" I decided to stop by Happy House for a late-night dinner. I was greeted by a decent wait staff who were ready to seat me quickly. Once I got my food, disappointment washed over me; my favorite dish just didn’t hit the right notes. The chicken had a strange texture, and my fried rice was bland. The only highlight was the service, which I appreciated. While the food needs improving, at least I had a nice server. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Happy House after work on a weeknight and found the dining area to be quite deserted. My initial reaction was that it felt a bit eerie with just a few customers. The food was mediocre at best – I ordered the cashew chicken but received a gloppy, over-sauced mess that looked nothing like what I had hoped. The waitress was attentive, though, and that was a bright spot during my visit. I think I’ll stick to takeout next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What was once my favorite Chinese buffet sadly left me feeling disappointed. The service was quick, but the food tasted like it had been frozen and reheated. Nothing about it was fresh or delicious. Even the dessert bar was a letdown. If you're seeking decent Chinese cuisine, I suggest looking elsewhere until they improve their offerings. The atmosphere is mediocre at best, and food quality needs a real upgrade. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointment struck when I noticed how little effort went into the food at Happy House. The chicken was dry, and everything on the buffet just felt like a rushed process that lacks dedication. I hope they can address the food’s freshness because you could taste it in every item. I regret not picking a better restaurant and likely will not return. The server was nice though, she deserves a five-star rating. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not too long ago, I took my family to Happy House for an 'all you can eat' buffet night. This is something we typically enjoy, but not this time. Just about everything seemed overly greasy and taste-wise bland. Most items in the buffet lacked freshness; even the rice had this hard crust on top. My wife commented that it felt more like a fast-food experience without the freshness and flavor. At least the staff were polite and made an effort to engage. Next time, we’ll be heading elsewhere for our buffet fixes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, I hosted my daughter's birthday party at Happy House, thinking it would be a festive occasion. However, the experience was less than ideal. We had multiple platters and by the time they reached our table, the food felt lukewarm and lacked flavor. It was truly disappointing given the special occasion. The staff was friendly enough, and my daughter was happy when they sang for her, but the quality of food really spoiled the mood. I would not recommend hosting events here; they need to step up their game significantly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Happy House for lunch today and didn’t have a positive experience. The buffet didn't look fresh at all, with a lot of the items looking dried out or overly sauced. While I appreciated the attempt of the staff, the food quality really detracted from the ambiance. I think that they could use a total revamp if they plan to attract and retain customers.
