Happy Valley Chinese Takeaway in Welwyn Hatfield

I felt homey taste… lovely noodles 🍜.. for Chinese food … highly recommended happy valley ..

Beautiful food and people, couldn’t suggest anything to improve

Great food, friendly conversation on ordering food and very reliable delivery service. Missed them when they on Vacation lol

I got the lunch box meal deal…. I’ve been getting food from here for the past 10+ and their food is amazing. Great people owners are so nice as well the quality is outstanding…in my opinion best Chinese takeaway in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Food always taste fresh. Shop is beautiful has been renovated so you can sit in and eat as well.

Foods delicious! Fast delivery!

Delicious, great portions and very well priced!

Amazing Chinese takeaway - portions are great, price is good - food is quality, it’s not greasy- properly made dishes - chicken balls amazing as well as their shredded deep fried beef. Had it last night first time, definitely having it again !

Food taste super nice, also comes in a large portion with an affordable price. Thanks for the service

Love the place. The food is great

One of the best Chinese takeway ever rated. I done over 200 Chinese takeway around UK this time decide to do review from personal account becouse they deserve it. Taste and size of portion are 9.5/10. If you looking real Taste they are best place where you can find. Highly recommended.

THE BEST CHINESE EVER! This is not even exaggerated , me and my boyfriend love this place , the food is outstanding! We always get the salt and pepper chicken, special spicy chicken, mixed veggies in garlic sauce, chicken noodle soup and egg fried rice. Finger licking good.

The shop front improves significantly since relocating to this new building. Clean and bright interior. Food is good but only from the Chinese specialty menu. It would be easier to specify dietary preferences and/or requirements if converse in Mandarin/Cantonese. The offering is good value for money for dine in experience as portion sizes are slightly larger than usual takeaway .

Having been recommended by one of the locals who said it was the best fresh Chinese food around we tried, she was right. That was the best Chinese food my boyfriend and I have ever eaten. Cooked to perfection. On top of that, lovely lady taking the order and guy delivering. Win win! Only problem for us is we live 4 hours away. We will definitely go back and stay in the area again just to eat there though.. Yep, that good !

Family run gem 💎 Great food, service and lunch time special to eat in is excellent 👍

Waited 40 minutes spent 20 pound on oven chips greasy chicken balls ,chowmain ok,, best thing was the crackers , used to be so good now average at best !

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Hatfield, Friendly staff, great value for money

Gone downhill massively. Lads behind the counter polite and helpful but food quality is very poor. Duck used in Roast Duck Chinese style was incredibly thin and tough and served in a bland sauce. The new chips are not a patch on the old style. I ordered collection and the food was still given to me lukewarm.

Fantastic food, great portion, friendly service and delivery. Best Chinese I have ever eaten and the quality was fantastic. Fresh produce. Highly recommend

The special spicy beef in black bean sauce was delicious! Unfortunately, I did order the Singapore Chow Mein and received a regular Chow Mein instead. This was a bit disappointing, as I had really been looking forward to that specifically today. I understand that it must be a busy Friday though. Other than that, food was lovely and delivery driver friendly.

Their portions are the largest in hatfield. And can feed 2 people.

This is the only Chinese takeaway we have ever used since living here in 2017 it’s been so good we don’t need to try anywhere else

Best chinese food ever. Consistently good. Large portions. Good value for money. Friendly staff and can eat in if you like aswell!

Attentive staff and fast, delicious and wallet friendly food

Friendly staff and great tasting food at reasonable prices

This was my favourite Chinese but it seems now to cut back on quality ? The pork balls are not as big as they was ? Just over priced themselves to other Chinese takeaways in the area ?. I will not be ordering again ?

Great food, great prices and great staff. Always friendly, always happy to help. Been going for nearly 20 years and haven't had a bad meal so far. Highly recommend for great Chinese food and fish and chips

Repeat customer. Very tasty and excellent quality, large portions so effectively 20 quid (three dishes) pays for delicious food for two of us for two days! Delivered to the door. (Chinese, like Indian food, is of course even better on day2) <3 x Chopsticks on request!

