I always come here for a quick takeout order of BBQ pork on rice and Duck on rice. Quick, tasty, and affordable. I haven't sat down in their dining area to eat with the pandemic and all. It's a little hard to order when the guys don't speak english.

The food was ok but the waitress was the most rude I’ve ever seen. Take to go. Don’t dine in.

Cheap but delicious Cantonese food. Lunch special is must try and popular. Seafood porridge and salted brown chicken is our favorite.

This is exactly what I expect a Chinese dive to look and taste like!
-------------------------------
So my family was celebrating a birthday, and the special someone wanted to celebrate here. Admittedly, I've passed by this place 1000's of times but never once decided to venture in. The area looks mega sketch, perfect for filming degenerate high school skateboarding dropouts (the strip mall asphalt parking lot is like a skanky crumble cake).
As soon as we walk in, we see mismatched booth seats juxtaposed next to a Chinese hot deli counter. The oil residue on the floor adds an extra slick surface

Went to happy garden last night with my family and felt that it was ok!
The food was on the saltier side for me so that made it a lot harder to enjoy and some of the sauces felt way too thick.
We normally come here for the crispy pork and roast duck and those are both really good! I especially like the roast duck - I feel like it's really flavorful and well done. Crispy pork is also good - just make sure you eat it when it's hot so the skin is at its crispiest!! The skin stays crispy for a few hours though and it's good for a few days!
Parking lot is pretty tight and normally pretty full around

It is a hole in the wall. If it is hot outside A/C might not work. But it is cheap. It is flavorful. It is in a strip mall and you could easily miss it. But sometimes you just want to feel like you are in old Asia rather then the pricey glitzy places. Amazing traditional chicken basil and combo noodles.

My family and I came on a 95° day and the first thing we noticed was how hot it was inside. The AC unit was either not working or super low. After we ordered, it took half an hour before the soup, which usually comes immediately, to arrive. We ended up waiting almost an hour in the stuffy hot room before the first dish came. Our rice even came after the second dish arrived when had to we ask for it.
The food was pretty typical Chinese stir fry but probably on the higher end of Chinese restaurants you can find around here. The meat in the soup was dry and tough but besides that the food was decent
