The Independent’s office bobbed and weaved around that neck of the downtown woods for years, so I used to eat lunch there every week or so. It’s not the place, as I’ve been a fan of China Pavilion for years. My family orders dim sum–esque dishes like xiaolongbao at other restaurants, and we’re also fans of the various dumpling-type frozen treats that cycle through the Trader Joe’s shelves. It’s not the food: I’ve long loved dim sum, and have experienced the classic big-room, cart-powered versions in both Hong Kong and Los Angeles over the years. I’m embarrassed to admit that last Saturday was my first time enjoying the dim sum menu at China Pavilion, and I have no good excuse. 2) The 3 people at the check-in desk could have also been better with communicating & more organized to those waiting- suggest occasionally updating wait status- if have known sooner, could've gone elsewhere.What’s left of dim sum at China Pavilion, with Adroît trousseau. | Credit: Matt Kettmann Bottom line: 1) Don't think the food was worth almost the 2 hour wait for limited dim sum on menu and they were out of a few things already. Individual dumplings size was on the small side, for reference our dim sums have been few cities Las Vegas, San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle. We were out of restaurant within 45 minutes.ĭim sum served all day but according to my brother, the carts bearing food (typical of true dim sum) are only there early (not sure what time it ends), so the dim sum is off a menu.įood was decent but nothing really uniquely different or anything original (wanted chicken feet as our teenager wanted this but not on menu). We had all our dim sum choices on their ticket picked out and ready for wait staff by the time we were seated & all arrived one by one. Almost 95% of those waiting for their seating stood against the wall or outside (no seats there either)- seating in-house was packed, so why not provide seats to those waiting? Walked about the mall area for 1 hour and table was still not available. No benches or very limited (1-2 chairs) seating were available, not appropriate for those disabled, elderly or children. Perhaps better communication or offer some seats while waiting.
allowed to order drinks at bar or allowed to even sit at bar for drinks while waiting -only can order "until you are seated" was the explanation. Visiting LA this week as brother lives in Glendale area, dinner here tonight (a Wednesday night) for our group of 4 (3 adults & teenage daughter) had our name placed ~6:20pm, was informed ~ 1 hour wait.
