    Width of "family size" ( fits 4 chicken strips)
    Marc W.

    DO NOT EAT HERE. This place was substandard for food quality AT BEST and the people that work here are RUDE LIARS. We ordered carry out tonight. A FAMILY SIZED honey chicken. It came with 4 chicken strips, TWO PIECES of broccoli and less than one cup of rice. When I called to complain, the idiot insisted he had had no orders of honey chicken family size that night. HE LIED. I gave him the order number. I gave him the phone number. We had only picked it up 5 minutes ago. Nope. No orders. When I protested he insisted. So I drove back food and receipt in hand. And showed him the portion. He insisted it was the same family size "they've had for THIRTY YEARS". Again a lie. Since we've been ordering from here for the last 8 years the SAME ORDER I am confident of this statement. The food was always subpar. Usually they would mess up the hot sour soup (ask for no mushrooms get a bowl full of them). We carry out or have delivery because of how disgusting the dining area is. But for how minimally acceptable (shoot-we need dinner-let's order in) the food is the service is even worse. Your best bet in Monona is frozen dinner PF Chang entrees at Pick N Save. Skip these a holes.

    I was so craving Chinese food, so I ordered the Four Seasons, Chicken Egg Foo Young and Triple Delight. Got it home and literally could NOT tell which was which - why? Because all three were drenched in a tasteless, gleaming gelatinous, thick brown sauce (sauce is a stretch). Even my cats turned their noses up, and that was after I rinsed the gelatinous substance off in a colander. Totally killed my taste for Chinese food. Don't believe me? The pictures tell a 1000 words.

    Don't order the Lo Mein, it's not actually Lo Mein, it's spaghetti noodles, and don't bother asking for extra vegetables and pay the extra $1 because you won't get it anyway. This is the second time my order has come like this. $30 for spaghetti noodles.. thanks a lot.

    Happy Wok is a really solid and fast place for takeout. My fiancé gets it with the guys on his hour lunch. He's always been happy and always wants to get it for dinner. The sweet and sour chicken was a good deal, the taste was a tad bland but it did taste like most sweet and sour's I've had. The rice was good the first and second day. The meal that you're buying gives you enough food for a few nights. The crab Rangoons were ok, not oily and sweet but the ratio was off. The size of them are a little small, but you get a few in the bag. I really did like the egg roll, it was a decent size, crispy. It was a good meal with a couple nitpicks, but I'd get this again. Maybe try something else on the menu.

    Crab Rangoon, very tasty but not enough filling

    For your typical Chinese take-out, Happy Wok is very good, and I would definitely order from here again. My order was ready very quickly, and staff was very nice and efficient when I picked it up. I ordered the chicken lo mein, and it is probably the best I've had from any Chinese takeout before. There was a good amount of chicken and veggies in addition to the noodles. The sauce was a darker brown than I have seen used in lo mein, but it was AMAZING. The portion is very generous and could probably feed four people... but I literally couldn't stop myself and ate the whole thing it was that yummy! Totally worth it. I also ordered the crab rangoon. The sweet and sour sauce that came with it was fine, but it was abnormally thick and gelatin-like. To be fair, I don't love sweet and sour. I usually eat crab rangoon without sauce, so that didn't impact my review. While the inside of the crab rangoon was likewise DELICIOUS and some of my favorite I've ever had, there was sooooo little of it that I ended up peeling off about 80% of each piece because it was just plain crust/dough. Even the puff part that holds the filling seemed sadly empty. I wouldn't order it again, but if they got a bit more generous on their fillings, I definitely would cuz like I said, it was super tasty. Next time you're in the mood for some Chinese food, this is definitely the place to order from!

    Delicious-ness!

    The combo fried rice was absolutely horrible, very disappointed with their food. I have never had an issue before with them.
