Happy Garden Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Clifton

Absolutely the worst place to eat now !!!! I was very disgusted by the quality of food 4/20/23. Sweet lady however the husband is a jerk and a half not only was I over charged for the meal but the husband feels entitled to over charge as compensation for a tip. This is the fourth time I’ve had to deal with this man and since I don’t speak Chinese hes always mumbling something in Chinese. Not sure if it’s good either , he gives me the food and when I open it it’s all full of extra grease and darker than it should be on the fried chicken, this was a nightmare and will be the las time I visit this place. Not only am I Clifton native and had eaten here before growing up with the old owners who sold the place to these new owners and wow seriously has to be the worst experience I’ve had in a while. I will never ever eat here ever , the taste was horrible, I’m still disgusted. I advise everyone to please reconsider this place, just awful man and poor lady listens too the husband and made my food worse and probably on purpose. Watch out for the husband he’s a sick head and yells at you if you don’t tip when a tip is optional in most cases. Customer should tip what he feels now be demanded for more money outside my house, unprofessional service and poor service overall. This place is a nightmare ....

The ONLY Chinese take-out place I go to. I've tried all the other local eateries and this one is by far the best. The food is consistently delicious, the staff is friendly, and they always greet you with a smile. They also know how to keep customers happy with little things like never forgetting the fortune cookies and offering a free can of soda with most orders. If your order is large enough they give you a free 2L bottle. It's small tokens of gratitude to their customers that keep me coming back.

If you stop in, try the General Tso's chicken combo, egg foo young, and shrimp toast. Just how Chinese should be.

I have been coming here for 20+ years, and for many years considered this to be among the best Chinese takeout places to visit. I always got good value for my orders. However, since the pandemic, the prices have skyrocketed, and sadly the quality of service as well. It took a long time after the mask mandate to be lifted for them to start letting people in without a mask, and they have just become more impersonable with their service. It's now just a cheerless transaction, which is sad. I used to come here often, but now my visits will be less and...
