  Only place in the area to get decent Chinese without having to drive to Hopewell or  take a long drive up to Pleasant Valley.

  I used to live close by, and I have to say that the quality of other chinese food I have had from other restaurants since moving away pales in comparison to Happy Wok. Happy Wok always has good cuts of meat and their sauces have the right balance. The food is never too greasy nor too dry. Their vegetables are fresh and give the right balance to all the meals.
  
  Maybe since moving to NYC I have frequented too many low-end Chinese restaurants, because none of them are as good as Happy Wok. All I need to do is go visit my father who still lives near Happy Wok and try their food again to reconfirm how good their quality is.
  
  Don't get me wrong, Happy Wok is still Americanized Chinese Fast Food, not authentic chinese food, but it's the best in its category around.

  Fresh, tasty, what you'd expect.  Nothing extra ordinary but very satisfactory. When you're in the mood for Chinese, if they are convenient  to you then call it in ... "10 minutes" no matter what you order ;)

  Heading to the city, I stopped for a lunch break at Happy Wok, which is located in the A&P Center plaza on Route 82 North near the Taconic State Pkwy interchange. This is a typical strip plaza Chinese eatery, which is an order at the counter place with open kitchen and table seating for eating in.
  
  The menu offers the standard Chinese dishes and items including Szechuan, Hunan and Cantonese special dishes, as well as a diet menu. The prices here are reasonable, most items priced under $10 and a few items priced under $13. 28 Lunch Specials ($4.60-$6.25) served with pork fried rice and 20 Combination Platters ($7.35-$8.25) served with pork fried rice & egg roll.
  
  I ordered the L11 Chicken Lo Mein ($4.95 plus tax) with Pork Fried Rice for takeout. The food was cooked fresh to order on the sizzling woks and the pile of chicken lo mein was packed down tight in a round plastic container, ready in 7 minutes.
  
  The chicken lo mein was good, which had the right proportion of vegetables (carrots, cabbage, onions), sprouts, bamboo, soft boneless chicken strips and soft lo mein noodles (not just all noodles), slightly overdone and not too salty. The pork fried rice (light golden color) was decent which had a firm texture with roast pork cubes and onions. There was enough carbo-goodness  for two normal sized lunches.
  
  (3.40/5.00 stars)
