Happy Family - Review

Happy Family is a staple for all our carnivorous and vegetarian friends. Go for dinner (after 5:30pm) and order "All you can eat" style for approx. $10 and stuff yourself silly. Here are some must-have vegetarian dishes that we typically delight in:


Minced Squab. Crunchy, crispy, nutty deliciousness.


Sweet & Sour Pork, Pork & Broccoli, Green Beans, Deep-fried
Chicken w/Sesame, Deep-fried Tofu, Eggplant w/Basil, Tea

Minced Squab

Unlike all the other items, you can only order one of these per person. A fresh leaf of lettuce stuffed with crunchy bits and diced fake meats. We always start our feast with this.

Deep-fried House Chicken w/ Sesame

Meat made out of mushrooms; an alarming concept at first, but once you taste you will never question it again. Deep-fried, sweet, savory, and sprinkled with sesame seeds. I prefer these dishes to the wheat gluten or silken tofu ones, for savoriness.

Deep-fried Tofu

About ten or so large chunks of golden fried and crispy tofu with a side of a rich savory sauce to dip in. One of my favorite dishes.

Braised Green Beans

Finely diced caramelized onions and a delicious sauce cover these tasty green beans. We order this dish about four times over with our meal and its the plate that is devoured almost as fast as the deep-fried house chicken.

Fried Buns

Delicious, soft, slightly sweet, puffy, slightly crunchy. Perfectly compliments the twenty seven half-eaten dishes on your lazy susan. I've never had a bun this tasty.

Sizzling Pork & Broccoli

Comes out on a sizzling hot plate with veggies and tofu and fake meats. Not excellent like the other dishes but still tasty and a great presentation to boot.

Fried Rice

A nice alternative to the steamed rice they typically bring with the meal. Bits of ham (that almost mimic the real thing) and veggies mixed with white rice.

Service

Relatively prompt if there aren't too many people. Sometimes they forget orders, so you'll have to remind them if a particular dish doesn't arrive with the general flow.

Atmosphere

Clean and a step up decor-wise from their old location up the street which resembled an accounting office. Though, I do prefer the quaintness of the old place.

Would we recommend it?
Very much so! All you need is one sitting and you'll be a regular.
