    Yummy and fair priced. Dimsum starts at 5.88 and portions are good. Chicken feet, pan fried turnip, pineapple bun, tripe, beef ball noodle with beef. We will definitely be back when we are in the 626 area. We came on a week day lunch and place was packed. Service was good.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Beef chow fun was delicious

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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. I made a reservation a week in advance and good thing I did. Looked quite pack during dinner time. Easy parking. Saw they have dim sum in the morning. Will be back to try dim sum next time.

    Amaya P.

    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

    steamed ginger chicken was buy one half, get one half free!

    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.

    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.

During the day they serve dim sum, and at night they switch over to Cantonese seafood dishes. I've eaten here many times for dim sum. They offer both traditional sit down service and a takeout counter in the front if you're in a hurry. The dim sum is solid and definitely hits the spot. Since I live nearby, it's one of those convenient spots I find myself coming back to. This visit was for dinner. We ordered a fish dish that was pretty interesting (honestly not sure what the exact name was), an oyster omelet, and clams with basil. Everything was tasty and definitely made me go through a couple bowls of rice. One thing I always appreciate is that they still give complimentary dessert at the end of the meal. We got green bean soup and some ma lai gao, which was a nice way to finish dinner. Overall, Ocean Bo is one of those neighborhood gems that has stood the test of time. It may not be the trendiest restaurant around, but it's reliable, serves good Cantonese food, and keeps the locals coming back.

Walked away when we were trying to ask her something. Even if she didn't speak English, it's kind to say no English or I find you someone. We did the AYCE menu since it's a no brainer.

    Not the first time but very satisfied for our most recent visit here…read more It's been a while since we last ate here and we had family dinner as a party of 10, so we were given a private room with 3 hot pots. We had beef, lamb, and pork slices for hotpot which we ordered 5 each per order. We had two pots original and one spicy. The meat slices were very thin so cooking time wasn't long and we paired it with various sauces, so if you make a good sauce it'll be even better. The buffet selection definitely changed, there's more hot foods and they no longer have mini sausages. I do enjoy their char siu and their varieties. Staff were pretty attentive with making sure our tables are cleared and if we need more meat. Since we were in a private room, they still came by to check on us. Overall, I did enjoy this place and would come again! I think not everyone liked how thin the meat was sliced but I'm fine with it. Ice creams costs money as well.

    I'm deeply disappointed with the decline in cleanliness and overall quality of this establishment…read moreover the years. What was once a delightful place to visit has steadily deteriorated, and my recent visit was the final straw. As someone who has worked in food service, I understand the significance of proper sanitation and food safety practices. What I witnessed was truly disturbing. Employees were wearing the same pair of gloves while performing various unrelated tasks without changing them. I observed staff handling dirty items, picking up debris from the floor, pushing dirty carts, touching shared surfaces, using their phones, and even making physical contact with one another all the while continuing to wear the same gloves when handling customer items. Gloves are designed to prevent contamination, not spread it. Wearing the same contaminated gloves throughout an entire shift defeats their purpose and creates serious cross-contamination. There seemed to be a complete lack of awareness of basic food safety standards. The dining area was equally disappointing. The menus were visibly greasy and oily, as if they hadn't been cleaned in ages. During slower periods, most restaurants take the opportunity to wipe down menus, sanitize surfaces, and maintain cleanliness throughout the establishment. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case here. The salad bar was in a state of disarray. Ingredients were scattered, vegetables were mixed into the wrong containers, and food was spilling over the sides. The entire area looked neglected and unorganized. Instead of appearing fresh and inviting, it looked messy and unsanitary. To add insult to injury, much of the dishware appeared dirty. Plates, bowls, and utensils had oily residue and didn't look properly cleaned before being put back into service. There's nothing more unsettling than wondering whether the dishes you're eating from are actually clean. Dining out should be a pleasant experience, but this establishment fell short on multiple fronts. The lack of sanitation practices, visible cross-contamination, dirty menus, messy food stations, and unclean dishware left me feeling disgusted rather than satisfied. Given this disappointing experience, I won't be returning. It's disheartening to witness such a noticeable decline in standards, and I hope management takes these concerns seriously to prevent any potential health risks.

    给你一个自然一点、像真实Yelp用户写的版本:…read more The crab soup dumplings were amazing! You could actually see a generous amount of crab meat inside, with thin wrappers, juicy filling, and lots of flavorful broth. Easily one of the best xiao long bao I've had. The pan-fried pork & chive dumplings were also a standout. Crispy golden bottoms, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. Paired with the hot and sour soup, it was such a satisfying meal. We also enjoyed the black pepper beef cubes, dan dan noodles, and spicy wontons. Everything was delicious and we'll definitely be back!

    [Food] - Cucumber Salad ($6.95): Love this! I always order…read morethis everywhere I can get it as it's super crunchy! The acidity and chili oil makes this such an addictive combo. - Wood Ear Mushroom w/ Vinegar Dressing ($6.95): Yum! A great side as a palate cleanser. - Shanghai Braised Pork Belly ($18.95): Very tender and fatty. - Lobster & Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao (6/$19.99): Delicious! The skin is thin and the meat is juicy with delectable soup! Not the best I've had especially taking the price into account, but I'd still say it's a good choice for XLB. - Dan Dan Noodles w/ Sesame Sauce & Minced Pork ($12.95): My friends all thought this was decent. For me personally it was a bit overly nutty. [Service] - Fast, helpful, attentive [Ambiance] - Decent amount of tables - Can watch them make dumplings through the glass [Overall] - I don't live around this area but I wouldn't mind coming back next time I'm in the area.. unless my friends suggest otherwise
