Two Items Combo Plate Beef with Broccoli, Kung Pao Chicken and Chow Mein
Kassandra L.

We tried this place for the first time on a Sunday evening. There was a good amount of people picking up orders, which led me to believe that the food was yummy. The place itself is small and only has about 3 tables, I'd recommend getting your food to go. As far at the menu goes, you can pick a combination plate (which is the same concept as Panda Express) or you can order individual items. One huge perk of this place is the portions are no joke, you definitely get a bang for your buck. The food on the other hand was just okay. It was a bit too greasy for my liking and lacked flavor.

Mushroom "chicken"?

Y'all stay lying... this was a waste of money. I tried based on the reviews and I had to keep checking the address to make sure I had it right. I ordered teriyaki beef, beef broccoli, mushroom chicken, and chicken fried rice. The rice was not bad. The entrees however were full of veggies. Yes, we need veggies, but can you add a little meat too? The chicken really threw me off. I guess it's boiled because there is no browning what so ever it's just white fatty meat and it was not appetizing. The rice was okay, and the flavors were meh and I would NOT compare this place to Panda. Not for me.

The extensive menu
Obese T.

Typical fast food joint selling Americanized Chinese food. Let's review the basics: it's a small place, maybe holds 20-30 bodies. Chairs are sturdy for wide and large bodies like mine, and they have half booths with moveable tables. The portions are CRAZY HUGE so one 2 item meal can easily feed three children and two adults. If the extensive menu is missing something you crave, ask and they may be able to prepare it for you. I wish I could rave about this place because the food is good, but it's ordinary. I can tell you though, that this is the place you order from when you're feeding a crowd and you don't want to cook.

Happy Wok might look like a little hole-in-the-wall, and the area can feel a bit sketchy at first,…read morebut trust me, it's absolutely worth it. I happily drove 30 minutes just to try their Mongolian beef, and it did not disappoint. The flavor was incredible and exactly what you want when you're craving classic Chinese comfort food. They also have great options if you're vegetarian. The orange tofu is so good and a perfect plant-based take on a Chinese classic. On top of the food being delicious, the people there are super friendly and genuinely wholesome. It's the kind of place that reminds you not to judge a spot by the outside. If you're looking for really satisfying Chinese food, Happy Wok is definitely worth the drive.

I recently tried Happy Wok on a whim from my usual spots within the local area for lunch and glad I did as it's become my recurring visit nowadays. The black pepper steak has always been good and served warm and steaming. Texture is great in my eyes for the beef when paired with the rice though those that prefer less of the gummy sauce feeling like soy sauce may not like it as much. Bell peppers with the onions are a nice combo when cooked properly (and these are as I don't taste the acidity of either vegetable and get a nice crunch each bite). Service is akin to a fast food restaurant and not so much dine-in so perfect for anyone on the go like I mentioned. Seating is plenty for a small dining area (especially at the periods I go, it's usually not busy). All in all, I recommend checking out Happy Wok if you are within the area!

The reviews and the food looked good. I was expecting a small mom-and-pop place, and that is…read moreexactly what I got. It was a smaller establishment, and it was packed, but I was seated right away. I knew what I wanted, but I still took the time to read through the whole menu. As you know, I always order extra to have food for the week. I ordered veggie egg foo young, fried shrimp, and potstickers. I asked the server what veggies come in the egg foo young. She replied, "All of them". I guess I wasn't really paying attention at the time, or maybe I was just thinking about all the veggies I was used to. Either way, I wasn't prepared for what I got. The food came out slowly, and I was hoping they forgot about the potstickers. . . lol. . . they didn't As always, I tried to eat all the shrimp first, because fried shrimp does not heat well in the microwave, and I didn't want the room to smell fishy. The shrimp was hot and crispy, but some of it wasn't clean. The potstickers looked burnt, and I think I only ate 1 or 2. I took the rest back to the hotel, hoping they would taste better later in the week. To my surprise, they did. Now for my favorite thing. . . egg foo young. These three huge patties were brought to the table, and I thought to myself, "What the heck is that?" I tell you, when she said ALL the veggies, she meant ALL the veggies. There was broccoli, onions, celery, mushrooms, I think a carrot, maybe zucchini (don't remember, so maybe not). I picked through everything looking for bean sprouts (I don't think I found any). I probably ate 1/4 of one and took the rest with me. I didn't get to eat the egg foo young. I was approached by an unhoused individual asking for money. I didn't have any cash and offered him the food. I hope he enjoyed it. There were things people were ordering that looked really good. I think if I am in the area again, I would be back to try something else.

Dropping a 5-star review to help this little hole-in-the-wall!…read more I've seen this place a few times when shopping in the area and always wondered what it was all about. Today, I decided to give it a chance, and I'm so glad I did. I'm giving this place its flowers mostly because of the hospitality I received. From the moment I walked in, the employee working front of house was SO NICE. We were greeted with warmth and promptly seated. Waters came out quickly, and after ordering, aforementioned employee offered us complimentary soup. Throughout our dining experience, the way he treated us told me, "I'm glad you're dining with us, and I want to make sure you come back." He thanked us profusely for coming in and said goodbye a couple times. I just love when the customer service shines. The interior is super clean. All the furniture is in good condition, tables and floors were immaculate, and the decor was tasteful. There's enough seating for probably 12 groups, maybe more. Each table has napkins, soy sauce, and Sriracha, which I appreciated. The most expensive dish I saw on the menu was $16.95. Considering we're living in a time when you can easily spend that much in a drive-thru, I knew I was going to be happy with whatever I chose. I got two entrees: Mongolian beef and orange tofu. We were served complimentary egg drop soup, which was delicious. We were also provided a generous amount of white rice, and I'm assuming since I ordered the beef extra spicy, he also brought a side of chili oil, which made me extremely happy. When the entrees came out, they were hot off the wok (or flat top... who knows) and ab-so-lutely delicious. The Mongolian beef had a lovely sauce and lots of onions, both white and scallions. My only criticism is that the beef itself didn't have the trademark crispy texture. Maybe they didn't use enough cornstarch or didn't let it crisp up enough before adding the other ingredients. Even so, it was good and tender. The orange tofu stole the show, though. They successfully got the outside nice and crispy, and it held up in the amazing orange sauce. I didn't choose this dish, but I will absolutely get it again. For less than $30 before tax and gratuity, two people ate until full AND we left with two heaping boxes of leftovers. Our waiter even offered us additional rice to make sure we had enough to go with our leftovers. We had plenty, but it's another great example of the abundant hospitality. This wasn't the most amazing pan Asian cuisine I've ever had. However, it surprised and delighted me that it was so good for the value. That coupled with the service will absolutely ensure I go back.

Decided to give this place a try based on some of the ratings that I saw on Uber Eats. I placed an…read moreorder for the house chow mein and I upgraded it and made it a combo so I got a cream cheese wonton some soup and an eggroll for 4.50 extra. The wonton and the eggroll were really good and flavorful. The soup was very lackluster. It was supposed to be like a egg drop soup with corn in it. It was very gamey. The chicken in it was just gross. The house chow mein was decent. The sauce was good. The noodles were good. The shrimp was good. The chicken was good, but the beef was very lackluster. It was big chunks of hard beef that you could not chew on. I had to throw those out. It just wasn't a good either choice. I'll give them another shot, but it's very lackluster and disappointing for the price.
