It's a pretty decent bare bones Chinese place. Definitely more of a place where you get takeout or delivery. They do have some seating inside but I've never seen anyone actually sit down there to eat, for some reason. They have pretty fast service which is definitely a plus. It's a big menu but the quality definitely depends on what you get. I like their sweet and sour sauce and the lo mein noodles are normally pretty good. They also have several types of chicken wings you can get that aren't too bad. read more

See all

We got takeout from here... my in-laws say they order from this place all the time, so we agreed to get food for the family Friday night. They had the usual lineup ready to go... sweet and sour chicken, bourbon chicken, chicken lo mien, Mongolian beef, and fried rice. We were going to get honey chicken but decided to try the sweet and spicy chicken instead... figured we'd switch it up. The sweet and sour chicken had a nice crispy crust and the texture was great... definitely a hit with the kids. I didn't care much for the fried rice though... it was kind of dry, not much seasoning or veggies, and looked more like brown rice than that yellow fried rice we usually see back home. The cream cheese wontons were packed ... like really packed .... with cream cheese. Maybe too much. Would've liked a little crab meat or some chives in there... something to break up the richness. The rest of the food was solid and we all found something to enjoy. The sweet and spicy chicken was the odd man out... I thought it'd be battered chicken in a sticky honey sauce, maybe with peppers. What we got was more like white sliced chicken with onions, bamboo shoots, baby corn, snow peas... in a light white sauce with some pepper flakes. Not what I expected, but it had a unique flavor and a good mix of textures. My in-laws seemed happy with it all... I'm still curious to see what else is on the menu next time. I will say the takeout was well packaged and organized... everything traveled just fine. read more

The best Szechuan Chicken in the entire Tampa Bay Area. All the ingredients were super fresh.

Food is really good especially for a carry out restaurant, service people are very attentive

Amazing food. Only thing is that the counter staff seem indifferent. Ot is the basic Chinese take out restaurant with amazing food. Recommend trying it. read more

Absolutely horrible! I've never had vegetable low mein with brown sugar and it was so sweet and disgusting we couldn't eat it! The chicken in the Chicken Fried Rice was obviously boiled and added after the rice was fried. Yuck! There was so much fat on the meat in the Beef with Broccoli芥兰牛 it was inedible! We didn't even get fortune cookies! Not to mention it was $80.00 for 3 people. I don't know who the paid to give them 4.6 in review, but yall definitely need to look and see if it's actual customers! read more

We got take out from here and I was surprised that it was pretty good. Lakeland doesn't have any really good Chinese places, this one will do. Didn't get anything unusual, moo goo and broccoli beef and egg rolls, naturally. This is our Chinese place now. read more

This is the best Chinese food I've found in Lakeland hands down! We ordered 3 different meals and everything was great! Will definitely be ordering again! read more

Giant portions. General Tso's chicken was actually spicy like it supposed to be. Loved the egg drop soup mixed with Wontons. Live .4 miles away and just tried them. Great surprise especially since I have been driving 2 to 3 miles for Chinese food. My wife told me to mention the 4 times the amount of cream cheese in the fried cheese homemade Wontons. Also enjoyed the boneless spareribs. Can't believe it took me 2 years to try this place. I read some reviews that were not very good but I believe those people should try them again.Great read more

We just ordered on June 9th 2024 and it was great. Food was still steaming hot even after picking up and a 15 minute drive home. We ordered general tso, garlic beef and sugar donuts. All was amazing and exactly what we expected. Our pickup time was estimated 20-25 minutes and at 20 minutes from my call, my order was on the counter and waiting. This was our first time ordering from Happy House and we will definitely be ordering again in the future read more

Generous portions and food was very good. They have really made a major improvement to the quality of food.

One of my favorite spots in Lakeland! Huge portions and the staff is very friendly! Decent prices too

It was good I loved it some good Chinese food I loved the noodles and the chicken was served hot and ready

While we were sick, we ordered food from HH two times in two days, and we were very impressed. The food was good, hot fresh, and the Hot and Sour Soup was the best I've had in LKLD. read more

I live in Tallahassee, FL. My parents had a very special anniversary. They live in an active retirement apt. Azalea Retirement. They said it was great having meals delivered, but they missed the restaurants due to COVID restrictions. I decided to get them Chinese food food . They loved the idea. So I even wrote to UberEats driver that does the order to Happy House this was a special occasion. Get it right! They got it on time but they couldn't eat it as it was awful. Hard, dry rubbery chicken. Nothing was as anticipated. Bad tasting for their 30th anniversary. From reviews, I wanted to use ThePekingHouse.com. I had an UberEats $30 promotional offer. When I did that, the bait and switch came into play, said Peking House not available, pick another. When I wasn't using the coupon, Peking House was available. I tried for quite some time. I hate feeling like I was not informed. It took a long time. Definitely a hide the peanut deal. UberEats did not put any "notice"... if they did, I missed it. What a big effort for a special day and huge letdown!!! My advice, as I knew zip about either place, relying and hoping that it would be great; it wasn't. So forget the "deal??" by UberEats and pay to get good quality food. Ruined a special gift on their big day!! I was embarrassed but it was not a Happy House. Rely on many reviews. I wondered if there is a special deal with UberEats and Happy House??? Just be forewarned. I guess you get what you pay for. Bill would have been $49 but only cost $18: Beef lomen, bourbon chicken, wonton soup, egg rolls, I paid for two fortune cookies, house fried rice. read more

Food was great and hot, the lomein sometimes has been dry but other than that, this is our local takeout place we order from. The young school aged girl at the counter could be a little more friendlier:( read more

The worst Chinese restaurant I have dined in, for many years. Poor service and ambience. They actually set aside space for their child to have a game console.. Crayon marks on the walls of his "area" very tacky. read more

Food wasn't very good. It had no taste. Honey chicken was all breading with small dried out pieces of chicken. Krab rangoon had no meat. Shrimp lo mein was tasteless. We have eaten here before but tonight was horrible. read more

Disregard previous reviews...This place is very nice and accommodating. The food is great and the staff is lovely as well. It is a family business so their child does have a space to study but it is in no way an inconvenience; she is very sweet as well. Their vegetarian options are the best I've had in Lakeland. The building is a little hard to see from the road but inside is cozy and welcoming. My girlfriend and I eat here 1-2x a week and we love Happy House and their employees! read more

6856 S Fla. Ave. Lakeland, Florida 33860 Happy House Chinese Restaurant...I'm here to let people know this is the worse ever place for chinese food Rude,Nasty people delivery took over an hour and my order was wrong I called to see if they would fix it instead they started calling me names and when I told them I was going to tell people all about them and their attitude I was told they didn't care I'm here to let you know don't eat at this place the food isn't that good anyway I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE read more

Ive eaten take out here a few times and love the food but heaven forbid they have to go an extra 2 miles for a detour to make a delivery. They called me to cancel my order due to the road being closed and they would have to take the detour. Having the audacity to ask me to come pick up my order. Thats why its called take out. Pizza it is then. Absolutely sad. read more

Food is okay, but my order was wrong. I called to complain and they had an attitude with me. My receipt wasn't in the bag and whoever was on the phone told me to add the prices of the food together and it would match what we paid. And then he hung up. If you're going to eat here, I would suggest picking it up and double checking your bag. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Lakeland! We order several times a month for pick up. Great prices, especially their lunch specials. The beef and broccoli is one of the best I've had. We also really like their sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, crab Rangoon, BBQ ribs, egg drop soup and my most favorite won ton soup. The food is always hot and fresh! Try this place, you won't be disappointed. read more
