I had a urge for some Chinese food one night but wanted to try someplace new. I have become very fussy (annoyingly fussy). Most of the take-outs are good, with their own little spin, but I wanted and need more than just 'good' food. While it loked like your typical take-out shop from the outside, it was a very spacious restaurant inside. This shop is also very conveniently located in the H & M Mart shopping center. Very easy in and out off Hillside Avenue with plenty of available parking. I found "Happy Garden" not far from me and thought I'd give it a spin. My usual meal of Wonton-Egg drop mix and Roast Pork Egg Foo Young. Food was very good and very tasty. I enjoyed the soup and the Egg Foo Young. What they did differently here was to serve it with the sauce already on it. I am used to puring on myself for a little more control on my food. I would definitely return and would like some other dishes here. KUDOs to the team at Happy Garden. read more

Now my 2nd time ordering here. ABSOLUTELY 100% DELICIOUS dishes and the staff are nice, friendly and welcoming. THE FOOD IS NEXT LEVEL. NOT YOUR REGULAR CHINESE TAKE OUT. RESTAURANT QUALITY FOOD , THE PLACING OF THE DISHES ARE PURE RESTAURANTS STULE WITH UNIQUE PLATING. NUMEROUS AUTHENTIC ASIAN DISHES. They have WHOLE LOBSTER, WHOLE MUSSELS, BRISKET, SHORT RIBS AND MORE. They serve wine and beer. You can actually grab a drink while waiting for your food to go. A MUST HAVE PLACE AND DEFINITELY DINE IN FOR SURE TO GET MORE OF THE EXPERIENCE. Everything was so delicious. I had leftovers which I ate for breakfast today. Ate some of the Pu Pu Platter as snack and some of the lunch special about 30mins ago. And I'm having the rest as my late dinner. The words that come to mind on their dishes are DELICIOUS, FRESH, TENDER, CRISPY, MOIST and JUICY. At Happy Garden the prices are very reasonable and great portion size. Lunch specials are amazing. Lunch just for me I ordered a 3 lunch specials, 1 appetizer and 1 main dish. Add veggies for a couple xtra dollars to the fried rice. It's worth it. Fresh and hand cut veggies. The pork in the pork fried rice you get in every bite. All dishes are delivered hot that's why I always keep tipped 20%. * Lunch Special: BBQ Ribs with pork fried rice and hot&sour soup. Ribs are moist, sweet and juicy. Hot&Sour Soup has the perfect amount of variety of veggies, broth and just delicious. * Lunch Special: Fried Chicken Wings with pork fried rice and Wonton soup. 4 pieces of whole perfectly fried chicken wings. Crispy crunch, moist, juicy and flavorful. Wonton Soup was just perfect. Wonton thickness, fillings and broth was delicious. * Lunch Special: Beef mixed veggies with pork fried rice and egg drop soup. Great portion of thick sliced seasoned Beef which was so tender and flavorful. Hand cut veggies (cut baby corn, whole red peppers, broccoli, sliced mushrooms, celery, onions and carrots). * Pu Pu Platter. I was so shocked they had Pu Pu Platter. (2 Ribs, 2 Beef sticks, 2 Spring Rolls, 2 Large Shrimp Tempura, 2 Crab Rangoon and Shrimp Toast served on a bed a salad) 100 PERFECTION ON ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. All the textures and flavors you can imagine. TENDERNESS, CRISPY, MOIST, CRUNCHY and JUICY. * Singapore Noodles. You got a mixed of meat here. Chicken, pork and shrimp then the noodles and veggies. I'm telling you. So delicious and absolute perfection. The noodles were cooked just rice. Curry not over powering and everything was just so delicious. read more

Came in on a Sunday for lunch and the staff were so nice. The restaurant is so nice, clean and modern! They served us fresh crispy noodles with a side of duck sauce. The place settings were so impressive and classy and new! Everything we ordered was soooo good! The broth from the beef short ribs was so tasty and the meat was so tender! This might now be my favorite Chinese restaurant/takeout place. Oh and the portions are huge and freshly prepared! read more

Food is excellent. Great lunch specials with great choices. No issues at all with parking.

