Finally found another good Chinese restaurant. Good food and value. I rather walk-in to this place than give my money to an out-of-State corporate chain owned by billionaires.

Took my daughter here for lunch. We really enjoyed it. Food was fresh and delicious, I think I actually enjoyed more than Panda. Staff was helpful. Price was reasonable. Very clean! Will be going here again for sure!

It's basically an unbranded Panda Express, but fresher food, less busy, and better customer service. It makes the air smell AMAZING outside. Two super combos were the perfect amount for our family of four, two adults, two younger kids. They made our honey walnut shrimp fresh, then when they forgot to bring it to us they upgraded it from a small to a medium and apologized profusely. Such nice employees. They have the good round bamboo chopsticks. It was all delicious, but the BBQ pork was SUBLIME. Definitely coming back here. Beats Panda Express hands down and I love to support small businesses. They just appreciate you so much more. I just wish it had the room to be a nice sit down restaurant, but they're definitely more of the fast food vibe.

We've eaten here multiple times. We always love the food and the service. Food is warm and tasty, service is kind and straightforward. It's always clean, and they work quickly. Definitely would suggest.

A delicious place to eat all your dishes are prepared at the moment. The service is fast and very good. Established in the city of Vineyard Utah.

Happy Dragons new beef noodle soup is amazing! They fill the bowl with beef, and a healthy portion of noodles. Not like the other shops where the few chunks float around the broth. They told me it would fill me up, and they were right.

If you're looking for a better alternative to Panda Express, look no further. The food was very flavorful and not greasy at all, which is so refreshing compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area. Overall, the price is also very good and the environment is great. I would definitely recommend it! I had the lo mein, orange chicken, and beef with broccoli. Everything tasted delicious! I also had the fried dumplings (one of the best items on the menu, IMO) and cheese rangoons, both were tasty and not greasy at all.
