Happy Dragon Chinese Express — Restaurant in Vineyard

So far I've liked pretty much everything here. The Chef's Special changes often enough to be pretty interesting, and I'm quite partial to the BBQ chicken, honey chicken, and honey walnut shrimp. I haven't had the soup yet, but the sides are pretty much what you'd expect.

Update: I've visited this location a number of times at this point, and it feels like someone decided to do their own Panda Express franchise, without the branding. Since there are no corporate overlords you get some pluses and minuses—the food quality can vary by the week, or even by the day. They seem willing to make anything fresh if you request it, but since they are selling food for cheaper than Panda, I wouldn't abuse it. I think I've seen them switch their lo mein noodles at least three times, so I'm sure they're getting whatever is affordable. Often times its the 'usual' lo mein noodle, often it looks like they just use angel hair spaghetti. It is less consistent than a mega franchise, but I've always liked what they've served, especially since it's usually a dollar or so cheaper than the competitor. If you expect Panda fare for a slightly cheaper price, I think you'll be happy. The owners are nice and...

Instead of getting our typical Panda Express we decided to try out the Happy Dragon tonight. We were pleasantly surprised to find that it has a menu very similar to the Panda Express menu, almost identical, which made it easy to navigate the options. Despite the familiar menu, the food is unique to this place. It feels more homey somehow. Compared to Panda Express, the chow mein was more flavorful, the fried rice was better seasoned and fresh; we had the orange chicken, bbq chicken, honey chicken and Mongolian beef - all were tasty, fresh, juicy, well seasoned, and perfectly portioned. As cool little perks, they deliver or you can call and order from your car and they’ll bring the food out to you (great for mom’s with little ones in the car 😉) - they have large menus conveniently placed outside that you can use for this purpose. To top it off, the prices are lower compared to Panda Express! We will be going back for more and recommending this place to family...

We ordered online for delivery 20 minutes before our guests arrived because their website said it would take 30 minutes at the most. An hour later, I tried to call to get an update but their phone went straight to voicemail and said they were closed until mid June. This was September. At this point I just had to leave my place to drive there and ask what was going on. The staff was super unconcerned and made it seem like I was being unreasonable for wondering where my order was. They kept saying “5 minutes. It’ll be at your place in 5 minutes” and wouldn’t acknowledge that their phone didn’t work and their website had the wrong delivery time. I drove home and the food was delivered 10 minutes later. It was cold on arrival and the delivery worker had disappeared in the 10 seconds it took us to get to the door. Very unprofessional, very poor quality food, and terrible customer service. Absolute waste of...
