Got LOTS of food for the price. Everything GREAT except fried pot stickers. They were bland and tasted like frozen Gyoza not homemade. Moo Shu was delish and plentiful but pancakes seemed like rice paper wrappers not normal with moo shu! Maybe supplies are sparse since students are not currently on campus!?! read more

Happy China is quality Chinese delivery. We've been going for years and not only love the food, but, the staff are personable and always cranking it out. Recommendations: Awesome crab rangoon Hunan chicken Pork egg foo young/ the best Everything has been great over the years, but, the one signature item I always get is their homemade hot mustard! So tasty and it will clean your congestion too. Not for the squeamish. Can't say enough good things. read more

We love Happy China! The food is great! Nice size portions for your money. We usually have it delivered. They are quick and the order is always right and the food is hot! Wo totally recommend them! read more

Decent Chinese food. A little greasy. The moo shu pork had large chunks of pork which was different than i have had before but really good.

Moo Goo Gai Pan was great. Had fried rice as well. Crab Rangoon was wonderful. All was delivered and hot when it arrived

Price is the largest selling point here, there are great deals for practically everything on the menu. The portions are very generous and you can probably get two meals out of a large fried rice brining the cost per meal to less than $5 which is a GREAT deal! The food is pretty good, but not the best you can get around either. The service is very fast too, I haven't ever waited too long while I was there. The ambiance is a little dated, but I'm fine with it because it reminds me of a lot of good family owned Chinese restaurants I've been too. I highly recommend giving it a try! (Also here's a leftover tip: Gently frying fried rice in a little bit of neutral oil really makes it taste great again!) read more

Very good food. Been coming here since I was little. I would highly the sesame chicken combo. Also, some of the best egg rolls around.

We have now been here twice in two weeks because we order food here and bring it over to the pint where we have drinks the paint has no food on its menu but allows you to bring food in and we enjoy the large portions affordable price and decent taste of happy China. They would get more stars if there were a better flavors as in stronger flavors and spicier as well as a Neater store front read more

Really greasy and not particularly good food. Egg rolls were bland and oily. Orange chicken was really mushy and underwhelming. I'd pass on this place. read more

Rather disappointed. We've eaten here many times over the years but hadn't been for a while. Today we finally decided to dine in for lunch. It's still a simple, hole-in-the-wall kind of place that's a little rough around the edges and that's fine. ...part of its charm. We got the orange chicken and garlic chicken lunch specials. Both plates looked pretty good. The garlic chicken and crab rangoon were fine. However, the fried breading of my orange chicken was so tough that the little plastic fork would just bend against it. I finally ate my first piece of the chicken and it was bone and/or cartilage. That happens sometimes with fried chicken so i spit it into my napkin and moved on. Then i saw a hair on my plate that was not ours. I brushed the hair aside and moved on. I tried to eat the chicken again. Each piece had that tough breading but the insides were also tough. Tough, hard, stringy, and chewy. Then i looked over at the Sriracha bottle. The tip was covered in some kind of black gunk. After we left and got back to work we realized how much we now smelled like the restaurant's fryers. read more

Came here on a sunday evening for some quick General Tso's. The location is good. They seemed busy, but most of it was for take out. My friend got the egg rolls and all that she had to say was - "The egg rolls leave much to be desired". I would have to agree. The General Tso's combo came with an egg roll and fried rice. Is it just me or has the quality of fried rice around town just gone down of the last few years. The chicken was good, but the rice was very bland and you could barely find any green peas or carrots in all the "yellow" rice. Prices are decent, but I've had way better chinese food for the same price. Service was very sloppy. We did not get any take out, which they specially asked us about. But they gave us no plates and they even stapled my food in a to-go box. What?! read more

Food is always delicious and fresh. If you order on the website, the daily 6.99 special is a good deal. The employees are super nice. Takeout only. read more

This is hands down my husband and I's favorite takeout on campus. When in college, we'd grab food from Happy China as often as once a week. Now that we're moving out of state, I'm so sad to say goodbye and it was on my list of must haves before we leave. I even ate Happy China on my wedding day. The lunch combos are huge - I usually can only eat about half before getting full. My favorites are the vegetable egg foo young and any of the meats with broccoli. Food only takes about ten minutes to make and is always great. If you're looking for quick, easy, and affordable Chinese food near Purdue's campus, Happy China has you covered! read more

Happy China did not impress me. Located near other competitors, I thought they were going to be another option for my go-to Chinese food, since there are so many other options, but I was wrong. Their food tasted bland & they were not generous with their portion. I got their Chicken with Onion and what they actually gave me was "Onion and chicken" because it consisted of 80% onions and 20% chicken. The overall dish only tasted sweet from the sauce--not enough savoriness. I hope that they will improve this. read more

