Happy Eatery Dumfries

I was in the area and decided to stop by and it was a pleasant experience. I come from a Chinese restaurant background. My parents used to run one so I kind of know what to look for when I go to these mom and pop shops. First things first, I'm not looking for a 5 course Omakase fine dining experience when I dine at these restaurants. What I really look for is price and how comforting the food is, which this place definitely did well on. It's the kind of food that just makes you feel good when eating it like when you've had a rough day at work and need that magic to turn your day around. The two items I got were the sesame beef and bourbon chicken. Sesame beef was tender and had good flavor, it wasn't as crispy when I got it but that's expected since I did take out and not dine in. The bourbon chicken was interesting, most of these places when they say "bourbon" they don't actually put bourbon in there, or even if they do it's like cheap bourbon and you can instantly tell. But here the alcoholic flavor complemented the chicken well and I enjoyed it. If I didn't live so far away this would be my new take out Chinese spot, however, if I'm ever in the area I would for sure stop by again.
