This is officially our go-to dim sum spot! If you're nearby, order the truffle you can thank me later. The service is always friendly and fast, and we've never ordered anything we didn't love. So far, we've tried the wonton soup, fried rice, short ribs, pork dishes, soup dumplings, orange chicken, and drunken noodles. Everything is consistently delicious easily one of our favorite spots! read more

Food only review. The hubby stumbled across this place and had to stop by. I love buns and I love dumplings What we got and my score: Black truffle soup dumplings 7 Crab soup dumplings 9 Bbq pork buns 9 Pork fried pan buns 10 First of all, the To-Go orders come in reusable/thermal bags!! (Well ours did) I thought that was awesome because my food was still hot when hubby got home (we love 8 miles away). The Black truffle soup dumplings smelled like truffle but didn't taste like truffle. They were all yummy. The Crab soup dumplings were so juicy and savory. The Bbq Pork buns were stuffed with tender, delicious, sweet bbq pork. The bun was soft and pillowy. And last but not least, the Pork pan fried buns, were so yummy and addictive. If I weren't sharing I would've eaten them all without guilt. We will definitely be back. read more

We came here recently and thought it was a nice spot to eat! We had a group of 5 (including a toddler) and everyone left happy and full. We got a wide variety of the soup dumplings, we tried the stir-fried chicken noodles , crab rangoon, scallion pancakes and half a peking duck. There was no shortage of flavor and the stir-fried noodles were my favorite dish. The truffle dumplings had a VERY strong truffle flavor and they were even a hit for my 5 year old. The service was good, we got refills in a timely manner as well as the additional food we ordered. We did get some cold strawberry sake which was good, but it was also the only flavor they had left. We visited on Christmas Eve around 7pm and the place was not full at all. I think there were about 2 other parties there. The hallway to the restrooms was so decorative and nice and the actual bathrooms were clean and well-kept. I could come back here to eat again. read more

We ordered the cucumber salad (10/10), spicy wontons (8/10) , pork soup dumplings (9/10) drunken noodles with chicken (10/10 favorite thing we got!!!), and a mango crepe cake for dessert (7/10). Everything was really good and I would definely come back especially for the noodles and to try some other items. read more

So nice we went there twice....in one day. My husband and I came for lunch with my mother. That's where we tried soup dumplings, ribs and noodles. Everyone was pleased with their plate- the only complaint would be the spoons. They don't have flat bottoms so you end up holding it the entire time you are waiting for your dumpling to cool. When dinner rolled around, my husband and I really wanted to try other dumplings and buns. Just as delicious as when we went for lunch. Both times they were busy with to go orders, which looked like they are very well packaged. I thought the prices were fair. Very exciting to have something like this in Mansfield read more

Tucked away just off the service road next to Hat Creek Burger, Happy Buns Dumplings Restaurant is a hidden gem worth seeking out in Mansfield, TX. While the location can be a bit tricky to find, it's well worth the effort. The place had a charming atmosphere & adorned with beautiful Chinese lanterns throughout that provided a warm and inviting ambiance--perfect for some cute photo ops! Let's just dive in with the food: **Braised Beef Noodle Soup**: This dish was good, but I found myself wishing for a bit more depth in flavor. The broth was nice, just missing that extra kick to elevate it. **Hot & Sour Dumpling Soup**: A highlight of the meal, this soup was really great! Still, I was hoping for a more pronounced spice and sour note to intensify the experience. **Pork Fried Rice**: This was delicious! Packed with BBQ pork pieces and flavored just right, it was a comforting dish that I'd gladly have again. **Pork Soup Dumplings**: Could not skip these & they were nothing short of delightful, bursting with flavor and a must-try for any dumpling lover. **Beef Buns**: Another winner! The flavorful filling made these buns truly satisfying. **Pork BBQ Buns**: Yep, delicious as well! The balance of flavors and textures was spot on. **Green Beans & Cucumber Salad**: Wow! Both were amazing, beans perfectly cooked and seasoned, cucumbers were garlicky with a nice crisp; definitely standout side dishes. **Coconut Shrimp**: So delicious! Though it could have benefited from a little more sweet mayo glaze, the shrimp itself was outstanding. **Spicy Fried Shrimp**: A good dish, but it felt like it needed a sauce to enhance the flavors, as it was basically fried shrimp dusted with chili flakes. **Stir fried noodles** This was also a nice dish, I'm not big on dry noodle dishes, but everyone said they loved it. Overall, we had a wonderful visit to Happy Buns. The service was stellar throughout our visit, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home. Definitely worth a trip if you're in the Mansfield area! Also good to note-- if you order to-go they bring it to you in the cutest insulated store bag! read more

Restaurant is very nice, food was great. Enjoyed the soup dumplings, spicy wontons, soups, chicken rice.

Great food and great takeout containers than kept the food warm for pickup orders!! I recommend this place for great dumplings!