My boyfriend really wanted to go here for dinner the other day, so I found myself dragged along. I got their curry chicken plate, which was honestly pretty good. The rice was nice and soft and there was a good amount of curry coating the chicken and vegetables. The egg roll was practically dripping grease, so I felt pretty gross eating it but it got the job done. Our dishes were served on styrofoam plates with plastic cutlery, which was kind of wack, but whatever. The place was a little dirty. Honestly, this is about what I expected, but the three stars are my compromise for the decent food with the kind of grungy dining experience. At least the food is cheap! read more

Okay if you ever want to eat out on Christmas, Happy China is open! Of the few restaurants open on a major American holiday, this one serves pretty tasty food! It was actually the fourth stop in our attempt to find a place to eat dinner on Christmas night, and they weren't overly crowded, which was pretty nice. Service was excellent that night and the food was hot, fresh, and delicious! read more

Online food. One of my favorite restaurants. Great food excellent service. If there is a problem with something I have ordered like they are out of something someone will call me and ask what I want to replace it with. Very caring, kind and sincere, impressive management/ownership. My only negative issue is the noticeably smaller portion containers coupled with a price increase. read more

They need to learn to listen to their customers when they give them a delivery address and didn't even get the auto right and it took two hours for them to get the food to me gave them a chew because the food in itself is actually pretty good read more

We use to go there but recently the employees seems mad that your calling in an order. Very rude and will not be returning.

Had a huge piece of plastic in my food of orange chicken. if I didn't see it I would of ate and choked I would love for them to look at the food there making to make sure nothing goes in to it that wasn't supposed to be in it then just sending it out. read more

We've been looking for a good Asian restaurant in West Lafayette, so gave Happy China a try. There are several good things: Huge portions, fresh ingredients, convenient, large menu selection, on-line ordering and a delivery option. Students in the area get a lot for their money. Unfortunately, the three star rating is because none of the tastes stood out. The Hot & Sour soup was loaded with great ingredients, but the broth was very bland--almost like dishwater. I didn't eat it. The egg rolls tasted fine, but scant in filling. The entrees could have used a little more zing (not just hot--but overall flavor.) Happy China has a lot of elements that could make it 4-5 stars. If they focused on more flavor, they could get there! read more

The food tasted good, but a piece of my chicken contained a gelatinous, rubbery piece that definitely wasn't chicken inside it...so take that as you will read more

Happy China - Gelatinous, rubbery piece. What is this? - Chinese Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

The food is plentiful and fresh. Sauces have good taste. Do I forget that I am in West LafAyette when I have this food? No. Not at all. But this is solid food available quickly from employees who try to please. read more

Not bad. I've ordered from here before and it's been inconsistent. But tonight I placed a delivery order and it was really tasty. I ordered garlic chicken, special chop suey, egg rolls, fried rice and homemade hot mustard. Each dish was full of flavor and the mustard creamy and spicy. Portions were so good I have 4 meals to look forward to. Yum! read more

The food is delicious, hot and delivered quickly. I really love the crab rangoons!

Not bad, slightly above average Chinese food. Workers were kind and helpful, and my food came out very fast.

Okay food, nothing spectacular but took care of my chinese craving. I got the chicken lo mein meal which came with rice and 2 crab rangoon. The crab rangoon was really good but I was not particularly impressed with the noodles of rice. read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could due to their sanitation violations. I live right above the place and went to eat there a couple times when I first moved into my apartment. The last time I ate there, I found a wasp in my food and then noticed one of the cook takes his hand and put it in the garbage to stuff it down and then proceed back to cooking. read more

