Happy Inn Chinese Cuisine

Ordered here because it was the only local Chinese food restaurant in the area open past 9:00pm near here in Rancho Cordova. Called in for takeout based on online menus, prices were pretty similar, not sure of the exact numbers. Lady taking my order was friendly, they take down your number as places usually do. Restaurant looked only partially set up for dine in, looks like they mostly get takeout orders these days. It smells somewhat musty inside, probably a testament to the age of the building. They have a lot of cardboard boxes in the back they use for takeout orders as trays/holders for takeout dishes instead of plastic bags. The food portions were fantastic in my opinion, as you can see by my photos. Definitely didn’t feel like the amount of meat was lacking at all. My house special fried rice had about 4 pieces of shrimp which is pretty generous in my experience. Mu Shu Pork had plenty of pork and a good amount of veggies as well. The House Special Fried Rice tasted pretty solid, no complaints. Standard chinese fried rice flavor and nice firm but not hard rice. Came with carrots and peas, which is not my favorite for fried rice but it tasted fine. The Mu Shu Pork comes with “pancakes” but they’re more like tortillas or crepes, which you use to eat the pork in like a taco or hand roll and drizzle with some of the plum sauce if you like. I have not really had Mu Shu Pork and wanted to try something new. This one was pretty tasty and I recommend it. Fairly simple soy based flavoring but with the pancakes and plum sauce it is very good as far as americanized chinese food goes. There was also definitely more of the Mu Shu Pork than could fit in the pancakes so there was some extra to eat with rice. Great balance of meat and veggies in my opinion. The people working there I assume are the owners. The lady in front was friendly. I would definitely come here again if I was in the mood and didn’t want to go all the way to Fortune for Chinese food. I had a menu picture but it got soaked from some of the liquid in the Mu Shu Pork tray I spilled 😅

We really like coming to this place. The food is always very tasty and never over cooked. Prices for what you get are extremely reasonable you get a lot for your money. The staff is always friendly and helpful. We ordered salt and pepper shrimp, spicy garlic sauce vegetables with shrimp and the general chicken combination plate with chow mein and chicken fried rice. Keep supporting local small business like this place 👍

Made order by phone and picked up. They were accommodating for gluten-free, ask for no sauces or wheat with white rice. Did not have any problems.

Good quality food and you get a lot for what you order. Ended up with another meal worth of food which rarely happens for me. I did pick up for my order by ordering online via their website (which was super easy to do) but looks like they also do free delivery if you are close and order more food than I did.

This is hands down my favorite place for Chinese food. The portions they give you are unmatched, I often walk out with over 3 pounds of food in my takeout box. The dining room is very homey, and the staff are welcoming. The food is very good. I always get the orange chicken with chow mein, but I've eaten a number of their other entrees and they are all delicious. I live right around the corner so I always pickup, but the delivery deal is great. Free delivery under 3 miles, or any order over 25 dollars, and the delivery is always fast. Personally, I wouldn't bother going anywhere else for Chinese food if you're in the Sacramento area.
