  • In Las Vegas, if you were to go off the Vegas strip a little bit, to a place called Spring Mountain, you'd find an amazing Chinatown serving up great Asian food with great value. Well, I'm happy to say that it's the same here in Los Angeles.
    If you just go a little further out from the Los Angeles city center to an area called San Gabriel Valley, you'd find amazing Asian restaurants serving up great food with great value as well. And it was thanks to the recommendations that let me to great, elevated dim sum restaurant for an amazing meal... and it gets better because this is all you can eat! For an incredible $25, you can have all the shrimp dumplings, pork sui mai, and beef chow fun you want as well as their specialty dishes such as a wagyu rice roll and signature sticky rice.
    This dining experience turned into more of a challenge. How many plates of delicious dim sum can I have on my own? I'm going to find out... We're walking on the thin edge here as any dishes not finished incurs a fee...

      Dude, you went on a holiday knowing that it was going to be busy. Yet, you complaining about the wait and service. Then you went on to talk about short-staffing to maximize profits. WOW. Thank you Albert Einstein. If you didn’t say it, no one would’ve known. An all you can eat restaurant at an affordable price made you wait 45 minutes for a table on a busy holiday weekend? How dare they?? Even if they wanted to hire more people, where can they find extra people for just one day? What about the other days where they aren’t as busy? If they overstaff, they will have to increase prices to keep up. And then you would complain about high prices. You people are impossible to please.

      I had the same thought and frankly when I heard the name of the restaurant, I lowered my expectations because the name sounded very Americanized and “Bistro” makes me start thinking French. Strange name for such an authentic place. Thank you Tim for making us aware of it. I’m about 120 miles away but it just might be worth the trek. Cheers.

We'll definitely check it out. A little tip if you're ever in the area again. About 5 minutes from Bistro 1968 is Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant. It's excellent for dim sum!

    Food cost is around 30% for restaurants, so at 25.88, tim has to eat around $90 worth of menu price to make the boss break even just on food costs. Eating 10 items at 8 bucks each, is 80 bucks, so the boss still didnt lose money, but has labor, rent, utilities, insurance costs. 11 items is the break even point, 12+ items is when boss is losing money.

      I'm ashamed to say I have never learned to use Chopsticks. And I get jealous watching the ease with which others use them. That's ok, tho - as Tim Lee would say! I enjoy watching people use them more than being jealous!! It's beautiful to me!! 🌿

    After seeing this video, I made the effort to drive 50 minutes in traffic to eat here with my mom on a Wednesday for lunch. It was only a few tables with diners there at 1:30. We were excited to try at first and got 8 dishes. They also give you a free pot of tea which is a plus. Service was friendly but few of the wait staff can speak English so it was a bit of a struggle.
    The buffet wasn't extensive. just enough and it lacks some of my favorite dishes at other dim sum places that are very common. The offerings were disappointing in varieties. My mom loves the steam spare ribs but i didn't try it. My favorite was the fried chicken wings (yumm and we ate 4 dishes LOL). And contrary to what Tim says, get the steam rice in lotus leaf! It was moist and very good. The Okinawan brown sugar moist cake was the only dessert we tried and we love it. Other than thes dishes, the rest were very average and not good like the other dim sum places. We ordered the wagyu beef fried noodles but they never brought it out. The har gow was huge but very tough, though the shrimp feelings was good. The other dumplings were below average.
    Overall, i wouldn't eat here again as the quality was below average. I feel as if you come with one or two diners, you may get -your money;s worth a bit in savings but for a group of 3 diners it's best to go elsewhere as for $80 and tips, you will eat as much or even pay less at other non buffet dim sum places and where the taste and quality is much better. I wouldn't go back.

    Those where some generous portions. It would be nice if they would cater to the single diner with 1 or 2 pieces per order. You realy need to go there with a group of at least 3 to be able to sample more.
    I have never been to a dim sum. The closest for me is to get steamed or fried dumplings, with a few other offerings of a Chinese appetizer menu. 😊
    I consider myself a bit adventurous. But not sure I could handle tripe. But everything else looked so good.