Our experience here started off amazing! The food was delicious and we were really enjoying ourselves. We really enjoyed the crystal shrimp and the soup dumplings. These were definitely the highlights. The beef pancakes were also very tasty but I didn't enjoy the sauce because it was too salty. Also I was pleasantly surprised to find Chinese broccoli on the menu! Unfortunately it went downhill the longer we were there. The food wasn't matching what was shown in the pictures of their menu. It hit rock bottom during desserts. We saw that there were crepe cakes so we ordered a slice of the strawberry one along with 2 of the dessert dumplings (both azuki and taro flavors). The server left and then came back shortly to ask which flavor of the crepe cake we wanted. We told him we wanted strawberry. He left and came back to tell us that they only had mango left. We agreed to take the mango one. When he came back with the cake, it was still frozen. What a let down! However we just let it go and didn't say anything. Next came our dumplings. Unfortunately only 1 came out and it came out raw. We sent it back but the server came back to tell us they were fully cooked and wanted to know what we wanted to do about it. We had already waited about 20 minutes for the desserts to cook and his tone didn't convince me that they would make it right so we told them to cancel our order. Overall I think I would come back to give them another chance because they did have some very good dumplings. Now that I know what to order and what not to order, maybe I'll have a better experience. tldr: Not everything on the menu are aces. Their desserts didn't come out edible. Hope you get a better server than we did. read more

Don't want to be a hater but the hype was clearly made by people who have never had good dim sum or actually fresh dumplings. Pretty sure the dumplings were fresh out the freezer, the beef buns had zero flavor and the noodles were small pieces not long fresh noodles and were SUPER salty. Honestly, didn't finish a single plate. Huge disappointment. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone who likes hand pulled noodles and good dumplings. My soup dumplings had ZERO soup. Take the drive and get some Dragon House! read more

The waitress was very nice and had really good recommendations. I ordered the beef noodle soup and the veggie pork dumplings. The beef noodles were really good. The beef was very tender. The soup was quite savory. I prefer the noodles to be a more al dente. The dumplings were very juicy. read more

Finally got a chance to try Happy Buns. We arrived after 7:00 pm and it was busy but no wait. The inside is bright, Chinese lanterns adorn the walls and lots of character to the layout. Service was great, very efficient and attentive. Our food took a little while to come out but was good. I particularly liked the Drunken Noodles. They were perfect. Not overly expensive and a nice addition to the Mansfield dining scene. I highly recommend checking Happy Buns out. read more

Cute place and decorations but lack the taste and texture of what dumplings should be. The dumplings were all stuff in the steamer and not juicy. The wrappers are thick. Reminds me of the Trader Joe's soup dumpings. Service was ok. The waitress forgot to give us our CC back so we had to come back and get it. It's nice to have a place close by but I rather drive to Dallas or Lewisville to have good dumplings. read more

Love this place! The food is amazing. I always order to go here and they are always so quick with my food. The staff is quick and very nice. The inside is very cute too. It might be a little small inside, but it is just right for this place. read more

Starting off, the place was packed and they are new. So there was a little confusion with the host getting everyone seated or to-go orders placed. I kind of expect that as they learn their flow. We ordered the orange chicken, beef and cabbage dumplings, and combo fried rice, all to go. It took about 20 min (not bad) to be ready. As for the food, I would grade it a B maybe B-. The fried rice was good, the dumplings were great, but the orange chicken was cooked to hard! So much so I had to spit a few pieces out. That was throughout the entire batch. One piece was even hard to cut. I would go back to give them another try but would def. steer clear of the orange chicken. read more

This was our second visit--we also came on their opening weekend. We ordered the beef spicy noodles (my son ate them so fast I didn't get a picture!) and the spicy edamame. We've tried quite a few items from the menu, and overall the food has been pretty good. That said, the service still needs some improvement. I wasn't a fan of the plastic silverware, the soda machine was out, and I never received a refill. Our lunch also took quite a while to come out. On the plus side, there was no wait at noon, which was great. I'll plan to come back in a few weeks and hopefully see real silverware, a working soda machine, and a bit more staff training. read more

Food was great, service was great, and it wasn't too loud inside! I loved the decor and the logo made me so happy. I am rarely in this area, but I will think about coming back for sure. We ordered soup dumplings, barbecue buns, and the plum spare ribs. While the plum spare ribs were a bit less flavorful than I anticipated, but the barbecue buns surprised me. While you can get these anywhere, I thought they had the best BBQ buns I've had so far! read more

The customer service was just ok. The food was alright. It wasn't my first choice but considering they were open late I figured I'd give them a try. I love Lo mein and I wasn't in love with it. I ordered a spicy chicken dish and eggrolls. I will try again one more time in the future with different dishes. I didn't even get to take a picture of the takeout because it was packaged poorly. read more

