Happy Day

Had the dim sum lunch. All of it was unspectacular. The sticky rice was good. The look fun was good. Also had shrimp and spinach gau and shrimp gau which were also ok. Nothing really stood out. Would try the seafood menu if I returned but not the dim sum.

Enjoyed family dinner for Lunar Year Celebration. Large round table with children, relaxed family atmosphere. Generous portions, food was delicious. Service ok and is what would be expected given venue and staffing. Not a fancy place but the quality of the food is excellent. There is a private room as well.

Unique to this restaurant is that they serve Dim Sum throughout the day into the evening. Signature dishes include Peking Duck with Steamed Buns, Capital Pork Chops, Sizzling Peppered Beef, and their House Noodles with Crispy Noodles. They are very consistent preparing and serving you amazingly delicious dishes. Locally owned and operated. They do an amazing job taking care of their customers. A definite must try for Cantonese food.

First rate, classic Dim Sum restaurant in Kaimuki. Been around forever, with all the traditional serving methods. Parking behind the restaurant is plentiful from 11AM to Noon and then it gets real busy.

The food is good BUT the place is meh not clean there is oil on walls dirty celings, while we were sitting the chandelier almost popped off of the ceiling and spark started to come out the chandelier and started smelling like electric smoke/fire , we isually love thsi place but this time its worse than ever, this place needs people coming and checking this place out to close it down. 12/06/2025

Very large hall type Chinese restaurant, good service, but disappointing meal. The Managua (Char Siu Bao) had very little meat. The Dinner plate included really tough Char Siu Pork, the broccoli was just par boiled, still nearly raw, and the cold chicken was cut through the bone. The Chicken Fried Rice was very salty, and tasteless.

Come to find out, you don't need to be in a Chinatown to have good Chinese food! I had this place bookmarked for a while but we ended up at another establishment due to a coin toss decision. This time, my spouse and I met some Oahu friends here for an early lunch. They open at 9am! Wow! ATMOSPHERE: Don't be scared by the way it looks on the outside. The inside is actually decent and fairly clean. It's a big space with lots of tables that filled up quickly as the day progressed. PARKING: The easiest parking is behind the restaurant in the paid lot shared with other businesses. There is no validation but our charge was affordable. MENU: Dim sum (with carts) along with a huge traditional menu. Pricing is very affordable. FOOD: I had my usual favorites including pork shu mai, chicken feet, steamed look funn with shrimp and custard tarts. I loved everything as they were fresh and flavorful. The look funn came with the soy-based sauce to the side, a plus in case you want more or less of it. I of course wanted more as it had a crazy good taste! Not as salty as traditional shoyu but with a hint of sweetness. If you know what it is they use, please let me know! I did try something new which was taro stuffed into an airy shell akin to shredded wheat cereal. I didn't care for it as the taro had an odd rancid taste like the smell of sour milk. Minute Chicken Cake Noodles Ever since I saw pics of this dish at other businesses, I had to try it somewhere as it looked so delish! The menu lists cake noodles, but it actually came with pan fried noodles which are deep-fried and crunchy. The gravy wasn't as savory as I had imagined but was still very good nonetheless. The chunks of marinated chicken were tender and tasty. Big portion for the price. Highly recommended. SERVICE: Some of the ladies were very brash in the typical Chinese way. Our waters were constantly topped off. Walk up to the counter to pay. OVERALL: Very good food and prices with everything available. If the service were better they'd easily be a five star establishment to me.

This was a great first time experience. Very nostalgic authentic place. I'd recommend coming a little earlier in the day since the dim sum is made hot every morning. The waiter came with the dim sum cart I got a couple of my go tos but I did try something new. The dim sum I think was very tasty, good flavor but I feel if I came earlier in the day it would have been more moist. The second waiter came with a delicious looking tray of buns and things, and I ordered look fun which then they went to prepare it. I've never had a better look fun, it was a little crispy and there was crunchy pork bits with the perfect sauce. I liked the dim sum but I loved the look fun! It's a little outdated inside but it has a sort of charm to it. I had 4 orders dim sum and a look fun (5 pieces) for $33! Probably time to raise your prices. Thanks it was so good.
