Longo Seafood Restaurant (鴻德品位)

101 Best restaurants of Los Angeles

"#63 There are no rolling carts at Longo Seafood, a glitzy dim sum emporium in Rosemead with a Vegas-style ballroom chandelier and massive, 20-something-foot-wide television projecting noiseless images of pop videos and CCTV news. Someone hands you a paper menu with more than 100 options. You check off your selections and waves of dishes begin to roll in: lobster dumplings and black truffle shumai; metal steamers of chicken feet in spicy XO sauce; fresh, tender buns filled with coconut and creamy egg yolk. The kitchen puts its spin on the steamed rice noodle rolls called cheong fun, which are twisted loosely and filled with things like tender roast pig and scallops. At dinner, Longo Seafood turns into a grand Hong Kong-style banquet restaurant. Try the soy sauce chicken, whose crisp, crackly skin shatters between your teeth beautifully. You could spend days at Longo Seafood and not exhaust the menu. No alcohol. Lot parking. Credit cards accepted."
