happiness chinese restaurant

felt very disappointed. placed my order at 5:30pm by 7pm i called and the youngladysays that there working on it and that there are 2 orders in front of mine. i waited at 8pm i called back the youngladysays almost done will be there shortly. at 8:45 the driver finally arrived he forgot my juice and hot and sour soup. said sorry and he’ll bring it right back. at 10:30 no delivery of my already purchased items

i placed an order online for pick up.  they were nice to call me and let me know one of the items was not available so i could change the order and said it would be ready in 30 minutes.  i arrived in 30 minutes and met theladyat the front who took my name and said my order would be up shortly.  there were two people waiting for take out in front of me.  a little time goes by and the two get their orders and leave.  also several people come in and get seated, about 4 different couples.  soon those seated start getting their orders.  about 30 minutes later i ask the status on my order and theladygoes back in to the kitchen and says they are working on it and it will be soon.  about 15 minutes last another table gets their order and then another.  i ask again about my order and theladygoes in to the kitchen and again comes out saying they are working on the order.  it took almost 2 hours from the time i make the order until the time it was ready.  my gut is that they didn't even start it until i questioned it.  there was no apology, no explanation, do discount items.  i sat there and waited 90 minutes and they didn't seem concerned.  i like the food but after this last adventure i don't think i will be ordering with them again.

excellent takeout. i usually eat in-house here but had not since the change in ownership. i ordered the family style dinner for two to go. at home, i realized i should have invited some neighbors. i unwrappped a veritable msg-free feast for $30! with this combo you get your choice of two soups, four kinds of apps (not a choice but all three), three entrees, fried rice, a packet of sauces, plasticware, and of course, fortune cookies. every item was hot and carefully made. we loved every dish except a couple of minor things. the egg rolls had a very strong flavor i didn't care for that might have been garlic, it was strangely hard to tell. the egg flower soup is done differently than i'm used to. they use mushrooms, sliced baby corn and chopped water chestnuts. the thing is, water chestnuts are my least favorite chinese ingredient. it's a mouth-feel/texture issue. otherwise this soup had good flavor. hot-sour soup is the other option, which i'll try next time. i appreciated the energy level of theladywho helped me, she was running the entire front of house by herself. she even carried my food to my car and was super friendly. i'm excitedly keeping my paper menu copy, marked up with what i'll try next.
