    Two Items Combo Plate Beef with Broccoli, Kung Pao Chicken and Chow Mein
    Kassandra L.

    We tried this place for the first time on a Sunday evening. There was a good amount of people picking up orders, which led me to believe that the food was yummy. The place itself is small and only has about 3 tables, I'd recommend getting your food to go. As far at the menu goes, you can pick a combination plate (which is the same concept as Panda Express) or you can order individual items. One huge perk of this place is the portions are no joke, you definitely get a bang for your buck. The food on the other hand was just okay. It was a bit too greasy for my liking and lacked flavor.

    Mushroom "chicken"?

    Y'all stay lying... this was a waste of money. I tried based on the reviews and I had to keep checking the address to make sure I had it right. I ordered teriyaki beef, beef broccoli, mushroom chicken, and chicken fried rice. The rice was not bad. The entrees however were full of veggies. Yes, we need veggies, but can you add a little meat too? The chicken really threw me off. I guess it's boiled because there is no browning what so ever it's just white fatty meat and it was not appetizing. The rice was okay, and the flavors were meh and I would NOT compare this place to Panda. Not for me.

I was at the window looking at the taped on paper menu and a guy tapped me and asked me if I was in line.... I said yeah, (I mean it was obvious since I was at the window) and I kid you not... he goes Well you better get in line. And sure enough, he shoved his way in front of me to order. So bizarre cuz there was only 1 other guy behind him. I guess he had no manners and needed to be first! Just a super off the wall crowd piled up all around waiting on their food. Another car pulled up to park with his music blasting so loud that the bass was vibrating his car, the sidewalk. It was all terrible. I only stayed because it had such good reviews and another lady told me it was awesome. It's basically a hole in the wall but actually it's a window in the wall. It's a brick bldg w a small window that you talk and order thru. The staff was nice to me and clarified whether I wanted fries w my jalapeño's wings, which I did not, so she saved me $4 bucks. I ordered the #5, all chicken but it had so much breading and very little chicken. Some of the chicken was really stiff like either grissel or just dried out. The number 5 is orange chicken and sweet n sour chicken. With lo mein noodles and friend rice. $22.99.... if you just get 1 entree, it's $20...so might as well try 2 choices. I've got a super bad stomachache from eating about 6 pieces of chicken and 2 spoons of rice. I also got the jalapeño's wings due to the reviews. They are actually excellent and greasy jalapeño's flavor and chicken cooked well. 2 stars for wings but -2 for the heavily breaded other chicken entrees w barely any chicken. At home, I pulled all the breading off and it's really pathetic that it's 7/8 breading and 1/8 chicken. I didn't see any non fried / breaded chicken and it didn't seem like a good idea to order pork or shrimp from here. I'm sorry I didn't see the review recommendation for hot spicy chicken and I didn't see it on the menu. But it's a full big page menu. I basically wanted to choose from combo so I could get rice and noodles. I will agree that it's big portions of all of it. I'm basically going to eat the rice and noodles w my own chicken cutlet for work lunches. And I'll give the chicken out of the breading to the stray cats. I waited 50 minutes for my order, which was fine with me cuz I'm aware it's popular. But dang, it's a wild place.

I happily drove 30 minutes just to try their Mongolian beef, and it did not disappoint. The flavor was incredible and exactly what you want when you're craving classic Chinese comfort food. They also have great options if you're vegetarian. The orange tofu is so good and a perfect plant-based take on a Chinese classic. On top of the food being delicious, the people there are super friendly and genuinely wholesome. It's the kind of place that reminds you not to judge a spot by the outside.

I recently tried Happy Wok on a whim from my usual spots within the local area for lunch and glad I did as it's become my recurring visit nowadays. The black pepper steak has always been good and served warm and steaming. Texture is great in my eyes for the beef when paired with the rice though those that prefer less of the gummy sauce feeling like soy sauce may not like it as much. Bell peppers with the onions are a nice combo when cooked properly (and these are as I don't taste the acidity of either vegetable and get a nice crunch each bite). Service is akin to a fast food restaurant and not so much dine-in so perfect for anyone on the go like I mentioned. Seating is plenty for a small dining area (especially at the periods I go, it's usually not busy). All in all, I recommend checking out Happy Wok if you are within the area!

    Dropping a 5-star review to help this little hole-in-the-wall!…read more I've seen this place a few times when shopping in the area and always wondered what it was all about. Today, I decided to give it a chance, and I'm so glad I did. I'm giving this place its flowers mostly because of the hospitality I received. From the moment I walked in, the employee working front of house was SO NICE. We were greeted with warmth and promptly seated. Waters came out quickly, and after ordering, aforementioned employee offered us complimentary soup. Throughout our dining experience, the way he treated us told me, "I'm glad you're dining with us, and I want to make sure you come back." He thanked us profusely for coming in and said goodbye a couple times. I just love when the customer service shines. The interior is super clean. All the furniture is in good condition, tables and floors were immaculate, and the decor was tasteful. There's enough seating for probably 12 groups, maybe more. Each table has napkins, soy sauce, and Sriracha, which I appreciated. The most expensive dish I saw on the menu was $16.95. Considering we're living in a time when you can easily spend that much in a drive-thru, I knew I was going to be happy with whatever I chose. I got two entrees: Mongolian beef and orange tofu. We were served complimentary egg drop soup, which was delicious. We were also provided a generous amount of white rice, and I'm assuming since I ordered the beef extra spicy, he also brought a side of chili oil, which made me extremely happy. When the entrees came out, they were hot off the wok (or flat top... who knows) and ab-so-lutely delicious. The Mongolian beef had a lovely sauce and lots of onions, both white and scallions. My only criticism is that the beef itself didn't have the trademark crispy texture. Maybe they didn't use enough cornstarch or didn't let it crisp up enough before adding the other ingredients. Even so, it was good and tender. The orange tofu stole the show, though. They successfully got the outside nice and crispy, and it held up in the amazing orange sauce. I didn't choose this dish, but I will absolutely get it again. For less than $30 before tax and gratuity, two people ate until full AND we left with two heaping boxes of leftovers. Our waiter even offered us additional rice to make sure we had enough to go with our leftovers. We had plenty, but it's another great example of the abundant hospitality. This wasn't the most amazing pan Asian cuisine I've ever had. However, it surprised and delighted me that it was so good for the value. That coupled with the service will absolutely ensure I go back.

The wonton and the eggroll were really good and flavorful. The soup was very lackluster. It was supposed to be like a egg drop soup with corn in it. It was very gamey. The chicken in it was just gross. The house chow mein was decent. The sauce was good. The noodles were good. The shrimp was good. The chicken was good, but the beef was very lackluster. It was big chunks of hard beef that you could not chew on. I had to throw those out. It just wasn't a good either choice. I'll give them another shot, but it's very lackluster and disappointing for the price.
