1 item plate w egg roll =$5.60.
Pat C.

Fast Chinese food, cheap, greasy, gets to the point. Not the most refined place to hit up for lunch but a plate of food + a freshly fried egg roll for $5+change is hard to beat, especially being located in metro la county area - this is a genre of food that panda express has for the most part put out of business in the past decade, so when I see one still dishing it out like it's the 90s I gotta give props where it's due. My plate was huge, may opt for the sub $5 chicken bowl next time, but for certain I will be back. 4 stars

Combo C :) Super Tasty

Combo C :) Super Tasty. The mushroom chicken is really savory. Orange chicken has a good sweetness to it. definitely coming back here again.Would give 3.5 if there was that option, it wasn't bad but not amazing. Egg rolls were mushy but the deep fried shrimp was crunchy and yummy.

Happy Wok is the go-to place if you're craving Chinese food and don't want to make your wallet cry! The food is always fresh, and they serve big portions you can share with others or, if you're a broke student like me, split into 2 meals. My favorite is the beef and broccoli because it tastes likes my childhood! The seasoning is not too salty or starchy, and the broccoli has a good crunch to it (i.e. not soggy). And the BBQ pork is the perfect combo of sweet and savory. The value for the food can't be beat!

This place Rocks..!! and it's Tasty..!! I was hungry while waiting next door to have my eye exam and decided to stop in to quiet my stomach. Wow...so much food for a good price.. The BBQ Pork was juicy and had a nice flavor reminding me of my childhood. I really like how the chow mein and fried rice tasted with my meal...I was sure full after this plate. Will definitely come back..!!..and now time for a nap..!!

This store has been in this community since I was a kid. My family said it has over 30 years history. I highly recommend the Chinese food here, delicious, reasonable priced and large portions. My family and I love coming here.

Friendly service, huge portions, but marginally chinese and super greasy. If it's any indicator,…read morethey DONT EVEN GIVE CHOPSTICKS. Think made-to-order elevated food court Chinese-ISH-style dishes. SERVICE: when we first walked in, the guy bussing tables onto his cart made eye contact, then COMPLETELY IGNORED US despite it being obvious that we were there for dinner. off-putting, i ALMOST WALKED OUT :/ Once we chased someone down and got seated, our waiter was super FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. Food came out quickly and piping hot. FOOD: PORTIONS-what stands out is the HUGE PORTIONS, one plate could probably feed to and perhaps three moderate eaters. QUALITY-unusually and OVERWHELMINGLY OILY. Way more than I would've expected, and detracted from the eating experience. **Cheese WonTon-wrappers were FRIED CRISP AND TENDER, but the decent dollop of cream cheese filling was overwhelming. **KUNG POW CHICKEN was the BEST DISH we had, barely spicy but it hid the oiliness better somehow. **NOODLE (?chow fun) SHRIMP was difficult to eat, and the EXCESSIVE GREASE COATED MY TONGUE so bad the i couldn't taste the shrimp or veggies. **BLACK BEAN BEEF was fair. OILY BUT FLAVORFUL. veggies were nicely cooked still crunchy, but the HARSH ONIONS were overpowering. sweet or milder onions would let me taste the other ingredients more. the beef itself was tender and tasty. I personally won't be returning, but I see the value due to large portions and moderate prices. i'd gladly sacrifice quantity for higher quality.

This is my favorite Chinese food spot in Pico so far! The Black Pepper Chicken is SO good and is…read moredefinitely a must-order every time I come here. The Coconut Shrimp is also delicious, and I love that they don't charge extra for shrimp like many other places do they price it the same as the other sides, which is a huge plus. The food is always fresh, and the owners are incredibly sweet and welcoming. If you want a dish made fresh, they're more than happy to make it for you. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The only downside for me was the drinks. I tried the Strawberry Green Tea, and it was very watered down with almost no flavor. The Milk Tea and Thai Tea were also lacking flavor. I really hope they improve the drinks because I absolutely love this place and would love to grab a fresh, flavorful tea with my meal. Overall, the food is excellent, the service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. I will definitely keep coming back for the food!

Pretty good, generic, Chinese fast food. I really wish the chow mein was a lot more seasoned and…read moreflavorful, but it was still okay. They do PACK the containers with a ton of food. I actually didn't think it'd close. So the amount you get for the price is worth it. Service is friendly and no complaints. A lot of food that lasted me 2-3 meals! Would come by again when I have a Chinese food craving for lunch.

Like holy smokes, are the chefs on steroids back there? A salute to their efficiency and time management. Family ordered the Thai fried rice, house special fish fillet, pork chop with Peking sauce, and a tofu dish I do not know the name of. The fish fillet was most definitely running the show here. It was heavenly with every bite. My brother and I had to practically restrain ourselves from demolishing the entire plate. Another deep nod to the chef's magnificent craftsmanship. Order this for a taste of no regrets. The servers were absolutely amazing. For a typical Chinese restaurant, it is pretty standard to be served and for the most part ignored unless you needed something specific. However, the servers here were right in the middle of the horrendous lunch rush, and yet they still managed to carry out gestures that genuinely touched me- one of the waitresses waited at the door and held it open for us when my mom returned from the restroom because they could see that my mom had limited mobility. The guy serving us also made sure he was always giving her ample room to move around amidst all the chaos and commotion of the restaurant. Considering the tables and chairs are inches apart from each other too, we were pretty cramped. I asked another worker for utensils later on, and he was genuinely so sweet going about it, patient and smiling. Service here really warmed my heart, which was such a bonus. The setting was probably the most intriguing part. I am not familiar about the history of this particular location, but considering the walls in the hallway had old newspaper articles and images of the establishment from who knows how many decades ago, I would say it's teetering on the edge of being a museum in itself. Makes for a cool peek into history, but the run down building and yellowing, stained walls in the hallway might throw some people off who are looking to dine somewhere that has kept more in stride with modern times. This visit was fantastic from beginning to end, and all the small details really made everything come together into a wonderful synopsis of food, family, and a little extra kindness.
