    Located on Hacienda Blvd & Glendora Ave in the Hacienda Plaza by CVS with plenty of parking. Growing up in LP, this was a favorite for our family when it came to Chinese food. We've been coming here since the 90's and still love it. Same great genuine service and yummy food. Portions are very generous and do not compare with any other place I've tried. My favorite entree here has been their BBQ Pork and Orange Chicken, but honestly, I've enjoyed all their entrees. They also have party trays available for events. It has always been a great experience at Happy Wok, and I will continue to enjoy my childhood favorite place when in town.

    This is one of those places where people on social media video and boast about how much food they give you especially for the price. And, they are owned by Chinese folks so the food is more traditional than not. Major call out... CASH ONLY so bring cash. The two items combo is the best deal. They also use egg noodles for the fried noodles which I prefer.

    1 item combo $10.88.  Deal!

    Tasty, friendly, popular, huge portions! The gauge of the chow mein noodle is fine and al dente vs the thicker softer type. A welcome alternative. The stir fried rice bore a welcome char and good salty taste. The cashier (cash only) was friendly and engaging. (BTW - That dracena needs water and fertilizer). Also the faded waterfall pics somehow fail to evoke the full China effect.... Can we get a neon dragon ? There's also - unlike most quick Chinese spots - a restroom. To rest.

    My rice and some kind of hair

    I was in there yesterday 9/12 I got rice kung,pai chicken and beef and broccoli and found some kind of hair in my food this is the first time that I have found something in my food up until yesterday it was my favorite place to eat will not be eating here again

    2 Item Combo - Chow Mein, Mushroom Chicken, and Hunan Mixed Vegetables

    What can I say, it's a no frills Chinese fast food place. You get bang for your buck and it is quite filling. The service here is quick and easy, but nothing fancy. It is definitely a mom and pop shop type of business so the aesthetics of this place is nothing to be thrilled about. The food is plentiful and quite tasty. Sometimes I just want to quick and greasy Chinese fast food.

    Superior Korean fried chicken place. Always so crispy and juicy…read more Free pickled radish and cabbage. The best ones are the boneless honey soy and signature. I love their fries but wish it had more seasoning salt on it. Usually pretty dead at night. All the times I've gone even during the day I'm the only one there.

If you check in (which I did), you get a free serving of either French Fries or Shaken Fries. We got the Shaken fries. I was pleasantly surprised by the serving size of the fries! I was expecting it to be a small portion, given that it was free, but it looked like we had been given a full serving. My friends and I ordered crispy garlic (half chicken) and crispy signature (half chicken). Signature sauce was my favorite! The garlic sauce was also good but I felt like the garlic flavor was a little too strong. We were stuffed by the end. Our meal cost a total of $45 (including tip). That divided among the three of us meant my meal amounted $15, which I thought was very reasonable considering this economy. I also ordered takeout for my family. I didn't ask for the sauce on the side, thinking that the chicken wouldn't get soggy in thirty minutes (the time it took for me to get home), but unfortunately it did. Because of this, I would recommend asking for the sauce on the side (only certain sauces are available on the side). Getting crispy instead of original also helps to prevent the chicken from getting too soggy. Of note, our waiter accidentally charged us for the fries. We caught that and she apologized and reversed the charge for us, so it was all good. But I would just recommend that you double check your bill, especially if you checked in. My friends and I also thought the music in the restaurant was too loud and we had a hard time hearing each other talk. If others agree, maybe it would help to lower the volume of the music a few notches. EDITED FOR TYPOS

    Came here on a Friday Night to watch a Laker Game…read more The Owner, Diablo was extremely friendly and frequently went around the place to check on customers. You can tell he cares about the customer experience and holds a high standard when it comes to that. The servers were very nice as well. Their wings are very juicy and blows BWW and Wingstop out of the water. Their sauces are served on the side instead of tossed with the wings, so you can control how saucy you want your wings to be. Mango Habanero was my favorite. They also offer authentic Chinese/taiwanese cuisine ( kind of random i know, but definitely a nice surprise if you have a craving outside of bar food) There are also pool tables + Karaoke

The reason I still paid for my check is because by the time all this happened I had already ate my dumplings and 80% of my food so who knows if anything was in my soup... but it wasn't worth the fight since the new staff barley spoke English and I'm just not a confrontational person so sad to see this place constantly changing out management and never having consistency... the food the only reason I enjoyed going here but sad to say I won't be going back after this...

