Double Happiness Restaurant

Update Nov 9/25: Ruby never ceases to amaze me! Just when you thought all wonton soups are the same, I just tried their small takeout portion and OMG this is the best wonton soup and there's no close second! I've never seen wontons so huge with so much meat in them! Even cutting the wonton in half I couldn't fit the half in my mouth! And the best part is that in addition to the pork wonton there were also chunks of sliced pork mixed in with the broth! The ratio of wonton and pork to soup base was easily 90% meat and 10% soup! Look at the photos I just added and see for yourself! ----------- Original review: We decided to come this restaurant for my birthday this past Monday on a recommendation from my neighbor. WOW we made a great choice! Not sure what some of the negative reviewers were expecting, but our entire experience was perfection! Dine-in: Yes we knew ahead of time this restaurant was mostly take-out, but they still have dine-in, and sure it's not a 5-star seating experience, but if that's what you want, then go pay 100x more an an upscale restaurant. Growing up in NYC, the dine-in experience here reminded me of almost every Chinese restaurant on Canal Street (Chinatown in lower Manhattan) - very authentic, where the focus is on the food and service, not the seating and decor, so we all actually enjoyed the atmosphere. Food: There were 4 of us (all very big eaters and starving) so we ordered the "Dinner for Four Q" special: 4 egg rolls, chicken fried rice, chicken Chow Mein, beef with broccoli, sweet & sour chicken balls and breaded jumbo shrimp PLUS the lemon chicken (highly recommended by my neighbor). WOW was the food outstanding! HUGE portions (we were using the other tables to place the food trays) and all very tasty and authentic! The chicken balls were 90-95% mostly tender juicy meat (not mostly breading like other places), and the lemon chicken was the best I've ever had (trust me, I've tried hundreds from other restaurants) and they did not hold back on the sauce - half the container box filled with it, of which was spectacular, not tasteless and overly tangy like other sauces)! We were all stuffed and every single dish we ordered was still at least half full! Today is Friday and I'm still enjoying left-overs! (since it was my b-day I took most of the leftovers ;p) Service: All the food came piping hot and fresh very fast! Ruby was a ray of sunshine full of joy, constantly smiling, making sure we had everything we needed, and even cracking a few jokes during our festivities. She even re-packaged all the leftovers in bags without us even having to ask! For our first time dining at this restaurant all of us meeting up coming from Toronto, London and Guelph for my birthday, we are so glad we chose this restaurant, and will all be making the trek back (individually and collectively) to this restaurant, as everything was PERFECTION! Thank you Ruby for the excellent food and service, and the fun and amazing experience - we will see you again soon!

Favorite spot of all time !

A big shout out to all the team at Double Happiness Acton. They consistently deliver great food, quick service and a “we’re glad to see you” welcome when you walk in the door. A lot of takeout food businesses could learn a few things from the consistent excellence of Double Happiness. Xiexie.

Called and place my order. The person said the food would be ready in 15 mins. My husband went about 20 mins later and waited over an hour for the food. When I called they had our order under a different number and was for a delivery. NEVER AGAIN.

Here for the great food and prices. The wait is short the portions are generous.

We just wanted a quiet place for a light lunch. We've lived in Acton for 17 years but hadn't eaten here. Well, we'll be back when we want somewhere low-key with good food.

The owner, Ruby, was a sweetheart.

When you see so many business close here in Acton, you think if they've withstood the test of time, they must be doing something right.

We just split an order of house fried rice. It was perfect and I look forward to trying more adventurous things off their menu.

The chef was also friendly to us.

Portion sizes were huge at this place! However the fried rice was a little bland and could use some work.

The store operates as take-out only. The owners will be very happy if you speak Chinese!

Awesome food, but way too expensive now. We barely got anything for $75. We've been ordering here for years, but we can't justify the cost for what you get. The system.
