Double Happiness Chinese Restaurant - Midland, Ontario

Wife said the food was good she would reccomend it and eat it again.... she always gets a combo plate with chicken balls, rice and I usually score the egg roll lol... the egg roll was pretty good.... prices are not too bad but could be a bit cheaper... and maybe clean up the dining room area, there was tables covered in takeout containers or something, wasnt a good sign nobody was eating there

The food is quite good here- typical Canadian/North American style Chinese food. Their combo meals are great value, and they make some of the best chicken balls! Our only comment is that if they say food is ready in 30 minutes, it may be closer to an hour- just be prepared to wait. Otherwise, all good- staff were nice too!

Had dinner last night from Double Happiness. We ordered many different dishes and each one was delicious. Have always loved their food.

Food is hit and miss. Usually lemon chicken good. Ordered it last night and threw it all away ..overcooked. hard. Called and they said I didn't call early enough.. just had surgery and wasn't up to it. Consumer beware

Food was marginally good. 1 of 3 chicken balls was inedible, the others were mostly dough. The egg roll was gross and the majority of the dish as rice that was pretty good. The service as friendly. Dining in is with paper plates and plastic cutlery, really weird. Food is delivered to your table in takeout container, in a bag, and drinks come in cans with no glass. Why go out? Their electronic payment system prompts you for a tip. Seriously?

I have never had a problem with Double Happiness before, but that changed on Sunday. I spent fourteen years working for a Cantonese owned business in my youth, so I developed a taste for certain Cantonese dishes that most people don't order because we would go out to eat after work at their friend's Chinese restaurant. One of these dishes is Salt and Pepper Squid. Double Happiness is the only place in Midland that serves this dish, and I order it quite regularly. What I received last night was not fit to feed to raccoons. They have changed their product due to supply issues, according to the person on the phone. They should not be serving this at all! Firstly it had an overpowering fish odour mixed with a chemical tang. I took a bite out of one, and discovered that they did not remove the cartilage/gladius. So I could not bite through it due to that, and that piece, and every piece had it still in the squid. It is like a strip of plastic akin to a rubber band. I took another and ate it whole. Which I will regret later. I noticed a chemical taste as well, and found that the 3rd, and 4th piece had this cartilage as well as I tore them open with my hands. I assumed every piece was like this. I called the restaurant not to complain, but to politely inform them of this, and to let them know that thay should not serve this to anybody as it is inedible. The person on the phone was nice, and asked me to hold so that they can speak to their manager and work out a discount on my next order. They left me on hold - ignoring me - for 30 minutes! When I finally hung up and tried to call again they would not answer the phone. I gave up on this and went back to eat the remainder of my meal - beef with broccoli - which was now cold. Still, that chemical taste was on my mouth and tongue from the squid, and even was 'burning' my tongue. The rest of the squid went straight to my compost bin (as seen in the 2nd picture), as it was inedible garbage. I was up half the night with food poisoning from the squid. It was disgusting. One and a half eaten pieces had made me so sick! Even this morning as I write this my stomach is still cramped and that chemical taste is still on my tongue! Based on this treatment which shows that they don't care, as well as the fact that they would serve this poisonous garbage to their paying customers, I will NEVER order from them again. They obviously have no respect for their customers or their community! I am also shocked that they would not even offer a refund but only a discount on a future order. As a former bar/restaurant owner this blows my mind. I would never serve an inferior product to a guest at my restaurant and I have offered a refund or complementary meal for far less than what I have encountered at Double Happiness. They should be ashamed of themselves for serving trash to their community.

We need to do pick up only because the dine in is no longer available - covid is over guys! Anyway the food is great especially their chicken balls and pork dumplings.

This was our first time ordering food here. The food portions are average, and wait time from ordering was about 20 minutes. (Not bad) the flavor of the food in my opinion is a bit bland. The rice and chicken need some more flavor, the broccoli and carrots were great! The chicken balls were way too over battered. They look huge but one bite and then you're into bread and dry chicken.

I will dine here again to see if it's just a one off (bad day). I'll repost afterwards.
