I've been to all of the major dim sum haunts in LA.. from Santa Monica to Monterey Park to China Town... Sea Empress is my favorite..
The dim sum is consistently good. I love their shrimp rice noodle.
They have a pretty good selection of Dim Sum -- more so on the weekends.
If you arrive too late on a weekday, don't expect a lot of selection or freshness...
I really like the people who work there.. very nice.
