Reviews
The egg tarts are freshly made with a warm center and crispy layered shell.
The shrimp dumplings are generous in size with a dash of sesame oil in the middle. Sadly there was no small bit of bamboo in it.
Really solid dim sum spot. The food is freshly and well made. Service was pretty good for dim sum standards. Parking is a hit or miss since the restaurant uses parking in the Holiday Inn Express. Pretty good prices as well.
Food- 5 stars
Pretty good quality and fresh dim sum at pretty good prices. Some of the best sticky rice lotus leaf wraps and baked buns around the area here. Everything is really solid and fresh, and their unique speciality is their coconut crispy chicken which is pretty attractive if you get the full chicken. You get close to the quality of a Lunasia at a much lower price
Service- 5 stars
Similar to most dim sum restaurants, you do have to flag the wait staff if you need something. Otherwise, the servers were pretty attentive on clearing out plates and getting orders out efficiently
Ambiance
It’s not as tightly packed as other dim sum restaurants. There’s plenty of waiting area since it’s attached to the Holiday Inn Express. It just can be a wait during weekends and there’s not much to look around if you’re waiting, since it’s not attached to a larger strip mall
Bottom Line
Really good dim sum at great prices. Just make sure you go early or late during the weekends to avoid the wait times
My favs were the chashu pork, cheun-fan (steamed rice rolls) with shrimp or chashu, spicy shrimp & pork wontons and the baked chashu buns.
A special mention about their roasted chicken. They ask if they want it whole or pre-cut. We chose the whole chicken. Because it’s an IG-worthy dish. But that’s it. It was good, but not great (a little dry.)
Everything was non-extraordinary. Nothing bad. Everything was prepared the way it should be – which is very good.
The cold cucumbers appetizer dish was good, but the Szechuan peppercorns(?) made my tongue go numb. It took a while for my taste buds to wake up again and fully enjoy the rest of the dishes. It was tasty and different than DTF’s.
Our friends called ahead and put our group on the waiting list. At 130pm we still had to wait 35-40 minutes for a table for 8. The wait time for smaller groups was much better (10 min.)
You absolutely have to check out Happy Together in El Monte—it’s seriously a must-try for dim sum lovers! It’s super easy to find, located right in the same area as the Holiday Inn.
Heads up: The portions here are huge! They are noticeably bigger than your standard dim sum restaurant, so make sure you pay close attention to the order size listed on the menu. We learned this the fun way when we ordered the egg tarts and got six instead of the usual four. Talk about a delicious overload!
We had a huge party of 16 people and spent about $360, but honestly, we brought home a ton of leftovers because we completely overestimated the portion sizes!
They don’t use the traditional carts here; instead, you just mark your order on a paper sheet, and they bring the fresh food straight to your table—no need to wait for the cart lady to roll by.
It is a smaller restaurant, so definitely try to come early if you have a big group. The largest table can squeeze in about 16 people (it was a cozy fit, but hey, that’s what family is for! ).
Highly recommend!
