This place has been the OG dim sum spot for my family and friends for years. Every visit is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of great memories.
We came for a Friendsgiving meal and ordered a little bit of everything — intestines, wonton soup, pork spare ribs rice cakes, pineapple buns, sesame balls, egg tarts, and even the fresh crab they hand-pick in the back and fry to perfection. Everything came out hot, flavorful, and made to order.
The fried garlic crab was the star of the night. I paired it with my
@tinashotchili chili oil for an extra kick, and it was incredible.
If you’re in Sacramento and craving authentic dim sum, this is the place. You won’t regret it.

This is the first time I have had my dim sum breakfast at the New Happy Garden in a few years. The service has significantly improved from a couple of years ago. They have very fast service and many dim sum carts to move the fresh dim sum around in front of all the tables. Most of the workers here can speak English. All four of us fixed our dim sum addiction in half an hour. The qualities of the dim sum are okay, but nothing is stand out. The dining room is a little dated. But I think I’ll be back due to their speedy service.

Welcome to the wonderful world of “Dim Sum.” You walked into a very open and spacious place. Bustling with private conversations, servers and subtle noise from cutlery. New Happy Garden is a Cantonese Chinese restaurant. The theme here is patrons sit at their tables and servers wheel about trolleys containing small plates of Chinese dishes. From vegetable entrées, fish, shrimp to beef. Each time to request a dish it is added to your bill. When you are finnish, the pay the server.

Came here for dim sum with my mom and her friends, and this might be my new dim sum spot in Sac! Everything tasted so fresh, and so good in general!!! My favorite was definitely the rice roll with some crispy doughnut? inside (I believe it’s called golden roll but not sure). Usually when I order this dish as other places it’s just the doughnut in the rice roll with some soy sauce, but Happy Garden adds fresh cilantro to it making each bite so flavorful and aromatic. I basically inhaled half the dish to myself! Service was great, the cart ladies kept coming to check if everything was good and wanted anything. You can also order whatever you want from the menu that the carts might not have! The restaurant is HUGE and has plenty of seating, I loved that I didnt have to wait and was able to just stay as long as I want listening to my aunties gossip! Definitely recommend coming here for dim sum, and will come back for dinner sometime 🙂

Food was fresh and tasted fantastic. I’m not a fan of Dim Sum but thier Chinese food is great! Bathrooms could use a makeover but they were not nasty just dated. Good food and service recommend it.

Traveling from North Dakota and was really wanting twice cooked pork. This restaurant popped up as number one in the area for it. The meal was excellent. The server was very attentive and explained the process for dining there as I had not been to a similar establishment before. She explained different items on the menu and even gave me delicious recommendations. I enjoyed the experience. I loved the ambiance and how nicely decorated the restaurant was for events. I definitely will return. If you like spice I recommend stopping by and trying their twice cooked pork!

7/28/24 new finding: the restaurant charged “15 mgmt fee” to the bill equals to 15% of the food price for our table of 4 without telling us. Be aware!!! food still good, decent service, but scamming customers on tip.
Nice restaurant, food came fast, hot, and delicious. Friendly people.
Service has improved.

Being chinese, i feel like a 3.6 is the rating for good cantones chinese food, so I am told. My beef chow fun was pretty good, meat was tender noodles fresh, a bit greasy for my liking, and it was take out. Next time we will try the dim sum. I hope you can see my pics of the menu I always want to see the price range when I come to Google restaurant sites, rarely is it up to date. Enjoy drink lots of tea

My family and I have been coming here for years. They are wonderful and the food and service are always the best! I don’t live as close as I used to but travel from North Laguna to eat there now. You can ask my kids what they want, and they won’t say Panda Express or anything else they will say “Happy Garden”. I’ll ask if they want the one in Elk Grove or Sacramento. They always say Sacramento. That’s because no other place can beat it! My family will always enjoy Happy Garden Sacramento and will support their business as much as we can. See you next time! (I’ll try to take better pictures to next trip as I wasn’t thinking about posting them here initially, and these don’t give you full credit)