All in all, Happy China is a decent choice for typical (Americanized) Chinese food. Last night I wasn't feeling so well, so I decided to look for something quick to pick up for dinner. Having spent my early years in San Francisco, Chinese takeout has always been a fixture in my monthly dinner rotation, and is something of a comfort food to me- I always want hot & sour soup when I'm sick. I found the Happy China menu on hungryboiler.com and put in my order online. At the time, I actually thought I had ordered it for delivery, so in the "special instructions" box I put "Back Door". I had actually ordered takeout, and so Happy China called, texted, and left me a message to clarify. I appreciate that they took that effort rather than just letting me wonder why my food was never delivered. So I ended up driving there to pick it up. They were (understandably) a little delayed by the delivery/takeout confusion, and so I waited 5-10 minutes for my order. I wouldn't recommend eating in, as the dining room is pretty shabby and less than pristine in terms of cleanliness (although I wouldn't worry about food safety). On to the food: Hot & Sour Soup: Big portion with plenty of the typical vegetables, and a nice helping of mushrooms, which were fresh and well cooked. However, the flavoring was off for me, rather than the tangy sweet/sour that I look for in this soup, the only note I tasted was spicy. Steamed Dumplings: Came with 8 dumplings. These were not my favorite- the dough was very heavy and they didn't give us any dipping sauce! It's hard to mess up dumplings though, they were still very satisfying and I finished two. General Tso's Chicken- Generous portion size, well cooked (crispy) and a good bit of brocoli in there to help you deny the fact that what you are eating is fried chicken drenched in sugary sauce. Tasty. Mixed Vegetables with Tofu: Vegetables were fresh and well cooked, plenty of tofu chunks. Sauce was decent if not memorable. Overall, food was satisfying, portions were very large, and prices were great (all this for less than thirty dollars and my husband and I can easily get three meals out of it). I would go back to Happy China for takeout for ease of ordering and location and fresh, decent food (skip the soup next time!). read more

I ordered delivery from Happy China for the first time. Overall, I was impressed! Delivery Time: 15 minutes from call to arrival (shockingly fast) Portions: Massive Price: inexpensive ($7.50 for entree+ spring roll+ fried rice) Taste: average I was pleased with my meal! I can't stress enough how huge the quantities were. Also, the delivery was lightning fast! Update: 2/8/15 I've ordered from Happy China a few more times. There are two positive qualities that I can't stress enough. #1: the portion size is overwhelmingly massive. #2: the delivery is very fast(maybe because I live right down the street.) It's important to recognize Happy China for what it is: Chinese fast-food. It is not a sit-down, fine-dining restaurant. It's a cheap in-and-out place. With that being said, the expectations for such an establishment must be held to a fast-food type of standard. The sauces probably come out of a can. Each individual order probably wasn't made by hand with the care and consideration that you would expect from a fine-dining establishment. It may lack some of the unique spices and flavors that could be expected at much more expensive restaurants. It's simple Chinese-American fast food. By that standard, Happy China knocks it out of the park. Under the category of $5-$10 Chinese-American takeout restaurants, Happy China is simply as good as you can get. 5-stars. Well done. read more

Happy China always takes good care of me. I have never had an issue with the restaurant but if I did I am sure they would try to correct the issue. read more

One of the best Chinese takeout places that you will find around Purdue. The place is clean, the staff is extremely friendly, and the food tastes great every time. I have never used their delivery service, so I won't comment on it, but otherwise I love eating Chinese from this place. Also, the portions are great for the price. Usually I can get 2 or 3 meals out of one of their combo deals. I love their General Tso's combo. Five stars as far as Chinese takeout goes. read more

Food was really good. The order was messed up, but I think it was because of the online order, not them. Portion was HUGE, but I only got lo mein, so not a lot to tell here. I would order again & hopefully have the right order this time. read more

As far as Chinese food places go, this is one of the more decent ones in West Lafayette. Their price is a-ok, the portion is larger than most chinese places around, but the food itself is just... okay. Not bad, not mind blowingly delicious or anything. The staff is more often good than not. Some of them will remember you if you go there often. The delivery is pretty good. Within their guarantee of 30-45 minutes for most part. read more

I normally order from happy china a lot and the food is always good but i'm tired of the drivers taking 2-3 hours to deliver to me when i legit live 7-8 minutes away at this point i'm done tipping lol read more

Came into town after 2200 and wanted a place that would deliver in time before everything closed down. This place came in with he highest rating compared to the competition. Placed an order for delivery in it arrived within 28 minutes. He order was easy to place and the delivery was speedy. Food was pretty good. Beef and broccoli and steamed dumplings. Price was fair. The only weird thing I've never seen before is they stapled the beef and broccoli container. Seems like an odd choice. But it held the container together. Just be careful opening and chewing. read more

I had ordered my food online, and the processing went through very fast. I walked into the restaurant, and after smelling the fragrance they had misted (I want to call it old playdoh), the cashier said it would be a couple minutes. After a couple minutes, I picked up my order, went home, and ate it. 5 stars, was able to eat the food. read more

This place is always our go to place for take out Chinese food. In comparison to the other take out Chinese establishments in Lafayette this place is the best one yet, but I'm not so sure if that says much. The food here is good, along with the specials and variety, but sometimes the sanitary and cleanliness factors always make me hesitate eating here haha. The service here is so-so it really just depends on who is working. Overall, this is an okay place to eat, but definitely carry out and cross your fingers it's a good day at Happy China! read more
