Wonton in soup were super dough, pork flavorless, sesame chicken with fried rice was dry, egg rolls were pretty good.

If you're hungry, this is the place to go. One of the best takeout Asian restaurants around. We called when we were already close to the restaurant and they prepared our order so fast, we only had to wait a few minutes. I got Bourbon Chicken and my friend got Chicken Lo Mein. Both helpings were SO big that we ate it again the next day for leftovers. You definitely get your moneys worth here. Bourbon chicken was perfectly sauced and comes with steamed vegetables underneath. The fried rice that was served with it was definitely authentic. There isn't much room to sit down inside and enjoy, but you could definitely find a space if you tried. Very nice staff, and very good food! read more

The wings are amazing and the pork fried rice amazing it's one of the best rice and wings i've had one of my family's favorite

A family favorite for years! Good food quality at a fair price. It is our go-to choice for carry-out.

I personally do not like happy dragon, but on Christmas Day it was the only place open. The sweet and sour chicken has always been our fav and their sauce is a BONUS. THE best sweet and sour sauce. The crab Rangoon normally would be perfect for me, not too creamy and not to... UN creamy lol Surprisingly I could go with more creamy. It was late last night bc I stayed up so I only had the chicken and a Rangoon. I can't speak about the low mein or fried rice. They gave us extra spring rolls so bonus haha Just not for me, I have my go to's for when I'm feeling like Chinese/Japanese. read more

Working remotely, sometimes you get tired of the same leftovers and want something different. That was me today, so I decided to Doordash from a place I had never tried before. Overall, the food was really good... it's just the little details the causes me to give only a 4 star rating. The Good: My food was sooo tasty! I had the General Tso's Tofu and it was really good! The tofu was crispy yet soft. The sauce was excellent and the veggie spring rolls were perfect. The Meh: I wish there would have been a little more broccoli. The broccoli to tofu ratio was definitely not equal, lol. The good taste made up for it. Also (I don't know if this is at the "fault" of the dasher or the restaurant) there weren't any napkins, plastic wear or chop sticks in my bag. Since I was at home, that was no big deal, I have all those things, but if I would've been at the office, I might've had to get barbaric with my eating... which isn't a good look ‍. The Ugh: I also ordered a can of Diet Coke with my meal. I hadn't had one in about a week, so I was excited to taste the crispness of it... I took my first sip and whomp whomp... it was FLAT... I took another sip and still the same... looked at the bottom of the can and it expired in June of 2020 . Talk about disappointment! All in all though, the food was really good and mostly made up for the other things (although I am a little bitter about the Diet Coke though, lol). However, I'd definitely eat from here again!! read more

Love the restaurant location, but sometimes the food isn't fresh and or even burnt. I hope they address this issue. read more

Happy Dragon - Uh....This looks absolutely disgusting. Not sure what happened to it, but all I know they need to fix it. - Chinese Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

If you want a lot of QUANTITY this is the place to go, but if you want QUALITY tasteful food then opt out for more authentic cuisine from someplace else. We ordered over 7 dishes (note: we only received six) and only two of them tasted like what was expected. To be fair, we were given an extra order of fried donuts, which were quite tasty, but it still didn't really compensate for the quality of food. Moreover, when I walked in to pick up the order, the cashier was on FaceTime and continued to be on FaceTime throughout the duration of the transaction. Overall, I wouldn't order from here again. read more

Best local Chinese place in Pendleton with delicious fresh food at a fair price. The staff is very friendly

Happy Dragon, is one of the better "fast food" Chinese places. It's small, bit there's always a comfy place to sit while you wait- and the wait is never long. When my food looks so similar to the photo menu, I'm pleased. Shrimp fried rice and General Tso chicken are two of my faves, but I've tried many meals here and they're all fairly good or better. Happy Dragon, happy Kai read more

This place is truly a neighborhood gem! Food is always hot, fresh, and tasty. Service for takeout is lightening quick. I keep their menu by the phone as a permanent fixture, and it is well worth it. read more

Happy Dragon - General Tso Chicken with fried rice (almost finished it before the picture!) - Chinese Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

The Spicy Fried Rice is sooo delicious. And the General Tso tofu? Outstanding! Good service and good food.

Very good, where do I start! To start off the general tso chicken was very fresh and hot out of the kitchen! The sauce was tangy and sweet, chicken was tender and high quality meat. Moving on to the sweet and spicy chicken. About the same story as the general tso chicken, sauce was good, overall very tasty. Miso soup was very tasty and hot. Chicken fried rice was very good as usual; was the classic spiel. Chicken, fried rice, peas, carrots, etc. Next up, the service was decent, not too friendly or welcoming but the food made up for it considering it was a hole in the wall restaurant. Decor was nice and made me feel comfy, would've been a five star if the service would've been better, but great food! read more

