Don’t get me wrong food is delicious but very sneaky Staff. I place a order for pick up after checking there menu on their website & on google but when I go there to pick it up they ask $14 more than the prices online & when I ask about it the lady sad those prices online are old more than 5 years ( well I know the price 5 years ago because this is not the first time I went there) then I ask her to show me the price on their current menu @ the restaurant (which is in all Chinese) & she refused. I was almost going leave the place without food & then she agreed to charge the actual price after been so rude and disrespectful. Such a bad experience. Price per person: $40–50 Food: 5 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
This place has delicious Cantonese food! Everything is super authentic, down to the ambiance. The food has that "wok hei" that you can't reproduce at home. Even my very critical Cantonese mother loves it! They are busy, so make a reservation if you can. Price per person: $40–50 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 Noise level: Loud, but you can still talk
I go to the Happy Family Restaurant for a few times. I love the Hous special Goose. I refer my friends to go there too. Yesterday I went there, I ordered the half of the Hous special Goose again, it was all the neck pieces and tasted not the same. I think it was the left over from the day before. And waitess recommend the other three dishes was tasted horrible. I am not go back again.
