Depending on what you get from here is good, but small portions for what you pay for... especially for the meat dishes. Sweet and sour chicken is good, but sweet and sour pork... not at all, can't even chew it, literally. Soft chow mein is good. Beef and broccoli is good. Rice is good. I'd eat here more if the portions were better. Pay so much for so little, especially the meat.
I was going to give these guys another try, after our last experience left us with a bad taste in our mouths, like literally!! My favorite Chinese Restaurant is temporarily closed and I didn't feel like cooking. So I looked at their menu. With the menu prices through the roof now, it would be cheaper to go buy a few ingredients and make my own, or hit the food court @ Coquitlam Center.
Just picked up dinner for 2.. spent $45 noodles.. ok but bland and sweet and sour pork so hard .. not edible.. and so much batter.. when I called to say it’s not fresh.. they say we will remind kitchen.. no customer service.. go elsewhere
My family felt it was too hot in the house last night to cook, so we decided to try this restaurant that we've walked past for 20+ years but had not tried. We are so glad we did! Shanghai Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) are difficult to do properly, and Happy Chinese Restaurant makes surprisingly authentic ones--complete with house-made ginger-vinegar sauce. If you like mushrooms, the Chicken with Mushroom stir-fry dish offers plenty. We had requested reduced MSG and oil and the chef did an excellent job with our food, which also included Shanghai Style Fried Thick Noodle and Honey Garlic Beef. The ingredients were of high quality, the flavour was pleasing and the texture was just right. We noticed that most of the restaurant's business was take-out (we were the only dine-in patrons at about an hour before closing), which is a shame as the service and presentation are excellent. Although the dining room does not have air conditioning, it is cool and quiet with simple yet modern decor and furniture. It was also nice to dine at an establishment with modern porcelain dinnerware as opposed to the plastic dishes that some places use nowadays. I recommend people try dining-in at this hidden gem on the north side of Port Coquitlam.
I have ordered here a few times now and the lady at the front now remembers me. She is so sweet and kind. The food here is amazing and the portions are great, four dishes for a group of four was wonderful. The spicy squid is one of my favourites and the sweet and sour pork tastes amazing. If I ever want Chinese food, I will always come here first.
We love ordering from Happy Chinese! The kindest people working and the best food. The egg fried rice and Honey Garlic Pork are my fave. The potions are massive of course, and everything is cooked so well. We’ve ordered about 10 times now and so far not a single miss. Everything has always been awesome!
Excellent tasting food. The Calamari could have been deep fried a little longer with more salt added. The fried rice is very tasty. Everything else is excellent. The price is right, and the lady owner is very courteous. Poor cashier girl was saying sorry to everyone as the restaurant was backlogged with orders. Skip the dishes driver picked up 10 dishes before I got my 5. All in all, the food was fresh n tasty. I had to give the 10% off to cash sales as a tip to the cashier. She was very courteous and apologetic to all the customers waiting for their food. The Richmond market squid was excellent !!!!!!!! I ordered more food 2day. The dishes were fresh, hot, and tasty. Bought 6 dishes today. The food did not taste fresh as there was an overnight fridge taste to the food. The Gen. Tso's spicy chicken was not good. It was not spicy at all n even worse it was made with sweet n sour sauce, ( I hate sweet n sour sauce). The fried rice was abit hard meaning it was left over many days rice. The beef n broccoli was below average as the beef was cut into small pieces to make it look like there were many slices of beef when actually there was not. When you are very hungry, most foods will taste good. Unfortunately, the food this day was not good at all. The cook must've had a bad day as his heart was not in it.
Small family owned Chinese restaurant. Decent menu and reasonable price. Food were fresh and made to order. Lunch special is a good deal. Food was ok for that price. Friendly staff. Overall good experience. Will come back again fro take out 👍 #supportlocalbusiness
Delivery was late, food lukewarm and overpriced. Will not be ordering from here again.
The food is very good and the 1 person combo is a lot of food. I definitely will be eating here more frequently.
