I've been coming to this restaurant since I was a kid. Still love the cashew chicken !!

It's very quiet for the most part when you dine in, the food is good, service is excellent.

I recently moved back to the ridge after a long time and was so happy this restaurant was still open. I've had a few positive experiences with just ordering some Hot and Sour soup to go. But as I've expanded out to order other menu items, I've been disappointed. I order a Snow Peas, Water chestnuts and Tofu dish. The tofu was soured. I tried one more time to just order Snow Peas and Water chestnuts but $17 later (and thats the price w/o any rice) I get home to eat it and all the water chestnuts are spoiled/sour and the snow peas were on their last legs. I think this restaurant is not selling enough product to keep their food items moving and fresh. But also when you buy bad food, you don't go back. I'm actually worried for them staying open. read more

This place gets NO stars. Was once a good place to go. Service is lacking. Also, such cheats! We paid for food and once home noticed 1 meal missing. I called only to be told all meals were packed up to go for pick up and then hung up. No sorry, no ANYTHING!I had paid in cash so I have no recourse on disputing charges to my card, otherwise I DAMN WELL WOULD. Beware of this SCAM Happy Day is running!!! read more

The food was good but the cleanliness of this restaurant was disgusting. They had a bucket of water in the dining area which they used to clean the tables.we observed the waitress wipe up split food off of the carpet and cleaned the rag in that bucket of water which now filthy and then went on cleaning a table with the same dirty water and rag. We won't be back. read more

Recently moved nearby and came in for a couple plates for my fiance and I. I ended up leaving empty handed, I walked in and it's a small cozy place, I tried explaining to the man behind the booth what I wanted to order and HE JUST STOOD THERE STARING AT ME. Didn't take my order and didn't try to help me he just stood there staring at me in silence. Really disappointed because it's one of the few places nearby and we love Chinese food. read more

Always great Chinese restaurant and happy day they are super unfortunately I like them a lot better than Sakura Sushi. Sakura Sushi has great sushi and Japanese food but their Chinese is as good as happy day. Maybe they'll get better at it one day. read more

Best Chinese food I've ever had. Never disappoints. The walnut shrimp is my favorite. read more

Happy Day - Walnut shrimp combination dinner! - Chinese Near Me - Magalia, California

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants. General chicken and Kung pow chicken are the best.

BEST local Chinese Food I've had since moving out to Paradise, CA, in 1999. Top marks across the board!

Ive been going to Camp De Sabla since i was a little kid. Every year we would visit Happy Day to wait for check in. Until recently, I had not been up since the Paradise fire. Ive been home almost a week now, and I am still sitting on my couch craving their potstickers. I am very seriously considering a 4 hour drive, round trip, to get them. If you look up hidden gem in a dictionary, you will get a picture of Happy Day read more

We have tried all three family meals, and "C" was by far the best offer- lots of food and good flavors. "B" was very spicy, and "A" was pedestrian. Atmosphere could use some modernization (but that doesn't affect the food quality or service). Service was great! Service staff attentive. Great place when you have a hankering for Chinese food and don't want to travel down the ridge. read more

Always love this place moved away four years ago and came back recently and the place is just as good. The staff is very friendly and the food is fantastic. Haven't found a better Chinese restaurant in the area yet. read more

Pretty good Chinese food! They were on time for pickup with given eta of 15 min. Food was good overall: 4/5 Hot and sour soup was good (spicy) , but it's vegetarian. Lots of great stuff in it though (bamboo, egg, tofu, mushrooms). Flavor on point! 4/5 Mongolian beef (pieces of beef were small but tasty)- spicy 3/5 Sweet and sour pork - good sauce but the meat was a bit dry and tough to chew 4/5 Walnut prawns- very good flavor but I wish the batter was crispier 5/5- house fried rice- very good! Can't beat Paradise prices! read more

See all

Food has improved in recent years. We ordered walnut shrimp, lemon chicken, mu shu pork & house chow mein. Mu shu was a little disappointing but the rest was outstanding. Service was very good as well. read more

I am a vegan, so I had the Spicy Salted Tofu and it was good. I would eat it again for sure! I went to the restaurant with non vegans, their food looked tasty and they said they liked it. They had the Sizzling Rice Soup and the Chicken Chow Mein. The ambiance was peaceful, it felt like private service because no other customers were in there at that time. read more

The service & friendliness of staff was great!! Food was very good & prices were more than reasonable!! We live in Chico & Happy Day is the best Chinese food we've found in the county!! read more

Great place for great Chinese food. Many items to choose from. A bit pricey though it is well worth it! Dine in or take out. No delivery. read more

I always love going to Happy Day! Sometimes there is a little bit of a wait, but the food is always delicious! The staff is always very friendly! I've eaten in and done take out, both experiences were good. read more

I like the fresh crab meat with cheese turnover, so delicious and great crunchy texture.

