Had the "dinner portion" General Tso. Good portions, came with sweet & sour soup, wonton chips, an egg roll, a crab rangoon, and pork fried rice. Price was $17.38 with tax. S&S soup is delicious. Mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and tofu pieces. Wonton chips are fresh and not stale. Crab Rangoon's filling had almost no distinct flavor but the texture was good, as well as the perfectly crispy wrapper. Egg roll was ok, again fried to perfection but the filling flavor was non-descript. Pork Fried Rice came automatically with the dish. It's good. I think it's a specialty of theirs which is why it was standard (as in, customers automatically opt for it) and not plain white rice. I'm not sure if it was an upgrade charge or not. It was just automatically entered. General Tso chicken tastes like funnel cake. Powdered sugar flavor, fried bread, slight honey or vanilla. Hint of pepper. It's very tasty but not what I think of when I think General Tso. Overall this is better than some Chinese restaurants in the area. I honestly cannot say one is head and shoulders above another. We usually do Yun Long because we know what they're good at and what they're not, and Yun Long is consistent. We really like Ichiban the best but that is all the way in Picayune. Give them a shot. Do a small meal to make sure you like them. My wife and I shared this one rather than getting two full meals from a restaurant we've never tried. It filled us both up! read more

This was the saddest and nastiest food ever. You can tell the food wasn't fresh and that they use frozen ingredients. I've tried this place 3 times so far and each time it gets worse. If you are thinking about eating here please do yourself a favor and find a different place. Trust me you will thank me later. read more

Tucked into the strip mall by CVS in Diamondhead we've enjoyed their food for several years. Flavorful hot soups, crispy appetizers and nicely printed lunch specials and dinner meals full of vegetables and proteins... The staff, even when busy, have been polite and helpful... read more

This is the best Chinese buffet Ive ever been to. Fair prices for large potions, great service, and amazing hours so you can visit anytime. The food also comes out extremely quickly so you never have to wait very long. I would 100% recommend giving them a visit, you won't regret it. read more

I went to eat the other night . I ordered the general two chicken it wasn't so good . It used to go years ago the lady must have retired . The guy was rude read more

The man was friendly and accommodating in the beginning however, when the food arrived it was OVERLY, UNBEARABLY, SALTY! When we told him it wasn't edible, he first asked me how to fix it. When I didn't have an answer, he said I should've asked for NO SALT! Are you kidding? I paid for the appetizers, tip and left the food. read more

Average at best, the quality of the food was marginal and everything tasted the same won't go back

not friendly and not consistent meals that they serve. EGG FOO YONG is the worst. Old owner was friendly and always made you feel welcomed. Many people came just to be greeted by her. Felt like home. read more

This spot has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. The woman running the joint is an absolute angel:-) Im always impressed and feel at home everytime I eat here read more

Delicious food great service, friendly people, nice relaxing meal. The grandchildren love this place.

Not as good as it used to be, food is rather bland and salty. Hot and spicy soup is still on point. Service is good but not as friendly as momma was. Over all good, but room for improvement read more

Steadily has traditional American Chinese food. I always get the hot and sour scout.

We have been going here before and after the new management. The food is hot and portions are huge. Can't disappoint

Very good Chinese food. Had lemon chicken - delish and big servings. Excellent service with a smile and served in a timely manner. Very clean. Booths and tables. read more

Great food. Generous portions. Nice atmosphere. Clean restaurant with a polite staff. Very nice would recommend.

Service is good but the food was not. I've had better Chinese food at the buffet in Waveland.

We love the food and service here. Very friendly service and great lunch specials. A local favorite.

Stopped at 5 Happiness Restaurant in Diamondhead to get my daughter just a cup of lo mein. They wanted almost $11 for a cup of lo mein!

