Nestled in Daventry, this Chinese takeaway has garnered a spectrum of opinions. While some patrons rave about the vibrant flavors and freshness of the dishes, highlighting standout items like crispy beef and chicken and pineapple, others report disappointing experiences marred by long wait times and poorly executed meals.

Was davidfX2110ZB at Happy Chef a mag?
Just had first take away from happy chef. Did phone order , ready in 30 minutes , it was quite busy when I got there It's mainly take away but you can sit inside , a few bench like tables. Fried chicken wings for starters were fab, plenty of them. I had special curry and rice for main , plenty of mixed meat. No parking out front if your picking up View all feedback.

What Beezy102 dislikes about Happy Chef:
Definitely would not recommend. Firstly we made an order of only 3 items which we were told would arrive in 30 mins, one hour later and still no food. Rang up the restaurant in which the staff were impolite and managed the situation poorly. Once the food arrived it was cold, chicken balls were pink inside and was missing pancakes for the duck. Very disappointed in such a highly rated restaurant. Told us there was no... View all feedback.

My family LOVED the food from this place. We got take out although went in to order it. Place seemed clean and well cared for, while the two young men behind the counter were very patient with my sister, who took her sweet time deciding. Portions were generous and my family all agreed it was absolutely delicious. They had a chow mein, a beef and mushroom dish, chips, lots of rice, a starter for two and much more. My Dad ADORED their seaweed. Everything was very well cooked and presented, plus we got some free prawn crackers. We will definitely be back!!

Very disappointed in such a highly rated restaurant. Told us there was no manager in store only to then be put on the phone to him. For our troubles he offered to enter us in a Christmas raffle. Not satisfied.

We come here every so often on our lunch break at work. The service is always good, the lunch time menu is good value for money and plenty of choice. If it is busy service can sometimes be slower as there is only 1 member of staff serving and taking orders.
