This place is fantastic! The food is plentiful and cheap for the price, plus its delicious. Ill give you an example, my wife, my two kids, and I purchased two entrees for about 16 dollars, including drinks my tab came out to $23. Ill give a breakdown of my experience regarding my time inside the restaurant. Environment: The atmosphere is average, nothing out of the ordinary, and it was clean. The employee at front greeted my family right away and thanked us for coming in. He sat us right away and informed the waitress of our arrival. Customer Service: Fantastic! The waitress was so kind and warm. She offered recommendations to us because we werent familiar with the menu. She offered tips and advice as to what our kids may like, as well as to my wife and I. Through out the whole dining experience she brought us refills, she interacted with my children, and at the end asked us if it was okay that she can give my children two free lollipops after the dinner was over. She cleared the table for us when she noticed that the plates were just sitting there and she moved things around for us so we can have more room to eat. A major plus, when she brought the plates to our table she kept the hot plates away from my daughter as a precaution because she didnt want my youngest to touch them and hurt herself. Food: The food is delicious. I cant describe the words as to how much food they give you. We had enough for us four there at the restaurant and we took the rest home to eat for tonight. Essentially, its like we paid about 12 dollars for one night and 12 dollars for the next night, since our tab came out to close to 24 dollars. The appetizer comes with a soup, ran goons, chip like food to put into your soup, and finally the main dishes (Two Entrees). One Entree alone could feed my wife and I, so you can imagine having another entree plus the appetizers. Overall, Im pleased and my wife was very satisfied as well. Please go and you wont be disappointed.

Overall I loved this place and would consider it one of the best Chinese restaurants in town, but Ill toss out a quick pros/cons list in the Pros: - The people there were great. Our server was a friendly Chinese lady who always had a huge smile and gave off an air of genuine happiness. - Their menu is huge with a great selection. - The food was prepared very well and cooked just right. - The serving size is huge as well. I left with a full stomach and enough leftovers for another full meal or two. Cons: - I actually didnt like the flavor of the meal I ordered (General Tsos Chicken), but the Beef and Broccoli that my girlfriend ordered was awesome. My overall impression was that Happy Guy Chinese Cuisine gave off the air of being a happy place, which can be rare when it comes to affordable Chinese food. While I dont think Ill order the General Tsos again, there were some noodle soup bowls that looked delicious and I will definitely return.

Food items are hit or miss. I ordered chicken pan fried noodles, egg rolls and fried rice my for daughter to go. Rice and rolls were delicious. The pan fried noodles were not. To be fair, I was expecting something completely different. The noodles were hard- hard in the way noodles get if one is stuck to a bowl and dries out overnight. They were very hard to chew, even after I poured some of the brown sauce on them. The chicken was ok, huge portions. Will definitely come back for the rice and might try a more common dish. Another plus- I had to make a couple unexpected stops on my way home but the food was still piping hot once I sat down to eat. Not bad overall, the lady who rang up my order was very nice.

My fiancé and I go every Wednesday afternoon when we are both off of school / work! We love this place! The ladies there are super sweet and funny! Everything comes out in a timely manner, even during busy lunch hours. Most egg drop soups from other Chinese restaurants are watery and gross, but the egg drop soup from Happy Guy is thick, always hot, and delicious! I reccomend the sesame chicken or mongolian beef, and my fiancé reccomends the twice cooked pork or the house special noodle soup! The Vietnamese spring rolls are also crispy and delicious! Huge portions at a great price! This is forever our lunch date spot!

I dont know if we ordered the right food from this spot being that the reviews are so high but idk this place is weird ... we had never been before and decided to pick up the dinner since it was close by .. it was expensive and not worth it . We ordered sesame chicken and when we opened the box we were like " what the heck " it was not your typical sesame chicken it was weird and the meat was dry and rubbery and the sauce was really oily and watery. Same for my beef and broccoli the meat was really rubbery with decent flavors. Wont go back to this place .

Wanted Kung pao chicken but they wouldnt switch out the green peppers. Then I asked him to make it spicy, and they wouldnt do that either. So I ordered vegetable fried rice and wanted water chestnuts in it and they wouldnt do that and of course would make it spicy for me. They would I had water chestnuts for an extra two dollars which I thought was too much. So I would say the service was very bad and the fried rice was VEry Oily. My friend ordered shrimp toast and that was so oily that we couldnt even eat it. Never going back!

Their House soup it to die for! FRESH! If you dont like to be bothered by waitresses, dont worry you wont have that problem here. I think the lady came to check on me once. Then again to give me my ticket. Ive never ordered to pick up but while I was there the people picking up werent HAPPY GUYS..LOL! I think a gentleman was there since before I got there. I finished my meal and he was still waiting... He wasnt complaining. I guess its worth the wait. THE GOOD IS AWESOME!

My family and I have ordered from Happy Guy many times over the years. Weather its take out or dine in we know that itll always be delicious. The owner was so used to what we ordered, that when we started changing it up, she was surprised and confused! haha. I recommend Happy Guy any time. Especially the Spring Rolls, Chicken Fried Rice, General Stos Chicken, or Beef and Veggie! Really anything on their menu is great... Im getting hungry, may run down there now!

I love Happy Guy! The best customer service ever! We went to Happy Guy because of the reviews and it did not disappoint! The guy at the front desk was so nice and helpful. He even brought my to go order outside because it was packed inside. He went above and beyond. The food was amazing. Best Chinese cuisine Ive ever had. So fresh and my order was perfect. I will never go to another Chinese restaurant. And the prices are great.
