Happy House in Bedford

Really good Chinese food! Great quality food, well priced and generous portions!

Totally horrible place from the min you go in the door Filthy looking and has not seen maintenance for years. But to make matters worse there was the chefs standing smoking in the kitchen / food area We evacuated faster than we could run Stay clear off this place.

I ordered special fried rice and it was not special at all, the rice was soaked in the sauce and the beef tasted really bad I just wasted my money

I was expecting some good quality food….very little portions of whatever contains meat they will give plenty of rice but not enough meat/prawns/ sea food and also way too much veggies very unnecessary. Not ordering again!

Never ever ever use happy house had live fieses in there food had food poisoning in bed ill for 4 days me & the whole family really true was that bad had to report to trading standards

all the reviews were bad but i had a different experience food arrived in less then 20 minutes the chicken balls were delicious chow main was also amazing and i enjoyed it so much crispy beef was a bit spicy for me but again nothing wrong with it, sweet and sour sauce was okay and so was the curry sauce. This was also very cheap

ordered on uber eats, absolutely terrible service, food took about two hours with terrible communication. the driver would just hang up when we confronted about where our order was, do not recommend!!!!!

Ordered as per normal, satay chicken was not very nice at all, normally it is good, but today it's was awful, tasted like toffee, and the sauce was really runnie.... not nice at all. Curry was bland as well . Not good, disappointing. May have to rethink ordering from there in future.

Actually got a takeaway! Starters were dry and over done and food had an after taste, like it was cooked at lunch time and left out!

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. Ordered my food, delivery guy was so rude, basically threw the food at me. Food was rotten, actually rotten. Sauce tasted like soap, we demanded a refund as we paid £30, they refused. We took the food back to them as you could see where the mould/rotten bits were. They couldn’t care less. Still didn’t get a refund. This place needs shutting down. Definitely would have got food poisoning from them.

Would be nice if they actually delivery my meal. Asked for 8.30, was told 8.55. Now by some miracle it's 9.25. Shoddy service and won't be using again (assuming I actually get a delivery of food that's been paid for).

Food was cold dry and not this same like before

Rubbish, cold and bad quality go to canton on tavi

Will not order from here again very unhappy house

By far, the best out there. Take away only.

I wouldn’t recommend ordering online they always take an hour or over to deliver. Complete waist of time.

It's normally quiet good but unfortunately on my last visit the chicken in the sweet and sour was really dry

Really lovely tasty food for a good price I would definitely go again

Just ordered food was really disgusting all went to the bin DO NOT ORDER HERE 🤮🤮

i ordered twice from this takeaway, food was NICE! Delivery Was fast! i love won ton soup its my favorite ! i recommend this place! good quality food, good prices generous portions!

Our food was swimming in grease to the point that it’s inedible. I rang the restaurant and they refused the refund and offered us a measly discount for next time. The restaurant asked us to send photos to their email but they gave a fake email! The photos bounced both times I tried to send it! Don’t order from here, it’s a scam! Definitely the last time we waste our money.

This isn’t just the worst Chinese I’ve ever eaten. It’s the worst food I’ve ever eaten. I’m shocked how bad it was.

Ordered here tonight. Food took a long while to arrive but Saturday evening understandable. Food OMG bland greasy and ended up having to bin over half of it. To top it off now me my wife and son are all having bad stomachs and cramps. When we rang them, they were rude disrespectful and hung up on us. £61.30 for a takeaway that's now made us feeling ill and they don't want to even speak to us.

Food contaminated with insects and hair, contacted the restaurant and their response was to chuck away the parts of food which was contaminated. £70 worth of food binned as they also refused to collect it. Refund requested but just eat and the restaurant have refused the request. Will be taking this further until I get my money back.

Really enjoyed nice Chinese food.

Delicious food and the ambience was the bestest

The delivery was quick and food was hot and fresh, Definitely recommend

Had a good time with family. Delicious food. Loved it

Delicious, I come back again. It’s nice food. The salt pepper chicken wings so yummy. Cappuccino 🍺🍺

Rice was soggy and clumped together. Sweet and sour sauce had far too much white wine vinegar in. Chicken balls were so greesy. Chicken curry sauce was runny and carrots not cooked.

Well recommend 5*, fast delivery and great food!

Avoid this place at all costs, rude and ignorant staff, awful food, attempted to increase advertised price and charge extra for a card payment. Was advised there was a cash machine convenience store a few doors up but they’ll charge too. Appalled!!

