    Honey Walnut Shrimp
    Angelica S.

    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.

    The presentation is excellent, timing was on time not to long not to short, ad the flavor was just right.

    Now that's Chinese food! Flavor was on point, portion, price. Only recommendation for the restaurant is to allow 2 entrees instead of just 1. But if you're craving proper Chinese takeout this is the place to go. Bay Area vibes.

    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

    I love this place. I have been going here for years. It's like it's gets better and better. There's not one bad thing I can say about this place. The owner Diana is thee best. Super friendly and has great customer service. I love coming here

    Green Bean Chicken
    KC C.

    I recently decided to try Happy Takeout after reading a Yelp review and wanting to explore some new spots other than my usual go-to places. I ordered the lunch combo, green bean chicken along with sides of chow mein and fried rice. Also ordered the sweet and sour pork lunch combo. First off, the flavors were great. The chow mein, in particular, was perfect--well-cooked, not too greasy, and packed with flavor. However, the fried rice was ok, it was hard and I like to have my fried rice not so hard. That said, the portions were super generous, especially for a lunch combo. You really get a lot of food for what you pay, and it felt like a good value overall. Despite the fried rice being a miss, it's a great take out spot if you're in this area.

    Hit or miss with seasoning. today HIT  Broccoli Chicken. Price has increased but you do get a full plate

    Not going to lie this place frustrates the heck out of me. It's really a 50/50 chance on the food quality in terms of taste and if you get the correct order. Be aware when ordering on the phone REPEAT the order item by item, and have THEM repeat it back AND check your food BEFORE you leave. Tonight's issue, I ordered a salt and pepper chicken combo with fried rice. I made sure to say boneless chicken NOT the wings (since of course they have made that mistake before) the diner combos come with entree, rice, chow mein. You can get fried rice OR white rice. Which is why I asked for fried rice on one order and white rice on the other. Imagine my surprise when I opened both combos and had no chow mein. This was my 13th reason for the day cause come on man. Initially I just said whatever but I was starving and was really looking forward to my meal. I called and said hey I didn't get any chow mein!!! Basically the lady said oh I thought you meant only fried rice and only white rice. For Christ sakes WHY would you think that since you get to choose between rice. Super frustrating. Customer service is whatever there in terms of front staff so take all this to how you like. Is this place good food .... Depends on the day. Portions are huge and that's great when the food is good that day. As much as I enjoy grabbing a quick bite at my nearest spot this is beyond frustrating and I may need to find a new spot

    The cucumber salad at this place has been on my mind for the last 4 days. In a desperate attempt to…read morerecreate it, I used too much garlic and made a giant mess in my kitchen. So I'm planning my next trip here this week so I can enjoy the amazing cucumber salad (so fresh, crunchy and garlicky), their pepper beef clay pot (sizzling rice at the bottom for the win and big portions), their spicy tofu (umm what?!? So crispy) and their awesome skewers (the pork belly is my favorite). The space is small, so if you're planning on dining in during peak times, you may want a back up or take it to go as they only have a handful of tables inside and a few tables outside. There is parking but it is shared with other business so can get busy. The service is wonderful! The hostess/waitress was very friendly and everything came out relatively quick. The clay pot does take some time (they need to cook up the rice to get that awesome crunchy bottom) so place your order for that first, and then look at the appetizers and skewers as they come out fast. This was my first trip but will not be my last to Da Fei Ge!

