I love happy all.... Cold shrimp springrolls

by CSMobileUser at Citysearch

I like this place. It fast, easy, just maybe a better hostess, and it'll be top notch. Food is good, nice view, I like the heights ambiance. Try the cold shrimp spring rolls, they rock hard!!!

Crappy waitress

by beautifulesther at Citysearch

According to the voluptuous waitress, there is a student sitting fee. This is the only restaurant that has that policy. It is discriminatory. We decided to leave and never go back.

• Pros: large servings of food
• Cons: Awful service and a student sitting fee

Chinese fast food is great!

by sharifi at Citysearch

We frequent Happy All during rainy days or when we're looking for a quick lunch. It's nice to not be bothered during your meal a hundred times. Almost every seat in the Heights location is a window seat. It's quiet, it's quick food, and the it's pretty good. If you want a convenient location choose Happy All. The cooks in the kitchen are Mexican, so you know they know how to cook.

• Pros: Quiet, quick, and inexpensive. Genereous portions and convenient Heights location
• Cons: Simple atmosphere

Mediocre food & service.

by Barttie at Citysearch

The waitress chit-chats on cell phone incessantly. She has not a clue what is happening at her tables. She must be a relative of the owner, because most waitresses could not get by with this. Food is nothing special, but prices are reasonable.

• Pros: Price
• Cons: Inattentive waitress

Below Average Chinese Food

by awp at Citysearch

First of all with a name like Happy All how on earth are customers supposed to know that it is a Chinese restaurant? The atmosphere is dingy and dirty so I've only had delivery & take away.

The ordering process went smoothly and they never got our orders wrong but the food leaves something to be desired. Even the rice is bad - how can you mess up rice at a Chinese restaurant? Well, I'll tell you how: because the cooks are actually Mexican and God only knows what they are putting in the food.

It got me very sick and the flavors were off. The Vietnamese (yes they have some Vietnamese dishes) spring rolls were deep fried which is a big no-no. The grilled chicken was all dark, fatty meat which I couldn't eat at all. The soup was watery and had no flavor.

The sauteed spicy green beans were not spicy at all and were the biggest, thickest green beans so they never got that crispy sautee feel that real Chinese string beans are supposed to have.

I've had their food with several other people and those people did not enjoy their meals either and we all had different food so it's not as if it's just one or two items.

I would avoid the Happy All Cafe - the Heights just doesn't seem to have good oriental food. I'm not sure what the problem is but it stinks for us.

• Pros: Plenty of parking
• Cons: Food is terrible, atmosphere is dingy & dirty

Best Shrimp Lo- Mein Around, Happy Family Rocks Too...

by zeprep25 at Citysearch

I have Eaten at Happy All Cafe multiple times and the food is consistant, Especially the happy family, and the Shrimp lo-Mein or Chix or beef for that matter, Saute"d items are the way to go, avoid the deep fried stuff, like the guy with the problem with sweet & sour pork. I "ve never liked it anywhere. Where do your taste buds come from!! Pluto!!!

• Pros: Not a large dining area, Great Heights Location
• Cons: When are there not any, Get Real

blech!!!!! but judge for yourself...

by wgzn at Citysearch

went there for lunch on a saturday and tried a very pedestrian dish - sweet and sour pork (ok, maybe that was my first mistake). but it came to my table with a football sized pile of greasy, bland plain fried rice and an equally huge pile of batter fried pork bits - at least i THINK it was pork as it was hard to make out under the all-encompassing blanket of batter, deep fried slightly beyond recognition.

even finishing only 1/3 of that meal, i couldnt eat anything fried for like a month...

service was good though. i may go back and try something a bit more creative before a cast my final vote

• Pros: price, ultra casual
• Cons: avoid fried stuff!!!

terrible food

by shulli at Citysearch

a plate of white rice piled on the plate with greasy fried pork served with something red on the side. Guess that was suppose to be the sauce for sweet and sour.... do not waste your money or your time.

Offers nothing .. eggrolls were small and mostly fried lettuce.. terrible..

• Pros: good parking

Best Vietnamese Egg Rolls!

by palapakini at Citysearch

Best Vietnamese Egg Rolls without flying to Vietnam or to my mother's kitchen on the west coast! This place lacks ambiance, and the food is not authentic as it should be. There are too many types of food on the menu: thai, chinese, vietnamese. I have goldne rule that you never mix the types of food on a menu. It's either Thai or Vietnamese or Chinese/Vietnamese food but not all three together. Parking is aplenty here at this Heights eatery. It's good food, good Heights location, and they deliver!!!!!!! Don't expect to have the East Meets the West kind of Asian cuisine. And the prices are very very reasonable.