They cannot get an order right. Twice i ordered food and both times they missed items. Last time we actually got sick after eating the food.
By far the best sweet and sour pork and squid in Vancouver. The restaurant is very simple and contrasts with the excellent food, which in all the dishes I have been able to try, are simply delicious!! Friendly attention and very reasonable prices!
Food is super tasty, decent prices, big portions.
Everything tasted really good portions and prices are great. Friendly and curious staff. Our new go to for Chinese.
Swung in for a quick bite! They were very tentative responsive and polite. The food was very tasty and I would definitely come back to this place Food : 5/5
Best chicken balls and egg fried rice I ve had in a long time.
Disappointed. Ordered the dinner for 2 and received the smallest portions ever.
The waitress is very nice, patient and polite. However, the dishes were just average IMO.
I ordered chicken balls from this place on Uber eats and the meat looked mainly cooked ? but the texture felt fleshy when biting into it and chewing it. I went to bed hours later and woke up sick and threw up. Im pretty sure it was from that.
Portions are far too small . Fried rice is horrible . Very little chicken ib curry chicken dish
Amazing food!
First time coming here today. I have seen it a few times and decided it would he a good choice for dinner. I am glad did. I ordered the spring rolls which were delicious. The chicken soft chow mein which tasted amazing. I dont usually find ones I like but this one was great. I also go the kung pow chicken which the flavors were full and tasty. I am excited to go back to try more
The worst Chinese food Ive ever had in my life.Ive fed it to the dog and she had to smell it for a few minutes before she ate it.
Great food so delicious
Ordered from here for the 1st time. Food was very delicious.
The absolute best Chinese food around. I have a new addition to this place haha. Small family run joint. Curb appeal aint the greatest. But man does the food ever make up for that. The absolute best sweet and sour pork. Its crispy and not drowning in sause and very tender. The chow main in on point and what ever they cook the beef and vegetables in is perfect. I can not get enough of this place. I have turned alot of my friends on to happy and everyone is just that. VERY HAPPY!!!!
Good food
Got to know about this lovely little diner during the height of the pandemic and haven t stopped patronizing them since then. Have always phoned in for pick-ups and the staff is always knowledgable and friendly and their food fresh and delicious. Their spring rolls are the best we ve ever tasted. Better yet, they come free when we order above a certain amount. Reasonably-priced and conveniently-situated, this restaurant is our top pick whenever we wish to indulge in some authentic Chinese food.
Great food great prices .been going here over 5 yrs !
Good deal . Great taste .
Enjoyed their food back at the first visit, same in subsequent visits. The service is very friendly and courteous, and the atmosphere at the time, until she changed the thermostat, was coolish. It is a much older interior than most places. But hey, if you want some really decent food at an affordable price, and youre in the area, check it out. Dine-in, pre-order to pick-up to eat elsewhere.
The staff is very nice and the food has been tasty and hot
We think that they make the best Chinese food in Port Coquitlam and I would have given them 5 stars BUT false advertising on their flyer. I went to pick up last week and she said that they only give the 10% discount if ordered online and then pick up. (We called in and didnt order online so they wouldnt give us the discount). Yet it doesnt state that specifically on their flyer. I mentioned it to the lady that was at the desk and she said she got in trouble for giving the discount to customers that called and picked up and that she had to pay the owner back out of her own pay.
Hands down - The Best Chinese food in PoCo and the tricities! Always delicious, fresh, plentiful. Never disappoints and when we order, everyone always raves about it!
Awesome food! Great service, nice quiet spot.
Love the food there
Ordered a few times from here now and its always been excellent and affordable. Soft noodles in particular I think are great.
Service is always very pleasant and they strive to treat customers well. The honey garlic and sweet & sour pork are especially notable in how crunchy and saucy they are at the same time. By far one of my families favorite Chinese restaurants to go to.
Great value restaurant! The owner is very warm and polite. We ordered for delivery and the food was delicious
Super delicious and good service. The lady boss is kind and kind.
