About Happy Wok

Happy Wok is a Chinese takeaway at 25 East St in Colchester. It opens Tuesday to Sunday, evenings only, and is closed on Mondays. The Chinese menu includes Singapore noodles and Singapore fried rice, both of which customers order, alongside a run of curry dishes that takes in chicken curry. Curry sauce is on the menu as well, so the curry choices extend beyond a single dish and sit on the same list as the Singapore dishes.

Customer Review Summary

The complaints carry real weight. Several find the food bland or basic: salt and chilli chicken came with only a sprinkle of chilli flakes, the Shanghai prawns tasted of water, and the satay sauce had little peanut taste. Others report tough duck, an odd-tasting chilli beef, and a poor chicken curry. One diner ordered Singapore noodles and received a cheaper standard rice version. Timing also draws criticism, including a delivery promised in 40 minutes that took over an hour, and another order that took over an hour but arrived warm. One reviewer found undercooked meat in a chow mein, and the takeaway came out and swapped it.

    “May be called the happy wok, but I remain unhappy. Bang average food, ordered and paid for Singapore noodles, got standard (cheaper version) rice dry, curry sauce cheap tasting, not a great 2 weeks for me and taekaways. More and more chinese takeaways today are using cheap nasty ingredients I find”

    “I wont be ordering from here again! The duck was tough, the chili beef had a weird taste to it! Very disappointed”
  • Liz Diss
    “No flavour on anything. Salt and chilli chicken with fresh chilli's was just a sprinkle of chilli flakes. The shanghai prawns tasted of water. The satay sauce had hardly any peanut taste. Very disappointed.”
  • Lesley Scotchmer
