Recently I placed an order, it was a $40., order for delivery. I had planned on giving a $10., tip. I like to promote Small Businesses in the neighborhood. After placing my order, the gentleman says about 30 minutes. As he was about to hang up the phone, I said, don't you want my card number. His reply... Since you are a new customer, it's cash only for first order!!! I literally live two minutes away. I figured if this is their "alleged policy", this Small Business doesn't need money!!! I cancelled my order, and placed my order some place else!! read more

The best Chinese I have had in 23 years of living in Chicago & Oak Park. Egg rolls, fried rice, and the usuals are all done very well.

The only reason they received two stars is because of the portion size. Otherwise this along with most places is some extremely bland & virtually flavorless food. Most of the ingredients in the shrimp fried rice resides at the top of the container. The chicken portion of the sweet & sour chicken resembles frozen chicken in texture & taste. I personally think it should come in the same container as the sweet & sour sauce but nonetheless I won't be returning. Swear I'm having the hardest time finding Chinese food read more

Sometimes you don't want to pay $50 for Chinese food. When I'm riding solo and have a craving for Chinese, this is my go to. It's close to Chinatown plus they have lunch specials. None of the restaurants in Chinatown offers lunch specials so if you're looking for authentic Chinese food which offers lunch specials, this is your place. I usually order the egg foo young and fried rice special. It comes with the option of an egg roll on the side or bbq pork. $11 Holla read more

The quality of the food isn't the best. The rice was oily and lack of seasoning was evident.

My go to for Chinese food when I'm at work. The portion size is ridiculously large and the prices are always great. Highly recommend!!

The food is excellent...lt reminds me of Luckys. King wah. Kai kai. Far East Oven

Literally the best fried rice I've had at any takeout or delivery place. Huge portions, great price.

Great food beef and rice and an order of shrimp rolls were delicious and fast service reasonably priced also

Ordered shrimp and chicken kow from them after consumption ,I started throwing up and I had bad stomach cramps with loose bowels. My boyfriend ordered shrimp and chicken fried rice he stated his food was ok . I had a case of food poisoning .We called back next day and the clerk started. " I don't know what happened we were very busy yesterday, she refused to refund our money. We will not be patronizing that establishment ever again . We work hard for our money , to not get decent food that we paid for and you take our money and crap on us when we complain. Bad customer service. You just lost a regular 2 regular customers. read more

I went here based on Yelp reviews. The Mongolian Beef sauce was too thick and the Chicken was fried too hard. The egg rolls were tasty. They seem to have a steady flow of customers so maybe I ordered the wrong things. I might give them another try. MIGHT! read more

WOW... it's like having the 80s Chinatown back a tad. I haven't eaten here in a while, so you'll know my surprise when I had the gravy this evening, it was excellent. It wasn't bad before, but it was fantastic tonight. The Shrimp Fried rice.... Amazing! The eggrolls are good... we'll never have Lucky's again, but they're the best I've had as of late. I highly recommend Happiness! read more

The food is just great, very often we order from this restaurant. I definitely strongly recommend this Chinese restaurant!

When I called to place an order the employee answering the phone was very rude and harsh when I asked her to explain the menu as it was my first time ordering from here. I cancelled my order right after she gave me attitude while telling me my order back to me. I'm very disappointed this is how they treat first time customer. read more

Great menu options and customer service. Would give five stars if the food wasn't as greasy as it was. Helping portions and good prices for how much food you receive. read more

Amazing food, portion sizes and prices! They packed everything for delivery with care, they left the orange chicken open to prevent if from getting soggy and the orange sauce is automatically served in the side! We have enough food for dinner, lunch and dinner tomorrow night! I am so happy I tried them, I tried another place a few months ago and was disappointed in their food and delivery experience. read more

This will be my last time ordering from this place. The establishment is very rude including management. This place use to be a great Chinese restaurant, but after last year the food looks and taste like crap. When you call to talk about your order the person who takes the order or answers the phone is rude. This female needs a crash course in phone etiquette! When you ask to speak with the manager or owner you're told they are out. I think they are racist and think they are above everyone else. This restaurant act like they are doing me a dam favor. The food is starting to look like last night's left overs especially the lunch specials! The delivery guy was rude today when he called regarding entrance to my apt. He act like he can't follow directions and got a attitude (yelling) when you try to help. I told them to my tip back from my credit card. In closing, fortunately this isn't the only Chinese restaurant in Chicago. read more

In my opinion it's the best Chinese food in the community. The food taste so good and it's always hot and delivered very quickly.

Awesome food, semi friendly staff. Normally, I place a delivery order, but I decided to go into the restaurant. Small, quaint little place, it was a couple finishing up dinner as I placed my order. My order took about 15 minutes to be prepared. Lots of street parking. read more

Despite the covid insanity, they've been really good to me. I'm very appreciative of their business and good food. The driver always Polite And on time. Out of all Chinese restaurants in Bridgeport I'll always have Happiness as my go to. Thank you for making my life easier and I'm happy to support this tasty neighborhood restaurant. read more

Good customer service, only things is they don't box their when delivered food open and put in plastics bag.

