Happy I tried them! This is my first visit, ordered combination fried rice & egg rolls. The rice good, egg rolls were fresh, crispy👍🏽

Normally my food is fantastic and this is the only place I’ll order Chinese from. But they just have new management or people working the counter. Very rude and now requires a $25 minimum order to get delivery. Mind you delivery is not free and you pay to get it delivered anyway. Looks like I will be finding a new place. I don’t deal with rude and o don’t deal with a business who has a minimum, especially when I’m paying for delivery

I use to stay in Forest Park. I moved to the southside of Chicago. I was traveling a distance when I had the urge for Chinese food. But unfortunately I will find me another restaurant. Yesterday 1/24/24 I order some Chicken Dumplings, I get all the way home there’s no sauce for the Dumplings. I call and I told the owner they forgot to give me the sauce for dumplings. His exact words” oh I must forgot to put the sauce “ the next thing I heard was a dial tone. What happen to I’m sorry, I apologize. If I am a loyal customer , I expect good customers service. I have been going to this particular location at least 10years. I refuse to continue to patronize a business with lack of concern. 🤷🏽‍♀️💯⭐️

Order their orange chicken every time i go, and it is definitely worth the price.
It is delicious, and you get a very large portion.
I go here whenever I want Chinese and I have always had a good experience.

Absolutely disgusting!!!! I order a “Beef & Broccoli” Wednesday, April 10, 2024 and the beef gravy was slimy. I called the restaurant and they refused to give a refund

The food was mostly good, but 2 problems:

1. The potstickers were fried in olive oil and gave them a very strange taste.
2. We ordered the general tso chicken extra spicy, and it wasn't spicy at all.

Not the best Chinese restaurant around 🤷‍♀️

Wow. I was a little unsure due to the reviews but this place was better than any Chinese food I ever had - and I have tried a lot. Better than the other 4.5+ rated restaurants nearby. Mongolian beef and pork pan fried noodles were awesome. Would love to try more.

*Note: they seem to have different chefs on different days who prepare the same dish in different styles. I noticed the Friday night chefs were better than the monday nights. Some days better than others.

I ordered egg foo young and a shrimp fried rice. The food was bland with no flavor at all. I had to add my own seasonings once I made it home.

This will not be my go to spot for Chinese rice.

The customer service here has always sucked but the food made up for it. Recently been a decline in food quality and I peeked in the kitchen and they had a tub of what looked like orange chicken just sitting out on the floor. Very unhygienic. I'm not going back.

Great place for take out

Not the best customer service.

Malísimo

Grubhub messed up my order and Happy Chef called me personally to fix my order and drop off the correct order! You guys are the best !

I ordered the Thai wide noodles - were very dark, like burnt, not fresh. The customer service was very bad, man taking order was very cold and unfriendly.

I ordered egg foo young and a shrimp fried rice. The food was bland with no flavor at all. I had to add my own seasonings once I made it home.

This will not be my go to spot for Chinese rice.

ORDER LARAGE COMBINATION fried rice NO FLAVOR NO GREEN ONIONS OR BEAN SPROUTS FOOD NOT SO TASTY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

BAD SERVICE!!!! DO NOT COME HERE!
Paid a day in advance. Asked to deliver lunch next day, and the cashier says "give tip". The nerve to tell a customer to tell customers what to do is the first red flag. They have no idea I'm gererous in tipping, not to mention they have a delivery charge on the receipt I paid. Requested 1130am delivery. Cashier says 1130 - 1145am for following day. The following day, called to remind them of my order. Asked nicely if they can deliver 1130am. Cashier says "1145am Very busy". Ok, I said. So, I took a cart to meet delivery man. i get a phone call, shouting "where are you?". Second red flag. Claims delivery man has been in my building 1130am. I repeat what he said on the phone. Clearly too busy to remembering what he said. Delivery man comes out, arms up in the air, shouting, you said "you want early. Here, 1130!!" Finger pointing at me. I yell back, saying what was said. Third red flag. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! THESE PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT MONEY. YOUR FOOD ISN'T THAT GREAT, SO DON'T ACT LIKE YOU ARE. NOT WORTH RETURNING OR RECOMMENDING.

