Wow this is now one of my favorite dim sum spots! Tasty and big portions at cheap prices with good service. It's quite popular even during weekday lunch. Love everything we ordered: Baked BBQ pork buns Chicken feet Steamed rice rolls with shrimp Steamed beancurd roll Shrimp pork shui mai Tripe with ginger Clean and spacious restaurant with free parking. read more

Decent dim sum in the high $5-6 price range. Service is attentive. There is a line waiting to get in at opening as well so if you miss the 10am opening time frame, it might be better to wait til 11am when seats open up again. Parking is a bit chaotic as it is in the same parking lot as Holiday Inn- we opted to park outside instead. They do validate for parking but I am not sure how strict their enforcement policy is. I appreciate how their fried rice is a little different - with some corn and purple rice. Overall, I would say this is decent for El Monte dim sum, but I would prefer the push cart style of SGV. read more

Located in a Holiday Inn in El Monte, Happy Together Dim Sum does not disappoint. The place was packed when we came early Sunday afternoon, but we were quickly seated within 30 minutes. You order off a paper sheet specifying how many of each item you want. The dim sum came out fresh and piping hot. Portions were nice sized and seasoned to perfection. We ordered the typical dim sum fare: sticky rice nui mai gai in lotus leaf, custard buns, chicken feet, siu mai, radish cake and shrimp rice rolls. Pleasantly surprised with the quality and quantity! We'll be back! read more

We've driven by this place a few times and the place is always packed. That was enough of a reason to book a large group for a celebration. It was everyone's first time at the restaurant and we all ordered a little of everything. The service was pretty fast and they kept refilling our teapots. We ordered a good variety of food and I thought everything tasted well. We were also seated right away even though not everyone in our group arrived. That was thoughtful. Worth trying. read more

Ambiance: it's a popular Cantonese restaurant located on the ground level of the hotel, shared parking lot, packed and limited seating inside the restaurant Service: so disorganized and very unprofessional. First of all, no accurate estimate over their waiting lines, I was told about thirty minutes wait, but it turned out to be more than one hour and twenty minutes; second, I witnessed one customer dropped a red envelop to bribe the front door host in order to skip the long line Food: variety choices on their menu, classic Cantonese dim sum and cuisines Shrimp & Pork Siu-Mai - *** barely tasted any shrimp, nearly any visible pieces Pan Fried Chives Dumpling - **** tasty, recommend Deep Fried Sesame Ball - *** served barely warm, sitting in kitchen for long, average Beef & Cilantro Rice Noodle Roll - *** average Shrimp & Onion Rice Noodle Roll - *** average Roasted Duck - ** fatty and tasted old Soy Sauce Chicken - *** average Roasted Pork - **** crispy skin, recommend Price: modern portions and mediocre quality, not quite worth $35+ per person read more

I heard great things about this place so I decided that it was time to give it a try. Came here to try their dim sum which was not too shabby. Their prices are similar to other dim sum places in the area. The dim sum is decent. I especially enjoyed their steamed rice noodle rolls. This restaurant is located inside of Holiday Inn but there is an entrance to the restaurant off to the side. I will say that when it gets super busy for dinner, they close that side entrance so you would need to enter through the hotel entrance instead. read more

Happy Together in El Monte seriously exceeded expectations. Everything we ordered was on point, but a few dishes really stood out. The shrimp dumplings were fresh juicy, and definitely a must-have. The coconut crispy chicken had that amazing crunch on the outside with coconut favor while staying tender and flavorful inside. But the highlight of the meal was the roasted duck. Super crispy skin, and rich flavor. It had the little candles underneath the plate to keep the duck warm. It's easily one of the best I've had in the area. Great food. Highly recommend if you're craving quality Chinese dim sum. read more

