Happy View in Norwich

Use this place now and again and is normally pretty good but tonight the chicken chow mein tasted burnt and my mixed meat curry had no chicken in it. Don't know if something has changed but the normal lady who has always been in there serving wasn't there either tonight.

Food here had always been amazing. However ordered two weeks back and got hardly anything compared to the normal portion. Ordered tonight waited over an hour for fold food. When I rang I was told I'd have to wait an hour for fresh and then told me it was badically not her problem and hung up on me before I could finish my sentence. So rude. My food (fresh turned up 40 minutes later) cold again. I've never dealt with someone so rude before and will not be revisitng due to the ignorance.

One of the best Chinese takeaways in Norwich! We have been ordering from here for a few months & it’s been amazing every time ! We order over the phone for delivery & the lad over the phone is more than pleasant & the delivery time is always spot on - around an hour which is perfect. Our favourites are definitely the chicken curry (the most flavoursome I have ever had), the pork or chicken chow mein & the crispy shredded chilli chicken! The prices are also not too bad, perfect for a treat! 😊

The best chinese takeaway in Norwich! We’ve never had a bad experience and the food is so flavourful and delicious every time. I recommend this place to all of my friends!

Me and my family have been going to this Chinese takeaway for over 10 years and it has always hit the spot. There has never been a problem, food is always hot and fresh, the staff are so lovely. Prices might a bit much but it's worth every penny. Definetly recommend this chinese to those who live near by, you won't regret anything.

Best Chinese I've found so far.

Great food, quick delivery, everything that you need from a local Chinese takeaway.

Nice food. Quick'ish service. Not much else to say. I would eat there again if my favourite wasn't on offer. Not bad at all 👍

Was perfect but something has change over recent months. They used to blow my socks off, the veg in the beef and chicken dishes ware so fresh and not precooked , the fried rice looked different to every other chippy, it was not coloured with soy sauce, just naturally coloured and with a lovely flavour. Sadly, they have followed the pattern of every other chippy and added lashings of soy sauce. The veg in the meals , pepper, onions, carrots etc no longer has that crisp bite to them, the beef is not the same either. Meals are just average now, So sad.

Food is tasty and fresh, quick delivery! Recommend!!

Fabulous food- I tried this takeaway for the first time last night and everything was delicious. Genuinely the best Chinese I’ve had in years, I’m so happy to have found it!

The food is excellent! I have been ordering from Happy Veiw for years. Great menu and friendly service. The food is tasty, has good portions, and is consistently good. In fact, I have never had a bad dish. I would thoroughly recomend them if you fancy, what I concider, a darn good Chinese feast.

They are like the gillet shaver. The best a man can get lol

Great value, best Chinese in the area

Food changes from good to medium depending on which chef is on ,, when you go in to order the young lad talks a million miles an hr like it's a rush to get you served but all in all it's a good choice

Great food full of flavour..highly recommend

Ordered online as I do always, this time three English meals steak and chips, lovley cooked steak, always fresh, delivery on time, love this Chinese restaurant hats off to all staff, including chef, keep it up, win, win all the time.

Very good Chinese takeaway in Norwich

Been ordering from Happy view for about 5 years and I'm very impressed I've tried a few different Chinese takeaway in Norwich and London but I feel this is by far the best. food always tastes fresh and full of flavour portion sizes are good and service times are quick and the delivery drivers always friendly I would recommend to anyone

Best Chinese in Norwich (miles better than the other happy view also in Norwich)

Tried this Chinese takeaway for the first time yesterday we had the set meal for two set B at £27 it was delicious and plenty left for us to eat tonight well done and worth the money I can recommend this Chinese takeaway to anyone and will be using this place in the future many thanks you deserve the 5 stars I have given to you 👍

First time ordering from here. Absolutely delicious food, quick delivery, and the food was piping hot.

Best takeaway around and nice to have vegan options too 😋

Sloppy, greasy, overpriced food. Takes average 2 hours to arrive and is stone cold. Didn't include stuff we ordered. Person on the phone was full of attitude when we asked for a refund of the food we didn't receive and hung up the phone. It used to be good but never ordering that ever again.

Genuinely one of the best Chinese takeaways I have ever found. Food is lovely

First time using and we were very impressed. Freshly cooked ingredients, fast service and extremely tasty. Looking forward to ordering again.

very helpful on the phone, very knowledgeable on which dishes could be made vegan, quick delivery, absolutely delicious! it tasted so fresh one of the best vegan chinese takeaways we have had !

100% the best Chinese on Norwich. The food is absolutely delicious! Always arrives hot and fresh!

Always had great food from this place!