    I came here before on a weekday and it was mostly empty. The food was good and even though you…read morecould tell it was a mostly chinese-speaking restaurant, it wasnt too difficult to order. It was nice enough that I tried to come here on a weekend night and it was packed full of families which is great but probably where I should have thought about it more. We went up to the counter and were told to wait a few minutes. I saw that a large table was clearing up so I didn't mind waiting. During this time a group came up behind us and I thought they were after us. One of the server waved in our general direction after cleaning up and splitting the table, so I thought they were gesturing to us since it has already been 10 minutes of waiting. Wrong, it was to the group behind us. Maybe it was communicated in mandarin that they had a reservation, I'm not sure. I waited for the next empty table, which was also taken by yet another group that magically appeared behind us as if they knew they were in line. I decided to leave after this. My issue is that I looked and talked to the staff multiple times and at no point, did they indicate there was a waitlist, nor did they take my name, or anything about people in front of us. It was really frustrating because being told it would be a few minutes set the wrong expectation. This is not the only place to get skewers so if you're left confused where you are in line, just come another weekday, speak mandarin, or go somewhere else like I did

The rice wrapper was thin and the shrimp was meaty and fresh and had a good bite. The beef balls and shui mai were disappointing. The textures were too soft and didn't have much flavor.

This is different from what I'm used it and it felt too heavy. Overall, I'd go back but I'm also searching for other options. 8/10.

We ordered a ton of dishes, probably more than two people really needed it, but we wanted to make sure we got to taste some of our favorites. Overall, the dim sum is OK. My husband and I lived in the Bay Area for a while before moving to Davis for school, so our standards are pretty high. Unfortunately this is not going to be my new go to. Although the flavors of the food were pretty OK, we found everything to be really soft. Our shrimp and chive dumplings were literally disintegrating and my chicken feet were too soft. The sticky rice, however, and the tripe were delicious sui mai, and ha gao were pretty good, with the sui mai being pretty juicy. We paid $100 for 10 dishes! I know prices have gone up everywhere but this felt pretty steep. Overall, I don't think we'd come back. I would rather go to South Sacramento and eat dim sum there and then get my Asian grocery shopping done. Restaurant itself looked like a standard Chinese dim sum restaurant. Nothing to write home about.

We tried the - Mongolian bbq ribs - spring rolls - crab Rangoon - honey walnut shrimp - salt and pepper calamari - pork fried rice - Mongolian beef - Orange chicken - chow mein - green beans Everything was delicious. 10/10. Highly recommend the honey walnut shrimp and salt and pepper calamari. For our leftovers, we even had another server who kindly packed our food. Idk when we last had that happen at a restaurant. It was so nice! The interior decoration and ambiance was very cozy and elegant at the same time. We also tried the banana cream and chocolate cream - and these were so yummy!

Despite there being endless selections in Sacramento sometimes the American Chinese options are .... bleh ... They are either too oily. Mediocre taste. Overpriced. It's hard to find one that really stands out. Recently my coworkers and I all pitched in on takeout from here for Lunar New Year and ordered five dishes as takeout. One of my coworkers was the one who recommended this spot. Let me just say the food was incredible. The seafood chow mein was the standout dish out of everything. Loaded with octopus tentacles, scallops, shrimp. Feel like half the time you get seafood options these days they skimp out but this place did not disappoint. The fried rice was a little more unique than I've personally tried before with pieces of beef and cabbage. But still very tasty. And the pork dishes we got including the sweet and sour were just incredible. One thing I do want to mention was some pieces of the pork did have a bone attached, but I honestly didn't mind it much. The flavor made it up for it. Also inside of this place looks very modern, clean. Since we only got takeout I can't say for certain service for sit down but ordering and getting our food was simple. The staff were very kind and friendly. Again, THANK GOD I finally have a good Chinese food option. No more oily salty food or Panda Express.

The bad - the salt and pepper fish had a great batter, but I feel they're battered too much, and the actual fish piece inside is tiny. My house chow mein didn't have a single shrimp in it. Lots of beef, which was good, but the char smell from the beef was the only thing you could taste on the noodles. It's almost like the chef cooked the noodles on whatever the beef was cooked on. The noodles we had ordered from here a month ago had very good flavor, but not a one note beef flavor. There was a lot of beef and chicken in the house chow mein, but zero shrimp means the cook either forgot or they didn't have them and thought it would be ok to add more beef. Either way, I paid extra for my selection, and didn't get it. Am I Pissy? Yes. Am I honest? Also a Yes. 3 stars this trip, probably my last.
