Customer Reviews
It's a little lonely building. Never no cars out front. Decide to take a chance. Walked over from the Petro. But once you get inside everything changes. Very clean and vibrant. The woman at the front was very pleasant. We ordered the hot tea, it can out quickly and hot. My co-driver got the General Taos combination plate with egg drop soup. I ordered the Chicken Szechuan with hot and sour soup. Both got spring rolls with our meals. We also ordered the House Combination lo main. When our soups came out you could tell they were made fresh to order. His egg drop soup had the most eggs I've ever seen in a soup. My hot n sour was so pleasantly fresh. When the entrees came out it looked like they made the General Toas with full chicken tenders. I've never seen such large pieces and the sauce w
The food here was good, but I've had better. Not complaining just saying. It was definitely hot and def fresh. I'd def come back. Kind if threw me off cause I thought this place was closed. It was open, but I was the only one there. Naturally some people would leave, but I was hungry and didnt care for McDonalds or fast food. The food was good and FRESH. They could've added more pork to my pork fried rice. The serving size was too much. Def no complaints there. You walk in and the decor was nice. Def had some vibes going on witch I can't but wonder why I was the only one there (literally) Anyways I'd recommend going there & inviting friends because this place was empty.
All the great reviews were exactly what made me stop in and have lunch while on layover at the truck stop. Happy Chen made this trucker happy and then some! Definitely recommend if you are looking for quality Chinese food. I got the fried shrimp and steam dumplings appetizer. Followed it up with the Happy Family entree with some fried rice. DELICIOUS! Service was excellent as well!
The chicken noodle soup was amazing — rich flavor, super fresh, and the portion was huge! Great price for such quality. I’m definitely keeping this place on my list. Thank you so much! ❤️
After being on the road for a few weeks, I parked our rig at the Loves. My wife and I were in the mood for something other than the usual truck stop food or something simple on the truck. We had talked about this place before, but we were reluctant to try it because of the many negative reviews. We decided to give it a try this time, despite the negative reviews. My wife had the chicken fried rice, and i had the crispy beef with fried rice. All we can say is, wow! The food was amazingly flavorful! The portions were generous. And the price was fair. The couple running the place were very friendly. We ordered our food to go and went back to the truck to enjoy it. We were delighted by just how enjoyable it was! We are very glad we decided to give it a chance and will definitely be back! Happ