Small portions. Watered down flavor. Website has old menu with old pricing. Not worth the money or indigestion. $44 for a dinner for 2
Food was crispy and super flavourful !
Chinese people, don t come here, the fish-flavored eggplant is too sweet, and the beef curry only has a few slices of beef.
Some of the best takeout Ive had in a while! Everything tasted fresh, not overly greasy, and they dont use excessive salt as a substitute for good flavour. Will order again!
The best Chinese in Port Coquitlam/coquitlam!!! Kitchen super clean, food amazing and tasty, they are very caring and amazing!! Try it! You won t regret!!!!!!
So very kind, the food was delicious. Crunchy fresh vegetables and was thoroughly happy with each dish!
The dishes were tasty & fresh off the Wok. The Ginger beef was very good and the chicken balls were superb, large pieces of chicken unlike most other places! Food
Placed a order for delivery at 4pm and they said it would be 45 mins. After 1.5 hours still no order so I called back to ask what happened. They told me I needed to pick it up which isnt possible as I dont drive and that is why I wanted delivery. They said another 30 min. 3 hours later they wont answer the phone and no order has arrived. 4 hours after my order was placed the manager called and gave me my order for free. It arrived ice cold and part of it was missing.
Not properly cooked, cold noodles, had to throw house special chowmein in the garbage. Barbecue pork soup also cold and awful
Fantastic food, sharply priced, consistently great! Authentic. What more to ask for?
Best Chinese place in Coquitlam food was amazing so was the service
My wife and i just moved to Poco and have tried all the Chinese restaurants in the are. Dont do what we did and judge a book by its cover. Hands down the best and freshest chinese food you will have in port coquitlam. Little restaurant in a strip mal but the best service and food in the area. We will not be ordering anywhere else. Thanks again for everything cant wait for our next order :)
This is our first time trying food from here. Unfortunately, despite being very close to our house I wont be back. Even with some ok flavours of different components, the quality of the ingredients was not there. For $50+ tip for 2 solo combos and some appie wontons, it completely disappointed. Pros: food was mostly hot, ready within 10 minutes of estimated pick up time. Beef vegetables and chow mein was fairly good. Fried wontons were not what I was expecting; flavour wasnt bad but they werent crispy. Cons: almond chicken was inedible. It was soaked through with grease and the colour of the chicken was grey/dark beige. Fried rice was a bit scorched in places (black bits of rice). I didnt like the flavour in the spring roll. Chicken ball dough was mushy on the inside.
Great Chinese food. First time trying it out. Family owned and operated. Owner and staff are very polite and portions are generous. Quality was excellent
Best Cantonese style Chinese cuisine in Port Coquitlam. Friendly staff. They remember your preferences if youre a frequent customer. Unassuming, but theres no doubting the taste.
The portions were well deserving of the price! The taste was excellent! And it came within 45 minutes. So.... who could complain?! Decibel will be a return customer
Great food. Best in area.
Best place in the tri-cities. So glad we found them!
Delicious the best Chinese food in Coquitlam and port coquitlam
I used to order take-out with my coworkers before all the time and absolutely loved this place. The other day I went for late lunch with my friend to dine-in. Asked for ice water twice they said ice will be ready in 15min. No big deal. Asked again after a bit and still didn t get it. I ordered the one person combo with fried rice, beef and vegetable mix and fried shrimp for extra $3. They gave me 3 tiny pieces less than a bite size of beef and the prawn wasn t handled properly. I had one prawn and one spoon of fried rice and said I was done and was super disappointed. Didn t even ask what was wrong with it and didn t seem to care and no apology whatsoever and charged me full price. Really liked this place but never going back again.
Its my place for comfort food. Love the cooking!!!
Food was sub-standard.
Fantastic food, good portions, quick service!
Food is really good and this place is the so clean!
