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.

this place is a great spot at an amazing price . we got all this food for $24 after tax . we are visiting from oakland so what a deal . . oh i forgot an egg roll too. we got sweet and sour chicken great crisp i can say it could use a little more sauce but they where so happy to give extra . the dinner meal is about $13 comes with an entree rice and an egg roll and ragoon. the staff is super nice and helpful

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
Cierra W.

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.

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.

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.

6/10 chicken in foil

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.

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.

Kung Pao Chicken Lunch Combo
Deonte D.

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

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

Peking rib

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

The atmosphere was great for people watching, and the food was top-notch. I had the Buddha's Delight with tofu, and the flavor in the garlic black bean sauce was incredible!

Unfortunately, our experience this time was quite disappointing, especially because I used to really enjoy this restaurant. The Peking duck was not at all like I remembered. Previously, the skin was separated from the meat and cooked to a wonderfully crispy texture. This time, however, it didn't resemble authentic Peking duck style, and the meat was extremely dry, almost as if it had been overcooked. I was really looking forward to this dish, so it was a huge letdown. The eggplant stir-fry was another disappointment. It had far too much vinegar, making it almost difficult to eat. The orange chicken tasted good, but there were so many bones in it that my husband, who has sensitive teeth, had to be extra careful while eating. On a positive note, the spicy beef chow fun was excellent and easily the best dish of the night. I do want to give credit to our server, who was wonderful and attentive throughout our meal. They consistently made sure my water glass was filled, and I truly appreciated the great service. Unfortunately, despite the excellent service and the one standout dish, the overall food quality left us disappointed. It's sad to say that this may be our last visit, especially since I genuinely used to love this restaurant. I was hoping to enjoy the same quality that made me want to come back, but sadly, this visit fell short of my expectations.

The people were very friendly and the place was very clean. They have a decent size menu.. I was here for the congee, but looking at the menu, I saw the rice paper rolls. They have gotten good reviews, so I decided to try the. Chinese donut rice paper rolls. I love the savory Chinese donuts. The donuts were wonderfully savory and crispy, and the silky rice paper played against the donuts, absolutely perfectly. I'm not sure what the sauce was that was on top of it, but I loved it. It was a perfect match to the rolls. I was only gonna have one and take one home, but they were so good, I ended up polishing off both of them. For my congee, I decided to try the grass carp congee. Carp are bottom feeders so they can definitely have a muddy flavor. However, grass carp, as their name implies, swim among the grasses. It is a firm, mild tasting fish. The congee was perfect, not too thick, not too thin, and I could definitely taste the ginger and the scallions. They played along perfectly with the mild flavor of the carp. Because I had polished off both of those rice paper rolls, I made it through about half of the congee, the rest coming home with me. For congee and other Chinese dishes, I now have another place that's in my rotation. I will be back. Thank you.

All the servers were very nice and our food came out shortly after we ordered. We ordered the shrimp and chive steamed rice noodle, Chinese donut steamed rice noodle, shrimp pumpkin and salted egg, half roasted duck, preserved eggs pork congee, and 2 cold lemon teas. My favorites were the shrimp and chive steamed rice noodle and the pumpkin dish. I always look for this dish and am so excited when I see it's on the menu! In particular I thought this one was perfectly fried. Both the shrimp and the pumpkin were crispy, golden, and not oily at all. I thought the congee could use more flavor for me personally but the texture was really nice. The duck was also great! Crispy skin but juicy meat and great flavor. I enjoyed the tea but thought it was a little too sweet for me. I thought it was fairly priced with good portions. We had plenty of leftovers that all warmed up really well once we got home. I would definitely go back again and have already recommended Taste of Original to so many people!

This restaurant is a to-go only restaurant, and gets plenty of traffic from the area. I went midday (3:00pm) and there were at least 4 customers in and out during the time I was there. While I was checking their menu, I decided to order, since I remember how good their chicken wings are. I ordered the chicken wings, and a lunch combo with chicken with black bean sauce. The combo comes with chow mein and fried rice and an egg roll for $13.99 but I asked for steam rice instead of fried rice. Unfortunately, I didn't check my plate before leaving the restaurant because they gave me all steam rice and no chow mein. Despite the error, their chicken wings are still the best, and the chicken with black bean sauce was very good. I would've like to have tried the chow mein. Also, I didn't notice that they charged $16.99 for the plate, which was a little steep considering I got no chow mein. Some of the condiments are extra, like the hot mustard, so ask for it before they ring up your bill. I'm sure I'll be going back for the chicken wings because it's made fresh and it's really good.
