Best Chinese Dish in Town, But Otherwise, Only Slightly Above Average Chinese Restaurant.
I've had Happy Wok's Double Cooked Chicken lunch dish at least 40 times in the past few years and hand down, it is the best Chinese dish in Madison. It has extremely fresh green peppers, onions and carrots to go with lean, never grisly white meat chicken, all in a sweet, tangy, garlicy sauce that is terrific.
After falling hard for this excellent dish, the several other items I've had on their menu have been a bit of a letdown. They are pretty good, but not great, pretty standard Chinese fare. I've had the Hot Spicy Chicken, the Kung Pao Chicken, and the Szechuan Chicken and they are pretty good, but not real distinct, with just average sauces.
The staff are very friendly. The setting is sort of pleasant cafeteria, with hard plastic tables and chairs. It's bright with a lot of windows, they have a decent HDTV, and it's always clean. They have a drive through and their kitchen is quite quick - they'll have your meal ready in just a few minutes.
Overall, I recommend this restaurant and next time I may explore the menu a bit more and if I encounter anything that changes my mind, I'll update this review.
