Royal China on Veterans is the best I've had.

I second or third this. We've been going here for 15+ years. The dim sum is way better than the one at Panda King, but more expensive.

If you have a big group to eat, you can try asking Mrs Shirley if they will do a special menu for you. I brought her jumbo shrimp, lobsters, clams, red fish and abalone. One of the best make I've ever had in the States. She wouldn't charge us, because I provider the proteins. My dad has also been her mechanic for as long as we've been going there. but if you want a really good meal for a group, I'm sure she could accommodate. We left a $250 tip. Great dinner for a family of 8 with 6 boxes of leftovers.
