" My experience here blew me away! The flavors were so authentic, just like the meals I enjoyed when I traveled to China! The staff was so friendly and recommended the best dishes. The atmosphere was colorful and inviting, and I delighted in every bite. This is now my favorite restaurant in Auburn, hands down! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a staple for my family! The hot and sour soup is to die for, and the service has always been friendly. We've gone there for everything from casual lunches to celebrations, and it's never disappointed. The prices are fair, and you can count on generous portions. Highly recommend trying different dishes — you won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit disappointed on my last visit. While I appreciate that they are always busy, the service felt lacking. My order was incorrect, which really affected my experience. The food itself was great as usual, but when you expect a certain dish and it’s not what you receive, it can be frustrating. I had the eggplant which was cooked beautifully, but my partner's stir fry was overcooked. I believe we will give it another try as it has been good in the past. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not really impressed with my visit. The food was decent, but I expected more from all the recommendations. The service also felt off, like they were more focused on to-go orders. I didn’t find the authentic flavors I was hoping for all that much, and I probably won't return based on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the food, my experience at Happy Wok was marred by some rude service. I felt like I was a burden more than a customer. However, the sweet and sour chicken was very tasty and had a nice balance. The portion sizes are fair for the price, and I left feeling quite full. I might return, but only if I’m in the mood for good Chinese food. I hope the service is better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to celebrate a birthday at Happy Wok, and I'm so glad we chose this place. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, perfect for our gathering. The staff was attentive and quick, ensuring we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. I absolutely loved the hot and sour soup — it had just the right amount of heat. However, a couple of our dishes were a bit on the oily side. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Happy Wok has long been our go-to spot for Chinese food. The flavors are very authentic, making every dish feel like a little taste of home. Their fried rice is hands down the best I've ever had, and I love how they offer the option of extra spice for those who can handle it. Generally, the staff is nice, but during busy hours, you might feel a bit overlooked. Still, the food more than makes up for any service glitches. " (*Curated Review*)
