About

Happy Jack's Restaurant opened its doors in 1967 when owners Jack & Wendy Chew decided to prrovide the Niagara Region & Western New York with great Chinese food, friendly service & generous portions. Jack & Wendy worked from their small 40 seat diner until 1972, when they had expanded the restaurant to 110 seats & 1977, they decided to expand once again with another 130 seats dining room. It was an exciting time, with a new building & expanded menu to cater to the new & developing taste or our customers. Through their dilegence to serve the best Chinese food. In 2000, the three sons(Jeff, Alvin & Jack Jr.) took over the restaurant & continue too expand seating to Happy Jack's outdoor Patio. Riverwalk overlooking the Peace Bridge & N.River

We were so excited to have our favorite and couldn’t wait to introduce Happy Jacks to our guests. My husband picked up our extensive order, and it was terrible! I ordered cashew nut chicken - spicy, but it was flavorless. Not one dish was tasty. We were so embarrassed and disappointed.

Had Pad Thai and C5 (shrimp, mushroom rice and sweet and sour pork). There was so much food that it was sharable and plenty of leftovers!! The food was fresh, hot and soooo delicious!! Best Chinese cuisine in the area!!

Rarely would I give a 5 star review but Happy Jacks in Fort Erie deserves it. Its reputation preceded it so I really needed to try it. My brother and I went down there and were greeted by Alvin and his staff and given a table. The service and attention to detail was unparalleled by any other restaurant I've ever been in. Wonton soup as a starter, perfect. Egg rolls with house made hot mustard (extremely hot, like horseradish not for the faint of heart) and a house made plum sauce, both were excellent. They even make their crispy wontons that you put into the soup which was a really nice touch! Our main meal was exceptional. Alvin suggested, and then brought us the Sizzling Pork, which any restaurant would be proud (if they had it) to consider a signature dish. The staff is so attentive and sincere... an absolute dining experience. We thank you again Alvin and his brother for a great night!

First time trying Happy Jack's!!! We ordered A LOT of food, and it came hot+fresh in less than an hour! The food was fantastic and you could tell they put care into their food. Really good jardoo wings, jumbo shrimp, egg rolls, fried rice and many other delish items. Will come back!

Wow wow wow! First off took advantage of a beautiful day and sat on the patio to enjoy dinner what a view! The staff are so friendly and attentive. Was never waiting on anything. The food .. if I could give a thousand stars I would!! If you are looking for the tastiest authentic Chinese food this is your spot! So fresh and flavourful I couldn't stop taking about how good it was! Even the leftovers we brought home and had the next day were just as good as if we just ordered it fresh again! 5 stars hands down all around! What an amazing place to eat and enjoy a beautiful view!

Warm and welcomed by the staff from the phone to the front door. We placed an order for take out and they quickly had our dinner prepared for us. The Tao's chicken, happy fried rice and beans with greens were all very delicious. Don't forget to add the jumbo chili shrimp, they're so flavorful! We made the trip from Welland and by the time we got home our food was still hot. Definitely worth the drive if you're outside of Fort Erie.

The best chinese food anywhere. It beats chinese food in Buffalo, Rochester, New York, and many other cities. Very good, fast service. Dine in and take out is great. The patio on the Niagara River is really nice... we wish it were open more, though... it is beautiful to sit outside along the river on a nice day. Mushroom fried rice, mixed vegetables with almonds, sweet and sour chicken are outstanding. Restrooms upstairs could use some closer attention for cleaning (use chlorine bleach and water to mop the floor and get rid of the odor in the mens room), and they are in desperate need of remodeling... they are beat up. The restaurant needs to improve their food safety, judging from health inspection reports posted online. It's getting a little pricey here. Highly recommended!

Its not nearly as good as it was 20+ years ago. Our server was an older lady. She was too eager to rush us in and out. Food was good but too salty. You may want to check the recipe for the shrimp and lobster sauce. Pork??? It was not very good at all. Sorry. Theres too many other Asian places to go to.

Myself and a friend of mine (in a wheelchair) went to go eat some Chinese food on the patio that they advertised. When I got there however, I was informed that the patio was currently closed and I was offered take out as I couldnt physically get my friend inside because it wasnt wheelchair accessible-also like they advertised. Wheelchair accessibility: When you google Happy Jacks it says that it is wheelchair accessible, however its not. There was no way to get into the front doors.

After frequently eating at this restaurant over the years, we decided not to ever go back. A friend and I went for lunch one day over the winter and the restaurant was empty. One of the owners, Al served us. After we ate our lunch, I asked to order a meal to go and he said to hurry up because he was busy! Ok then. I should have walked out and not tipped him either! Thats when I decided to never go back. He was obviously having a bad day and brought it to our table. I felt unappreciated and embarrassed. We have found a few other family owned Chinese restaurants that are much better: food, price and most importantly, service.