    Delicious Korean style chicken sandwiches!…read more They also have chicken wings and tenders and you can order their sandwiches on their own or as a combo with a drink and side. Sides include: fried dumplings, fries, creamed corn, or coleslaw. I ordered ahead for pick up and everything was nicely warm and ready for me when I arrived. I got the: 1) Creamy Garlic Chicken Sandwich: -You get the choice of either dark thigh meat or chicken breast and I went with dark meat. You usually don't get to make this choice for chicken sandwich places, so this was nice. It cost a bit extra for them to make it with chicken breast, FYI. -It comes with a generous portion of their Mom's garlic sauce which was rich and creamy without tasting too harshly garlic tasting, lettuce, onion, and pickles on a buttery brioche bun. -Chicken was moist on the inside and the breading was very lightly crispy. -I want to say this is better than most of the fast food chicken sandwiches out there if I were to make a power scaling tier list . 2) Mochi Ball (2 pieces): -SUPER YUMMY snack. -If I had to categorize this into a fried ball category, outshines the mochi ball at mochi donut places, the Cinnabon balls at Taco Bell, and donut holes for sure. -Good amount of powdered sugar and the exterior is sweet and crispy and the insides are chewy and sweet with the mochi. I can easily down an entire bag of this if there was an option to get more than 2. Would definitely come back to try more of their menu!

    I absolutely adore this place that I recently discovered while driving around my new work area…read morelooking for delicious options. Mom's Touch sits in a small center near several businesses and near the freeway and they have plenty of parking which is nice. The ladies working here at the front are always very sweet and friendly and the menu (although) simplistic in nature has enough variety to appeal to most people. Mom's Touch primarily features sandwiches and wing options from garlic to soy to BBQ to fuego (hot) and more. They even have a shrimp fillet option for those who enjoy shrimp. My go to choice has been the white meat chicken sandwich with the creamy garlic sauce and it is amazingly flavorful and cooked perfectly. I do not remember what all of the side options were for the combos but the french fries are always a good choice and are cooked crispy and taste great as well. The pricing here is also quite reasonable in today's world and I feel satisfied with the size and portions given. My only gripe is I have wanted to try the Cheese'n option for the sandwich and it is always sold out or unavailable when I come in so I am not sure if its just bad luck and timing on my part or if this is being removed. Overall I am a fan and hope to be back many more times to come

I was shocked by the amount of low reviews and overall low rating. I don't get the low ratings regarding price since it's a chain! Now for service, that's valid. My personal experience doesn't reflect that. This is a family friendly restaurant with more of a bar feel. There were multiple families dining since they do have their bar area vs dining area. Our server Jeremy was very friendly and attentive. We got sat down right away and we asked for happy hour menus. He kindly brought them and gave us time to look them over. We ordered a couple of beers from the happy hour menu and a buffalo chicken dip to start. The dip was delicious with plenty of chips to enjoy with. It had a kick to it but not too spicy. We really enjoyed it and will be ordering it again. We also placed a wings order and played extra for all flats. The veggies were good but on the smaller portion size. The wings were delicious! They were fresh and juicy in the inside. They had enough sauce on them where they weren't dry and they weren't drenching. I do prefer them a bit more saucy but they were still good. Overall this was a relaxing casual meal before heading to the movies.

Sweet potato crust is a game-changer; I want to try making it after eating it here. The potato pizza itself was delicious and unique. Potato was soft and marinated well with the bulgogi, ham, and corn. But sweet potato crust just elevates things. Sweet and savory, perfect.
