Lemon chicken, fried rice, crab meat rangoon, egg drop soup & tea was what I choice. The fried rice is unlike most I’ve had, but still good. The lemon chicken was one of the best I’ve had. I only added a bit of hot oil and no lemon sauce. I’ve also tried the chicken lo mein and that is also very good. Both times the waitress was very attentive & had great service. It’s very peaceful w/no loud music. It’s a decent size restaurant.

The food was great! Hot and fresh! We had the Sweet & Sour Chicken with Mongolian Beef. It comes with an egg roll, rice, and soup. The Egg Drop soup was delicious! We also had the Fried Crabmeat Rangoon and Combination Lo Mein. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The only down side is that it felt hot in there. The fans were going, but I think rotating in the wrong direction. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this place!

We went to Happy Guy about 45 minutes before they closed, and initially, they told us they were closing the kitchen, and an older gentleman came to my car and told us to come back they will serve us. Here is my review, the food was really good, but the portions are off the chart. You will definitely get more than what you pay for. The customer service was outstanding. Thanks for inviting us back in. we will definitely be back.

My Chicken Chow Mein was excellent! Best I've ever had. Wife's Sweet and Sour Chicken a bit dry and rough. Service and staff are an absolute pleasure. Lisa was friendly and delightful. Limited Handing Parking.

I have forgotten about this little gem. I have been here several times and have never been disappointed. The food is always fresh, and hot. The staff is so very friendly, and the atmosphere is great. We had the General TSO's Chicken, and the Shrimp Sczechuan Style. Food is great as always and these plates were the Family meals that came with soup, egg roll, Rangoons and fried rice. These 2 plated meals are enough to feed a family of 4, the price is right, around $34, and again, the wait staff is very friendly. My 2 cents, but give them a try.