Always looking forward to a new dim sum place but as usual, a few solid hits and a few decent ones. My favorites were the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves (no mei gai) because it was moist and a enough ground pork and a lop Cheung piece for a delicious dish. The chicken feet (phung jao) were huge! and you got 4 nice size pieces and a tiny one. Flavor was on point. We decide to try their coconut chicken that indeed have a coconut flavor but importantly, the chicken was moist, even the white meat.Not a normal din sym dish, but if you're wondering about since a few tables had it, I would get it to try. I wasn't a fan of the ribs (no black bean sauce) but my cousin loved it. Oddly, the other really good dish was the lettuce with fermented tofu and jalapenos. The shrimp rice noodles and shrimp with chives were fine. For those 7 dishes, 95 dollars. read more

This restaurant is located inside the Holiday Inn and parking can be extremely challenging especially on the weekends They're open daily 10am-3pm & 5pm-9pm Dim sum is $6-7/dish and $2.50/person for tea (there's an option to bring your own tea for $1.50/person) Inside was spacious with plenty of seating but wished there was more room in the lobby for those waiting to be seated NOTE: my pics are of takeout I've gotten there. However, I have dined there before but just didn't take any pics! I came on for Sunday brunch and got there around 11am so wait time was over an hour Service was not very attentive since they were busy The dim sum was very delicious. The siu mai were huge and consisted of 4 pieces. Each piece was stuffed with plenty of pork that wasn't too fatty and shrimp. It wasn't too salty but not too bland. Definitely recommend! The tripe was slightly spicy but very good. It was packed with flavor and was very tender. The Coconut Crispy Chicken ($16.88) was so crispy and the chicken was so good. The meat was tender and the skin had a hint of coconut taste in every bite. Definitely a must get! Overall, the food was very delicious but the service could use some improvement. read more

I discovered this place while hunting for a new duck restaurant in Arcadia, the duck in my opinion was okay but everything else were excellent. While the staff primarily speaks Chinese, which creates a bit of a language barrier, the quality of the food makes it a must-visit. read more

Connected to the Hilton Mall, this place has really good Chinese food. The food doesn't feel greasy at all. Came here during Chinese New Year and other times for Dim Sum. The roasted pig was super delicious, the skin was crunchy, and the meat was moist and cooked to perfection. During dim sum, the food is ordered via paper. I would recommend the rice noodle with soy sauce (it was so so fresh, I ordered it a second time). Service is good! Everyone is friendly and fulfills requests pretty fast. Lots of seating as well! read more

Came in to Happy Together with my girlfriend for dim sum with another meetup group. We arrived early and were able to find parking quickly. Others struggled to find a space. There was a serious line well before they opened their doors at 10AM. Fortunately there are some benches and chairs for people to sit in while they wait. Service was slow but the food was probably the best dim sum I've ever had. Pretty good selection of items and reasonably priced. For 8 of us our bill came out to $35 per person including tip. We even had some leftovers that a few people took home with them. I'll definitely return, like I mentioned above this was a very tasty dim sum experience for me. While Happy Together doesn't have carts that they push around from table to table they take your order to the kitchen and return with your food. In a way the relatively slow service worked out for us as most of the meal was paced such that we were able to eat most dishes while they were hot. read more

One of the better spots in SGV for dim sum! My party of 5 came on a Saturday afternoon 15 minutes after they opened and had to wait about an hour and a half before finally getting seated. They have an online waitlist which made it convenient to check on our queue placement. The interior is pretty clean and spacious. Because it's shared with the Holiday Inn hotel parking lot there was very limited parking and it was difficult to find since it was busy. There is parking on the street or the McDonald's lot. We ordered 8 items totaling to about $100 and the food was fresh and really tasty! My favorite items were the shrimp rice noodle roll (cheung fun) which was really chewy, the half steamed chicken which they gave a generous portion of, and the baked bbq pork bun which had a flaky top and bits of corn flakes on for a nice crunch. In terms of service, specific workers are really attentive and nice, filling up our teas and clearing items but some of the waiters were okay with service. One of the waiters had brought out the wrong chicken item and the waiter bringing it out pretty much dismissed/ignored it, but upon calling the manager, they were able to take back the wrong order and bring out the right item. Overall I enjoyed the food a lot and it was worth the wait considering I had company to talk to. If you come on the weekend be prepared for long waits and get on the waitlist as soon as they open! read more

