    Receipt showing the food purchase and delivery time.
    Ivan V.

    I usually try to avoid giving restaurants a one star rating, because I know that running a business can be trying, but there are limits to a person's patience and Happy China gleefully trampled over mine in quite a number of ways. On impulse I placed an order. I figured it was a soft cheat day and I could use some shrimp rolls and shrimp fried rice to match the rolls. (If you are ever in Jersey City I highly recommend Kay's Spring Garden for efficiency and service). Grubhub state's that the order itself would take almost two hours to make and deliver. I found that questionable... I was only ordering what I usually order--see above. How complicated would it be to prepare a simple order like that? But... at 8:40ish I figured I'd sit back, watch some cheap TV, and wait. Over an hour later and approaching 10:00pm I get a call from the front desk. The order is here. Front desk tells driver to bring it to room 1221. I wait in anticipation and even exit outside to signal to the driver to come to me. He never came. As a matter of fact I got a second call from the hotel inquiring about the order. I told them it hadn't arrived at all, perhaps the driver dropped it in the wrong room. I called Happy China and was greeted by the most disagreeable woman who made every attempt to lecture me on the fact they had called me and I did not pick up. (No call came to me from Happy China.) I kept informing her that a) I had my phone on me at all times and b) the room was 1221, not another room. She began berating me as if it was still may fault that the delivery was left in the wrong place. I even told her i would go and fetch it as it was around the corner from me. She didn't seem to comply and then had me on hold wanting the driver to re-deliver to my door. She then proceeds to scold me on not having the phone on me, as if I'd deliberately not picked up the phone. I told her in succinct tones that I have ordered for years now. When I travel I leave the hotel name address and room number on the order. Instead of acknowledging the error she continues to bulldoze her way stating that my signal was bad. That my phone service was bad. That I needed a better phone. I stopped her dead in her tracks and told her I have a high tension job that demands I have my phone on me at the ready in case and I have ordered in other places to no conflict. Except now. Then she quickly deflects the argument to the fact that the order was accepted by the guests in room 1224 who took it and that this happens often; people steal orders like crazy in Louisville it seems. I basically let her know it was best to discontinue deflection of responsibility through this fruitless argument and she at least removed the charge. At the stroke of 9:00 am today I receive a call. My order was found intact in front of 1224. After asking them if anyone was in that room front desk informed me that no one has stayed in that room or 1223 since March 10 of the year in transit. So the woman's story of people stealing orders was a bold faced lie to cover her and her driver's incompetency to complete a simple delivery. I think it's rather clear I won't be eating this. I don't harbor an ambition to poison myself. So... I'm unclear and pretty repulsed by this lie. What was the purpose of it? I'm just beyond at this point. No rhyme or reason. As constructive criticism, I understand that running a business can be stressful but when an error is made -- especially for something like this -- the business must take ownership and not gaslight the caller/client who only wanted a warm meal at the end of the day.

    The Good Old Standard Beef Fried Rice

    If you want good old fashion Chinese Take Out you will be hard press to beat Happy China. The food is very good, they have limited seating if you want to dine in but they do deliver as well. The staff at Happy China is also very friendly My two favorites are the Beef Fried Rice and Mongolian Beef.

    2. Pork Egg Roll, 17. Chicken Rice Soup, Roasted 90. Roast Pork Chinese Vegetable & D2. Steamed Chicken with Mixed Vegetables
    Steve A.

    Ordered some takeout from here today and it was sooo good! The food arrived earlier than expected, hot and everything tasted really good. I got the Chicken Rice Soup, Pork Egg Roll, Steamed Chicken with Mixed Vegetables, which was from the healthy section and lastly, the Roast Pork Chinese Vegetable. Soup was awesome, Egg Roll was to die for, and the Roast Pork was really yummy; had a lot of veggies, and the sauce was provided separately. The Steamed Chicken was my fave - tasted healthy, almost no salt, which is what I requested, and the portions were huge for all the items. Awesome prices too!

