    Amazing place great food don't be fooled by the exterior it is opulent on the inside! Service was outstanding

    Flavors were lacking in several of the dishes, even the simple vegetable stir fries. No flavor with the deep fried squid. Pricier than comparable restaurants. Average portions. Small parking lot. Seating is more than the parking lot is able to a

    We come here for family dinner and they have the best Chinese food in town! The service is always great and it's never a long wait. The inside tables can accommodate large parties!

    Appetizer combo

    Happy Dragon provided us with a nice, old-school dining experience that took me back to my childhood. A friend had discovered this place on a lunch hour exploration, and suggested it for a family style dinner destination. Each of the four of us chose an entree, (Mandarin Beef, Sautéed Green Beans, Kung Pao Chicken, and a black fungus, snow pea and yam veggie plate) and we piled on the unsurprising extras of an appetizer combo, a huge shared bowl of hot and sour soup, and rice. Service was super-quick - my friend had arrived first, and put in the order for the appetizer combo before we arrived. By the time we were putting in the order for everything else, the appetizers were arriving, and everything else began showing up before we finished the appetizers.

    Fried rice: Something about the texture of the rice I liked. It was kinda chewy and satisfying. It could have had more of a crispy, fried texture though. And it was underseasoned. I liked the way the egg was cooked though. It was light, thin, and not overcooked, if that makes sense. General tsos chicken: The chicken was pretty good. Not stringy, not dry. It wasn't too crispy though. And the sauce was disappointing: pretty sweet; too salty in a weird way; not much else. Price: A little on the expensive side. $19 for the general tsos, $16 for the fried rice. $20 for the honey walnut shrimp (for my girlfriend). Portions were normal, not the type of situation where it's expensive but portions are large enough where you have another meal of leftovers.

    Happy Dragon offers authentic Chinese cuisine that's on par with the best in Portland. We had a good meal here with salt fish fried rice (off menu) and the beef with Chinese broccoli (gai lan). Both were pretty good.

    There's potential here but needs a lot of work. Firstly no one will go if the outside looks like it does. Clean up the weeds. Wash the walls and repaint. Fix the windows. It looks like it's vacated outside. Food was great on some dishes and poor with others. Beef Chow Fun 5/5 Yang Chow Rice 5/5 Egg Flower soup 5/5 Potstickers 1/5 Avoid Walnut Shrimp: 0/5. Shocked that they tossed what felt like boiled shrimp in heavy mayo. It's supposed to be fried shrimp and a light sauce. Avoid

    Peking duck with lettuce

    We stumbled across this restaurant when we were passing through Portland. It's Friday noon and it's very quiet, just us and another table. Inside is a bit old school Chinese restaurant vibe but very clean and neat. Amble parking space right outside. We ordered the Peking duck, ginger scallion crab and beef noodles and all super yummy and authentic taste. Especially the Peking duck, there are two ways to eat, one with the soft bun and one with lettuce, super tasty! Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet spot for authentic Chinese food. This is a missing jam and will definitely come back next time visiting Portland.

The fried rice's flavor was pretty muted..I prefer a little saltiness in my fried rice and it honestly had barely any salt? It tasted like plain rice with a little soy sauce and maybe oil flavor? Just not very aromantic in general.. I disliked the Mandarin Crispy Chicken the most as I had an issue with the breading. It was very thick and each bite felt more breading than chicken..The flavor of the sauce was good but with how thick the breading was, the inside of the chicken had no flavor at all once I bit in.. Perhaps we ordered the wrong items, but I don't think I'll be back to try any others at least for now. It was a Friday night so it was busy but I'll say service was good and we had a minimal wait time!

The service was good and the staff was attentive during our visit. Here is a breakdown of what we ordered: Hand-Ripped Youpoo Noodle: The absolute star of the meal. The wide, hand-ripped noodles had the perfect chewy texture you look for. They were tossed in a deeply savory, slightly spicy chili oil sauce and topped with a generous amount of perfectly seasoned minced beef and fresh bok choy. It was incredibly satisfying and a must-order. Popcorn Chicken: This was a bit of a letdown. While it looked golden brown and came with a sweet chili dipping sauce, it was not special at all and lacked any unique flavor or punch compared to the other dishes. Spicy Chili Oil Wontons: These were packed with flavor! The wonton wrappers were delicate, and the filling was juicy. They were swimming in a robust, aromatic chili oil that had a nice kick and a touch of vinegar sharpness. Why 4 stars instead of 5? While the noodles and wontons were excellent and the service was good, the atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable. The restaurant was completely empty when we went, but it was super cold inside because the window was wide open. Between the chilly draft and the fairly generic popcorn chicken, it misses out on a full 5 stars.

We ordered the sesame chicken, zhajiang noodle homemade hand pulled wide noodles, chicken fried rice and xiao long bao. The food was ready and delivered on time. The sesame chicken was still crispy with a sticky sweet sauce. Good flavor and a good amount of chicken. The zhajiang with homemade noodles was really the highlight and huge. The noodles were amazing and the sauce had great flavor. The chicken fried rice was good with a large amount of chicken. The bao were good and pretty standard. We'd definitely return.

Typically at most Chinese restaurants, especially fried dishes, you'll see a pool of oil at the bottom of the dish. This is not the case here, and their sauces also keep their oil usage to the minimum. The food doesn't feel as heavy, and they nail most of their Szechuan flavors well. Their service is always fast and friendly. There is a gentleman in glasses that is always happy to serve and answer your questions. He is always happy to pack your food for you to go if you have leftovers as well, which is a lovely gesture. They have very cute decorations inside, from lucky cats with fortune cookies in their mouths, or a painted wall with a Panda cooking delicious food. I'd steer clear from their soup dishes, most of them lack flavor. I highly recommend their Chopped Pepper Fish and their Jade Tofu items though. Very flavorful and not very heavy! Plenty of parking is available which is lovely for eating in Portland, do not let this spot be missed if you've never tried it!
