Located in historic downtown Idaho Falls, Idaho, walking distance from the Snake River, and breathtaking falls, Happy Chinese Restaurant is that rare establishment that succeeds despite its location. While city hall is not far away, the old town does not generate much street traffic. Instead, the restaurant’s reputation has built a devoted clientele that sometimes drives over thirty minutes to taste the exquisite dishes at Happy Chinese Restaurant. The enticing Chinese food and cultural ambiance attracts customers from all over the surrounding area- a sure sign of a successful business!

Happy Chinese Restaurant is dine-in establishment with a comfortable 2800 square foot dining space. The restaurant is littered with decorations and baubles to catch the eye. Decked in the eye-catching color red, Chinese knot, lanterns, chairs, and many other decorations help create a pleasing ambiance. Red is a lucky color in Chinese culture and its decoration delivers a meaning of happiness and delight.

Happy Chinese Restaurant serves New Chinese food. Unlike many Chinese restaurants, which specialize in Americanized Chinese food, Happy Chinese Restaurant offers more authentic Chinese food. The owner explains his humble goal: “Helping more and more American people understand the real, authentic Chinese food is the goal I am aim at. I hope I can integrate our splendid Chinese culinary art and culture into our food. Customers are not just enjoying our food, but our culture and culinary art.” Mr. Li is happy to introduce the background of a specific item if customers are curious about a dish’s origin.