Best chinese arround the block, i believe it to be family restaurant. The lady there is always nice. Sweet and sour pork is amazing as well as garlic chicken yuummm
Food is always flavourful and tasty, portion sizes are great, and the lady up front is always super friendly. Best in PoCo in my opinion. :)
This place is a total joke The phone person barely speaks English and when Food arrived then Food was missing and wrong items then when I called them to tell them missing items and wrong Food then again she barely understand English What a joke this place is
When I moved to Port Coquitlam I didnt know where or who to order food from. So I ordered from three local business that delivered (COVID 19) we were all on lock down at the time. But I wasnt happy really with the food I had be trying. Then I tried this place it was awesome food good size portions and very polite. I had asked for a menu to have but someone forgot to put in with my order. I was so impressed when I received a call and was asked if I would mind if someone came by in approx 20mins and drop one off for me with an apology. I was thinking that far and few businesses now a days would ever bother to do they think we can just go on line and look at it. Not all of us like to rely upon technology for information. Hats off to the owners of Happy Chinese (Dynasty) Restaurant.
Authentic Cantonese food at affordable prices. Their sweet and sour pork is amazing! It was still crispy even after sitting in a styrofoam container for 30 minutes. Would also recommend the beef brisket. Also, the staff there are very nice and follow the COVID 19 precautions very well.
Love this food. Awesome.
Amazing food and nice people
This restaurant makes my son start eating fish. Thank you very much.
Only place we order from in the tricties!
Just ordered food here via Skip. While we had a few technical errors, the food is delicious and this will be our new go-to Chinese option for dinner!
Excellent and never disappoint! Every thing is fresh, really tasty and great portions! Love this place and true hidden Gem!
Very good food. Friendly owners. Reasonably priced.
Noticed they had new owner. Food got a lot better. Chicken balls nice and juicy. My only complaint is dont get their shrimps. They are not cleaned and i had a shrimp that was in my fried rice which was shrank and blacked (not burnt) but other than that foods that i got was good
Nice owner and good food Will come again
What happened to the spicy squid
Decent quality fairly priced food
Unfortunately not as happy as advertised.
Our family of three have been getting takeout once a week from Happy for the last two months. It satisfies our appetites and our cravings each time. Food is freshly cooked and is not greasy like some other Chinese takeout places. Portions are generous for what you pay. Staff have been attentive to our special requests as well.
Best Chinese food, hands down. So tasty, full of flavour, not greasy and so satisfying. Will always order from here!!
Service is way too slow here now for whatever reason. Food looks ok but the wait time is unbearable.
Went in @ 430 looking for lunch for one, long after lunch specials finished at 3. She said let me ask the cook, what do you want? 15 min later for under $10 I walked out with chicken, veggies and rice, wow! Good food, great service, take out only at this time.
Its a good thing their food is so good....last time placed an online order, after waiting and giving phone number waited over an hour and they hadnt even started it (was crazy busy that day)....today called and placed order....pick up at 645, he said yes....I get there and confusion again, basically wasnt even started, finally got it at 7....and again food is excellent basic Canadian Chinese food
Sweet & sour pork is a must try. OMG. I love this gem of a restaurant. I keep ordering different dishes and each one is special and fresh. Well done.
Been twice and both times told over 50 minutes for takeout. There were only 2 tables of customers in the place! I dont get it. If I could give less stars I would as Ive never had a chance to eat there. Quite rude about being too busy also.
Jenny and her husband are very welcoming and they make you feel at home! Food is made fresh and with care. Their almond chicken is super great. Make sure you ask their recommendations!
Been a customer for over two years. Find the atmosphere to be very humble and what comes out of the kitchen to be gold, it is good quality food, reasonable prices and good service.
Great experience. Great food. Kind people. Highly recommend.
New owners, better food
Very large portions! Great tasting and Friendly staff!
Exception service, delicious food and such a great prices! Highly recommended to all of the hungry people around. We were very happy!!!
Clean and basic this place makes the best Won Ton Noodle soup I have had in years. Sept. 13, We ordered the dinner for two last night and both the quality and quantity of food was amazing. This ace is now my go to for Chinese food.
Friendly staff excellent food very reasonable prices!
Very good Chinese food
Great food
Ordered the dinner for 4 meal. Good food, big portions and friendly service. Well definitely be back.
