A local favorite, the Hong Kong style Empress Pavillion opened its doors more than three decades ago and has been serving some of the best Dim Sum in Los Angeles. We interviewed the restaurant's general manager Ken Poon, who talked about how the roots of Dim Sum cuisine translate into "something from the heart" and how the Empress Pavilion manages to serve more than two thousand people during the weekends.
