Happy Food 1043 South Jackson Street, Seattle, WA 98104

"Tastes very much like delicious home cooked Chinese food - both the owner and the server were incredibly nice and sweet. Note there is only one chef so during peak dining time service will not be fast, and also they are being challenged by the rough neighborhood - several non-customers walked in and the staff was very diplomatic in dealing with them. We will come back to support them because their food is delicious and I want them to succeed!"

"We ordered the pig ear salad, scallion fish filet, and garlic green beans and the food tasted great. It really reminded of comforting home cooked meal. It seems like they were serving a pretty big party when we first got there. They still ironing out the timings of dishes and what not. There seems to be a lot of Riff Raff on the street outside of the restaurant, but the gate adds some separation."

"Love this place! The food is amazing. It's new and run by a Chinese lady. She only speaks Mandarin so it was a little bit difficult to communicate. But she has a lively and kind energy--great at recommending dishes for you if unsure. Came with 5 other friends and we ordered: fish with scallion oil, mapo tofu (vegetarian), green beans with garlic sauce, spicy cucumbers, and a large side of rice for 6. We also ordered braised shrimp (not pictured) but got too full and packed it up with other leftovers. This food is definitely for eating family-style. Total was ~$95. Very reasonable for 6 people. Many vegetarian options. I do recommend coming with someone who speaks Mandarin. And also mind that she is the only one there so food can take a while especially if there's more than one party there."

"This is a treasure new Chinese restaurant located in Seattle's Chinatown. The owner is from Zhejiang, China and has exquisite cooking skills. The dining environment is clean and elegant. The food tastes light and delicious. The owner said they do not use MSG in cooking and try to keep the original flavors as much as possible. I ordered a dish of fish fillet which was very tasty. The rice they served was surprisingly purple rice. I also ordered a seaweed shrimp soup which is nutritious and healthy. In the future when I come to downtown Seattle, I will choose this restaurant for meals!"

"Accidentally saw a new sign on the storefront that had been vacant for 2 years. Very glad to see the area attracting new business. Thought I’d definitely try it. Glad I did. In fact, been here 3 times in a week! Miss Yeah, the owner cooked us amazingly delicious whole fish on Xmas day! What a treat! One of the best all-round Chinese restaurants. And absolutely the best 苏浙 (Shanghai/ Yangtze River Delta/ Eastern China) cuisine in town. It compares to the best of NYC/ Flushing and LA in the category. I believe everyone will find something to entertain their taste buds. What I love the place the most is that I feel like being invited into the home of an established chef in China, and taking my time to enjoy some of the most delicious food I’ve ever had… The place is very clean and cozy, with adequate parking in my opinion."
