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.

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.

I have to drive down here some days for work and this is the only place I’ll eat. I love the prices. Being from New Haven we pay a lot for Chinese. My shrimp and broccoli is 10.00 it’s always fresh and hit the spot for me. They never have a attitude or bad customer service

Welp I had initially left a good review but since Tonight they messed up my order then instead of fixing it tried to gaslight us that we had ordered wrong on purpose for some reason I can confidently say we will not be returning. I sat next to my husband while he ordered and reiterated twice what we wanted so I know for a fact he ordered correctly. It's too bad they're dishonest cuz the food is usually good

Golden Dragon is owned and operated by a Chinese family. The restaurant is beautiful with Chinese decorations and several beautiful fish tanks with exotic fish. The food is fantastic with very fresh vegetables and very tasty sauces. The service is good. They serve a lot of take-out and they deliver, but eating in is a peaceful and lovely experience.

Honestly some of the best Chinese I've ever had. You will be surprised the flavor is great and it is not like fast Chinese takeout where everything is bland they really have a lot of flavor to their dishes, we will be back! Thanks for making such great food!

The family is so kind, and the food is delicious. The pan fried dumplings are something I dream of when I moved away. This is your classic family run style restaurant and and they do an amazing job.

Mediocre food and poor value. Paid $45 for appetizer and two dishes. The scallion pancakes were flavorless and overprocessed. The dinner containers were filled mostly with dry rice and hardly any meat or veg's. How do they expect repeat customers?

I've ordered from here for 1/4 century. Presently best in town. Portions create leftovers so 2 for 1 in the end for me (good enough to eat all at once).

I just moved here from Seattle a week ago and I just so happened to come across this restaurant today. Staff are very friendly, food is delicious, and it is very convenient for my family’s budget. Totally recommend this place

We came at a time were it was pretty empty. The service was amazing. The woman who served us was kind, informative and respectful. The food was exactly what I wanted. It had flavor, plenty of meat and the egg rolls… omg the egg rolls are awesome. I was even really happy with the price of everything. The atmosphere was so cozy, a little outdated but I liked the vibe.

I was blown away by how delicious the chicken fried rice was. Tye egg rolls are huge and super yummy. Lady was so sweet and very attentive. The orange chicken was perfect. The place is dated yes but the food was great. Very happy with all of it. Thank you!

Didn’t like their food at all

Yummy

They are not too friendly. I asked for the lunch promotional spicy shrimp. But it only came 4 pieces of shrimp with a lots of vegetables and rice. Not worth for the money I paid.

I only go there for the pork fried rice in the pork lo mein it's good and it's cheap and you get a good portion

The food is so good I did get sweet and sour chicken but to my surprise it wasn't what I thought it was going to be they give you chicken fingers with pink sauce but in their menu chicken fingers is really chicken tenders that's why I thought I was going to get sweet and sour chicken I usually get that with my rice

Ordered sweet and sour chicken. The rice was decent but they didn’t even bother trying to make sweet and sour chicken it’s just chicken fingers with sauce thrown on top. Lastly their chicken fingers are uncooked, still raw dough inside and Very very greasy. I know Chinese is supposed to be cheap but you gotta at least try.

I have a serious question for the owner. Do even taste the food you are serving your customers???? Because that is some of the absolute worst tasting food I have even been served at a restaurant. It’s sad when Panda Express blows your food out the ball park. I wonder how much food is actually wasted here because I know most people don’t eat it. Disgusting!!! That pork chow was freaking gross. The noodles were actually from a bag and they dump some nasty veggie sauce over the top of it. Not to mention service was horrible too. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! YUCK!!!

Large venue accommodating to a crowd. Menu is the Chinese food menu from my childhood, which is nice if you’re looking for a classic American Chinese experience. Very reasonable prices. Decor is pretty dated. The wait staff was fairly no fuss, which can kind of be nice, but isn’t a super fine dining experience. It’s a nice local spot.

