Tasty Malaysian food at reasonable prices. One of the highlights was their Char Kuey Teow which has actual Lap Cheong inside (a rare find in the UK)! Their Claypot Salted Fish with Pork Belly was delicious as well and is highly recommended.

Such good food. Such good service. One of the best dining experiences in Cardiff. We have found our favourite Malay restaurant here.

A happy visit at Happy Lok Diner! Was a last minute decision to visit this restaurant for some Malaysian food, was able to walk in and get a seat right away. Service was very good and the menu was diverse. We didn’t have any trouble ordering dishes as the menu was clear with photos of popular dishes too. Food was very good quality and authentic. Overall a very good experience and will definitely visit again.

Underwhelming. The food was tasty but nothing special and pretty pricey. The restaurant 'cafe' was a bit grubby, cold and lacking atmosphere. We had to wait until the staff had finished their meal before we could pay.

My first proper Malaysian - Chinese try. I was happy with the dishes I choose. Very clean and tidy ambiance. Well kept. The food was fresh, hot and tasty. Good portion and worth the price. I would come back again.

The food is really tasty! I went there with Malaysian friends as they were recommending it. We ordered the meal for “4 or 5 hungry friends” and it was extremely delicious! The atmosphere is cozy and the staff are always keen to help you if you need. Just make sure to book beforehand, especially if you’re going to have a dinner there.

Authentic Malaysian cuisine in the town. Surprisingly the best BBQ pork(Char Siu) in the town, as a Charsiu eater for a few decades, I could tell their pork wasn’t colouring by food colouring, instead, they may use the char Siu sauce to season the pork, which is an authentic way to do it. Pork was so tender as well. I will definitely go for a dinner for second time.

Really enjoyed our Malaysian dishes experience. Good quality food throughout from roti chenai to beef redang, and a couple of chicken dishes - one with lychee was just delicious. Friendly service and reasonable-ish prices. One request: we need tea tarik please!!

The Malaysian food is very authentic as is the Chinese food. The portions were very generous and the crispy pork cooked to perfection. We will deffo return! Anyone looking for a good taste of the Orient look no further than here!

so so good! lots of variety and lovely staff :)

Busy but really good service. Delicious Chinese/Malaysian cuisine.

It's nice to have Malaysian dishes served in Cardiff but because I personally have been to many in and around West Side and London. I have to say the portions given are really frugal. Portions were alright, and the food is considered delicious by UK standards. Location is fairly easy to find with a carpark area just around the corner making it relatively easy for access as well. We were asked for additional £2 if we wanted extra sambal. To give a comparison on the amount given. Picture 2 is what we have in central London. That was the 1 negative we found. But the chicken portion given compensated slightly.

Highly recommend this place for authentic and delicious Malaysian cuisine ! The restaurant is clean and the service is great too .

Excellent malaysian food in UK. Love it and will come back if there's a chance. Recommend wat tan hor and salted fish pork belly claypot. Ordered 三宝饭 but got char siew, duck and roast chicken, was hoping the chicken could be roast pork instead but it's ok ba, wasn't made aware what was going to be served during order.

It is one of my favourite restaurants in Cardiff. Great foods don't always have to be fancy. Every time I came here, the food reminded me of my late mother's cooking. Tonight, we had Assam Seabass, Salt & Pepper King Prawn, and Roti Canai. All of them were delicious. Also had so many other dishes previously like Nasi lemak, Salted eggs King Prawn, Seafood hor fun with eggs gravy, Mee goreng noodles, Salted eggs squid, Kam heong prawn, Japanese tofu with seafood, Salted fish with pork belly and San bao rice. Always come back home with a happy tummy.

the food is so delicious . ive tried nasi lemak for 13£ and rendang for take away. u will get huge portion like on this pict . the atmosphere is good , the place is very clean . Rendang is also yummy definitely its different compare to indonesia . overall 🤌🏼🫰

Absolutely loved the food. The food is reasonably priced and the portion is perfectly filling. The service is amazing. I received a call and had to get out of the restaurant to check something. They put my food in the kitchen and brought it back once I came back. They are very friendly people.

Beef Ho Fun was great as well as the roasted pork belly with a perfectly crispy skin. Nasi Lemak was good, but this being our first try of Nasi Lemak we can't compare to previous experiences. The portion sizes are great in my opinion. Sometimes you can be given too much food and this can affect presentation, but we didn't leave overfilled and were satisfied. The staff are attentive and easy-going which made the experience more enjoyable, and the cleanliness was superb. Prices are above average, but this reflects the pride in their cooking and business, which is overall very strong. Would be extra enjoyable with medium sized groups.

Excellent meal - large interesting menu. I particularly recommend the food from the Malaysian specials and chefs specials - lots of interesting and delicious tastes. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The service was quick, the food was good quality and flavourful.

Got the roti canai, Nasi lemak and mince pork and aubergine hot pot. Highly recommend it. The taste is brilliant and very filling. Pricing is great.

Came here spontaneously and really glad I did. One or two minor things I thought could've been better but that's me being fussy. I will be back for the Nasi Lemak for sure.

Friendly Chinese Malaysian dining. It seems like a professionally family run business. The tea came quick, and they were happy to refill with water. The food was served quickly and warm. It was well presented, and the taste was spot on. Overall, it was a pleasant calm experience. The price was reasonable. Happy to visit again.

Great, non halal, Malaysian fare!

On our day trip to Cardiff, we were pleasantly surprised by this little gem of a Malaysian eatery. Being Malaysian, I tend to be quite particular but I would say that this place met my standards and we had a lovely lunch of - char koay teow, hainanese chicken rice, kangkung belacan and salted egg squid. There is room for improvement but overall, I'd say this is one of the better and more authentic Malaysian restaurants, even compared to London. Oh and the home made soya bean milk was lovely too - just remember to add the syrup! 🥳 We would definitely eat here again if we are in town in future!

Unfortunately the meal took 1hr 20 mins to be delivered & not the estimated 20-40 mins and arrived stone cold. One of the orders was for a beef rendang, it was tiny & dry and so not worth the £7.30 it cost. The chicken Pad Thai was a tasteless, stodgy lump of udon noodles & beansprouts with a lonely slice of chilli. Such a disappointing meal 😞

Very lovely host. Food was just superb. My family enjoyed it throughout.
