This is the only way I know how to thank the restaurant and the gentleman that paid my bill. Short story...My son recently moved to California with his father. I still live in Chicago unfortunately. I got to visit my son for a week and for his 5th birthday, Oct 22nd, we went on a little adventure from his new home of Chico, California. On Friday went stayed in a cabin near the Humboldt Redwoods and we both got to see the giants together for our first time. Saturday morning for his birthday I took him to see the ocean for his first time. Since hes moved I fear I will miss out on a lot of those "first times" so I snatched these up while I could. On our way back to his home we stopped for dinner at the Happy Garden Restaurant. They allowed me to bring in some cupcakes I had gotten him so we could have a mini birthday song and treat. After dinner I went to pay for our meal and could not find my debit card anywhere. No cash. No card. I was in a panic. The owner (Im assuming) was so patient and understanding in letting me leave the restaurant with my son to search the car. When I came back he said that the gentleman over there paid for our meal. I was still in a state of panic and now became overwhelmed with emotions. A strangers kindness, this being the last day with my son, I lost my card, would I have enough gas to make it back and catch my flight the next day? All this brought me to unstoppable tears and I left in a hurry without thanking them. I hope that the stranger and the restaurant sees this. Thank you so much. Another memory added to a very special and fulfilling trip. ~ ❤️Michelle and little Alex.

I was impressed by the ratings so I chose Happy Garden.. But I left not so happy.. The forks were a dirty the napkins riddled with dust!. I politely asked for another fork and almost got into an argument. The close proximity to Clear Lake is probably the best thing about this place. They even had stale fortune cookies (like really?).. The staff was the worst.. My waiter had a terrible attitude, maybe he was having a bad day(?) who knows, but getting their attention was a pain.. I went threw 4 waiters just to get some water, a menu, and napkins. My order was messed up I ordered spicy pad thai and there was nooo spice, & the rice noodles seemed a bit undercooked, and they forgot the bean sprouts, the crab meat cheese wonton was an oily disaster!. The orange chicken was soggy and salty, Serving sizes are average. 5 waiters on break at the same time lmao.. All in all I give them 1 star for convenience ..although Cheff Ramsey mite try to close them down lol.. Tip: I was at the chevron next door, a local fisherman/hotel manager recommended the chicken sandwich from >>Chevron<< instead of "NotSoHappyGarden" but it was too late I had already learned my lesson so he then recommend the bar thats directly next to Happy Garden

I was not expecting too much from a little restaurant with a bar attached and a motel in the same parking lot. I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was immaculate, the bathrooms were clean, the staff was friendly and helpful. The menu had lots of choices for both Chinese and Thai food. We had the lunch special, which was an entree, an egg roll, soup, hot tea, and rice (fried or steamed). The food was excellent! I had the Mix Vegetables. They were perfectly cooked -- still crisp and flavorful. They were in a light broth sauce. The bill for 2 lunch specials was right around $11. Although this restaurant is 130 miles from home, I plan to go there again soon.

Came to visit my family in Clearlake and were from So Cal.. I was sceptical about this restaurant because in So Cal we have had horrible Chinese & Thai food experiences.. Usually we have to go to Panda Express if we want Chinese. This restaurant was AMAZING! We had 9 people in our party and they accomdated us fast. Food is very affordable, large portions and fast service. The crab cream cheese wontons are mouth watering. The sweet n sour chicken was perfect. For the price, you cant go wrong! We ended up ordering way more food than we needed but we thought for 9 people we would each need an order. Will come back for sure

This has got to be the best thai and chinese food ive ever had! green curry chicken ( sauted white meat , fresh green beans,coconut milk with fresh basil and jalapeno peppers) absolutely delicious! The orange chicken is hands down the best! (my fav.) I have personally tried every dish on the menu and everything is wonderful! staff is very friendly and efficient! A MUST GO TO when in Lake CO. cant go wrong here!

Absolutely the best Chinese food Ive had since I lived in Dallas, Tx. This is a food Heaven if you live in Lake County. Best Crispy Honey Walnut Chicken in the world, Im sure. My husband gets Orange Chicken and says its delicious. The Pot Stickers are amazing also. The price for those 3 items together is about $23 and the portions are well worth the money. YUM!

The food was really good. Except we had to wait a little while. The CO2 broke out as well. Not blaming on them. That and there was no music *as other reviews said* but Id eat there again. The food was really good so the waiting was worth it. As well as the restraunt was very clean and the staffs were nice to us.

Truly the best Asian food around the lake, and some of the best in the country in my opinion! Also has a bar with TVs and full liquor options. For the most part the staff is very nice and helpful and Loni is a great bartender and very attentive. 5 stars for sure and one of my favorite restaurants around.

Best Chinese food in Lake County. Reasonable prices. Can be very busy in there, sometimes. I recommend the sesame chicken, the hot and sour soup and the vegetable chow mein. All are very delicious. If youre looking for a decent meal this is a great place to stop....

Love their thai tea and pad thai, certain days it is pack like crazy but worth waiting especially for their fried chicken wings and house chow mein. People complain about seating but for small restaurant like theirs it is normal, they just have to go early.

This is an intimate restaurant with an attached bar. The food is great and the service very good. It is crowded most times on the evenings, but they do have an overflow/banquet room. The owners have just recently opened a second restaurant in Middletown.

Really great food, the wings here are also extremely good would recommend getting a couple on top of what you want. The Portion size is good for the price defiantly able to save some for the next day (minus the wings as they were gone).
