The best value in NYC! Lunch specials are $12 for an entree, rice, and soup or soda. Need I say more??? They are best for lunch and their moo shoo is really good at any time of day. Please help support this restaurant. I don't know why more people don't know about how good their boneless spare rib? Happy Family is my happy place and will be yours as soon as you walk in!

Always like the food here, especially the lunch special menu! It's delicious, homey and delivers fast.

Super good place run by nice people :) Really solid food - the pan fried noodle was crispy to perfection and the chicken w broccoli was so tender and tasty. Would come back again and do takeout or sit in! Perfect for Chinese food cravings!

I have eaten here many times over several years. The quality of food has improved greatly over the last year or so. During Covid, I have had many different dishes. Today, I had sliced fish with black bean sauce, bok choy, and vegetable fried rice. All were very good. The menu was expanded and contains more unique dish, which I believe are Shanghainese dishes. I see no reason for a low rating currently. The food is tasty and fresh. Delivery is fast and well packed. Give it a second chance.

First review on Yelp, and I have to say that the overall rating we see on this page now is a total injustice to what it actually should be. Everything I ordered from this place is great: Chicken and Mushrooms, General Tsos, Boneless Spare Ribs, Lo Mein, Dumplings, and even their Fried Rice. A ton of cheap NYC establishments get a really poor quality yellow rice that you usually see at halal carts, but this restaurant actually takes the time to fry white rice, with seasoning, on a high heat wok. Prices are also outstanding and delivery is shockingly fast. To those who give this place a one or two star - y'all should stop writing reviews on Yelp altogether.
