Vegetarian Restaurants near Saint Charles

“First time in the area after moving, I always like to explore the immediate area. You know, see what there is.Google Maps showcased several places, Happy Family being one of them.I have lived in small towns before, and almost all had a quaint little Chinese place.Happy Family fits that to a tee. From the moment I walked in the door, it was nostalgia. Nothing too extravagant, just simple, which I appreciated.The people were friendly and seemed to speak pretty good English. Not a problem if they didn't, my hometown Chinese place had a staff of about 6 and only 2 spoke decent English. So, I know my way around that barrier.I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, one of my go to staples at Chinese places. Fried chicken in tempura batter, generally not hard to mess up.... especially since it usually arrives frozen in bulk. Tasted good, little dry... but you have that from time to time.The sauce was very good. I normally go for the dip method when eating out. At home, I prefer to smother. It tasted like sweet and sour sauce, not really good at describing flavors all that well.No chopsticks, which is more a nitpick. Every other place I have visited, you generally request those and I forgot.Seemed kinda dead though, which did make me wonder. However, they got about 5 or so phone calls I noticed while eating. So, I think people just call in and take it home.All in all, very good. Few minor nitpicks keep it from being a 5. I will be back.“
