    Bo lo bao
    Vera L.

    Came here for dimsum in the past, but this recent visit was for an evening meal. It was a larger party, so we had a private room next to the restroom hallways. The food was decent and fortunately not too salty. Loved that they provide bo lo baos during the evening after our meal, along with red bean with a sesame tong yuan dessert to end our meal. Everything was very fresh, including the lobster and fish. There's plenty of options to choose from on the menu, so there's something for everyone.

    食物是很好吃, 廚房師傅值得讚賞的. 我過去一個月早上飲茶的時候, 發覺他們的servers 工作態度越來越差, 他們經過時叫也不理會我們, 希望可以改善及他們的管理層可以看到評論.

    My friend wanted to come here, so I said why not. It's definitely a classic spot. I didn't see any carts, but as long as the food is good, I don't mind. The place was pretty busy. We ordered quite a few dishes that I haven't seen at other dim sum spots before, which was a nice surprise. The food was definitely good, but the overall wait time wasn't great. We were seated pretty quickly and didn't have to wait long for a table, but the ordering wait time was terrible. It was hard to flag someone down to take our order. I think we spent the majority of the time just waiting for someone to take our paper, and it was frustrating because they would say, "Oh, I'll be back," but then never came back. At one point, one of our dishes was also forgotten, and we had to ask about it several times... so there was that. Overall, the food was good, but the wait time and organization of the service could definitely be improved.

    This review is for hosting a WEDDING banquet at Happy Harbor in Rowland Heights. I helped plan a wedding here. I have to say it was tough at first because they do not have a designated event coordinator. There was a lot of back and forth. What was really helpful was the main guy spoke English, Cantonese, and Mandarin! Ultimately you need the wedding date and the number of guests. You choose the menu, napkin color, and table cloth color. Extras: They had two microphones with stands and a small stage for the sweetheart table. The audio system only reached the main room. There was a big screen in the main room to play a slideshow. The backroom seemed to have their own audio and two screens. We could not figure out how to connect the two, so the guests in the back room had to come out to the main room to see/hear what was going on. -The lobby is large. Good to set up welcome table. -There is a small private room behind the fish tanks. This was where vendors took their breaks. The wedding I helped plan had just under 280 guests, so they took up the main room (20 tables) as well as the back room (7 tables). Some tables had 11 seats but same amount of food. Because of the number of tables, there was no dance floor. I heard compliments from many guests that the servers were efficient and helpful. They served wine properly. Overall I would recommend Happy Harbor for a large event. Side note: Happy Harbor gave us a contact of a guy who did white seat covers with ribbons. That guy only had a two-person team and did not finish all 270 seats. In fact he stopped just under 20 tables and did not get any in the back room at all. He also set up with the spandex seat covers, which is not what the bride wanted.

    Classic Chinese seafood restaurant with lazy Susan tables and endless menu. The interior of the restaurant is huge with many tables, yet always seems to be packed. Service here is also classic Chinese seafood restaurant - but I come for the food. All dishes are tasty and authentic here. A bit pricey, but worth it!

    Happy Harbor's Steamed BBQ Pork Bao, Bean Curd Rolls with Seafood in Oyster Sauce, Turnip Cake with Dried Scallops in Supreme Broth, Chicken Feet in Abalone Sauce, and Jumbo Shrimp HarGow were delicious.

    Revisited one of the first few restaurants I came to when I first met my husband for dim sum and it was a better experience than the first time. Dim sum was ordered on paper and they bring out the dishes you ordered rather than the pushing carts, which I don't see as often anymore anywhere. They were busy , but we were able to get help whenever we flagged them down. The vibe was busy noisy Asian dim sum mornings which is familiar for Asians. It was spacious with the high ceilings but the tables were packed together. It's in the 99 ranch plaza so we walked around afterwards before needing the bathroom. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot Food was good but haven't found the most amazing dim sum yet. But we will be back

    This is usually the go to dim sum spot for my family and I. It's always busy but it's also super quick, I think the longest I've waited has been up to 15-20 minutes. Inside is quite spacious and there is plenty of staffs with decent customer service. Now let's talk about the food. They have a moderate amount of options for dim sum. It is also not cart service, although, they do carry out trays for you to get sometimes. The food could be a hit or a miss and I still think their shiu mai there is still one of my top choice. The turnip cake is served in a broth based rather than fried. The rice wraps could be a tad better since the ingredients does tend to fall out easily. Otherwise, they are able to host wedding, events, and birthday parties if needed.

