Happy China

For the past three years, dining at Happy China has been a part of our family's Christmas Eve traditon. Unfortunately, when we arrived for our confirmed dinner reservation this year, the person managing the front turned us away, saying that despite our reservation, they were "too busy" to seat and serve the five of us. When we pushed back a bit, she relented: "You can go sit down somewhere, but you will be waiting a very long time. We are just too busy." Granted, they were busy. When we arrived, ten-twelve people were standing around waiting for takeout. Judging by their facial expressions, sighs, and grumbling, some had been waiting way longer than they found acceptable. Most of the same people were still waiting when we left. We even waited more than five minutes just to be acknowledged.

We’ve eaten-in here numerous times, and the food’s been very good. We decided to try takeout — we will not be doing that again. Sauce on all 3 dishes was sticky and gummy. Beef in Hunan Beef tasted boiled, a really strange and unpleasant texture beef is not supposed to have. Cashew chicken had about 3 cashews. Overall bland flavor. We definitely would not order again, especially considering it isn't cheap.

Very disappointed, for both food quality and service. It used to be good, however the owner and menu have both changed. Cumin lamb was cooked with cumin powder, instead of cumin, thus it tasted very weird. Orange chicken is also so so. The only good one was moo shu beef. The food is overpriced. Another thing made us uncomfortable is the server is judging the food we ordered.

Had a decent dinner here. The food was quite salty in general but it was not bad. Portion is decent but is a little on the pricey side. When we were there for dinner, there weren’t many other people so the food was cooked pretty quickly and we did not have to wait for long. Plenty of parking spots as well.

I’ve eaten here many times and the food is so delicious every time. So flavorful and spicy! My favorite is the dry hot pot and the cumin lamb. Really great authentic Chinese food! The manager is also wonderful and so kind and always recommends the best dishes! 10/10 :)
