This curiously named old-style restaurant ("Happy Days"?) serves excellent dim sum. Even on a Thursday at 12 noon, the place was very busy. Service was quick & efficient, and all the dim sum we enjoyed was fresh & hot. We also ordered a side of gon lomein, which was heavenly.
A good place to get legit Chinese food outside of Chinatown, as this place is the sister restaurant to Nice Day, just outside of Chinatown. Typical offerings at typical prices. Service is ok. Food is good. We got the duck, house noodles, choy sum, spareribs, and some dim sum. The one downside is the appearance of the restaurant itself. Even by Chinese restaurant standards, this one is particularly dingy, dated, and somewhat unclean feeling.
The service was excellent and staff friendly. Some food cooked near table whilst others are staged on a cart. Sui mai and steamed & baked char sui pork bao were hot. Sui mai was very dry. Our party does not like dry sui mai. Bathrooms marked and supplied with soap and paper towels. Parking lot is very full around 10:30AM on Saturdays. Expect waiting time or arrive earlier. Restaurant is very busy late mornings.
Stewed pig feet in sweet black vinegar is the specialty of the house. For it, I dined in again yesterday evening, but was disappointedly told sold out! It was available at lunchtime. Worth trying!
Wow this place is awesome and the food is even better. The menu has probably 120 different dishes you can order and the pricing is excellent. Many waitresses and no wait as there is ample seating and private rooms for private occasions or parties. I was with another friend and we tried 5 dishes or call them platters and our bill with tax was 57 US dollars. Authentic tasting and I have eaten and quite a few Chinese dim sum style restaurants and this was the best.
The food is amazing! Everything we tried was delicious. Especially the fried Taro! 😋
Parking can be a challenge to find upon arrival, but it's not so bad that you're circling for more than 10 mins.
The service was wonderful. We were seated right away. It's always busy in there, so the spaces between seats were a bit cramped. Leave the stroller in the car & carry the baby in. It can be challenging to try maneuver around other patrons because the seats & tables are so close together.
The restroom area is clean. They do not, however, have an area where you can change a baby's diaper, so you'll have to take them to your vehicle to change or come prepared.
The prices are very good. Very affordable. There were 3 of us & we had so much food for $40. Paying when we left was a breeze.
It's one of our favorite places to go for food. Definitely recommend them & definitely a repeat customer.
DimSum was hot and delicious. We didn't mind waiting the 20 minutes as it is then steamed when ordered. However, the parking is pretty bad with people not prepaying then blocking the exit for way too long. They really should validate for take-out.
Food tasted like real Chinese food. Staff were friendly. Service was great. I would go back. They have dim sum in the morning.
I love this place! I have tried many Chinese restaurants and this place still tops them all. The Roast Ducks are moist with crispy skin. Lots of meat too. And the people are super nice. Love them. ❤️
Always the place to go for dim sum! Place is always packed but just goes to show how much their food is well liked. Masks are required upon entry and may remove once seated. Hand sanitizers at the register along with a safety plexiglass sneeze guard. Also, 6ft apart markers located on the ground.
