I keep coming here because the workers are so nice. Thats the biggest thing that keeps me coming back. The cream cheese wontons are addictive, I hope you don't hog them all. Personally I like a combo with 2 entrees, usually the shrimp and kungpao chicken (pretty spicy usually) plus half vegetables and half lo mein for the side. You can eat relatively healthy if you get veggies instead of the sides. Portion size hasn't been a problem ever there for me. read more

This place was not worth the money I paid. The chicken was too fried. The noodles taste like cardboard. I saw the man put his bare hands in the food to pull out a toothpick. And he just threw a handful of chicken in the deep fryer, bare hands again. It was already 12pm and the place wasn't even set up all the way. The little bit of food they had out was already burned and looked hours old. The restaurant was empty so it was clean on the outside; but that kitchen looked a complete wreck. I would never go back there again. Thank goodness I didn't get food poisoning. read more

Ok! Ok! I am going to break your heart.... Cardboard or Happy Dragon? Not even the Happy Dragon eats here!!! The food totally sucked!!! Go to Panda! Much better!! read more

The place is disgustingly dirty and slow. Like call the health department dirty. I tossed my order away when I got home and picked up some Panda. read more

2 stars because 1.5 isn't an option and saying 2 stars would be a stretch.. We were the ONLY customers at 5:00pm( drive by panda on my way here to try- long lines). Both ordered the 2 protein plate $10 each.. wife got the orange chicken & teriyaki chicken 1/2 fried rice 1/2 lo mien. I got General Zao & beef broccoli with fried rice We both said right off the bat.. fried rice is soaked in oil... LoMien was over cooked and oily Orange chicken was too sweet and lacked that orange zest.. and teriyaki chicken was dry- like sitting around dry.. the general Z tasted like it's been sitting and is put back in the wok to reheat and bathing in that glaze.. the beef and broccoli- broccoli was perfect but the beef was chewy and took too long to chew up.. a medium drink is like a kids size.. they only have Pepsi products, I opted for the Coke can in the mini fridge. Overall 1.5 stars.. we both said unless a major improvement, we will pass on coming here again read more

Go at 11:30-12 everything is fresh and amazing. Super quick and super cheap! Definitely a better option than panda read more

Happy Dragon Chinese Express - Chinese Near Me - Vineyard, Utah

Food was well cooked got the orange, sweet and sour, and BBQ chicken. The meat was well cooked and we go Lo mein and that was great. I personally wish there was more sauce to the BBQ chicken but it was well cooked and there was no fatty pieces so I ate it all. Orange and sweet and sour was my favorite. I also got their potstickers. They weren't my favorite potstickers in the world 4/5 but they were crispy and filling. Did a pickup order and food was ready quick and the workers were nice. Great service all around will order again! read more

I ordered this on DoorDash for lunch. The wait time was about 25 minutes which is pretty quick for DoorDash in my area at peak lunch time. The food arrived and was still warm which is nice. I got a plate with orange chicken and noodles as well as a side of the cream cheese wontons. The chicken was really great and I loved the flavor. The noodles had a nice flavor but they were really mushy. I'm not sure if that's just because it was take out or if that's how they always are. The wontons were okay. They were pretty greasy. I probably won't be ordering from here again but for the price it isn't a bad option. The portion size was good. I would recommend going in rather than ordering it out. read more

The food was meh, very bland and uncolorful. The sweet and sour chicken was extremely sweet but had pineapple in it which I enjoyed. The rice was done well but the chicken quality was also pretty bad. Also that chicken could have been sitting there for a while. The Beijing beef and broccoli was also bland and boring but everything was cooked throughout. read more

Came on a Sunday. I don't think they figured out seasoning yet. The chicken was insanely dry. Probably not much traffic. The orange chicken was average at best. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE 0 of the food options were prepared and they weren't cooking more. What crusty old "meat" you saw is what you ordered. We now both have stomach aches. Save your money read more

I've ordered ahead several times. Always says ready in 5 minutes. I show up 15 minutes later and they haven't even started making it yet. In store they say 5 more minutes. Nope. Another 15 goes by. Terrible! Every time! Never again. read more

It's happened a couple of times already at this location (Mill Rd & Vineyard), we ordered the food online and they didn't text when the food was ready. A couple of days ago the app said the food would be ready by 6:55. We got to the place and waited up until the time they said it would be ready. We went inside and the food was just sitting there getting cold and the receipt showed the order was completed at 6:31. So, it sat there for 15 minutes!! Is it that hard to notify your customers. Other locations do it why can't you? read more

Found this place after I needed a quick bite after the gym, and I have been back a handful of times. The food is way better than panda and doesn't leave you feeling gross. It priced well and tastes good. Service is extremely friendly. My only complaint is that the fortune cookies have weird bitcoin messages..they def need to change them up. read more

Happy Dragon Chinese Express - BBQchicken, fried rice and vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Vineyard, Utah

This is the only bad Chinese takeout I have ever had in my life. The food was cold as frankly gross, half sauced and more breading than meat. The restaurant forgot to give us one of our entrees and we found hair in another. I had to switch one of my sides that I prepaid for because they were out of it when I got there to pick the food up. My wife and I had talked about trying this place for over a year before we finally did today and I am beyond disappointed with the food and experience. Seriously consider going to Panda instead because it's at least edible. read more

This place used to be good, but it's gone downhill on quality and customer service. Found a piece of metal, probably the last time I'll eat here. read more

I love this place! coming here for 5 years now. Good food, good people better than Panda, hands down.

