Let's be clear about All Happy: it's in a rough neighbourhood and the decor leaves a lot to be desired. But, if you're looking for a place to eat after a night out and are wondering where the locals will be, you can't go wrong. Skip the ginger beef and try some of their more authentic Chinese dishes!
