Went in for lunch trying to find a good Chinese place in the area, this place was suggested by some…read moreco-workers. The place was clean, I called ahead so there wasn't a wait, but it was empty inside, except for take-out orders. It's nice that they offer an order online option and call ahead for take-out, especially for those who don't have a long lunch break. So I got the Singapore Mei Fun which was also reccommended. It was smaller than where I usually get Mei Fun from, but it was still very good. The price was a little higher than what I usually pay, but again I was satidfied with the food. It was nice and spicy, just how I like it. Also got a Shrimp Egg roll, which had half of a shrimp in it...kinda disappointing. Overall it was decent. I'd give it 3.5 stars but that's not an option. I'll probably return if I'm in the mood for Chinese, unless I find a better place around here. But for now, this is the best Chinese I've found in the area near work.

A Happy Family is both the name of this Chinese/American shop and a description of the people who…read moreown and operate it. I met both spouses during my lunch there yesterday. The mister took my order and chatted with me, and the misses served my plate of egg foo young, egg roll and fried rice, with a smile and gratitude. They have been in this location just off Brunswick Circle in Trenton, NJ for a few years, and seem to be making of go of it. The store is long and narrow, with a small dining room in front, two middle rooms that appear to be used by the family, and a rear kitchen. There is some distance between front and back, and they installed a bell for customers to use to catch their attention. I used it to get them to come out and accept my payment. The lunch was about par for the course in the metro area. All the owners must have gone to the same restaurant school, because most of the wonton houses have identical menus, and tastes. A Happy Family is no different, except that they deserve credit for making their fried rice without soup bouillon with dye to color the rice. This pile of grain looked natural, and was nicely chunky. The pancakes were full of veggies, wok fried, with a plastic cup of brown sauce on the side. It was decent. The egg roll was mostly cabbage with a few slivers of pork, but I didn't expect anything more. They have a confusing menu because of the similarity of the lunch specials, and combo offerings. Not clear what the differences are, except one costs less than $6, while the other comes in at $7.50. Not a big deal either way, but I like to know what I am looking at when ordering. A Happy Family is worth a visit if Chinois Americain is something you like. Your visit will do a lot to keep these folks pleased.

Great Chinese takeout! This is my go-to spot…read more I really like the fried scallops, and lomein options.

The customer service is regular there's not much you can do because of Covid. They don't allow people into the actual store anymore. The number is also always busy but if you go to the actual store you can order. All in all the food is pretty good and the prices are pretty regular. The lady who takes your order is cool. I think the make shift box to pay for your food is funny. I can't see the kitchen so i really don't know if it's clean or how they cook back there but the place has 4 stars so i assume it's clean and i don't actually see a rating in the door. So i really don't know wow this review went to Sh*t quick. Anyway i still eat from here the BBQ wings are delicious.

I make a habit to call ahead of time so I can hopefully be in and out. This week I picked up fried wontons, chicken wings, Singapore Mei Fun, and boneless spare ribs with house fried rice. Combo also came with an egg roll and the total was around $40. I guess that's the new rate for Chinese food and gone are the $5-6 combos.

This is another underheated, undercleaned, primarily takeout Chinese/American shop in the Capitol…read morePlaza Center in Ewing, NJ. It is very cheap for those lunch combos with fried rice, and a buck more for an egg roll. My General Tso's Chicken was okay, cut into smaller pieces and not too heavily breaded, with a decent amber sauce. On the other hand, the fried rice was a dark brown from the beef consommé in which it was made, and served hard and clumpy, with a minimum of veggies/sprouts. Had the taste of being prepared too long ago, and left sitting in the pot all day. The woman working the counter was friendly, and brought lunch to me at the table with a smile. She trusted me enough to wait until I was finished to accept payment. A mixed bag. 2.5 STARS.

First time here. Was highly recommended. Ordered sesame chicken and Mongolian beef. I will say it…read morewas a shame because the sauces were very good. However, the quality of the meat was not. The sesame chicken was pretty much little balls of fat and grizzle. When you cut them open, it looked disgusting we threw it out. No actual solid pieces of chicken.

Sorry folks, but this place is on Brunswick Avenue, Trenton, NJ, and not on Howard S. Woodson…read moreDrive. The other review on this page is either for a different place, or more likely, the earnest writer just didn't know where he/she was and picked the wrong restaurant out of the Yelp lineup. It is only a few blocks away. Not that it makes a difference as to the quality of the product. Best Food in Town is only what it says it is if living in a contrary universe, where bad is good and up is down. Maybe the joint on Woodson should file a complaint for a case of mistaken identity. Certainly, the Trenton P. D. could straighten this out. Be sure to look for the other page for this place with a accurate description of its operation.
