I have coming to this restaurant since young child. I recommended wonton soup, egg roll as a start. Crispy Beef or crab raggons as a appetizer, Chili Shrimp to die for, sizzling Cantonese Pork, Ginger Lobster, Cantonese Chow Mein, General Toa's Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls (amazing), Dry Garlic Ribs, & Happy Fried Rice. All gluten free expected the Sweet & sour Chicken & noodle in the Cantonese Chow mein. Great portion & taste is out of this world. The Patio in the summer is amazing!!! Riverwalk the best view. Service, is great. Owner are awesome. Ask for Jack or Alvin.
Stuck in traffic on Peace Bridge, went looking for a restaurant
Due to traffic on the Peace Bridge, we decided to try later in the day. To kill time, we decided to find a nearby restuarant. We were all so pleasantly surprised by the genuine hospitality of the servers and the owner, the tastiness of the food, and the fun experience of it all!
Because it was such an enjoyable experience, we have made this into a yearly Christmas season tradition. We must travel 2 1/2 hours to get there, but the enjoyment is worth it. We have added seeing the NY Falls after our meal.
We have always found the servers to be friendly and most helpful. We have also enjoyed the owner, who, again, genuinely seems to enjoy his customers.
The food was very delicious. We also enjoyed the family style service.
All around, this place has been fun for us. We're thankful we took that detour that day!
We ordered in because it was our moving day. The chicken fried rice, and the mushroom chow mein were tasty. The rest was over cooked to the point it was inedible. Egg rolls, sweet and sour spare ribs, and chicken balls were thrown out. The red sauce was tasteless like it's been watered down. We will never order from there again.
Atmosphere is unknown because we ordered in, but I had to fill it out or it wouldn't post.
I used to come here as a kid with my folks and decided to bring my kids here while I was in town. It's seen a few upgrades (and downgrades) since I was last here. I was saddened to hear that the original Happy Jack passed away a while back, but it's still run by his sons (including Happy Jack Jr.)
When we first walked in, it seemed just like I remembered it. Ok. Except for the Koi pond at the entrance is now empty of fish and water.
The waiters were very quick and efficient. It didn't take long after ordering for the food to start appearing.
The spareribs were amazing. very meaty and hot.
The vegetables were fresh, but were a bit too lubricated for my taste.
The chicken balls are one of my childhood favorites and I was really looking forward to them. Sadly, the reality just didn't live up to the memories. The chicken itself was fine. Just the right ratio of chicken to batter, with just the right amount of salt to the batter and chicken. The sauce had bits of pineapple as I remembered, but had a slight plastic aftertaste to it.
It's not quite as I remembered it, but it's still familiar enough that it feels like I'm sharing a piece of my childhood with my kids. The prices are a bit higher than average for Fort Erie, but not unreasonable. It's definitely reflected in the service and the quality of the food you get, so you do get what you pay for.
Next time, I think I'll be sure to ask them to go a bit easier on the oil.
We've ate here several times and had takeout, too. The staff are very friendly. Food is good altho' a few times not as good (some cooks better than the others?) The interior looks dated and the washroom needs to be renovated. Great wonton soup and Cantonese chow mein and other dishes too.