I'm originally from NYC, so I guess I'm used to "real" Chinese food from Chinatown, but I must say I do enjoy Five Happiness! If I can't get the real deal - I'll take Five Happiness! read more

Sweet family running this restaurant! The owner will make you feel beautiful, seriously, and remember details about your life. If I send my teen daughter in for pick-up, she tells her she hasn't seen me in a while and for me to come in next time. I tried to order 4 dinners for a large group last year and she wouldn't have it. She told me it was way too much food and she was right! I ordered three meals and had leftovers. Meals come with rice or noodles and soup of your choice. My favorite is the hot & sour; it's not too spicy, but it'll clear your sinuses. My friends and I ask for all sauces on the side so we can mix meats and sauces. Imperial sauce goes well with everything! Stop in or grab takeout. It's the only Mom/Pop Chinese place in the area and it'll satisfy your craving. Don't worry when she tells you to grab your own can drink or several more fortune cookies, she means it. read more

Went back after new management took over and the food and service was great!!! I had shrimp lol mein and it was yummy

Too bad u have to check one. We got take out there and we all ended up with food poisoning. Never again will I eat there or recommend anyone eat there. 5 thumbs down, yuk. read more

This is my favorite place to eat in the front of Diamondhead! Same sweet family running it for years, you feel like you've known them forever, and the best food. Get any soup, noodle dish, pasta, etc. Chances are they have it! Love this place and 10/10 recommend! read more

They are indeed the sweetest people in the food industry. We have ordered from them ever since moving to Diamondhead and have NEVER been disappointed. Realizing that sometimes things are not perfect especially on a buffet, they make every effort to please their patrons. Love this place, my friends love this place and judging from the lunch crowd, a LOT of people LOVE this place. So far the very few that have complained, please get a life! read more

This place is awesome. The owner is so friendly and treats you like she has known you her whole life. She is always happy. The food is very good. I have been several times and have never been disappointed. Best wings ever! General Tao Chicken also yummy. You get enough food for 3 meals. Definitely recommend this place. read more

The restaurant is dusty and the dust from the ceiling is a lot; the staff is CRUDE; the hostess nearly demanded a lady in a wheel chair sit at a table in the middle of the room and the wheelchair couldn't fit. It was awful to see such harsh treatment. They don't greet you nicely. The food arrived to my table and the waiter plopped it down and left. I was shocked at how low the standards have gone. To top it off, the hostess saw us leaving and looked at us and put her head down and got on her phone. No thanks for coming, or have a nice day... a look and no care whatever... POOR! once a great gem. Now- a musty dark mess. read more

The owners are very kind and helpful, however, I was not impressed with the food. I ordered sesame shrimp and the shrimp were good, but the frying batter was soggy and the sauce was way to sweet. The shrimp toast was excellent and even though the crab Rangoon had good taste, they were not crispy and light. Maybe it was a off day because plenty of people recommend them, so therefore, I'll give them another try. read more

The worst Asian food I have ever had. I had the sesame chicken, my companion had Beef & Broccoli, and we both ordered full takeout dinners, so we had the soup, rice, crab Rangoon, egg rolls, and crisps. The waiter didn't ask for our preferences on spice level or type of rice. I didn't realize this until we were headed home, but since my entrée was listed as "spicy" I figured it was fine. Unfortunately my "spicy" sesame chicken had no heat or taste. It was completely bland! There was a heavy fried breading shell, and very little sauce. The chicken inside was dry and flavorless. I tried several pieces, hoping to find something with flavor, but it was uniformly dry and tasteless. My companion's beef & broccoli was similarly bland. Neither of us got more than a few bites into the entree's. The won ton and egg drop soups both had a strong fishy smell and taste, and no other flavor at all. I couldn't bring myself to try the won tons, since the broth had me gagging. The rice turned out to be shrimped fried rice. I didn't realize this was the default; I would have preferred white rice to go with my chicken. The rice had a strong soy sauce flavor, but nothing else. The crab Rangoon was OK. The egg roll was heavily fried and flavorless. We threw out practically the entire meal. This was the worst Asian food I have ever had in my life. read more

I love this place. I do miss the previous owner. New management has large shoes to fill. Food has always been great.