Has to be the worst Chinese food ever. Prawn balls raw inside. HK sweet n sour chicken sauce so sweet it was inedible, chicken balls also raw inside. Chow mien no flavour other than burnt. Mushroom curry so watery and tasteless. Beef tough and flavourless. We will never order from here again. Not cheap either

Ordered food which arrived an hour and 20 minutes later. Not acceptable

Amazing tasty Chinese food in Bedford

First time ordering from this restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised. Arrived early, well packaged and hot. Quality ingredients and good flavours.

Really tasty Chinese food, fantastic service, will definitely order again

Nice quality Chinese food , we ordered few dishes for family and friends from happy house Chinese takeaway in bedford . That was amazing and nice tasty .

Excellent food, friendly staff . 5 star food rating and very much lives up to it .

Just been here have some delicious Chinese food. Singapore fried rice so delicious, all my children like it. Thank you

I order Chicken kung poo and we find hair in side

Average food, soggy, overcooked chips and over an one hour wait for delivery after ringing them twice to chase up our order.

Soggy chicken balls, pancake rolls were nice, sweet an sour sauce was nasty, mushroom fried rice came with egg in it! Who puts a filthy chicken period in mushroom fried rice? If I wanted egg fried rice I would have ordered it. Also, took about 90 minutes to come. Steer clear. Just go to Lee's.

Great food. They are very popular though so expect a wait to get the food.

Not my normal Chinese (Hoitin) takeaway but needless to say very nice meal ..

Said to me 30 mins for food then said another 30 mins then said 15-20 mins and overall too 2 hours at 10 minutes for my food to come and was freezing cold and most probably the worst experience I’ve had , would definitely not recommend and I’m very disappointed as I only ordered 4 items!!!!!

The worst takeaway ever, disgusting 🤮 We actually threw it away… rishes we’re oily, duck was all fat no meat, even prawn crackers were hard and not fresh… Never ever will I order from here and a scandal that Uber eats using Happy House as it’s terrible… shame on the chefs there

Can’t actually review the food as it never turned up. They’d allegedly tried to deliver but as I’m the only house in the area and no one rang the bell or knocked they were just lying. When I did speak to them they just said my only option was to cancel, so don’t think they actually ever attempted to deliver. Terrible service but looking at the rest of the reviews it looks like I got a lucky escape! Will never attempt to use them again.

Not the best. Bbq was like salty water. Sweet and sour sauce was like out a jar. Did not eat most of it as just did not enjoy it. Would not use again

i love the food here, always proper portions and quality ingredients - suitable prices too. the service is always good here, really polite and friendly. staff are always a pleasure, my food consistently comes quickly and is absolutely flawless- try the chow mein and the sesame prawn toast.

Best Chinese takeaway shop in bedford.

order food.. shop adds another 45 min wait..call to cancel tells me don't worry we be with you in 15.. 30 mins pass, oh we need another 15. Food all comes cold and a flat bottle of coke.

Flavourless everything soiled in oil not curry sauce with chicken curry it's in oil and veg over takes chicken I had a handful.of chicken to veg in a pot and everything was bland. Don't order through uber eats as currently on the phone for refund and it proving very difficult! Would not recommend this place at all absolutely awful

Not sure what all the bad reviews are about - I love Happy House and order from there often. Great food and reliable service

Ordered takeaway, it arrived really quickly. Good size portions. Ordered for 2. Cost less than £30 and there’s enough for tomorrow too. Dealt with my food allergy easily.

The food tastes okay, the rice was hot, but the salt and pepper chili wasn't, and it was extremely salty, not balanced with pepper, bit other than that okay just a wee bit greasier than the regular Chinese. So very greasy and very salty and the Banana Fritters looked like slugs😆

Avoid at all costs!!!!! I chased the order when it was late and was told it’s on the way - distance to travel 1 mile. Should have been delivered at 7.30pm - and the Just Eat site said it had been delivered at 7.30 - just didn’t say where it was delivered to at that time. Phone was nearly permanently engaged but when I got through they said it was on the way, just been cooked. Arrived at 8.20 and the driver confirmed it had just been cooked. Can’t think why the dishes were luke warm!! Perhaps they had run out of gas. AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AT ALL COST! ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!!!!

Would give it a minus 20! The only reason I've ordered is because it was literally the only restaurant open at that time. The chow main tasted like expired curry! The vegetables looked like they were left in the freezer for at least 2 it 3 years and the noodles were sogy and filled with mistery slime, oh and the bread was just English fried bred with some sesame seeds on top. Literally the worse on Earth you could order food from! Please, do not waste your money and time like I did!

