    Just discovered this restaurant while waiting for a table at Top Island for dim sum which had a long waiting list. We decided to eat here instead. Outdoor dining is available on the sidewalk. Capacity is limited, only around 6 tables. I was surprised by how good the food was here. Especially the meat ball congee, reminded me of the good food in Hong Kong. The texture and the flavor were very close to those in Hong Kong. Highly recommend this dish. Another good one was their BBQ pork rice noodle. According to the restaurant, the noodles are all hand made. The result was a great noodle dish with a very soft texture but not gooey. We also ordered the string bean with black bean sauce and minced pork. I normally use how well this dish is done to rank the Chinese restaurants. Happy Harbor did a good job on this one. It’s pretty tasty or a lot “Wok Hei” . The prices here are a bit more expensive than the next door dim sum place. But the portions are big and much more flavorful. Overall, I am impressed with their food and will definitely come back for more.

    Fantastic lunch with family. A wide variety of authentic Hong Kong style food. They have a table for a large group.

    Came to the restaurant to buy roast duck on a holiday. When we arrived it was busy and there are two people working on the BBQ table. We wanted to buy a half duck and one of the person working at the BBQ table who looks like the manager tell us to take the box already cut. We declined because the kitchen just replenish more ducks therefore we decided to get a whole duck instead. The manager looks very unhappy and immediately grab a duck and start chopping without let us to see it first. When we opened the take out box to eat at home we found out the duck is missing the both wings and the breast. This is the first time we buy a whole roast duck with missing parts. The manager who chopped our ducks has very rude attitude. This is not the way to serve the customers. We are very disappointed and warned everyone to look twice on your take out BBQ to make sure you get what you paid for. No wonder the service at this place has gone downhill a lot. Buyers beware!!!

    Well priced, tasty Chinese food! We were brought to this place by Alhambra locals, and I have no complaints about the food or service. The fried tofu was delicious and soft, the fish and fried pork were well seasoned and cooked, and the texture of the rice porridge (congee) was surprisingly pleasant though the dish itself was very simple - just green onions and some pieces of meat. I'd definitely come back here next time I'm in the area and craving authentic Chinese food. 6 adults + 2 kids were well fed and the bill was only ~$100.

    Good Authentic Chinese Food, reasonable price. Congee, wonton noodle soups, roast pork, roast duck and stir fried dishes are all delicious.

    Horrible experience. The customer service was horrible, and they committed fraud. We ordered the lunch special, and we tipped them 10% despite their horrible attitude, but they made it 30% themselves. Literal fraud. Other than that, when we got the order there was something missing (not going to be specific); so when we told them that there was something missing, they replied that you needed to add money for it, though for other people they didn’t add money and still got it. Overall, quite the bad service. 0/10, not recommended.

    Ate here 11:30 am Fri/8 July. Huge portions, tasty food, nice staff. For the fried rice plates my brother and i preferred the shrimp-bbq pork one but our mom preferred the salted fish one.

    Tasty food , quick service , huge portion, lots of options. Came here with family for a quick last minute lunch and we were not disappointed. Ordered a fried rice dish and the eggplant pork in stone pot. Both were full of flavor and came out piping hot. Would definitely come here again.

    Best bbq pork, roasted pork, roasted duck, chicken ever - specials after 3pm for $7.99 for 2 items bbq with rice and .99 for iced tea or coffee. Plenty of parking. Service is quite fast. Kid friendly.

    Food is quite authentic Cantonese and tasty. Prices are reasonable. Only reason why I don't give it 4 stars is because the waiters and waitresses are not exceptional, they are polite and efficient though.

    All service is good but because the way they pack my food is not properly good and safe. So the broth is come out of the container Styrofoam. Why dont put on plastic container for food that contain thick soup so its will not come out. Sorry the food us good but the way of packaging is not good. No 5 stars only 1 star for this restaurant. Its meshing becquse its dripping in my car.

    Great service. Bit pricey. Ordered B1 which to me tastes like a donut without the sugar. I put some condessed milk on it and the flavor was like a glazed donut. The main dish we ordered was the two item crystal noodles in pork base with bbq pork and chicken. The flavor reminds me of pho but with vermicelli noodles. Overall good and the servers were nice and respectful. I always see this place busy but came after the dim sum hours. I would come back again just to try the other dishes.

    Nice and convenient location for authentic HK style Chinese food. Also ran into a friend there, so that tells you that place is popular.

    This review is for their afternoon tea menu only. Good food quality and value. Authentic taste of Hong Kong style wonton noodles.
