As someone else has said, only given one star due to lovely lady on till.! Yung chow special rice tasteless, house special mixed sweet and sour worst ever eaten . Pork tough and inedible, chewy tough chicken, the one prawn was ok. No longer a restaurant ( this is my third takeaway from here, getting worse each time) not pleasant at all! Inside place very off-putting as well, looks grubby, bikes inside etc

Only gave more than 1 star because the lady on the till was lovelySalt and pepper chips were literally fries with some chillis chucked underneathCurry and black bean sauces were stupidly hot, none of us could eat them, and egg fried rice's were awful like packet stuff, no flavour, visiting family so didn't know where to go, definitely won't touch again

Picture this... Valentines day, no dates, but 3 hungry boys, with ambitions of becoming pool world champions.They need fueling, desperately. A Chinese on the mind...In steps Happy Garden, a beacon of hope in these main characters story lines.Chicken...succulent.Rice...fluffy.Prawn crackers...on the house.What a night, our beds may not be full, but our tummies most definitely are.Do recommend to a friend or two, and to those reading this Google review.

Always order from Happy Garden via the website and not a delivery service. Today the extra prawn crackers I ordered for for my daughter’s birthday were missing. They were so helpful and apologetic when I called and they dropped 3 bags over to make up for the mistake. One very happy birthday girl. They also called to make sure we’d got them and we were happy. Can’t fault their customer service and their food is great too.

Thought I'd try something new, wish I hadn't. Ordered chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken balls.Rice tasted like uncle bens microwave rice which I cant stand, it was slodgey in places and other mouthfuls were stuck together and burnt.. chicken balls were over cooked and burnt , and the sauce tasted like fruit jam. Really reluctant to eat it, and the worst I've ever had. Never put a bad review for food before , but won't be ordering again. Will stick to my usual . Not happy !

Happy garden is a great and lovely place for people to explore and taste Chinese food. The service there was excellent and they will greet you with a smile. My food that I would recommend is the famous chow Ming,it is noodles with spices and lot of thing in it. Another thing you should eat is the beef fried rice because it has great taste and the grilled beef is so tasty. You should go to happy garden.Vegetarian options: There is also chop suey which is full of vegetables

Salt and Pepper chips weren't the standard - they were skinny fries, with chillis being the only veg and no seasoning. Salt and Pepper Tofu was the moist fatty type of tofu, it had some more veg and seasoning, but was the totally wrong texture to what other local Chinese's do (Either the triangular firm tofu or deep fried puffs). Didn't eat the tofu and the chips were disappointing, but maybe it's just not to my groups preference.Delivery was good.
Ordered a takeaway Monday night, Tuesday early hours myself and my son woke up with horrendous food poisoning, a few days later I discovered my neighbour had food poisoning two weeks prior. Will never order from here again.

Amazing beef and black bean sauce, crispy chilli beef and Singapore chow mein, the first time iv tried here and will now be my regular! The best Chinese iv had in years

The surroundings on the lower High Street are a tad run down but we only used it as a Takeaway. And for that it was really good, and the price was considerably lower than others with a more upmarket image.

Pulling up outside was a bit off putting but the 5 star hygiene award on the door persuaded me to go in and I’m glad I did. Best spare ribs in Peking sauce I’ve enjoyed in a long time. Sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style was outstanding and the Chow Mein was nice although the beef was a tad rubbery. All in all an excellent feast at a sensible price. Well done and thank you

Awful experience, food cold, special fried rice missing, Uber refunded price of rice, curry was live a soup. Won’t use again and will warn family and friends.
