Hidden gem for authentic Cantonese breakfast in Bridgeport!…read moreIt's a tiny spot that's super popular with the Chinese community, but barely any outsiders know about it. Definitely not fine dining, but perfect if you want real, traditional comfort food. I come here all the time for their rice noodle rolls (chang fen) and little wontons. The flavors are always spot-on and the prices are incredibly low. They also have great stir-fried rice noodles and chow mein. Highly recommend if you want a cheap, genuine breakfast!

This place is a small corner restaurant in a residential area and offers dim sum and some other…read moredishes (see menu).   It's locally popular and you will need to find street parking which is not a biggie around this location.  We tried it for dim sum carryout on this inaugural visit.  Apparently there was new ownership 6 years ago and almost all the reviews except for the last 5 reviews (not counting this one) are older than that so they probably could use a whole new Yelp website.  It probably won't happen, so this is likely your only heads-up and I have updated what Yelp site info I could.   As far as our carryout, we came around noon on a Monday, and had a 20 minute wait for our order. It's probably best to call ahead if you're doing carryout.  There were some other carryout orders and the 10 table restaurant was busy. With the wait comes dim sum that is piping hot fresh though.  We ordered siu mai, har gow, beef crepes, and pork offal crepes.  Overall, it's very good, and prices are competitive with other Chinatown carryout options.  The har gow was on the smallish size though.  It was good to try, but from this visit, we'll probably opt to stick with our fav Chiu Quon for carryout as there is typically not much of a wait there and you get a tad bit bigger dim sum for the same price.

Breakfast at Happy Cafe!…read more Our breakfast at Happy Cafe wasan enjoyable start to the day, featuring comforting dishes that satisfied our cravings. We opted for the savory Beef Noodle and the flavorful BBQ Pork Cheung Fun. Food: 4/5 The Beef Noodle offered a comforting blend of tender beef and flavorful broth, while the BBQ Pork Rice Cheung Fun provided combination of textures and tastes. Service: 4/5 There is only one lady serving in the restaurant, however, the food came up within a reasonable time. Ambiance:3/5 The ambiance of Happy Cafe is clean, similar to other cafe in china town Price: 4/5 With reasonable prices, our breakfast at Happy Cafe offered great value for the quality and portion sizes of the dishes. ,Happy Cafe is a go-to spot for a comforting morning meal. We look forward to returning for more another breakfast

The portions are very large so definitely come with friends so you can try lots of different dishes.

This place is one of the OG places in Chinatown iykyk so it's not gonna be your typical restaurant standard, but enough for you to sit down and enjoy your meal.

The fuzhou style wontons came with a nice clear broth that tasted even more elevated with the vinegar at the table. Came with at least 15 tiny pork wontons wrapped in a superrr thin rice paper. Ban mian was the star - I'm biased cuz I love peanut butter noodles in general, but this was so peanutty yet not heavy at all! It comes unmixed so you have to mix the sauce in yourself. Pro tip: if you add some siracha, it's absolutely delicious!!

We returned here to one of our favorite big Chinatown restaurants with quite decent food and with…read morethe greatest convenience with their close-by and free parking and easy highway access. Most of our numerous past visits here have either been for dim sum or for a big wedding banquet. On this Saturday evening, our party of 8 enjoyed dinner on the first weekend after the Lunar New Year's Day. We had their set menu B for 8-10 people and for $468 pre-tax and pre-tip. Every one of the 8 courses was tip top excellent and delicious and we had plenty of leftovers as well. If interested, you can check the menu and food photos for the individual courses. The big restaurant was pretty busy and boisterous with two large groups, but our food came out readily and piping hot and fresh. Our servers were also good and attentive. I'll go with a 4 star rating with the only knock that the given menu was on the pricey side but also ok with us.

We got the five spice duck, soft shell crab, pea tip with garlic, clams, and stir fried pork belly.

Cash discount is available. So good, I highly recommend giving this spot a try!

My mom and I used to come here for years to pick up some quick dim sum because it was always so…read morebusy. We couldn't find a seat but recently I think it's gone downhill. We walked in Monday early evening, and it was a Ghost Town. Only one person came in after us. We ordered dim sum, and we saw that two items were added to our order that we never ordered. They were potstickers and a Chinese sausage rice. We have potstickers and Chinese sausage at home a lot so we don't go out to buy it. We tend to pick items we can't make at home for dim sum like shrimp dumplings are harder to make at home than a potsticker. The rice came with the Chinese sausage was very old like dry and a little soggy at the same time. I also have never had spare ribs like they did. There was a lack of black bean taste. The turnip cakes were soggy which is weird because you need to pan fry them and it was clear there was some frying but the inside was super goopy. Turnip cake can be a little goopy but mostly it had more integrity than what we got. The only good things we had were the fried shrimp rolls and the pumpkin rolls. The stuff that was deep-fried. And I noticed that one item I did order ended up not being added to our check so we were never given that. I don't think I can come back here for dim sum anymore. it was a $46 meal of sad items. Not worth the price. Maybe we'd come for entrées. Someone got fried rice and noodles and those looked decent but I wasn't able to see up close.

It has a lot of history and baggage and manners baked into it. We went for dinner (although they do serve dim sum during the daytimes). It is a standard menu (multiple variations for beef, chicken, seafood, veg, etc). The food is familiar but a little bit "brighter" than the usual takeout places that dot along the strip malls. We had the typical beef spareribs, General Tso's chicken, honey walnut shrimp... but we also had an off-menu eel dish. Secrets! But what separates this place is that this is where the locals end up eating (we saw plenty that evening). Maybe it's the familiarity or the lack of tourism marketing. It's not exactly traditional, but is not exactly high-concept-fusion. Just a place where the locals meet up when they don't to cook in.

Affordable Spot with a Huge Selection of Food…read more I stopped by Yep Kitchen in the evening for a quick dinner. The service was fast, and the prices were very reasonable.
