Happy Takeaways — Local services in Waitematā

Let me tell you about this restaurant I visited recently. Brace yourself for a wild ride of disappointment! Not only did they have the audacity to refuse credit cards, but they also had the nerve to serve their mediocre food only for take-away. Talk about a double whammy!

Now, let's get real about the food. It was nothing to write home about. Sure, it was cheap, but it tasted like they cut corners everywhere. The flavors were bland and lacked any excitement. It's like they were trying to make the cheapest meal possible without considering the actual taste. Don't expect any culinary masterpieces here, folks.

And let's not forget about their brilliant decision to only offer take-away. How convenient! If you want to enjoy their lackluster dishes, you'll have to take it home or find a nearby park bench. Who needs a proper dining experience, right? They clearly don't care about their customers' comfort or the ambiance of their restaurant.

Oh, and did I mention the joy of paying in cash? Yes, that's right, they don't accept credit cards. They must think it's still the Stone Age or something. Who carries around wads of cash these days? It's inconvenient and just shows their outdated mentality. It's like they're actively trying to make your dining experience as inconvenient as possible.

In conclusion, this restaurant is a prime example of how to disappoint customers on every level. From their refusal to accept credit cards to their lackluster take-away food, they manage to check all the boxes for a terrible dining experience. Don't waste your time or money here. There are far better options out there where you can actually enjoy a decent meal without feeling like you're being taken advantage of. Steer clear of this disaster of...

Very disappointed!! Especially when you spend $120 for bland & absolutely tasteless food.

We ordered the Fish Thai green curry, chicken fried rice, steak chow mein, wonton soup, chips, nuggets, deep fried wontons & home made dumplings.

Fish Thai green curry: Very bland tasting Thai dish, no seasoning at all & barely any fish! Probably only had 4 pieces total which were tiny & the rest was filled with plain boiled rice & loads of vegetables.

Chicken fried rice: Chicken was dry & overall a very bland dish. Just tasted like plain boiled rice, no soy sauce or love whatsoever.

Steak chow mein: Again a very underwhelming dish, little to no steak, packed with veggies & the sauce was very bland.

Wonton soup: I wouldn’t even call it a soup, it was just plain old hot water with wontons, broccoli & meat floating in it. Most tasteless wonton soup I’ve ever tried. Had to add my own fresh chilli & sauces to give it some life.

Chips: Old chips, tasted like they had been reheated or fried again as they were stale & very oily.

Only pleasant items were the deep fried wontons, generous meat filling & crispy. Also the homemade dumplings were delicious & surprisingly had seasoning.

To the reviews saying this is the best or one of the best Chinese spots in Auckland have no tastebuds. An absolute waste of money &...

TASTIEST HEALTHY NOODLES IN AUCKLAND. I discovered Happy in 2015 and have been a loyal customer since. My favorite dish is the Hong Kong style Soft Noodles with Chicken. It's full of flavor, yet there's barely any sign of oil. The chicken is actual chicken breast unlike most other places and it comes in big quantity; more than enough for someone who cares about his protein intake like me. It also comes packed with broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and onions cooked to the right point: not too soft, no too hard. Strongly recommended! Their other dishes also reflect quality and freshness and they are all relatively cheap. Last but not least, their service is superb; always fast and attentive. Really, I cannot think about a single downside of this place. I...
