The place was very clean. Customer service was great. Our server was beyond friendly. Would definitely recommend. We ordered off the dinner menu and got the family servings (you have to order at least two). There were three of us eating and there was plenty of food left over. The portion servings are pretty big, keep that in mind. The meal included soup, appetizers, and two entrees. We did order the house lo mein and drinks and came in at about $80 not including tip. The food was delicious and it was pretty busy with carry out and delivery orders.

Had the combination plate, the food is so generously portioned and delicious. You could share the plate between four people, worth the price. Service is so friendly, place is clean. I am looking forward to returning to try other dishes here. Forgot to take a picture of the meal.

Happiness Chinese food offers generous portions that are flavorful and satisfying, but the service could use improvement. Despite the hour-long wait for our order, the taste of the dishes made up for the delay. If you're patient, you'll be rewarded with a delicious meal that’s worth the wait.

If you’re willing to give up a bit on quality, the value of this place is unbeatable for Chinese in Spokane. Family deal for two could easily feed 6-8ppl.

Hidden gem! Ordered through this place by accident and we had zero regrets. Huge portions, amazing fried rice, best BBQ pork Ive ever had. The most basic dishes were the best Ive tasted. Thats how you know they know what theyre doing when they get the basics right. Every single thing was tasty and flavorful. Also, its very clean on the inside of the building. Not too busy either. The real ones know this place slaps. Also easy access from the freeway!

The amount of food you get is insane, it is true, the portions are huge and the wait time is very minor. We didn’t even make a dent in our plate so we took the rest home. I would definitely eat here again. We ordered the chicken and beef lo mein noodles, both were delicious.
