Happy View Chinese Take Away in Norwich

I’ve just moved to Norwich and have been hunting for a good Chinese takeaway. I’ve tried 4 or 5 so far and last night tried Happy View on Ketts Hill. I am genuinely so happy I found it- everything we ordered was delicious! The food wasn’t greasy, it all tasted super fresh, the prawns and meat were very good quality, the vegetables were crunchy, the sauces were super flavourful and the portions were generous. Super happy all round and they now have one new regular customer!

Disappointed - we always get our Chinese take-away from Ketts Hill and was looking forward to it however it was very greasy and the spring roll was bland as well as extremely greasy. I had chicken chow mien which tasted burnt and my Husband had crispy chilli beef but the crispy bits was just batter and hardly any beef. Not sure if anything has changed but as I said we have always used Ketts Hill but won’t be doing so again - such a shame

The best Chinese take away in Norwich. Lots of good quality fresh vegetables, perfectly cooked rice, hardly any or no MSG, everything just tastes fresh and flavoursome. I've ordered six times from them in the past year and very happy with each delivery.

Excellent service , visiting fromout of town rang my order through collected drive back to hotel all in under 30 mins! Lovely food and piping hot.

The roast duck chow mein and the ribs were best of the order. The set menu wasn’t impressive. Ordered through food hub which I think is a lot better for the restaurant

Paid for delivery which took an hour, then the order was wrong so ended up having to take it all back to the shop, they wouldn’t refund the delivery & processing charge but said 10% off our next order, I don’t think so…they said would take 5 minutes to recook, told them they better not reheat it! But the chicken balls were so greasy & stodgy they were u edible but I’m sure the seagulls will enjoy more of it than we ate…not happy…will not return…cannot recommend!!!! Nor even worth the one ⭐️

Never fails to deliver great tasting food, delivered piping hot, quality taste and super fast delivery.

I order from this restaurant regularly. Its always delicious , hot and the retaurant always follow any of my requests . Cant fault them,

We have been ordering from Happy View at Ketts Hill many times for several years now, and I found it to be very reliable, the food is hot as others mentioned, good portions, tasty, not too greasy. My favourite prawns are always cooked well and fresh. Chicken chow mein is the best I tried ever as it is not too fatty, and lovely. Great service, you can order online.

We have tried many take away Chinese meals in our area this one tops it all. Since writing this review we have had another take way. Prawn crackers, spring rolls, sweet and sour prawns, egg fried rice, ribs, king prawn curry and chow main large noodles mixed vegetables. Highly recommend.

My father was Vietnamese, so we have eaten good Chinese food (as well as Vietnamese), since I was a little girl, mainly in London's Soho district. This is one of the few places that I consider does proper Chinese food, since I moved to Norfolk... 20 years ago. Highly recommended.

Yummy food,food was delivered later than expected,around an hour. Quality food at anticipated flavour.

Really disappointed this time, placed order for collection and when got home had the wrong order / food, apparently it was our fault and no negotiation even though we specially asked for roast pork chow mien and got roast pork chop suey, been using Happy View for years and continued to after moving house even though it now doesn’t deliver which mean us turning out each time and to get such a blunt and rude response when we queried it has left a bad taste, will think twice before using again now.

Have never had a bad meal here. Always get the meal delivered which arrives quicker than I could drive there, wait and return!

`I have been doing the rounds trying to find theeeeeeeeeee 'one' - this can slightly closer than I have experienced in Norwich and it was very good. I think you would not get perfection unless you go to Soho in London. I will definitely give this another go as I was a bit cautious in my choice as I have been so let down in the past. Will review again very soon.

We ordered a takeaway from here on Saturday night. We could hear in the background of the call that they were really busy, which gave us hope. It took a little longer to be delivered than what they said, but it was worth the wait! It was possibly the best Chinese takeaway we’ve ever had, and we will most certainly be ordering again!

We have been having a takeaway regularly from Happy View and cannot fault it. Devliery has always been prompt, delivery staff polite, food is hot. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Ordered our take-away on line and collected in the store. The food was good, very fresh and well flavoured. Sauces were unusually light, and overall I was impressed with the quality of the food.

En nuestra opinión, los mejores chinos en Norwich. El personal siempre educado y amable, la comida caliente y sabrosa, es nuestras familias van a lugar en esas noches donde solo comida china. Una vez tuvimos una tortilla demasiado salada pero 1 llamada telefónica y 20 minutos más tarde otra fue entregada y fue perfecta. Bien vale la pena el dinero:)

Pedí y recibí la comida equivocada, puse tofu en lugar de champiñones al curry y me dijeron que si quería un reembolso completo tendría que volver a China con la comida, no había ninguna oferta para que alguien me entregara el pedido correcto, así que me reembolsaron a través de mi tarjeta por un artículo cuando quería la comida completa o el reembolso completo. ¡Lo he usado tantas veces, pero ese mal servicio al cliente ahora me ha desanimado! ! Rápido para tomar su dinero pero no rápido para corregir un pedido que fue su error! ! No volverá a usar

Great food, fast delivery and very reasonably priced too. Arrives hot!!! Bonus!!! Plenty of it too! All the A’s

Tuvimos una visita familiar desde Gales y escogimos comida para llevar en lugar de cocinar para todos los gustos, ¡pero fue un poco decepcionante!

