Double Happiness Restaurant — Restaurant in Halton Hills

We decided to come this restaurant for my birthday this past Monday on a recommendation from my neighbor. WOW we made a great choice!

Not sure what some of the negative reviewers were expecting, but our entire experience was perfection!

Dine-in: Yes we knew ahead of time this restaurant was mostly take-out, but they still have dine-in, and sure it's not a 5-star seating experience, but if that's what you want, then go pay 100x more an an upscale restaurant. Growing up in NYC, the dine-in experience here reminded me of almost every Chinese restaurant on Canal Street (Chinatown in lower Manhattan) - very authentic, where the focus is on the food and service, not the seating and decor, so we all actually enjoyed the atmosphere.

Food: There were 4 of us (all very big eaters and starving) so we ordered the "Dinner for Four Q" special: 4 egg rolls, chicken fried rice, chicken Chow Mein, beef with broccoli, sweet & sour chicken balls and breaded jumbo shrimp PLUS the lemon chicken (highly recommended by my neighbor). WOW was the food outstanding! HUGE portions (we were using the other tables to place the food trays) and all very tasty and authentic! The chicken balls were 90-95% mostly tender juicy meat (not mostly breading like other places), and the lemon chicken was the best I've ever had (trust me, I've tried hundreds from other restaurants) and they did not hold back on the sauce - half the container box filled with it, of which was spectacular, not tasteless and overly tangy like other sauces)! We were all stuffed and every single dish we ordered was still at least half full! Today is Friday and I'm still enjoying left-overs! (since it was my b-day I took most of the leftovers ;p)

Service: All the food came piping hot and fresh very fast! Ruby was a ray of sunshine full of joy, constantly smiling, making sure we had everything we needed, and even cracking a few jokes during our festivities. She even re-packaged all the leftovers in bags without us even having to ask!

For our first time dining at this restaurant all of us meeting up coming from Toronto, London and Guelph for my birthday, we are so glad we chose this restaurant, and will all be making the trek back (individually and collectively) to this restaurant, as everything was PERFECTION!

Thank you Ruby for the excellent food and service, and the fun and amazing experience - we will see...

We just wanted a quiet place for a light lunch. We've lived in Acton for 17 years but hadn't eaten here. Well, we'll be back when we want somewhere low-key with good food.

The owner, Ruby, was a sweetheart.

When you see so many business close here in Acton, you think if they've withstood the test of time, they must be doing something right.

We just split an order of house fried rice. It was perfect and I look forward to trying more adventurous things off their menu.

The chef was also...