We stood at the counter waiting to serviced. Not only did the lady act like we weren't standing there she bagged someone else's food. Then she answered the telephone TWICE as if there weren't 4 customers standing inside waiting to order food. I will never EVER understand how or better yet why someone that sits at home and calls in receives better customer service than someone who drives to the location for face to face interaction. It's really sad what this world is coming to! Customer service is totally down the toilet! I do like there food but honestly how I'm treated at a restaurant bears a huge weight on whether or not I will return. read more

The food was great and the portions are definitely good for the price. The hot and sour soup and egg drop soup are great. I recommend them. I ordered the bourbon chicken and steamed white rice and they were all great. read more

Very disappointing. The chicken fried rice And the vegetable fried rice are not good. It's not traditional. No vegetables to speak of, no eggs, undercooked broccoli, etc. We tried This place twice just because I wanted to give them a second try but it was a waste of time and money. They are overpriced as well. I had the chicken fried rice, spring rolls, small crab Rangoon, and kung pow chicken. It was over $40. read more

This is my favorite Chinese food place ever. I have been ordering food here for around 15 years and never been disappointed. It is a family owned restaurant and the kids who used to be small are now older teenagers working the register. The quality of the food is great. Everyone I've ever brought here has been a big fan. Favorite staples are Chicken with Brocolli (always very fresh) and Chicken Lo Mein. Love their spring rolls too. Highly recommend this great spot. read more

Happy Dragon - Take out - Chinese Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Seems like this restaurant has been here forever, and yet it wasn't until a co-worker recommended this place to me that I've finally checked it out. And in fact, our conversation that day was centering around good local places that offer up vegetarian dishes, which was exactly why I hadn't tried Happy Dragon before, because I didn't see any vegetarian option on their paper menus that sometimes ended up attached to our mailboxes in the neighborhood. She told me that she discovered that they will substitute tofu for any other protein in nearly every menu item they offer. And even better, they won't upcharge you to do so! Needless to say, she had my full attention as we continued our conversation. The next time the rest of the family decided they really wanted Chinese takeout for dinner, I said I was willing to try Happy Dragon, and they couldn't believe it. We all grabbed our devices of choice and pulled up their menu on Yelp. I made a bold choice and ordered the General Tso Tofu. I'm pushing 50 years old and I've never ordered General Tso's anything, because it's always meat-based. I was so excited to try it! All of the takeout containers were really good sized. You definitely got a lot for your money. For a person like me, that means that I've got a meal today and definitely a lunch tomorrow too! The General Tso's Tofu was piping hot when I opened it up. In fact, everyone's meals were piping hot. And I don't know how much you know about tofu, but it retains its specific heat quite well. My container of white rice was hot too. The General Tso sauce was sweet and tangy, and had just enough of a kick in it, that it made my nose runny after a few bites. My whole plate had an electric orange glow to it as I was eating. This menu item doesn't comes with any sides, which is just fine, because I was stuffed after eating only half of the portion. COVID-19 UPDATE: After having a positive first experience here, we decided to order again to support local business during this pandemic. However, when we went over there, the signed says they are closed. We have no idea the scope of this closure, but we hope they are able to open back up when things are in a better way and safer. read more

The food is fresh and hot. The service is quick and efficient, they always have my carry out ready when I arrive.

Wow! This place was awesome. Food was hot, fresh and absolutely delicious! I ordered a lunch special (during lunch hours) it was around 5.50 and included fried rice and soup. The portion was huge for me 2 people could easily eat from it. They even included fried wontons to add to the soup. Food was ready right on time as I called it in. There appeared to be a small dining area so I guess you can eat there or takeout. I paid under 12 for crab meat rangoon, egg roll, and the entree. There is plenty of parking. I would say if you live a little far from this place its well worth the drive! read more

Ordered this for lunch one day. Very fresh ingredients and great seasoning. I had the sesame chicken it was really good not overcooked, not overly sweet. The only minus I would say was there was a bit more pepper flake than I'm used to but it was still very good. Fried rice was great not overcooked had great flavor. Crab Rangoon was about the standard you would find anymore very sweet cream cheese with little to no crab. All in all this was a great lunch time treat and was incredibly impressed with the quality of ingredients. read more

Wow for a carry out / dine-in this place is AWSOME. We have been dining at this place for years. I drive past 3 other Chinese restaurants to get here. And when he have friends over and we settle on Chinese, this is the place we go. They have AWSOME crab Rangoon and the ribs are amazing too. There is always plenty of meat in the dishes they serve. They place is clean and staff very professional. When they say 10 minutes for order to be ready they mean it. The dine-in area is small and nothing fancy. The food is AWSOME great flavor. And the place is clean. read more

This place is pretty decent for Chinese take out. It's our go to in the area when we need dinner quick and I don't feel like cooking. Staff is great, food is ready quick, hot and fresh. Do wish they had online ordering, and lately their website doesn't even work. read more

