We ordered here at Happy Take out because we had one of those nights where my girl and I just didn't feel like cooking, so she suggested this Chinese food spot down the street. It's a very small takeout restaurant, and I don't even think there's anywhere to sit and dine in, but that wasn't a problem since we were taking it home anyway. We ordered a couple combo specials. I got the Mongolian beef with chow mein and white rice, while my girl ordered the salt and pepper chicken with chow mein, fried rice. We also got some vegetables with chicken with a side of potstickers. My Mongolian beef with the white rice and chow mein was excellent. It wasn't overly spicy or overpowering with peppers, and the beef paired really well with the rice. The chow mein was a little dry, but not bad enough to ruin the meal. The vegetable chicken was surprisingly really good too. I'm not a huge vegetable person, but the sauce they used on the chicken and vegetables was a great combination. Sadly, the potstickers weren't very good. They just didn't have much flavor and were probably the weakest part of the meal. The salt and pepper chicken my girl ordered was really good as well. I kept eating off her plate. The seasoning on the chicken was so flavorful. This is now my go-to spot whenever we are craving Chinese takeout. I'll definitely be coming back again. Tip: Call ahead and pick up your order instead of ordering there and waiting. read more

It's what you want in a Chinese takeout only spot. Get the lunch combo or the dinner combo. Good amount of food and super quick. read more

Their food is amazing! I've had their chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, egg rolls, and cheese wontons. Every time I get them, the quality and taste are consistent. The service is quick. The staff are nice. Even when I get it delivered, the food is prepared so quickly! I absolutely love this place. The restaurant is small because their food is for takeout only. There's no place to sit inside. You can order at the window or call it in ahead of time. Your order will be ready within 10 to 15 minutes. They do not accept big bills and there's not a restroom available for customers. They do have a small parking lot. You can also park on the street. read more

The food is good and the portions are big. I always have enough for my husbands lunch the next day. Yummy stuff.

i have been here before and the place is super small with a small seating area to wait for the food. Doordashed some food and it came super fresh. I ordered honey walnut shrimp and peking spareribs. The spareribs were to die for! It was sweet, tangy, and saucy. The meat is super tender as well. Honey walnut shrimp was also delicious but the star of the show was the spareribs. read more

Happy Takeout - Peking rib - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Small hole in the wall place. Greeted when I walked in. Ordered the Dinner combos salt and pepper fish and the spicy garlic chicken. Both came with fried rice, chow mein, egg roll and crab cheese wonton. Order was ready in 15 min. Prob would recommend calling a head when ordering so you're not just standing around waiting. The food is decent and you definitely get a good amount for what you pay. But the amount of meat/protein that you get, I just wish they would give a bit more. For both dinners there was so much veggies, which isn't bad, but if I'm ordering a chicken or fish entree you kinda would think that would be the primary amount given. read more

I recently decided to try Happy Takeout after reading a Yelp review and wanting to explore some new spots other than my usual go-to places. I ordered the lunch combo, green bean chicken along with sides of chow mein and fried rice. Also ordered the sweet and sour pork lunch combo. First off, the flavors were great. The chow mein, in particular, was perfect--well-cooked, not too greasy, and packed with flavor. However, the fried rice was ok, it was hard and I like to have my fried rice not so hard. That said, the portions were super generous, especially for a lunch combo. You really get a lot of food for what you pay, and it felt like a good value overall. Despite the fried rice being a miss, it's a great take out spot if you're in this area. read more

Two stars for the person upfront being nice. I knew it was hit or miss with the five star or one star reviews. I was trying to feed five people so we ordered two entrées two appetizers and a noodle dish for pick up. The walnut shrimp batter was under done and just bad. I got sweet and sour for the grandchildren and that may have been the only decent item. The chow mein was sticky and bland and I don't even know if there was any meat in it.. It seems like a popular joint. It's definitely reasonably priced, but I would drive a little farther and go to Fortune. read more

