Happy Day Cafe - Richmond

Today my in-laws purchased the Chinese Pineapple Bun and absolutely loved it.

The staff member then gestured towards a table without clearly indicating where she wanted us to sit, so we chose a random table meant for 10 people, even though there were only three of us. The menu, with its various combinations and options, was quite confusing for us since it was multilingual. We ordered beef congee, steamed rice roll with dried scallops and satay beef vermicelli, and an egg sandwich. All of the dishes were authentic Cantonese cuisine and delicious. Each combo meal came with a free drink, and the prices were very reasonable considering the generous portions. I would have given this restaurant 5 stars, but I had to deduct one star due to the rude behavior of the staff.

I absolutely love every dish we have tried at this restaurant! It seems to be busier than in previous years, but I appreciate that they have brought back their old menu, offering a wide variety of delicious options. The portions are reasonable for the price and the flavors are fantastic. Some of our favorites include the clubhouse sandwich, laksa soup, baked chicken on rice, pan-fried chicken, pineapple buns, and HK-style Iced Lemon Tea. The service is great and the wait times are reasonable. There is plenty of parking around the area, although it can get full during peak hours. Expect mild to moderate traffic during lunch and dinner times, especially on Sunday mornings until around 3pm.

Went with 3 orders on a cold evening so we decided to order their promotional winter set meal 御寒三寶 with foods that are traditionally suppose to warm you up. Interior is super clean and bright. The complex the Cafe is located in has a parkade which makes this a good location as parking in Richmond can be a challenge. Service was polite and the waitresses were patient to explain the dishes and ingredients. The end of the dinner we were also served complimentary mung beam soup. Would come again if in the area!

I was told that Happy Day Cafe used tobe operated in other location and it has been up running for many years. Today, I went there with friends for lunch and it's packed. The lunch sets are very bargain, the price range is between CAD $11 to $19 including a main dish a drink.