This was my go-to Chinese takeout place for many years.

One time they delivered to my improperly cooked chicken that results in food poisoning.
I won't eat there again, simple as.
Most of the time they are good, but that time was just so awful

Been ordering in from Happy Chef for as long as I can remember! Never disappointed!! Fast, fast, fast delivery!

Can eat in bit prefer to have delivered or carry-out. We like their Pad Thai as well as other dishes

Great place customer service is very nice

Main cashier is always super nice and food is always fresh and delicious. Most bad reviews are coming from people who don't know how to order. That's why menus are a thing. I recommend to anybody who loves Chinese food

Not bad. Very fast. Always get the order right. Prices are competitive. Parking lot is very inconvenient when the strip mall is busy.

I was trying to order from this place because a co worker order for me at work. Twice I called on different days a the man that was taking orders was very rude. Only because I was asking a question the first time the second time I corrected myself about the size then he felt the need to tell me I don't know what I want. Sad and I felt it was a racial thing. No good I don't care how good you food is

The customer service was TERRIBLE from ordering to receiving our order. The food is mediocre at best and definitely not worth spending your money

Please don’t order from them

Horrible Horrible çustomer service

Orange chicken is awesome! They are on time when it should be ready. During this pandemic, I like that few people are in line.

Great food.

This chinese store is my kung-food! Loaded and ready! To eat i mean.

Decent prices large portions food is tasty

Somebodies paradise

Wow. I was a little unsure due to the reviews but this place was better than any Chinese food I ever had - and I have tried a lot. Better than the other 4.5+ rated restaurants nearby. Mongolian beef and pork pan fried noodles were awesome. Would love to try more.

Always good and really fast delivery

Really good food. The attendant is a bit difficult to place order with, but the food is really good

Great place

From out of town and was looking for a good place to eat. I stumbled across the Happy Chef and here i am again. Food was fresh and the 15 minutes I had to wait was worth it. Will continue eating here next time I am in the Chicago area. Suggest you give them a chance.

Love the smoothies

Very, very bad customer service. Always angry, impatient and rude.

Great fried rice, tasty egg rolls bt the customer service could use some improvement.

I called 2/12/2022@5:25pm the guy there was so rude answered the phone I asked for a small fried rice with no meat he yelled at me what kind I said fried rice no meat he yelled again and said just say plain rice for get it and hung up on me I couldn’t believe how rude this guy was I can’t imagine that they wash there hands after using the washroom or after blowing or picking there nose very bad attitude’s they don’t value the customers at all you don’t see it until it happens to you very unreasonable never 👎🏾 again

Muy buena comida fresco y sabroso

Delivery Driver Was Very Rude and Disrespectful. When I Was Placing My Order The Person On The Phone Was Very Rude. I Will Never Eat Or Order Again From This Place

Muy rico

Happy I tried them! This is my first visit, ordered combination fried rice & egg rolls. The rice good, egg rolls were fresh, crispy👍🏽

Decent food and fast service...It's my place for fried rice...

Great dine in and food options

Good egg rolls

Good service and good food

Worst restaurant ever!!! I ordered chicken but was sent shrimp after telling the owner I was allergic to shell fish!! After calling the restaurant and informing them I was hung up on and when I requested my money back I was met with hostility, eventually was refunded my money but not the delivery fee or the tip that I paid I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN

Great food decent prices and strongly recommend the sweet and sour chicken it's to freaking good and really love their sour sauce for sweet and sour chicken

Horrible customer service! Completely RUDE!! WILL NOT BE BACK!

This place has horrible customer service. I was asking questions about their menu and the cashier was so rude. Asking me if I can read! I will not be coming back here. The worse happy chef I have ever been too.

