Happy Garden — Restaurant in England

I'm not really sure where to start. But not good.

Can't say I enjoyed it at all.

The ribs were like eating a river of fat. I mean, seriously, no meat, just fat and dripping oil.

Prawn toast was ok. The rolls ..meh

The fryed rice had bits in it I can't explain... and looked more like boiled than fryed .

The seafood was ok until we got to the squid, which was dreadful. Had to be spat out. Honestly, if you're going to charge a premium,..use fresh.

Cantonese sauce that to be fair possibly would taste better out of the bottle it came in.

Duck, that was burnt.. and where not burnt again... more fat

It was just very expensive for food you would expect to be and probably better from a takeaway.

Look, I don't give bad feedback lightly. In fact, I really don't like to do it at all, but I just can't in good conscience give a good review this time. Sorry

And yes, I accept that it could be a one-off. The last time I came here it was great but this visit was terrible.

Sorry. But 86 pounds on a meal that I really did not enjoy.

Didn't want to make a scene, had kids with me , so I just paid it.. then again, at no point during the meal, did anyone even...

The food is not great. This is the most Western Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten in and in no way authentic; It would be laughed out of China Town. I wouldn’t be surprised if their sweet and sour sauce is from Uncle Ben’s jars. The menu is confusing. We ordered a variety of dishes. The duck dish had batter which was disgusting. The pile left in the photo is of the aforementioned batter. Sadly the meat itself was over cooked. None of us were impressed; we cannot believe this has 4 stars. On a plus, the place is very clean and the staff are attentive and friendly. If they re-train their cooks [or chefs if they have them] then this place could...

Pleasantly surprised. Wasnt expecting much from this out of town restaurant but i really fancied a Chinese meal and there are few open on Monday's... but this was. Anyway, glad i came.. food was lovely and tasted really fresh. Portion sizes were very generous and also reasonably priced. Staff were welcoming and attentive and not too in your face... all in all great little restaurant which i will definitely visit again next time i am in the area. One small criticism, one of my favourite dishes is black pepper sauce but this was only available on the most expensive sizzling...
