About Happiness House
Happiness House is a family-run Chinese takeaway in Chesterfield, at 11 Hollingwood Cres. The menu works through the familiar takeaway range, with rice dishes such as Singapore fried rice, ribs in the form of capital ribs, and beef with mushroom for those who want a stir-fried main. Food is made for collection rather than for sitting in. The same family has run the kitchen for years, and some customers have kept coming back for more than 20 of them.

Customer Review Summary
Egg fried rice is the draw most reviewers return to, called "to die for" by one regular and the only standout by a lukewarm visitor, with special fried rice and Singapore fried rice also named. Close behind are beef and mushroom and HK style sweet and sour chicken, which two reviewers recommend and another says is rammed full of meat, plus chow mein, satay skewers with plenty of sauce, and capital ribs. Several describe long-standing family habits, driving across town to order, and food arriving hot and quick by delivery or collection. The complaints are specific. One reviewer found the prawn toast terribly burnt, the duck chow mein extremely greasy and the special fried rice mostly veg and sauce. Another asked for shredded chilli chicken and received round chicken balls, then got more veg than expected in a sweet and sour with no veg, and says the shop didn't want to know when they phoned. One visitor found the place clean but a little dated. Reviewers who are happy mention a friendly driver delivering on New Year's Eve.

“Prawn toast was terribly burnt. Duck chow mein was extremely greasy and more fat than meat. Special fried rice didn’t have much rice strangely was mostly veg and sauce. Can’t complain with the beef with mushroom or S+S chicken, rammed full of meat. Overall plenty to work on with some good points and bad”
