I am very particular about my Chinese food, and how it tastes. So I am always very leery about trying out a new restaurant. I decided to take a chance on Happy Garden and I am so happy that I did. Their food is absolutely amazing. I ordered chicken fried rice and steamed dumplings and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely one of my new favorite places to eat.

Super underrated place, best Asian food in town! Honestly, we were very surprised at how good the food was and how MUCH there was given the price! Nobody could finish their food! They gave it out in take out containers so we could take it home, but there’s an option for glasses and plates too, but you’re gonna need the container because for like 8-12$ per person you get enough extremely tasty food to last the next 2 meals too! Best option on the menu in my opinion: Pu Pu Tray, that’s some crazy good stuff, and it’s just an appetizer! We’re gonna come here again for sure, also the waiter was so friendly and nice, everyone there is! Plenty of seating available and they accommodate large parties

Incredible place. The amount of food that you get for the price, WHILE remaining top notch in quality, is astounding. Do not sleep on this place! It is incredible. Best Chinese food I have ever had.

The food here was delicious! My husband ordered Kung Pao and I ordered Chicken lo mein. Both were piping hot and savory. The customer service was great, too.

For a place in Orange Va, I’m impressed. A hole in the wall, but worth it! I’m a Chinese food snob admittedly. I actually got pancakes with my moo sho pork, even plumb sauce! Teriyaki steak skewers were outstanding. Like I remember. Egg rolls were very crispy and delicious. Not much restaurant atmosphere but worth the take out. Chow mien was delicious. I hope for their success. I will order egg foo young next time. A true evaluation of a quality Chinese restaurant.

The restaurant looked like they didn't expect guests with one wall full of clutter. It seems they mostly have takeout. But the food was excellent and served quickly. I would go again.

Excellent crispy beef! The PuPu Platter was delicious as well! The service was great! They have more take out and less dine in, which is probably due to parking & the after effects of the pandemic. If you’re looking for good food you need to try it! Everything we had was fresh and made to order!
