About

Happy Friar is a bit of a mixed bag. Many locals swear by the food, calling it the best Chinese in town, but recent management changes have clearly ruffled some feathers. While the portions are usually spot on and the flavors hit the mark for most, the delivery service is hit-or-miss. You might get a piping hot, delicious meal, or you might be left waiting for hours. It is a cash-only spot, so keep that in mind before you head over.
