Happy Wok Chinese Restaurant, located in Auburn Town Center, in Auburn, CA, is a family-owned and operated restaurant that serves a variety of Chinese dishes, in a comfortable dining room.I'm an active member of the Facebook group, "Gold Country Foodies," and for the past year or so, many members had posted very positive reviews about their dining experiences at this restaurant, both in the cuisine and the service. I'd been wanting to dine at Happy Wok for quite some time, and had messaged the restaurant to let them know of my dining plans, to take photos of my dining experience, and to post reviews on this website, Yelp and Facebook. The staff messaged me positively and said they were looking forward to my visit.As I walked into the restaurant, I was greeted by a hostess wearing a mask - not a great start - and promptly seated at a table and given a menu. She seemed to be in a hurry and rushed off, without saying much of anything. As I was looking over the menu, another staff member quickly placed a glass of ice water on my table without making any comments. There seemed to be one hostess and two hosts working the restaurant, and all were wearing masks, which definitely raised a "red flag" with me. Wait... this is Auburn, located in very "red" Placer County, and this is May, 2023... who wears masks? I looked over the "Lunch Specials" section of the menu, and decided to begin at the "top" and enjoy a lunch of "Sweet and Sour Pork," which is served with fried rice and egg roll, along with an extra bowl of "Sweet and Sour" soup, and a large Sapporo beer for dessert. My hostess - who I "think" is one of owners - came to take my order. Before I placed my order, I introduced myself, gave her one of my business cards, which introduce me as a photographer and a "foodie." She looked it over and said, "I'm too busy to take photos. I have other things to do." I asked her name and she didn't say anything. Alright...I then went on to say that I wanted to take photos inside the restaurant, and take her photo as she delivered my order to me. I mentioned that I'm a member of "Gold Country Foodies" and that we'd messaged and whoever had come back to me was "good" with what I planned to do. I told her that I have done this for many years, and would not be intrusive to other diners, and it would only take seconds to take photos. She replied again, "I'm too busy to take photos..."So I got up from the table, politely thanked her for her time, and in parting I said, "Since you're too busy for my photos, I'm too busy to dine here. I wish you a pleasant day." I can't comment about the food served at Happy Wok Chinese Restaurant, as lunch never happened, but I CAN comment that I've crossed them off my list, never to return.I truly wanted to love this restaurant, as countless friends and other "foodies" had posted many positive comments about Happy Wok Chinese Restaurant. Sadly, I wasn't able to enjoy their cuisine, maybe because of a mix-up, or a misunderstanding? I don't know, but when it comes to Happy Wok Chinese Restaurant, "it is what it is..."

All the food we got was the same thing. Unidentifiable tiny scraps of chewy meat in big deep fried batter with super sweet sauce. Lemon chicken, General's chicken, sesame beef, all just the same. Greasy egg rolls with very soft filling. I could not eat any of it. They were out of pea pods. Ridiculously unhealthy.

Placed an order for delivery.Egg rolls were fine .Chicken Chow Mein is just plain poor: about four TINY pieces of chicken (one solitary piece was quarter sized and the other 3 shreds smaller than a dime) in a carton full of fishy-tasting thick noodles. Oh plus a couple additional shreds of unknown vegetable matter. Called the restaurant to let them know and ask for a refund but phone wasn't answered. Including photos of menu description and the carton of Chicken-less Chicken Chow Mein.Really disappointed because this was ordered as a treat for my hard working husband. Doubt I'll order from Happy Wok again as this isn't the first time we've been underwhelmed by this restaurant. There are much better places here in town to get good Chinese food.

My mom took me out to lunch today and we decided to try Happy Wok since they had good reviews. The food was delicious and this was my first time trying pork buns and they were delicious. The mongolian beef and BBQ Pork fried rice were delicious too. The service was fast and the servers were nice and it was a quiet afternoon for a Monday at noon. 10/10 restaurant, I will return for more!

Had lunch here with friends. The sesame chicken I had was flavorful and crisp. I liked the fried rice. Very good. The seafood combination delight was tangy and sweet with a good proportion of meat and vegetables. The mu shu vegetables was a good vegetarian dish.

bought 3 orders of fried wanton and I think it was very old! Not even crispy or cooked well! I spent 40 dollars for soup and old... old fried wonton! threw out the fried wonton! I have had the fried wonton many times and it was never like this! They saw a way to rid themselves of old fried wonton! I usually order two orders and always eat all of them! so very disappointed if I knew that they were giving me old or under cooked. I would have saved myself 30 dollars1 oh well I learned something here!
