LA | Chef Tony | Truffle Chicken That Will Steal Your Heart

As someone who grew up with authentic Cantonese dim sum, I’ve often felt LA’s offerings just didn’t hit the mark 😔🥢 After spending recent years in Guangzhou, returning to LA made me avoid dim sum altogether—until now. Heard good things about Chef Tony’s modern take, so I joined a business lunch at their Monterey Park location 🏙️✨ The space feels fresh and contemporary, a nice departure from the old-school Chinatown vibe. Highlights: The shrimp-stuffed fried dough was crispy and satisfying 🍤🥖 The truffle-infused chicken was aromatic and utterly delicious 🍗🍄 Even the bitter melon and shrimp rice roll was a pleasant, creative surprise! The stir-fried beef ho fun was just okay—not the star, but decent 🍜 Overall, Chef Tony helped restore my faith in LA dim sum 🙌💖 We arrived around 11:30 AM on a Saturday, and the wait wasn’t bad at all—worth planning a return visit! From updated classics to bright, modern settings, Chef Tony brings a welcome refresh to Cantonese dining in LA 🇭🇰✨ #Foodie #DimSumLove #LAEats #CantoneseCuisine #ModernDimSum #TruffleChicken #WeekendBrunch #NewSpotAlert #FoodHopeRevived #EatWithJoy
