I ordered three dishes in total, but the food was better than I expected. The coral shrimp baked and fried with salted egg yolk was crispy and delicious, and you can eat even the shell. One of the criteria for testing whether Cantonese cuisine is authentic is fried rice noodles. This rice noodles is the most authentic one I have eaten in nearly a year.

Chinese restaurant

First, the restaurant is pleasantly decorated, counter service and both the owners are super friendly. They have eight tables. We ordered two dishes, dined in; 1) Singapore Mei Fen or 星州米粉 deserves great mark, I have been to Singapore multiple times and had this numerous times, it's remarkably close. 2) Hunan Triple, very taste and has a mild sauce, I'm sure they can spiced it up for you, this dish won't disappoint you. We also had hot Chinese jasmine tea, they actually use loose leaf tea, not tea bags! Perfect for the dishes. We arrived at 6:30pm on a Monday, busy with carry outs orders. 3 tables were occupied. I would dine in again next time, your dishes will be better right off the wok. Very clean restrooms. From outside, inside, service, people, this is a 5-STARS.

It's hard for us to find a Chinese restaurant we really like. Back in Michigan there was one in the town we lived in that set the bar pretty high. We thought we found "our" Chinese restaurant with Peking City Bistro, but that place is now a disaster. China King is OK, but it's bare-bones Chinese with no atmosphere. Enter Happy Dragon. Just a few miles away and nestled inside Tyler Village, I think we've finally found the place we can call "our" Chinese restaurant. It's not full service, but it's "order at the counter and we'll bring it out to you" service. The place is minimally but tastefully decorated, and doesn't sport the kind of immersive/overwhelming menu that some Chinese restaurants do. Sometimes having fewer things to chose from is better. Food delivery was less than ten minutes and was served steaming hot...and it was SO effing good. Honestly, I don't think it took me ten minutes to finish my meal. I wasn't in a rush, I was just fungry, and this hit. the. spot. My only issue (if you could call it that) was that it didn't measure up to the spice level I ordered, but since it was our first visit I didn't have any kind of heat gauge to go by. Drinks come from cans/bottles. No fountain drinks, so drink price are per-bottle. If you're looking for a refill, reach in your pocket. When I eat an egg roll I like to add some hot mustard because, hey, it's been a while since I felt fire travel up my nostrils to the back of my head. I prefer a store-made hot mustard and Happy Dragon only has the little pre-made packets that look like a bad idea and desperation. As a result, and as much as I tried to use, I wasn't able set my scalp on fire. With the demise of Peking City Bistro, Happy Dragon is where we'll be getting our Chinese food fix. And I am OK with that.

I have eaten here in store and today I placed a pick up order. I was on a time crunch so I called in an order from their lunch menu. I ordered the pepper steak and onions this comes with rice and an egg roll. I love egg rolls, this one was small and not seasoned well, very bland. The lunch specials are a great value and a pretty good portion but taste was just ok. I was able to customize my order to make it extra spicy. It wasn't super spicy. My order was ready when I arrived it took about 10-15 minutes to be ready and since I called it in, there was no wait I was in and out. If you place a pick up order be sure to grab utensils, napkins and sauces before you head out. I will try other lunch options when I am on this side of town. They have about 5-7 tables to eat inside restaurant. Service is good.

Hot & Sour Soup

We were nearby and had heard from friends that the food here was good. Like many similar places this is a semi-service were you order at the counter, go sit at a table and they bring everything out to you. This is a family run operation and when we walked in the mother and her young son were behind the counter. The father was in the kitchen helping cook. The son was working the cash register and with a big smile asked us for our order. He was very cute, proficient and had a great personality for his age. My wife ordered her favorite, Hot & Sour Soup and Moo Goo Gai Pan W/Fried Rice. I ordered Hot & Sour and the Spicy Happy Family W/Fried Rice. Our friend ordered the Extra Spicy Hunan Triple. We sat down and very shortly the mother brought out our soup. Just as we finished the soup she brought our meals. The very generous portion meals are served in a large bowl with the rice on the side. Everything was served hot and delicious and we especially enjoyed the Hot & Sour Soup. We wish it was closer as we would certainly make this place a regular stop.

One of the best places for Chinese food and a great atmosphere for family and friends to gather…read more The entree portions are large plus they have a dim sum menu, which promotes sharing. Family dinners are available as well. I enjoyed my flavorful wonton soup, ate plenty of sweet and sour chicken, took bites of the Mongolian beef, and sampled most of the dishes around the table. I realize now that I didn't snap photos of everything! Service was attentive and friendly. Plenty of parking. I'm excited to return with my family.

I will never come back to this place…read more Let me start by saying I used to love this restaurant. It was one of our favorite. But now, it's on our list to never eat here again. It started with me placing an online order. This is new on their website while I was looking at the menu. I figured this would be best than calling the restaurant. How I was so wrong. I placed it with a 30 minute window. Ordered at 4:44 to be pick up at 5:14pm. I showed up to the restaurant at 5:03pm. There was about 4 other people at the counter. One person just placed their order, another person said her mom called to place the order but wasn't sure when it would be ready. They told everyone 20 min. I showed my ordered and they were going to be me 20 minute. I said I placed my order 20 minutes ago. Ok so I waited... Another lady came in and said that she placed her order around the same time online. Her order number was 140 and she had a long receipt with quite a lot of items. My order was 148, somehow. By the time I asked what's going on with my order at 5:15, they said they go by the order number and they're on 138. I don't think they processed my order until I arrived at 5:03pm. It took until 5:39pm before I receive the order in my hand. I only had very few items, one of which was an order for combination lo mein, plain mantou, shrimp tofu and wonton noodle soup. Mind blowing because I paid $50. The online system also charge a $1 fee, which I did not know about until I saw the receipt. Which would had been fine if my order was done in the time it was promised. Now, the staff was not the most friendly either... the person that handed me the bag almost dropped it because she put it in my hand, didn't say a word and turned and walked away. They cannot be any more rude than that. I was sweating profusely and shaking while waiting for a very long time while I am pregnant and nauseous. Now here's the review for the food. It was not good. We have had some on and off with their food and we haven't been back for a while so I wanted to give them another chance. But their lo mein was soo salty, and they used pad thai noodles. The wonton noodle soup was small container, so bland, literally no flavors, and the wonton tasted so bad. They put really hot tofu that was deep fried in styrofoam container that it put a hole through the container. So my paper bag was soaked and wet within the 6 minutes drive home. The mantou was so tiny for $4.5. Not worth it. All in all, the 4 items that I ordered did not worth the $50 for almost an hour wait, not worth my time or money. I wouldn't have eaten the food if I didn't already paid. Had I not already paid online, I would just had left.

It's summer and sizzly hot and electrical issues happen. We deal. This would easily have been overlooked if the service or the food had compensated. But our server could not have cared less about us and was aloof and cold, expressionless. Took forever to come to our table and barely checked on us the entire meal. Then, after waiting an eternity, we were both brought the wrong food. Yes, we each were served the wrong dish. We both had ordered scallops and we both got sashimi. We were so hungry that we simply went ahead and ate it so that we could get out of that place. Indifferent waiters do not HEAR well, apparently. I likely won't be back. There are simply too many other good sushi places in Louisville. This was more than simply "one bad night" for the restaurant, in my opinion. It was a composite of "yuck."