Absolutely delicious! Always on time and hot!

🔥

Fast service with hot, delicious food. And courteous server.

Food is good and fast pick up and delivery

The guy who takes order is very disrespectful he hang up on people. He’s so rude I will never order their food anymore the restaurant tasty food is better and faster.😡👎👎👎👎

Nom nom nom

great food, always hot and fresh, delivery was quick and I've had no issues

I just a found bones and shatter pieces of it in the orange chicken, the food is fire but is there supposed to be bones in it? Cause my friends told me they not... Just be careful.

The best rice

Wide variety (from Chinese to Thai) of appetizers, soups, and main courses in generous portions served fast and hot. Carry-out. No dine in

Love the salt and pepper shell on shrimp

My go to Chinese restaurant. Mongolian Beef is great.

the guy in the front that take orders is very rude and so disrespectful.

Fresh food..yet wish they had Bok Choy.
Fast delivery for a weekend nite. Person taking order was hard to understand and kinda rushed me thi

The oarnge chicken is very good serving size ia large

They staff is rude. Have a nasty attitude like they are annoyed with being asked questions. They hang up on you and they reheat food from previous day!

They are so rude and hang up in ur face and nasty attitude

Chicken fried rice, as a meal, is exactly the style you're looking for.

Food is pretty good and service is quick.

Best Chinese I've ever had

Great food at a good price.

One of my favorite local chinese cuisine restaurants around Forest/oak park. Expect your meal to be ready soon because the chef is on the quicks. Probably the best fried rice around and in town. I love their lunch specials. Great prices and friendly service. Definitely a must try in Forest Park.

My first time there and food was great.

All is cook to order 🍽️

Good food, friendly people.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants. I love the deep fried tofu. I have not been to any other restaurant that serves this!

Extremely disappointed ordered Mongolian beef with shrimp and I received some type of noodles with a lot of onion and 4 pieces of shrimp. Called them to complain and of course no one answered..

Always good

Amazing orange chicken!! My husband and I love the egg rolls as well. The staff are super friendly. We highly recommended them!

Best chinese food in the state!

Great food, don’t know why this is at 3.9 stars

Wonderful food and service. I won't order Chinese take out from anywhere else! Food is always ready quickly and reasonably priced. Hope they continue to serve the Forest Park area for years to come.

They're food is good and portions are large. Prices are very reasonable. Quick delivery offered as well.

The man at the counter was very unprofessional. It took him 10 minutes to take our order due to him being on the phone. When my 9 year old son tried to order and pay he was very rude. We walked out after he did that and did not contribute our money to his business. I own the business around the corner and will tell my clients to not service this restaurant due to the lack of customer service skills.

I've been ordering from Happy Chef since I moved to Forest Park in 2015. The employees are really nice and the food is yummy :) I just ordered delivery from them right now!

Its a shame that I couldn't find this place and there were no sign of this place around all it showing was some back of building and that was it didn't even see the name of the place on the front of the business it's not right

Fast and delicious!

Food was made improperly. Was forced to bring it back to the restaurant to get it made properly after paying for delivery! The only upside is that the food was good, just like any other Chinese restaurant.

This is our go to Chinese food restaurant, since our favorite place in oak park closed. It's good, fast, and plentiful. She ordered the sesame chicken. She thought it lacked sesame seeds and flavor, she said it tasted like sweet and sour chicken. I had the salt and pepper chicken, and I enjoyed it. We like this place and will continue to use it.

It's very different

My sons go to is the sesame chicken. Its Very good here. Food came out fast and tasted very fresh went we got home.

I went to eat here and noticed food ....in particular meat tasted like bleach , but I thought I was just being paranoid went to eat again and sure enough meat tasted like bleach, not sure why but I am never going here again.
I heard rumors before that restaurants in order to keep serving stale meat use ammonia to make it appear palatable, I am hoping this is not the case. Other than that staff is nice.

