Hidden gem in Greensboro if you’re looking for authentic Chinese/Taiwanese flavors. Taiwanese popcorn/crispy chicken was on point and the guabao was delicious. Many of the menu items reminded me of Taiwanese night market favorites. Instead of being just another run of the mills Asian establishments, I can see the owner spent the effort to bring out their roots using fresh ingredients. Great place to hangout with thoughtful outlets strategically placed at every booth. Will visit again!

Really great tasting food, great combinations of tastes. I had bulgogi and bang bang shrimp baos. I tried my friend's ramen broth and it was rich and umami.

Fried rice and crispy chicken was authentic. Excellent bubble tea and slushy, my favorite is Mango and Lychee Slushy, so refreshing! The restaurant is clean and spacious with electric plugs for phones and laptops! Good place to hang out after class!!!

You don’t expect an Asian place on the UNCG campus. Happy Bowl is right there like an oasis in a desert for those who crave for a drop of soy sauce. Bubble tea is easily missed on the menu. This place could have been its own bubble tea place. There are many flavors to choose and combine, and I find my new favorite yogurt peach special. I hope you find your own special.

Great food, best Japanese food on campus imo. Expensive yes but a woman I believe is the owner or manager went out of her way last semester to show me how to order my favorite meal in a way that would save me money. Employees have never been anything less than great to me

We came here for the Bao and all of the options sounded good. Everything was cooked well and tasted great. The buns were a perfect texture and the fillings were full of flavor and decently portioned. We will be back.
