    We love Happy Garden. It's our go-to spot for Chinese takeout in Chico. Their complete dinner has pretty much everything you'd want if you're looking for an assortment in your meal. Appetizers, main dish, rice, chow mein, and soup! They have great customer service, they are so fast to prepare a takeout order, and they are always so nice!

    I had the lunch portion of kung pao chicken. It was not good. I ate to soup and spring roll but the chicken was awful. All dark meat attached with skin and fibers.

    Not Kung Pao, was Bland Pao chicken. No szechuan peppers or seasoning.

    I used to love eating Happy Garden, but our recent " take out" was a bummer! We ordered 2 Kung Pao Chicken dinners, to go being super fans of Kung Pao Chicken and eating it for years from Happy Garden. 10 miles to get home, we open up our dinners, and the taste is bla-bland. No spice, no Szechaun peppers present, it was plain chicken, with NO snap like we love from Happy Garden. I was clear with the lady, I think the cook messed up! Our orders from Panda have way better flavor! $55 for 3 plain chicken dishes with chow mein was very disappointing. Unfortunately our excitement to eat at, or take out from Happy Garden has dimished.

    Nice and quiet environment. Waiter was very friendly and never let a empty plate stay on the table. I got the combo A and the chow mein was really good! The fried rice and egg roll needed more flavor. I got egg flower soup with the combo and it was very good as well. I would come again.

    Chicken Chow Mein and Egg Roll

    the food is always amazing here; i was so happy to see it's finally on doordash! ordered chicken chow mein and two egg rolls to go and it was so good. stayed hot until i ate it at home, which is always a win. the people are always so kind. i love this restaurant!

    I was charging my rental Tesla in the parking lot, and Starbucks had a long line. I saw this place…read morehad Boba tea, which I enjoy, so I came in here instead. The place is clean and everybody was friendly. The food is on a cafeteria type line, you just pick out what you want, and then they serve it to you and you take it to your table. I can't speak to the main dishes, themselves, as I just came in for a Boba tea. I did see that they also had wontons on the line, so I also did an order of wontons as a snack. The wontons were wonderfully crispy, and not greasy at all, and they were very generous with the portion. I liked the sweet-and-sour sauce, it was sweet and just a little bit tangy. I had the Matcha milk tea, it was creamy and had a wonderful flavor. It's hard to describe the flavor of Matcha, but I do like it. It was a bit sweet, and just a bit savory. They asked me if I wanted the Boba pearls, which I did because I like them a lot, and they were very generous with them. A milk tea and an order of wontons was only nine bucks. Extremely reasonable. Thank you for a nice stop.

He was loud and was making odd gestures. The staff seemed unaware. We ended up asking for our food to go. I was not offered any compensation after I explained the situation. The curry was delicious and the fresh rolls were great. I will never eat there again. The inexperienced staff had no idea how to handle the situation.

With how busy it was with diners, our…read moreserver still made time to check on us, ask if we wanted soup and rice, and brought us our bill in a timely manner. Watching the cooks hard at work and mastery of Mongolian bbq was like a well-oiled machine. Watching the cooks and seeing staff continuously refill the food, toppings, and sauce containers for customers, while also putting out more bowls and trays, was like watching a flawless production! As for our food, the price of lunch is bang for buck because of how much you can fill your Mongolian BBQ bowl and the soup, rice, and addicting wonton chips with sweet and sour dipping sauce that come with your lunch meal. I gave 4 stars because the garlic and potato soup was super salty. My friends and I agreed this soup would have been perfect if it didn't taste like salt was poured into it. In addition, watching the cross contamination of some diners touching the raw meat in their bowls then touching the next tongs, like for the veggies, was a big health risk concern for me. With this, I keep in mind that I don't even know if this can be prevented due to the way Mongolian BBQ works with customers serving themselves, like a buffet. I understand it would be hard to control and prevent the cross contamination from touching the meat, especially as customers try to make room in their big bowl. In the end, the number of people dining, then seeing more people entering, shows how popular Hula's is!

    My first time coming here and it was a great success! I will say, filling the bowl with ingredients…read moredid give me anxiety, and it was very messy, BUT the food was delicious. Our server was very accommodating. The inside does kind of give buffet vibes, but the food is great!

Broth was really good, and it kept warm from the flame on the bottom.