Very good food and very friendly service. Nice atmosphere.
It is more American style Chinese food its pretty good but if youre looking for real Chinese food I highly recommend the Deer Garden in Coquitlam
Used to be great
Awesome little place, never seen anyone in here when I come, but for american Chinese food, this is the best place in the area. They let you make substitutions in the combos, so you can get pretty much what you like, the price isnt too bad, its actually really good for the amount of food you end up getting, which is a lot. I like the owners here, they seem very nice, and I definitely like supporting their business. One of my favorite Chinese food places in the area.
Big portions and tasty food
Mediocre service and food...try Sky Dragon!!
Love the food here. Especially the kung pao chicken and the war won ton soup.
Good prices, good food! its very outdated interior but doesnt matter if you do takeout.
Food was very poor, we barely ate any and threw the rest out, not recommended.
The foods always good here. The entire restaurant is spotless The owner can sometimes be abrupt but she is not rude as some reviews suggest Been coming for 5 or so years and never dissapointed. Always get a wave from the owner/cook
The boss and the landlady are very kind, the food is good, and it s a very comfortable dining experience. I recommend it to everyone!
Awesome food and huge portions.
Very ignorant and rude service. I called for delivery the lady who answered the phone was extremely inpatient and rude. So I didnt end up ordering food from them even I was very hungry... Worst restaurant ever:(
I used to love happy chinese when it first opened. Everything seemed fresh and not greasy. Just ordered today and it was the total oposite. The chicken chow me in was bland, the almond chicken was greasy and over breaded, and the fried rice was used with different or maybe just over cooked rice because it was quite mushy and also bland...soo here we are with $63 of Chinese food and nobody wants to eat it. What a waste!
By far our favourite Chinese food in poco!
Quality food at a fair price.
I love ordering takeout from this place. Not a bad item on the whole menu. If youre totally undecided, order a couple different meals for one to mix&match options. The lady that runs the counter always seems all business but shes super sweet, and the chef is usually able to accommodate requests.
Some of the best Chinese in Port Coquitlam. Very large variety of things that are all very tasty. Try the salty garlic prawns. Amazing.
Their service isnt very good, they can be rude but for a Chinese restaurant their food is okay.
Saw some people say that the service was rude. We didnt find that at all. While eating here, they were super nice to us and our baby. Sure, English isnt their first language, but they do a decent job trying. They are curt but courteous. Food is great. Good takeout place, sparse and not-fancy eat-in vibe.
I have ordered from here a few times now and food is always really good and reasonably priced!
Good food !!!
Very Very Very nice.
The food was awful. None of us got what we ordered. And when I called back to see if we could get it replaced I was told if you dont like dont order
I would put 0 stars but it wont let me .... the food is sick .... nothing was correct on my order.. bad customer service and its undercooked and rotten.
Very disappointed! We ordered for 3 people and 2 of the orders didnt come out right. We were also charged extra for modifying the orders and the orders werent modified at all. Then we called to ask for our money back and the person told us not order if we dont like it.
we recently went here with our 2 children a 12 year old and a 2 year old . the food was good but the girl that serves you and takes your order was very rude my baby had a spoon she was playing with which was keeping her occupied while we were trying to eat the server came and took it away from her which made her upset . Then when my son asked for a water she was very rude again. when we went to leave andpay for our order she was on the phone not paying attention to us at all. I asked her to wrap our left overs up to take home and she told me to go sit down. No I wanted to pay for my order thank you very much. So be aware that the food is decent but the service is very rude.
Healthy Chinese food with no msg. Family owned and ran. The owner comes off rude and impatient sometimes as she seems stressed but shes quite nice otherwise. Lunch combos are a good deal!!
Reasonable prices and good food. Definately a takeout place though, pretty spartan and bare to eat in.
It wasnt really good and the service sucked
I only tried two dishes, but Ive had better. Not bad, but not great.
Great food and deals!!!
Was excellent quality food, me and my family loved it!
