" What a hidden gem! I stumbled upon Happy Wok by chance, and it has quickly become my favorite Chinese restaurant. The general chicken is exquisite, so crispy and flavorful. The staff is very kind but can get busy when there are a lot of orders. Regardless, the food was served fresh and hot! Can't wait to go back for more delicious meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was pretty good but the service ruined the entire experience for me. We waited far too long for our order, and I had to chase down the staff for water several times. The hot and sour soup lacked flavor, which was surprising. I might return, but it won’t be my first choice in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather poor experience last night. The food came out cold, and we had to wait a while for our drinks. The sesame chicken tasted great but the service left a lot to be desired. I had hoped for better based on the reviews I'd read. It was a busy night for them, so maybe I'll give them another chance on a quieter day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had takeout at Happy Wok more than a few times, but the last order was not up to par. The chicken was tough, and the rice felt overcooked. On the other hand, their spring rolls are always delicious and crispy. It just feels hit or miss for takeout, which is disappointing when the dining experience is often praised. I hope they can maintain their quality in future orders. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting, and it definitely won’t be the last! The place has a fantastic atmosphere with great decor that really enhances the dining experience. We ordered a variety of dishes including the pork buns and the chow mein, all of which were bursting with flavor. Even the presentation was impressive! The waitstaff was friendly, and they checked on us just the right amount. If you're in Auburn, do yourself a favor and stop by! " (*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*)
