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.

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.

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.

Can't believe it's taken me so long to eat here, incredible Malaysian food.
The Roti Canai were a perfect starters before we filled our table with mains.
Salted egg King Prawns, Fried Hor Fun with Beef, Kam Heong Chicken, Claypot Aubergine were all stand out dishes. Claypot Pork belly, butter chicken and half duck also delicious.
Excellent Jamsine tea with a free refill too.
Can't wait to return to work my way through the rest of the menu

Really enjoy Happy Lok. One of the few (if not only?) Places that does good Malaysian food. Have been a few times for both lunch and dinner, and have tried a fair few dishes, all have been really good. Lovely staff. Would recommend the roti canai for starters and their curry or hainanese chicken rice for mains.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
