Happy Days Chinese Seafood Restaurant

This was a great first time experience. Very nostalgic authentic place. I'd recommend coming a little earlier in the day since the dim sum is made hot every morning. The waiter came with the dim sum cart I got a couple of my go tos but I did try something new. The dim sum I think was very tasty, good flavor but I feel if I came earlier in the day it would have been more moist. The second waiter came with a delicious looking tray of buns and things, and I ordered look fun which then they went to prepare it. I've never had a better look fun, it was a little crispy and there was crunchy pork bits with the perfect sauce. I liked the dim sum but I loved the look fun! It's a little outdated inside but it has a sort of charm to it. I had 4 orders dim sum and a look fun (5 pieces) for $33! Probably time to raise your prices. Thanks it was so good.

Was craving dim sum while on family vacation in Honululu and looked up the top dim sum restaurants in the area. This place showed up and was the closest and we decided to give it a try. It is one of best dim sum outside of Asia. It has all the favorites - glutinous rice, shrimp dumplings, rice rolls, siew mai, in an authentic, push-cart setting. The egg tarts are super good. High recommended. In a complex with a lot of other food options and plenty of parking. Opens early.

My brother and I were in town and visited for dim sum on a friend's recommendation. We were so happy with our first visit that we came back a second time before our separate trips home. Authentic feel and flavors. The staff is very friendly and inviting. Wish we actually lived on Oahu so that we could eat here all the time.

Typical dim sum/Chinese restaurant in the heart of Kaimuki. Wanted to support Chinatown but friends suggested this place. Customer service could be better but had to wait a bit before acknowledged and seated, only if half full. Dim sum was okay, nothing special to write home about or return. Had to flag down the servers as we were seated the farthest away from the crowds. Sticky rice was overcooked, first time i had to scrape the rice off the leaf. Price was fair for dim sum... Around $80 with tip for 3 people. 4 generous stars.

Worse than disgusting!!! It's 4 o'clock in the morning and I'm not sleeping because of the abdominal pain from eating from this "restaurant". Look at the interior photo: the dining room is a mixture of a furniture warehouse of some boxes and an office. There are holes and smudges on the ceiling. There is dirt right in front of the client's nose! Negligence and disrespect for customers are visible in all details. The "interior design" is perplexing. It's really disgusting! The staff communicates as prison guards communicate with prisoners. The waiter literally pointed us to the table where we had to sit down. The prices are too high. They bring huge portions apparently to justify the inflated cost. I decided to order two dishes - two huge plates were brought. The soup looked like wallpaper glue. Such a nasty sticky goo! It's disgusting!! I still have a stomach ache and nausea. We came out of there and found three more establishments with pleasant interiors and staff on the same street literally nearby. The prices are much lower than in this not "happy day". Happy day owner, who are you? Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Where are the state regulatory authorities looking?! A terrible impression of "happy day". Avoid it!!!

It might just have been us, but I was very overwhelmed when I came here. It was very busy and we were set at a table and didn’t know how ordering worked. No one came up to us to take our order, it felt very informal and a little chaotic but maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be? The dim sum carts had delicious options and that’s all we were able to order since we tried to order other options but we were told it was on another cart but that cart never came. I’d probably recommend coming if you’re only interested in getting dim sum or ordering for pick up. This was a little too loud, busy, unorganized, and crowded for my taste.

The food was very tasty and good sized portions. Waitress helped with recommendations for how many orders of each to get. Parking available close by. Quite a number of restaurants in the same area.

This curiously named old-style restaurant ("Happy Days"?) serves excellent dim sum. Even on a Thursday at 12 noon, the place was very busy. Service was quick & efficient, and all the dim sum we enjoyed was fresh & hot. We also ordered a side of gon lomein, which was heavenly.
