Happy Garden

After another trip, I came through the Glenside Train Station from the airport around dinnertime…read moreand remembered this Asian Bistro was nearby, so I decided to call in an order. The first thing that disappointed me was the no substitution policy. If your meal comes with white rice, you can't substitute fried rice or lo mein. Instead, you have to purchase a separate order, which makes the meal more expensive. I always appreciate restaurants that offer simple substitutions, so this was a downside for me. I ordered the duck, and my son ordered the General Tso's chicken. The food was cooked properly, but overall it lacked flavor. The General Tso's chicken came with very little broccoli, and while the sauce was okay, it wasn't as flavorful as I expected. The biggest disappointment was the duck. I've had duck many times before, but this one had a very strong gamey taste that made it difficult to enjoy. The seasoning just wasn't enough to balance the flavor. We also ordered their appetizer sampler, which included a egg roll, crab Rangoon, a beef stick, and a rib. I liked the idea of being able to sample a few different items. The meat was nice and tender, but even those items could have used more seasoning and flavor. On a positive note, the restaurant itself was clean and had a nice atmosphere. I believe they accept reservations, there's a convenient parking lot on the side of the building, and I also believe it's BYOB, which is a nice bonus. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures because I had just gotten back from traveling, was exhausted, and just wanted to pickup food and head home. Overall, we were disappointed. Between the no substitution policy and the lack of flavor in several of the dishes, it's probably not a restaurant we'll be returning to. Everyone's taste is different, but this experience just wasn't for us.

As regulars here, we were very disappointed with our experience last night. My meal was served on a…read moresilver plate that was covered in dust. After bringing this to the staff's attention, they merely transferred the same food onto a different plate instead of remaking it. Because the food was only warm to begin with, this process resulted in a cold meal. Despite the hygiene oversight and the dip in food quality, we were still charged full price. We love this spot, but the lack of service recovery in this instance was frustrating.

We already knew that the menu was going to be different from our experience at the other location however we learned again not to judge a book by its cover. In this case, it's nothing like what we experienced over the years again at the other location. The area was a little dicey and the restaurant looks honestly it looks tired inside. However, I will say that we were very surprised with quality of our food. We make a couple changes on some dishes, but in the end, we were very, very surprised. We started off with the steam juicy buns in our case soup dumplings , next we had to shui mai and the dish that we did make adjustments to was the tofu mushroom bok choy instead of tofu we asked them to put in beef, leaving everything else the way it is intended and a wound up being an outstanding dish. Hence we recommended the owners to consider adding a beef mushroom bok choy dish to the menu.

Great service, great food and great atmosphere. I hidden gem for sure. We will be back for sure.read more

My order was extensive and a bit complicated (as usual), yet it was prepared flawlessly. The garnishes on the individual pieces meticulously applied. Fresh and inviting, arrayed with an artistic flair for color and balance. The "Mango Tango" roll, extraordinary. My seaweed salad, everything about it was perfection. The others in my group of four went the Cantonese route, tofu fried rice, a seafood noodle dish, which were judged superior. Throughout the evening, we all agreed it was a fantastic dinner we enjoyed. BYOB and relax. While not over-the-top in its décor, Queen Sushi's dining area is clean and orderly, serene even. Lit by large windows looking out upon the shaded, peaceful streets of Glenside. In fact, we found everything Queen Sushi has to offer so satisfying, it is a shame, really, to enter a complaint, but nonetheless. As I find more and more, no matter how lovely the establishment, the service is often wanting, and this impacted our experience. Had I not mentioned the appetizer I had ordered, it would have been overlooked, I am certain, because another appetizer we ordered was indeed completely forgotten. And I know that sushi preparation is a separate affair from the kitchen, which can lead to food arriving at different intervals - not unusual. But the considerable length of time the rest of my group was made to wait listening to me ooh and aah over my sushi was more than a little awkward. It so happens that I am a slow eater, so even though the hot entrees arrived late, we all finished neck-and-neck, but I should not have been given such a head start. Things happen, I understand. But when they do, it can dim the sheen of what was, without doubt, the best Asian fusion we've had in quite a while.

We often times just opt for take-out Chinese, and we have a great take-out place very close to us. However, Queen is a nice sit-down Chinese restaurant, which are few and far between.

The Chinese eggplant was delicious, with the eggplant diced into small pieces mixed with vegetables, and the Szechuan-style tofu was also delicious, filled with lots of big pieces of tofu and many vegetables that were cooked perfectly. The service was fast and efficient, and the prices are on par with other Chinese restaurants in the area.

Unbelievable! Their foods are amazing. Unlike other restaurants, such as South Asian, Queen, or First Garden, Happy Garden's General Tso Chicken sauce is awesome. It is my favor. Also, their wonton soup is good, too. I tried in many restaurants in Glenside or other near areas. I prefer Happy Garden. And I strong recommend it for you. read more