    Located just next to the 99 Ranch in Rowland Heights, I've been told that Happy Harbor is the main destination for those in the area looking for some dim sum. And whenever I pass by to grab groceries, there always is a line early in the morning even until late afternoon. So with a curious stomach, I stopped by on a Sunday around 12PM. First thing first, big mistake. When I arrived, there was a large crowd waiting outside. And after taking a number from the host, I waited for about an hour to an hour and a half before I was seated. If looking to come here, definitely come early! Looking at the different dishes, the price ranges from about 5 dollars for a small, 6 dollars for a medium, and 7 dollars for a large. Compared to other restaurants in the Greater Los Angeles area, the price is on the lower end and is better from a price to portion standpoint. In other words, it explains why so many people were in line to eat here. But taste-wise, the food was only mediocre. This definitely won't be the best dim sum you've ever had, but it certainly won't be the worst. Looking at some of the dishes I had, I enjoyed the beef tripe and spareribs as they both were rich with flavor and had lot of juicy parts to them. But for most of the items like the tofu skin rolls, siu mai, shrimp rice rolls, and beef rice rolls, the taste was mostly surface level. Texture-wise, they all tasted as one would expect. But there wasn't really any part that screamed WOW. These comments were pretty consistent with most of the items here: good stand-alone meat items, but only okay general items. Looking back on my experience here, I suppose one cannot complain about the price and what you're getting. After all, the amount of people waiting here definitely indicates that there is good food to be had. But with the only okay taste and generally neutral flavors, I'd give Happy Harbor a 3 star rating. If you're looking to have dim sum in the Rowland Heights area, this might be the best around. But if you're looking for the best dim sum? Best to find somewhere else!

    Always packed, fast service, but too expensive for what the food is. The shrimp was the highlight of the meal, chicken cartilage was a let down flavor wise, and the soup and noodles were very average. Fish was very fresh, you get to pick your fish so the meat is very firm and soft.

    Turnip cake and Steam Fish Ball

    First time to try this restaurant while we were in Rowland Heights. Wanted to compare the food with most dim sum in San Gabriel valley. I feel they're pretty good. Prices are very reasonable too. Quality is better than average.

    Went for CNY 2026 dinner. The place is filthy. Chairs are sticky, artwork is ripped, carpet is nasty. The Punchoi had duck feet in it! Not a recipe I would use. Paid a fortune and it was blah. Never again!!! The servers were good, the restaurant is not.

Turns out, not much, but I'll remain unbiased in the review as nobody cares. Nor should they. All the items are pretty standard but done well. The ordering process is not the regular dim sum cart shopping style but ordering it all ahead of time then waiting for a short minute for the food to be brought to your table. Turnip cake is well made with nice little chunks of meat and dried shrimp. Chicken feet are cooked properly and marinated to a beautiful orange fermented bean sauce. The lotus sticky rice was good with little bits of meat throughout. But missing more notes of peanuts and the pork bun was the highlight of the savory dishes for me. The bread was well made and the pork was nice and shredded. Nothing too greasy with just a tiny bit of sweet as the top glaze. But their HK pineapple bun was the best out of them all. It takes a little time for the buns to be ready but so worth the wait and just in time for after you devour all your savory dishes to get this incredibly satisfying custard filling and fluffy crusty bread. Not too pricey for what you get. But the tea are all in teabag form, not tea leaves nor tea pots. Well decorated interior and polite waitstaff though!

This place is better, the red bean is there and sweetness is still strong but the flavor is decent (tastes much better than other places). Overall, better rating than dim sum.

    Wonde Harbor...if this shows one star, it's only because I can't give less…read more Friday night. Six people. Seated at 7:00 PM, order placed by 7:19 according to their own record -- we ordered six dishes. By 8:35 PM -- over an hour later -- exactly two dishes had appeared on our table. People who walked in at the same time as us had already finished and left. People who came in a full hour after us had tables piled with food. We still had two dishes out of six. Through all of it, I waited patiently. I understand restaurants get busy. I kept checking in, politely, repeatedly. They sent over several different staff members, each assuring me they'd go check on our food. Nothing ever happened. Finally, at 8:45 PM, a third dish arrived -- and the pork was spoiled. That was the moment I lost it. We didn't even finish. We paid and left. Walked out at 9:00 PM with everyone still hungry, not to mention I had a three-year-old child with me. This was the worst, worst, WORST dining experience of my life.

