Happy Harbor Seafood Restaurant 凱悅大酒樓 — Restaurant in Rowland Heights

The place was VERY busy (as most restaurants are after COVID). I guess it's the style that customers have to be rude and aggressive to get attention and service once seated because no one would check on you otherwise.

The food was actually tasty. Variety wasn't as much as the traditional dimsum places where carts are pushed around. Here, customers mark what they want on the menu and the quantity, then give the menu to one of the employees (whoever you can catch).

Prices. The prices were high. I understand inflation is bad after COVID, but they charge almost $7 for 4 small, smaller than normal, steam buns (you can get 8-10 of these per order for $10.99 at regular restaurants and get bigger ones). The items were priced by tiers, small, medium, large, XL, XXL..... Hardly anything was small. Of course, customers could order regular dishes from the kitchen for marked prices.

Takeaway:

If you don't mind that you have to get aggressive to get some service there, then you'll like the food.

ALL of the employees were working hard. TBH, the place seemed to be understaffed, hence the lack of proper service. I didn't like how I had to be rude to get some attention and service (I had to shout at them, otherwise I was ignored). Although the food was good, I don't think I'm returning. I'm sure plenty of others don't mind these kinds of interactions, I just don't like to shout at others. The experience was somewhat stressful. Very...

We used to go to this place nearly every weekend until recently. My partner is Chinese but I am not. I took my brother to this place last Thursday. The place was not busy and there were just the two of us. We were seated right away but we were placed in a table in the far corner of the place. It took about 15 - 20 minutes just to get service to the table to pick up our dim sum order. After that, no waiter came to our table for the whole time we sat in the restaurant. When we finished our meal we waited for service to pick up the bill for payment and I waited for nearly 20 minutes. I stood up and waved down a young waiter who came over and rolled his eyes and took two empty plate, never took the bill and never returned. I walked to the front of the place and told the host we needed to pay to leave and she sent the young waiter back to the table. He returned smirking and took the bill. An older waiter came back with my card and the paid bill but we told the young waiter we wanted some to-go boxes for our food. We had to wait longer for the boxes. My partner told me it most likely had to do with us not being Asian that had to do with the treatment. I liked the place enough to bring my family members to lunch. I will not be returning even if my partner likes the place. He can return without me...

Great quality food. Large portions! Would recommend to people wanting dim sum. A lot of people come so make sure you get a ticket first.

Overall, very good place to come for dim sum. All of their foods were made to order and very fresh and good quality tasting. Very well flavored and larger than I am use to. Dumplings and har gows were juicy and fresh. Would recommend to friends and family and will definitely be back again.

Food. This is a made to order kind of place, no carts. The food here was very good, we got the Truffle Har Gow: aesthetic, black wrapping, smoky and tasty. Was worth a try Har Gow: Comes with 4 shrimp dumplings, simple and flavorful. Tsu Mai: 4 good sized, juicy with plump shrimp. Amazing flavor, can be filling. Noodle dish: this was very good as well, plenty of sauce to mix the noodles. I usually get it and there’s not enough sauce. Everything, comes with yu-choy (greens), shrimp, chicken, _

Setting: If there is a wait, you grab a number from the hostess and wait for them to call your number. Came on a Sunday around 12PM and although there were a lot of people waiting, we were seated within 10-15 minutes. The place was pretty big and has a large room in the back for...
