Happy Garden — Restaurant in Clovis

General Review:

Time of dining: 1:00PM on Friday, May 24th

Food Review: I tried a bite of everything in the restaurant. The fish and shrimp dishes taste very off. All meat was cold. Heating appliance might be broken, repair or replacement is needed. I do not recommend anything that has to do with meat of any kind here. The fruit they served was old, despite me arriving an hour after opening. The broccoli was fine in a dish, though I like cold / luke-warm broccoli, so I do not mind personally. Noodles had too much oil for my taste, but that's to be expected, thus they were the best dish in the house. I have had to actively spit out about 25% of the food, for safety reasons.

Service Review: Service was fine. Do not order water as a drink here. It is tap, and tap water in this area can make you throw up if you aren't used to it. I puked in my mouth myself, I wish I requested soda. They took our plates twice, which is a good rate of service since we had about 2.5 plates each. No words are spoken other than a thank you. No greetings were available to us.

Atmosphere Review: The vibe was extremely judgmental for some reason. I was constantly getting stares from other people, no one had a sense of class or peace of mind. There was constant stress in the air from both staff and dining customers. There is no thought in general aesthetic here, you are better off getting food from a food truck, at least it will taste better, and be better feeling in general.

Notes: After coming home, I was struck with very bad food illness. It has lasted till even today. If it continues for 2 days longer, I will be suing. At least at the date I have given, I would not recommend feeding your children this food, as I'm deeming it unsafe and risky. I have travelled all over the United States of America over the past 10 years, and this has been one of the worst. I'm a large Asian cuisine fan, but I would rather have American School meatloaf than this. The price is cheap if you are sitting in. It is cheap for a reason.

My advice: Save your money and respect yourself more as a person. You will be paying for the food, as well as medicine to recover from the meal. Go somewhere else please. Traveling 30 miles by car will be more worth it than...

I haven't actually dined in here in quite some time so I can't say too much about the wait staff, but from prior experiences they were ok. Could've been a bit more cheerful when tending to customers but the basics like drink refills & clearing finished plates we're handled in a timely manner. Lately when I crave Chinese I just get dinner buffet takeout. They have a good variety of different, great tasting dishes & only a handful of times has a container on the buffet been low or empty. The Styrofoam container busts at the seams with the same foods each time I go because-albeit good food-$13.13 is a bit pricey. For that amount they should at least include one of those bigger styrofoam cups with lids so you can get dessert! And if by chance those little front tabs don't stay secured upon check out they charge an extra dollar which I think is ridiculous! The staff working the register however is the same - not very personable but not slacking on duties either. Overall, tho pricey it's a great place for good Chinese food in a calm, relaxing...

This place is terrible. The food is good when hot and fresh. But when it's been there a bit it's terrible. "Thats normal" why yes it is.

What isn't normal is when you try a stuffed mushroom and the cheese practically separates in your mouth. Or when the pork stuffed ones taste like spoiled meat.

The best part of the buffet I had tonight was the oranges as they were fresh.

The beef and broccoli was bad as the mushroom when the beef had tons of fat and instead of a mouthful of delicious food. You get fat and a over cooked broccoli.

I do not think I will ever go back short of a big change

I let a staff member know of an issue and was waved away and told "yeah thanks" whole watching youtube videos and folding napkins.

When i mentioned it to a second one they at least listened to me and said they would check.

The award they have inside shows when it was in it's prime as what it is now is a terrible shadow of what it once was...
