Description
Everyone I've ever taken to Lake Spring Shanghai in Monterey Park has gone back on their own. That's saying something when there are hundreds of Chinese restaurants competing for attention. This small restaurant features the cooking of Shanghai, with wonderful Shanghai-style dumplings, sheets of tofu braised to resemble goose, and a slew of other appetizers. The pièce de résistance is pork "pump" -- a pork leg cooked slowly in Chinese plum sauce until it's so tender the waiter can cut through it with a spoon.Times Restaurant Critic
