Dong Happy Garden — Restaurant in Town of Cortlandt

I have been going here ever since I was a kid and just realized that I never left a review. When I used to work in Ossining, my coworkers would always order Chinese from here for lunch. The food would always come quickly and fresh, and I never had any issues with the order or the quality.

Normally, I get General Tso's chicken at every Chinese restaurant I go to because it is my favorite dish. I have tried that dish at possibly 100+ Chinese restaurants, and I definitely have to say that none of them compares to Dong Happy Garden's. Dong Happy Garden's General Tso's chicken is the best I ever had from any restaurant, hands down. The chicken is crispy, the sauce is tangy, and it has the perfect amount of flavor. I don't know what they do differently from other restaurants, but theirs actually tastes like real chicken, whereas other restaurants' are always soggy or the sauce is too soupy.

Now that I no longer live in the area, I am always craving the Chinese food from here because I can't get the same quality and taste anywhere else. Whenever I am back in town, I always make sure to stop by and get something. The lady working at the counter is always super friendly!

I would highly recommend you try the food from here. You won't be...

I am still looking for a replacement for the now closed Buchanan's Lee Terrace. Unfortunately this place is no match. It's standard Chinese Takeout. Big portions but that's about it. I always go for a Hot-Sour Soup and a portion of Veggie Fried Rice. The Soup hat way too much Soy Sauce and it did not taste good, the Veggie Rice had no chance to reach my taste buds again after having a spoonful of that soup. Not worth for me to make the trip to Croton. Remember dear reader: This review is only about those two dishes I had (my favorites) and I was disappointed. Other dishes are probably delicious. So please...

If you haven't eaten food here, you're missing out. I have been eating food from here since I was 5 years old. Now in my mid 20's I still come back as often as I can to eat their delicious food even if I have to make a long drive.

The lady at the front knows my family's orders by heart and always greets us with a smile. She has catered to me and my family's picky needs in the food. We don't get Chinese food from anywhere except here. Great service, great food, quick and affordable. Thank you for the wonderful food memories you have given me and my family all these years! You won't be...
