Great food and amazing staff! Get the double-cooked pork with cabbage - my personal favorite! read more

reasonable priced they put eggs and onions in their pork fried rice. A lot of people don't do that and the taste is very good.

It is very difficult to find quality Chinese food so when we tried Happy Kitchen, I had tempered my expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Usually I get hung up on poor quality chicken or meat but had the sesame chicken here and it was very good. Came with a side of lo mein, which was also tasty. Would order from here again. read more

Happy Kitchen - Sesame chicken with lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Winthrop, Massachusetts

I have frequented Happy Kitchen several times in the past year. Although I don't live in Winthrop, I try to make a point of visiting when I go. Their standout dish is the wonton soup. I have had several, and this is the best in the area. Their service is timely, and they seem genuinely appreciative of their customers. I knocked one star for the chicken and broccoli, as the chicken in that dish has been inexplicably inconsistent. Hope to try that dish again soon. read more

Nothing is edible here . Has to be one of the worst Chinese to go food I had on my list. Seems like the food have been sitting there too long and dried up. These food should be thrown in the trash . Took one bite of the teriyaki and spat it out . Threw everything away basically after a few bites. read more

The garlic eggplant was fantastic. My spouse likes the orange tofu at Hong Kong Dragon a tiny bit more. It wasn't enough to be a deal breaker. Happy Kitchen is a take out place with a couple of kind of booths. The staff are really kind and friendly. Go to Happy Kitchen and Hong Kong Dragon! Eat more Chinese-American food. It's good. read more

Surprisingly good and very, very affordable. Their orange/sesame/Tso's chicken chunks have more actual white meat chicken in them than any place I've been. Best Kung Pao I've ever had actually. All while being the cheapest Chinese place in the area, at least that I have been to. It's a little hole in the wall and I let that fool me for a while but that was a mistake. read more

We ordered a few dishes for take-out: a tofu dish, a chicken dish, edamame, and udon noodles. The udon noodles were really good, very flavorful with fresh veggies! The edamame was average, nothing special-- if they added a warmed spicy option for edamame, I would definitely try it. Both our main courses (tofu and chicken) were fine; nothing amazing but not bad. The tofu was too soggy/soft and sticky for my taste, so I wouldn't get it again. I'll give the benefit of the doubt that the food may have been better dine-in. It was a little bit pricey considering portion size and quality. read more

Great little local Chinese take out place. Prices are great with lunch specials starting at $5.55 which includes the tax. They also have family dinner specials which look like a great buy. If your interested in dining in you will need to be lucky as there is only one 4 top available. I indulged in the # 4 lunch special which is Chicken or Pork Lo Mein with White or Pork Fried Rice. I choose Chicken and Pork Fried Rice for the low price of $5.25 + tax. The fish was quite large for the price and could actually be shared by two if you add an appetizer. Parking is scarce in the private shared lot but easy enough to get a spot out front on the street. The staff seems polite and friendly and may even be the proprietors. I give Happy Kitchen a Solid 4 Stars read more

We're in downtown Boston and we've ordered delivery from here a few times -- don't let the Winthrop location fool you, delivery is almost always faster than from somewhere where they have to drive through the city. The food quality is better than the prices indicate -- just keep in mind this is Chinese-American comfort food. It's not healthy, gourmet, or authentic, but it's always been fresh and tasty. There's a running commentary in the reviews about if it is or isn't like Billy Tse's. Listen, Billy Tse's is a Boston tradition, so I'd never say anything bad about his spot, but the way the food here is prepared IS very similar. Unlike Billy Tse's though, an order for two doesn't run us $100. They offer small portions and combination plates, which is impossible to find in Boston, but lets us get lots of different things to try. If you're looking for quick and easy Chinese delivery, this is a great option. read more

I need to balance all of the great reviews I saw about this place and give a more deservedly bad one. One review even mentioned that it was better than Billy Tse's. A person that can say that either knows the owner or does not have taste. This place serves unremarkable Chinese food. The beef and broccoli was bland and under seasoned. (I found myself over chewing because I couldn't swallow) The general gaus chicken reeked of vinegar and was over cooked. Spring rolls were greasy and undercooked. The fried rice was okay, and the lo mein wasn't terrible. I did like the crab rangoon though. I will not be coming back here even if they switched over management in the future. BTW this place isn't even in the same ballpark as Billy Tse's and I should of just ordered there. read more

