The restaurant was very quiet and empty when I dined in. I ordered the Dynamite Roll and Chicken Pad Thai. The Dynamite Roll had good flavors but was a bit dry. I wish there was more kani and sauce to balance it out. The topping was about 80% panko and 20% kani. The Pad Thai arrived quickly, served hot and had nice flavors. It tasted good but the portion was smaller than I expected. The pad thai is a good serving for one person. As for the prices, it's great for sushi in the area. 3.5/5. It's a cute spot worth trying!

Nice place to have lunch. Service is excellent. Our food was delicious. There are booths lining the walls, tables in the center and a sushi bar. Definitely stop by to eat.

The sweet and sour chicken batter was crispy and light, and the chicken was moist and juicy--not a common thing in my experience. The hot and sour soup was great. The chicken Thai with spicy mango sauce was plentiful and delicious. The service was quick and solicitous. Will go here again!

Very Happy with the food and service at Happy Wok Pennington. My daughter and I shared several very nice meals at this Pennington hidden gem including her birthday. The Sweet and spicy soup was outstanding as well as our sushi and sashimi entrees. My compliments to the Itamae!

Delicious white meat chicken. Absolutely stellar, have not sat down to eat. Always gotten takeout. The combo is good and the portions are good for leftovers. Place looks cute inside

Delicious, fresh food , generous portions at a good price. Pleasant staff, too. Love their Pad Thai and Philadelphia roll.

Let me preface my review to say I managed a premier Hong Kong style restaurant in the past, so I know all Chinese menu items from ingredients and sauces to the finished dish. I have not been a faithful customer without reason for years...and all I can say is, you can depend on FRESHNESS... nothing is more important. Secondly, sauces are one of the things that moves Chinese food to the top. And, they deliver! I wish our area's Asian restaurants attempted to attain these standards, but except for some awesome more upscale sit-down restaurants in this genre, most (take-out) restaurants fall Miserably short. Please trust me and give them a try... and they are also sit-down. Love you Happy Wok!

New Happy Wok in the Pennington Shopping Center is a Chinese owned Asian fusion restaurant that offers Sushi, Bento Boxes, Thai Curry and Pad Thai, in addition to several standard fare Chinese dishes (General's and Sesame Chicken, etc.). The room is dark cast with booths along the walls, a long banquet table in the middle and small Sushi Bar in the front corner across from the entrance. I stopped in for lunch yesterday and was greeted by the mamasan, who seated me and handed me a menu. She returned to take my order of Chicken Katsu bento box, with small California Roll, Fried Spring Roll, White Rice and a bowl of Hot & Sour Soup. I know I was mixing among the national cuisines, but that is what a fusion restaurant allows that is not otherwise available in a single culture kitchen. Very glad I took that approach. The best came first. The Hot & Sour Soup was terrific, and about the best rendition of it I have enjoyed in a long time. Everything was freshly prepared from tofu to mushrooms and beaten egg. The standout ingredient was the use of Thai red pepper flakes in the pot. It helped make the creation more hot than sour, which was an eye opening experience. Loved it! From there, most of the rest was pretty standard. The chicken breast breaded and fried was thin and crisp, with a thick Hoisin - like dipping sauce. Under the bird were steamed veggies which added interest and health into the equation. Decent. The sushi roll had a freshness, but was otherwise unremarkable. Same for the Vietnamese spring roll which was oily and little more than cabbage and tiny slivers of carrot and cucumber. I skipped the rice as unnecessary starch. I also appreciated the hot green tea that was refilled twice without extra charge to the meal. All this for $12, plus gratuity. It wasn't creative after the soup, but a decent, filling midday nonetheless.

This is a solid 4 star hole in the wall Japanese / Chinese restaurant. There is nothing special about the decor and it's tucked away inside the Pennington Shopping Center. This is what I would call a "sleeper" restaurant. Upon entering I expected no more than a standard run of the mill meal. However, all three of us in my party were pleasantly surprised. We were looking for a lunch spot in the area for sushi and Chinese fare and after a quick scan of Yelp I decided this would be a decent spot. When we entered on a Wednesday afternoon just past 12PM there was nobody in the restaurant except for 1 person who was waiting for a takeout order. Our server approached us with a smile and handed us the paper take out menu's (I was a bit surprised a restaurant didn't have a nicer menu for dining in). She immediately let us know that they have a lunch special and turned a menu over to show us. There were a lot of decent choices so I ordered the Sushi and Sashimi lunch for $15.50(4 pieces sushi, 9 pieces sashimi, and a tuna roll that also came with soup). I opted for the hot and soup. My wife ordered the Toro Special Sushi Lunch for $13 (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, eel suushi, and a tuna avocado roll). She also chose the hot and sour. My mother in-law ordered the Shrimp Lo mein lunch box for $10 (served with a california roll, soup or salad, rice, and a spring roll) She chose the wonton for her soup. We also ordered 2 hot green teas which we waited about 10 minutes for since they brew it fresh from fresh tea. The green teas were fantastic and earthy. These were 75 cents each,,,,not bad. The soups came first. The hot and sour looked so good and when I tasted it....OMG it was incredible! I have had my share of hot and sour and consider myself a connoisseur and this soup, at this small place in the Pennington Shopping center was the BEST I've ever had! I immediately ordered a quart to go for $5 so I wouldn't forget after we ate our lunch. Next came our meals. The lo mein was as to be expected and my mother in-law liked it. The sushi, although not the high end of quality sushi was fresh, delicious and melted in our mouths. The presentation and portions were great. The sushi check took the time to create an impressive looking display including a small panda behind a real bamboo looking jungle plant on the corner of my plate with green kale nestled around the sashimi. All in all, I would certainly return everytime I'm in Pennington and this would be my first choice for sushi in the immediate area. Also, every time I pass by I will be compelled to stop in and grab a quart of their amazing hot and sour soup to bring home.