Great food! Casual place with a friendly staff. Only things I'd change were the chili oil didn't have much spice & quite a few of the soup dumplings ripped. Other than that I would try it again! read more

Disappointed with the food. Undercooked soup dumplings. Wonton soup, not difficult to perfect, was placed in beef noodle soup broth, and was extremely salty. Pan fried dumplings did not have crispy bottom. Tried it once and will not be returning. read more

I ate here at their soft opening, which I think was Day 1. I think the restaurant is pretty and of course it was clean because it was the first day of opening. I had the soup dumplings, which were good. It took about 30 minutes for me to get the food. Hopefully, it's better now. The service was slow, but it was the first day. I look forward to going again. For a soft opening, I thought they did a great job. read more

tried this new asian restaurant near me and the service was great! the food was decent. i liked the popcorn chicken, pan fried dumplings, beef ribs, soup dumplings, and fried rice. the stir fried noodles and bun beef noodles were ok (although my party seemed to like the bun beef noodles), and the orange chicken was definitely a miss, which was unfortunate. also wanted to try the crispy fried squid but they were out of stock. ik everything is more expensive nowadays (esp this locations rent) but i feel the price and serving size was a tad bit off for some of the food and you could find better and cheaper options elsewhere but its decent, potentially would go again. read more

Everything here is made in house! Great new Chinese restaurant in Mansfield. We came around 11:45 on a Friday, which was perfect timing because it was packed by 12:15. Service was great, we received all of our food in about 15-20 min from ordering. They were out of most Asian beers bc they have been so busy!! Highly recommend the pork and beef soup dumplings. I will definitely be back soon! read more

If you're craving soup dumplings, this spot will do the trick, but don't expect anything extraordinary. The dumpling wrapper is a bit too thick, there's not much soup inside, though the flavor itself is decent. The soup spoon is also a little too small to hold the dumpling comfortably. Peanut allergy warning: The cucumber appetizer came with peanuts, but peanuts weren't listed on the menu. Definitely something to be cautious about. We also ordered basil fried rice but were served regular fried rice instead. We didn't bring it up since the restaurant is still new and seems to be working through a few kinks. read more

Food and service was not a good experience. Soup was cold and when asked to heat it up we were treated like we did something wrong. Spring rolls were mush. And no refill on drinks. We were probably one of six tables. read more

I am so happy this place finally opened! Everything from start to finish was perfect. The service was great. We only waited 10 minutes to be sat and our server stopped by very soon after and took our drink orders. Throughout the meal, he was constantly making sure we had refills and brought us what we needed in a timely fashion. I arrived at 4:30 and was out the door by 5:35pm. The food was also great. I ordered the following: Beef pancake 10/10 Chicken fried rice 9/10 Spicy tossed noodles 10/10 Orange chicken 10/10 Chicken soup dumplings 8/10 (flavor was great but needed a bit more broth inside) Pork pan fried buns 5/10 The pork buns needed a little more flavor to them or maybe more protein inside. I wouldn't take off a star just for one thing not meeting my expectations. We ate all our food family style and it worked out perfectly. All the food was $81 and it left all 3 of us VERY full and satisfied (maybe too satisfied). The inside of the restaurant was very clean, nice, and had great vibe overall. I will definitely be coming again to try more items. read more

I won't give 1star because I like this place, but I just spent $100+ for the Orange chicken to be day old refried ABSOLUTELY not FRESH, chicken was tough like a rag ..please do better read more

The wait is long but that orange chicken was fire. Not one thing we ordered was a disappointment. Got the scallion pancake, maybe a bit overpriced on that but good! The cucumbers were cold, fresh, and tasty. The green beans were perfectly cooked. But I say again... best orange chicken in the area. Bangkok House has a run for its money here (though Id say theirs is still better) If you can stand the wait, give it a shot. Skipped the buns this trip. Im between a 4 and 5 star here. read more

Food was good, waitresses was awesome and the place was super cute. The decor was amazing my daughters love it. My oldest had noodles with beef and I have orange chicken with my husband and of course we all tasted different dumplings my favorite were the pork and shrimp. Next time we will have to try dessert and the soup dumplings. read more

Jannette was an incredible server who was kind and very excited to share her favorite dishes was us. The interior design is gorgeous and the vibes are spot on. Happy buns indeed. Do know the buns and steamed items take time but your patience is worth it. The BBQ pork buns were heavenly. The chicken soup dumplings were also amazing but unfortunately they broke when we picked them up. The egg salty curd dumplings were pretty sweet but cool to try. We are coming back as soon as possible! read more

Terrible customer service. Enjoyed the food on first visit went in second time and ended up waiting at the entrance for over 30 minutes. No greeter at the door or service personnel to acknowledge the arriving customers. Several folks waiting before us left without receiving service. When we finally approached the waiter he said he was the only one here and we will just have to wait. Would've been nice to know before we waited for over 30 mins. read more