One of the few dim sum restaurants left that serve great food that isn't from frozen manufactured brands. Pork Siu Mai has a great meaty flavor and texture with nice size pieces of mushroom and shrimp. 9 out of 10. The Shrimp Har Gow has a nice bite and the wrapper is wonderfully light and great texture 8 out of 10. Steamed Rice Noodles will always be a childhood favorite and the shrimp and sauce is top notch. 10 out of 10. Accidentally ordered tue BBQ Pork instead of the Roast Pork and was unable to send it back. The edges looked dryer than I cared for but the BBQ sauce made up for it. 7 out of 10. Besides the food, expect to wait 30-40 minutes for a table and be patient looking for a parking spot. It would be nice if they had carts, but this place is small and tight and a cart isn't going to fit. Maybe if they expanded to a larger location, it would be something to consider. read more

We came here for our first time and the food was good. Only the chicken was a bit dry, in my opinion. Service was awesome. Staff was very attentive.

Will be back to try dim sum next time. read more

Happy Together - Dim Sum Near Me - El Monte, California

4.5 Stars. This place is located inside a Holiday Inn. I ate here with a large group of people so we ordered several items. The crispy pork chop and duck stayed warm thanks to a fire they light underneath it. All the pork chop pieces looked like high quality pieces and were presented beautifully. The duck pieces looked pretty high quality as well (meaty and not boney). The har gow and siu mai was great. The egg tart was fine, the pineapple bun was good. My only complaint is that the Cheung Fun dishes had a very sticky consistency on the rice paper. It was impossible to get a piecec of cheung fun because it was all stuck together as if it was just 1 huge rice paper blanket. Service was great, the servers were attentative. Be prepared to wait for a long time, I came here on a weekday for lunch at 12 and I struggled to find parking and still had to wait 30 mins. I can only imagine the weekends or holidays... read more

The food is really good. Got the lamb pot and it has bamboo and it wasn't games! Very rare combo. The chicken was crispy and juicy, not dry. Clams were on the small side. The pumpkin with fried salted egg yolk could be crisper and better batter. All the food overall is really good. The AC was on and cold enough instead of being stuffy. Area of Improvement is the staff. I asked for a fork and spoon for my kids and it took more than 3 times...all differently waiters. For the crab, no utensil shell cracker was provided or wet towels. No desserts like red bean was provided or oranges even after ordering live seafood (crab). Overall I'll come again for easy free parking and the good and tasty quality of food read more

I really like happy together, despite the long wait times. I guess that's how you know if a spot is really popping or not. They do really have some of the best churng fun's out here in the 626, and their crispy noodles with that gravy is pretty legit. This time around, I was able to get a picture of their amazing coconut chicken. Come early or come late, but come on time, you'll have to wait lol. Parking also get pretty packed, but i always just park on the street and walk. read more

I brought my family here on Christmas day and it was not too busy. They asked if we had a reservation but still got seated right away. Parking wasn't too bad. I came before on a weekend and ended up just leaving because it was about an hour wait while a friend was circling looking for parking. We just ended up going somewhere else to eat. The service was so-so, they were more focused on the bigger parties. We had to flag them down to get service. We couldn't even ask for hot sauce. They kept asking us to wait. The food overall was pretty good. No complaints there. This place might be ideal to host big groups though since this place seems to cater to them more. Overall, it was a decent experience but I probably wouldn't choose to come here again. read more

