A small, simple and unpretentious Chinese restaurant that does a great business because of the wonderful food that they prepare! Much of the business seems to be carry-out but there is seating inside. I ordered the kung pao chicken and I was extremely happy with my meal - a large portion, great flavors, an appropriate level of heat for a dish that is supposed to be spicy hot, and plenty of those crunchy peanuts! When I'm in the area again this will definitely be my go-to Chinese place. And the staff here are very pleasant. Thanks for the great food!! read more

Very friendly and very helpful always knows what I want I feel like they read my mind

Great food and great service! Arrived and it was a couple of minutes before there was a bag full of generous portions of yummy food. It is so hard to find a place that serves Chinese food like we grew up with. And this was a great find! Loved everything read more

Portions are huge and tasty. I couldn't come close to finishing it. Service was fast and courteous. The place itself is a hole in the wall firing out good food fast. The steamed dumplings are insane. Huge, tasty, and cheap. Not sure you can find another restaurant as good of a deal in Lexington read more

The food is aways good. I like fact that There isn't one bad thing on the menu.the service is always Polite. I like the fact that I can eat there or take out. read more

I loved this place. But placed an order today. Told it was gonna be 20 minutes. Got there early by about 5 minutes. But waited 20 minutes after that because it was busy. Didn't complain and waited patiently because the food is good. Cashier repeated my order. Seemed correct. Wrong. Got home and order is completely incorrect. No apology. Was told I could get credit but no one could deliver my order to me because there are no drivers available. That is a good offer if you are still there waiting in the facility. Sorry but if you are giving bad service times the order needs to be accurate. read more

This was my first time eating here and I got it delivered. Everything was super hot and delicious when it got here. They gave me a free dessert (: read more

Always friendly and speedy service. I have had a number of the items from the menu and have always been wowed!

Don't judge a book by its cover. This place does not look appealing and we almost left before ordering. But that would have been a horrible mistake because the food and service here deserves more than 5 stars. The food was so fresh we had to wait to eat it, we decided to sit at a table and eat and they brought our food to us, never asked for a tip, and always asked if we needed sauces. I still can't believe how much food we got for the price, ordering a small does not mean it will be a small amount! Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had hands down. read more

Food is 5-star. Atmosphere is 0 because it is mostly a take-out place. Probably the best take-out we've had in Lexington. Don't be dissuaded by the neighborhood -- not not the finest kind. Bu for good food at a very reasonable price, this is the place. The counter staff is very friendly and helpful. If you want to eat in house, there are tables, but as I said, "Door Dash" patrons seem to be their main business. My order included an egg roll, which my husband ate. He said it was the best he ever had! For a take-out place, this restaurant is 5 star extraordinary! read more

Please don't sleep on this place. Food is amazing every time. Def a whole in the wall but well worth it!

We ordered takeout and were pleasantly surprised with the portions for the price! The dumplings were twice the size we thought they would be and super delicious just like the rest of the food. The staff even added some free fried dough balls to our order! read more

It was good and was hot. The spring roll and vegetable roll was good but was greasy. Also I liked the chips that were placed in my order. Also it was delivered in a timely mattered. This is the only place I order Chinese. read more

Have spent the past 2 years trying several Chinese restaurants in Lexington and I must say this is definitely one of the best. I can only think of one other that's a go to. It's risky to order Chinese food because when it's good it's great but when it's bad it's nastay. I love the dumplings here either steamed or fried are good. The wonton soup is always boiling hot and fresh. The pork fried rice and sesame chicken are our favorite dishes. The curry is also very tasty. They have almost always included a bag of sugar donuts on the house! We usually order through DoorDash but have picked up a few times. They are very nice in there and the service is fast. Their website is easy to use. I def recommend Happy China! read more

It's in the hood, but it's good. A quality version of the standard American chinese food. read more

Happy China - Sesame chicken lunch platter ftw. - Chinese Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

The absolute best Chinese food in Lexington! Their Crab Rangoon are as large as softballs. I've never had a bad experience in all the years of going here. read more

Best Chinese food in the Hamburg area! We have tried every place east of Richmond Rd. On the list of things that were awesome. Pork fried rice, General Tso's, pork lo mein, dumplings, Singapore noodles.... Zero complaints. read more

Very friendly staff and amazing food!! We've tried different things throughout the years of eating here and it's all wonderful!!

Typical Chinese. It all tastes the same. Salty food. Noodles and An egg roll. What can you say?

Food was hot, tasted good BUT the staff should really pay more attention to the requests on the order because they didn't bother preparing the dish like I requested. Done. read more

Ate two bites and in the trash. Poor quality, old grease. Chicken tased like seafood. Avoid.

Great business, hard working people, quick and easy, great to conduct business with, great customer service.

