    This place is delicious, and the portions are sooo worth it! Now, we're going to try and stop by here more often on trips! The orange chicken, was me and my boyfriend's favorite! The thai tea was also really well made! Service was great, and the person helping us was so nice! Inside is pretty casual, if you're in no rush, it's a pretty decent sit down area with plenty of tables.

    Everything we tried here was delicious!! EVEN THE RICE!! Me and my family got the butter shrimp ( yummiez), orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, jalapeño chicken, general chicken, honey chicken, bbq pork (surprisingly good), veggie egg rolls, chow mein, and fried rice (the underdog ). Portions and price are good. This is our new spot for Chinese food. Sorry . Customer service is also outstanding. :) The place was busy but it was clean and the temperature was comfortable. What more can you ask for. We will definitely be back to try more items. I hope this place stays open forever...

    Always friendly and good is always fresh. I like that each combo includes a drink and portions never disappoints. I think they have the best noodles in town and I like that there is a rewards program.

    Food is always good. Had to wait for it to be cooked. All trays empty. Staff was polite and helpful.

    Solid choice! Here is the breakdown. 1) ambiance - Christmas decor is up and it's really nice and clean inside. My only critique would be the hip hop music inside. Not really my scene. 2) service - both times I've been the servers are very nice and friendly, which says a lot considering the first time I went was for a promotion and the place was packed crazy. 3) Food - nice flavors and food portion size for the price point. Standard Chinese fast food selection and the four entrees I've tried have all been good (general chicken, orange, mushroom, butter shrimp) the noodles here are the star. Very good! All in all, a good place to eat, I hope they do well and continue to impress for years to come.

    1st time visiting and not really impressed. Food is ok and they don't give a lot of portions like other places. Not all menu was in the buns either. I only liked the chow mein. Staff were friendly and we had fast service. I liked that the drinks came with your meal.

    Cool lit up logo and sturdy chairs and tables.

    A nice place to get a to-go order or to order at the counter and enjoy their relaxing music and comfortable seating. Their tasty entrees...Bowl, Box, or Chest come with a complimentary beverage.

    I ordered the dragon bowl with orange chicken and chow mein. I loved the orange chicken. It's texture was perfect and it was the perfect amount of sweet. Mmmmm. I personally wasn't a fan of the chow mein, they had a flavor to me. My boyfriend Kail ordered the dragon bowl with teriyaki chicken and chow mein. He said they were pretty good. We also ordered the cream cheese wontons. We both agree they were very good and tasty. They prepared and got our food super quickly.

    Just went back to Happy Dragon after receiving comp coupons for food. Great food and service. Thank you for changing my mind about your restaurant and taking the time out to remedy my previous bad experience ! I will definitely be returning!

    I was slightly underwhelmed with this food, but some of it was tasty. The noodles and rice were subpar, but the entrees were pretty flavorful. The butter shrimp and peppered steak were the highlights of the show. The staff was very friendly. I would recommend this place if you wanted some decent Chinese food. I don't particularly like too many Chinese restaurants in Bakersfield, so I think that is saying something. Overall-- decent.

    Is this even a wonton
    Heather F.

    Well thought to try it out. And dad to say it's still a no for this place under new management ok. So Make the food taste better. If I wanted water. I would of not gotten soup. And the wontons to think for soup . Since under new management and so far the soup For $10. Get 3 wontons in my soup. Nope. Pathetic. Soup. And the soup no flavor at all just water and noodles why would you even serve this I'd be embarrassed.

The person who took my order seemed like she was training. She was nice and repeated my order back just to make sure, I appreciate it. When it was my turn to pull up to the window I was met by a young lady who may be having a bad day. She seemed very frustrated or annoyed. I asked how her day was with no reply. I handed her my card and she exchanged no words with me. She handed my drinks to me and closed the window. She then handed me my food I asked if I could get some ketchup and she seemed even more annoyed looking at my bag and looking at me she shoved the bag in my direction and closed the window. She then handed me three packets, as I went to say thank you she closed the window on me. I assumed she's not having a good day. When I got home the food was very underwhelming. The fries were soft and the chicken soggy. I feel like they may have changed something about it. I wanted to buy the new dog plushy and was not given the opportunity to do so. The whole thing was just really off. With all that the price is up more now . This is probably the last time we go to a canes.

    4/5 Stars - Great Food, Amazing Service, and Fantastic Entertainment…read moreMy wife and I visited Valle - Flavors of Mexico for the first time, and overall, we had a very enjoyable evening. The live entertainment was amazing--slightly loud at times, but the band had great vocals and played exceptionally well, creating a fun atmosphere. We started with, chips and salsa which were absolutely different in a good way next we had the Ribeye Sliders. You get three of them, which is practically the cost of a meal by itself, and they were very tasty. A great way to start the dinner. The onions on these were good, but they weren't grilled to my liking. I was expecting caramelized onions, and they were more like pickled white onions. Because of that, I'd give the sliders 4/5 stars. For our entrées, we ordered the Enchiladas de Mole and the Enchiladas de Camarón. My wife had the mole, and I had the shrimp (cameron) enchiladas. Both dishes were very flavorful and delicious. The only issue we had was that the mole sauce and the green sauce on the enchiladas were chilled or not even warm to the touch. Because of that, both dishes receive 4/5 stars. For my drink, I ordered the Isla, which tasted like a very strong piña colada. It was incredibly well made and easily a 5/5 stars. The highlight of the evening, however, was our server, Stacia. She was absolutely wonderful. When we received the check, we kindly mentioned that the only issue we had all night was the temperature of the enchilada sauces. We didn't bring it up earlier because we weren't sure if that was how the dishes were intended to be served, and honestly, it wasn't a deal breaker. Stacia was genuinely concerned that we had an issue and seemed surprised that we hadn't mentioned it sooner. I explained that I usually only complain if the food is horrible or if we've had an overall bad experience. Because of her concern and kindness, we were offered us dessert. I explained that I didn't really want anything because the meal wasn't bad--just not what I expected. Nevertheless, we were presented with the Citrus Cheesecake, and it turned out to be a very good cheesecake just the right amount and an good ending to the night. Truthfully, because of the one issue with the sauces, I probably would have still given this place 4 stars, but I likely wouldn't have returned. However, because of Stacia's courtesy, professionalism, and genuine care, we will definitely be back for another experience, and I look forward to hopefully updating this review in the future, with Stacia as our Server.

    I ordered the Chili Verde Burrito. Had the toppings I wanted. The Burrito was great…read more The guy who made it was very nice, very talkative, and very happy. No ambiance at all. The place is inside a gas station mini-market. HOWEVER, the Burrito was not worth the $12 price tag that went with it. The Chili Verde had great flavor, but cost $12. The pork in the Chili Verde was very tender, but cost $12. The ingredients added to the Burrito were fresh, but cost $12. The Burrito was half the size of other ones I have paid the same price for and they were worth the $12. This one was not. I have paid $150 for a meal, and not complained, but I want what I pay for. When my mind continues to think of the price I pay for something, it must not be worth it. I do not know whether or not to recommended this place. The food is good. The prices are not.
