    Cozy older Chinese restaurant. Super friendly and fast service! The food was exactly what we were wanting and never disappoints. Will always recommend as a go to Chinese restaurant! Very nostalgic!

    The pot stickers used to be so good. Now they're undercooked and the meat inside is raw. Portions are big so I took my leftovers home and found a bug in them!! So gross, never again.

    Great food. Best Chow Mein in town. Well established and family owned. Despite construction they're still here.

    I am sad to see low ratings for my favorite chinese food restaurant. I have been ordering take out when I come through town, but last night I grabbed my mom and went in and sat down for a lovely dinner. When I say I have been eating at Happy Dragon for years, I mean over 30 years. We use to have the lunch special when we were in high school! Ownership has changed a few times, but I find the quality to be the same. My mom and I sat down a bit early for dinner. We had the dining room to ourselves for most of dinner. There were a handful of people that came in to order to-go and one gentleman that had dinner in and ordered the same thing to go. He raved about how good his plate was. We ordered the Chef's Special for the two of us, hot tea for her and iced tea for me. Our fried prawns and crab puffs came out first with a side of sweet and sour. Then some wonton soup was dropped on our table. Great flavor from the broth. Then came out the sweet & sour pork, pork chow mein, and pork fried rice. The service was fast. We ordered a soup to go and that came out about the time we were wrapping up. Took plenty of food home with us as the portions were huge. I thought our dinner was excellent, still my favorite Chinese food! There is construction going on outside, the shopping center is old and dated, they are doing roof repair. The interior of Happy Dragon is nothing special, but adequate for a good hot meal.

    Mongolian Beef Over Rice Plate

    The food really is really good, the Mongolian beef is my favorite item to get. As well as the foil chicken. The service is also good and quick. Definitely Recommend this place to everyone

    Lemon Chicken

    Although the Honey Walnut Prawns were delicious, my second dish, Lemon Chicken was a great disappointment. I expected to get lemon sauced chicken, instead I got deep fried chicken strips with 2 thick cut lemons on top!

    The best Chinese food I've ever eaten. It was fresh, big portions and delicious. The service was very good and welcoming. I love the quietness and the cleanliness. All the food is affordable compared to other places and much better quality. Try their food you will love it and you will also be helping them out because almost no one goes here which is a shame since they have the best Chinese food. I hope you also enjoy it just like I have

But we decided to dine in this time. We got the seafood sizzling rice soup, pineapple fried rice, chicken chow fun, honey glazed prawns, and the bbq pork buns. This soup is just all around satisfying. The sizzling sound just entices you to get a bowlful. The broth is clean and savory while the sizzling rice adds nuttiness. There's a few pieces of shrimp and veggies that round out the flavors. Honestly, I could just have the broth and the rice and would be totally satiated. The honey prawns are a crowd favorite. They're creamy, crispy, and sweet. The pineapple fried rice is also a favorite with its sweet and savory notes. The chicken chow fun had deep umami flavor from the soy sauce. The noodles were chewy and the chicken was surprisingly moist despite how thin it was sliced. The steamed bbq pork buns were okay. The bun was yummy with a nice fluffy texture. But the bbq pork lacked the sweet smoky flavor I expect. Tracy does not have a lot of dim sum options, but I would skip this even if I was craving it. Service was really friendly and we got our food fast. The vibes are pretty casual - just a typical mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant. It's a pretty large space, though, so you can definitely bring a large group. But overall, the dishes here at Mei Mei are really good. We dined in and it seemed there was a customer every 10 minutes picking up their order.

(We have eaten a few times at dinner but I was curious as to how different would the lunch be but it didn't appear any different, but then it could have been the Memorial Day special is the same as dinner offerings). I used to be able to eat a ton at buffets but I'm much older now and usually one full plate is enough. I tried a little of each of my favorite foods, ribs, dim sum, fried shrimp, walnut shrimp, bok Choy, green beans, salmon, egg rolls, Mongolian beef, stuffed shrimp, sushi and dessert watermelon and a creamy strawberry dessert! Wow, it was all very good, I would have liked to go for seconds to try more different foods but I was full. Gohan is a really great deal considering that Vegas buffets cost you $80 plus for a feast like this. If you love Asian food and especially seafood, this is the place to try! They have plenty of seating and the table staff are on top of clearing off dishes from your table.

I didn't notice until I got home because the lid was clouded from condensation. Because I live far away, I called about it and offered to send a video. Instead of offering a refund, they said they'd allow me to come back for a new pie. I called months later to pick up the replacement pie since I was going to be in the area. They said they were out of buko pies and I could choose another--they apparently only had pies available at a lesser value and would comp with senorita bread. I also received a phone lecture from Joy (through Carmela) that this wouldn't be allowed next time... I'd prefer not being sold a moldy pie next time. Thanks! Upon pick up, they only offered the cassava pie ($7), even though buko pies were in the display. No senorita bread given as promised. Condescending service. They'll sell you food that can make you sick and make you out to be in the wrong. In retrospect, I shouldn't have bothered over $12. Ling Nam, please double check your fridge temperatures and throw out pies once they're old. Or sell them frozen.
