Gram Cafe
Gram Cafe in Monterey Park is all about the souffle pancakes — thick, jiggly, and worth the hype. They can take up to sixty minutes on weekends so order them early. We loved the seasonal mango pomelo version — fluffy, not too sweet, and full of ripe mango. They've also got chicken karaage, unagi, and drinks like the ube and Oreo lattes.

Sea Harbour Seafood
RosemeadSea Harbour has been around since 2001 and the quality still shows. This is where you go when you want dim sum that feels like an occasion. Gold-topped lava buns, truffle siu mai, and upscale twists on classics — all in a setting that feels polished without being stuffy. Not cheap, but worth every dollar when you want the best dim sum in SGV.
Lunasia Dim Sum House
AlhambraLunasia in Alhambra is one of SGV's most popular dim sum spots, and it's easy to see why. The portions are huge, the quality is high, and they even serve dim sum for dinner. Some dishes get fancy, like truffle siu mai or a dried seafood soup that runs $338, but you can stick with classics too. Their shrimp dumplings are massive, the chicken feet are always tender, and everything tastes great every time we visit.