Good

Good good

I always come here for the fried rice and the smoothies with tapioca. They have the best flavors and i will go out of my way to stop here on harlem and roosevelt because the rice at other places is not the same!

The shrimp fried rice is really delicious and the beef sticks also and I also got a mango smoothie which was good as well.

I ordered their Beef and Broccoli on many occasions until
I moved away. Delicious every time. Same kid took my order each time I visit the establishment. Very well mannered.

Pink chicken and greasy beef.

Good food. I was disappointed with Curry rice but happy with other items on the menu.

The worst customer service , he had a broken phone he couldn’t not hear me when i was giving the order and i was screaming my lungs out just to hear my order , he was so so rude to me i was ready to cry ... i never experienced something like that by ordering food . If i was able not to give not even the one star i will not give it .... 0

I Love The Food!....I Have Been Eating At This Restaurant For 14yrs. It's A Shame There Closed!

They have horrible service and the last time i eat there it was a bug in my rice.

Everything I ordered on the lunch menu was good and reasonable plus they're not shy on their servings

Lo mejor

Should be called Angry Chef. The new employees who take your order are always angry, frowning, and nasty... they never give you extra sauce :( It's shame because their food is sooo good

Food was AWFUL! Chicken was dry and overly sugary, the rice tasted like it was cooked in a dirty pan and the egg rolls had grit inside that felt like I was eating sand!

Lunch special is the best! Food is great and you get free egg roll and soda under 8$

Delicious food and huge portions.

portions are small compared to nearby Chinese like tasty house.. and it didn't taste as good

Ordered for lunch. I was given an estimated wait time of 30-40min. They are on Harlem and Roosevelt and my job is on Cermak & Harlem. Not far at all. I ordered at 11:33am. Called 4x to ask where my order is and how long more will it take. Every excuse was give him more time 5/10min. Then the 4th time I asked so how much long for my order all I order btw was 2 lunch specials of sweet n sour chicken. And the guy said “I have no control over the driver, just cancel your order” and then boom ! Walks in the driver no discount or anything. Paid exact change no tip and bye! Never again will I order from here not to mention I was loyal to them outside of work and never had a problem. I received my order at 12:50pm.

Love it

The worst ever!!! Please believe me!!!!! Go to tasty house around the corner on Roosevelt!!!

From out of town and spotted this place. Really good flavors and very quick service. Friendly customer service

I was very disappointed. The food is not good. Not my favorite.

Good food

Worst Chinese I've ever had. Would not reccommend

Fast and good quality ,not to pricey like J-Wok

Great food!! I remember when they 1st came to the area and the food is always good. I have another favorite place I go to that is not in the area. But this food is great and close to home and I love it. Today I asked for light gravy on the egg foo young and it was light gravy as requested the the egg foo young was soooo tasty without all of that gravy! Keep up the good work and so glad you have lasted because I have seen many new restaurant come and go within a year or 2 in Forest Park.

Is my best Chinese food in the area, nice service and fast delivery! 👨‍🍳 And they has the best egg roll!!!

Great food, Great lunch specials.

Food was not good. Do not recommend it.

Good food 😎

Love the food, rice and wings are the best

Usually quick food delivery only give him four stars. Only let me down only one time with your long delivery time but overall awesome place great food.

I go here for the lunch special. The food is good and the price is right.

Good food fast delivery never gotten sick

This is our go-to Chinese delivery and pickup place. Lightening fast service, good-sized portions, and pretty darned tasty food all add up to a winner in my book. I like that they offer a separate Thai menu to compliment the Chinese. And their deliver is outrageously fast!

What you'd expect, nothing less, nothing more

Great food. Love this place

Very very very Disrespectful, everyone from the management to the delivery driver. I will never spend my money at that dreadful establishment Ever Again. This Place is horrible but the people working there are WORST!!

A lot of good food for a low price

Food was not good, tasted old

Good food

Fast and delicious 😋 a lot of food for the price. I love this place. ❤

Good people
