“Highly recommend Happy Morning. Met a couple of friends here for a nice family style dinner. The service was very quick and staff was very kind and welcoming. The place is tucked in a corner of the Vons plaza by Rite Aid, on the other end of the plaza to other eateries, popping yolk, four seas, boiling point. The food was nicely portioned, perfect for family style and everything was fresh and very delicious. The decor was modern and very clean. 5 adults and 2 toddlers left very full and satisfied with left overs to boot. We tried a variety of veggie, noodle soup, fried rice, half chicken and everything tasted great. Growing up in San Gabriel/alhambra this place reminded me of the spots I grew up eating at, now I have a great food spot not far from the house. Can't wait to come back!“
“We went here for breakfast. The portions were generous, and the food was tasty. I had the hot milk tea, and it was really good. They also have free refills for drinks as well, which is not standard practice in most places. Will definitely return.“
“Hainan chicken was really good! We also ordered seafood fried noodles and seafood fried rice. The shrimp was pretty fresh. They were kind enough to accept our special requests for reduced sodium. The staff are very friendly despite being busy.“
“We love this restaurant for dim sum and regular meals. The Chinese broccoli is bright green, tender and tasty. The beef tenderloin is melt- in -your mouth delicious ! My favorite is the steamed turnip cakes (dim sum).Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to bring in wheelchair“
“Each table orders through a QR code without having to speak to the waiters. The menu has good variety and the food comes out fast! Their vegetable dishes are good and they do have some good vegetarian options of noodles, rice, dumplings, etc. For me, the one thing that would bump up the overall rating to 5 stars, is more vegetarian/plant based protein like tofu.“
“Tried it for the first time last week, and I have to say, it’s quite authentic. Delicious. Thinking about returning again today with my family. Ordered the string beans with beef the first time. Rice was perfect. Service was good. The coconut jello desserts was good and so was the iced lemon tea. This is Cantonese style food for the most part. Plenty of parking. Place is tucked away in a small plaza. Place is clean and modern.“
“Indulge in a culinary adventure with three new standout entrees: Hainan Chicken, Sizzling Beef Tenderloin, and Baked Tomato Pork Loin Rice. Each dish is a masterpiece of flavor and texture. First up, the Hainan Chicken, a beloved classic that never fails to impress. Tender poached chicken, imbued with subtle hints of ginger and garlic, rests atop a mound of fragrant, fluffy rice. Next, the Sizzling Beef Tenderloin takes center stage, promising an explosion of flavors with every bite. Juicy strips of beef tenderloin, seared to perfection, sizzle enticingly on a hot skillet, releasing mouthwatering aromas that tantalize the senses . Last but not least. Succulent slices of pork loin, baked to tender perfection, are nestled atop a bed of fragrant jasmine rice, infused with the sweetness of ripe tomatoes. These entrees promise a dining experience that transcends expectations. From the classic simplicity of the Hainan Chicken to the bold flavors of the Sizzling Beef Tenderloin and the fusion delight of the Baked Tomato Pork Loin Rice. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.“
“The red bean puff is so delicious. This is a really good dim sum place I’d highly recommend it. It is now one of my favorite places and I can’t wait to go back. The prices are also very reasonable. Best custard bun I’ve ever had. I did miss choosing the dim sum from the carts though.“
“My review is mainly on the food cause we all know service is not always going to be amazing at these types of restaurants haha. I come here pretty often with my parents because it's so close to my house. The food is almost always a hit with a few exceptions here and there but for the most part, we always leave pretty happy and with leftovers haha. I will say over the years, the portions have gotten smaller but that's not surprising considering how expensive things are getting. Food is always fresh and comes out relatively quickly“
“This is my favorite place to eat in Rowland area. The food is always on point. I believe it's one of the best Cantonese cafes in all of SGV. My favorite item to order here is the mushroom truffle pizza. Their pizzas are so good. The dough is crispy on the outside but nice and chewy on the inside. They use enough cheese and are generous with the mushrooms. I also love their fillet mignon and shrimp as well as their chicken steak meals. All the food is really fresh and quick. They are packed every day during lunch and dinner times so definitely try to come early and get a seat!“
