The kindness of the people make this place special. When I find something good, I tend to stick to it. They make some of the best mushroom chicken and fried garlic chicken in south bay.

Good "Chinese" food here. I had the BBQ pork but I think I was expecting a different type of bbq flavor. The rice was good but somehow reminded me of stove-top- stuffing. The service was very friendly. If you're nearby, Great Happiness, is definitely worth the stop.P.S. Great Happiness only accepts cash.

My favorite Chinese food in all of San Diego. I have been coming here for over 10 years. The food is so delicious because it is the same cook and they are consistent with favors and freshness every day. My favorite is the Garlic Wing, a big tempura fried chicken drum or flat seasoned with garlic, salt, and pepper. BRING CASH.Vegetarian options: Chow mein, fried rice

Had the bbq pork combo and rainbow ribs its a great spot the biggest draw back is that it's cash only. The food is definitely flavorful. The rice and chow mein is definitely different from other spots but a good different. Would recommend if you have cash on hand.

The food is pretty good I had orange chicken and this other chicken with the bone it was really good. They also had this rib but that’s a Dollar extra. I did not like that they do not accept credit card or Apple Pay however it is a small family owned business and it is understandable. I didn’t have cash so came up with $10 in change LOL. Food is pretty good. Price is fair.

Ok this place is a whole in the wall with a whole lot missing. Not trying to be snobby but the owners are Viet and in no way Chinese (I know MicIheal the owner) and no this is not personal my honest opinion of the food and environment. I first started going there maybe 15 years ago and the owner was a very easy man to talk to. He would then come into a Newspaper/ magazine stand that I worked on third Ave and purchase lotto. We would always smoke out front and chat it up. Other than halitosis and a man who's story always has to top your it was alright chatting it up. Back to the restaurant or more like food sitting in greasy oil filled sauce for hours and hours then soaked in so much MSG it can't be eaten without 2 drinks, and I mean 2 12 oz cans because your palette loses all ability to taste if not constantly washed. My father (RIP) was a Mexican man whom enjoyed the spare ribs with char Seu like reddish oil they sit in. I went to keep him company and allot of the time because the owners wife is very very nice they would kick down some free food why my pops really liked it. So other than greasy food cooked on a flat top like a Dennys and never a wok like proper tze char uncle should. Beware for aMsg dose that's probably more than you should have in a month. And good that been sitting under a heat lamp for hours and very costly for most of this style food is. And a man whom drives a Mercedes' Benz suv a corvette and complains about the costs of everything being so expensive he's gonna close down soon , maybe if you want a powdered Thai Tea with 2 day old boba there is absolutely no reason to try this place. I am very very surprised by the other reviews except the 2 people whom got food poisoning. Sorry but I would be would expect this place to be Asked to not even call this Chinese food............. But oddly because of the nice wife 1 star and just the cray stories I have been told by this "chef" earned it another star. But Chula Vista would be a better place if this place was no longer.

Amazing food!Everything tastes like it’s made with love. And the chicken is actual chicken breast, not the kind where you can’t tell what part of the chicken it can come, like most Chinese food