Greasy food. Not surprised that all the workers are obese.

best chinese food i’ve had in my life! however, i’ve only been here once. amazing portion sizing, amazing packaging, taste was amazing!! price wasn’t the cheapest you can find but definitely worth it for the quality. i will be returning very soon, thank you

Really excellent Chinese shop, and great food. The owners are super friendly and approachable. Would definitely recommend!

BEST CHINESE TAKEAWAY... ..........Lovely food 😋 .......always amazed how quickly its delivered and it tastes great.

Lovely food and friendly staff 🙂🙂

Delicious food, the best takeaway place around! Sweet and sour chicken, special chaw mein and roasted duck in particular are very nice.The owners are lovely too. Sometimes they add prawn crackers or fortune cookies to orders.

Absolutely amazing mushroom chow mein, tofu in black bean sauce, fish and chips just to name some of their dishes. Used to hate Chinese but eventually decided to give it another go after many years. So happy we’ve tried this place.Their portions are very generous, food is served hot and delicious! Once you order it it’s usually 10-15 minutes before you can collect and not much longer for delivery. Everyone working there has so far been super friendly to us! Will be definitely coming back again and again!

Sometimes, their chips are just incredible and the absolute best in the area. However, sometimes if you order from 5pm-6pm they are serving reheated lunch time chips where are disgusting. They are hard, stale and you throw away a £3 portion after 2 chips. It is the same with the curry sauce, after 6pm or at lunch time it tastes lovely but between 5-6 it tastes diluted as if they just added water to make more from what is left. It would be nice if they considered vegans more. Vegan mock duck is 1.60 a can, they could make that as a pancake meal with cucumber, spring onions and pancakes for £7-£8 and make profit.

I had high hopes because this place has 4 stars but it really doesnt even deserve one. It looks really ugly from the outside not to mention the spelling mistake- "vallely" and not "valley"- and it wouldn't be a problem if it was the only sloppy thing about this so called restaurant. The food looks manky and greasy, i only got fish and chips though because it seemed like the only seemingly good thing there. The chips were STALE and disgusting, but the portion was good probably because they want to get rid of old food. Don't waste your money here, you're better off getting a meal deal at the post office.

Good customer service! The staff were very friendly and enjoyed the food very much!

The food looks sloppy, they have 0 care for presentation not to mention how cluttered and untidy it looks even from the outside there's clutter in the windows, and when you walk by there's a pungent smell that doesn't even smell like food. I walked in and got some fish and chips, which somehow managed to be soggy and stale tasting at the same time. The fish was a joke too, it was literally a scrap of cod in a load of batter. Don't waste your money here, it's a shame because the owners seem sweet.

The food was disgusting and greasy, though the portions are quite large so you're really paying for quantity and not quality. It was cold on top, i won't attatch photos to spare this excuse of a takeaway shop some dignity. Its also very dirty when you walk in and it reeks of oil. I don't understand how it got a 4 on the hygiene scale, it's pathetic. I'll update this if i have to go to the hospital for food poisoning. Do not get any food from herr, i would reccommend RiceTime if you would like some edible chinese that isn't greasy. Absolute joke of a restaurant.

Ordered a few times before and food was nice, but today I had to change my review since the food was so bad. Ordered roast pork and duck in soy sauce and ended up with a medley of 70% vegetables and large chunks of onions, a few bits of a duck, chicken and dry pork in yellow bean sauce. It was like they just threw together what was left of that day and tried to disguise it. Photos also had a lot more onions before the photo was taken. Won't be ordering from here again.

Just got my large cod at home, no joke 3 mouthfuls of cod all just batter. Food was really oily and nasty. Wont be Ever going back.

I was introduced by a friend since 2019 and I still haven’t had enough,QUALITY as well as QUANTITY. “Chefs Special Fried rice, Moderate Spice and Soy Sauce XL” I sing those words in my sleep now . No friend has ever tasted the food and not request their order number. Sadly they only take cash. And Super friendly Staff, LOVE IT.