This was a tough one to review. Their Chinese food isn't the typical "New England" style that a lot of us love. This is a style that you may find in Florida or the Midwest. For starters egg rolls in New England are usually made with mostly shredded and dried celery, char su pork and cabbage giving them there unique flavor. Their egg rolls were almost all cabbage giving them very little flavor. Pork fried rice is often judged by flavor, fillers and how dark it is. Their pork fried rice is yellow, with very little pork and greatly lacking flavor. Chinese chicken wings are usually marinated and have a nice dark skin. I will say that their wings tasted good, but they were your typical breaded chicken wings. More of an American style. Their teriyaki had a nice flavor, but was a little rough and extremely narrow. New England lobster sauce is traditionally made with pork. Their sauce had zero pork in it. They used peas, carrots and eggs as fillers with the shrimp. It's too bad because the flavors were actually spot on. Lastly I did think the spareribs were pretty solid. Meat was tender and the flavors weren't strong, but they were still tasty. The other item that sets New England Chinese food apart from other areas of the country is their delicious homemade duck sauce. Usually made with apples or plums and a few other ingredients. Their sauces (duck and hot mustard) come in packets. It is the red sauce that you find outside of New England. The food was edible, but there are so many other great choices.

I love this restaurant!!! Always good food and cheap!!!

The waitstaff is great ~ especially Sherri! The food is average but the live music they have is amazing. You can purchase tickets to attend concerts in a special room and this weekend I flew up from TN just to see Anthony Gomes! The shows were great and it's definitely an intimate setting. I've been going to Chans for almost 20years to see Anthony play. The room holds a certain amount and when that show is sold out it can become very crowded so you will make friends with your neighbors.

It has been a very long time since I have been to Chans. Plenty of street parking and a giant free lot just for Chans directly across the street. I am pretty sure that this restaurant is older than me. I parked across the street. After getting out of the Mystery Machine it is impossible not to notice the very beautiful, well kept Asian facade on the building. You immediately get those old school vibes. Before you even enter they proudly have signage on the door that they take pride in hand making their Egg Rolls. The excitement begins. Walking in you see some spectacular Asian decor. Some of the art made with different materials takes up whole walls. It was like stepping back in time. They also had pictures up of famous people that have performed or visited, kinda like a Rhode Island Kowloon in a way. I had good intentions on only getting a few things, I'm doing pretty well losing weight. However a good Chinese menu to me is probably like 50 Shades of Gray to a desperate housewife. Side note, if anyone wants to tie me up and have their way with me feeding me Chinese food we can make a Netflix special. 50 Shades of Pork Fried Rice.. The woman working were very friendly. I ordered enough food that I started hearing Stevie Wonder and friends sing, We are the World. We are the world, we are the children, we are the ones that lobster sauce makes a brighter day so let's start eating.. And it's true you make a brighter day when Chinese food comes home with me. The Farmaid people were like dude, can you like order some vegetables. Not tonight my Midwestern friends. I'll eat some of your animals though, not the one from the Muppets, he's too cool. Most people don't know that I belong to PETA (People Eat Tasty Animals). While waiting for my food I sat at the bar. I had a cup of steam, cold, in it's liquid and solid state. The bartender was polishing the brass around the bar. The locals were extremely friendly. I really enjoyed my time, and I overly tipped my bartender for a free glass of water. You could tell she was a hard worker and made sure that I felt welcome. Other patrons and myself reminisced about when we use to be skinny. I was telling them about my morning shakes and nightly salads when a fork truck brought out my to go order. I told them it was for the needy. I needy my Chinese food. The Hot and Sour Soup was thick, had a nice flavor, a touch of tangy sweetness and was overall pretty solid. ***Egg Rolls*** These lived up to the sign on the front door. A nice strong celery flavor mixed with pork and some spices. These were legit! **Chicken Wings** These were perfectly marinated. The kind we grew up on. Absolutely delicious! *Beef Teriyaki* These had a delicious flavor, marinated throughout. I could taste some notes of ginger, no Gilligan. They could have been more tender, but the flavors helped me overlook that. Spareribs on the Bone Side note, my nickname in high school was "The Bone." Some say it's because I looked like the dude on Growing Pains. Others said it was because of that time in coed gym class I forgot to wear underwear with sweatpants. Either way, I owned it. The ribs were what we were use to growing up. They were meaty, not dry and had a pretty good flavor. They weren't the star of the show, but they weren't bad either. Some ribs I put on a pedestal, usually when my coffee table is dirty.. These I would consider middle of the road. I would also consider getting them again, but I wouldn't go out of my way like I do for some of my favorite ribs. **Lobster Sauce** My picture doesn't do this justice. Some of the best flavored, very thick and full of pork, old school Lobster Sauce that I have had in a while. The flavors were strong without being salty or sweet. Brought me back to my childhood, and I didn't have to microdose. Nice job Chef!! You can order small or large. With or without shrimp. I really enjoyed this and if it's cool with the gents that run Prestige Worldwide, we will be serving this at the freaking Catalina Wine Mixer! Overall, a great experience!
