Happy Garden Chinese Buffet in Glen Dale is a standard small-town Chinese-American restaurant.



I picked up several Styrofoam to-go boxes from the main counter and filled them with food from the buffet: General Tso's chicken, seafood delight, crab rangoons, etc. Those are my core go-tos: a little sweet, a little savory, a little creamy, a little crunchy.



After weighing each box, the cashier rang me up. I think this is the best way to go because you can enjoy the variety of a buffet in the comfort of your own home. Plus, you can have leftovers. With a buffet, though, comes my oft-recited complaints - a bit dried out, a bit chewy. But par for the course.
