    Kung Pao Three Delight
    Ben J.

    Went back for another takeout at Happy House. Tried their moo goo gai pan. Minced chicken in lettuce wrap, fried pork dumplings, and their wor sue gai. Moo goo gai pan was a lot of veggies and small pieces of white meat chicken. Decent but not great over rice. Mince chicken in lettuce wraps was very spicy...a little spicy.... You needed the lettuce wrap to cool each bite. The fried pork dumplings were like last time...decent filling but I just wish they would brown both sides of each dumpling. The wor sue gai was the big disappointment. Just flattened pieces for chicken battered in kind of a panko crust and fried. Gravy was watery but you needed something to dip the pieces in because the flat chicken strips were just dry. Would never order this again. HH is starting to look more like the 3-star ordinary than others claimed before on Yelp.

    Stopped in for a little pre-dinner appetizer of egg roll before heading off for dinner out tonight. Also picked-up some chicken fried rice for either late nite or for tomorrrow - whichever strikes me first! Happy House is a great little typical Chinese American restaurant with all the favorite regular menu items found in such a place and they do it up right. The food is cooked well and seasoned properly. Great prices for my wallet. They have a brand new outdoor patio dining area in the front that was poured and constructed in the Spring/Summer of 2021 just as the pandemic seemed to be abating.

    Lunch General Tso's Chicken

    Yummy!! My office is really close to Happy House Chinese Restaurant and I decided to give it a try after I tried all Asian restaurant around. It was good! I got General Tso chicken during lunch special, it comes with drink for $7.95 and it worth it even they gave only 2 pieces of broccoli. I told my co-workers to try them and they all love it, very happy that I have a good place to for lunch, plus the service was nice, food came pretty quick. I ordered online and could pickup in 10mins!

    This place was really great! The taste of the food matched the murals on the walls. Lol very good! I got the rice noodle with chicken and a spring roll. Both were great. I'd definitely come back here. There was no line or wait. The guy at the register was prompt and really nice! I LOVED the interior. Wow. Very cool. They painted a mural over all the walls including the hall to the back restrooms. It's rare and never seen in small faster restaurant such a this. Usually it's just white walls, a tv and a few tables with chairs spread out. Not here they really out did it! I should have just dined in to soak it all in! I'll definitely be back.

    Ordered out of bag from DoorDash.

    about 4 yrs ago my mom brought over dinner. It was Happy House in Grandview and I've been a fan ever since. Tonight's order was General Tos chicken, white rice, egg rolls, and WonTon soup. Ordered via DoorDash. I live on the westside of Columbus so with DoorDash I'm lucky enough to be able to have all of Grandview's foodie spots available! The food arrived on time and hot enough to eat!! General Tos chicken has an amazing sweet but very light spicy flavor. Happy House could add some heat to the dish tbh. The chicken was crunchy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside! YUM! The egg roll is standard. Happy House shines though with their Soups. Tonight was Wonton. It literally is the best Wonton I've had. The broth is smooth and flavorful, the wontons are slick pork-filled soup treats; next time I'll ask for some chives to be thrown in. happy house has amazing Egg Drop and Sweet & Sour, You can't go wrong on a cold night with an order of Chinese inspired soups.

    Black Pepper Dinner

    Wow - this Chinese takeout was G O O D! I recently moved to the neighborhood, and finding solid local takeout is always at the top of my "to-do" list after a move. I tried Happy House at the recommendation of a new coworker and was thrilled to find out that (1) my coworker has excellent taste and (2) that I can get a hearty, flavorful meal with about three servings-worth of food for about $10 (it was two servings of food for my hungry boyfriend). It did take a little while to get our food after ordering - about 30 minutes. And, the parking lot filled up while we were there waiting to pick up our food, so cars were waiting on the street to pull in as we left. So be prepared to call ahead or be patient. Also, do note that I am not comparing this restaurant to every other restaurant in Columbus. If so, I would probably sit this one at a 4/5, rather than 5/5. But on a "Chinese takeout" scale, it's a solid 5 stars.