We were invited to our friend's birthday dinner. Many of our friends in SGV have always said this place was really good. We never had the chance to try it until today. Here's what we ordered: 01. Crab Meat & Fish Maw Soup $22.88 - 2 Stars - I tasted NOTHING but bland soup. It should be collagen-rich, have a silky texture with a deep umami flavor, but it only had a silky texture. And the color of this sour was so white. Not a fan. 02. Diced String Beans w/ Shredded Meat & Veggies - $16.88 - 3 Stars - I've never had the string beans cut up into small pieces like we had it here. It was decent but a little bland. It looked tastier than it was. Needs more seasoning, it could've been better. 03. Beef Chow Fun $16.88 - 4 Stars - So far was the best item that came out. Classic flavors that we all expect from Beef Chow Fun, savory with a bit of smoky flavor for stir-frying on the hot wok. We all liked this one. 04. Roasted Pork $18.88 - 1 Star - The skin was not crispy at all. All of us were not able to bite through the skin, that was how chewy it was. We had to let our waiter know as this is one of their signature dishes. Our friends confirmed that this was the worst they have tasted from all of their visits. Meat was chewy and a bit too oily for us. 05. Walnut Shrimp $22.88 - 2 Stars - The portion on only half of the plate. Our friends even mentioned that this is not their typical portion sizes. This dish should be sweet, savory, and creamy, with a contrasting crunchy texture. The Mayo/Honey or Mayo/Condensed Mike ratio was different here. The coating of the sauce was sticky and thick. The Shrimp was not crunchy but soggy. I don't think it's half to charge full price for half a portion. Super disappointing. 06. Stir Fried Clams w/ Basil and Veggies $21.88 - 2 Stars - Barely any hint of Basil (we could hardly find any in the dish). This is usually one we all love but it was just flavorless. Can you see the sauce in the photo? We couldn't either. 07. Bullfrog w/ Hot & Spicy Sauce $23.88 - 2 Stars - I'm NOT a fan. I know frogs are small in size but the pieces were so small that we couldn't tell if it was crispy batter vs. Bullfrog. This was not our group's fave. I looked peppery, but it was bland. This dish usually has a kick from the black pepper, not here. 08. Seafood Tofu Casserole $19.88 - 3 Stars - This was meh. The silken-tofu was super soft and the sauce was umami, which we enjoyed. Simple and comforting in taste and texture. 09. Braised Eggplant w/ Minced Meat $16.88 - 3 Stars - This is one of my fave dishes at any Chinese restaurants. I love it's savory, slightly spicy, and aromatic sauce that perfectly coats the tender eggplant and thinly sliced pork. We enjoyed this one most out of the rest. 10. Steamed Chicken (half order) $23.88 - 4 Stars - This was our 2nd fave item from our dinner. The Chicken was tender, juicy and perfectly poached. The ginger/scallion sauce was savory and tasty. Chicken had little meat ratio but enough for us to enjoy. Definitely recommend this dish if you dine there. 11. French Style Beef Steak $22.88 - 3 Stars - This dish reminds me of the Vietnamese Shaken Beef, except that the steak wasn't as tasty. In the menu photo you don't see mushrooms, just meat. When we got this dish, there were a lot of mushrooms. The steak was tender but didn't have as much flavor as you'd think looking at all the pepper on it. It was just ok. LOCATION/PARKING - It's connected to a Holiday Inn, parking is a bit tough if the hotel is filled with guests. CUSTOMER SERVICE - They are friendly but depending what you ask or and who you ask, you might get a little attitude. You don't get the same waiter/waitress, they rotate from table to table. VERDICT - Would we come back? I would not for the quality of the dishes we ordered. I think we tried one item from each category and I'm not a fan. Tasteless Chinese food is a "NO" for us. Prices are a little more than other restaurants but the taste was just not good. My friends agreed that it has changed so much from all the times they dined there. We wonder if they changed chefs. How can the taste be so different from all the times they have visited? Maybe Dim Sum is better but I'm not willing to drive to try it. read more

So much deliciousness, especially at dinner. They're known for their dim sum, but we enjoy the Cantonese food here dinners. You can't go wrong with either style chicken and we can always order a winter melon soup, which can be hard to find these days. Service is always great, and it's never really busy at dinner. The feel is very classic Canto banquet restaurant and not hotel restaurant. read more

Terrible service -- left after 15 minutes without finishing our meal. The chicken wings were undercooked. We asked for two separate sauce dishes (there were 2 of us) but were given only one and told we'd get a second "once we finished" it. When we asked for a clean plate to portion food onto (one of us had a cold), we were handed a dirty sauce dish still covered in chili flakes. When we asked again for a new one, the server -- an older man wearing glasses -- made faces and muttered rudely in Chinese, knowing we didn't understand. He kept glaring at us and acting hostile the entire time. Genuinely ruined our day. Would not recommend eating here if this man is your server. read more

