The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

We ordered the same dishes we usually get at a Hunanese/Sichuanese restaurant: blistered green beans, mapo tofu, and dry chili chicken. The blistered green beans were the standout: the right amount of blistered, with pork and mustard greens. The mapo tofu was well sauced, though the tofu pieces themselves were a little bland. And the dry chili chicken was tasty, but a little too fried for my taste. Overall, this was a pretty good, fairly priced joint in the neighborhood.

My family has a curse with these Chinese-American takeout places. We have a great experience the first few times and then the food starts arriving of a much lesser caliber. That being said, Happy Garden is my current place for a healthy, fresh Chinese American Combo Meal. They use fresh, clean vegetables and clean meat. I would prefer to have the tiniest amount of high quality meat in my food, more like a seasoning, atop a bed of varied greens. These guys do a good job of keeping the vegetables good without the big compromise: it's either loaded with piles of low grade meat in cornstarch, with a few veg for garnish, OR its so nutritious and delicious that they move to Williamsburg and I never hear another word.. Surprisingly clean beef in my veg. I am excited to try more things! But once my spouse ordered green beans without meat, but didn't know how to get the usual sauce. So he just ordered it regular instead of "beef with stringbeans, no beef"...and they served it in garlic sauce. Lots of places do this if you order it without meat; a real Chinese string bean might be topped with ground pork in the seasonings even if you asked for the non-meat version, because that is the traditional way to order it. Should you find yourself in the strange new world of people craving Chinese American Fast Food from whichever era you spawned, then I recommend trying as many local Chinese American places as you can. This one has the sauce-veg-meat ratio we are looking for, and the kinds of combination platters that can feed the whole darn bunch.

After I finished my lunch, I opened the soup and found a rubber band inside. That immediately made me question the sanitary conditions of the rest of the food. If they were careless enough to let a rubber band end up in the soup, it makes you wonder what else might be falling into the food and going unnoticed. Are there other random items above the cooking station that end up in dishes and just get caught and served afterwards anyways? Who knows. Either way, this will be my first and last time coming here.
