Unfortunately the wings have gotten much smaller, but the flavor was still great. And the veggie fried rice is the best I've ever had! Strips of bok choy and small pieces of mushrooms only add to the flavor! Also unfortunate were the crab rangoons that had almost no filling and it wasn't just one, it was the entire box. Not sure if this was a one off, but I would like to hope so and would go again next time we're in town.

With me being Asian and my family being familiar with Asian cuisine we looked forward to trying this new restaurant. We usually do a quick scan of the clientele to see if Asians are actually dining in the Asian restaurant. Didn't see many. I may have been the only Asian in our section. Staff consisted of mix of Asians and non-Asians. Before the food came out our waiter brought over a little black plate with 4 white towelettes rolled up like little marshmallows. My youngest thought it was a marshmallow and tried to eat it. We stopped him! Coincidentally, the booth behind us had a large party of adults and one of the adults did the same. Makes for a good laugh but down the road this could be a huge liability. Osaka restaurant should change up the presentation before a customer chokes on the little towelette. We started out with scallion pancakes, egg rolls, wonton soup, and hot & sour soup. Scallion pancakes were hot, crispy, and tasty. Egg rolls were blah. No flavor and all cabbage. No protein mixed in. Wonton soup is as basic as you can get. It was delicious! However, Hot and sour soup was a huge disappointment. It was dark colored water with a slight soy sauce and black pepper flavor. Where was the sour? Where was the heat? No black mushrooms. This had to be an off night for this restaurant. Taste test the batch before serving. The entrées. My son ordered sweet & sour chicken. Without requesting separate sauce, Osaka served the sauce on the side. Perfect for my son. He likes to dip the chicken into the sauce and eat with white rice. Since the chicken was served plain we all tried a piece to taste test the quality. Actually not bad. My son finished his whole dinner. Portion was huge too. My other son ordered Mala chicken. Delicious mix of chicken and vegetables with spicy heat. Huge portion. Definitely a favorite. My husband ordered Orange Chicken. Chicken was crispy on the outside, tender inside and sauce was sweet with orange flavor. Mild spice. He devoured almost all of it. Again another huge portion. I ordered the Teriyaki beef. It came with a side of steamed broccoli and rice. I chose brown rice. This beef was so tender and tasty. Melt in your mouth kind of tender. Teriyaki flavor could have been a little more intense but not bad at all. I would definitely order this again. Huge portion served. I ended up taking half of this home. It made for a pretty good lunch the next day. We finished off our meal with a shared dessert; Fried banana with vanilla ice cream. Order this dessert!! Don't live with regret missing out on this happy ending. My overall take on this place... try it out. It's Asian food in the suburbs. Not quite Chinatown or upper mainline but it's pretty good for Asian food in Downingtown. Huge portions. Some things are hit or miss but my guess is it's just starting out. Osaka is definitely worth checking out and coming back for your favorite dishes. (The other restaurants owned with Osaka are pretty good too.)

Have been going to the Happy House for years since they opened around 2010. Before this I tried the majority of the other places in the area and can say they have the best overall food... Their General Tso is easily the best I've ever had, specifically, and I've had basically every hand roll off their Japanese menu which is reasonably priced... My personal favorite lately is the Sexy Girl Roll... This is a family run business and their employees work very hard, seven days a week. They are passionate about their customers' enjoyment of their food and will do everything within reason to meet customer satisfaction. This includes alterations and additions to menu items. Definately would recommend to others, as they have just about anything you'd want that falls under Chinese or Japanese cuisine. read more

A rare example that a restaurant can offer a nice combination of Chinese food as well as Japanese food. Both types of food are delicious, prepared in high quality and for a very customer-friendly price. The new team is a very friendly crew of honest, amiable and hard-working people. I love getting food from there. Favorites: general tso chicken or the spicy salmon rolls! read more

This is the most authentic traditional Chinese cuisine you can find in the area -- meaning, if…read moreyou're looking for generic General Tso's or orange chicken, look elsewhere. When you come to Lily's Kitchen, we're talking about seasonal food that tastes like actual home cooking with unique ingredients that are often hard to source. And if the ingredients aren't up to par for the owner, they won't serve it. So you can trust that the food will be served hot and fresh, and with high standards with Lily at the helm. It's a smaller restaurant, so if you have a larger party, call ahead and ask about reservations. They also have takeout orders, so be mindful that you may have to wait if their kitchen is inundated. Even when things appear slow on the outside, they get backordered a lot when people order special dishes. My must-haves every time I come here are the lotus root & black wood ears and the fried sesame balls (for dessert). My mouth waters just thinking about them, but there are so many delicious options. If you're unsure what to order, don't be afraid to consult the server for suggestions!

Not a fan. The pork fried rice was unusually bright yellow (too much tumeric?), but tasted good. Also had the chicken and broccoli with brown sauce. Very good - fresh - not overly salted - good portion. So not exactly the traditional Chinese stylings, but the quality and taste were there overall.
