THIS REATAURANT IS CLOSED AND HAS MOVED. It is now Happy Dim Sum & Cuisine. If you order from tbe asaociated website it will take your money but the order will not go to the new Location
I stopped by Happy Café Express for lunch today and was surprised to find the restaurant has completely changed its menu. The owner has moved the old menu to a new spot called Harbor Dim Sum & Cuisine on Alameda Avenue. While the location and offerings have shifted, it’s still under the same ownership, now focusing on using a spoon to scoop classic American-style Chinese food.
My wife and I ordered a spread that included chicken, beef, shrimp, and even a whole fried fish. Each dish was flavorful, satisfying, and served at a very affordable price. It felt like the kind of hearty, familiar comfort food you expect from a traditional Americanized Chinese restaurant.
One highlight was seeing JoJo, the longtime waitress, still working full-time. Her friendly presence adds continuity and warmth to the dining experience.
If you or your friends enjoy the nostalgic flavors of American Chinese cuisine—think generous portions, approachable dishes, and a welcoming atmosphere—I recommend giving Happy Café Express a try. It’s a reliable spot for a casual meal that won’t break the bank.

Friendly staff, big portion, and great price. Also the seating area was good. If you are looking for scoop Chinese or a local Panda Express alternative, this is the spot!

I thought HAPPY CAFE was gone for good, But as soon as it open the food is always still AMAZING. I love how cheap the meals are and I can use what I can eat with my steamer rice with just $6.95.

Fantastic authentic Chinese on Federal. Mapo tofu, duck, beef chow fun, and spicy green beans were so good. They don't skimp on the málá (Sichuan peppercorns).