I used to order weekly and completely stopped. The delivery driver doesn't want to walk up my stairs yet expects a tip. He's often intoxicated as well. Make sure you have the exact change for the tip otherwise he'll claim he has no change to give you and pocket the extra money. What delivery driver doesn't have change?! You need to fire that guy, he's hurting your business more than you know. read more

Ordered it last night and everything was exceptional. The spice level was on point, they didn't make it too spicy but definetly didn't skimp on fresh ingredients. Always delicious, in my opinion and prepared well. Delivery is always fast. Thank you! read more

This is my go to Chinese spot that delivers to Revere. Everything is fresh and the orange chicken with white meat is delicious. Much better than Billy Tse's and everywhere else in the area. Super friendly staff and delivery driver. read more

So I did end up trying this place another 3 times since the last review (I guess there aren't many Uber eats options around). I stuck with the sesame chicken with white or fried rice, or beef and broccoli. The quality really is to the point where I'd rather / might as well be eating McDonald's. Last two times the food made my roommate and I nauseous and gassy, today was definitely worse though and included bonus "MSG headaches" for everyone after their meal. Besides all of that, the taste has been mediocre throughout. Very bland, and largely just sweet, salty, or fried (texture, I know, but you get the idea). If you're shopping around Uber eats: I know it's rough out there, but if you love yourself you'll order elsewhere. read more

Ordered the beef chow foon and the eggplant. Both were very mushy, super greasy and pretty tasteless. I won't be going back here.

Absolutely the best Chinese food in Winthrop. These lovely folks KNOW how to cook tofu and it is very appreciated. The price is right too. They also have really great customer service. I had a couple small issues and they were very quick to resolve them. 10/10 will be returning for sure. read more

Our go-to Chinese food spot in East Boston. We haven't ordered anything from Happy Kitchen that we didn't like. From the soups, to their fried rice and lo mein, they know what they're doing. This time we kept it kinda simple and ordered the hot and sour soup to start off, and an order of the moo shu vegetable. Can't even begin to explain how hard it is to find top notch hot and sour soup. I'm somewhat of a connoisseur when it comes to hot and sour so I have to get it everywhere we go. Between the big portion of mushrooms to the amazing tofu, there's nothing that I would change about this soup. They even have the perfect spice to sour ratio in the soup too, which is so hard to find. I'll get it every time. Their moo shu has some great flavor, but this time it was loaded with cabbage which is the main filler of this dish. Usually they give a bunch of egg, mushrooms and carrots in it as well but I can cut them some slack because they're almost always on point. You can't beat a good moo shu and their pancakes that come with it are great, too. Happy Kitchen will make you have a happy tummy for sure. read more

They are so freakin friendly that they put the "happy" in Happy Kitchen! Always greeted with a smile, a little conversation and some laughs and the food is always ready when I arrive. The food is excellent. I haven't had anything that I didnt like yet. I've had the moo goo gai pan a few times and I think it is my new favorite. Their crab rangoon are always so crispy and filled to the brim, unlike many chinese restaurants do. I hope they stay! read more

I don't normally give bad reviews but after reading all the great reviews I am a bit confused. I ordered the General Gau's with crab rangoons and chicken wings. I couldn't eat more than a couple bites. The chicken was SOOOO dry. Both the General Gau's and wings. And the crab rangoons were more like fried wontons with very little crab and cream cheese in them. I was really hoping to love this place and make it my regular spot. But I think I'm going to have to keep looking. Sorry read more

Awesome service... fast delivery, warm food and many times very hot. The food is good, and when you ask for a special request they are very good at noticing details. My orders are always correct!! read more

Do not let their looks fool you, this is the real deal as good as any fancy restaurant. Happy Kitchen opened a week after I moved to Winthrop a few years ago and what a gem. I either pick up or have delivery at least twice a week and I have yet to find something that is not wonderful. Just like others have said, the service is personal and awesome and delivery is fast with hot food. They are really good at noticing details and my orders are always correct!! In addition, if you can imagine, my kids will even come and visit me if I order Happy Kitchen!!!! read more

Great quality food and really satisfying selections. The portions are always delightful and I live by their Lo Mein.

