Surprisingly good and very, very affordable. Their orange/sesame/Tso's chicken chunks have more actual white meat chicken in them than any place I've been. Best Kung Pao I've ever had actually. All while being the cheapest Chinese place in the area, at least that I have been to. It's a little hole in the wall and I let that fool me for a while but that was a mistake.

I have frequented Happy Kitchen several times in the past year. Although I don't live in Winthrop, I try to make a point of visiting when I go. Their standout dish is the wonton soup. I have had several, and this is the best in the area. Their service is timely, and they seem genuinely appreciative of their customers. I knocked one star for the chicken and broccoli, as the chicken in that dish has been inexplicably inconsistent. Hope to try that dish again soon.

Nothing is edible here . Has to be one of the worst Chinese to go food I had on my list. Seems like the food have been sitting there too long and dried up. These food should be thrown in the trash . Took one bite of the teriyaki and spat it out . Threw everything away basically after a few bites.

We ordered a few dishes for take-out: a tofu dish, a chicken dish, edamame, and udon noodles. The udon noodles were really good, very flavorful with fresh veggies! The edamame was average, nothing special-- if they added a warmed spicy option for edamame, I would definitely try it. Both our main courses (tofu and chicken) were fine; nothing amazing but not bad. The tofu was too soggy/soft and sticky for my taste, so I wouldn't get it again. I'll give the benefit of the doubt that the food may have been better dine-in. It was a little bit pricey considering portion size and quality.

We're in downtown Boston and we've ordered delivery from here a few times -- don't let the Winthrop location fool you, delivery is almost always faster than from somewhere where they have to drive through the city. The food quality is better than the prices indicate -- just keep in mind this is Chinese-American comfort food. It's not healthy, gourmet, or authentic, but it's always been fresh and tasty. There's a running commentary in the reviews about if it is or isn't like Billy Tse's. Listen, Billy Tse's is a Boston tradition, so I'd never say anything bad about his spot, but the way the food here is prepared IS very similar. Unlike Billy Tse's though, an order for two doesn't run us $100. They offer small portions and combination plates, which is impossible to find in Boston, but lets us get lots of different things to try.If you're looking for quick and easy Chinese delivery, this is a great option.

Great little local Chinese take out place. Prices are great with lunch specials starting at $5.55 which includes the tax. They also have family dinner specials which look like a great buy. If your interested in dining in you will need to be lucky as there is only one 4 top available. I indulged in the # 4 lunch special which is Chicken or Pork Lo Mein with White or Pork Fried Rice. I choose Chicken and Pork Fried Rice for the low price of $5.25 + tax. The fish was quite large for the price and could actually be shared by two if you add an appetizer. Parking is scarce in the private shared lot but easy enough to get a spot out front on the street. The staff seems polite and friendly and may even be the proprietors. I give Happy Kitchen a Solid 4 Stars

I need to balance all of the great reviews I saw about this place and give a more deservedly bad one. One review even mentioned that it was better than Billy Tse's. A person that can say that either knows the owner or does not have taste.This place serves unremarkable Chinese food. The beef and broccoli was bland and under seasoned. (I found myself over chewing because I couldn't swallow) The general gaus chicken reeked of vinegar and was over cooked. Spring rolls were greasy and undercooked. The fried rice was okay, and the lo mein wasn't terrible. I did like the crab rangoon though. I will not be coming back here even if they switched over management in the future. BTW this place isn't even in the same ballpark as Billy Tse's and I should of just ordered there.

Ordered the beef chow foon and the eggplant. Both were very mushy, super greasy and pretty tasteless. I won't be going back here.

I used to order weekly and completely stopped. The delivery driver doesn't want to walk up my stairs yet expects a tip. He's often intoxicated as well. Make sure you have the exact change for the tip otherwise he'll claim he has no change to give you and pocket the extra money. What delivery driver doesn't have change?! You need to fire that guy, he's hurting your business more than you know.

Ordered it last night and everything was exceptional. The spice level was on point, they didn't make it too spicy but definetly didn't skimp on fresh ingredients. Always delicious, in my opinion and prepared well. Delivery is always fast. Thank you!