I absolutely LOVE this chinese. I’ve been using them for years. A tiny little takeaway with a big heart and big flavours. Can’t recommend them highly enough 💜

Top take away excellent service

Pretty good take away, happy to order again.

Had a delivery this evening, was so good. Food was hot and delicious. Plus delivered on time. Highly recommend

My go to Chinese, the food is always really nice and the delivery drivers are always friendly as well.

Delivered very quick. Friendly. Food delicious

Difficult sometimes to park outside if collecting, so order delivery! You won’t be disappointed. Also have to mention this place probably has the widest range of tofu dishes in a takeaway I’ve seen…

Oh dear food was awful greasy gristly chicken balls that were stale or reheated tough reheated salt and pepper prawns rang to complain and although apologised won't be ordering from there again

This was a 3 star review, I've now edited it down to 1 star, the last 2 meals have been absolutely awful, the already small portions of salt and chilli chicken have got even smaller, the Singapore vermicelli had tiny fatty fragments of pork, very little chicken and a very lonely prawn, and there was no taste whatsoever in the dry strands of vermicelli, the king prawn balls were bland and tasteless, the chips were dark brown on the outside yet undercooked on the inside, Happy View has certainly gone down yet again in quality and quantity, my menu is now in the bin.

Been going here for years now, always great fresh food, friendly service and prompt delivery 👍

I've always enjoyed the food from happy view however they have put there prices up recently so I dont order from there anymore I now use a different takeaway.

First time using Happy View. Ordered online. Very smooth and easy process from beginning to end. Delivery was extremely quick. Food still hot and very tasty. Would use these folks again. Thank you

Currently our favourite takeaway. The food is always fresh and tasty and ready when we order it.

delivery is an absolute joke ordered 2 hours ago and still not here phoned twice too be told it will be with us any minute. No apology no offer of money off etc

I've had some bad experiences with local Chinese food over the past few years, but this place was really good. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were good. Will definitely go again.

So delicious! Delivery was quick, food was piping hot and tasted amazing. Would highly recommend:)

I was very disappointed with the whole service it took 2hours to arrive and when it did the chicken was tough and the pork stringy and the batter on the pancke roll so thick and over cooked I won't be using them again nor recommending them to anyone

Used this Chinese for about 8 years. Food is always on time, hot and tasty. People are always nice and friendly over the phone. Getting hungry whilst writing this.

Amazing food. Great service. Delivered with in 20mins by a really nice guy. This is now going to be my new place to order from. They even give you forture cookies with your order, little touches like that shows that they take pride in their shop. Honestly the best sweet and sour chicken I have ever had

Orders prepared quickly and the quality is top notch. The veggies are very fresh, great selection of vegetarian options too. By far the best Chinese take away in Norwich.

Oh wow our food tonite was yummy We ordered the set meal for 2 and it was lovely,definitely order again Delivery was fast (well b4 time stated) and contact free Thank you see u again soon

Great local Chinese takeaway. Never had a bad meal.

Just had a chinese from here and it was good, however the bbq sauce was disgusting, the bbq and pork dish was greasy and not alot of pork for the amount you pay. The rest was very good. But I will not return unless the other problems are addressed

Slightly more expensive than most Chinese takeaways but this is offset by good quality food that's cooked well and service that's fast and friendly. (I cannot vouch for delivery service as on this occasion I collected).

WARNING - Do not use!!!! Once Ordered it took over an hour and a half to arrive. Staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful on the phone and the driver didn't seem to care at all. Were repeatedly told the order was out for delivery when it clearly wasn't. Once it arrived pretty much everything was horrible and inedible. Wouldn't recommend to anyone!

Most of the time the food is of an excellent quality. Sometimes the rice and chow mein is too dry. But, after trying many Chinese takeaways in Norwich, this is the best.

The service is poor, twice we have ordered here for delivery first time they were longer then an hour they said . the second time they said it will be one hour and twenty mins, we asked them make sure its no longer than that ,its was two hours we had to wait for the delivery . So if you want ordered leave london you might get in time for when you arrive home.

Excellent. Tried this yesterday as my usual was closed and now I won't be going anywhere else. Superb food. Try the crispy chilli beef.

Probably the best Chinese in Norwich

Love it very good food love the chicken fried rice and chicken balls

Best Chinese in Norwich. Highly recommended

Delivery took 11 minutes to arrive today, the food is always excellent and we're impressed how prompt delivery is! Great takeaway

Food is 5 star and staff in shop just lost a star with its poor delivery service

Lovely food ,as always for the night crew

Oredered mixed meet and rice with eggs,went home and there was just chicken with some vegies and no eggs in rice. We always order in Chinese places same dish and this was worst what we had ever. It was very fast,tasted good,but not what we expected.

