Happy Garden, a Chinese restaurant located in Lamar, Colorado, offers a diverse menu that features both hits and misses. The restaurant is known for dishes like Peanut Chicken, which one customer described as their absolute favorite, and the garlic shrimp, along with the combination pad thai. While the Pad Thai and Orange Chicken receive praise for their excellent taste and generous portions, some dishes, like the Podtay, have been noted as very greasy. The food is often delicious, especially for shrimp lovers, and many customers appreciate the great portion sizes. Enormous portions and clean inside are common praises, and every meal comes with a side salad. The chicken lo mein has been highly praised for its tenderness and melt-in-the-mouth quality, making it a standout dish. The sauces are often highlighted as excellent, and the food is fresh and very flavorful.
Happy Garden is recognized for its quick service and friendly, helpful staff. Although the payment system's long waiting time can be frustrating, overall customer service is considered welcoming. The quality and consistency of the food can vary; for example, the chicken pad Thai was found to lack flavor initially but improved with chile oil, and the orange chicken has been difficult to eat at times. The wonton soup is very flavorful, and the steamed dumplings receive high praise. Customers also enjoy the chicken and broccoli, and the Combo fried rice and Chicken, peppers and onions are popular choices. Overall, Happy Garden provides good Chinese food options for the small town, making it a great little find with potential for repeat visits.