We ordered from here through Uber eats. The food was tasteless and the sauces watery. What topped off the awful food was us finding something unsavoury in the chicken balls. God knows what it is and it certainly shouldn’t have been there. Disgusting food and now we feel it’s a dirty unclean place. Will never order from here again!

Would review the food but unfortunately didnt get that far. 0 not an option. Decided to chase the order after half an hour and gave up after an hour and a half. The restaurant were either engaged or not answering their phone. Just Eat had declared the food had arrived and then that it had closed We appreciated that New years would be incredibly busy so put in an order at about 5.30 which was accepted. Such a disappointment to our new year. Happy 2021 Happy House. You tried very hard to ruin our evening!

Where do I start, single handedly the worst takeaway I have ever eaten lots of fat and chewy jelly. £58 spent and will never order from there again!!! Shocking!!

This was a take away for delivery order. Food arrived promptly. However, we found the food unappetizing and didn't enjoy it. It was very chewy and lacked flavour. The quantities were not generous. The Happy House describe themselves as providing the best Chinese food in Bedford. In our opinion it was the worst Chinese meal we have ever eaten! It is also overpriced. The rice was missing from the order, (£7). I telephoned to complain and was offered a credit against the next order. I explained that I would not be ordering again as the food was disappointing and thereby wished to have the £7 reimbursed. They said this would be processed through Just Eat - but to date this has not happened. Not recommended.

Dont order it from here was waiting for two hours nobody os answering the phone

I have ordered multiple times from this place and can say each time has been early and food piping hot and delicious, today wasn't the same experience which was a shame they where half and hour late and got the impression had been sat waiting for someone to delivery as was warm and a little soggy. I will definitely order again in future but hope ther eisnt a repeat of this evening

Can never get through on the phone. Always late, food is cold. Won't be using again.

If you are expecting a decent meal on time with good customer service then go to one of the other Chinese takeaway's in Bedford because this one should come with a government health warning 🙄 I would recommend Hoi Tin - why I didn't go to them tonight is beyond me!! AND this morning (27.09.20) I got a text from just eat telling me the restaurant wouldn't refund me because they gave something free from the menu - I only received what I had ordered!!

Extremely unprofessional. Phone number did not work AT ALL. There were no updates left on my order, so I had only found out that my food was delayed by ANOTHER HOUR at the same time my order was meant to arrive originally. Unhappy

Waited over 2 and a half hours after numerous calls with no answer food arrived. Not even an apology upon arrival and food cold. Apparently too many just eat orders #soundslikeayouproblem

Ordered nearly £70 worth of food...... the sweet and sour sauce had too much white wine vinegar, chilli beef tasted microwaved and gone off. The Kong po chicken tasted reheated and rubbery and the chicken curry chicken was very rubbery and tasted reheated. The chips were awful. Unfortunately this was not a nice experience. Our family have worked in the food industry for years and would not normally complain.

Ordered via just eat. Arrived over 30 minutes late! Did call the restaurant to chase it up however, the lady (would use a stronger word) hung up on me. Then when I tried numerous times again to call and chase up my order, she then pretended that she couldn't hear me, wouldn't talk until I spoke, and then told me the driver left 20 minutes ago. If this was true and the driver was lost, then why didn't I get a phone call, to tell me so that i could advise on directions??!! When food eventually arrived, the plain noodles were dry, the chicken ball were cold, the spring rolls were cold, the prawn toast were very soggy and the Thai green lamb curry was tough and sauce was very watery. If I was to give advice to anyone wanting to order from here, DON'T. It is by far the worst Chinese we've ever had and will not be ordering here again!

Wife ordered food that we are still waiting for. Over 15 minutes late so far. Finally arrived 30 mins late aprox. Some of it cold. The prawn crackers were the best bit.

I ordered chicken rice and king prawn rice fried and both all them looked horrible. The chicken rice fried was burned and didn't taste good.I throw it all in the been.This was my last order in Happy House Restaurant.

Absolutely awful. Had to put all food in the bin. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. wish I could post pictures of the disgusting food we have just had delivered. waste of money

Me and my boyfriend, thought the food was poor quality, noodles been left for few days and look cheap. Satay chicken was dry. I would say that food been brought cheaply and put a high price. It’s a poor quality It’s so expensive too We brought beef chow main Chicken balls Egg fried rice Ribs bbq (it was dry)

Ordered from Just Eat, an hour after the delivery time stated it still had not arrived, tried to call, they did not answer, spent nearly seventy quid and never saw the food. Absolutely appalling, do not order from here. Disgusting organisation. Will absolutely never use them ever again. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE

Food arrived 35 minutes late, wrong food sent,sauce leaked from containers all over the bag so food was dry,chips missing,rang them up and the person on the phone seemed like she didn't understand.wont be using them again

I wish that I had read the reviews before ordering from here. The food was DISGUSTING my wife and I had a few mouthfuls and then binned it the sauce in the chop suey is beyond description I've never tasted anything so FOUL. And to top it all my wife and I have had upset stomachs. Thank God we didn't eat it all. PLEASE AVOID HAPPY HOUSE!!!

