The Happy Garden - Antrim

Fantastic Chinese restaurant! The staff is very friendly, and the food is excellent. Even my young niece, who is quite picky, loved her meal. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. We tried the crispy chicken with Beijing sauce, special roasted rice, chicken balls, honey chicken, rice, and a few chips, all of which were enjoyed by my family. I would highly recommend this place to everyone!

Dining here is quite enjoyable, especially since her curry is my favorite dish among all Chinese restaurants. However, I do have a few issues with the counter staff. While they usually get my order correct, there are times when they completely mess it up, which can be quite frustrating. It seems there is a high turnover rate among the counter personnel, making it a bit of a gamble as to whether you'll get someone experienced when you call. Their delivery service is hit or miss; it can be quick (as fast as 15 minutes) or take quite a while (up to an hour). Despite these inconveniences, I still enjoy dining here regularly.

The ordering process was straightforward, and my meal arrived on time. I ordered the salt and chili chicken, opting for a half-and-half serving with curry sauce. The chips and rice were nice, and the curry sauce was decent. However, the salt and chili chicken was far from satisfactory; it was overcooked, quite greasy, and left an unpleasant aftertaste. I can't speak for the quality of the other dishes, but based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this one.

From this place tonight 28/12/2020 ordered and a part of the order was missing. I am a trusted worker and sometimes rely on quick food to get a quick dinner when time / energy is in short supply. I took care of simply asking where the missing eating should only be met with a dry, rude girl who called as much as immediately a lügner and said that I didn't order it if I had actually made her read it when I first give up the order!. I couldn't get a civilian word from her, so I asked to talk to a manager and was left on the phone for a few moments before she came back and said: "If it wasn't on the commanding doctorate, then there's nothing we can do." I asked for the missing food to be delivered as my children were dependent on their dinner, what I told her and she repeated the above before she added: "you can either come and get it yourself or you can get a free one next time". the attitude was ineffective and seemingly out of nothing. I then said that I had delivered the food that I had already paid for the delivery, and that for the first time I had suspended her a blind eye without having received my address for the first order and she put the phone on me. the ton of the girl even during the phone call where I ordered that the food was released and blunt. I have never seen “service” so in my life and certainly nothing of this place will get back. there is almost always a problem with submissions, so I partially expected to have a problem, but this behavior was absolutely ridiculous.

Food finally arrived after 2 phone calls and 1 and 1/2 hours. One dish was roasting and the rest bone cold. Had forgotten the order and made one last minute. Pork balls contained 2 chicken balls and were cold and tough as rock... staff were crabbit and speeding along the road when delivering, missing our house. No apology or acknowledgement. Never again. Not even going to mention the temperature the food was at, so probably going to get food poisoning.
