When I first noticed this new Indian spot on Yelp I didn't realize it occupied the same location as…read morea very good Polish spot. In spite of good reviews and a second change in decor, that business was not able to survive very long. As I walked in to pick up my order I had mixed feelings. Sad about the fact that another very good and unique European restaurant was gone, and wondering about the future success of the new business. I noticed that the place had been painted and redecorated once again . This I guess could be called an Indian fusion house, offering many common dishes along with some I had not heard of. They also have Indo Chinese options. My first visit was so good that I thought I would return once more before reviewing. I tried the garlic naan and aloo paratha, both good to very good. The paratha was very thin and had a delicately spiced potato mixture inside, I wished there was more filling but enjoyed as it was. The chicken 65 tasted very good, but had too much sauce as I would have preferred the pieces of meat to be crispy. Chicken Radha was a rustic curry with about half of a bone in chicken. I loved this dish and the portion was 2 meals. Chicken biryani was equally tasty and came with very good raita. Chicken Manchow soup was new to me, think hot and sour soup and then add copious amounts of ginger and garlic. You have to like garlic to appreciate this soup, and I do and did! Service was friendly on both visits and orders were packed up very well, with additional onion, lime and peppers for the biryani and crispy noodles to top the soup with. A good friend went to dine in and had a great meal too, taking advantage of the all you can eat lunch Thali. I'm at about 4.5 stars for now....

Went in for lunch trying to find a good Chinese place in the area, this place was suggested by some…read moreco-workers. The place was clean, I called ahead so there wasn't a wait, but it was empty inside, except for take-out orders. It's nice that they offer an order online option and call ahead for take-out, especially for those who don't have a long lunch break. So I got the Singapore Mei Fun which was also reccommended. It was smaller than where I usually get Mei Fun from, but it was still very good. The price was a little higher than what I usually pay, but again I was satidfied with the food. It was nice and spicy, just how I like it. Also got a Shrimp Egg roll, which had half of a shrimp in it...kinda disappointing. Overall it was decent. I'd give it 3.5 stars but that's not an option. I'll probably return if I'm in the mood for Chinese, unless I find a better place around here. But for now, this is the best Chinese I've found in the area near work.

The mister took my order and chatted with me, and the misses served my plate of egg foo young, egg roll and fried rice, with a smile and gratitude. They have been in this location just off Brunswick Circle in Trenton, NJ for a few years, and seem to be making of go of it. The store is long and narrow, with a small dining room in front, two middle rooms that appear to be used by the family, and a rear kitchen. There is some distance between front and back, and they installed a bell for customers to use to catch their attention. I used it to get them to come out and accept my payment. The lunch was about par for the course in the metro area. All the owners must have gone to the same restaurant school, because most of the wonton houses have identical menus, and tastes. A Happy Family is no different, except that they deserve credit for making their fried rice without soup bouillon with dye to color the rice. This pile of grain looked natural, and was nicely chunky. The pancakes were full of veggies, wok fried, with a plastic cup of brown sauce on the side. It was decent. The egg roll was mostly cabbage with a few slivers of pork, but I didn't expect anything more. They have a confusing menu because of the similarity of the lunch specials, and combo offerings. Not clear what the differences are, except one costs less than $6, while the other comes in at $7.50. Not a big deal either way, but I like to know what I am looking at when ordering. A Happy Family is worth a visit if Chinois Americain is something you like. Your visit will do a lot to keep these folks pleased.

The customer service is regular there's not much you can do because of Covid. They don't allow people into the actual store anymore.

I think the make shift box to pay for your food is funny. I can't see the kitchen so i really don't know if it's clean or how they cook back there but the place has 4 stars so i assume it's clean and i don't actually see a rating in the door.

We enjoyed it very much and will definitely order it again! Shrimp rolls - excellent & crispy- we cut them in half so you get 1 baby shrimp in each end, put hot mustard, soy and duck sauce on each end. Yum! General Tsos Shrimp - we usually order general Tsos chicken but after reading reviews we decided to try the general Tso's shrimp and happy we did! We were impressed with the nice quantity of jumbo, thick battered and crispy shrimp. Normally I would be turned off if I read thick batter but it was crispy and delicious. Dragon and Phoenix- ordered for the first time and like the side by side combination of shrimp and chicken. The shrimp was not battered and was nice and slightly spicy. Crab Rangoon - nice and crispy Teriyaki beef sticks- my 5 year old loves them Always very fast delivery service!

The sesame chicken was pretty much little balls of fat and grizzle. When you cut them open, it looked disgusting we threw it out. No actual solid pieces of chicken.

It was gone before a single tip nor review could be written to record their existence for posterity. Judging from what followed, we're probably not missing much. Current management runs a depressing chop shop rice hall that does mostly takeout for this urban relic of a neighborhood. From experience, they really were surprised when anyone chose to eat there, and made no effort to make you comfortable. Their biggest sellers are deep fried chicken wings and dark fried rice. The King is dead. Long live the Best Food in Town (cough, cough)!

The other review on this page is either for a different place, or more likely, the earnest writer just didn't know where he/she was and picked the wrong restaurant out of the Yelp lineup. It is only a few blocks away. Not that it makes a difference as to the quality of the product. Best Food in Town is only what it says it is if living in a contrary universe, where bad is good and up is down. Maybe the joint on Woodson should file a complaint for a case of mistaken identity. Certainly, the Trenton P. D. could straighten this out. Be sure to look for the other page for this place with a accurate description of its operation.
