“OK, let me tell you about this hidden gem called Happy China. They're located in Eastland Shopping Center(Off Winchester Rd, Lexington, KY, right next door to Save-A-Lot. My family has been eating at this restaurant for over 25 years STRAIGHT. We've had Celebratory dinners, Birthdays etc by means of Happy China. They make you feel like family, folks. You can't get that everywhere. Seriously, the people in the restaurant KNOW my order by heart. They know my face and my name. They are super friendly. You get HUGE portions. We have, YET, to get a bad order. I can't speak highly enough, about the restaurant. They deserve every single accolade! They're on DoorDash!

If you're out and about, doing a little shopping, in Eastland Shopping Center or trying to figure out what to have for 🍽. I recommend giving Happy China a try. You won't regret it. The atmosphere is so peaceful and calm. It might hold 12-15 people(booth seats) plus 3 seats for people waiting for their pickup order. So, if you go, tell them Tanya a.k.a 'General Tso Extra, Extra Spicy with Chili Peppers' sent you 😉!

Parking: There are WC-accessible spots in front of Save-A-Lot and Happy China.

Kid-friendliness: They do have highchair and booster seat.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are WC-accessible spots in front of Happy China and the Save-A-Lot store, next door“

“Went to Saturday dinner with family , son, and his college roommates. Had fantastic experience. Staff, food, and atmosphere was not what I anticipated. Our server was Eric, and he was excellent. The support staff was wonderful. The menu was laid out in land, sea, and sky. This is a great place for family dinners or business dinners. If you want a unique Chinese food experience that is classy and very reasonably priced, give it a try. It will likely far exceed your expectations.“

“First things first: Cheng’s is a wonderful restaurant with a gig-delivery OR customer pick up model and no seating for diners. We prefer to pick ours up which gives us a couple of minutes to enjoy the fragrances wafting out of their kitchen. The food is well prepared, fresh, and well packaged for the drive home. The counter service is polite and efficient. The parking is easy (they also have a drive-through pick up window). If you go pick up a paper menu to make ordering easier the second time. FYI, the five stars for atmosphere is because the waiting area is comfortable, clean and smells delicious.“

ENJOY!

“I've been a fan of P.F. Chang's for years because the food is consistently yummy. I mainly wanted to write this review for the service we had tonight. Shon has such a wonderful personality. He greeted us warmly and was attentive and helpful the entire evening, from keeping drinks filled to boxing up our leftovers for us. He even ran into the parking lot when our party accidentally left something at the table. The service is more often good than not when I go out to eat somewhere, but it is rarely so great that I feel compelled to write a review highlighting the individual. Thank you!!!!“

The prices are very reasonable too. And you can see them cooking your food. When I got my order, it was enough to feed 2 people! They are generous with the sauces too. My meal was very hot and the fried rice is full of flavor. I will definitely be recommending this restaurant to anyone who wants good Asian food.“

“This is a nice, little, quiet place in a shopping center. I imagine most people get take out or delivery but there are three booths for dining in. The service is exceptionally friendly. The food is quite delicious. I love the spring rolls, the fried rice, the broccoli with garlic sauce, and the lo mein noodles. The food is delicious, inexpensive, and served quickly.

Vegetarian options: There's a vegetarian section in the menu that has a wide selection. Plus some appetizers are meatless.“

“This is the best Chinese food place! It’s a family-run business that still gives tremendous customer service despite COVID. There is no indoor dining right now, but their carry-out service is still great. Masks are worn and social distance is maintained. I’ve never had bad food here. My food is always hot when I get home, and all food is nutritious and appealing. I especially love the vegetable bean curd soup and the vegetable rolls. I’ve also had some of their vegetable dishes. Portion sizes are generous, and the customer service has always been superb. I highly recommend Wah Mei, located in the Hartland Shopping Center on Hartland Parkway, Lexington, Kentucky.“

“A must stop if you are an Asian cuisine enthusiast. We stop here often and have never been let down. I’ll agree the food doesn’t stay consistent, sometimes the spicy bourbon chicken is less or more spicy depending on the day, but that enhances the experience! If the food stayed 100% consistent, I’d get suspicious that their food is prepared off site and frozen.“

I usually don't like the sweet and sour sauce of places but this was good. My Hunan with chicken, shrimp, beef and vegetables was nicely done, a bit of spice , and all meats were tender.“
