Happy Wok

Let me just preface this with an explanation of how I score things, just so you don’t get the wrong idea.
One star means the place is absolutely atrocious, and you should remove your own nose with a cheese grater before even considering patronising the place with your business.
Two stars means they try hard, but they don’t excel. I use this for businesses that work for you, and offer an average service.
Three stars means the business is good. It does the job, and does it well.
Four stars means the business is great. Whatever they do, they are at the top of their field.
Five stars means a religious experience.
So when I give the Happy Wok three stars, understand it’s not because they’re average, or bland, or anything like that. It’s just because whilst they’re good, other places are better.
The food here has two major benefits; there’s lots of it, and customisation is always accepted. You can go to Chinese places, order something without vegetable X and, in my experience, a lot of the time this is just skipped over. Here though, they are very open to the whole order-​what-​you-​want ethos.
The Happy Wok’s a good place to eat, if you’re nearby. There are better takeaways, but these guys do the job.

I really like the people in The Happy Wok… they are really lovely. They will do all that they can to keep their customers satisfied. Knowing this, I asked them to make me a Duck with Pineapple the other day, even though it isn’t on the menu. I hadn’t intended to do this, but I forgot that they didn’t do my favourite duck dish, but they offered to make it regardless. How could I refuse?
I really don’t want to say anything against theses guys, but I was a tad disappointed with the result. It tasted fine, but there were no vegetables in the dish at all. Instead, all I got was a lot of duck, which is very generous, and quite a lot of pineapple. I was hoping that the dish would also have peppers, onions and carrots as it usually does elsewhere, as I hadn’t eaten anything with vitamins in all day.
The Happy Wok have been going for two and a half years and have established themselves as a pretty popoular Chinese takeaway. They have an incredibly extensive menu with some interesting speciality dishes, such as the Singapore options.
They provide a home delivery service as long as you order half an hour before closing and charge £1.00 delivery charge for the immediate area and £2.00 for Llanedyrn, Rumney, Llanrumney, Trowbridge, Cardiff Bay, Pen-​y-​Lan and Cathays.