I had the firecracker meat with lo mien and it was really good and filled me up. It is comparable to panda but it was less packed and the employees were really nice. I'll definitely comeback. read more

I only come here for their noodles now. I'm not big on cabbage or other veggies in my lo mein, so this place is great for me. Their other food is not worth it. Most of it is bland and the meat (chicken etc) is tough. It's like they're using cheap ingredients. I don't think they make new food too often either, it looks like they let it just sit in the warmer all day. It never looks very appetizing when you first walk in. Ppl eat with their eyes first. Their service use to be good, but now there's a bunch of new employees that don't seem to care or know what they're doing. read more

Ordered a large fried rice and is smelled and tasted burnt. Preordered it to come pick it up and the service was basic which I get it, but the food should never be burnt. Wanted to support local but now I get why people tLk down on the place. Can't be serving that to customers. read more

Food is mediocre at best, customer service was really bad. Super disappointed, was excited to find such a good deal. Edit: The food made me incredibly sick. Don't eat here. read more

This place use to be amazing a few years ago but they've cut costs and changed recipes on food and it shows. Their lo mein is spaghetti noodles with plain soy sauce and some sprinkling of cabbage instead of the real deal. The bbq chicken used to be super good with an awesome glaze but now it's just grilled with an okay marinade. Overall below average now. Please bring back your original dishes! read more

Happy Dragon Chinese Express - BBQ Chicken Lo Mein Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Vineyard, Utah

It's a pretty good spot for Chinese-American food. Recently, it feels like the portion sizes have started to diminish, but I kind of attribute it more to the lady who dishes up the food. I used to want to come here more but when that started, we've begun to rotate to a few other places. I usually get their orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, or general tso's with the green bean chicken. My wife loves the honey walnut shrimp which costs a little extra! Hard to miss with the stuff here! I usually just target what looks the freshest. read more

I've never left a poor review for Chinese food. My son and I stopped in on a Saturday night at 5pm. We planned to eat something in the restaurant. We chose fried rice and orange chicken, General Tso's, chicken and sesame chicken The food was absolutely inedible. The chicken was stringy and dry and indecipherable. It all looked and tasted the same. I should have known when the serving trays were half empty and they were not cooking fresh food. Saturday night must be leftover night. My son and I threw out $25 worth of take out into the garbage. Lesson learned. read more

Decent food, not the best, not the worst. It is open on Sunday and the prices are average. I've tried it 3-4 times and have tried the staples. Fried rice, lo-mein, beef broccoli. My fav is the Walnut shrimp. They also deliver. read more

I am not the type of person to leave a review unless the experience was worth the review, with that being said this place is terrible. We got take out and the food was stringy and terrible. Took a few bites and threw it away. read more

If you like Panda Express, you'd be missing out if you don't try this place. I tried the orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, and kung pao chicken. Seeing as this is a near duplication of panda - I'm going to compare each of these. The walnut shrimp was softer, and had the standard tense skin that normal shrimp should have. I've always been a bit annoyed by the texture of the shrimp at panda - and this definitely outshines it. Orange chicken was good - the chicken was a bit over cooked, hence my 4 stars. I'd say this is neck and neck with panda. Kung Pao - fantastic. The chicken and veggies taste so much fresher than most Chinese restaraunts. The owner is very friendly, and has been in the restaraunt business for 15 years. I plan on coming back the next time I'm craving some Americanized Chinese food. One last piece that made this place 4 stars IMO is the delivery - finding delivery on this side of the freeway is a rarity. 30 bucks or more, they'll deliver. read more

This is like the cheaper version of panda express but with more variety to it. I got the general tso chicken which for me was too spicy and the bbq chicken which was delicious. read more

I really wanted to love it here, especially since I live so close. But I really was just disappointed. As others have said, set-up is similar to Panda Express where you go up to the counter and they fill your container. They do offer a wide variety. Even at 1:30 in the afternoon they had a fair crowd, even though they just recently opened. Building is open and nice and clean, although not set up to handle large groups. Maybe it was because it was 1:30 in the afternoon but the food was not great. Well, okay. The BBQ chicken was actually really good. Grilled well, still moist, good flavor Because of that it brought the rating up to 3 stars. And the rice actually had a good flavor. Other than that, I couldn't eat the other things. Both the orange chicken and the sweet and sour chicken (both breaded) were overdone and very tough. The veggie spring rolls had a weird taste to them. Lo Mein was a bit bland. And even though they advertise that they have hot and sour soup, they didn't. Add on to all of that they want to charge you $.25 for a fortune cookie? They are new. Maybe they're working out a few kinks. But I'm not entirely sure if I'll go back... read more

