Overview

Welcome to The Happy Crane, where authentic Chinese flavors meet thoughtful technique and a spirit of creativity. Rooted in tradition yet expressed through a modern Chinese lens, each dish celebrates heritage while embracing fresh ideas — served in a warm, joyful setting. The restaurant's name is a whimsical nod to both Chef James' Chinese heritage and his English background. In Chinese culture, the crane symbolizes longevity, wisdom, and nobility, while the name itself also pays subtle homage to the charming, storybook-style names found in traditional English pubs. Just like the crane, guests can expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere while exploring a menu that blends tradition, technique, and creativity.
