    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.

    I like the fact that the service is always very quick here, the overall location looks a little sketchy but the food is safe and taste great. Something about how they prepare and marinate their bbq pork, keeps me coming back. Prices are extremely cheap for the amount of food you get. Good place to indulge and satisfy your Chinese food craving.

    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.

I've…read moreseen social media influencers rave about it, and several people in my personal life have recommended it too. All I can say is the hype is real. My crew and I went on a Friday night, and even though it was very busy, we were seated fairly quickly. There were four of us, and here's what we ordered: chicken fried rice, Shanghai-style chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and juicy pork dumplings. Chicken Fried Rice: It was soft and pillowy with great flavor, though I felt it could have used a bit more color. It looked a little pale, but it was still delicious. Shanghai-Style Chow Mein: This was perfect. The flavor was spot on, the sauce was well-balanced, and the noodles had the ideal texture. The ratio of noodles, vegetables, and meat was just right. Sweet and Sour Chicken: This was the highlight for me. My only regret is not ordering more to take home. The chicken was crispy without being overdone, and it was coated in that delicious sweet and sour sauce. Juicy Pork Dumplings: We were at a dumpling house, so we had to order dumplings. These did not disappoint. They were very flavorful, and the broth inside was rich and satisfying. We originally planned to order more dishes, but the portions were generous, and we ended up with just the right amount to leave satisfied. Overall, this place lives up to the hype. I can't wait to come back and try more.
