"Run entirely by a single chef, this quiet spot in Little Saigon has some incredible dishes. She goes by Chef Ye to her regulars, but her full name is Aifang Ye. The Happy Food owner hails from Taizhou, a coastal town in Zhejiang Province, and she brings a variety of dishes she ate in Taizhou, prepared with her own spin. The menu is simple and understated, with dishes like stir-fried green beans, fish filets in house-made scallion oil, rustically stir-fried cabbage, braised pork intestines with King oyster mushrooms, and doughy delights like pumpkin mantou and dumplings. The restaurant has a home-style vibe, the food is reasonably priced and served with a warm smile." - Jay Friedman