Gross. Happiness must have changed hands because it's not the same as it used to be. I hadn't eaten food there in some time but one night I decided to order takeout. We ordered shrimp fried rice, egg rolls, beef & pea pods, shrimp with broccoli and orange chicken. When I called to place the order the young lady who answered was nice but she seemed to be in a hurry. I could barely get the order out before she was rushing me off the phone. When I said I wanted orange chicken she told me the sauce was on the side which struck me as odd but I didn't really know what that meant until I got the order. They no longer deliver to my area (they did before) so I went to pick up up. I live .7 miles from the place. It was ready in less than 15 minutes. The food had NO flavor. The rice was bland and the egg rolls were greasy and burnt. The orange chicken wasn't orange chicken at all. It was a disgusting version of sweet and sour chicken. The beef with pea pods was decent but the shrimp and broccoli was below average at best. Happiness used to be our go to spot for Chinese food but that night it was a HUGE disappointment. We felt like we'd thrown $40 out the window. It was so bad we didn't even eat the leftovers. Most of the food when into the trash the same night. Oh well, guess it's time to find another go to Chinese spot in the area. Sigh. I'm done with Happiness forever. read more

I have never written a review in my life. This situation has forced me to. Yesterday I was walking past Happiness and 80 year old asian women got hit and dragged by a car while she was riding her bike. We ran over to try to help her. This poor elderly women head was cut open and there was blood everywhere. She didn't speak english. So I ran in Happiness to ask the women working behind the counter if she or anybody in the kitchen can translate. She flat out said No. I said really no ? She walked me to the door and looked at the bleeding elderly women in the middle of the street and said no again and went back in the restaurant. People like that I really pray that they learn compassion. I mean would if that happen to her mother. I'm sure she would of wanted someone to help her. I will never order from the them again. I wouldn't want that kind of energy having anything to do with making my food. read more

I order from here almost every week and after reading some of these ridiculous bad reviews I felt that I had to say something. There is no better hunan chicken in the city and their luck specials are incredible. This place is truly a gem in my neighborhood! read more

The food here is just "ok". It's an average chinese restaurant.. nothing spectacular. Oh, but I do have to give them credit for their won ton soup... yumm! I've never eaten at the restaurant, but when I do place an order over the phone and provide my phone number to the guy.. I have to wait about 5 seconds before giving him the next digit of my phone number (i.e.: 7 (5 sec), 7 (5 sec), 3 (5 sec). THEN, once I get there to pick up my food, he'll verify the order by asking for your phone number. I whisper my phone number to him.. then he repeats it very very loud for the entire restaurant to hear. LOL. This guy cracks me up.. and it happens every time. When you place the order for delivery, they get to your door... call you on your phone, then say, "We deliva". So I of course, try to clarify it by asking, "are you here?" Then he responds with, "we deliva" again. read more

I have had the place a few times with some of my Coworkers as a Delivery so today was the first time that I was about to do a walk in to place my order. The Dining room area was nice and clean the 2 ladies at the front counter was Pleasant. I order the pot stickers and then I place another order. Lunch special for later today (veggie egg foo Young with a egg roll and fried rice) When I got home I did try my food and my rice was a little cold. Other then that my food was OK. read more

Really friendly atmosphere. Food is great smoothies are on point just missing the tapioca in the smoothies. Otherwise friendly neighborhood and not too expensive. Love it here. read more

Extremely overjoyed with the quality of this food! Amazing taste, great portion size and great delivery time. I am very picky about my sweet and sour chicken and when I received my order and seen that they separated the chicken and the sauce per my request I was already won over. The vegetarian eggroll was so amazing. Roommate wishes that the chicken/shrimp combo was great tasting but wishes there were more pieces of shrimp. He had 3 (2 of which were stuck together in one ultra shrimp) Great food!! read more

I must give this place credit, it was the first place ever that i can remember where i literally couldnt finish my plate, it was the bbq pork shanghai chow mein, and it was so biiiig, plus only like $8! Such a deal, good have fed 2, also got an egg roll which was solid, and a mango smoothie, which was ok, not one of my favorites, but they have a lot of good reasonable priced options so i am pretty sure i will be returning (i also literally live 50 feet away XD) read more

All I have to say is Sesame chicken: I couldn't tell what I actually ordered because it tasted like 20 different sauces tossed into one. Chicken was super dry, hard, and not in the least bit enjoyable. Crab Rangoon- overly fried. Legit, oil was dripping out as I was eating it. Filling was gross- very oily. White rice- only good thing about the meal and they gave me 3 whole tablespoons. Not. Good. read more

This is a small place but they have the Best cooks there. Always excellent tasting food and quick. Eating in was always a pleasure because of the attentive staff. Prices are very reasonable. read more

I have owned a business next door to Happiness since they opened years ago, 40 years, and going strong. Employees and I have patronized this establishment many times over the years. The previous owner was Peking Gardens, There food was less than desirable, so we never returned. After trying Happiness once, we are now frequent customers. Portions are generous, Tastes is good, service is great. read more
