Happy Takeaways: A Huge Chinese Menu in Westmere

On Garnet Road in Westmere, Happy Takeaways has built its reputation on sheer menu range, covering pretty much every corner of the classic Chinese takeaway repertoire alongside a genuine burger menu and a handful of Southeast Asian-influenced noodle boxes. Holding a 4.5 rating, the takeaway is set up for online pre-ordering and pickup.

The classics, done properly

The backbone of the menu is the traditional chow mein and chop suey lineup, available with vegetables, mushrooms, chicken, BBQ pork, steak, prawn, a combination of meats, or seafood. Hong Kong style soft noodles and foo yoong omelettes follow the same pattern, letting customers pick their protein across a consistent format. The fried rice section runs from a simple plain version through to a loaded combination meats option and a Hot Box Fried Rice, while two house specials — the Happy Special Chow Mein and Chef's Special Fried Rice — bring prawn, BBQ pork, chicken, steak and cashew nuts together in one dish.

Curries, sauces and something different

Beyond the noodle and rice basics, Happy Takeaways covers a genuinely wide sauce menu: sweet and sour, lemon sauce, curry sauce, Thai green curry, satay sauce and black bean dishes, each available across chicken, BBQ pork, steak, prawn or a combination of meats. A pair of Indonesian dishes — Nasi Gorang and Bami Gorang — bring combination meats and curry sauce together with rice or noodles respectively.

Deep fries, soup and burgers

The deep fries section is where a lot of the classic Kiwi takeaway staples live: chips, kumara, wedges, battered fish (hoki, tarakihi or snapper), spring rolls, curry rolls, wontons, chicken nuggets and squid rings all feature. A short soup menu covers wonton soup, a wonton noodle soup, chicken and sweet corn soup, tom yum, and a curry laksa. The burger menu is unusually extensive for a Chinese takeaway, running from a simple hamburger through to a chicken burger with patty and salad, a bacon and egg burger, and the shop's own Happy Burger.

Newer additions

Happy Takeaways has added a couple of newer dishes to its menu: homemade pork and chives dumplings, made in-house in a batch of 12, and a steak hor fun. The noodle box specials section brings in a wider range of regional flavours too, including a teriyaki chicken box in Japanese teriyaki sauce, a honey chicken box, a Thai chilli-sauced Hot Box, a Singapore fried noodles box in a light curry sauce, and a garlic prawns box built around king prawns and garlic sauce.
