I order the same dish - General Tso's Tofu - at every Chinese takeout I go to as a common denominator to compare them. And I only write when it's notable. And Happy China's is! They use a proper egg wash (or is it Corn Starch) to give it a crispy texture. And the sauce isn't overpowering. I'm a big fan of the place just based on this dish.
Side note, as I was sitting waiting for my food, I was reminded that the Chinese takeout is a beautiful thing. From its backlit signage unchanged since childhood to the neon lights (if you're lucky) reminiscent of the nineties, there's something comforting about Happy China. It's comfort food for sure, made by immigrants striving for the best.
