dim sum recommendation

[Theo]

We will be visiting (converging from NYC and Los Angeles) and looking for good dim sum.

OR - is there a recommendation for a place that specializes in XLB/scallion pancakes, and the like?

Dim Sum Garden. The soup dumplings are killer.
Plus, you get to sit in the glow of the neon lights while the passengers board the cheap bus to NYC Chinatown. Pure Heaven.

Ocean House is a superb dim sum joint. It compares to the best in NYC or Hong Kong in style and varietymof the small eats!

My vote is for Ocean Garden. Yes, the service is awful. Yes, the wait is dreadfully long. Isn't that what great Dim Sum is all about, though? It's the perfect Dim Sum experience, in my opinion. Long line to get in, rude servers, great, great food at cheap prices. What more could you want?

Had dim sum this last saturday at Ocean Harbor and it was grand. Word of caution, get there early. I saw that the carts were getting sparse after about 2.

XLB and scallion pancakes are best at Sakura Mandarin or Dim Sum Garden.