“Haven't been here since remodeled. Prices are good based on the area, and no need to pay tips because almost everything is self serve. However, service is ok but not every employee has good service. Food is good, and you have to self serve soy sauce or chili sauce etc. Porridge is still an excellent and big portion in my opinion. I like the Pork Chop and the black pepper sauce is the perfect match, and pork chops are not dry. Probably a place will come back for brunch.“

“Decided to visit to this spot-on Thanksgiving Day 2023! Honestly, not sure what to expect, as soon we walked in, we were happily greeted and seated right away! I noticed there were a ton of to go orders. Partner and I were craving our typical Chinese food orderSalt and Pepper Calamari – Crunchy, seasoned well, not too spicySzechwan Eggplant – hint of spice, stayed hot (temperature wise) the whole timeBeef Chow Fun w gravy – Tender beef, flavorful noodsDuck – typical, very good except, it came out room temp.BBQ Pork – Typical and just like the duck – room temp.If you are in or near the area and can’t get to Alhambra or Rosemead, let’s say you live in Whittier, City of Industry, Avocado Heights then this is your spot. =)Missing star – I was quite surprised at the price of 2 Bbq item combo $31? Check out how small the portion was.“
“UPDATED November 2023Shame on me for not updating my review because this place still rocks! They brought back more dim sum dishes and the service is still friendly & attentive! Was sad after they changed the menu and took out some of my kids favorite dishes but now they brought it back and yep it is better than the rest of other place in the area with better quality you can taste!“
“Major selling point of authentic taste, and that promise was mostly delivered.Three dishes are excellent, better than anywhere else, and will return for more:Shredded chicken has very good texture and excellent flavor. No ginger dip provided because it's already mixed in.Beef offal has sweetbread (pancreas ) , tripe and stomach. Very good flavor and good sauce.Lamb hotpot is very good to excellent, miso dip will persuade people who don't like the lamby gamey to love it.Three are recommended, but similar could be available elsewhere :Stir fry pork liver has good temperature control resulting in good texture, but the sauce is a little heavy for my taste.Long beans with minced pork was good to fair.Hot pot rice was fair. Good flavor but I want more crispy burnt rice at the bottom.Only dish I don't recommend is the noodles in Peking sauce. The flavor was off, not what I expected.Also tried beef offal rice noodles soup. Good to very good. And the serving is huge. Best buy.The steamed egg white desert is fair to good. Not too sweet.The chef has a tendency for bigger flavors. Perfect for anyone who does not like blandness. Overall strongly recommended.Vegetarian options: A vegetarian section available on menuDietary restrictions: Ask before ordering. Not impossibleParking: Large strip mall outdoor parkingKid-friendliness: Fair to good kid friendly. Not much hazard . Saw families dining. Didn't ask for or seen high chair.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to curb, swing glass doors. Fair spacing between tables and clear lane to toilet“
“Came here for family dinner. Best HK style food around this area without a doubt! The decor was nice, the food was delicious with generous portion and the service provided by John(not 100% sure if that was the correct name lol) was outstanding. He was friendly, and made excellent recommendations. We'll definitely be returning soon!“
“We got the chow fun, baked pork chops rice and bubble waffles. Loved the baked pork chops and bubble waffles but was not a huge fan of the chow fun. The baked pork chops was delicious and really hits the craving for me. The sauce was both flavorful and hearty and it went great with the pork chops and rice. The bubble waffle was crispy on the outside and very soft on the outside, very addicting to eat. The chow fun was a bit too oily for me, which is common for this dish, it didn't come with beef I believe it was extra, I wish we ordered beef with it because only the noodles itself was too much.“
“Maybe because I'm used to the subpar OC standards of dimsum where it tastes bland but they over charge you, Happy Harbor actually was a refreshing delicious experience. My party ordered the usual suspects of dimsum, chicken feet, spare ribs, shumai, hargow, tripe, porridge etc and the total bill came out to be only $80~ for 4 people which is decent! Ofc, the SGV-snob in me thinks this is still not up to snuff but the OC dimsum-starved me thinks this is amazing already. Oh also you order off a menu like most newer dimsum places so you do not get to enjoy the dimsum cart lady experience but to each their own.“
“Went in today to try them out. I'm new in town and Chinese restaurants are the first places I hunt down when I'm new to a city! This place didn't disappoint! Every single thing we ordered was perfect!!! Thank you, Cindy! Your place is the best!!!“
