  Pretty good take out Chinese. Definitely a step up from most other grimy places.

  Happy Wok is okay. I've had way better American Chinese food, but it taste fine actually. I personally think it is WAY better than Cheng Hing.

  The majority of Swarthmore students claim Happy Wok is better than Cheng Hing. I beg to differ.
  
  First, how many of them have actually been inside Happy Wok? I have, and it was so dingy and dark (half the lights were off on a cold winter night) that it seriously freaked me out. Looked like the set of a horror movie. Not sure I want to have food that comes from here, even if I had it delivered.
  
  The food itself is pretty standard American Chinese takeout (as in just a notch below mediocre) but the one thing that they do very wrong is fried rice. I've had fried rice from here several times as part of combo plates, and the rice is always grainy and starchy. Properly washed rice should not taste or feel like rocks and whatever dusty chemical they put in the bag to preserve it! Ew!

  A standard American Chinese restaurant. Cheap prices, a standard menu, and cheap delivery. What else do you want?
  
  Get the combination platters - it comes with an egg roll, fried rice, and whatever dish you choose to accompany it. The egg roll is delicious.

  Pretty standard Chinese food.  I used to go here before I found China Moon in Morton.  
  
  Nice enough staff, located near the amazing 320 Market.  I used to go here at times as I preferred their Sesame chicken.
  
  If you're a Swarthmore College student you've likely been here already.  If you're not...well, you probably haven't.  In either case, it's average Chinese for relatively good prices.

  Happy Wok is the best non-elegant (non Da Shin) Chinese I've had in Delco and better compared to other Chinese joints in the area.
  
  I'm pretty sure I've said it before but it really grosses me out when Chinese places load up on the sauce. For me Happy Wok scores major points for not drowning their food.
  
  I've eaten lunch in the restaurant in a pinch but it's best to just do take-out.
  
  My favorite from here is the General Tso's combo which is around (I don't have a menu on hand) $5 for lunch and $8 for dinner which is par for the course for Chinese places.

  The Chinese take-out place by my house is horrible.
  
  Happy Wok is the Yin to Wong's Yang (meaning, it's wonderful).
  
  This establishment has a few tables, but does most of its business in take-out.  The staff is friendly, the menu is great, and the food is delicious (the orange chicken on the perfect spot of the crispy spectrum, and the dipping sauce for the dumplings is amazing).
  
  It's really quite a find, and I'll never go back to Wong's again.
