      So, I don't understand what people are thinking when they expect miracles out of Chinese places like this. C'mon folks, it's a chain Chinese place located in a strip mall...it's going to be typical fast Chinese food. That's that

      Personally, of course I've had better Chinese food, but you know what's awesome about this place? It's super fast, consistent, and pretty decent for the price. I'm always going to get what I'm expecting there and that's what matters to me. Solid three from me. Lower your expectations, folks, for real. This is not a 5 star establishment nor is it meant to be.

      Had a hankering for some "Americanized" Chinese food so I stopped in for some chicken and broccoli and an egg roll. The egg roll did not have a lot of flavor but the chicken and broccoli was just how I like it. Fried rice was bland by itself but was good with some soy sauce added. Lunch took about 4-5 minutes to cook, so fast food was good to get!

      Beware... They add a lot of sauce and it ended up spilling out of takeout container and into the bag and than my car. Next time I will make sure that I keep the container flat so I don't have that problem.

      Restaurant looks pretty old but is pretty big. Bathrooms were clean but restaurant was a little grimy. I asked the owner for a menu and she said but we have a hue menu right here. I told her I wanted to bring it home Nd she did give me a huff and puff before handing it over. I do see the attitude others were talking about.

      Stay away from this place. The food is okay but they are so disorganized and they continue to tell lies to everyone. It will be ready in 10 min and an hour later the food isn't ready. When the phone rings they continue to tell people 10 min. It is not worth the hassle.

      Super super rude lady who answers the phone could not understand what I was saying, which is ironic, so she thought it was good customer service to just hang up on me. And after reading the rest of the reviews it's appears her rudeness is not an isolated incident. We have ordered from this location at least once monthly for 20+ years. We are going to try out the 173 location now.

      Disgusting. Worst Chinese we've ever had for delivery. Whoever answered the phone was rude and refused to take their own coupon.

      The delivery person made a carbon copy of our credit card. What is this, 1980?


      Oh, and my food was as red as a maraschino cherry. Did I mention it was disgusting?

      I would prefer to rate this as, 0 Stars. Food is okay but for the rudeness and non caring of the woman ( possible owner) makes it not even worth the price. I made the mistake of being non specific with my Szechuan triple crown order as far as, rice, white rice, noodles or whatever. It is under menu several different ways. It came with rice but I am mistakenly didn't inform them that I wanted noodles. The lady very rudely said that it's my fault that it was ordered that way I stated maybe she should have asked what I wanted it with, I asked either way how much would it cost to make up some noodles for me I will come back and get those and pay. She said they don't do that you have to order the whole Triple Crown noodles. I ended up hanging up on her after a little more conversing. Chef Chen is only 2 more minutes away cost a little bit more but at least is friendly and the food is definitely better. I think from now on Chef Chen will be my place to go. Good luck "Unhappy Wok".

      The food is just so-so, to be expected from Chinese fast food. But it is close and quick. I am assuming it was the owner that took care of me most recently when she acted like I was inconveniencing her by coming in to order food. The time before that, I ordered told the girl I was going next door to get some things at the grocery store, then got lectured when I got back because the food was ready and I wasn't there. I am open for other options for fast food Chinese for sure.

      Although this is not authentic Chinese food I love this Happy Wok. I've been coming here for years and I don't have any complaints about this place. I brough my wife here on one of our first dates so we have that memory that makes it good too. The best seat in this little place is in the front room (the original restaurant). Everything that I've ordered here is great! Before I was married I would come here once a week. Now that we're married we come here once a month because of the busy life but if we could we would still come once a week!
