Chicken before adding or own sauce

Good reviews are fake. Only good thing we had were the wontons. Sweet and sour Chicken dish came completely dry with no sauce. Giant pieces of onion, carrot and green pepper not even cooked. Fried rice was bland - didn't even have any eggs or veggies. Sesame chicken was awful. First and last time ordering here.

Ruthless lady

Ruthless lady here! I've been coming here for years and never had a problem but tonight but tonight she must've been looking out or something. She asked me why I was taking forever in my vehicle. I mention the situation with my mom and she starts laughing about it. I thought I was gonna come in for a quick and easy visit to pick up food go home and have dinner. But she just ruined my night and I end up asking for a refund. I'm not sure if I'll be coming back here if anything it'll be a while.....

Driven past here numerous times and never noticed this restaurant. This really bums me out because I loved the food and the service. I wish I had tried here sooner. The food was all excellent. We dined at the restaurant and they seemed to have a ton of to-go orders. But we had our food probably in 5-10 minutes after ordering. The Sesame chicken had a fantastic crisp to it. The egg rolls were massive which I was not ready for but they were really good. Crab Rangoon was as I expected, no better, no worse. My wife ordered the chicken with garlic sauce and I got to try it and it was super good, crispy, but heavy. Those pieces of chicken definitely made us full really quick. The service was superb though. We were there with our 4 year old and before we even exchanged words the guy at the counter grabbed some fortune cookies for my son who was ecstatic about it. I just love the forethought the guy at the counter had to put a smile on my son's face. That gesture is the best example I can give at the hospitality this restaurant provides. The sitting area is simple and gets the job done but it would be awesome if they got some booths in the future because we would love to dine there again!

Menu as of 6/28/24

I only ordered the chicken fried rice to go. It was ready in 5 minutes. Very large and generous portion for a reasonable price. Very nice people.

Sweet and sour chicken and egg roll

I was so disappointed when I got my food. Normally the food is wonderful.. this time.. FULL OF GREASE!!!! I ordered sweet and sour chicken, one it was fried way too long and you can tell it was fried in old grease because grease was EVERYWHERE! I had to throw majority of it away! Word of advice, don't order after 7 because 9 outta 10 times, you're going to be dealing with greasy food. What a waste.

Giant cabbage egg rolls

This place is the best "hole in the wall" you'll ever find for Chinese food, my family has been coming here over 20years and we absolutely love this place, service is always timely & friendly .! The egg rolls are probably one of the best things they have! We love the garlic chicken and combination fried rice.! I reside in San Diego now but every time I'm home I make it a point to eat here! There's no other place like it! We love you lotus!

Mix of four dishes, two half spring rolls (a regular one, and another the size of a croissant!)

After all these years, Taste of China still slaps…read more Not much as changed since pandemic times. The dining room is still closed, they essentially keep the dining room as a storage closet lol. You walk in to pick up your order and they have tables blocking the entry, that's where you pay for your food. The portions are still as giant as ever, and the prices are still affordable. My wife and I had a hankering the other day for our old stomping grounds, so we jetted over there to pickup an order. It was ready in 10 minutes and two meals ran us $32. I think I pay $32 for a good cup of coffee these days!!!!!! I kid, I kid. The meal lasts you for days, you really get two giant sized portions out of it. It will probably last some of you three days. They don't skimp out here and it's incredible. They serve Asian fusion, Chinese American meals that are addictive. Or is that the MSG??? Probably so, and that's why it's delicious. The food is just so damn craveable! Don't break the bank. Get what you really want. Taste of China, we still love you so much.

(Note, they are closed on Tuesdays.) I placed our pickup order on a Saturday night & it was ready in 15 minutes. The restaurant is for take-out only. Our food was in containers & placed in a box. I appreciated this since there was no way anything was going to tip over & spill. Very friendly phone & counter service as well. Note, you get six free Cheese Wontons when your order is more than $40. We ordered three different entrees with three different sides - Steamed White Rice, Fried Rice & Lo Mein Noodles. The sides were good, however the fried rice didn't seem fried, it was white rice with soy sauce. The Sweet & Sour Shrimp Entree was tasty - the shrimp were medium sized, cooked perfectly with a delicious sauce. The Sesame Chicken Entree was even better, the chicken was moist & tender. The beef in the Mongolian Beef Entree was great however there were way too many onions in the dish. Overall, a very satisfying meal.

