Happy City — Restaurant in Wales

Very poor experience from start to finish. When ordering we were informed that it would be ready to collect in 25 minutes. I duly arrived around 25 minutes later and the place itself was far from impressive, very shabby and tired looking place. I was told that it wouldn’t be too long. Usually you accept that at busy times there is going to be a delay especially on weekends but after 20 minutes it still wasn’t ready and I approached the desk again to be told it was going to be five more minutes. However it was another 15 minutes or so before the food was finally brought out and they forgot a part of the menu which they had to go back and get. There was a couple of pensioners that arrived around the same time and I felt for them as they were still waiting after our food was finally brought out to us. Also the price is astronomical. We normally pay £20 for the same dishes but paid £38. Absolute disgrace for what your getting which is food of dire quality!

Now for the food! I’m afraid to say that it certainly was not worth the wait at all! Every dish was greasy and we found odd bits of crusty tasting bits I still have no idea what they were. Chips were awful. To add insult to injury and make matters worse though my daughter later that evening suffered from severe sickness and diahorrea with excruciating stomach cramps. It got so bad that we had to call the out of hours doctor.

I think as there is a limited choice of Chinese takeaways in Cardigan these guys have the monopoly and consequently service and quality suffers . Next time I would rather drive the 20 minutes journey time to Aberporth or even further to Newcastle Emlyn to get a better service and more satisfying Chinese takeaway. I wouldn’t normally bother taking this much effort to write a review which says it all really. Try at your peril...

Just got our order (No5 6.30pm on 1/5/2022) home,which is a 3 min drive tops …half of it was stone cold!!! Sweet and sour chicken cold,2 of the 4 pancake rolls half cooked on the outside,soggy and cold inside,rice has to be nuked in the micro as it was warm at best,and we all know the dangers of warm rice… There is no excuse for cold or half cooked food,none! And I shouldn’t have to get home and finish it off just to be able to eat it, Time wasn’t an issue as I waited in the car while it was being done and I’d gladly waited 5 more mins and have it well cooked (hot) than be writing...

This was, without exaggeration, one of the worst Chinese takeaways we’ve had. The sweet and sour dish was a sad handful of chewy meat floating in an artificial red sauce, with a token slice of pepper, limp onion, and one lonely bit of pineapple.

The chicken dish was dry, bland, and sat in a puddle of watery liquid — no flavour, no seasoning, nothing fresh about it. Another dish in a dark sauce was just as bad: overly sweet, greasy, and bulked out with boiled onions.

Overall, the food looked unappealing, tasted worse, and was a complete waste of money. We won’t be ordering...