The food here used to be really tasty. I guess I can say it's inconsistent. Fried rice was ok and kinda soft. Crab Rangoon and egg roll were tasty. The cashier isn't the nicest but I guess when it's the closet Chinese food in the area, I deal with it. Just ok. I almost don't want to go back though. Don't feel comfortable letting them know the scallops with chili sauce wasn't good. It's like they never made it before. I expected sautéed scallops with vegetables like pea pods and other veggies. Not a spicy sweet and sour mix with frozen peas and carrots. The scallops seemed boiled in the sauce not sautéed. I would have preferred for them to say they didn't have scallops than make this. I also had to ask for sweet and sour sauce for the crab Rangoons and egg rolls and the cashier seemed annoyed. I would think that'd be a given at least for the crab Rangoons. I don't eat them with the packet duck sauce. read more

Happy Dragon - Scallops w. Chili Sauce Not good - Chinese Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We ordered pork fried rice, pork lo mein (only carrots) and crab Rangoon. Got home and had chicken fried rice, an egg roll and chicken lo mein with all the vegetables. Don't usually mess our order up, but this time very disappointed. Could not really call, it was Christmas night and they were extremely busy. read more

Haven't been in awhile. Went Saturday for carry out. They have interior set up safely during pandemic. Food was cooked to order, very fresh and tasty. Service, as always, fast, courteous, and friendly. Hot and sour soup is the best in town. Great place to pick up something quick. And servings are HUGE. left overs for lunch!! read more

Had high hopes for this place as it is close to our house and would go there often, but literally all the food I ordered from there ended up in the garbage and uneaten. Went for their lunch special, prices were reasonable. Cashew chicken with nuts, bourbon chicken, and spring rolls. Upon opening the entrées, they both had an off odor, an unpleasant one that was not appetizing at all. And they tasted as bad as they smelled. I ate the white rice and threw the rest away. I'm not sure if it was bad chicken or something in the sauce but it was awful. The eggrolls and spring rolls were average, a little over cooked but the flavor OK. I'm sorry, but we will not be back, which makes me sad because I really like to support local businesses. I guess I'm a little confused by the four stars it's receiving, so it looks like everybody else's experience was better than mine. If it was one dish that was bad but the other one was OK that would be one thing, but both dishes just didn't smell right and taste right. read more

Great Chinese take-out. Nothing revolutionary here, but it's pretty good. I like lots of veggies in my Chinese and this place doesn't skimp on veggies or shrimp--my dishes are always chock full of the good stuff. Also, the veggies are still crisp, not all squishy. Again, nothing new or different, but well cooked and seasoned. read more

Very good and hot food, but bad and rude service. I went in to order takeout and the woman at the front desk was on FaceTime and was very short and rude with me. Love the food and menu options but very poor service! read more

This was my first time trying this place. We ordered ahead. No issues getting our food, and it was ready by the time we got there. You can expect your standard Chinese options. I read a review raving about the Szechuan beef and dumplings, so I ordered both. The beef was tender and the veggies were good. The sauce was just the right amount of sweet and spicy. The steamed dumplings were very good. The fried rice was also very delicious. We will be back for the rice and dumplings! read more

This place rocks. I've been a regular for 14 years and find it hard to find a better value then Happy Dragon. All the garlic dishes are fab. Crag Rangoon rocks. Its been great to see the owners kids grow up from infants and now they work the cash register. Excellent and timely carryout. read more

Where as there's a lot of "hole in the wall/strip center" Chinese places around Indy that are pretty darn good, I would put this place say.... a notch or so above most except for the steamed/fried dumplings. I call this dish (an appetizer, BTW) out because these are the very best that I've ever had anywhere and at any cost. The owner is a very nice lady and treats everyone well so count the service as being very good also. I asked her why her dumplings were so much better than most and she proudly said "HOMEMADE"!! Yes ma'am... I believe that!! So.... if you're close and wanting some Chinese, check this place out! And if you like dumplings/pot-stickers/dim-sum or whatever you like to call them.... I recommend giving these babies a try!! read more

I've never had a bad meal here. Friendly, family run, and they make their food fresh. The orange chicken is incredible and a family favorite. I've been ordering from them for over a decade and don't plan on stopping. read more

IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC OR HAVE LOW TOLERANCE TO MSG/mono sodium glutamate. Then DO NOT EAT HERE. Prior to ordering it was specifically asked if they used it in the food. Because we had a family member highly allergic and could not tolerate any. The woman on the phone replied - MSG FREE - unfortunately my family member ended up having a reaction and was taken to the ER. People need to be responsible and accountable. It was an awful scare for us all. read more

Great Chinese food! I've never eaten inside, but we get carryout a lot. Great value for the money, and great location! They are seemingly always busy so you know it's great! read more

I just called in to happy dragon to place an order and the guy was extremely rude. first off when I answered to phone he just said "yea hold on" I waited for several minutes and when he got back he just said "what do you want" very aggressively with no hello or anything. I started to order and because they don't have their menu posted correctly ANYWHERE. Most of what I was trying to order was not on their menu and the guy I spoke to just told me "find the right menu and then call back" and hung up. I honestly will never go there just because of the service I received over a short phone conversation. A little bit of kindness and patience goes a LOOONG way. read more

We have been getting carry out from here for years and believe that there is none better than Happy Dragon. Be sure to get their eggrolls.
