    Chinese Donuts

    I try to come here every few weeks now, I already left a review 4- months ago but this restaurant is just TOO good to not leave another positive review! My food is always fresh and hot! The customer service is AMAZING as always as well! :) 10/10 from me!

    House Lo Mein, the best on the southside!!!
    Antwynette R.

    As others have mentioned, they have the best lo mein i've ever had on the south side! It has just the right amount of seasoning and sauce.The hot and sour soup was also good but a little too spicy for me. The honey lemon pepper wings were also good, but needed a little more lemon pepper seasoning. The shrimp fried rice had a good flavor, but they sure were skimpy on the shrimp. This is definitely a go to spot for lo mein and wings.

    Philly Cheesesteak Egg Roll
    Amber E.

    I decided to give this place a try. During this quarantine, most places aren't open b it thankfully we still found one Chinese store open. First and foremost, customer service isn't there forte. There's a young lady at the register who would not make eye contact and answered everything in a nonchalant tone. She could care less about being there. Her attitude was poor. The wings were alright but I would not come here for them again honestly. The noodles were actually pretty decent. The Philly cheesesteak roll was an alright. In all honestly, I don't think I'll be giving this place a second chance. Due to the lack of customer service and poor taste in the food. I also thought the prices were a little much. I've had so much better for a few dollars less.

    Pepper Steak Combo
    Shawn M.

    July 2022 This is my closest 'family owned' Chinese spot, really close to my house, so of course I had to try it out! Happy Dragon is quietly sandwiched between a holistic smoothie spot, an American deli type wing place, a pizza place, a grocery store, and a sit down restaurant. So it's an easy choice for anyone craving Asian food in the Wesley Chapel area. I ordered the pepper steak combo ($10.xx). -This includes chicken fried rice( unfortunately they don't add any vegetables nor eggs but lots of onions and bean sprouts) and an egg roll.I was highly satisfied with the amount of food for what I paid. -Flavors were spot on, exactly what I expected for take out, except I believe my eggroll was fried in old grease and I couldn't eat it :(. There is plenty of seating available, but the vibe is definitely more of a takeout atmosphere. There is a dedicated area for takeout supplies like duck sauce, spicy mustard, straws, forks, and a couple of fountain drink options. Service: 5/5 Prices: 5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Taste/Textures: 4/5 (egg roll needs its own grease and replaced often ) Value:4/5 Bottom Line : I'm loving this local Chinese food option, I did see they also offer seafood boils. Although there were a couple of things I would change, it's a solid decision for takeout on a weeknight, lol. Noticed that they have a philly cheesesteak eggroll so I will try that next time!

    Sweet and sour chicken combination platter

    An unassuming hole-in-the-wall, this place was admittedly not our first choice but we were impressed by what we got. The portions were huge, enough for two people, and the flavors were better than what we expected from the place. The cashier lady even gave us some free chicken after my friend spoke Canto to her!

    They have their own parking lot. Plenty of seating inside…read moreand the service was quick with the staff being friendly. They have a classic Chinese restaurant aesthetic. We got the jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup), jajangmyeon (black bean seafood noodles, mapo tofu, tangsuyuk (sweet & sour deep-fried pork), & combination seafood. We asked for both noodles to be split in half. Each order is a lot. The noodles come with a lot of seafood. Everything we ordered was amazing!

    OK, real talk: I don't usually think of dinners as bad investments but places worth trying out…read moreonce, but this one hurt so bad. Honestly, this might be the worst $80 of money I've spent in years. I regret not trusting the Yelp reviews.... I am now writing this so you don't have to make the same mistake. AMBIANCE We stopped by one evening craving American Chinese food after going to multiple solid spots across the coast...and the food menu and photos looked like most spots so we figured we'd give it a go... Parking was easy enough and when we came in, we were immediately seated in the green booths. It was clear that the place was going for a nicer, upsale Asian restaurant vibe with the booths and glass partitions (compared to the usual expectations for bare-bones takeout spots)...but the stick tables and booth furniture and lighting was a nope from me. FOOD The food looked decent and the "fast service" and good place for "cozy dates" on the website was fine, but gosh darn in this economy, the PRICE for VALUE and QUALITY at a spot like this is ridiculous. We started with the PuPu flaming platter as an appetizer for $30 and expected something more than what we got. It consisted of a few fried wontons with basically no filling, the least meaty chicken wings, and all the fried stuff was more batter or fatty unedible bits than protein. Plus, it was COLD. This platter for $30 is more show with the flames in the center than food. You could go to a fancy upscale dining establishment and have not only higher quality food but also better service AND ambiance. Then the snow white chicken at ~$18 and it was fine, kind of more dry than the usual but fine. The pork fried rice for $13.99 tasted odd to us with the mix-ins used. We also asked for an extra plate of Steamed Vegetables for $17, which and it took a good 20 minutes to show up. For how expensive it was, I kept waiting for at least one dish to redeem the meal... AND it never happened! SERVICE The service was fast for the most part. However, for the price here and the type of place, you'd expect someone to check on you. Seriously, we had to ask multiple times for extra drinks. It was hard to get anyone's attention when we needed something. It wasn't rude, just very "we don't really care...." I have NO photos on this because it was so awful. I would not return. Please spend your money elsewhere. Please don't make the same mistake we did.

My…read morecoworker always orders from Chinese Dhaba and it always smells so delicious so I was very eager to try it. For anyone unfamiliar, Chinese Dhaba is actually a type of Indian restaurant called Indo-Chinese because it's the Chinese food that is prepared Indian-style. They do have some typical "chinese" food dishes that you'd find in another American Chinese establishment, but that's not the main attraction. I ordered Chicken 65, Egg Drop Soup, Chicken Spring Samosas, Chilli Paneer, and a mango lassi. First things first, the mango lassi was absolutely delicious and I pretty much licked the cup clean. I wish the rest of the country appreciated mango lassi the way that I do. The chicken spring samosas were just okay, they seemed to be missing something in my opinion. The Chicken 65 was great, yummy little nuggets of spicy fried chicken. The chilli paneer was also just okay. The sauce tasted more like a Manchurian sauce IMO. It wasn't very spicy, my Chicken 65 was spicier than my paneer. It was still tasty though. The only thing that I categorically did not like was the egg drop soup. It was very thick and totally flavorless. I tried adding my wonton chips to it and it didn't help much. Overall a nice experience and I will certainly order again in the future as I am a big fan of indo-Chinese cuisine!

    Very disappointed. It has been awhile since my last order. During that time, they had raised the…read moreprices a little and the portion had decreased from being a tray of chicken 65 for about $12-$13. Now the portion size was decreased again and the price rose to $15. Zyka across the street also has Chicken 65 for less and the same quantity. Biwarchi also has chicken 65.
