“Columnist Jenn Harris says the dan tat at Hollywood’s Kingdom Dim Sum are most reminiscent of the ones she enjoyed as a child, with a smooth custard and delicate crust. Opened by mortgage broker Laurence Mo, Mo’s father, Man Mo, who worked in Cantonese dim sum restaurants for over 20 years, is responsible for the egg tarts here, preparing them in small batches every morning. The restaurant also offers popular dim sum items like siu mai and har gow, in case you want to sit down for a more complete meal.”
