" Happy China has been my family’s go-to for years! They always have warm, friendly service, which keeps us coming back. The buffet is plentiful, even if not all dishes are gourmet. The dumplings are a must-try and pair wonderfully with their hot tea! My kids love the dessert options as well. I appreciate this establishment's homey vibe and just might bring some friends along next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Happy China is my go-to spot for Chinese cuisine! I love the variety they offer at their buffet. If you go during the busy hours, all the food stays fresh and warm, which is a huge plus. The workers treat you with kindness each time, and I often see the same faces serving, which shows they care about their jobs. My favorites are the spring rolls and the sweet and sour chicken. It's a nice little haven for your Chinese food cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Truth be told, I have grown quite fond of Happy China over the years. Each visit feels like catching up with an old friend due to the kind staff. Whether it’s their signature dumplings or the steaming bowls of hot and sour soup, I've always left satisfied. While the establishment could benefit from modern décor, the food's quality has kept me steady in my loyalty. Beyond just taste, I appreciate their commitment to fresh ingredients and cooking something with heart. Every time I wander in, it feels like they treat you like family. Highly recommended!

" On a whim, I stopped by Happy China expecting a casual meal. The buffet was decent; I had some fried rice, chicken wings, and spring rolls. While it wasn't the best Chinese food I've had, it did fill my belly, and the prices were fair. The service shone during my visit, as the staff constantly checked on my table for a refill on drinks. I appreciate that attentive touch, even if the food was only okay. Would I come back? Maybe. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was delighted to discover Happy China during a road trip. It’s a cozy little restaurant with friendly people. The buffet had a decent range of options, but I noticed some items were a little stale. Their sesame chicken was stellar, though! Service was kind and attentive. Overall, a decent dining experience that I would recommend for a quick bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am usually a fan of buffets, but my recent visit to Happy China let me down. The selection felt limited in comparison to other establishments, and the food didn’t taste particularly fresh. The decor could use some sprucing up as well. However, the service was nice, which is a redeeming quality. I just expected more from a place so many people rave about. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried various Chinese restaurants in the area and must say Happy China stands out for its unique charm. The owners exude warmth, creating an inviting environment. The food quality was generally good, with their chow mein being a standout. However, some of the fried dishes could use a bit more flavor. Overall, a nice little spot that you should check out if in town. Their lunch specials are also worth it! " (*Curated Review*)
