After @chandavkl recommended Huang’s BBQ I was all excited to order, but when I called they told me the place had been sold again with a new menu, so I am searching yet again.
I know we have that XLB place opening soon, but in the meantime, any suggestions?
I actually was there last night. Was pretty good. People are critical that its a bit pricey for dim sum, but still not expensive and a nice place with full bar. The crab and shrimp balls are very good and its probably as good a choice as there is in the area. Decent bar scene too.
Thanks the update. That part of town isn’t easy for me to get to, so I’d rather just drive along the 10 eastbound on a weekend for my dim sum fix (meaning I haven’t tried it myself).
The area must be phenomenally expensive for rent, so I usually will give a little bit of a pass to a place, depending on its geographical location.
Thanks for the update. That location on Melrose had been a beacon of authentic Chinese food since the early 1990s, through five or six different names and ownerships. We can only hope that the successor Bamboo Restaurant will follow that trend, though I fear it might end up being more Korean style Chinese.
The obvious choices are the Palace and Chi Dynasty on Hillhurst. Both are American Chinese. I prefer the Palace. And I’m looking forward to XLB opening. I’ve been passing by there and wondering when it will open…
