Happy Days Chinese Restaurant our favorite Chinese food restaurant on the East Side of Oahu. Locally owned and operated. Awesome assortment of Dim Sum and Chinese cuisine. Cooks are very skilled and use the freshest ingredients. Delicious food and dim sum (dim sum served all day). Service is very friendly, fast, and accommodating. Large public parking lot. Some street parking available.

Fast and friendly service! Dim Sum carts come around frequently so you never have to wait. Shrimp look fun was my favorite. Also had peeking duck and seafood cake noodle. Everything was so delicious that I'm going back again this weekend!

The food is great there! Service is fast and friendly. They didn't have the carts ready so they brought our food to the table. Highly recommend this place. I'll definitely be back again! Our favorite was the char siu look fun, char siu bao, eggplant, deep fried shrimp, and shu mai.

My daughter from UH Hilo School of Nursing was visiting for the holidays. When she was little, I would take her to see her Gung Gung and Popo on the weekends and go out together for dim sum at the Empress Restaurant at the Chinese Cultural Center. That duty of taking her for dim sum fell on me now. I decided to take her to one of my favorite dim sum restaurants that I have ever dined at. Food is always served fresh and tasted delicious. Service is always fast. Prices are reasonable. The photos are samples of what we ordered. My daughter was happy until she visits me again and hint for another visit for dim sum. I don't complain as I get to enjoy my chicken feet dish Hey, it's a delicious delicacy only a few would appreciate.
