I came here when we were in Denver for seven days straight during a gem show! The food was mostly good, and the service was friendly!

Just received a delivery order from Happy Cafe and it was top notch! Super fresh veggies and fried up pieces with the sweet & sour sauce in a separate container. So thoughtful and amazing!

One of the Chinese restaurants I would not hesitate to bring out of town friends to is Happy Cafe on South Federal. Besides being one of the most frequented Cantonese restaurants by locals, it is also often complimented for its variety and authenticity. At the corner of South Federal and Ford with limited parking spaces, the restaurant may look uninspiring and ordinary, the food here is anything but. Here are its beef with hot chili sauce, shredded salty chicken, boiled fish fillet with pickled vegetable, eggplant with garlic sauce and Maggie duck chin.

The food is great I love the garlic ribs. The service is spot on and great location.

I was craving Taiwanese beef noodle soup and saw a good pick on Yelp! We came here for lunch and were the last 2 person table top. Busy but not too busy! Ordered the fry bun that are perfectly crispy on the outside and like a fluffy cloud on the inside-perfection. I got the beef noodle soup and the flavor of the broth was well developed, however, the beef could have been much more tender- I'm used to the melt in your mouth texture. Overall a delightful satisfying meal!

Small restaurant. No frills ambiance. Iced water served. Christmas lunch and one server who did a phenomenon job. Salt and pepper fish fillet: very tender and tender. Perfectly done. Good sized pieces and good quantity. Sichuan Beef brisket clay pot: mushrooms, glass noodles, Napa cabbage, wood ear fungi, dried bean curd in a flavorful broth. Left my lips and tongue tingling! Great flavor but too spicy for someone who can't tolerate spicy. Thankfully served with steamed rice to temper the heat. Beef chow fun and Singapore noodles: both very flavorful. Would come back for sure!

It is about 4.5 stars. The happy cafe may be the best small Chinese authentic cuisine. There carry many good menu dish. It include braise pigeons, scallions dungeon crab, and more. We start with stir fry spicy chitterlings. The chitterlings is nice and soft. Pleasant to eat. The second dish is salt and pepper quails. Three quails total that chop in 4 pieces each quail. Scallions was in the stir fry. The quail is good to go with wine. The third dish is the squid in soy sauce. This dish is the whole squid. The tentacles is crispy and also the ear of the squid. Overall is good food. Service is good also. Definitely recommend to visit in the future. Don't forget to try other items in the menu.

I've lived in Denver for 4 years and haven't found a Chinese place that I would be willing to get takeout from until I went to Happy Cafe. Most places in Colorado have primarily dumplings or noodle dishes, but not many places do Chinese entrees. Happy Cafe does that and they did not disappoint. I loved their deep fried spare ribs, green beans, and beef chow fun. You know I'll be going back when I'm too lazy to cook!

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Denver Came here after a hike. Greeted by friendly service and large portion of food. So fresh and yummy!! They have a big menu too, and I can't wait to come back next time