Not going to lie this place frustrates the heck out of me. It's really a 50/50 chance on the food quality in terms of taste and if you get the correct order. Be aware when ordering on the phone REPEAT the order item by item, and have THEM repeat it back AND check your food BEFORE you leave. Tonight's issue, I ordered a salt and pepper chicken combo with fried rice. I made sure to say boneless chicken NOT the wings (since of course they have made that mistake before) the diner combos come with entree, rice, chow mein. You can get fried rice OR white rice. Which is why I asked for fried rice on one order and white rice on the other. Imagine my surprise when I opened both combos and had no chow mein. This was my 13th reason for the day cause come on man. Initially I just said whatever but I was starving and was really looking forward to my meal. I called and said hey I didn't get any chow mein!!! Basically the lady said oh I thought you meant only fried rice and only white rice. For Christ sakes WHY would you think that since you get to choose between rice. Super frustrating. Customer service is whatever there in terms of front staff so take all this to how you like. Is this place good food .... Depends on the day. Portions are huge and that's great when the food is good that day. As much as I enjoy grabbing a quick bite at my nearest spot this is beyond frustrating and I may need to find a new spot read more

The food is great also they have great prices for what they serve you. They always load up the plate!

Just the best! Everything was perfect. Noodles cooked perfect, flavors are spot on . Everything always great.

Came highly recommended, but disappointed in the quality. Ordered house chow mien, not knowing it came with all the meats- which tasted old, sesame chicken- not the yummy flavor you would expect. Cheese wontons and eggs rolls seemed old and dried out. Giving a 3 because the salt and pepper wings were legit! read more

We had been wanting to try this place since we found it on Tik tok. We haven't been able to find a decent Chinese food place since Hing's on Madison Avenue closed some years ago. So we drove out from Elk grove. It wasn't hard to find. When we got there we searched the menu. We found 5 items to order. The girl who took our order was nice. We ordered orange chicken, Mongolian Beef, Szechuan Chicken, beef chow mean, and broccoli beef. It was ready in 10ish minutes which was fast. When we got home, we realized that it had leaked all over the carpet in our car because they stacked 5 trays of food in ONE bag instead of giving us two bags. Now, we have to figure out a way to clean that up. We took the food inside and had to immediately transfer the food to other dishes. We also had to sift through to find the Styrofoam pieces, which was extremely annoying. Especially after spending $70ish dollars. The food was good but the way it was packaged put a sour taste in our mouths. This place seems extremely busy, they could have afforded to give us an extra bag. Now, I have to get my car carpet cleaned. I'm unsure if we will be back or not. read more

Like the name suggests, Happy Takeout is a great place to get takeout for a meal. The portions are pretty generous for the price so it can be split in multiple meals. Items ordered: - Salt n pepper fish: Not too greasy and flavor was good. Nice crisp for each piece! - Vegetable and chicken: I liked the amount of vegetables that came with the dish, decent amount of meat too. Flavor was pretty good. read more

Well I ain't writing bad reviews. I only tend to write really good or really bad reviews. Unfortunately this a bad one. Pros : Nice building Good parking Nice staff Huge portions I really was craving some good Chinese food , boy was I disappointed lol. This is not Chinese food , no disrespect but there aren't even Chinese cooking it. So there is your first clue. I ordered salt and pepper wings. It was flavorless. No salt. No pepper. The chow main and fried rice was dry as ever. No flavor. Wonton and egg roll a soggy mess. If you're on a budget and just want something to eat, then sure but if are craving real Chinese food then don't waste your time with this place. It was complete waste of my money but most importantly my time and gas. read more

Fast, lots of food, and economical... what else could you ask for? Personality, yes they are fun bunch! With many times a cartoon drawn on your takeout boxes, sometimes of you. Just right up the road from my office, this place has not let us down. We almost always get their chicken chow mein along with a few more dishes. The portions are large enough to feed a few people. and always tasty. So convenient for us as our order is usually ready in a few minutes. One night I was at a futbol match up the street and was freezing, called here for wonton soup and that hit the spot. With a few parking spaces behind the building, this is tops for Chinese grab and go food. read more

