Read excerpt
When the Huang family took over LV Seafood in 1999, they passed out flyers to the neighbors in Lakewood Village, hoping customers would show up. “When we started the business, [it was] very difficult,” owner Sam Huang said. “We learned little by little.” Every day the Huangs drive from Pasadena to the restaurant and work from 9 a.m. until they get home at 11 p.m. It began with just their family working in the kitchen, dining room and taking to-go orders over the phone, but now they have about 20
