It just depends if you have time to get through LA traffic and drive all the way over there ... it'll prob. take you about 45-60mins from UCLA.

with no traffice it is about 20-30 minutes from UCLA ot Monterey Park. I have tested it before and 25 minutes is the average with moderate traffic on 10 freeway near Staples Center.

I love Dim Sum. You should check out this one place. Happy Garden, great place. My friends and I used to go there all the time.

The only good option you have for dim sum near UCLA would be VIP Harbor Seafood, but the comments here might make you think otherwise.

You should probably just leave early and go east to downtown for Empress Pavilion or a little further east towards Alhambra/Monterey Park (where I live!).

If you exit south on Atlantic Blvd from the freeway, at the intersection with Garvey Ave., there are about 3-4 places such as Ocean Star, Empress Harbor, and the Triumph Palace (That's the name? I ate there a few times, but never paid attention to the name). And NBC Seafood if you go further down Atlantic Blvd. a few blocks, past Garvey Blvd. and just after the stoplight at Newmark Ave.

There's one more place in Alhambra called Top Island Seafood that's in a big shopping area. I guess it's OK, but I think you should head towards the other places first in Monterey Park.

I went with my grandparents and other relatives to these places, so there's at least something good about these places, although they do go to Empress Harbor since they know one of the owners.

I won't eat that stuff after someone told me "You Dim Sum, you lose some."

I'd be tempted to turn anyone that said that to me into Dim Sum.

I'm not sure I'd like the taste of semen.
