09/27/2007: "Happy Day Chinese Restaurant"
I am definitely not a fan of our Chinatown. It is dirty, always crowded with people...and mainly rude Chinese people. I'd like to think that I can say that because I am Chinese myself, so rushing out to Chinatown for dim sum is definitely not my idea of fun. But if I were to suggest a place to get great dim sum in Chinatown...the best you can find is definitely located in the Chinese Cultural Plaza. Anyway, to avoid the Chinatown craze...I head out to Happy Day Chinese Restaurant once in a while to satisfy my hunger. Here is a short entry to share some opinions...
Happy Day Chinese Restaurant is always busy, and I do think their dim sum is pretty good. It definitely can't compare to those in Chinatown and it costs much more...but sometimes it feels better to be away from the hustle and bustle of Chinatown and enjoy the Kaimuki scenery. Even during the peak times of the restaurant, there is only one main dim sum cart running around. Either be ready to order everything you will need right then and there when they first come to you or expect slow service (at least a 20 minute wait for the cart to return).
