Manhattan Beach, California

Manhattan Beach Feedback: Like it! Not as crowded or lot of shops as Sta Monica Pier, Redondo, Hermosa, but  still nice and the pier itself has a small aquarium, great for kids. Walk along the promenade to find a lot of interesting and nice houses along the beach There are nice restaurants around the area.

Din Tai Fung (Costa Mesa, California near Newport Beach) at South Coast Plaza

Oh wellllll.. I could have just gone to Torrance where there was not a lot of wait Btw, the Braised Beef Soup was not really good.. Beef was good but overall, just skip it. Rice with pork chop - not such a big fan except that I wanted to eat fried rice The rest is as amazing The place in general seems to be less 'classy' compared to the Westfield in San Jose or Torrance though, despite being in a very nice mall. Prefer just pork than pork & crab soup dumplings.
