Happy Together
Happy Together in El Monte doesn't have the biggest dim sum menu but every dish hits. The shrimp dumplings are huge, the cha siu pastry is flaky and buttery, and the egg yolk bun is delicious. There are no carts, just paper menus. Service is fast, the quality is solid, and prices are reasonable. It's definitely a worthy dim sum stop in SGV.
