My quest to try all the great dimsum houses in the LA area (mostly the San Gabriel Valley) continues with newcomer Shi Hai.

The name apparently means “sea world.” Hopefully no “blackfish” served here.

I brought only a 100mm macro lens and so capturing the dining room was a challenge. It’s sort of SGV high style 2015....