I live in California and I was down visiting a friend and was craving Chinese. I ordered peppers steak plate thinking it was black pepper steak w/ veggies.... when I got it, it was steak with bell peppers..... but it was good! The only thing I have to complain about is the amount if steak in my plate.... there was like 4-5 pieces of steak and the rest was bell peppers. Also got an ordered of crap wontons/ragoons and they were delicious.. a lot of stuffing and I like that... I believe the lady was the owner, she was very nice... loved her attitude! Let me tell you I've been to alot of Chinese restaurants and the host/owners are not the nicest people.... you feel unwanted and rushed but not this place... she greets u once you walk in, with a smile and calls u beautiful. I recommend this place. Try it out :) read more

Excellent customer service, excellent quality food and Large portions for great prices keeps us coming again and again! Super fast service and great attention to detail on their take out orders! Very well packaged with zero spill issues! So happy to have such a great place close to home for great food! A++++ Thank you for what you do! read more

If you're thinking of trying this place, simply adjust your expectations beforehand. If you're looking for flavorful and freshly cooked food (order from menu), then you'll have a good experience. If you are bothered by little things like family helping out in a restaurant business, then you may be unhappy here. I travel extensively for work (300+ nights in hotels each year, all across the country), so I get to eat at many different restaurants for comparison. If you compare this place to the plethora of other Chinese restaurants, Five Happiness is above average. I'm not saying it's spectacular, but it definitely is much better than the mediocre competition in the area. Service is prompt and friendly, based on wise planning of arriving before a rush begins. Food is hot and fresh, but courses are served a bit too soon before one has time to finish. It is what it is, but the bottom line remains this place is much better and really can't be compared to the food quality (or lack thereof) to any of the Chinese restaurants in Gulfport. read more

The pork fried rice is great. We order it extra dark with extra onions. The best egg foo yung around. This is your typical family owned chinese restaurant. Nice lady runs the register and waits tables. They have a big take out business... Adding to my first review and another star. The eggrolls here are really good. Nice, big and fat so the wrapper to filling ratio is perfect. Well seasoned too. Rangoons are fullnof cream cheese and.....they have curry!! read more

This is comfort food, not haute cuisine. It gets five stars as yummy food in a family atmosphere. The portions are huge - you may want to split an entree. The Special Dinner for one comes with a bowl of soup (not a little cup), a big egg roll, and a crab rangoon. It is served with fried rice unless you ask for steamed. The platter of an entree is about 10" x 7". Last night I had the Chicken Lo Mein and my husband had General Tso's Chicken. Both were good. The lo mein had the slightly smoky fragrance I associate with good lo mein and lots of tender chicken. This is a family restaurant and often mama is waitressing by herself so don't be shy! You can go get a to-go container or coke yourself if you want to speed things up. I disagree with a previous commenter--I come here once a year and it has always been clean. Tonight I had the Mongolian Beef. This is tender, tasty beef and onions in a mild brown sauce--very good. Dan had the Mandarin Chicken which is a huge serving of tempura-fried chicken breast with golden gravy on the side. I know there are still a few folks out there who are not used to Chinese food. Both of these dishes are a great place for you to start to try something new without going outside your comfort zone. read more

Love love love this place! Food is great! Service is even better! The owner is the kindest!

Friendly, not expensive, below average. Everything is made the same way. THEY change the menus items from what was described, to whatever is cheep and passable. My beef with peapod had no peapod. The sauces are very bland, totally uninteresting. If you must go, the egg rolls are safe read more

Love the lady who runs this place. I eat here every week and appreciate the friendly and fast service and reasonable prices.

Take out if not consistent. Worse Chinese food I ever had. Food was overcooked. Chicken was very very dry. Almost like eating jerky. Egg drop soup was all cornstarch and maybe some food coloring. Servings were large but not worth the money spent. Menu says No MSG but had side effects that normally come from MSG. Actually first take out since the pandemic and now have regrets! read more
