Best Chinese Food around! We discovered this place on a whim by yelping. Got the fried chili lobster, mapo tofu, clay pot fish and eggplant, and hunan chicken. Everything was amazing! This is seriously the best Chinese restaurant outside of the 626. Wish we had anything close to this in the OC. Happy Yelping!

Needed a yummy Cantonese fix today and Happy Bee Kitchen made my day. The salt fried lobster was light and tasty and accentuated its natural sweetness. Mapo tofu had that nice mala spice. Huinan chicken comes with a great ginger sauce.

My new go-to Chinese restaurant in Cerritos area! Found this hole in the wall restaurant on Yelp and I was happy to see that they are a nice, small restaurant catering to local families. They have a vast selection of food but everything looked sooo good! We stuck with the basics - crispy shrimp chow fun, salted fish fried rice, French style beef, and spinach with garlic sauce. They were all so delicious. We finished it all. We will definitely be back. We took my aunt and uncle out to lunch and now they will be regulars too! Service was top notch as well, they kept on refilling our tea with a smile.

The food selections offer a range from the unique to the traditional. Something for everybody. Food quality was above average and service was prompt and informative. Generous with food portions..... always a plus. Ambiance... okay with ample seating. Forgot to take pics beforehand.... didn't want to take pics of empty plates after we chowed down.... delicious!

Second time here, and I can confirm this is the best Chinese food outside of the 626. It's a small mom and pop shop with limited tables, if you have a larger party you should call ahead to make a reservation. Portions are solid and the flavors are on point! I definitely want to try more new dishes next time, but here are the best dishes that everyone enjoyed: - French style fillet - Soft pan fried noodles - Honey walnut shrimp - House special chicken - Sautéed string beans w/ garlic - Salt & pepper anything

This is a super solid Chinese restaurant in a bit of a run-down Asian strip mall. The plaza is inside a 99 Ranch plaza with some of the stores unoccupied, so it's got a bit of that depressing vibe. The workers are all Chinese and they allowed me to practice my basic Chinese, it was so much fun. They also offered me a spoon to pick up the roasted peanuts, however I graciously declined and commented that I was not a weak foreigner who was incapable of picking up peanuts with my chop sticks. The food was amazing. It's not exactly a hole in a wall place, but it's definitely not going to win any beauty contests. There are two restrooms for each gender and the upkeeping was prestine. I shoved the Mongolian Beef and most of the Hainan Chicken with 3 bowls of rice into my belly. The Mongolian Beef had a great balance between the meat and veggies. The Hainan Chicken was the chilled variety with the yummy ginger oil. The chicken was well seasoned inside out like a duck and the flavoring wasn't lost in the chilling process. The service was super friendly, expedient and attentive. I wouldn't of expected this quality of food from this plaza or from this storefront. I'm glad I came here on a family's recommendation, it's 20 times better than the stuff sitting in the heat lamp at 99 Ranch :)

Casual dining with great food! Service was fantastic and beyond. She packed our leftover for us and made sure we are happy. Im thanksful that this place is open on Thanksgiving day and to see families enjoying their meals here. House special lobster was delicious and so was other food. This bee is happy!

Been here a couple of times, mostly for takeout but occasionally for dine in. It's in the same plaza with 99 Ranch market and many other businesses. House Special Eggplant is unique and delicious. The eggplant is sliced to about 1/2 inch discs which are breaded and fried. These are warm and crispy and dropped into a typical Szechwan sauce for some sweet and spicy notes. Due to the prep method these are amazing when hot and fresh, and unfortunately do not reheat well later. Honey Walnut Shrimp is a common dish and prepared well here. Not too much breading in the shrimp, with heavy of the Mayo sauce on top. Walnuts are usually on the side next to the shrimp rather than sprinkled on, and there are a couple pieces of broccoli too ‍ Bean Curd Szechwan Style has variable spiciness, and even the mild still has a kick. French beef cubes are great and good for takeout. House Special Fish Filet is prepared similar to the eggplant, but the fish is softer and so I prefer the eggplant due to the firmer bites.
