Happy Garden II

Maybe you have to go earlier. We went at 8pm this time. Crab legs, gone. They brought one pan out. The green beans, gone. Several items were clearly not going to be replaced. So I get that if they were closing soon. They should say so. I would not be upset to be told we are closing at 9 and many items won’t be available. At least it’s my choice. The salmon was even more dried than last Sunday. I guess when I do come back it won’t be late. 5pm was clearly the better choice
Would have done 2.5 stars if it let me

Good selection of delicious Chinese food. This place has one of the best snow crab sushi rolls I’ve ever had and I go to lots of sushi joints. The staff are always super friendly and remember their regular customers and what they like to drink. In addition to Chinese food there is a nice little salad bar, great boiled seafood, and an ice cream machine. Definitely get your money’s worth here.

I give Happy Garden II 4 stars, because I think it’s one of the better chinese buffets. I’ve been to my share of chinese buffets, and many are bigger than this one. However, the quality of the food is usually really tasty for a buffet. Make sure to go during peak lunch or dinner hours, because that’s when it is the freshest. They do not add to the buffet close to the ending of lunch or closing time, which can be a problem if you get there late.
They offer the staples of chinese buffets, like egg rolls, General Tso’s chicken, honey chicken, fried rice and boiled shrimp. No spring rolls, which is a bit odd. They also offer fresh sushi which is really good, and on the weekends boiled blue crabs or crawfish and snow crab legs, which always seem to be on the skinny, water-​downed side. American offerings include stuffed crab (delicious), fried chicken wings, mac & cheese, fried corn fritters, and even mozzarella sticks. They also have a small salad bar and a fresh fruit bar, which can include watermelon and bananas with strawberry sauce. Desserts include pudding, a variety of chinese cakes, ice cream with sauces and toppings, and I have even seen pecan pie on the weekend.
The staff is friendly and, for the most part, on top of things like refills. The owner is friendly and accommodating.

Everytime I come home, we hit Happy Garden at least once. Last time, my 2 year old requested it 3 nights in a row and we were happy to oblige. The food is great and I really like the fresh sushi. Servers are always so nice and the owner feels like family.

Let me start off by saying I am not a fan of buffets. I was lured to this one because of the hot boiled Louisiana crayfish.
I have to say, the crayfish were seasoned well, plenty of boiled shrimp and snow crab legs (my favs) There def was a big enough selection to accommodate a variety of people. If you’re ever in the area, this will cure your hunger pains for sure.

Best Chinese buffet in Boutte/​Luling/​Paradis area!
Food is always fresh and tasty. Restaurant is always clean. Inexpensive! Many repeat customers, including me.

Nice selection of the usual foods found in Chinese buffets. Especially good: hot and sour soup, sauteed green beans, lightly-​battered chicken w/​light sweet sauce, Singapore noodles, stuffed crab, and a small variety of Japanese sushi.
Included in the desserts: soft-​serve ice cream w/​different toppings.
Special private room accommodates large groups, 10 – 40 people.
Located on right side of Hwy 90 on way to Raceland/​Houma, across the highway of a large church.
