" I've been coming to Great Happiness for a long time, but I recently noticed their cash-only policy seems to deter some new customers. Sure, they have delicious BBQ pork and the portions are generous, but there have been a couple of times when they weren't fully stocked by the time I got there. I love the flavor, but the timing can be frustrating. Overall, great food and friends' recommendations keep me coming back despite the minor issues. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to try Great Happiness after hearing about it for ages. Overall, the food experience was nice, though a bit on the greasy side for my taste. The flavors were there but just not as fresh as I hoped. The atmosphere was casual, and I can appreciate a place that feels homey, but the service was slower than expected. I appreciate their cash-only option, but it would be better if they could take cards. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, this place is amazing! I stopped by Great Happiness for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the large portions and fresh ingredients. The staff was super friendly and attentive, ensuring that every customer feels welcome. My meal was vibrant and packed with flavor - definitely felt like homemade Chinese food rather than typical takeout. If you’re in the area, don’t miss the garlic wings — they're out of this world! Just remember, have cash ready when you go! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Great Happiness because my friend insisted. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy, reminiscent of classic Chinese takeout places. However, while the food was decent, I was hoping for more. The BBQ pork didn’t have the depth of flavor I expected. Definitely better than chain restaurants, but not exceptional. If I do return, I’d love to try something different from the menu to give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great Happiness exceeded my expectations! The moment I stepped in, I felt the welcoming aura. I decided to go with their combo plate, and it was fantastic! Their take on spices has a very homemade feel to it. It reminded me of cooking at home, which made me so happy. Be mindful that they are cash only, but this place is a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I've never visited Great Happiness until now! The fried garlic chicken was stellar, and their sweet tea was a perfect complement. It felt like very authentic American-Chinese cuisine, which reminded me a lot of the places I used to go to as a kid. A cozy atmosphere where you can really enjoy your meal. The only downside is the seating - it's pretty limited. I recommend going at off-peak hours to truly appreciate the great food without a long wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm glad I came to Great Happiness – the food was very good! The flavors brought me back home, reminiscent of the street food I enjoyed in China. Although the seating was tight, that didn’t affect how much I enjoyed my meal. However, I would suggest they consider implementing a card payment option because some people may find it inconvenient to always have cash. " (*Curated Review*)
