Quick info
About The Happy Garden
The Happy Garden is a Chinese takeaway in Antrim, found at 18 New St. Its menu pairs salt and chilli chicken with curry sauce, served half and half so one order covers both the dry, seasoned chicken and the sauce. Salt and chilli prawns sit alongside it in the same style. Chicken chow mein is a recurring order, and chicken balls round out the familiar takeaway range. Chips and rice come as sides, so a meal can be built around either. The kitchen works as a takeaway, so food is prepared to be taken away rather than eaten in.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken chow mein is the dish praised most often, described as tasty and delicious. The chicken wings special box and sweet and sour chicken are also singled out, and one regular rates the curry as a favourite over any other Chinese. Friendly staff and fast delivery come up repeatedly among the happier reviews. The negatives are substantial and sharply at odds with that praise. Salt and chilli chicken is called overcooked and greasy with an aftertaste, and the salt and chilli prawns are said to taste only of oil. Others report a duck ordered well done arriving almost raw, a bland order that ended up in the bin, and a delivery that arrived cold after two phone calls and a forgotten order. Wrong orders from counter staff and delivery times that swing between quick and slow also recur. One reviewer who complained was offered a replacement but declined. Chicken balls are sometimes overcooked, yet one customer who collects says watching the chefs cook is a good sign.
