Most Disliked
Despite the overwhelmingly positive reviews, some diners mention the cash-only policy can be a drawback for those used to card payments. There are also occasional comments about limited seating during peak hours, which might leave some guests waiting. Additionally, while the menu includes gluten-free options, it could benefit from further variety to attract a wider audience. A few customers also express a desire for more traditional regional dishes that could add authenticity. Finally, some first-time visitors find it challenging to navigate the menu due to its extensive listings. Overall, while minor complaints exist, they don't overshadow the great experience many have at Happy Villa.

My favourite Chinese! Haven’t found one as good. My favourites are the salt & chilli chips, half & half with curry and salt & chilli chicken! I haven’t had salt & chilli chips or a half & half with curry that I love more than Happy Villa!

The best Chinese around and very speedy service. Never had a bad meal out of The Happy Villa. I don't live local so I travel 20min to this Chinese and it's still warm and delicious when I get home.
