The best Chinese food we have ever had. Everything so far has been so tasty and generous portions. The staff are lovely too and the shop looks immaculately clean.

Been using this takeaway for many years, quality has been steadily deteriorating frankly for last two years or so. Yesterday evening was last straw, slimy and fatty supposed to be crispy duck. Even dog not impressed. Hasta La Vista.

Excellent meal of king prawn curry and rice, quick and great service, good portion size and very tasty. I don't understand the poor reviews, we have been coming to Happy Palace in Bare for over a decade and the food has always been great. If I had a complaint it would be to bring back the lemon chicken - that was superb! It is always busy so I trust a lot of other customers enjoy the food too.

Absolutely awful watery chicken, no peppers just noodles and we ordered fried rice, but no white rice not was and no prawn crackers, never again. Cooked in dishwasher for sure.

We have had takeaway from the happy palace for many years. The food has remained consistently good quality fresh and good value. The staff are lovely, polite and always seem happy to serve you. Cant say I know of a better Chinese takeaway in the area.

Ordered for myself and friends with children. Great choice of food and portions plentiful. Order correct with no problems at all. Ready to collect in 15 mins. Turned up, Covid safe premises, well organised, food ready. Food piping hot and very tasty indeed. No drama, just good food, ready on time and served by lovely staff.

Ordered a king prawn in Cantonese..asked for no cucumber and no celery...meal came with both, which is no big deal however could of been in other circumstances. The main issue was chewing what I thought was some sort of meat until I realised I’d ordered prawn..pulled it out of my mouth and realised it was some form of plaster/cloth I phoned happy palace calmly explaining the situation, I actually expected my money back but having been offered a ‘big discount next time’ I accepted as I’m not usually one to fuss.. I have just ordered some food tonight (23/11/19) only to find out from the young lady on the phone that my ‘big discount’ is 20% Disappointed is not the word Will not be returning

Curry sauce missing from order when we got home, then rang and they where quite helpful. But ended up driving back for it. The salt and pepper chips are awful and just oven chips, the duck in plumb sauce didn’t taste like plumb sauce. God know what it was. Salt and pepper chicken had 4 pieces of chicken in it. Just generally poor quality food. Wouldn’t recommend at all. 4 seasons it’s far superior and 5 mins away.

Had really nice meals from here in the past but sadly the quality of food as taken a step backwards standard things like chips look and taste like cheap oven chips, the curry sauce looks like it's been added to wallpaper paste. Please get your act together .

We have been using Happy Palace as our first choice go-to takeaway for years but never thought to bother reviewing it until I spotted an unkind write-up that doesn't reflect our experiences inn any way. This is without doubt then best in the area at what they do. We have tried others when they're shut, but they can't hold a candle to Happy Palace. They do need to get up to date with online ordering and decent IT but they can certainly produce good food. My favourite is their Special Fried Rice, to which I usually add a portion of curry sauce and some delicious mixed starters that come in a generous portion. Go elsewhere at your peril!

I ordered sweet and sour pork, boiled rice and bbq spare ribs. The food was delivered reasonably quickly and was hot. However, that is the best I can say about it. The sweet and sour sauce was dreadful. It was gloopy and a bright neon pink colour. The pork in the sauce was fine, so I fished the pieces out of the sauce. The bbq spare ribs were the worse I have ever eaten. The ribs were overdone to the point of being burnt. The meat was tough and dry and the sauce was very salty. I had the impression the ribs had been reheated from the day before and fresh sauce poured over the top. Dog seemed to enjoy it though.

We live quite close to the Happy Palace yet not eaten from there for some time due to disappointment in the past, however tonight's meal was really good my wife and I really enjoyed the spicy ribs, crispy duck and a special spicy chicken dish it is the best Chinese we have had for a long time, good portions and really fresh and flavoursome food could not praise it enough.

