Happy Chinese Restaurant

Visitors from across San Francisco and beyond turn to Happy Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown for authentic Cantonese dim sum and classic dishes that feel like the real thing. Our menu centers on traditional dim sum, from shrimp dumplings and pork siu mai to spare ribs, served with tea for a relaxed, unhurried meal.

Our duck, fish, pepper ribs and chicken dishes are favorites among guests who want a genuine taste of Chinese home cooking. Many of our regulars are families and grandparents who have been coming here for years, and we love welcoming newcomers who are curious to try something new.

Our owner is happy to make suggestions based on what is freshest that day, so don't hesitate to ask for recommendations. Our service is friendly, though our team is most comfortable in Chinese, so guests who read and order in Chinese will get the most out of their visit.

Come hungry, bring some cash, and stop by to experience dim sum the way it's meant to be enjoyed.
