" I absolutely loved my experience at Happy Lamp! The food was delicious and felt authentically Chinese, not the kind of Americanized stuff you find in many places. The staff were super nice and always kept our drinks filled. I particularly enjoyed the wonton soup and fried rice; they were both cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The atmosphere is laid-back, but I think they could work on the decor a bit to make it more inviting. Nevertheless, I look forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had a takeout order from Happy Lamp and it was quite good! I ordered their egg rolls, which were crispy and not overly greasy, and their sesame chicken which had a nice balance of flavor. However, the portion for the sesame chicken felt a bit small compared to what I expected based on my previous dine-in experiences. The service over the phone was friendly, so I’d give them a shot again for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Chinese food, Happy Lamp is hit or miss. I had a visit where the egg rolls were fantastic, but this time the kung pao chicken lacked flavor. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is comfortable, but I do wish for more consistency in their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Happy Lamp to be average. The food was decent, but there wasn’t anything that stood out compared to other Chinese restaurants. Service was adequate, but the wait was longer than I would have liked. The atmosphere could definitely use some improvement as well. I might return but it wouldn’t be my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Happy Lamp since I was a kid, and I'm still just as impressed by the quality of their food. The flavors are consistent, and each visit brings a sense of nostalgia. Although it's low on decor, the heartwarming atmosphere and homemade feeling food make up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am always searching for good Chinese food, and Happy Lamp is now on my frequent list. The quality of their ingredients shines through, and the staff is always friendly. I’ve enjoyed everything from their fried rice to dumplings. A great spot for takeout! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an unplanned dinner here and I was pleasantly surprised! The service staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. I tried the beef and broccoli, which had the right amount of sauce, and the freshness of the ingredients really stood out. Highly recommend their house special fried rice, too! " (*Curated Review*)
