Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Happy Dragon has been there seemingly forever. It looks a bit cheesy from the outside and it's not upscale inside. It's not even the best Chinese that you'll find in Biddeford. But there's plenty to like about the Happy Dragon. First, it's got the advantage of being like a real restaurant inside. You won't think you're eating in a take-out place when you're in the dining room. Second, there's the service. It's friendly and communication is great. They talk, they smile, and they understand. It's nice. Third, it's a local hangout. People go there and find their friends or neighbors eating a few tables over. There are a ton of regulars in the dining room. Finally, there's the price. If there are two of you eating dinner at the Happy Dragon, look for the "for 2" entrees. We split the Marco Polo and some tea for dinner. We left full, took home enough for another meal, and paid about $17.50 including tax and tip. If we had gotten the more expensive Seafood Lo Mein, it would have been about $21. We'll spend more than that having breakfast at the Palace Diner. Oh, and the lunch menu shows a bunch of choices for about $5. If you think you're going to do better than this, you're probably on your way over to Mulligan's. It's not amazing food but it's a good deal and it's consistent enough that it keeps the locals coming back. Don't be afraid. Go to the Happy Dragon expecting a decent cheap meal and you won't be disappointed. Just don't think you're going someplace fancy and don't expect to close your eyes and think you've been magically transported to Beijing or Shanghai. It's a reasonable Chinese restaurant in Biddeford and here on Yelp it meets the official definition of 3 stars, which is A-OK.

I gave the Happy Dragon 2 stars. If you judge purely on the food, calling it a 1 star is a stretch. I had the General's Chicken. It comes with a "hot" warning on the menu which is right up my alley. It was so sweet, I couldn't stand it. Not even a hint of heat. When I asked for some Sriracha sauce to spice it up they brought me a Sriracha bottle with some muddled brown "house sauce" inside. It was NOT Sriracha. I also had the displeasure of trying their hot and sour soup. It was neither hot nor sour. It was the consistency of beef stew and also sickly sweet. Maybe they have other items on the menu worth trying, but I won't be going back. The only reason why I give it two stars was the extremely friendly front end, very attentive wait staff, and the solid value for the money. If you value service and pricing maybe this is the restaurant for you. For me personally, I need a restaurant to have good food FIRST, the rest is decorum.

Oh Happy Dragon. It is ok. Just ok. The staff is very nice and the food is well, american chinese. No it is not authentic, it is greasy and slimy and smothered in oil. They offer a good selection of lunch specials and the appetizers are actually pretty good. I would recommend the egg rolls and chicken teriyaki. They have a full bar and make some tasty and strong drinks.

Happy Dragon is the place where everybody knows your name. We come here frequently and enjoy the familiarity of sitting at the bar and seeing regulars. And there is Ms. Pac Man! The food is ok but the egg role is awesome. The staff is super friendly and personable.

Food is decent. Unfortunately that's the best I can give it. Tried twice now just to be sure. Told it is ready "5-10 minutes" when I call.-- that's not a good indication of fresh food. Chicken fingers were too overlooked to eat. (Breading practically too hard to cut) General Tao is too breaded and had no spice. Pork fried rice was good. Spare ribs excellent. Seems that they just overcook things to the point of them being too crispy and tough

Keep driving... This is a local dive. Ate there on a friday, ordered beef with broccoli which came out in a heavy laden brown gelatainous gravy. Beef did not taste fresh and was tough and rubbery- on a friday night. Chicken fingers were undercooked and doughy, dripping with oil. Everything was flavorless and fatty

So gross, don't bother going. Lousy food and awful service. Greasy everywhere and no flavor besides salt.

We all know the Chinese, with their ancient family recipes, flock to mid coastal Maine and it has thus become an epicenter for fine Chinese dining. With this competitive environment the Happy Dragon manages to fall somewhat short... We had grease dripping plain chicken fingers and the Orange chicken which is an orange corn syrup poured over those same chicken fingers. It is obvious they were painstakingly reproduced just as they always have been since the 2nd Tang dynasty... One star because the Generals was pretty good and one star because it was a clean friendly place...

The food here is not good. I love shrimp with lobster sauce and I'm not sure what I got. The sauce tasted the same as the sauce on the beef with broccoli.

If this was just on the food, Happy Dragon is 1-star for me. The 1-star isn't because of the lack of authenticity, it's on the actual execution of the items. While I understand it's Americanized Chinese, many places can pull that off without sending the dishes out swimming in oil. Lo-Mein, beef with broccoli, Mongolian beef - it is all served up shining in oil, leaving a puddle at the bottom of the takeout container. HOWEVER, I have to give a 1-star upgrade because the staff is ALWAYS friendly, service is always prompt, and the dining room is always clean. Also, for what it's worth, the prices are extremely reasonable for the quantity of food. Plus, truth be told, they have my favorite egg rolls on earth. Perhaps it's nostalgia/fondness for tasting my first-ever egg rolls here, but whatever the reason, they just work for me. Because so many new restaurants have popped up in the area in the last few years, I can't see myself going back to Happy Dragon anytime soon, but if I did, I'd go straight for the egg rolls and fried rice.

Bought egg rolls and port fried rice about 3 years ago. Egg rolls were very good, the pork fried rice was LOADED with untrimmed fat from the pork. Never went back again.

Go for the Hunan Delight of Three and you can't miss. Or go with the el-cheapo lunch menu and get a great deal. The food is Americanized Chinese -- which is what I grew up on. I didn't know there was anything else until I moved into an area that had a Chinatown community. Anyway, I always like eating at the Happy Dragon because it is a good value for what you spend. Also they have a full bar and can mix up some awesome scorpion bowls. And since it is located right in the heart of downtown it's easy to get takeout or you can sit in the restaurant which is always clean. The waitstaff are friendly and service is quick. In a town that has seen much change and loss of development in the downtown area, Happy Dragon has sort of been an anchor. It's been in this location for as long as I can remember.

Happy Dragon is good but not great. I have had their General Tso's chicken here (one of my favorite Chinamerican dishes) and didn't like it. The breading was to heavy and doughy and the sauce was too sour and not sweet enough. It was probably one of the worse Gen. Tso's I've had. That being said I don't think that it speaks for the rest of the menu as a whole. I've had their Broccoli in Brown Sauce (yes, I had a hankerin' for just broccoli one night) which was excellent and the portion was huge. The dinner menu is around $8-$10 and comes with the usual soup and app. The egg roll was good, the hot and sour, so-so. I know I've had something else there too but can't remember. Since I live 2 blocks away I always just get take-out but the interior looks nice. In fact it seems well visited around dinner time and is definitely a place I'd bring family if they wanted to sit down and have Chinese. Overall rating is A-ok since I've had mixed reactions to their menu.
