There are couple more restaurants that come close but Happiness Inn is definitely the best. Okay, it might not have the ambience or feel of a posh restaurant, but who cares! The food is divine and to die for! I have been 5-6 times so far, and every time it is has been full of Chinese people, which is always a good sign. Make sure you ask for the more comprehensive Chinese Menu, that's where the magic is ;-)

This restaurant would probably get a 3 for ambiance, but I am prepared to overlook that as the food was excellent. Had the salt and pepper squid to start, soft a hot slightly too salty, but tasty.

Even managed to enjoy the banana fritter to finish off with. Will definitely be back.

The food at Sky Chinese Cuisine was so good that we ended up coming here twice during our trip…read more Every dish tasted like it was prepared by a master Hong Kong chef. On our first visit, we ordered the pork intestine soup, which had an incredibly rich and flavorful broth packed with generous portions of meat and ingredients. The garlic string beans were another standout, with obvious wok hei and a perfect char that brought out their flavor. We also ordered the clay pot bean curd with lamb, and the combination of savory, comforting flavors made it one of our favorite dishes of the meal. The next day, we came back specifically for dim sum, and everything we tried was excellent. What makes this experience even more memorable is how we found the restaurant in the first place. We were originally planning to eat at Neptune's next door, but when we walked in, the owner asked if we had looked at the menu and whether we were sure we wanted to eat there. She explained that their flavors were geared more toward Western tastes, and when I asked where we could find authentic Chinese food, she immediately pointed us to Sky Chinese Cuisine. That recommendation turned out to be spot on. The biggest downside of this place is the ambiance. The interior feels dated and a bit run-down, and it certainly isn't somewhere you'd visit for the atmosphere. But once the food arrives, none of that matters. The quality, authenticity, and execution of the dishes more than make up for the lack of polish. If you're looking for outstanding Cantonese-style Chinese food rather than a fancy dining room, Sky Chinese Cuisine is absolutely worth the visit.

Good food, but lacking service…read more Not to the standard of decent US Chinese restaurants in the Boston, NY and SF areas that I usually visit. The people are nice enough but slow and the food is adequate but limited. I have been to this restaurant three or four times over the last few years. They do provide parking but it is tight, smallish spaces, but most people are careful. There has usually been a wait for our table, but the waiting area is comfortable. The restaurant tends to be a little crowded, however not to the extent that it is a real problem, but they do like to serve as many people as they can. The space allowed for our latest party of four was fine though. We had to ask them to remove a few unnecessary items but we had a lot of dishes too. Services is usually fairly leisurely, they aren't in any particular hurry to take orders or deliver food, so it isn't somewhere to go if you are in a hurry. The food is very good, UK Chinese food can tend to be a little ordinary and bland, this is actually a good example of decent Chinese food. The menus tend to run to more interesting items than the usual chicken with cashew nuts or sweet and sour pork. But in the end it's a slow and slightly expensive way to get pretty decent food. It isn't somewhere I'd recommend visiting several times a month for example. Special occasions should be avoided. We had the severe misfortune to book dinner there on New Year's Eve 2011/2012. The fixed banquet menu was fine, we'd probably have ordered something similar though maybe less of it. So far so good. But nobody mentioned that this otherwise fairly classy restaurant had decided that a New Year's Eve dinner banquet at forty pounds a head should include a disco and karaoke 'show'. So what should have been a quiet and pleasurable dinner with friends turned in to a shouting match. We couldn't talk and the staff couldn't hear us. One table was in to the whole thing, they had a bunch of kids with them and the whole crew was stomping around the open areas and singing very badly to the thumping beat of the karaoke machine. We quit after the starters, we just couldn't see any point in holding on for the main course, so we took seven boxes home with us instead. They also slapped on a service charge. I paid it because I just wanted to leave. If you decide to go there on a special occasions you should ask for the full details before you commit. I did try to contact the management to see what they had to say but they ignored my emails (I live 5,000 miles away).

The prawn crackers (my favourite!!) are amongst the best I've ever tasted and the food has always been fantastic. Whenever someone I know goes I ask them to bring a bag of prawn crackers back for me! The staff are always lovely and friendly and very accommodating to anyone who may have special dietry requirements. There is a huge choice of meals available on the menu but each time we go we order one of the banquets. This way everyone can choose a different dish and we each get to sample the different foods. Prices are not cheap but they are reasonable as the quality of the food has never disappointed!

By the time we left an hour later, there were only about 3 or 4 tables of customers. The restaurant is very appealing - dimly lit with lots of black and red, good for an evening. When it's too quiet in there, the main sound you get is the Chinese pop music piped through the system. While the servers were very friendly, they don't all speak English - we tried to ask one a question, but she utterly couldn't understand us no matter what we did. Which is fine, just makes it slightly difficult to communicate a request. We started with a soup each - hot and sour, and chicken with sweetcorn. Both had that slightly thick, glutinous texture that Chinese soups have. I liked the roast pork strips in the hot and sour soup, making that one our clear favorite. The other soup was very mild and quite sweet from the corn, but not a whole lot going on otherwise. Honestly, I wouldn't really bother with either of them - they're fine, but they've got nothing on a lovely Thai soup with coconut milk and lemongrass. The next starter was crispy aromatic duck served with these very thin pancakes, hoisin sauce, and vegetables. These were actually great - we assembled them like little tacos. Loved the flavor of the hoisin, the crunchy vegetables, and the savory duck all together. The pancakes are so thin and light, they aren't too filling. For the mains, we got stir fried chicken and prawns with vegetables and cashew nuts served in a shredded potato basket, and crispy aromatic lamb in peking garlic sauce. We got a side of stir-fried pak choi, and "special" fried rice - I think it had some prawns in it. Both dishes were tasty - the lamb was the clear favorite. Although the presentation of the chicken/prawns was really cool, it was a very mild dish without much distinctive taste - just meat and vegetables in a sticky, shiny Chinese sauce. The lamb had a much stronger flavor, and was indeed crispy, and just felt really unique to have lamb at a Chinese restaurant. The sauce here was sticky too, but it was red and loaded with chili flakes, and was actually pretty good. Pak choi and rice were nothing very special - shame, as I love fried rice normally, but this was pretty bland. It's really hit or miss here. I'd come back again, but most of the dishes we had were just that typical sticky, gloopy Chinese food type. Not that they don't taste nice, but I just don't find that texture very appealing. I'd say, try the more unique offerings on the menu for the best bets, and you might get a pleasant surprise.
