" Great place for comfort food! Their congee has a home-cooked feel to it, exactly like the dishes my grandmother used to make. The fried dough is a dream—crispy and soft at the same time. I would highly recommend carrying cash with you because they don’t accept cards. I’d totally visit this gem again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been meaning to try Happy Congee for a while, and I finally made it! The fried dough sticks were unbelievably crispy and fresh, and the congee was the perfect comfort food. I had the preserved egg and shredded pork congee, and it didn't disappoint. Each bite brought back memories of my childhood visits to Hong Kong. The atmosphere is typical of a food court, so I mostly recommend takeout to enjoy the food in a quieter setting. Overall, highly recommend for a quick and authentic meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Happy Congee last week and loved every minute of it! The place was buzzing and filled with warm, inviting smells. I opted for the fish slice and preserved egg congee and paired it with their freshly fried dough - a perfect combo. The only downside was the wait time, which was slightly longer than expected, but that only adds to the anticipation. Overall, a wonderful experience I would gladly repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing visit last week at Happy Congee. The doughs weren’t as crunchy as I remembered, and I found the congee to be a little lacking in flavor. It did feel authentic but fell short in terms of execution. I did appreciate the quick service, though; the staff worked hard to keep up with the traffic. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic congee, this is your spot! Loved the preservative-free options and the variety on the menu. The fried dough sticks are easily the highlight, they were crispy and perfectly paired with the congee. Just be prepared to navigate through a busy food court. I can't recommend this place enough for a quick meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" A solid place for a quick meal! The congee was decent and very filling, making the price even more attractive. The fried dough was freshly made, though I found it a little too oily for my liking. Overall, it’s a good spot if you’re in a hurry and need something quick and comforting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Happy Congee but unfortunately, I left disappointed. The congee tasted bland, and the fried dough was hardly fresh. I expected more authenticity especially since the name suggests it, but I felt shortchanged especially when comparing it to what I used to eat in Hong Kong. Service was okay, but it didn’t make up for the food quality woes. " (*Curated Review*)
