    Wong tongs and spring rolls
    Gary J.

    We ordered here at Happy Take out because we had one of those nights where my girl and I just didn't feel like cooking, so she suggested this Chinese food spot down the street. It's a very small takeout restaurant, and I don't even think there's anywhere to sit and dine in, but that wasn't a problem since we were taking it home anyway. We ordered a couple combo specials. I got the Mongolian beef with chow mein and white rice, while my girl ordered the salt and pepper chicken with chow mein, fried rice. We also got some vegetables with chicken with a side of potstickers. My Mongolian beef with the white rice and chow mein was excellent. It wasn't overly spicy or overpowering with peppers, and the beef paired really well with the rice. The chow mein was a little dry, but not bad enough to ruin the meal. The vegetable chicken was surprisingly really good too. I'm not a huge vegetable person, but the sauce they used on the chicken and vegetables was a great combination. Sadly, the potstickers weren't very good. They just didn't have much flavor and were probably the weakest part of the meal. The salt and pepper chicken my girl ordered was really good as well. I kept eating off her plate. The seasoning on the chicken was so flavorful. This is now my go-to spot whenever we are craving Chinese takeout. I'll definitely be coming back again. Tip: Call ahead and pick up your order instead of ordering there and waiting.

    It's what you want in a Chinese takeout only spot. Get the lunch combo or the dinner combo. Good amount of food and super quick.

    Dinner combo: egg roll and cheese wonton

    Their food is amazing! I've had their chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, egg rolls, and cheese wontons. Every time I get them, the quality and taste are consistent. The service is quick. The staff are nice. Even when I get it delivered, the food is prepared so quickly! I absolutely love this place. The restaurant is small because their food is for takeout only. There's no place to sit inside. You can order at the window or call it in ahead of time. Your order will be ready within 10 to 15 minutes. They do not accept big bills and there's not a restroom available for customers. They do have a small parking lot. You can also park on the street.

    i have been here before and the place is super small with a small seating area to wait for the food. Doordashed some food and it came super fresh. I ordered honey walnut shrimp and peking spareribs. The spareribs were to die for! It was sweet, tangy, and saucy. The meat is super tender as well. Honey walnut shrimp was also delicious but the star of the show was the spareribs.

    Quick and good service at this Chinese food takeout. Lunch combo (Salt and pepper chicken, fried rice, chow mein, egg roll) was great for $10.99. Pre-covid prices and beats traditional fast food any day.

    Honey walnut shrimp

    I ordered honey walnut shrimp and it tastes like frozen shrimp because the breading was stale.. then the chicken chowmein had little flavor to it and the beef and broccoli had like 7 pieces of beef in it with lots of broccoli!! I will not be returning here at all. My favorite place is Heng Phat and I only came here today because they were closed.

    We ordered take out tonight. My husband said they were nice when picking up and service was great. I was so happy to get my food still steaming hot! I recommend trying this place.

    Another successful dinner with Happy Takeout! They accept Uber Eats also. A variety to choose from. The spicy mustard is amazing. Thank you staff

    The dinner place is not the same, its smaller portion now. I only got 5 pieces of meat.

    I was excited to try this spot as it states it was established in 1939 with some great history…read more Personally for me the interior seemed a bit out dated with low lighting. However, our server was incredibly well informative and friendly. We ordered and enjoyed our meal. Food comes out family style and we were incredibly full. My only criticism was that the orange chicken seemed to have no crunch. We had vegetarian tofu and mushroom dish that had a great flavor profile. I especially loved the fried rice as it tasted similar to the cooking profile of a Benihana style fried rice.

    In honor of dear dad, we decided to check out a famous spot located next to the Sacramento state…read morecapitol called Franks Fats. Circa 1939 and stamped on the cement at the front door. This is a famous Chinese food spot for local politicians for lunch and NBA stars and now the Oakland A baseball team. There is no back door or underground tunnel entrance or exit. Our server Yee was super nice and he liked us so much that he gave us a free slice of their famous banana pie. This pie is made fresh everyday. The pastry chef has 2 sous chefs to help. Their orders can be up to 300 pies a day! This very flaky thin crust with the beautiful layered at an angle with a fresh whipped cream topping. We wanted to try it but didn't want to get super full. We ended up finishing the complimentary piece of pie. We also had the wok fried pork spareribs that had this lovely seasoned jalapeño with that crispy bite but be careful of the bones. It reminded us of chicken wings. That crunchy crispy outside with perfectly cooked meat on the inside. The tip was to use the hot mustard and ketchup to dip it in. They give you a plate of various sauces from mild to super spicy. The sweet and sour soup is also made fresh every day with chunky vegetables with lots of flavors. We had the shrimp dumplings which were freshly made. The crab rancons were our favorite with chili sauce. These beautifully star shaped treasures were our favorites. We were super full. Parking was available due to no games going on. The street has parking but next door there is a valet lot for 12 dollars. If you're ever in the area, this is a must try experience. The place was packed but they let us stay and close the place down! Hence, this is why they've been open since 1939. Mahalo Timothy O'Connor for the recommendation! Loved the Buddha belly by the bar area up top.

    Absolutely delicious Chinese food! One of the best in the US. I'm also biased because I order off…read moremenu items. We usually call in 1 week in advance and order the coral shrimp and salt and pepper lobster. Their gourd melon clam soup is sooooo good. So is the double golden fried rice. These are our absolute must orders. We have enjoyed everything so far but the must order items are just delightful. They're very good about swapping out fresh plates. The servers are all very very very nice and attentive. The outside is unassuming but the inside is very nice and clean. Even the bathrooms are very clean. They play Chinese pop so I get to listen to good music too. They only have beer but you can byob and they'll provide the glassware too. I can't wait to be back again!

    Came here on a Sunday. It was just before 6 PM. It wasn't too crowded and got a table right away…read more Soon after we ordered and tons of people came in just after 6. The place got pretty full so I was glad to get there early. We ordered the Preserved egg pork Congee. It's the thing we get all the time now. They make it really well and my wife and I like it. She loves the egg but I let her eat that. I am not so much into that 100 year old egg. We always get the Shrimp wanton and love that too. This is our go to place lately for these two dishes. They do a good job and we are in and out in less than 45 minutes. The place is cute with little toy collectables throughout the store. The staff are nice and we come here like 2x a month or more. Worth a try I think you will like the food here.
