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.

I always get the Mongolian beef with fried rice (no egg; I'm allergic) My husband always gets the General Tso chicken with the fried rice and he ALWAYS orders this and never has a complaint. My son gets the Sesames chicken also with fried rice and it's sweet and crunchy as they fry the chicken to mix in their sauce and it's worth every penny. Every time! Service sometimes can be short in communication but expected especially when they're working all day and don't have time to eat but their food never misses!

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!

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

Not polished. Sometimes the booths are worn out, the menu boards look like they've been there forever, and the place feels more focused on food than decor. Honestly? That's usually how you know the food is going to be GOOD. Great Wall reminds me of those places I grew up with. Real comfort food. Big portions. Fast service. Familiar flavors. The kind of spot where people from the neighborhood keep coming back because the food is consistent and made with care. What I also love is how places like this become part of American culture in their own way. Growing up, I remember going into spots for gyros, cheesesteaks, wings, fried rice, burgers -- all under one roof. Different cultures blending together through food and community. This place has that same feeling for me: unpretentious, nostalgic, authentic, and satisfying. Some of the best food in America comes from what my mother used to call "a hole in the wall." And I mean that as the highest compliment possible.

I was pleasantly surprised to find Peter in the restaurant, giving the employees a scolding about procedures and being his usual irascible self. He gave my girlfriend a "hard time" when he discovered that she had traveled all over Asia, but had never been to China. It was entertaining to see him (he looks great, by the way). The Web site is very basic, consisting mostly of a picture of the menu and the phone number. I had no problem getting through to a friendly staffer who carefully took my order and repeated it back with no errors. Everything was ready right on time, nicely packed into a large carton. We were helped by pleasant staff and Peter even carried the food out to our car. We ordered a variety of dishes for myself, my girlfriend, and her adult daughter. The Vegetarian Egg Rolls were excellent, crispy and tasty, but we were disappointed that no hot mustard was included. The Fried Pork Dumplings were fair, not quite as flavorful as some and a little over fried. The dumplings in the Wonton Soup were fine, but the broth was awful--tasteless dishwater. What a shame. This was the biggest disappointment. The Orange Chicken was excellent. The chicken was cooked perfectly--tender and juicy--with good seasoning that had a nice kick. The Garlic Vegetables were also nicely cooked, tasty, and well-seasoned. The Combination Fried Rice was well-prepared with tasty proteins, but it was kind of bland. Similarly, the Combination Drunken Noodles was well-cooked, but also bland. The Beef with Vegetables was pretty good. Everyone enjoyed the food, except for the Wonton Soup.
