Lunasia Dim Sum House(Alhambra)

Decided to spend a valentine day here, due to the fact was craving Cantonese food. Place is great, spacious. Looking at their wall seeing a frame from Los Angeles time which in my head this must be a real deal. Coming in can hear the servers speaking in hoisan/guangdong language which brought a sense of home as a Cantonese speaker. My girlfriend and I placed our reservation for 4:20 which they weren’t busy pretty open seating was placed in a corner wasn’t appreciated it of it but it’s okay. And this was also her first time experiencing an experience like this which I’m glad to of came to a place to actually try it together as I’m very particular of where I’m getting dimsum from. What I had her tried was Hot and sour soup - 10/10 very good, it’s hard to find a place to messed up this rec

Lunasia has an excellent reputation for dim sum style real Chinese food (not Westernized) and we were not disappointed. The menu is extensive with many seafood and other dishes in addition to dim sum. Each dish was impeccably prepared, and served quickly (it was not busy). We liked each dish. Even if you're not into dim sum, they have traditional dishes such as sweet and sour chicken and beef chow fun which we enjoyed. I especially loved the fried soft shell crab. We had excellent service - I dropped my chopsticks and no kidding, before I was able to retrieve them a server was already giving me a new set.

Unfortunately they served us rare beef inside the beef rice noodles. We asked two separate staff members to explain whether the beef was actually cooked or not. Both staff said offhandedly that it was the "marinade" which made the meat look red. Both of us tried small pieces and the texture still didn't taste right. A third staff member walked by and eyed the beef rice noodles curiously but didn't stop to rectify the issue. My husband has a sensitive stomach and vomited afterwards & experienced serious indigestion. We didn't finish the rest and when we got home, all it took was 5 more minutes of steaming for the meat to turn into a more "normal" and well done color. Next time, please believe customers when they point out the uncooked state of meat rather than gaslight them into thinking it

I went for lunch on a Thursday. I was seated right away. I had the Kung-Pao Chicken, Siu-Mai with Truffle, Minced Chicken Bao, and the Pan-Fried Bun with Crab Meat. It was all excellent. I highly recommend.

1/11/26: Excellent dim sum. Had siu mai, shrimp rice noodle, wantons in chili oil, steamed pork bun, fried pork bun, sticky rice in leaf, jujubee dessert. All were very good.
