"Mean waitress, good food"   My Rating
6 veganpig	Posted on: Wednesday, September 09, 2009
	Review: I found this restaurant while browsing Happy Cow when I was hungry one day, so I made it a mission to go here. The first few times I went, I felt the same as the rest of the reviewers on here. Great food (although not all vegan) and good service. They even poured my tea for me, and served my soup. I thought this place was a sure thing, so I decided to bring my boyfriend. I'm not really sure what happened, but all the times we have gone together the service has been absolutely terrible. We always get the same waitress (not the older one, and there are only two females). This woman is beyond rude. I was ordering my food, and she walked away before I was done! I had to say \"Excuse me I'm still ordering.\" When the food did arrive, one of the dishes was not what I ordered. She proceeded to raise her voice and say \"You ordered noodles, not soup!\" I gave up that argument and took the noodles. I then asked for a rice bowl to eat my main entree with, and she refused to give me one because I had a bowl that the noodles were in. I explained I still wanted a bowl for the rest of my food, and she came back and slammed 4 bowls on the table. What am I going to do with 4 bowls? My boyfriend asked for a Sprite. She came and put the can on the table and walked away. No cup, no ice. I had to ask the busboy for it. The last time we went (and it will be the last) she didn't take our order for 15 minutes. I hate to say this, but I've noticed that Chinese people get preferential treatment here big time. My boyfriend is Asian, but not 100% Chinese, and we are a mixed couple. I honestly believe this is why the service suddenly changed. In any case, this waitress is the worst I have ever come across. Despite how good the food might be, we will never go back there. The only reason this place got 2 stars from me is because it won't let me choose 0.   Pros: Good food * * Cons: Horrible waitress * *

"Another good find thru Happycow! DELICIOUS!"   My Rating
10 Naan Cee	Posted on: Wednesday, July 22, 2009
	Review: Found this place after looking for a new place to dine in the Industry Hacienda area on Happycow. It did not disappoint. The place is super clean, service is good, prices fair and the food is EXCELLENT. My fave dishes are the taro croquettes, tofu pot with basil and egg plant, dumplings, shredded soy and green veggies, black pepper steak (tofu or soy) and my boyfriend loves the fried bread. A must when in the area. Happycow has been a good source for us!   Pros: tasty food * prices are fair * clean (hard to find sometimes) Cons: busy center * *

"Excellent veg cuisine"   My Rating
1 Janell	Posted on: Saturday, October 06, 2007
	Review: Our family has enjoyed Happy Veggie Garden since its opening. Every dish we've tried is well-prepared and delicious. Their selection is extensive and the wait staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. The meal includes tea, and usually a small salad or nuts as a starter and oranges at the end. We are always made to feel welcome and that our patronage is valued. They are especially good with children.   Pros: Tasty food * good value * friendly staff Cons: None * *

	Review: I think Happy Veggie Garden is the best Chinese Vegetarian restaurant in US. I've tried many different chinese vegetarian restaurant in different places or states. This one is the BEST! It is very tasty, good prices, good quality, and the waiter/waitress there are friendly and helpful. The owner is very nice, too. You won't be disappointed.   Pros: delicious dishes * clean * friendly Cons: parking can be hard * *

"Saucy and Flavorful"   My Rating
296 Chia	Posted on: Friday, March 16, 2007
	Review: This restaurant opened in summer of 2006 and has already established a regular following since. The chef and some crew came from the long-time operating Happy Family Veg Restaurant that's also in Rowland Heights. My husband and I like to come here for the bargain lunch specials where each entree costs between $5-7 and includes a main dish, rice or fried bread, soup, and hot tea. The food is made-to-order and served hot. Lots of flavors and lots of choices including mockmeats, tofu, and veggies. It gets really busy and noisy on weekends so come early around 11am if possible. Weekdays are no problem, and the service is quick and courteous. Dinner menu is also extensive, prices moderate between $7-13 per entree. I recommend: Tofu and basil in hot pot, Buddha's feast (stir fry veggies), steamed dumplings, crispy fish with sesame (don't worry, it's mock fish), and sweet & sour taro ribs. The one complaint I have is that the food is usally very saucy and often contain sugar and salt, so I would suggest ordering some light vegetable dishes to balance out the meal. Anyhow, this is a great place to come once in a while, especially when you are in the area. Tell the restaurant you found them from the HappyCow website and the owners will be very pleased.   Pros: good value * flavorful * many choices Cons: somethings too saucy * sugar & salt *

"as good as it gets in Taiwan"   My Rating
21 eric	Posted on: Saturday, November 25, 2006
	Review: I often really miss the veggie food of Taiwan since I lived there for a few years and I'm so happy that Happy Veggie Garden opened as they offer excellent Chinese / Taiwanese cuisine. It's very affordable, hope the prices stay as they are. So far, everything I've tried there has been good. It's also staffed by some of the nicest people. For something very Taiwanese, try the pan fried turnip cake.   Pros: Yummy Taiwanese Food * Inexpensive * Nice staff Cons: Not located in Westside * *
