10Best Says

Top quality dim sum is now easy to find in the San Fernando Valley, ever since the opening of Shanghai Rose in 2014. Restaurateur Rose Hu has staffed her restaurant's impeccable open kitchen with Hong Kong chefs (and one of Mr. Chow's top tocques, too), who create every dish from scratch every day. Which means the best Baked BBQ Pork Buns you have ever tasted, for starters, with a honey glaze, light-as-air dough and chopped pork filling with just the right spice. You can get dim sum served any time in this sleek, sophisticated space, but look for the full-on traditional cart service only on the weekends. Try the classic pan-fried potstickers, and check out Shanghai Rose's unique offerings like the Crispy Seaweed Pork Roll and the Baked BBQ Pork Pie. There's a full selection of Chinese cuisine as well; don't miss the luscious Chef Tan Special Lobster, made with a garlic black pepper butter sauce that will make you swoon.

Chinese: "The Chef Tan Special Lobster in garlic black pepper sauce is heavenly!"

Best for Chinese Because: Great dim sum has been hard to find near the Hollywood Hills in the San Fernando Valley, but these days Shanghai Rose has changed that.
