FILTHIEST RESTAURANT EVER!

by OutragedCustomer

The worst, dirtiest restaurant I've ever been to. The rice bowls were filthy and had a large bloody red stain splattered on the entire bottom of the bowl. I was eating my rice when I realized my hands were bloody red from holding the bottom of the bowl. My napkin was bloody. The tea cup had a bIoody red stain on it. I also cut myself from the jagged edge on the bottom of my bowl while holding it. The manager and waiters were slow and unresponsive to what happened. We will NEVER go back there again!

• Cons: FOOD, SERVICE, DIRTY

Sunny Alhambra spot dishes dim sum, and gourmet regional Hong Kong- and Chow Zhou-style dishes.

In Short
A relatively intimate room, with butter yellow walls and bright picture windows, contrasts pleasantly with the chaotic din of other cavernous dim sum eateries nearby. Speedy servers navigate among lively tables of mainly local families and adventurous foodies. There's no rolling carts here--patrons order from the diverse menu. Dim sum ranges from classic steamed shrimp dumplings to rarer treats like shiu mai with abalone and fried green tea dumplings. More luxe menu selections include sauteed foie gras with wild mushroom and roasted pork belly.