Delicious and authentic. What more can you want from dim sum?…read more Be sure to get here early as the wait can get lengthy. So plan ahead, though the food is well worth the wait! Carts rotate and display their options to you frequently as you enjoy your meal. So tou can order plates as quickly as you finish them. I recommend the pork buns and pork ribs. My favorite this time around were the leek dumplings with a side of noodles. We finished off with a coconut bun that wasn't too sweet. It was the perfect finish to the meal with ample amounts of tea. Use the kiosk up front to reserve your spot!

This place used to be the classic on dim sum, but the food seemed to be very generic now…read more XLB or soup dumplings is always the classic for most dim sum or Taiwanese eateries. Here unfortunately looks to be pre made by some factory somewhere and not freshly made? From picture, you can see the skin stick to the tin container and thus the soup has all leaked out. The beef with flat noodles was also a bit disappointing in that the beef has no texture as in they used too much baking soda in overly tenderizing the meat. The noodles also seemed thinner than the ones I'm more used to back home in Texas. Overall, it was just an ok place, which was a disappointment since I drove my mom from ft collins just to have some dim sum with here for the weekend I'm here visiting.

The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helped answer a few questions we had about different dishes. We had about a 20 minute wait for our table, so we grabbed a couple cocktails at the bar first. I had the Harmony in Beijing and my girlfriend had the Oolong Old Fashion. Both were really refreshing and a great way to start dinner. One thing we really liked was the ordering style. Once you're seated, you just keep picking out small plates you want to try, just like a lot of dumpling shops in China and Japan. It honestly brought back memories from my trips over there. The atmosphere and decor was beautiful and felt authentic without trying too hard. Our favorites were the Spicy Cucumber Salad, Spicy Green Beans, Beef & Vermicelli Dumplings, Hot Sea Pork and Shrimp Dumplings, Pork & Chive Dumplings, and the Crab Rangoons. Everything was fresh and came out pretty quick. We also ordered the Chicken Lo Mein, but I only had one bite because we bought it to give to a homeless woman we met at the park near where we were staying. The biggest downside is the price. It's very, very expensive for what you get. Dumplings that were basically the same size and quality as ones I ate all over Japan for $4-$7 were over $14 here. A pretty small plate of stir fried green beans being around $20 was kinda hard to justify. The only dishes we really didn't care for were the Chinese Style Broccoli, which was pretty plain and lacked flavor, and the Pork & Mushroom Dumplings. They tasted good, but they were dry enough that I probably wouldn't order them again. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and would definitely come back, but probably only for a special occasion. The food and experience were great, but the pricing keeps it from being a place we'd visit regularly or for a casual night out.

My group of 7 shared the roasted pork, pork and duck barbecue. I'm not a fan of duck so it would not be fair for me to write anything about it, but those who loved duck meat said that this place serve wonderful barbecue duck. As for the pork, both roasted and barbecue, they were so good. We had a little bit of white rice to eat with the meat, but really, you don't need the extra rice in order to eat these two types of pork meats. Since both styles of the pork were prepared differently, I cannot say one is better than the other: they were both delicious. The crunchiness and the flavorful from the roasted pork, as well as the aroma and the soft chewy from the barbecue pork, brings this dining experience to the next level. We also ordered the yu stir fry choy sum in garlic, the combination fried rice, and salt and pepper shrimp. I highly recommend the yu choy and shrimp dishes. I would skip the fried rice and get their beef chow fun, which is exactly what my other group of 6 did. In addition to what were mentioned above, they ordered Chinese broccoli, daikon and beef in clay pot, Taishan five spice duck, salted fish & chicken fried rice. Everyone enjoyed their food and dining experience here. Conversations were easily understood and heard. When asked what their favorite dish was, all of us said we liked everything, but when pressed to give one special dish, several folks mentioned the roasted pork, the clay pot, and the salt and pepper shrimp. Service here was excellent. The manager was very accommodating to our large group of diners, coming back and making sure we are doing fine as he refilled our water glasses. If you are looking for legit Chinese barbecue pork and duck, you don't need to look further: it's here at Happy Cafe BBQ. Enjoy!

So glad happy cafe is back! And the BBQ is a nice addition. Everything was delicious!read more