    I visited this restaurant twice before its permanent closure on April 15, 2026. Some dishes were…read moreexcellent, while others were just average. Szechwan DanDan Dry Noodles w/ Peanuts: Excellent. It was a bowl of dry noodles topped with green onions, crushed peanuts, and sesame sauce. It tasted like an upgraded version of sesame noodles with a better texture. Ding's Special Cold Plate: Excellent. This signature appetizer platter was one of the restaurant's best. It included five items: dried tofu, seaweed, pig ear, beef tripe, and spicy beef shank. Fried Pork Chop + Green Mustard Fried Rice + Spiced Eggs: A must-order. The fried rice had great "wok hei" (breath of the wok). The fried pork chop, which had a bit of fat, was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The juiciness and the texture of the melted fat were perfectly handled without being greasy. Shanghai Sesame Fermented Rice Dumpling Soup: A must-order. The portion was huge and enough for four people. It used mini tangyuan (rice balls) with sesame filling, and the combination of osmanthus powder, fermented rice, and egg drop was excellent. Also, it wasn't overly thickened with starch like at other restaurants. Soybean with Bean Curd Leaves: Very good. The moisture was reduced to just the right level, and the flavor was as satisfying as a meat dish. In addition, unlike the cold appetizers served elsewhere, this one was served hot. Braised Pork Belly: Good. It came with two translucent-looking spiced eggs and four pieces of pork belly. The sweet sauce was well-absorbed, and the meat was stewed until it was quite tender with almost no "porky" smell. Overall, it was a good dish, but the version at Blue Magpie in Arcadia is even better. The following dishes were good but not must-tries: Pan-Fried Dumplings, Steamed Dumplings, Stir-fried Rice Cakes, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Shrimp & Pork Wonton Soup, Fish Fillets in Rice Wine Sauce, and Stir-fried Spinach with Garlic. Steamed Stinky Tofu: Highly not recommended! Is this even Jiangzhe cuisine? It tasted more like Sichuan-style poached stinky tofu. It was way too salty, so much so that I stopped eating after about 60% and didn't even have the desire to take the leftovers home. Shanghai Style Salted Chicken: Highly not recommended! The chicken texture was quite dry, and the worst part was the abundance of small bone fragments. I was afraid to chew too hard for fear of damaging my teeth. 趕在 2026 年 4 月 15 日正式結業前造訪了兩次。整體而言,部分菜色表現亮眼,部分則較為普通。 大合特色擔擔麵:大推。拌入蔥花、花生碎與芝麻醬的乾拌麵,嚐著像口感更精緻的升級版麻醬麵。 攪和攪和:大推,本店必點招牌拼盤。含豆乾、海帶、豬耳、牛肚和麻辣牛腱五種綜合滷味。 醇香排骨雪菜炒飯滷蛋:必點。帶有鑊氣的菜飯,帶點肥肉的炸排,外層酥脆內層軟嫩,汁水感和融化油脂感都處理的極佳且不膩。 上海芝麻酒釀小湯圓:必點。份量頗多足夠四人吃。芝麻小湯圓配桂花蜜與酒釀蛋花。此外,完全不像其他店家會摻過多勾芡。 雪菜毛豆百頁:很不錯。水分收得恰到好處,美味完全不輸葷食。此外,不同於一般常見的冷盤做法,這道是以熱菜呈現,更有鑊氣。 紅燒肉:不錯。含兩顆晶瑩剔透的滷蛋與四塊燒肉;甜口醬汁入味,肉質燉煮得夠軟爛且幾無豬腥味,整體水準不錯。只是,阿凱迪亞的藍鵲仍稍勝一籌。 中規中矩但沒到非吃不可:生煎包、小籠包、炒年糕、牛肉麵、蝦豬大餛飩、糟溜魚片、蒜蓉炒菠菜。 蒸臭豆腐:超雷絕不推薦!這是江浙菜嗎?怎麼嚐著像川式水煮臭豆腐。太鹹了,鹹到我只吃了六成左右就不碰了,連打包帶走的慾望都沒有。 脆皮鹹水風雞:非常不推!雞肉口感偏柴,最討厭的是,容易吃到細小碎骨,我都不敢大力咀嚼怕傷牙。

The squeeze of lime was perfect to cut through the richness of the sauce and beef and I will come back just for this dish for sure. 10/10 Garlic string beans: cooked nicely and garlicky and was very satisfying. That said I think there could have been some extra savory notes to make it better, thaif said still very enjoyable. 8/10 Basil fried fish: spicy and sauced up fried fish with Thai Basil and jalapeños. This dish had a ton of fish and still had some crunch to it even though it was covered in that simple delicious sauce. 8.5/10 Seafood hong kong chow fun with gravy: healthy portion of sauced up noodles with a bunch of shrimp, imitation crab, and squid. Overall it was enjoyable but could have used some more imparted flavor. I am interested to come back and try the dry version or possibly the fried noodle version of the dish as opposed to the gravy version. In short, the food was delicious overall and would be happy to come back and try more things on the menu. Everyone else in the restaurant ordered the big giant lobsters and they looked amazing. I will definitely come back to try it out as well as other items.