Was excited to finally try this place out after driving past it for quite some time, but was sorely disappointed. The portions given were VERY small compared to most fast food Chinese restaurants in the area. A younger gentleman helped us out while two older men were hard at work in front of the stoves. I order a combination fried rice / chow mein plate with two entrees. The guy scooped one small spoonful of rice and one small spoonful of chow mein onto the plate, I had to try really hard to contain my dissatisfaction (although I'm pretty sure my face didn't hide it very well). My two entrees were Mongolian beef & mushroom chicken, also small portions. The fried rice was cold and a bit on the bland side. I couldn't find any pieces of egg in my serving. The chow mein was very dry and looked like it was reheated from yesterday's left over chow mein. Also, the noodles used were very thin, didn't look like traditional chow mein noodles. The Mongolian beef had mushrooms and bell peppers, which is not how the dish is customarily prepared. The mushroom chicken was just ok. read more

Happy Dragon Chinese Express - a plate of food - Chinese Near Me - Vineyard, Utah

Wanted to try something close to support local biz. Food is OK but in my opinion it's a copy cat Panda and Pandas better.

I understand that this is a pretty new establishment and many people might not heard of this place. It is very similar to Panda Express but is not. They both have the same concept. We found this place by accident, my brother and I didn't want to drive far and decided to try Happy Dragon Express. The place is clean like super clean which is a plus. The food in general is A-OK. I came here on two separate occasions and there walnut shrimp tasted different. The fried and white rice isn't the best. When requested white rice thought that it would be good. The rice I received was hard, what seemed to be sitting on the pot for more then it should be. The customer service it GREAT! The workers are so nice always willing to try new items that you haven't tired before making your final choice. Overall this place is great for anyone that wants something ready to eat and cheap! read more

I was excited to try this place out on Doordash, it looked yummy & fast! But alas, this food is just sad. I'm seeing other peoples food in different photos & it looks better than mine. My noodles are all stuck together & skinny, they're 2 different colors AND they're cold (plus, they have a very off putting taste, like a weird plastic taste to them). The honey walnut shrimp is all stuck together & insanely sweet (also, no walnuts). I can't tell which is the General Chicken or the Orange Chicken because they look the exact same. I'm just overall extremely displeased with how everything looks & tastes. I won't be ordering or recommending this food to anyone. read more

Decided to try this instead of Panda Express. Pricing was very similar, maybe only a dollar cheaper. Menu was a replica of Panda, except Panda tastes so much better. In the end I wished I had gone there since the broccoli had a flavor of smoke and the lo mein was as bland as you can get. read more

Honestly the food is what you should expect from a not-panda-express restaurant but the reason I keep coming is I like the staff here. If youre coming here then you probably already have your favorites so I won't waste your time. Spicy was spicy, sweet was sweet, and the wontons were great too. read more

I went here because Ryan K. gave this place a 5 star. Which I thought was insane. He said it was a slightly better version of Panda Express. Which if you know me... slightly better than Panda Express are the most beautiful words to me. (Not really). It was about what you would expect, a confusing menu, with overpriced average food. Slightly better than Panda because... it delivers (as in they have delivery, they don't deliver on promises, I could see confusion there). Confusing menu? Alex what does that even mean? It says, Choose Your Appetizer, Choose your Side, Choose your main dish. Which I interpreted to mean you get one appetizer with your meal. You do not. I was excited and got it because I thought it was all included. It was pretty expensive and did not reheat very well. I had the ... chickens. I can't tell you what they were but they are alright. Mongolian beef was gross. Rice and noodles as always were delightful. Cream cheese wontons... meh. Egg rolls ... or spring rolls (no one knows) alright. THE VERDICT: There really aren't that many restaurants in the area. It is this place... DQ, 5-star bbq, and great harvest bread. Who do you think is going to win? Sorry, Happy Dragon Chinese Express (which of those four words should I choose to make a pun out of?) More like Sad Dragon, more like Drag-ing me into the abyss of gross. More like... We Express that nasty feeling you get after terrible food. So... I rest my case. read more

This has become terrible. I even got fresh general tsaos, they cooked it right there. I had to spit it out. I hate to say that the panda place is better because they're not good either. read more

I wish I would have read the reviews before eating here. The food is seriously very gross. I got 2 of the 3 sides combos. Everything tasted old, gross flavorless and the pepper chicken was raw. We are all sitting here praying that whatever we did eat won't give us food poisoning. Seriously guys go else where this place needs to close its doors. No one should serve food as bad as this place! read more

Wow this was our first time and it's way better than Panda. The cream cheese wontons were REALLY good, and with the coronavirus going around, they only let one customer in at a time. Pretty cool. Or you can call in an order and they run it to your car. Can't believe we didn't eat here sooner. read more