Happy day serves good food at a really good price. Place is comfortable. Service is great even with special orders. Thanks again

Best tasting Chinese food anywhere near Paradise and Chico. There is better in Sacramento, but you won't find any better out in these parts. Kungpao tastes like it's supposed to, egg drop soup it's like they made it instead of buying it pre-made, good fried stuff. Also the value is good, unsurprising that this place is popular for takeout. read more

New to the area and had heard great things about the food here. We will definitely be back!!! The food was Delicious!!!!!! the service was amazing, so nice. We did not dine in but the ambiance was nice and quiet. read more

The food is delicious with generous portions. It's a small business with 2-3 employees so don't expect fast service, but they are kind. It is decorated cute, and the back seating has a nice view. read more

Best Chinese food in the area. Always fresh and tasty and the owners and staff are extremely pleasant. You won't be sorry you dined here.

Chow mein doesn't have no flavor. I'll call in order to go either. They forget my pancakes for my Moochie pork or the sauce. You always gotta make sure you got everything. read more

We live near and never complain they have good food and service and they make it quick not the cheapest but still amazing

Hi everyone Tonya here. I absolutely LOVE there Kung Pao Chicken and there WonTon Soup.

Good Food for a decent price. I only do pick-up because the restaurant service here is super slow and staff can leave me feeling like things could be so much better! Quick, good fried rice & egg rolls that I pickup works for me. read more

Visited this restaurant in July. Food is always good and excellent service. It's been a while since we were there but will be back very soon. A short drive from Chico and well worth it. read more

I have been ordering meals from Happy Day since it's opened. Going inside is sometimes nice and other times you're hot or cold. Food has not been consistent. Today I ordered a veggie chow mein, sweet sour pork and curry chicken that is to be spicy. We did not get the sauce for the pork. Everything was so bland and boring. I called the resturarnt and let them know of my disfactactication and I only received remarks that nothing has change. The food was eatable but BORING not flavor. This has been happening for the past few years. Who ever is cooking is not consistent. I gave 2 stars since once tasty not great but OK and now boring. read more

Great food and service. Haven't had a bad meal and the quantity is enough for 3 meals. Especially love the chow fun, which is a wide rice noodles . read more

We had the A family dinner for two last night. The meals were resdy right on time and very plentiful, enough for two nights and was still hot when I got it home to Paradise. The soup was delicious as well as the sweet and sour pork and almond chicken. The egg rolls were also very good. The chow mein. unfortunately lacked much flavor. Adding salt and the furnished orange sauce helped but disappointed. We'll try it again probably with a substitute for the chow mein. read more

We just took a drive up Magalia and wanted to try something new. I absolutely loved their food. It was delicious. We got the family combo that comes with soup fried wontons and egg rolls with two main entrees and a house fried rice. It was so good for what it's worth. read more

Food was very bland and made us sick. Worse of all they were very rude and arrogant toward their customers.

My grandmother moved here 10 years ago and we would always go to Happy Day when I visited and we loved the food. Today we ordered 60$ worth of food thinking it would be as good as it always was but we were let down after taking one bite. Neither of us could finish our food, the noodles were rubbery, the honey walnut prawns were caked in a quarter inch of gooey batter, and every plate had Hot peppers in them that were way to hot for my grandma. I tried to stick it out and continue to eat it but that was a mistake. I felt like puking after taking a few bites and ended up throwing my plate away as did my grandma. I'm not usually one to ask for a refund but the food was disgusting so that's what I did, I drove back, told the guy at the takeout window what the problem was and he said that he'd need to talk to his boss, he went and got two more people, a man and a woman, who were instantly rude stating that half the containers were empty and that we did eat most of it, which was a flat out lie, I explained that everything that was taken out of the containers and put on our plates was thrown away. They told me that the owner was not there and that there was nothing they could do to refund me the money and told me to come back tomorrow to talk to the owner. When I tried to explain that I was leaving to go back to the Bay Area tomorrow and I was just visiting , the woman that came out grabbed all the food that I brought back to go throw it out and told me that I'm not getting a refund and that this is the recipe they've always used. (I wish I could show pictures but I did not get a chance to take pictures because the woman threw my food away before I could) I'm not sure if this place is under new management since I've lost come here or what. The staff were so unhelpful and flat out rude as hell. I highly recommend NOT eating here until they get a handle on their attitudes, professionalism , and garbage food. read more

Classic Chinese food in the middle or the end of nowhere depending on if you live here or are just visiting the area. I love their fried prawns for an appetizer I know of no better. I've never had anything off the menu that wasn't great, twice cooked pork is one of my favorites. Close your eyes and pick something I know I won't be dissatisfied. Great food. It's something I crave! read more

Great experience the other night, dine in has finally found its way back to Happy Day. We were there Wednesday night and of course their take out business was booming, they were short handed but still managed to give us a very enjoyable experience. Food was on point as was the service. We love out mountain restaurants and enjoy supporting them. read more

Very very bland! Absolutely no flavor! Waste of $30 for one person! I don't recommend. Food is cooked fast with no regard of quality. Very disappointed read more

the food was really good. the service was not very good. there was no air conditioning.
