Quick info
About Happy Garden
Happy Garden is a Chinese takeaway on the A472 in Newport, working on a walk-in basis with orders placed and queried by phone with the shop. The menu runs through familiar Chinese dishes including chicken curry, chicken fried rice and king prawn in garlic sauce, with chips served alongside the curry sauce. Curry sauce and BBQ sauce are both recurring orders among returning customers, many of whom order on a weekly basis. The business has recently come under new management, with changes made to portions and recipes. Payment is cash only, so it is worth arriving prepared. Opening runs Wednesday to Sunday in the evenings only, with the shop closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Customer Review Summary
Curry sauce with chips is the most repeated draw, praised alongside the chicken curry and chicken fried rice, though one diner finds the sauce a bit on the spicy side. Barbecue sauce comes close behind, and several describe delivered food arriving hot, fresh and quick, with one noting it is not greasy. Staff are called friendly and polite by a few. The main complaint centers on new management. One longtime fan says the chip portions shrank and the curry and barbecue sauces taste watered down, and another reports very salty food and a price increase. Two reviewers describe rude service. One was met with a cold, unwelcoming reception on a first visit. The other received chicken in spicy garlic sauce instead of the king prawn in garlic sauce ordered, then got bad attitude when phoning the shop back about it.

“Fantastic Chinese takeaway, great tasting food.”

“Always Been a fan of Happy Garden's food however recently under new management.. Was shocked to see they have cut there chip portion size down.. They have watered there BBQ sauce down and there Curry sauce. However over - all was still nice but not as I remembered. Hope they can bring it back the way it used to be. I will be returning as i have had much worse from other restaurants... Just hope the new management dont make changes otherwise it will put regular customers off.”
