  I ordered the exact same items from King Garden and Happy Fortune to do a side by side comparison.
  
  Happy Fortune was about 10% less expensive for about $50 worth of food and included a free can of soda.
  
  Here were the items and how Happy Fortune ranked:
  
  Crab Rangoon- good, but not the winner and smaller portion
  
  Friend wonton- tougher breading and minimal meat filling
  
  Egg rolls- much smaller and less flavor
  
  Fried dumplings- meatier and thinner dough
  
  Pork fried rice- fluffier and moister
  
  Shrimp lo mein- smaller shrimp, more veggies, and shorter, thicker noodles that broke more easily
  
  Orange chicken- meatier, with less breading- but more broccoli and orange rind in container
  
  White rice- drier and the rice had a streak of grey in the grain
  
  Sweet and sour sauce- more water
  
  The extras- no silverware or extra sauces compared to the other place which generously provided.
  
  Bottom line: This is the place to go to for orange chicken, meaty fried dumplings (although smaller portion), fluffier (but not as flavorful) pork fried rice with more veggies like bean sprouts and no peas.
  
  Avoid this place for the little friend things, lo mein, shrimp dishes and plain white rice.

  We are looking for a new Chinese restaurant after tonight. Been going here for years. It has always been serviceable but nothing outstanding. Tonight we were trying some new dishes to see if we could entice our son who says he doesn't like Chinese food. We ordered Szechuan Beef and Twice Cooked Pork. Both were supposed to be spicy and neither had much flavor at all. The sauce was gelatinous and blah. Both were mainly vegetables, which were very good, but when you order twice cooked pork, you expect to see some discernible pieces of pork. The beef dish was somewhat better with larger pieces of meat, though it, too, was sparse. Even the rice was overcooked and wet. Crab rangoon and egg rolls were good. I have had good Chinese food. This wasn't it.

  The best wan ton soup in Delaware. You watch them cook your food from the very open view of the counter. The staff is wonderful, their children are so well behaved you may want to drop your own kids off for a couple weeks just for a tuneup! We have loved HappyFortune restaurant for amazing Chinese for about 20 years. We drive past several good Chinese restaurants to get to this place. It strongly recommended for take out!

  The worst Chinese food I have ever had. Shrimp and broccoli covered in thick dark sauce like corn syrup mixed with soy sauce. Shrimp with lobster sauce completely flavorless, with old frozen peas and carrots thrown in .... I felt bad for them. House fried rice had strips of freezer burned chicken that were so gross I had to spit it out. Veggie dumplings wrapped in thick soggy mush, paper tastes better. Don't understand good reviews ... there was NOTHING good about the meal. 30 bucks down the drain

  We ordered a variety of food including appetizers and entrees, and we were very pleased with everything we tried on this first visit. The food tasted fresh, was very flavorful and was reasonably priced... much cheaper than where we normally order from.  We are already looking forward to ordering again soon.
