Happy Garden

Good food, added plus for sushi. Wish they would use online ordering services like GrubHub. Ordering by phone seems like a dated process at this point.

This place is the best Chinese-​Japanese take out in the area and i order from here at least once a week. It is located across from McDonald’s in a small store-​strip with parking right in front.
A previous review stated that «woman at the counter is very rude», which i believe is a misrepresentation. She can be brisk sometimes but i notice that is because they receive so many orders. She handles all the phone calls, checks all the orders before packing them up, takes care of side orders and makes sure the delivery driver know what orders are going were. If your not a regular you would never notice this and i have received a smile from her when they not extremely busy.
There was also one time when I was in a rushing, i pickup my order not noting that i forgot part it and was about to leave the parking lot, when suddenly her and her young daughter came running over and stopped me and handed me my forgot items with a smile.
The food is always good quality and well prepared. The kitchen is always clean. I always enjoy their Philly rolls and sweet potato rolls. Their fried rice and white rice is the best. And their wanton soup is not overly salty unlike many of the other Chinese take-​outs in the area. Their dumplings also come with a really yummy dipping sauce.
They do have 2 tables next to each other that you can use if you choose to eat there, but they are mainly used by customers waiting for their orders.
So, if you are looking for really good Chinese or Japanese take-​out in the area, then come here.

Love this place! I especially appreciate the fact that they deliver me sushi. The shrimp tempura rolls are my favorite. The sushi and wasabi always taste fresh and their delivery is very quick. I’m right over the border into new Britain and they still deliver to me.

The woman at the counter is very rude?! I noticed after patronizing the restaurant many times, that I never had napkins. I made it point to ask on my next visit, and she huffed her disapproval.
On another occasion, my friend and I called in or order for a lunch special. Turns out it was one minute after they stopped lunch… she coldly said simply «no!», and hung up. End of conversation?! Thinking back to previous visits, I’d remember her being brusk with customers who weren’t sure which dish to choose. It’s subtle, but her bad attitude is cold. A few local businesses have opted to buy from the two other Chinese restaurants which are less than a half mile away.

Fierce Berlin Chinese food rival Hunan Wok II is geographically closer to my home, so it’s taken some time to finally put my hand in the cookie jar here. Since I happened to pass it on the way home one Saturday evening, I figured I’d change things up.
The typical list of dinner specials is featured here — a pile of meat, a pile of rice, and an egg roll or soup for about $ 7.50, give or take a few cents depending on the dish.
Our main dishes were excellent. The lo mein was fattier than Susan Boyle’s diet on Easter Sunday. The chicken with garlic sauce was tangier than Bruno Tonioli’s reaction to a perfect celebrity dance. The egg rolls and wonton soup were as solid as Matthew McConaughey’s abdominals. But sadly, the fried rice was as limp and flavorless as Jennifer Aniston’s love life since 2005.
Despite the minor disappointment in the side dish, Happy Garden is a nice hole-​in-​the-​wall Chinese joint… though I still think I prefer Hunan Wok II by just a smidge.

Berlin’s «Happy Garden» is a typical Chinese takeout place with an add-​on «Japanese» menu including sushi etc. Both the the Chinese and Japanese dishes are surprisingly good: Sesame chicken combo, Bean Curd Szechuan style, Japanese-​restaurant-​style green salad with ginger dressing, miso soup, etc. etc. The sweet potato sushi is a standout, and the other vegetable sushis are nicely done; can’t vouch for the raw fish, but maybe it’s good. This is a very good takeout place, we’ve been getting stuff there for years and have never been disappointed.

Great portion sizes and tasty sushi. I have been going since they opened and their chicken and broccoli is to die for! Staff can sometimes be a bit stand off-​ish, but still the food is great. The sushi is by all means not gourmet, but its tasty and fair priced. Overall, decent take out!
