    Honey walnut shrimp
    Zarifa A.

    If you're looking for good, authentic Chinese food in the area, I'd say that Happy Bee Kitchen is a good option! I came with a party of 6, and we ordered a variety of dishes that we shared family style. Overall, I'd say that all of the dishes here were solid, with the most surprising dish being the house special eggplant...I'm usually not a huge fan of eggplant but this dish was delicious! Portion sizes and prices here are fair as well and my party all left feeling full and satisfied. We came here on a weekday night and although there was a decent amount of people here, we were able to get seated right away. Service here was a bit slow at times but exceptionally friendly! The ambiance here is typical of a sit down Asian restaurant. The restaurant is located in the same plaza as 99 ranch market and there was plenty of parking.

    Orange chicken was weird
    Hanna R.

    I came here for dinner, the restaurant is not very big, but we were able to get seated right away. Everything came out in a decent amount of time except for the chicken feet. Portion size depended on the dish. The honey walnut shrimp was definitely on the smaller side while the orange chicken had a lot, but it was more like thin crispy chicken strips which I have never had this kind of orange chicken. Service was good. I might come back to try some other dishes since it is close by.

    Today is Tuesday, We were pleasantly surprised how large the lunch portion were and the older gentleman that served the 7 of us was very nice to us (not like the other guy we experienced in the past). The only thing we didn't get was the dim sum item when ordered over $100, we noticed it after we exited the restaurant, otherwise it was a great tasting happy gathering lunch

    All time favorite Chinese Food spot in the area and love the flavors. It's my go to spot to eat there and to order take out. It's reasonably priced and definitely try to get the lunch special to help your wallet.

    Came back for a big family pickup on Easter Sunday! Ordered two Calamari appetizers, fried fish, sesame balls, chow mein, one of my favorite dishes Walnut Shrimp! This is now in my top 2 Chinese places in the LB/Cerritos area. Everything is fresh, nice portions for sharing, and the host and server were courteous. We're going to have to eat in sometime, the dining area is well kept.

    Beef chow fun with gravy
    Con C.

    All dishes were very tasty with friendly service and quick wait time. Waitress was able to answer questions. Clean restaurant with booths and tables and clean restroom. My favorite was the green beans. First time trying this place since i'm not from the area. Meets bay area standards.

    Good. Crispy noodle
    Ari R.

    Been here a bunch of times, we used to come here when it was a different name. Overall the food is pretty good. Sometimes it's a little inconsistent though, like this time. The Mongolian beef was insanely salty, almost inedible you had to eat it with rice. It's not usually that salty though so it was definitely a fluke. House Crispy noodle is always good and it was good this time. I almost wanna give them a three stars because that dish was ruined but we've had so many other good experiences here that I'll leave it at four.

    House special chow mein which
    Jude H.

    I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but I know this place exceeds expectations. I was simply looking for a place with calamari and found my next dinner spot when I want a cozy meal. The calamari was flavorful in a way that it didn't taste like squid covered in flour and fried. The calamari had a nice savory flavor to it and my tastebuds appreciated the kick. I also ordered the house special chow mein. Again, not sure what I was expecting, but this dish was something different. There was a generous serving of each protein and the soy sauce was not overdone. I had to stop and remind myself I wanted to save some for my work lunch. Side note- these entrees definitely reheat well. I would say the only drawback was that I had ordered for pick-up and the food came out a little later than the expected pick-up time. You can't rush a good meal.

    Happy Bee Kitchen has become one of our go to places mainly because of the service. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and quick to help. They check in without hovering, and orders come out on time. It feels a lot more attentive than what we are used to at other Chinese restaurants, which makes each visit easy for our family. We usually order the French style beef with mushrooms, honey walnut shrimp, and the salt and pepper pork chop. The food is good and consistent, but the service is what keeps us coming back. Overall, it is a comfortable place with reliable food and great service. A solid spot for a family meal.

    We have ordered takeout a coup of times and finally had a chance to eat here. The food is pretty good, price is reasonable, and the cozy store is comfortable. With 4 dishes for the 3 of us, we liked pretty much everything we ordered and we had plenty to take home! The French style beef fillet, the meat was very tender, it was tasty and goes well with rice. When we ordered over of the vegetables, the server recommended something else more fresh, we appreciated that. We ended up ordering the Stirred fried Sprouts and it was excellent. We also ordered the Seafood with bean curds in clay pot, it was delicious with many kinds of seafood, the only thing is the clay pot was smaller other dishes. The only one that would probably not order again was House Special Squid. The dish was tasty with generous portions, the squids were fried and have the House sauce on top, generally, we prefer either non-fried, or fried without sauce on top as sauces makes the fried stuff less crunchy. Overall, it was a tasty dish but just not how we preferred. I think this may become one of our go to places!

