Happy Cafe - Denver

Happy Cafe is one of my favorite places for Cantonese cuisine and truly a hidden gem in town. I recently enjoyed some delicious dishes, including the stewed beef in sour soup, Mayjie duck chin, clams in soy sauce, and marinated chicken feet. If you're in the area, their address is 945 S Federal Blvd Unit G, Denver.

During my first visit to this restaurant, I ordered wonton soup and sesame chicken. The broth of the soup was rich in flavor, and the wontons were generously filled—absolutely excellent. The sesame chicken, which is often poorly prepared at other places, was perfectly cooked with tender white meat, a light coating, and a delicious sauce topped with tuxedo sesame seeds. It could have used a bit more spice, but it was still very good. The portion size was quite generous for a lunch item. They also offered a Chinese menu for those looking to try more adventurous dishes. The location is small and a bit tricky to find, and it clearly caters to an Asian clientele. I will definitely be returning to explore more authentic options. You won’t be disappointed!

This place did not disappoint! Some friends told me this was the place to go, glad they mentioned it. Will be coming back soon!

This place is true to style, with a mix of authentic Cantonese dishes as well as more familiar favorites. Looking forward to coming back to try the clay pot rice dishes, as you don’t see those on very many menus. My only complaint is that this was not a true (HK-style) 茶餐廳, so they don’t have the assortment of snacks or fusion cuisine items (e.g. ham and egg macaroni, pork chop over rice with spaghetti sauce) that you might expect.

First time here and this place is authentic canto cuisine. A hidden gem of the area and would definitely recommend this place to the homiessss
