Dim Sum at Emerald Chinese Seafood Restaurant
The Southern Chinese tradition is like a buffet brought to you and served family-style, with carts of appetizer-size portions of everything from pot stickers to shiu mai (steamed dumplings) ripe for the picking.

Pho at Bali Hai
The noodle soup is a traditional morning dish in Vietnam, and in addition to the many authentic spots around town—Pho Hoa in City Heights is one of our favorites—Bali Hai recently introduced a DIY pho bar to its Sunday brunch. Add your choice of meat (tri-tip, prime rib, or meatball) with rice noodles, veggies, and herbs to a house-made broth.

Breakfast Around the World
Dosa at Surati Farsa
The traditional South Indian breakfast item—think of it as a savory, crispy crêpe eaten with your hands—comes plain or with various fillings and a spicy lentil broth and chutney for dipping. The casual spot also sells sweets and spicy snacks by the pound.