I order from Happy China on DoorDash and it never disappoints. Absolutely try the steamed pork dumplings--shockingly delicious! I also love the shrimp or pork with broccoli because the broccoli is cooked perfectly every time. You can tell it's freshly prepared to be firm and not mushy. On my last order I asked them to add a little spice to the dish and I was delighted as usual. Highly recommend for fresh and fast Chinese food. read more

Ordered for delivery on a whim. I am definitely skeptical of Chinese food in cities I am visiting because I've been let down plenty of times. But, my friends recommended this spot. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! Also thought the prices were very fair. Veggie Lo Mein - noodles were great quality, could have used a little more sauce on them 4/5 Hot and Sour Soup- A solid cup of hot and sour soup and they gave you the crunchies to put in It :) 5/5 Beef Chow Mei Fun - I didn't really have a taste for this, wasn't bad, but a little lacking in flavor - 3/5 General Tso's Chicken- This was my favorite! Super delicious. Not very spicy like described, but It was addicting nonetheless - 5/5 Mongolian Pork - This dish was flavorful, but very salty FYI. 3/5 I thought It was awesome they through in some doughy sugared donuts. To die for when they're warm. I could have eaten the whole bag lol. Overall I would order from Happy China again :) read more

I left a recent review about my local Chinese-American takeout place, which is perfectly cromulent. This place is the one to go to though when you are in the area or just want the best of that particular cuisine. They just seem to execute so well every time: the wontons in the wonton soup are filled with a big hunk of flavorful, spiced pork in a silky broth, and the batter-fried chicken in either General Tao's or sweet and sour always have great crunch. Plus, they tend to throw in an order of fried dough balls in sugar (like a donut hole, but larger) when I spent over $30 like the Thai places in Tampa did when I would go there. The staff is friendly and the though the interior is nothing to write home about, it seems geared towards take-out anyway as I always do as I'm outside the delivery area. When I'm lazy, it's Lee's. When I want to indulge, definitely Happy China. read more

There are some really good things about this place, but also things that are not quite up to par for me. I was a very big fan of their sweet-and-sour chicken. Their fried rice was very basic and was not great or bad. They're crab Rangoon was not my favorite, because it was almost too sweet to the point where I could only have one or two before I was done. Overall a good experience and I would recommend it. read more

Because of the weather I ended up with a day off &being to lazy to cook anything I ordered lunch from here to be delivered . The woman that answered the phone was very cordial &repeated my order back to me to confirm it was correct which it was . Honestly I would have thought I'd be waiting an hour for delivery because we just had a night of rain followed by snow . But no it literally was within 30 minutes and I don't even think it was that long to be honest . The delivery driver showed up &he as well was very cordial. The food itself was piping hot still when I got it inside . When I opened up the containers the steam just rose up and fogged my glasses (kidding ) . So the lunch combo was boneless spare ribs with fried rice &an egg roll within that order was also steamed dumplings (which were pretty fat). The portions are definitely generous &the food is really good . They also to my surprise included 4 Chinese donuts that were coated in sugar &omg they were good &warm to ! Yes it's in a strip mall &no it's not in the greatest area but there's plenty of traffic within the strip mall that you have no worries . Being born&raised in New York would I recommend this place ? Why yes I would and I'll definitely be ordering from them again. One last thing there is a 4.00 delivery fee if you don't want to pay it you can order ahead and pick it up as well . read more

Well last night I ordered from this place for the first time, delivery and I was super super pleased. I got SO MUCH FOOD for a low price and delivery was fast. They brought my food in a box and included lots of sauce and even four free donuts and a free wooden Chinese calendar. Wow! Let's talk about the food. I wanted the classic: pork fried rice, chicken lo mein, beef dumplings and an egg roll. I was not disappointed. Everything was delicious and the portions were massive. They crammed it in the boxes and there was so much food that I'll be eating it for days. Can't wait to order from here again! This is my new go to Chinese. read more

The food just did not taste good, but that could be a matter of personal opinion. We ordered and got our food quickly for take out. It was a bit pricey for American Chinese, but we could've looked past that. Unfortunately, we did not like the food and won't be returning. Both my partner and I ended up feeling extremely sick after dinner. Disappointed! I guess the search is still on for the perfect take out Chinese for our lazy evenings! read more

This is a great local Chinese Restaurant. In the Eastland Shopping Center and near the center of Lexington. This restaurant offers a variety of meal choice, meals with chicken, beef, pork and seafood. They also have a daily lunch special. Happy China offers dine in, carry out, delivery and have a buffet during the day. I purchased the General Two's Chicken with fried rice and a spring roll. They have the option for a regular egg roll (Pork) or a Spring Roll (Veggies). Their foods are fresh and you will receive good size meal portion. While in the Eastland shopping center, you have the option to park in front of the door and there is extended parking in the main lot if the shopping center. read more

Some of the best American style Chinese food I've had. Ordered delivery through DoorDash and had hot food at my door in about 30 minutes. I ordered plain lo mein, a pint of egg drop soup, and hot and spicy chicken. All of it was very tasty and the chicken had a good level of sweet and heat. They even left a surprise in my bag. Instead of giving me just a pint of egg drop soup, they upgraded it to a quart, completely free of charge. A nice gesture for sure and will get my business in the future whenever I'm in Lexington. read more

Happy China - Lo mein, egg drop soup (upgraded from pint to quart for free), and hot and spicy chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Super quick & easy takeout! Location was kind of difficult to find though using Apple Maps since it took us to the back. Portions were big & the food was good. They also threw in some free Chinese donuts which tasted great while still hot. Ordered the general tso's chicken with lo mien & a cup of egg drop soup. Chicken was a bit too big for my liking, but there wasn't excessive breading which is great. I feel like it's hard to mess up egg drop soup so that was delicious. Also had the sweet & sour chicken with fried rice which was good. read more

I have been ordering a lot of food for delivery lately. I buy from Happy China once a week now and I love it! Food is very consistent and delicious. There is always enough food for several meals. The food usually arrives ahead of scheduled for delivery. read more

Friendly and quick service, clean environment, and the best crab rangoons I've ever had!

The location and condition of the inside of this place is the only reason I took a star off. But their food is always good and they give big portions for reasonable prices. Food is ready quickly and the staff is friendly. read more
