To be honest, we had avoided this place for our six months of living here, only because it LOOKED…read moresketchy on the outside. We craved good Chinese food that wouldn't hurt after we ate it, but in our searches for Chinese food, we always showed up at places, and they would be closed. But one day... we got desperate. We were going to try the other Chinese place in Sparta, but they were closed, too. So we decided, what the heck? Let's drive thru and try it and take it home. That's about when our lives changed. The lady at the window was very kind, a general chicken , a hunan shrimp, 2 egg rolls, and 4 rangoons was $18 (cheap for how much GOOD, quality food you're getting), and when we took it home 15 minutes away and sat down to eat it, it was still freshly hot. And was THE BEST Chinese food we've ever eaten. And we've tried a lot of Chinese places in our US travels and moves. We immediately texted all our fam nearby and said, "this is the place, go support them." It's a diamond way out in the middle of nowhere, and one we weekly visit, bringing home amazing food to eat in the coziness of our own home. And it doesn't leave us feeling like we ate fake food our stomachs will yell at us about later. Not to diss the other Chinese food place in Sparta-- but we did end up trying it out, and it ended up being the worst Chinese food we'd ever had. We didn't even finish our meals, or save them. Go to Ha's, always. You won't be disappointed.

We love Ha's. They're super sweet and food is made quickly, hot and fresh every time. The chicken…read moreis breaded perfectly and has good seasoning. I wish the fried rice were a bit more "fried". It is more like white rice with a touch of scrambled egg. Still good tho. Egg rolls are decent too, not too much cabbage. Overall for a quick Asian meal, it hits every time. I highly recommend!

I woke up Wednesday morning with a migraine, so I hadn't eaten ALL day. The one thing that sounded…read moregood was Golden Dragon's egg drop soup. It is the best. Loaded with plenty of egg whites, green onions, a deep brothy flavor, and best of all some extra protein with the chicken they add in theirs. I also really enjoy their fried rice. They put in fresh bean sprouts which adds that freshness and crunch. All we ordered was 1 order of beef fried rice, 1 order of chicken egg drop soup, and 2 sprites. Totaling a little over $20. An affordable meal for two, as we can split those two items and still have food leftover. So good sized portions as well. Golden Dragon has been a staple in the Ozark area ever since I was a kid. I was reminiscing that night sitting in the drive through, talking to my son about a time when I remembered when they were dine in and had a buffet! He had no idea that they were a full blown restaurant once upon a time. I say all of this as a prelude to once we got home and opened our order. We DIDN'T order any vegetable spring rolls, but they had thrown in a little bag of them just for us. This may have been a small gesture on their part, but it really made me smile and feel better from a day that was not so great. So THANK YOU to whomever there that threw in that sweet little surprise. Your food is good, but I think it's the small acts of kindness like this that keep such a loyal following to your establishment.

After a 30 min wait the food came out. The sizzling pepper steak came out very hot and sizzling but it was incredibly oily. It was well seasoned, but way too oily. After we finished it, there was a puddle of oil remaining. The braised beef noodle was decent, and it was not special in any way. The restaurant was fairly clean, although the tables were packed tightly to fit the most amount of people. Our server was attentive, refilled our water frequently even though the restaurant was packed, and knew both mandarin and English. Overall I was mostly satisfied with the experience, but I would wish the food was less salty and greasy.

Meanwhile, they had literally just seated other customers moments before us. Every sign on the door and online indicated they close at 3:00 PM, so refusing service 25 minutes early made absolutely no sense. If the kitchen stops taking customers before closing, that needs to be clearly posted. Otherwise, customers should reasonably expect to be served during advertised business hours. The inconsistency and poor customer service were frustrating, especially after making the effort to come in before closing. Definitely not a welcoming experience.

TV: timed in to kids programming and loud at any point and time. Kids: the daughter is quite enough. But the son talks out loud....saying what he's seeing on TV....non-stop....and I mean non-stop. And he is loud, fast talking....and oh, did I say loud? And this is how this place was on this visit. Read my other review, where the owner; which was our waiter one time in the past; never put the daughter down; as he took our order or served us. And the daughter was sick and a snotty nose that was snorting around like all get out! Service: They are never organized or attentive at all to the sit in customers. Tables always sit dirty. And if you eliminate the two tables...the owner's kids dominate...I think that only leaves (4) total tables to manage. And I sit there...and see multiple Door Dash orders get messed up and/or take forever. This last time, a Dasher left after waiting forever. The new owners may be nice or well intended. But...they have ruined this place...for all the wrong reasons.
