Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper chips draw repeated praise, with several reviewers calling out the schezuan beef, chicken and pepper in black bean sauce, and soft noodles as regular orders, and one describing starters, mains and sundries as consistently good. Cooking is generally described as quick, and one collection customer notes a missing rice was resolved with a swift redelivery. Against that, a recurring complaint surfaces around inconsistency: multiple diners describe cold chips, chewy or greasy chicken, and a black bean dish called greasy and burnt with slimy veg, with one suspecting a change of cook. Portion size is questioned by one reviewer who found ribs, wings and chips insufficient and under-seasoned. Phone manner draws sharp criticism too, with one reviewer calling the service rushed and another describing being shouted at over a £15 cold food order. Most reviews, though, return to the black bean chicken and salt and pepper dishes as reliable favourites.

“We have some friends in Morley and often have a night out there. We always finish the night with a takeaway from Happy. Best Chinese takeaway food we've ever eaten. Starters,mains and sundries all so good. Wish we had a place like this where we live!!!”

“Ordered at 2148 am writing this review at 2248. I was expecting more than what was delivered. Would of been better ordering each item separately at man wah. Think I had about 3 ribs and 4 chicken wings and about 20chips. Had more veg than chips. After eating all and the prawn crackers still left me hungry. And the lack of salt and pepper seasoning was awful. Women on phone sound rushed and couldn't wait to get me of the phone. Worst takeaway experience I've had”