Came here on a whim after shopping at Hmart next door. I got a small order of bbq spare ribs and the cold sesame noodles. The girl who took my order up front was not friendly and I waited about 25 minutes while there was nobody in the restaurant at the time. Although the sesame noodles were good & had more than enough peanut butter sauce, the ribs were burnt & barely had any meat on them. I would come back again for the noodles and possibly try their sweet & sour pork combo or beef chow fun. read more

My mother and I were here this afternoon but only after going up and down Hillside Avenue until we made one last attempt and finally we found Happy Garden in a strip mall. We were greeted by a friendly waitress and the atmosphere was relaxing and quite pleasant. My mother had her BBQ spare-ribs with roast pork fried rice and I had chicken with broccoli also with roast pork fried rice, wonton soup and we each had ice cream. The service and food were very good and there was plenty of parking and once we found the restaurant we were very easily able to find our way back to Lakeville Road to Macy's to do our Christmas shopping. We will definitely return and probably order something else next time. It is definitely worth a second visit! read more

I was not so impressed with the food. All of the food was very oily and not so flavorful. The szechuan chicken was not so good and overpacked with green peppers. The shrimp with garlic sauce didn't taste very fresh and didn't have much flavor. The vegetable lo mein was dripping in oil. I'm very surprised by the positive reviews. I won't return. read more

Our first time here after seeing their anniversary announcement on Facebook. We always thought it was just a take out place! So glad we found them....great food and service. We appreciate a traditional Chinese menu rather than "Asian fusion" so this will be our go to place. read more

Ordered the sesame chicken and it came out visibly undercooked. The inside was pink and raw. Undercooked chicken is a serious health hazard and this was really alarming. Disappointed and will not be coming back. Would caution others to be careful. read more

Happy Garden - Raw C16. Sesame Chicken Combo Platter - Chinese Near Me - Williston Park, New York

Happy Garden was the best Chinese food in this area, but oh how the mighty have fallen. I had friend come over and I suggested Chinese food for dinner. We ordered from Happy Garden what a huge mistake. Something as basic as fried rice and they screwed that up. The rice was only half way cooked the onions were crunchy not soft as in any fried rice. The egg rolls are small like spring rolls and the Hot & Sour soup has nothing in it, one little piece of tofu no pork and no vegetables. I don't understand how you can screw up the basics; maybe it is because they're spending all their money opening other placed like Sushi Garden. I will be looking for a new Chinese Restaurant. Happy Garden get your act together. read more

Ordered early and had to wait my order was not ready have to wait 10 minutes for them to cook my dim sum Seems like a good popular place but maybe it's a little just too busy food seems very good pleasant atmosphere just have to wait And they forgot my utensils switch was not a good sign food is okay but the fact that they were so frazzled and not able to figure it that out was disappointing Overall very good read more

On my hunt for the best Chinese food in town, I tried Happy Garden. I ordered the shrimp Szechuan-style in tomato sauce, expecting something spicy with mixed veggies--but it turned out to be shrimp smothered in diced onions with no spice at all. A bit of a letdown since I love spicy food, but I'll definitely give them another try and order something more familiar, like shrimp with broccoli. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming, which I really appreciate. The staff were quiet, efficient, and quick with takeout orders. I'd consider dining in next time. read more

Very good. Food is fresh, it's very clean and service was good as well. Will definitely go back.

Delicious and affordable! Wide range of options (expansive menu) and easy takeout. Highly recommend!

The food is excellent! Portion sizes are a bit small for the prices, but the taste is very authentic and not too greasy. My order was takeout, but there are seats available for dining in. read more

exceptionally consistent food especially shrimp dishes. Best scallion pancakes on Long Island

Needed to pick up dinner quickly, I dropped into Happy Garden to get some takeout. Ambience: on the outside, this place looks like a typical Chinese takeout, especially the menu. Once I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised. It looked quite spacious and clean with a lot of tables for dine-in. Food: I ordered the usual for the kids: Chicken Broccoli - tender chicken with fresh broccoli. It was very tasty, but slightly oily. 3/5 General Tso's chicken - chunks of fried chicken coated in tangy sweet and spicy sauce. 4/5 Beef with string beans - the string beans had a crunchy and fresh snap to them. 4/5 TL/DR: one of the better Chinese takeouts in Long Island. read more

Ran into Happy Garden to grab a quick bite to eat before picking up my son from school. I didn't see shrimp and broccoli with curry sauce on the lunch menu but asked if they could make it cuz I was sorta craving it. The ladies who took my order happily said they could make it and I was more than appreciative. When I got to my car and opened my order I noticed it didn't really look like curry sauce but more like a garlic sauce and I thought that my order wasn't right. I tried it and it tasted like curry but just didn't look like the yellowish-brown curry I was used to having. The shrimp had some sort of fried coating on them which sort of dried the shrimp out after it was cooked. My favorite part of the dish was the broccoli because it had the best crunch to them, very good. read more

Consistently solid, never greasy or gloopy. Has been a go-to for more than 20 years. Would recommend the chicken soup with ho fun noodles and steamed chicken with broccoli. read more

Overall 3.5. Sesame noodles 4.5, pepper steak 3/5. The sesame sauce is flavorful with consistent texture. Would be back for sesame noodles again! read more

The food is great, fast service, one of my favorite Chinese food restaurants. Renovated the interior too so now there's a new ambiance.

The food is excellent. The service is excellent. I will recommend this restaurant and the environment is great environment.