Tasty, good quality, love that the dishes are not too greasy, always been very good and consistent.

Very slow service. Food was very poor as well. Probably the worst Chinese I have ever had.

This is my usual Chinese however for the past three times ive been very disappointed with them. Usually I get free prawn cracker with my delivery but this has not happened for the last tgree orders and the food hasn't been as tasty as it usually is. They put far to much pepper in my chow mein this time. So im open to trying new Chinese takeaways.

Always great food here and good quick delivery service.

Just had a lovely meal it was lovely and hot very generous portions couldn't eat it all average prices would definitely recommend Good service excellent overall .

Half done food! We chucked it all in the bin

Always been good value and friendly

Top menu,good food and friendly staff

very impressed, prompt delivery, great food, this is now my “go to” chinese! pretty good menu selection as well and you can order all online. well worth a try.

Always very tasty. One of Norwich's top 10

Our favourite Chinese by a long shot.

Extremely poor. Very late delivery and when asked what discount you can offer, said none and delivery driver left. Avoid at all costs!!

We have used this takeaway for a long time now, time keeping has got really horrendous, we ordered at 1900 for a 1945 delivery......time now 20 past 8 and they haven’t even started to cook our order!! So food already 35 mins late, going to be at least an hour late before it turns up, never using again which is a shame.

We ordered before collection, on arrival I decided to wait in the car as it had already been 10 minutes since we ordered. It took a further 30 minutes before our food started to be packed, in that time take away drivers came and left. You would get served in a restaurant quicker than you would at this Chinese on a busy night. The fact we were told 20 minutes is what makes it bad, why lie.

The food is good, but they can't be relied upon to deliver on time. Add 20 or 30 minutes to whatever delivery time they state, and then you won't be disappointed.

Best chinese I've ever had highly recomended

Food never turned up. When we tried to ring we only got an answer phone, very poor customer service

Excellent service. Always fresh.

Quality food cooked well - cant comment on delivery times as i live down the road!

I used not to order Chinese takeaway as I was always disappointed. Happy View has allowed me to eat Chinese takeaway again as their ingredients are good quality, their dishes tasty and not over-salted and laden with MSG, and their variety of options is excellent. I'm not veggie but there are loads of great non-meat options too. I particularly enjoy the spare ribs, chicken balls, Kung po chicken, Singapore fried rice and roast pork chow main.

The worst Chinese takeaway I have ever experienced yesterday's leftovers small portions sent it back for a refund !!!!

Used to be great chinese. In recent years an phone order takes two hours with no apology. Went from great to zero. Full of apologies but no delivery. Lasy five deliveries 2hrs plus. Shocking.

Good quality foods, big portions.

Just under 2 hours to be delivered once it was items were missing. Rang to ask for them to be delivered, but was told it would be another 2 hours. Rude on the phone. Don't recommend.

Awful restaurant. Took 2.5 hrs to deliver a simple order because it was raining?!? Gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried again, this time it was going to take 2 hrs on a Sunday because they'd taken on too many orders and couldn't deliver so cancelled my order their end! If you actually want your food before you have to go to bed do not order from this restaurant!

Great service , food was ready in less than 10 mins. Were also really friendly & helpful & the Tofu was was cooked properly. Defiantly enjoyed my Sunday dinner. Highly recommend.

Tofu cooked perfectly! All of the food was really nice, not too greasy. Just check if you are veggie as some dishes will have fish sauce unless you ask for it without (same for all asian places really) Will eat there again for sure!

Only started using this Chinese now that they deliver to us. Best Chinese we have had in a very long time. Service is fast and polite, and the food quality and taste are excellent. This is now our go to Chinese.

Always Happy to deal with you friendly really quick delivery Andy spot on and varied the menu for me very good would always recommend thank you!

Fantastic food! Hot and fresh. :)

The worst take away i have ever had got the order wrong again food cold and the pork balls had more fat than meat i have deleted this number shame because used to be good AVOID

Quick delivery times and tasty food, however recently suffering from very greasy dishes. Would have easily said previously best in the city.

Cracking delivery Chinese. We moved to the other side of Norwich and after trying a few locals we still order from here and are happy to wait the extra time.

Food is ok, but the service horrific! Waited for nearly 2 hours when was told 45 minutes. When I called to chase it up, the manager rudely said its on its way. No apology nothing

Always absolutely Delicious, in good time and fantastic overall service. Thank you!

Fantastic food, - best ever Chinese takeaway! Great, friendly service and food ready quickly. Can't recommend this highly enough. Three of us ate like kings for a very good price!
