ?n jiÄ?o, English: facing heaven chiles) can be purchased?? Are the restauranteurs importing directly from China, or is there a local supplier somewhere? Thanks for the review - will be trying Ocean Seafood!
