Happy Family Restaurant & Lounge

Good food, reasonable prices and good service. Reminds me of experiencing Chinese food fifty-five or sixty years ago in a small town in California so it is American- Chinese or Chinese-American. So it is kind of like a comfort food for me. A bit strange at the time but it is very good. Authentic? Dunno, but if you want real authentic Chinese food head on into Portland and there are a couple of places there that unless you are Chinese you might feel in the minority.What I am trying to say is that Happy Family is very good at what they do. They are not stuck in the 1950s...I mean back then there was no spicy food at a Chinese-American restaurant so we do have some spicy food if you want it.We've been going there about twenty years (think there might have been maybe one ownership change during that time?) and there have been minor changes but it is a great place to take a family...or even go alone...order right and you'll enjoy your meal and take home enough for tomorrow.

Yelling at customers because they did not hear you does not make a repeat customer. Left before food was even ordered. Will not step foot in this location again.

Food was fresh enough it just really didn't have any flavor and the potstickers were absolutely terrible the bbq pork was old and dried out the dishes were full with vegetables but not much meat say I guess this place is ok if you grew up out here in molalla and never been to the big city for real Chinese food

This small town is known more for its burger joints than it is for anything else but tucked away on a side street you'll find a little bit of "traditional" Chinese food like we used to get way back when, before everything had to be fancy and expensive. The fried rice was decent, the egg foo yung okay, the fried crab wontons good, the cashew chicken not bad, the hot & sour soup hot and sour. If you're looking for a place to get a decent plate of Chinese at reasonable prices, look no further. Go get yourself some of those fried wontons, dip them in the sweet & sour sauce and pig out. Oh yeah, add on some pork fried rice and maybe some moo goo gai pan from their very extensive menu and you've got yourself a meal. Yes, their yelp reviews seem to be all over the place but give them a try and see for yourself. I know they've been inconsistent in the past but hopefully that's behind them and they can retain their status as Molalla's go-to for Chinese.

Super fast service and bland food not really all that good in my opinion but I go when I want a quick meal.Food is filling at the time but less then an hour later I am hungry again. Also has huge proportions.Has gotten super expensive from what it use to be and quality of food hasn't changed. Probably won't go back since the price increases.

One of the best Chinese restaurants around. Foods always fresh. Could use a adult beverage menu and fountain drinks tho.

It's tough to find anything positive to say on this one. We ordered a large selection of beef, chicken, shrimp and tofu dishes for a large gathering and nothing was an item we could praise as note worthy. We love to support local businesses but this one needs to create edible, flavorful options for us to ever think of returning.

Ugh, dirty, creepy fake Chinese restaurant. The food all tastes the same. No difference in any of the sauces. The veggies are limp & over cooked. Avoid at all cost!

Was not expecting the vegan options to be so versatile , but I was pleasantly surprised ! Super flavorful tofu , large portions and a good price! Thank you

We arrived a little after noon. The chef had just shown up, so we had a bit of a wait. You would have thought he'd be ready to cook by the time they opened. The place is kind of run down and the upstairs bathroom was filthy. The food was good. The service was ok. Not sure I would eat there again.