My friend and I visited after a long day of travel. Unsure of the hours, we walked in as the restaurant was closing. Immediately we were met with very friendly service and they offered to keep the kitchen open for us seeing how tired we looked. The food was delicious and the owner came by to chat with us. We explained that we had just came all the way from Pittsburgh and were trying to get to Hamilton but were a little stuck in Fort Erie. Upon hearing this, he immediately figured out multiple different routes for us despite nothing being avaliable on google maps and no ubers/lyfts being available. This is an experience my friend and I will remember for the rest of our lives and I hope to have the opportunity to visit again!

I got the combination 3 to compare to the other local Chinese spots in Fort Erie and Ridgeway. The sweat and sour chicken balls are far superior to any other spot I ve tried. The chicken in the chow mein tasted fresh. However, the mushroom fired rice was very bland and tasted stale, along with the chow mein, very bland and stale (other than the chicken pieces). I give it 3 stars because of chicken balls and the chicken in the chow mein

December 22, 2023

Very disappointing. Ordered Peking chicken dish, no flavour at all. Asked for a spicy sauce to bump it up a bit and was given hot mustard! Through our whole meal the phone was ringing very loudly. Seemed to be all around us. Turns out our server ( the owner) had it in his pocket. Very annoying. Left only a 10% tip. Owner made a comment at that point he sure wouldnt be heading to Hawaii on our generous tip. Who does that!

You know to be a Chinese Restaurant. I expected their portion sizes to be a lot bigger for what you pay for. American Chinese restaurants give you huge portions. Well I mean, they usually are take out or buffets. But damn, this place right here boyyyy. I mean the food is really good though and taste really healthy. The food is not as greasy at all either which is a pro. The owners are really friendly and patient as well. They accept American Cash, American Card, Canadian Cash and American Card as well. With the American Cash they sell you the food as if you were paying in America. They don t charge you a foreign exchange fee. Which is nice, so if you are American. Come with American Cash. You ll get the food cheaper!

1st time visiting and I wasnt impressed. Place smelled old, moldy. Ample seating but I was not tempted to stay. The mat at the entry way is torn and just taped over, there are no fish in the pond...zero for ambience. The prices are high when compared to Lucky Dragon and other Niagara locations and the portion definitely not worth what is paid. Didnt enjoy the meal...had to add eggs etc to it bring up the taste.

Never thought I would be having to resort to giving a bad review,however tonights experience tops all. To start the last time my wife ordered the food made her sick however we thought we would give the benefit of the doubt. Tonight my wife ordered around 730 pm and we figured we would receive our food after about an hour. All seemed to be going well. At 1020ish we called in because we had received no food and we wanted to figure out what was going on. We were informed that the person who took our order was not there and his brother had our order ther however he claimed we had given no number or address and our food was cold and would not be delivered. He initially said we did not give a phone number however he knew my wifes number ended 5522. He then made us feel it was our fault even tho we are regular customers and none of his accusations make sense. When I said I felt he did not care at all and made it clear I was upset I was informed I was banned from ordering from here again. I will not reccomend this place to anyone and if your thinking of ordering from here you have been warned. There is one brother interested I making this business amazing and another who wants to rui it

I have lived in a lot of cities all across Canada and the US, and since my childhood, have sought after the best Chinese cuisine, and I have to say, I have found it at Happy Jacks!! Happy Jack s KNOWS how to make amazingly good food! The food is always fresh, hot and delicious, and the service is always fast and courteous. Thank you so much, I love your restaurant! Sooooo good!!

Surprisingly good Thanksgiving Dinner!

The food is tasteless and fried more than Cheech and Chong, and the guy who took my call had a poor attitude.

Whoa! You better be hungry when you come here. We ordered 6 entrees to share between 2 couples. We each brought half of everything home for another day. Service and food was excellent . Building is kind of dated, but they have been in business for more than 50 years.

The food was very tasty. The owner seemed nice and helpful. You can sit outside right on the water. This is the first Chinese food restaurant that Ive been to that doesnt give you steamed rice with the dish you order. I would recommend eating here.

I have great memories of Happy Jacks my whole life. Its where I learned to use chop sticks, a skill that has served me well. When my wife and I moved into the neighbourhood, they were our go to while we set up the kitchen because their hospitality to the tops and their menu accommodates a plant-based diet. We still order regularly, because of the great memories, food, and service.

Just becoming a little overpriced. Sence pandemic restrictions have bin over quality of steak meat isnt the same neither is chicken seems more like imatation and not so friendly.Back in August Spent over $300 on bill for granddaughter birthday no happy birthday or slice of cake just fortunate cookies. Lossing class picture was from 2weeks ago still no improvement on quality but little more friendly. Parking: Great parking