Me and my partner had food poisoning I'm still suffering days later. The cans of coke was hot when there meant to be room temperature or cold. I always use to order from here but now I'm never doing it again specially after this experience. The chow mein looked burnt the onions were burnt, the chicken tasted odd, the curry sauce was clumpy. It just wasnt nice at all. The only good thing about this was the food was hot.

Quick delivery, but I ordered a dish with just noodles, beansprouts, mushrooms and no onions. A massively spicy dish with a ton of onions arrived so I rang back and asked for the correct dish. Another dish arrived drowning in sauce and a ton of onions. Seem unable to take simple orders. I gave up. Shan't use again.

Just wish I had looked at these reviews before placing my order for a takeaway. Order submitted just after 6pm, and initially told order would arrive around 7.05pm. When no order arrived, contacted the restaurant I was informed that the kitchen was running 1 hour late. No apology just my food would arrive late, I should have cancelled my order then as 1 hour and a half later still no delivery. I tried to get in touch with the restaurant and had a continuous engaged tone. Then almost 2 and a half hours late the food did arrive, I refused it and now both the restaurant and Just Eat are refusing to give me a refund. Do not use at all costs. Rude and unapologetic.

Placed an order via Just Eat. It is currently an hour and a half past the delivery time which they confirmed, and no sign of my food. Restaurant staff rude and unhelpful.

Awful awful awful. Food was over 90mins late. Called the restaurant to cancel and they hung up on me. Shocking service. Will never use again.

Ordered from no food arrived no one picks up the phone now I’m going to the shop absolute joke 🤬

Please Please Please read the reviews before ordering ... First time ordering from here as our usual is shut . Will not order again even if it’s the only Chinese open in a radius of 50 miles . Awful food & trying to order over the phone was an ordeal in itself .

Should have read the reviews on here before placing an order! Food was meant to take an hour, after an hour and half still hadn't arrived, called solidly for 20 min, when the phone finally rang, it was lifted and slammed back down. After 2 hours waiting with some very upset and hungry children, I used the live chat on the just eat app and they offered to refund. Take away is a joke.

Over an hour late. Sent them away

Can please just give 0 stars? Ordered a takeaway before 5pm. At 7.20pm tried repeatedly calling to see where it was and just got an engaged tone. Then at 8pm it changed status to delivered.... We are still with out food, with no way to contact them.

Order was meant to be 19.45, multiple calls to restaurant, eventually told order had been delivered ( it hadn’t). It is now 22.09. We expect a full refund. We don’t know what has happened they always used to be on time

Wasn’t awful just wasn’t amazing would rather wait longer for a nicer chinese. I would say it was average,dEfiNiTLeY not the best in Bedford. I would recommend going to the pearl.

Best Chinese in bedford I think x

Mrs ordered from here tonight bland bland food avoid at all cost

Not sure what's happened here but the place was always really good. Tonight however it was gross. Flavourless dishes, the noodles were oily and salty, sauces were like dish water. Will never use again.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.. USE AT YOUR PERIL

Used happy house tonight for the first time. The food was disgusting. No flavour to any part of any dish! Never again.

Lady at counter don't like serving Indians, She never gives Complementary Prawn Crakers if your Indian🤬.

I was recommended to call this restaurant my first experience is that I am very disappointed the phone is engaged or when it is ringing no one can be bothered to answer. I have been trying for 30 min because this place was recommended however my experience has been very poor

Avoid this place at all costs. I have been very very ill for 8 weeks since eating here. I am not sure how much I can say but I have been contacted by Bedford Health people so I presume they will be inspecting the place again. I wish I could write what I really want to say but do not know the legality of writing what I have gone through. But I would never set foot in there again. They should be closed down with immediate effect. As it is not fair to make other people go through what I have. I find it strange only take cash. As if I could have paid by card I would have evidence of eating there and would sue them for what has now happened to my health long term

Very nice food and u getting much more for regular price than anywhere else!!!!

As expected proper Chinese food