We've been having wonderful Chinese food from this place for years and years, this all comes down to the excellent service we have received whilst placing our order, the time promised for the food to arrive (always piping hot when it does) the taste and quality not forgetting the portion sizes which in comparison to some are massive and excellent value for money.The plates at our house do the talking and they're always cleared off with the nods of approval from all the hungry diners, Can't recommend this place enough and time to make yourselves Happy by visiting this palace.

My local Chinese takeaway was closed tonight so I needed to make alternative arrangements. I remember my daughter had tried the happy palace some time ago and thought the meal was good so I thought I would give it a try. I placed my order 1 x chilli sour soup, 1 x special chow mein. Firstly the order process was very good and the speed of delivery of the food was very prompt and after eating the product I now understand why. Firstly I couldn't understand why a takeaway that also does home delivery doesn't have any takeaway menus!!!. Anyway I proceeded to try the soup while there was a chilli flavour the rest of the soup flavour was very bland of flavour, (chilli liquid) regrettably tasted of nothing and was very thick with a thickening agent, very disappointed . Then onto the special chow mein, firstly the portion size was one of the smallest that I've come across ( 1xprawn,1xchicken piece etc) then I came to the reason why my food was served so quick, the carrots was very under cooked, the peppers was also raw / undercooked (while I understand the concept of el denti crisp to the tooth this was too under done) also some of the meat had a bitter burnt taste!, sauce had no strength of flavour or seasoning and the dish was on the cool side. It's very sad that a food establishment on a quiet evening cannot produce a good quality product to compare with its Competitors especially when the premises look to be very clean and in good order. Please chef taste your food before serving! it would make a very big difference to the business, reputation and your customers.

Ordered my Sunday take away off just-eat. Delivery time stated 6:35pm. 6:50pm still no sign so I rang them up, apparently it was out for delivery so I thought fair enough, will be here in a few minutes. Rang a few more times as it never turned up and they still insisted it was on its way - it finally arrived at nearly 8pm. Basically told the driver to take it back and went to another take away. Had food from there before and it wasn't that nice for the price so definitely not going to bother with them again. Order from a more reliable take away as the management of this one is an absolute joke.

Wow how has this place turned so poor it use to be amazing now it's very poor. The food is way over priced and of poor quality very disappointed and the salt and pepper chicken is worst I had in a long time. I use to swear by happy palace no longer will try somewhere else now.

After reading the good reviews on here about this takeaway I thought we would give it a go last night.Bad mistake, ordered fine over the phone and said would be with us within 40-60 mins which is fine and what you would expect to wait.Had to call twice to see where the order was! We was told it is very busy tonight and they are sorry it will be around another 20 mins so we waited.2 Hours and 15 minutes later after ordering we get a call asking if we would still want the order or cancel it, so we canceled it and went else where.Very poor customer service and terrible time to wait.Avoid.

Love the food here, the portions are good and the food tasty. Alittle more expensive than other take aways but worth the extra. The Singapore Noodles are the best we have ever had.

This is the only Chinese takeaway we will use. Before moving to Lancaster we used to drive 16miles round trip )didn't do deliveries to my area)to buy.. Staff are very friendly and very hygiene consideration from handling money. Now living in Lancaster it's by far the best in Lancaster/Morecambe area.

Yuk! Haven’t used Max for a while but fancied a Chinese and thought we would give it another chance as we had guests, but wish we hadn’t. Arrived barely warm and sweaty, presumably we were last delivery on the run. Chicken spring rolls were small but nice. Chicken balls over cooked, salt and pepper chicken and chips both refried to a point they were like rocks and overloaded with onion. Rice and noodles were ok, but the curry sauce was gritty. Really disappointed and won’t be returning, waste of £50!

We sat in the restaurant, Choose the happy hour all you can eat menu , reasonably priced.The starter , poor slightly overcooked , not homemade definitely frozen not very tasty, similar to the frozen selection at Aldi . The main was a lot better ,special fried rice was ok , the sweet and sour chicken was ok , typical takeaway food .. the noodles were ok .

Can't think of anything positive, sweet and sour chicken went to the dogs. Greasy oily chow mein and very slow delivery. Sweet and sour sauce was in an expresso cup. Avoid!