I go to Kung Fu Tea and H Mart in same plaza. I had a shrimp roll and egg roll. The shrimp roll wasn't at all impressive. I felt the same way about egg roll. After being in another country for few months and having clean food even Chinese, it's hard to just eat crap read more

The food is fabulous, always made to your order. The service is spot on too. You can't go wrong with this restaurant

Mostly copied from 1st egg roll review of New China. This one is for Happy garden on Hillside Ave. in ewilliston Park, Nassau county, NY. NOTE For ALL REVIEWS: You may already realize that this is simply my opinion ( and what a simple opinion it is:). What I feel is tasty or good for an egg roll, may differ completely from your view/opinion. So take it for what it's worth. It is what it is to whomever it is. I'm sure the owners/cooks frown upon anything less than a 4 star review so please don't get upset with me if MY opinion doesn't suit you or your product. All you need to do is make a better product -:) As if being a pizza expert wasn't enough, I'm now a self-appointed Egg-roll expert, sampling egg rolls from around town. Today, "Egg-roll Monday" I bought egg-rolls from three different Chinese food take out restaurants. UPDATE: I found my phone but it needs to be charged so I cannot even take photos to share ( though I still am unable to upload them think i need to do a mac update, or I'm just seriously techno-challenged, idk) so my words will have to suffice for now - once again:) Happy Garden's egg-rolls @ $1.75+tax are the cheapest of the 3 places bought from today, yet they DO contain noticeable pork, making them more desirable than New China's egg rolls ( in my 1st egg roll review today ) for those of us who don't mind some piggy meat included in our egg rolls. These, too, were a bit on the thin side and appeared "clean" as if fried in new/clean oil. They were a bit soft and taste was good. I've learned it's hard to tell the difference between a tasty egg roll and a not-so-tasty-egg roll since they have the same ingredients. BUT, I still do not see nor do I taste any egg:) As for its overall enjoyment/taste, I've had much better egg rolls. It was soft-crunchy though and I did enjoy it. I'd buy their egg rolls again. This was the 2nd time I've bought egg rolls at Happy Garden. One thing I though was kind of funny was the way the young lady working there answered me when I asked if they were still not making indoor dining available. She commented that she ws the only one working up front and wouldn't be able to do it all lol Anyways.... As egg rolls go, I'm giving this place a 3 out of 5 because they appeared to be made in clean fresh oil and the young lady was friendly in taking the order and responding to my question. It did take a bit long, I felt, for the egg rolls to be given to me from the time she went to place the order. BUT, maybe I was just hungry and needed my egg rolls - badly, though I was Happy to get them and walk out of the Garden to head home to eat. read more

I've been living in Williston Park for almost 10 years and am a fan of Chinese take-out. After all those years I finally decided to try Happy Garden. Well I'd give it 6 stars if it were offered. In other words the food was great, the portion and price was highly acceptable. Now I won't have to decide where to order my Gen. Tso chicken any more. Happy Garden is on my radar. Just one more thought the dining in ambiance was original and pleasant and someplace where I would patronize. Thanks Happy Garden. Ron S. read more

Best Chinese in town. Been going there for 2 decades and I love them. Family owned and quality every time!!

This was our first time there. We went for lunch today, it was a great experience. The place presents itself well, clean, modern and you know care is taken keeping it clean. Service was spot on. We ordered General Tsao tofu and broccoli in garlic sauce - both were excellent. Highly recommend! read more

we have been ordering from Happy Garden for years and years and loving all the food. We ordered food that we've had many times. It was completely different. Looked and tasted different and was absolutely awful. When I called and asked if they had a new chef or under new management they said no but don't believe them. Now I have to find another place. read more

Go-to place for take out and delivery. Would not go out here for dine in because as other reviews have mentioned the food isn't amazing, but they get 4 stars because it's exactly what you would expect from take out!!! Deliveries come within 20 minutes for an order with one to two entrees, I've gotten delivery within 10 minutes at times. If you have a huge order it'll most likely take longer. But they consistently come quick. Get the shrimp and broccoli with garlic sauce, or any other meat. Garlic sauce is bueno. Other than that, I've tried the Thai basil chicken and chicken satay. Not impressive, but makes sense, given that they are not a Thai restaurant. Not something you'd expect to buy from Chinese take out, but I like the french fries. read more

After ordering from here a few times, I don't think I would recommend this place. The food is a little too greasy, and the quality has gone downhill. Their bubble tea tastes horrible. I've been sticking to the Chicken Lo Mein, it's not bad. But after trying their Lobster Lo Mein, it didn't give me a pleasant feeling in my stomach. The man who delivers my food is nice, but the woman in the restaurant is rude. The staff doesn't say much and the service is meh. There are definitely better places to get Chinese food from. Overall the quality of this restaurant is mediocre... I'd bring my money somewhere else. read more
