Hmmm, we are going to have to check your credentials. In your opinion what is the best Chinese restaurant in either LA or SF?

Dim Sum: Joy Luck Palace (Sunnyvale). LA, the one that’s very good is Five Star Seafood (SGV off of Del Mar). 888 in Valley a little east of that place. Don’t go to Elite, Ocean Star, or mission, IMO. They are kind of on par with Jou Luck Palace. Koi Palace(Daly City) and Flower Lounge(Millbrae), Mayflower(Milpitas) I would stay away from.

Seafood: Newport Seafood(SGV). The restaurants listed above are decent for the Bay Area with Mayflower a notch or two below.

Best Taiwanese street food: Sin Ba La (Arcadia). Southland Flavor Cafe(Cupertino)

Lastly, in LA, the 626 Night Market is lots of crazy street food.

(Bistro Na is great too.)