I ordered the fried wontons.. they were really tough, and i opened one up to see that they all weren't filled with anything?? it was just fried dough. i also ordered the chicken lol mein, which was flavorless and the noodles were over cooked and falling apart. read more

Best Chinese American place in Winthrop / Beachmont are. Very fresh, food is delicious and service is exceptional! Highly recommend

Ordered there for first time other day food was fresh and delicious nice to see since most places are awful and good sits forever under a hot lamp. We had pupu player for 2 with rice. Better price and food than anywhere else thanks again read more

Best Chinese food in Winthrop. No mushy old rice , fresh egg rolls , not mass made crab Rangoon's. Wicked nice people! Easy ordering . Don't believe bs negative reviews presumably from competitors! I eat out a lot and am pretty good at this review stuff! read more

Was so grateful to find Happy Kitchen for NYE! They food was delicious, the proportions were excellent.. especially for the price! I was also blown away by their ingenuity during the pandemic... they've converted their front door into a small window so you don't even have to go inside. I went to pick up my order and my food was politely slid out through a small window! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Big portions for the price. Quality taste and ingredients. They sent me fried rice instead of Lo Mein but corrected themselves and brought it to me 15 min later. They do however fail my duck sauce test which gives them a loss of a star. It is that generic orange colored sauce from mall chinese food not the brownish normal sauce and also portioned extra small. read more

Stay away from the chicken pad thai. It came in brown sauce and I couldn't even keep 1 bite down. It was just awful. Spring rolls were not great. Crab rangoon was fine. Overall though, a huge disappointment. Customer service was friendly with pick up. read more

Ordered the salt and pepper shrimp and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The shrimp tasted fresh, it was perfectly seasoned and breaded, and all of the peppers and onions provided just the right amount of kick! Will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

It's amazing Happy kitchen is the way to go. Me and my family love to go there. They have really nice chicken wings and amazing crab Rangoon. Their waiters and workers are every kind and make amazing food. read more

Had a big order of 12 dinner plates and this place rocked it. Every thing was spot on. Not 1 mistake at all. They helped me put everything on my car. And everyone bragged about the food. The best rice I had in years. Thank You for a job well done. This will be my go to place for work parties. read more

We picked up some takeout and the beef lo mein was a bit bland, the dumplings had more dough than filling. Wasn't amazing, but wasn't terrible. read more

Am I missing something with this place? Never had a good meal here, not a horrible one either just not as great as these reviews. One again had a tasteless meal of pad Thai.. maybe my fault for getting this from a Chinese restruant but eh. Got Peking Raviolis the were ok, I mean he can you need those up there premade and frozen. Prices are a tad high. I usually get Hong Kong and my wife gets Happy kitchen and her dinner is alreadys 3-4 dollars more than mine. If you have the choice go to Hong Kong waaaaay better food, fresher and cheaper!! read more

Just very basic chinese food. Nothing I'd "crave" from here. Service was not bad but we didnt get utensils or soy sauce which were both requested. Wouldn't order from here again. read more

Got take out on New Year's Eve. Food was delicious, and very fresh. We especially liked the noodles with ginger and scallion, and the chicken chow mein.Thank you! read more

We ordered through Uber Eats and we had no problem with delivery but when we got our food , The Beef Lo Min had a odd taste that we couldnt even eat it . It tasted like the oil or pan were old or dirty . The chicken fingers had the same issue , the oil tasted old . I wasnt able to get a refund through uber eats , it was frustrating throwing away 40 dollars worth of food read more

I love Happy Kitchen in Winthrop! Quick delivery, very friendly and HELPFUL staff! Maggie is awesome! I just ordered and we always use Happy kitchen when ordering Chinese food. Problem was we lost our menu and we both created plates that didn't exist I've had this happen before at other places when I lived in Everett and the place would have us call back or they would give us other options sayin substituting wasn't allowed! Maggie however told me how to locate the online menu via Yelp and then said she would include a new one with our order and also said no problem we will create your selection of appetizers as plates which was very nice. Also she was patient with my spotty cellphone as our condo has iffy reception. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALWAYS HAVING DELICIOUS FOOD, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND FAST DELIVERY. I'm 6mo pregnant and I also have a 17mo son who during both of these pregnancies I craved HAPPY KITCHEN so being able to have 5star service while pregnant is pretty epic lol Thanks Happy Kitchen for always being so awesome!!! If you have never ordered from here order omg food is sooooo good!!!! Only Downfall tonight was they forgot my duck sauce and one sauce between two people won't work out sniffles... it's all good always impeccable service read more

Was looking for a new chinese food to go place and stumbled across this one on yelp. I think I found my go to place. Everything tasted fresh and was greeted with a smile upon arrival. We will be coming back!! read more