    Paid $11.75 for a beef & scallop entree...only received a platter full of broccoli..Pure bullshit.
    Victoria S.

    Paid $9.95 for a Beef & Scallop entree, just to receive a platter full of broccoli. What a joke... I was willing to overlook the salty lo mein, but y'all trash for doing that entree BS.

    This was the nasty Chinese food I've had, thought I give you guys another's shot but I can't eat this hard chicken, it's little pieces of hard Inedible chicken

    We always get our Chinese takeout here. Everything is good and they include a free crab Rangoon with a $20+ order! I was hoping to look at pictures of the different menu items to decide what to get as I like to switch it up and never remember what I've already tried, but not a lot of people have uploaded them. I'll try to remember to add a new menu item pic each time I order from now on!

    I will never come back to this place…read more Let me start by saying I used to love this restaurant. It was one of our favorite. But now, it's on our list to never eat here again. It started with me placing an online order. This is new on their website while I was looking at the menu. I figured this would be best than calling the restaurant. How I was so wrong. I placed it with a 30 minute window. Ordered at 4:44 to be pick up at 5:14pm. I showed up to the restaurant at 5:03pm. There was about 4 other people at the counter. One person just placed their order, another person said her mom called to place the order but wasn't sure when it would be ready. They told everyone 20 min. I showed my ordered and they were going to be me 20 minute. I said I placed my order 20 minutes ago. Ok so I waited... Another lady came in and said that she placed her order around the same time online. Her order number was 140 and she had a long receipt with quite a lot of items. My order was 148, somehow. By the time I asked what's going on with my order at 5:15, they said they go by the order number and they're on 138. I don't think they processed my order until I arrived at 5:03pm. It took until 5:39pm before I receive the order in my hand. I only had very few items, one of which was an order for combination lo mein, plain mantou, shrimp tofu and wonton noodle soup. Mind blowing because I paid $50. The online system also charge a $1 fee, which I did not know about until I saw the receipt. Which would had been fine if my order was done in the time it was promised. Now, the staff was not the most friendly either... the person that handed me the bag almost dropped it because she put it in my hand, didn't say a word and turned and walked away. They cannot be any more rude than that. I was sweating profusely and shaking while waiting for a very long time while I am pregnant and nauseous. Now here's the review for the food. It was not good. We have had some on and off with their food and we haven't been back for a while so I wanted to give them another chance. But their lo mein was soo salty, and they used pad thai noodles. The wonton noodle soup was small container, so bland, literally no flavors, and the wonton tasted so bad. They put really hot tofu that was deep fried in styrofoam container that it put a hole through the container. So my paper bag was soaked and wet within the 6 minutes drive home. The mantou was so tiny for $4.5. Not worth it. All in all, the 4 items that I ordered did not worth the $50 for almost an hour wait, not worth my time or money. I wouldn't have eaten the food if I didn't already paid. Had I not already paid online, I would just had left.

Woman behind the counter was so nice, made sure we had everything we needed, and you can see the cooks in the kitchen making your food. I usually get the chicken dishes. I got General Tso's this time. What I love: the chicken is fried to order so it's super crispy and the sauce is so flavorful. I feel like other places the sauce soaks into the breading and it gets a little soggy, but not here. Their crab rangoon is perfection. Other places is way too sweet with a few flecks of crab and is more like a cream cheese wonton. Theirs is generously filled with crab, and it's savory. I also love to get a side of lo mein, which had a great garlic flavor. You get so much food. I got a combination dinner that comes with pork fried rice (amazing) and an egg roll (crispy and also amazing). It's a nice deal. If you need Chinese takeout, this is where to go.

But our server could not have cared less about us and was aloof and cold, expressionless. Took forever to come to our table and barely checked on us the entire meal. Then, after waiting an eternity, we were both brought the wrong food. Yes, we each were served the wrong dish. We both had ordered scallops and we both got sashimi.
