    Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
    Melinda H.

    Such a great little place that reminds me of Cheers!! When we were paying the owner asked where we were from and I told him KC. He said no wonder. I was like what heck? Do we stand out or something?? So I asked.... He said it was bc they had been there for four years and we had never been in! That's impressive! The owner was super nice, bubbly guy and apparently very aware of his customers! We each had a spring roll and then split the spicy beef noodle soup. Everything came out fast and super hot. The spring rolls were only 99¢, but I will say they were pretty small. The soup was a huge piping hot bowl that was really great. The restaurant was small, but we didn't have any trouble finding a seat. The only thing I'd ding them for was the lid of the fish sauce was dirty. That's one of those things that bothers me. It's just that little extra attention to cleanliness that I appreciate.

    This place is a little hidden local only gem. Really only place to eat on 4th near this area. All the flavors of everything were great. The salt and pepper shrimp was actually shockingly good. It's owned by a husband and wife and feels like a very home style place. It's not fancy and my ocd from some of the clutter in the kitchen area might drive me a little crazy, but it feels like you're eating out, but still at someone's house. In the end the food was all incredible and the service is super friendly. The only downside is the crab Rangoon is listed not crab Rangoon. There is no crab it. BUT..... that being said, they were still the best wonton cheese balls I've had anywhere near here. So it's ok. Just don't expect the crab meat or crab flavor inside really.

    Phenomenal! Bite size little purses of sweet cream cheese, crab and green onion. So worth it!

    This place deserves more attention here on Yelp. We were in Pittsburg for a local activity and needed a late lunch. I agree with another review I read, eating at Happy Family is like sitting in their kitchen and being fed amazing Asian food. We knew phô was a must try and it didn't fail to impress. Delicious and comforting. The crab Rangoon is the absolute best I've ever had and I'm not exaggerating. They are perfectly bite sized, not the big chunky kind you find on the average buffet. The egg rolls were hot and fresh, sooooo good. Finally, the couple running Happy Family are just that. Kind and welcoming. They never made us feel rushed to leave. The way a restaurant should be run. A true gem!

    Spicy Pho, has beef, pork, and ham.

We started out with two appetizers, Fried Ravioli & Popcorn Shrimp Basket. To be honest the Fried Ravioli wasn't worth ordering. Pretty much flavorless! The menu read stuffed with cheese & jalapenos. I don't think either existed in the ravioli. Had great potential but just didn't deliver. The Popcorn Shrimp was a step up and we're actually pretty good. The dipping sauce was rather strange - it seemed to be a spicy teriyaki which was okay just not a dipping sauce I expected. Maybe a choice of sauces would be a better option. Four of the 5 choose burgers and I think everyone truly enjoyed their choice. I chose the KC Special - pastrami burnt ends, w/two 1/4 lb burgers with cheese and a side of Freedom Fries. Two others chose the Heavenly Bacon and the last picked the Mushroom Burger. I think it's fair to say everyone enjoyed their burger. The lone dissenter felt the need to be on the healthier side and he went with the salmon. He described it as dry and over cooked. Luckily he choose the French Onion soup as a starter and he said it was one of the best soups he's had! Another one in the group also ordered the same and he said it was delicious. I'm mad at myself for not ordering because that is one of my favorites and can't believe I actually passed on it! Our server was GG and she was very pleasant and she was good at checking in on us to make sure we were doing okay. We enjoyed her waiting on us for our lunch meal. If we ever make our way to Pittsburg again I think I would definitely try this place again and look at trying other items on the menu!

Prices were not too bad as it was $16.99, but soft drinks are not included and you have to pay extra. They have a good assortment of food and they tell you the recipe to make some of the sauces. I ended up having a bowl full of vegetables and meat the first shot. Then, I ended up getting some noodles and making my own version of a supreme pizza which did not taste bad at all. If it does get busy, beware that it does take some time to cook the meal. If you give the cooks a tip, they do a song of some sort like at Cold Stone. Service was good and our server was friendly as they cleared out the tables fast. Even though the receipt says an extra charge, she did not charge us for it and we ended up giving more tip.

Like many restaurants in Joplin, the outside is often nothing to get excited about and as someone who works in graphic design and advertising I'm heavily influenced by presentation and packaging. Don't judge this book by the cover! The inside looks really cute, upscale and trendy with an Asian vibe but not over the top or kitschy. This is a palce I would be happy bringing clients, friends or a date night dinner. The inside would fit right in San Francisco, LA or Chicago. The menu is shorter but still has plenty of choices. I highly recommend trying the soups as they serve several traditional Thai and Vietnamese along with the typical Chinese-American soups. My wife had a beef fried rice dish and I had the beef and meatball Pho. Sort of my starter test, if they do well on the Pho I will come back and try them again. The Pho was simpler than others I've had but still very good. I thought it was a bit mild, not in a spicy hot way, but in seasoning. If your looking for a comforting warm broth on a cold day this would hit the spot. Adding a little balck sauce (always on the table) was just enough added flavor. However I felt the Pho needed more vegetables; carrots, cabbage, bok choy, onion etc. It may just be their still but although very good it was basically broth, meat, sprouts (which I love) and sweet basil (instead of cilantro). Again, it was still very good but why I only gave them four stars. My wife's dish was elegant, and I'd even say fancy. Instead of dumping everything in a big bowl and calling it fried rice each element was presented seperately and generiously. Her dish was far more flavorful and complex than mine. She honestly had made a better selection and perhaps I ordered something that was not their best dish. I think my wife would have rated them five stars. Last we also ordered the fresh translucent spring rolls with the peanuty dipping sauce. It was perfect, fresh, cool, crisp and always fun to see through the translucent wrap. The sauce was so good we wanted to eat it with a spoon after the spring rolls were consumed.
