- Mandarin Deli in Northridge for Shanghai dumplings, cold stewed tripe, and moo shoo. Believe it or not, real Chinese will occasionally stoop to eat moo shoo.
- Empress in Chinatown for dim sum and no crowds. It's fun to watch Mr. Empress, an old Chinese man in pretty simple clothes, survey his domain.
- Sam Woo's Van Nuys for hot greasy chowmein (Hong Kong "stylo") and roast meats over wonton noodles. They have a Chinese American guy working and the nicety level has shot through the roof.
Oh yeah, Naomi and Dave Chan Hansen's for Chinese New Year feasting over sticky rice, oyster lettuce wraps, shrimp chips, roast pork, etc. They have been putting back the Chi in Chinese since 2006. Bless.
