Great food! Great Service! Clean and tastefully decorated. Solid go to Chinese. So far it's been my favorite Chinese place. Moo shu Chicken was Yummm. Kung pao was good. Wonton soup is our go for regardless what we order.
Well it is small, but great for take out orders. I gave the Kung Po Chicken with fried rice, egg roll, and a cup of egg drop soup on the side. The food was hot and on point. The egg drop soup was fresh hot and flavorful. After eating the soup I ate the Kung Po Chicken and rice. Tons of favors with different levels of heat. The temps tire of both was almost as hot as lava. I will eat here again
Driving through town and we'd stopped for the night. Found Happy Dragon on Yelp. Looked at the reviews and looked at the menu. We ordered combination fried rice, rolls, and goons. Drove twenty minutes in pouring rain. $18 Drove twenty minutes back, again in the pouring rain. The food would have been better without the rain and long drive. Egg rolls were good if a little chewy. Crab rangoons were really good, the filing was aplenty. The rice is the reason for the four stars. It wasn't really fried rice, it was still mostly just white rice and, to me, the shrimp tasted fishy. It was not BAD but I've had better. The chicken and especially the pork was nice. No forks, no napkins, no soy sauce, no hot mustard, no fortune cookies I would go back.
The cleanest Chinese place I've ever been to! For being a "dive" Happy Dragon was much more fresh and maintained than others I have frequented. Customer service was to notch, the pay behind the counter was friendly and fast! They have a great lunch special of $5.75 for a meal that includes an wheel and fried rice. I got the General Tsos, it was good and saucy. There isn't much space to sit inside, more of a pick-up and take out place, but there were a few people dining in when I was picking up. There are about 4 tables. At the counter there is a self serve area where you can help yourself to utensils, sauces, Fortune cookies, napkins, etc. You'll want to grab the with your takeout as they would be in your bag. Really liked that they put the lunch in life bowls rather than styrofoam containers, much better when picking up. Food was hot and steamy!
Very good food and service. I had been told by a number of people that Pendleton had the best Chinese food and I certainly agree.