Best Chinese takeout in Sac!!! The portions are ginormous, and the food is tasty! Chow mein was on point. Noods perfectly chewy and not overcooked. Fried rice def got that wok hay flavor. I got the general chicken, and my friend got the salt n pepper tofu. Both were yums and not too salty. Dinner combo also came with egg rolls and crab cheese fried wonton - what's not to love? Read the signs. They crack me up. No fuss service. Very straightforward. Food comes out quickly. Just order (calling to preorder is a good idea), grab your food, and go home.

Door Dash Experience, so this review is solely on quality of food. I have heard from co-workers that Happy Takeout is theeee place for Chinese food. I would have to disagree. While the Salt n Pep Chicken had a good crunch and we're seasoned well with chunks of sautéed jalapeños and onions. The walnut shrimp was bland, which was disappointing because this is one of favorite dishes. I have had much more tastier Chinese food elsewhere, so for me this will be the one and only time ordering from Happy Takeout. *Open to any recommendations of future spots for me to try ;) please send them my way. Thanks for reading. read more

I found the secret to happiness in the most unexpected place using 3 simple steps. (1) Order Happy Takeout (2) Eat your Takeout Food (3) Be Happy. Had a bad day? Order some Salt and Pepper Chicken. Want to let your partner know you care? Bring them some cream cheese wontons. Want to make a happy birthday even more happy? Order party platters. I don't know about you, but some days I crave some solid American Chinese food. I don't need anything fancy. This craving will surpass soup dumplings, a ten course Chinese banquet, or even dim sum. Walking by some Chinese food chains will make my irrational panda brain tell me I need sweet and sour pork, fried rice, chow mein, and some egg rolls. I am usually disappointed and unsatisfied with most places, until I encountered Happy Takeout and their authentic American Chinese food. If you want a personal meal, you can't go wrong with the lunch/dinner specials. It comes with fried rice, chow mein, an eggroll and a cheese wonton (dinner special only). The portion is large enough to spread it across two meals or share with a friend. If you are feeding several people I suggest grabbing a carb such as the beef chow fun or chicken chow mein, then pick a few entries that your heart desires. If you have a party, Happy Takeout got your back. I call in a day ahead to schedule my pick up. Each party tray is around $45+/- and is equivalent to 5 entrees. Four to five party trays will easily feed a party of 30. We have catered our last few parties with Happy Takeout and everyone has been satisfied. Even my family members who are picky with their Chinese food love the chow mein and have been using them for catering. Their menu is extensive so here are my go-to entrees: Salt and Pepper Chicken - Crispy crunch morsels of protein tossed with garlic, onions, and jalapenos. I don't know what they do but their fried battered meat always stays crispy even when I have gotten my order door dashed. Their fish version is also great. Hot Garlic Fish - This is a dish that surprised me. The fish is fried then coated in their hot garlic sauce and tossed with veggies. My favorite of the "hot garlic" entrees and my wife's overall favorite. Broccoli Beef/Green Bean Beef - Gotta have some veggies and these are Chinese takeout staples. The other sauced fried meat dishes such as general chicken and sweet and sour pork hold up decently and is what my father in law usually gets. When it comes down to it, you do you. If something calls out to you, just order it and let yourself be happy. read more

Great value for some Chinese food that's not bad. The fried rice is dry. I've been here 3 times. My only true complaint is, when you order a beef dish, there's VERY LITTLE beef. It's takeout only, but the service is good. It's probably the best value for your money. read more

Food was good both times I tried. I'd go a third time to be sure. We had fried rice and chow mein

Good and affordable. This has been my go to Chinese spot for a while now. I live near Carmichael and always make the drive whenever I'm craving Chinese food. The food is always fresh and ready in a timely manner. I usually call ahead since they're so busy. There's no room to dine in, but there's plenty of food for leftovers. I always recommend them and will continue to support their business. read more