Great Chinese and well portioned.

Some nice food but had better. Service is quick and friendly. Love pork chow mein.

Best Chinese around. Huge portions, friendly staff and always delivered on time.

Favourite place to buy food! We have way more good days together ! Love it

I am always amazed how quickly its delivered and it tastes great. Crispy shreded beef is pretty good more often than not, it is crispy ! And this makes a difference , portions are good too. I would have given 5 stars but you guys need to keep an eye on the cucumber / spring onions that come with the duck they can be a bit tired . Looking forward to you bei g open again soon after the lockdown

bit expensive. but good quality food. just a shame the delivery people are so rude. u have to pay 40p to change the sauce!! the delivery guy would normally step into my house without my persmission! and block the door so neither of us can get out. i decided to just walk all the way from the gallaria to hilltop and back to get my food, instead of being harrased by the delivery guy. its not happy valleys fault but they shouldd change delivery people.

Great chinese with fantastic flavour. Lovely staff and good portions and will miss sadly during next month because of Corona Virus Please open back up soon.

We travelled a bit further for this after reading the reviews were quite good. It was horrendous. Chips- greasy/undercooked/went in the bin untouched Prawn toast- greasy/undercooked Beef curry - slimey There was nothing about this food that was nice. It went in the bin. And treat night didn’t happen.

Always great food, friendly service and generous portion sizes. Definitely recommended

This is me after eating at HAPPY VALLEY CHINESE TAKE AWAY FISH & CHIPS!! Epic!!

No flavour. Wasted £26. I'd give no stars if I could :(

went here tonight for the first time and i am not disappointed. the food is amazing and the portions are massive - i am really pleased with my takeaway

A place where you can get SPICY, hot and fresh food.

What a gem! We won a £10 voucher at the local school summer fete and used it instead of going to the oriental Express in the village just to try it out. The food was lovely... hot, tasty and very little grease (unlike oriental Express!!) We will be going back for certain; definitely worth the drive

It’s good chines food in budget.

5 Star! I live around the corner and have been buying food from Happy Valley Chip Shop for years and they are allways lovely! Today I got there half hour before they closed and order fish cake and chips and the lovely lady gave me 2 fish cakes because they was closing soon! Nothing but good people and good food! <3

Altogether, one of if not the best chinese in all of hatfield. The container sizes are massive at a reasonable price and the food is always hot and delicious. Sometimes there is no wait for food, but sometimes it is busy, but it's always ALWAYS worth the wait. Highly recommend if you want an incredle chinese or fish and chips in Hatfield!

Love this place one of the best Chinese Ive been to, portion sizes are good value for the money. The food is always really nice and very friendly staff.

Whenever I get a surprise visit from friends, I always go for take away order in this place apart from its reasonable price their food is also “Appetising” and “Flavoursome” I would highly suggest the Crispy Aromatic Duck served with pancake, cucumber and spring onion and sauce! Definitely a great take away

Best fish & chips / Chinese in Hatfield! Fast service, very good prices.

lovely Chinese staffs, and very tasty food.

Big portion of food! Delicious!

Large portion of food! Nice and yummy!! Best in the Hatfield and will definitely come again next time! Me and my wife love the food very much! Highly recommended!

For ood over priced a little and tonight of all nights valentine night it was delivered late hour and a half and only 1 driver remarkable plus by the time the food came it was cold ordered a few times and has been very good

Got a Chinese from here last night i went to pick up my first time going here as just moved to the area, the place looks run down the old chap looks grubby !! it did not look clean to me but i still ordered my food. When i got home me and the wife started to tuck in as we was starving our pork balls was undercooked still pink in the middle the wife could not eat anymore of her Chinese !!! What a waste of money the rice dish was very expensive way over the top. I will be not using these again. Going to try the one in Welham Green next time as i heard they are good

Best Chinese take away. Lovely staff and huge portions for the price

Excellent...the food i had delivered tonight was absolutely gorgeous....I will be buying from here again....

