The Happy Villa is a Chinese takeaway at 97-101 Cushendall Rd in Ballymena. Orders are placed at the counter, where staff work the tills. The kitchen cooks a familiar takeaway range, including chicken curry and chicken chow mein, with fried rice, chips and noodles as the usual sides. Chicken satay and crispy chicken in honey chilli sauce sit alongside them for those who want something with more sauce, and Peking sauce is part of the choice too.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the food itself, with chicken satay and crispy chicken in honey chilli sauce named as personal favourites, alongside fried rice, soft noodles and chips that one reviewer calls really good. Chicken curry with chicken chow mein gets a "fantastic" from another, and a newer peking sauce recipe is singled out as the best in town. Quick delivery, excellent portions and reasonable prices come up repeatedly, and several describe the counter staff as friendly and polite, with one crediting the woman serving them for most of a three star rating. One reviewer found the curry average and orange in colour, and called the rice and chips ordinary.

“There was an order placed tonight , not a small one ither total was £54.60 and items were missing from the order , when the bill was being settled it went up to 64.60 a phone call was made to inform the business of the mistake the response we got from the girl on the phone was appalling making accusations and totally denying everything will not be back”

“Right, where do I even start? This place is an absolute disgrace and I’m saying that because they overpaid me and my friends.The order was under the name G twigg.total was simply £54 pound and when the last kid had to pay her bit he overcharged her. When we rang the Chinese the girl who answered was nothing but rude and had no interest in helping us at all. Absolute disgrace and want our money back but of course they didn’t want to cooperate. I wouldn’t recommend this Chinese.”
