Happy Wok is one of those places you love or absolutely hate. Our family has been going for twenty years plus since it became a Chinese Restaurant after KFC left Northport back in the 90's. The food is always hot and tasteful. Jennifer is always so sweet and her son Aiden is a delight. Locals know him well since he was a baby. The prices are average and the staff is friendly. But I do get some people don't like it and that's why we can leave unbiased reviews. IMO this place rocks.

This restaurant is now serving lab grown chicken. It’s not real chicken. It doesn’t taste like real chicken. It doesn’t look like real chicken. They are serving lab grown chicken. It is disgusting and they don’t tell you that they’re serving you this garbage. I think they should be assigned or something that lets you know what it is they selling you. I wouldn’t buy food from there ever again. If they’re selling lab prone chicken, they are no doubt selling lab grown beef. Avoided at all cost.

I ordered my food to be delivered at 4:40pm. It came at 5:15. I paid cash . They forgot my egg rolls. I called and waited till 6:45 to call them to see why they haven’t come back yet. They said they were busy and will come later. LATER!!?? They got to my house to give me the egg rolls at 7:45. On top of all this the food was sooooo bad. . They use to be good 20 years ago. Oh well. Will move to another place.

I love this place. My kids get their fried chicken wings and they're flavored so nicely. They have a subtle hoisin sauce and five spice flavor and so crispy tender and juicy. My daughter loves their white rice which to me is just basic white rice but she says it's the best white rice ever. I always get the sesame shrimp and cheese wonton but with sweet and sour sauce instead of duck sauce. The sesame shrimp sauce is so good. Sweet and tangy and savory. The cheese wontons are nicely filled and crispy. I think I order from here once a week.

This place is hands down one of the best Chinese food places out. It’s a mom and pop shop with an amazing and friendly child who is extremely kind. The crispy pork was to die for and I’ve had nothing like it before. If you want a place where there’s love cooked in the food come here. The chicken was the perfect texture and melts in your mouth, and they are very sanitary. The clean everything so well

I do not recommend this place. it's dirty. I saw the master of the kitchen cleaning the utensils with a white cloth, but it was almost black with dirt, when he realized that I was watching him, he hid that dirty cloth. Now the lady who serves customers is not friendly or cordial. He has to go study human relations, he should at least smile?. I have negative stars -10.

Great food, and very cheap, never a miss with any of my orders. A great meal, and less than a crap meal from McDs.

You can eat in but I think the majority of people do take out. It is great they have other Asian dishes as well as Chinese. I have done take out from this place on and off for over 23 years. I felt the food ran hot n cold for a bit after n during Covid. These days it is back to full throttle serving great tasting and quality portion food. ?Dietary restrictions: They can surely accomadate lots of different food restrictions

I have had some take out here many times over the last year. Basic foods like pan fried veggie dumplings , mediocre at best. Also ordered scallion pancakes which are soo crispy , too crispy for my liking. So after a few orders (3+) I've given them up... for good , I think.??? I know they have a large variety menu. So I do like that as a option. But the help/owners No personality ... not even a friendly smile!!! I have a need to have good customer service. It's very important.. here non , but it's close my bf likes them....?

We usually get the peeking duck and it's very good but the last time I went it was a hard duck I mean it was like as hard as a rock I went back to return it and the lady there gave me a hard time not going back anymore
Very great price and portion. The owners are very hardworking and the food is always worth it. I'm very glad they have made it through the pandemic.

As a person that LOVES Chinese cuisine, i had to write a review for this place. i work all over the island and I am always looking for Chinese food in my work area.I would RECOMMEND you to not waist time and money with this place. I ordered shrimp and lobster sauce with white rice and it was terrible. That’s my test dish for all new Chinese restaurants. I also ordered an egg roll and a small egg drop soup. The dish was extremely bland, vegetables were not cooked properly and the egg drop soup didn’t taste right. The only good thing was that they offer you big shrimps in this dish, everything else was not so great. Good thing I ordered an egg roll, because I had to chuck the left over rice and egg drop soup.

I want to leave no stars review as I’m currently recovering from a food poison from this place. We ordered 2 different entrees last night and mine was chicken mu-shu. The other dish was sesame chicken which tasted very rubbery. Their food is very low quality. Oh and we found something that looked like a small tooth inside one of spring rolls. Disgusting. You can do better.

They forgot our brown rice, lo mein was just ok, egg foo young was burnt and sauce was not good. Very disappointed. We used to really like the food here.

The food arrived over and undercooked, rushed and disgusting; The rice was like rice pudding mush! whoever owns this restaurant has no pride in their business, stay away!
