I feel bad writing a review because you never know what a business is going through or those working in those conditions. But poor condition shouldn't be where food is being prepared. The food tasted and looked old and gel like sauce, I tossed majority of the order away and only ate the rice it came with. I hope they find better management. It's not the workers fault but definitely no one should consume food from here. I should have read the reviews before ordering. They have bad reviews about the same complaints going back 8 years and nothing has changed. I'm new to the area, and shocked by the conditions.

We always get the same thing because we're not familiar with all the dishes. If they could describe the dishes we would try other things.

Always order take out and coming from NY this is the most NY Chinese food I've found in the area. The food had flavor and they put a ton of duck sauce. I'm leaving this review after I've had take out at least 10 times over the past 6 months. Will 100% order take out again.

What happened to the egg rolls? They're so small now.

This place is my favorite, the fried wontons are so delicious, as well as everything else we order, general t , chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, golden fingers,cooked perfectly and always arrives hot!

Pork lo mein was similar to canned spaghetti, was very wet and bland . The General tsos chicken was like eating buffalo wings , tasted like they used a regular hot sauce/sweet and sour mix or something. The chicken chow mein had literally 3 pieces of chicken. The garlic beef was bland. I got 2 combo platters and 2 meals and only got 1 extra small size white rice…white rice is probably the least expensive thing for them and they can’t even give you a large container of it with all that food! Portion sizes are good otherwise (besides the white rice).

Always my first choice when it comes to Chinese food. A very wide selection at a very reasonable price (always nice when your feeding a family) with the freshest ingredients and the most Krisp flavors. Nice for a Saturday night home with the family for dinner and a movie.
Excellent Chinese food, easily the best in the Watertown area.

This place has gone downhill. Portions are smaller. And last 3 times I ordered here something has been missing from my order. Have been eating here for 30 years. You have lost a customer for life.

We have been coming to happy garden for over 20 years. It's a small mom and pop Chinese takeout store. Great service, great food. The restaurant portion used to be open a long time ago but not for a few years, especially now in the post COVID world that we live in. 5 stars for consistently good food, we have since moved from Watertown but we drive 30 minutes to keep getting the great food that they serve. I highly recommend.