    I arrived at noon and the parking lot was already pretty full for this very unassuming Chinese…read morerestaurant from the outside. There is plenty of free parking which is nice. When I walked in the atmosphere was great, I could smell good food and heard conversations. There's a large area with large round tables to right and to the left are booths and almost all of them were full. The menu was a mix of Americanized Chinese, traditional Chinese and included Dim Sum as well. There were a number of dishes we didn't know much about and there were dishes being enjoyed by other customers that looked delicious. The wait staff was more than happy to explain the dishes and/or show us on the menu what someone was eating. They took very good care of us and shared the tasks of bringing our food, filling water, and just checking in. Now the food. The food came out very quickly! We all received a well filled bowl of rice. First out was the string beans, perfectly cooked, not droopy, and the flavors of garlic and hot peppers. Even though the peppers were there the heat was not overpowering at all. Next was the shredded pork with garlic sauce. The textures of the pork and bamboo shoots were a nice contrast and the sauce was perfectly balanced and craveable. The special grilled lamb, I was told, was some of the best in the city. It was tender and well spiced. Even when he said he was full he just couldn't stop eating it. For the dim sum order we got the shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings, scallion pancake, and sesame balls and they brought a soy sauce and a chili oil with them. The shrimp dumplings were tender but the dough was pretty sticky. I think this is normal and they were tasty with some of the oil on them. The scallion pancakes were very thin and gummy, this is the only thing we ordered that I would not get again. The soup dumplings were very small but packed a lot of flavor. The dough did stick together a bit so unfortunately some of the soup did leak out. The sesame balls were the hit and we're just the right amount of sweetness that we considered them desert. They were large, at least 2" in size, with a wonderful sesame seed covered exterior and a soft, sweet center. Chuan Jiang Hao Zi is a wonderful somewhat hidden gem. If you want traditional Chinese cuisine including all the different offal they have it and I would totally try it here over anyone else if I was brave enough. Portions were a good size for the price. I highly recommend checking them out!

Quick and attentive service. We started with crispy dumplings (6), crispy egg rolls (2), and a scallion pancake. Bing, their crepe, wasn't available our night. My dining companions loved the pancake - for me perhaps a bit too much drizzled sauce. It was helpfully quartered when brought to the table so sharing was easy. The dumplings were indeed crispy and probably my favorite with a standard dark dipping sauce. The egg rolls were standard and perhaps a bit undersized and over fried, but a good creamy dipping sauce was a pivot away from the sweet chili sauce that usually accompanies such apps. Ramen is clearly the focus of the menu and three of us had ramen with chicken and one with pork. They spoke favorably of the broth and the combos of mushrooms, boiled egg, greens. I had the rice vermicelli with chicken that they called a salad. I was expecting the classic Vietnamese staple but this one had some adaptations, perhaps to a fusion or one might say less ethnic nod. Small things but the ample portion served in a small bowl made it hard to mix the rice noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber and chicken that is a common approach to the dish after drowning all the ingredients in both sweet sauce (nuoc cham), siracha and/or hoisin sauce. It only came with the nuoc cham. They brought Siracha when I asked for it, but I'm a fan of having these condiments on the table standard. Again, had the sense that the business lunch crowd that is probably the primary audience isn't likely to be as focused on the more authentic ingredients. The chicken was also not grilled and sliced but had a pleasant preparation. Just know it won't be the charred flavor that is so common. Finally, not to obsess on this one dish, but cutting the lettuce leaves more would enable easier chop sticks combos of the ingredients in single bites. Overall it worked for us. I am definitely the most focused on (my companions would say obsessed) on connection to what these dishes should be. If adaptations work well for you, Tiger+Lily likely will as well.

Plus, I figured hibachi can take awhile, and I usually don't have a long time for lunch. Today I had a little more time, and I made a point to head over. It is a bit out of the commercial sprawl at the corner. Look for the food truck, that's the first thing I saw, and it helped me find where to turn in. I wasn't sure if there would be dine in, but there is, plenty of seating inside and out. Inside there are seats at the counter, plus booths, plus I think a couple tables. Menu is pretty basic: hibachi and a few sides. I got steak and chicken, with fried rice, and you pick two vegetables so I picked cabbage and bean sprouts. You get a Yum Yum sauce, and you can add others, but I didn't need them. And the sauce container they gave me was plenty big. The steak was tender and perfectly cooked, the chicken was tender and flavorful, cooked in a nice sauce. The fried rice was great. The vegetables were perfectly cooked. And it all came out in about five minutes. They had a steady stream of carry out customers, but they still got mine on the grill, apparently as soon as I ordered it. Fast and good, and competitively priced for hibachi. A big portion, but not a huge, two days' worth of leftovers portion. But I was stuffed and couldn't finish it all. When I saw the drink cooler with just water and a few juices, I figured I'd have to go with those, but they do have fountain drinks. And they actually have a pretty good variety, cola, diet cola, cream soda, blueberry, cherry I think, and a few others. Anyway, several pleasant surprises, the food lived up to its reputation, I was in and out fast, and for not a whole lot of money in this day and age. I will be back.
