Happy China is a hidden gem in Durham, offering a delightful take on Chinese cuisine! 🌟

I recently tried their crab rangoons, and they were fantastic - crispy with a delicious cream cheese and crab filling. The general tso's tofu was equally impressive, with a perfect balance of gooey and spicy flavors.

The atmosphere is cozy and casual, perfect for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. Plus, there's plenty of free parking!

A little sprucing up on the exterior would go a long way, but once inside, you’re in for a treat. Can't wait to go back!🥢