Llegué del trabajo hambriento, así que pensé que pediría chino agradable y simple.

Servicio realmente mala cuando llamamos para avisar que me habían enviado el orden equivocado. La persona que me contesto intentó decirme que era lo que habíamos pedido y comenzó a discutir conmigo. La calidad era pobre y muy mal servicio no volveremos o recomendar a cualquiera, de hecho lo contrario. tranquilo

Nice takeaway. Fresh and tasty food. Slow delivery. I've order food at 5pm to be delivered at 6pm. It's 6.15pm already and I still waiting for food :)

Quick delivery, food was nice but they have been better in the past. Price wise, same as everywhere else. Overall hit and miss but generally ok.

Estado aquí muchas veces, así que vale la pena siempre ocupado cuando sonaba en con su pedido, incluyendo algunos menú de platos de inspiración tailandesa, buena selección de comidas preparadas que hacer pequeños cambios de tamaño y puede ser de 2, 3 o 4 personas. Volveré allí de nuevo la próxima semana.

Very good food, friendly drivers. Great staff

Consistently excellent quality. Very speedy service. Polite staff.

Very good food! And followed additional requests exactly! Delivery on time.

Good price for good food - very friendly. Service for collection is quick, but delivery is a bit slow.

Not everything I ordered was delivered

Una gran comida para llevar y servicio de entrega china. Solía vivir al lado y lo usa regularmente, sé que vivo a 8 millas de distancia y aún a pesar de que pase 3 Llevar China para llegar a ella! Trato amable y personal cuando...

Usually amazing food but tonight wasn't very nice at all. Chow mein tasted awful, really salty 😫

The quality has been dropping lately, very, very chewy lamb.....not nice!!!

Well I certainly didn't get what I ordered which was very disappointing. And the spring rolls were soggy with no sign of any meat in them. I shall be ordering from somewhere else next time.

I have ordered here most weekends for the last nine months and it has always been good. But this time round we asked for no vegetables in our noodles because personally we don't like beansprouts and both dishes had veg in. I called for a replacement and gave back the first order, which would have been ok, but the replacement had half as much food in it and was bland in comparison, almost as if the chef wasn't happy to make another dish and made it purposely bad. however the customer service was good but overall a ruined meal and evening and would not order again from this Chinese.

food warm not hot but tasted good

Staff called immediately after placing the order to check a note we'd put on and were accommodating with our allergies. Fried rice could have been a bit more fried but other than that great food.

Hot and sour soup is the best. Chow mein and fried rice else was so basic. Could have made better for 20p!

Never had a bad meal from here!

Como tanto mi pareja y son vegetarianos estrictos que tanto pedimos comida vegetariana y un pedido para vegetales Wonton como una, sin embargo este no es lo que recibimos. Nos dieron gambas Wonton. No comer pescado. Ambos nos comimos un pedazo y rápidamente me di...

30 mins late. Taste was okay but not the best I've had by any margin. Will probably go elsewhere next time, sorry.

Was told the food would be here at 18:45 came at 19:40 not great time but the food was good quality.

I've ordered from here a few times now and honestly believe that it's currently the best Chinese in my area!

First time of using this takeaway, they were on time with the delivery time they estimated. The food was of good quality however we had one dish which was the crispy beef, it stated it being spicy but had no spice to it. Also it was the only dish we had of the 3 dishes which was cold which I do not understand why it was the only cold one.

Usually use just eat for my orders.This is a good take away, it has standard Chinese menu at reasonable prices and is usually delivered in good time.

Once again another outstanding meal. Thanks to all.

Food was almost two hours late as the restaurant had lost our order. We had to contact just eat to phone the restaurant so that we could receive our order. When the food finally turned up we were still missing items from our order.

1 hour 30 mins to deliver ok just warm food. Wouldn't recommend this takeaway

Good food arrived hot and earlier than expected. Not greasy like a lot of the other Chinese's in the city.

Great consistency, great tasting food & always decent delivery time. Love the Thai dishes

You won't get a better Chinese in Norwich !! Omg there ribs are to die for! 10/10 !

1st time we have used Happy View and will be defiantly using them again. The food was with us within 20mins, the food was really good and steaming hot. We have struggled to find a good Chinese in Norwich and think we have now found it!!

Literally the best Chinese Ive had in a long time. First time I've ordered from here and I will definitely be ordering again. Only tiny moan I have is the duck on my chowmein was pretty fatty but that's just one of those things.

Hot tasty food. First time ordering from here, even though it is just around the corner. I wasn't a fan off the bbq sauce that came with the ribs, but that's just my personal preference. Can't fault it otherwise!

Had a big long black hair caught in the seal of the container

What can I say? I love the food here, my favourite has to be the Chinese chicken curry :) Will always order from here :)

Food was delicious as always but did take 1 hour and 20 minutes to arrive. Does not usually take that long so I'm sure they must have been busy