    House Special Lo Mein

    Hadn't eaten Cantonese food in a while so had to hit up our favorite place in Artesia. This food was even better than we remember. We got a nice assortment of dishes that you'll see in this review.

    101. House Special Lobster
    Tess U.

    I've been going to Happy Bee for many years and have always enjoyed my meals. The food is delicious and comforting. The staff is also very friendly and it's a nice family owned restaurant. It is very clean. My favorites are the house special crispy noodles, green beans, and the fried lobster. They have a great lunch special during the weekdays, which also includes a lunch special lobster deal.

    Pan fried crispy noodles
    Pamela R.

    One of my go-to restaurants when it comes to Chinese food. I love their pan fried crispy noodles which I crave often and ordered to-go through DoorDash. Other favorites are honey walnut shrimp, orange chicken, house special fish fillet, and french style beef fillet. The beef dish has so much flavor, and comes with tons of onions and mushrooms. Their orange chicken isn't in big chunks like other places, rather they're thinner and softer but still crispy. When I crave fish, I get their house special fish fillet which also has a nice crisp and saltiness. Service has always been friendly, and they even pack your leftovers themselves. They have lunch specials as well, so recommend coming by for lunch. Plenty of parking in a shared plaza.

I ordered the rotisserie chicken along with the Bo Ne (the sizzling skillet with eggs and filet mignon), and wow... that combination was ridiculously good. The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfect for dipping into their amazing sauces. And speaking of essentials, whenever they ask how many baguettes I want, the answer is always two. One is simply not enough. The bread paired with their spicy chili oil sauce is next-level delicious. Their Thai tea is consistently amazing too. I've had it at both locations, and it's always rich, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. What really makes Garlic & Chives stand out, though, is the service.

We had a couple things : the corn cheese plate which came hot and melty. It was really savory tasting and was not just one note the way others tend to be. If you like corn and cheese it's hard to say no to. We had also a salmon spring roll which was DELICIOUS along with the salmon belly. The sauce was sweet and complimented the roll well. We ordered the toothpick lamb dish as well which was so good. No funk and no musk which I'm very sensitive to. I tend to avoid lamb all together but actually really liked this. I also had the Bo loc lac and it was tender and seasoned well. Everything tasted great!!

We ended up getting Mango Grahams, Pancit, Siomai and Popcorn Chicken. Before we placed the order, it was communicated clearly from the staff that there would be a wait (there were 3 parties ahead of us, and one of them was huge, so we kinda expected a wait anyways.) We also weren't in a rush and were willing to wait regardless, so that didn't really bother us. The Mango Grahams were exactly and more than we expected; definitely satiated my cravings. The food was also good and arrived in a reasonable manner. Again, we only wanted to check this place out because of the Mango Grahams, but we were surprised at how many other options they had for desserts, appetizers, food, and drinks. It's a bit of a drive for me, but I wouldn't mind the distance knowing the quality and options they have. Also, I briefly looked into this place before driving here, and I was expecting like a quick "boba store" environment, but it also has a sit down ambiance. Great for quick hang outs with friends or sit down meals with your family. Also, I'm specifically writing this review because of the staff. Given how busy they were, I want to recognize how friendly and welcoming they were. There were lots of orders, but they came out in an understandable amount of time, and the person in the front always had a smile of her face. She always communicated clearly and warmly about the waits, and was very accommodating to the customers. I can't wait to go back for more Mango Grahams (and also check out their other menu items!)

Pineapple Fried Rice- Flavorful rice and the contrast of the pineapple pieces was bright and refreshing. They gave us a generous portion. Longanisa- This was served silog style with garlic rice and fried egg. Longanisa was sweet and meaty and paired well with rhe rice and egg. A breakfast classic you can eat any time of the day. Lumpia- This is always a favorite. Fried to perfection so you get a crisp exterior and a juicy interior. Paired well with sweet chili dipping sauce. Good experience but service could be improved.