Had our wedding reception here! Worked with Jessica the manager and she was wonderful. We got a ton of compliments on the food which was a set meal but we got to swap in certain dishes we requested (I.e adding in Ablaone and Sea Cucumber or upgrading our lobster). The venue is honestly very nice for an Asian banquet styled wedding, as it already comes equipped with curtains on the wall, lighting, sound system, and a dance floor. They were also able to accommodate us on such short notice as we had only decided to book a little over a month before. We were able book out the whole restaurant with around 12 tables. Price was very reasonable, and you only need to pay for food by table --- no venue or corkage fee. This restaurant is attached to the holiday inn but lots of parking in the front. read more

Come early or be ready to wait! We came on a Saturday at 10:07am and barely got seated since people were waiting since before they opened at 10am. Food was so delicious! In particular, their cheung fun is phenomenal... super thin and full of ribbons, not the thick layers that most places have. We unexpectedly found out that they had a promo BOGO on Steamed Ginger Chicken and Soy Sauce Chicken. If you order half a chicken, they'll serve you the whole chicken. For four people, we ordered 7 dim sum items and 1 steamed chicken (half), it came out to $100 including tax and tip. We had leftover chicken! That's a great price for delicious dim sum and good service. Although, I hate when dim sum places charge for tea per person nowadays (it's $2.50/pp). Of the many, many dim sum options around the SGV area, this is my current favorite for their BBQ meats quality and superior cheung fun. read more

Very good experience!!! Excellent services with very fresh and delicious food. No wonder there are so many people waiting in line even on a Monday. But the line goes pretty fast. The restaurant is nice and new. The problem is the hotel staffs, the hotel Frontdesk and security refused to let the restaurant customers waiting at the hotel lobby, even they are not busy. I feel that it is very unnecessary to ask people to wait outside, even when the hotel have no customers. Five stars for Happy together!!! read more

Be sure to arrive early before 10am when it opens bc there will be a long line. Your entire party has to be there before you can be seated. We chose a table by the corner hoping it'll be quieter, but it wasn't. Food was delicious! We had ha gow, sui mai, Chinese broccoli- gai lan, coconut chicken, beef chow fun and deep fried shrimp balls. Great service! Free parking on the lot.

Came back for a hug Sunday dinner with the family. Parking is still packed but we were able to find a spot. Inside it wasn't really busy and for a group of 12 they only have one round table and I'm glad it accommodated us! This time our uncle went all out and preordered a whole roasted piglet for us to take photos and then the staff will chop it up to serve. Same with the coconut chicken. We had a lot of dishes that were super delicious and came one by one: Roasted pork, crispy skin and great with hoisin sauce provided. Coconut chicken, crispy coconut flavored skin and salt on the side since the inside meat is a bit bland. Roasted duck was great, some of the skin was a bit chewy. Kung pao chicken was actually sweeter this time with a hint of spicy. The pumpkin fish is new, haven't heard of it before and can't seem to find it in the menu. The dish was a fried fish smothered in a pumpkin puree but we didn't really like the fish as it was too fishy but the pumpkin puree was really good. Sometimes it took us a while to get staffs attention for water, rice, and tea so we had to flag anyone we can to ask. Since it's part of the holiday inn, restrooms are in the hotel lobby and unfortunately a few stalls were missing toilet paper and one stall was out of order! The staff helped pack our food to go and even cut the pork head in pieces because there's still plenty of meat on it! Very satisfied and would come again. read more

