New Happy Garden Restaurant - Elora

The dumplings are really tasty and the Shanghai noodles are very good. A large selection of North American Chinese dishes and a smaller selection of sezchwan. Very good service and friendly staff. It's attached to the Village Inn so convenient for travellers staying at the Inn. A good place for lapse real people to share dishes for a very reasonable price. I would not recommend the hot and sour soup.

As a graduate in Hospitality Mgt with decades of experience I know that New Year's Eve is a difficult challenge for many restaurants. This (mainly take-out) restaurant has had some 10 years to come up with coping strategies to address the high volume. Their solution? Don't answer the phone! Expecting a lengthy wait time, I began phoning at 4 pm from another town. "The customer you have reached has not set up their voice-mail box". What? After 10 years? Had I heard a message like "Sorry, but we have reached capacity and can no longer take orders for dinner tonight" that would have been acceptable. Or, hire extra help for the night to answer the phone, if only to let people know you're too busy to deliver tonight. (I assume they suspended delivery service, what with ignoring the phone ringing) After 1/2 an hour of trying to get through, I white-knuckled it through icy weather to place my order in person, while the counter help ignored the ringing phone. "It'll be ready at 8:30 uhh or 8:00". Paid, drove home, drove back at 8:30, drove home again. No apology. Owning a restaurant involves more than knowing how to cook something. Read a book, at least!

We have never had a bad thing from this restaurant . Very tasty. The people that work there are delightful and obliging . There take always are always hot and tasty and always right . It is heart warming food.

This is the best Chinese food in the area. We order here often as the food is delicious! The owners are very nice. The prices are average for Chinese food restaurants, the portions are large or you can order a dinner combo instead.

When in a pinch the food works; not the best I have ever had but alright. The lemon chicken is quite good and so is the Shanghai noodles...however they use massive chunks of broccoli to replace other portions of the meal. A little expensive and very slow service. Called in meal and was told 25 mins; it took 1 hour and 45 minutes
