I love me some Five Happiness. But, chinese food goes down in quality for take out/delivery. It should be served at a table in a restuarant. Neauxla, we are both Uptown natives and Five Happiness is always my go to spot.

Their fried rice was good..I'll give em that. But the other 2 dishes I ordered werent all that good. Plus 5 happiness is closer! :-) China Orchid on Carrolton actually is pretty good if I'm going cheaper. There used to be a place in Kenner on Transcontinental (i think) called "Wok it to Me" They had the BEST lo mein! I've never found any place that came close to comparing.

5 Happiness is overrated, never really cared for it. But its where my family always wanted to go.

eat at Egg Roll House (near Lakeside Mall)

You can't beat them for the price! Their beef n broccoli is good shite too!

So how are their eponymous eggrolls? Got to admit I've driven down Vets a few times hungry just for a snack and wondered ....

Couldn't finish the one I tried...whatever else I got was covered in some disgusting red goop...

It isn't very often that I leave because something is flat out inedible!

PF Changs is always going to be my favorite and I'm as anti-chain as any native New Orleanian.

I will NOT eat at a chain restaurant in New Orleans. Except for PF Changs.

Their Orange Peel Beef and Kung Pao Shrimp/Scallops are twice as good as anything on Five Happiness' menu.