Kind of a random location for this place underneath what could be apartment buildings? Was bustling when I got in, but they seat us right away. Clientele looked very authentic, so I had extremely high hopes for our meal. No carts at the dim sum just order off the menu. A lot of things are priced $5.88 or $6.88. The duck is a big one but it's $18.99. Also ordered a soy sauce chow mein that was $15.88. Ordered the shrimp dumplings, which are Har gow. The rice paper looks a little thicker than we usually have but my daughter said it tasted good. She ate every single one so I can't give you a fair evaluation. Sesame balls were delicious. Very crispy on the outside and nice and gooey on the inside. 10/10 The pork and shrimp shumai was fine. They were very hot, which was great, but the flavor was so so. The duck was big and gorgeous on the outside. Served in a warming dish, which was nice although it didn't feel very hot. We prefer a lot of breast meat and I know most people don't so for us. It was kind of a lot of waste because so much of it was just skin and my kid will eat the skin. But the breast meat that was there was good. The soy sauce chow mein was the biggest disappointment. The noodles tasted like... I'm not even sure how to describe it. Almost like a buckwheat noodle that wants to disintegrate. Didn't have the right texture at all. And only two onions on it. I like it when there's a lot of green onion. I didn't finish the dish nor would I ordered it again. Also got the pork and shrimp chili wontons. They had a little bit of a fishy taste and the chili sauce really just tasted like oil. There wasn't a lot of spice. If you're hoping for Din Tai Fung, this is not it. Overall, this place was fine because my kids were craving dim sum and our normal place is closed undergo renovations. But I wouldn't drive back to come here again. Too expensive and food wasn't good enough to justify. read more

Happy Together - Shrimp Noodle Roll - Dim Sum Near Me - El Monte, California

After coming here for the past two years, I'm sad to write this review conclusion: there are more superior dim sum places than this place and don't recommend it their dim sum. My recent outing to Happy Together left a bad taste in mouth. Not only was the dim sum tasted mediocre, but they now charge you for hot water at $1.50 per person. On small print on a paper menu, it says, "bring your own tea/hot water". Talk about nickel and diming you. Our service was non-existent except to set our food down and take the bill, but other than that, we had no other dining service. Not even a refill of ice water after we requested for it. I just don't know about this place anymore. This place is always bustling with a considerable wait time and appears really popular among the Chinese older folks who can be seen waiting outside with their friends or leaving the restaurant with their squad . So one would come to believe the restaurant's quality, but after my recent dine-in experience and a takeout experience, both which lacked quality, I wonder if I'm the one that's off my rocker. read more

Big uncle took us out to eat for dinner, He went all out ordered the whole piglet, coconut chicken, and two ducks I've been here before and honestly the service staff got way better, from the basic water/tea refill to replacing fallen chop sticks. The plates came out pretty fast too, uncle told the food runner that we like to take pictures of the food so after the piglet was cooked they propped it up set up the lazy Susan for glamour shots. After we were done they took it to the back to chop it up and brought it right back out Beware parking is usually terrible read more

Delicious dim sum. Service is good dining in and take out. We ordered a lot of take out today for my grandmas bday who no longer feels comfortable to go out. My sister ordered via phone. Take out counter is to the back left of the restaurant. Everything was ready when I arrived. Can't wait to come back. read more

I'm mixed on this place. Sometimes it really hits, and other times it misses a bit. I've only been here for dinner so far, but I've heard the dim sum is pretty good and I want to come back to try it. The dinner specials are a good deal and the food is decent from a Cantonese standpoint. When it misses though, the food feels too salty or not cooked quite right. The chicken side of the restaurant was consistent both times I went, which helped. Service: Pretty attentive, though both visits were during slower times Food/Drinks: Good-value dinner specials, decent Cantonese dishes, inconsistent execution at times, chicken side was more reliable Ambiance: Standard Cantonese restaurant vibe. Giving it a 3 because you know we look for 3s for Chinese restaurants. 7/10 Good value and potential here, but consistency is the main issue read more

My third time here and still very much amazed by their high quality food. Here I recommend their two popular dishes: 1. Roasted duck 2. Coconut Crispy Chicken Flavorful, crispy and very tender!! The BEST you could have asked for. They are located inside the Holiday Inn in El Monte. Very friendly service even though the crowd was super heavy. Since they are inside the Holiday Inn, they have a very spacious dining area, clean and welcoming atmosphere. The wait time is a bit long but very worthwhile for coming!! read more
