Authentic Americanized Chinese food; generous portions and decent prices. Ambiance interior was pretty clean. Helpful nice staff and a few spoke mandarin. Service was incredibly great and food arrived instantly. Szechuan Mongolian Beef with rice and vegetables were super tender. Hot tea came out fresh and Steamed bbq pork buns and sesame balls were the best! Certainly dining here again when I visit Chico, CA eventually. read more

I hadn't been here in 20+ years and am glad we came in! Flavors are great and the lunch special was a perfect addition to the Mu Shu Pork. Shared lunch with mom Pork fried rice was delicious and perfect Chicken chow mein - was pretty good I added some chili to it for a little more flavor Egg roll is standard but good and hot Egg flower soup was good and veggies had a nice crunch which was great because I don't like soggy!! Mu Shu Pork was the hit for me! I will try it again for sure. Loved the flavors and crunch of the cabbage and mix of veggies! I rolled one and added some of the hosin sauce they gave! It was delicious and hard to stop eating!!! We will be back good fresh flavors and reliable! Decent prices too!! read more

Fully obsessed with their doughy yet crispy delicious pork potstickers. Sometimes I will get 4 orders just so I can have them in the fridge. They are also great to bring to parties. I hope they never change. read more

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! read more

The food was delicious! The lunch special had so much food. The crab and cream cheese wontons were absolutely amazing. The potstickers are handmade and a very good size but the flavor was wonderful with the sauce. We loved the Hunan chicken! And the sweet and sour dishes were great. The food was wonderful, but our waitress made our visit. So friendly and kind to our family. We will recommend this 1000% times over again! The name fits because we definitely left happy! read more

Terrible and disgusting. Had me gagging at every bite. I got the chicken cow mein and all the chicken pieces were squishy/veiny and Noodles were flavorless read more

FOODIES BEWARE!!!! FOOD POISONING LURKS HERE! I had just got into town from a long day of work, It was my ONLY meal of the day, So it's VERY easy to point the fingers when I ended up with "Runny Doo" & Throwing up for hours! I do not recommend eating here, I recommend for the owners a better process for food handling! Unacceptable! And being honest, For $19 of a combo, The food was NOT good! read more

I love Happy Garden! Delicious Chinese food. Order is always correct and always fresh. Great staff.

Great food, generous amount, fast, friendly service. Reasonably price. My favorite Chinese restaurant in Chico.

We ordered dinner from happy garden yesterday through DoorDash. We were both sick. We went to my grandson's birthday party, and I could barely pay attention because I needed to go to the bathroom so much We called them let them know what was going on. I'm really disappointed. It's hard to find a good Chinese restaurant in Chico. Rice bowl has failed and now happy garden has failed. read more

I have been going to Happy Garden Restaurant for years. I especially love their pot stickers, hot and sour soup, Mongolian beef and walnut shrimp. The portions are large, the takeout service is quick and dependable, and everyone is very polite. Note that I always do takeout so don't have any input on table service. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

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. read more

Happy Garden Restaurant - Not Kung Pao, was Bland Pao chicken. No szechuan peppers or seasoning. - Chinese Near Me - Chico, California

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. read more

Love this place. Food is great and always fresh. Staff are friendly and always polite. I placed a pickup order recently and the lady in front of me was being rude for no reason.

I've been to Happy Garden so many times over the past two decades, and I'm never disappointed. The food is good, it comes fast, and in huge portions. The dry braised chicken is my go to, but everything is good! Thanks Happy Garden! read more

Happy Garden Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Chico, California

The food was ok, the beef in my pepper beef was tough and had some gristle. I was very surprised from reading the reviews about how great the staff is. Our server must have been having a bad day. She was rude, short and when we asked for hot tea she became even more irritated. We won't be back. read more

This food is always great, and you get plenty of it. Makes 2 meals for me. It's made fresh and hot. Full of meat and vegetables smothered in a great sauce. read more

Food was nothing special - kind of oily. But was available as promised for take out. Restaurant was busy.

THE best Chinese food in Chico. Always friendly staff and quick service. The lemon chicken is a favorite and any of the chow mein is outstanding. Always prepared with the same flavor every time. Been eating here for over 20 years and always hits the spot! read more

The Happy Garden has fresh hot food. Great sweet n sour pork and fried rice. Large portions too.

I'm sorry I hate being this person, but this was the most aweful chineese food I have eaten in a very long time. For the same price as other places in town it was super skimpy and just not of great quality. I've tried going back here 3 times now in the past 10 years do to similar issues and everytime it gets worse. Sorry Happy Garden, but I will never comeback into your restaurant. You live and you learn im just saying, fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice shame on you, fool me a third time... I'm just a dumb ass. Only trying to give proper feed back for those looking to find a new/good spot. I will say however, the staff were very friendly, helpful and just overall amazing people! read more

I think I've tried every Chinese Restaurant in Chico. Nothing compares to Happy Garden. The Peking Duck is delicious. Mongolian Beef is Superb. I hesitated to give this review because parking is limited and want a place to park. Love everything about this place. read more

Came here since it was 3rd on Chicos "BEST OF CHICO" top 3. Got there a little bit before closing. The owner wasn't very friendly, and she really rushed us. Would have preferred her to tell us that we were too late. Food was ok...Was hoping to be more impressed. We did the special that came with multiple items. No major complaints, but also nothing to rave about. Definitely plan to try other Chinese food locations prior to coming back here. read more

Fast, friendly, and cheap and near my work, but the cashew chicken and beef and broccoli, at least, are very bland and they only serve Pepsi products. Wish there was better Chinese options nearby. read more

For me, what makes for nice Chinese-American food is the vegetables. Happy Garden uses fresh veggies, not overcooked, and it makes all the difference! The hot and sour soup is very good, and the wor wonton is a near second. Also, the service was friendly and thoughtful. I'll be back! read more

Great local spot! The food is fresh and delicious. The portions are generous. Each time I come here the quality of the food is always consistent and the staff is friendly and courteous. read more

Absolutely love their food. Service is great, everyone is super friendly. Definitely my go to place for Chinese food. Highly recommended!

Great food and wonderful, friendly service and atmosphere. My wife and I and occasionally our children will eat there and we always come home with lots of extra food because the servings are huge. read more

We had a great experience here! Atmosphere was typical of a Chinese restaurant, but the service was so wonderful. All of the staff we interacted with were very kind, cheerful, and patient. They didn't mind questions, made great recommendations, and altered dishes to preference without a fuss. We ordered the Mongolian fish and Chow Fun. They were both SO good. Hot, fresh, and super flavorful, I will be dreaming of this meal for months to come! I have already started looking up recipes for how to make Mongolian fish at home because sadly we do not live in Chico. If I am ever passing by again, I will be sure to come back. read more

Happy Garden Restaurant - Beef Chow Fun - Chinese Near Me - Chico, California

Excellent food and service. Best in Chico. Very professional kind, people. Nice ambiance as well.

I have to give it at least two stars for large portions and decent price. Besides that, it wasn't worth it and I won't be returning. I ordered for pick up on the phone and was told exactly what I was getting as I have some dietary restrictions and allergies. The egg fried rice was very dry and barely any veggies, the chow mein was very bland and the hot garlic chicken, had no spice, a lot of other vegetables I asked not to have and none I was I told were included. It was basically msg soup with about four to five small strips of chewy chicken. If you want a $15 Chinese lunch, go to Panda Express or if you want better quality, I would opt for other restaurants in the area. Not trying to write a terrible review, just very disappointed and ended up throwing it all out. read more