By far the best Chinese in not only Hatfield but Hertfordshire. The owner Yinya really cares and loves her customers, going above and beyond time and time again.

this place don't deserve any stars. food don't have any taste, food is not to hot, food is not fresh. looks like was just boiled with only water. no salt, or paper. NOTHING!!!! I call the take away place they give me the owners phone number. call him and he say he is coming to my work place to "SEE THE FOOD" after I just paid 36.90 pounds for this horrible food. this places that call them self a restaurant or a take away restaurant, I don't know how they can be still open. sometimes I feel ashamed of being a chef because of this "CHEFS, THAT DONT KNOW HOW TO COOK."

Delicious food great place to get a takeaway or a prompt delivery to my home

Far and away the best Chinese in Hatfield, very friendly staff, very tasty food, and large portions

Horibble a and dirty place...., someone should check that out before someone die from food poisoning..., keep away!!!!!

Lemon chicken is hard and lemon sauce is like jelly, waste of money, food was only just warm, even the chicken ball are not nice in fact the whole lot of our meal was discusting

Shiver me timbers the food was amazing

Ugly Food. We took few different meals for 4 people and no one liked it. Waste of money. Stay away. I recommend ChinaSky (best in hatfield) or RiceTime. If you go ChinaSky try Kung Po Chilli Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken Hong Kong Style, Shredded Chicken Chow Mein, Mixed Vegetable Fried Rice

Big portions, friendly staff, cheap pompared to some others.

Delicious food and good price! Favorite chinese take away restaurant!

won't deliver 2 miles down the road

The staff are amazing and super friendly!

Full of colour and flavour best chinese for miles.

I regularly have takeaway from here - the portions are often too much! food is always hot and everything I have had is excellent - my favourite is the mixed meat udon and the sweet and sour hong kong style dishes are very good

The staff are very friendly and happy to help. The food is served with a good standard and comes in large portions. The prices are very fair especially for the fish and chips.

the food is just horribly cooked. very bad ingredients and the food has similar smell.to dog food. don't go see a few pounds

Fantastic food. Friendly service , good prices

Great lunch deals, reasonably priced and huge portion sizes.

Amazing food, always fresh! Express delivery! Best food ever

Great food (especailly the fish) and friendly staff.

Food for a fast and good fix near college lane

Friendly staff (except the guy in the hat... But he's ok). Good food, good prices and short waiting times.

chinese food is delicious and delicicious Curry meal is also very delicious

Best chinese ever. Since under new management i cannot fault them. Super friendly staff and delivery man.

This takeaway has seen a variety of owners, after the food started deteriorating we moved to another takeaway in Hatfield. However, we ventured back to Happy Valley last year and were so impressed that we haven't looked back since. The food is amazing, very tasty, good portion sizes, and a generous ratio of meat all served in authentic Chinese boxes.

Quite expensive even just for rice. Tried a few dishes here with chicken where instead of just normal bits of chicken like other places would use, it came with tiny pieces of chicken deep fried, coated in batter like you often get kung po chicken. So barely any chicken in dishes that other places have generous servings of proper bits of meat. Not what I was after! The staff are friendly and the flavours of food are pretty good though. Better value for money elsewhere but main customers look to be students who don't seem to mind They do fish and chips too. Only had the chips before but they were pretty good

very good food, great costumer service.

I've lived locally for a while now and I don't know how I've missed this place, I'm glad I was recently introduced. I actually find it far better than some of the Chinese food places near me. Great portion, great taste and not greasy at all. I think I've found a new spot.

Fantastic food, very friendly helpful staff. Great quality and food hygiene rating has the highest in the area. Definitely worth checking out. Oh and the portion size is amazing. You won't be dissapointed!

Tonight ordered a chinese delivery from this place, I had never heard of this place f but after trying 4 other local takeaways in St .Albans Hatfield,that were giving me an hour to and house and a half as they were so busy , googled local Chinese takeaway and this came up so called them , they are only 1 mile from my house. They delivered in 25 mins instead of the 45 min wait they said, the food was delivered in little boxes, so cute like in
