If you wanna go somewhere where you don’t have to wait for food, the staff treat you like old mates, the drinks are delicious and the food is so mouth watering and amazing then this is the place aye. Love it cannot recommend this place and the staff enough. Seriously order the brownie for dessert and the alcoholic slushies you won’t regret it ���
This is our new fav place. The staff are super friendly and you are always greeted at the door. The food comes out fast and is always delish. If you're looking for japanese with a twist then this is the place for you.
Super cool place and highly recommend !!
Smells fantastic. Tastes awesome. Little pricey. But all good!
My coach recommended me to try their tofu burger. It’s nice, my wife said isn’t this chicken? Dense and tasty. But the sesames are a bit too high in calorie for me.
Flavour and texture is awesome. Just a little pricey for what it is. Otherwise I would be coming more often.

Ordered the chicken Siracha baoburger along with the chicken nibbles fries and a caramel and walnut brownie. That baoburger was freaking divine such a great idea instead of the normal burger bun. It said spicy but it could have done with more the chicken was super crispy which was great. The nibbles wasn’t anything to call home about but the brownie was delicious!
Absolutely loved the fried chicken with maple waffles for the two-for-one Sunday deal! Also enjoyed the pork belly bao bun and the Asian inspired greens used with that. Wasn’t a fan of the beef bao. Just wish the portion for the bao was bigger considering it is about $14 each! Long tables with benches for the seating arrangements, hipster decor and colors.
I had pork belly bao burger and it was good. Also, i had kimchi fries added bacon. Was better than i expected. Friendly staff.
Yum, the vegan bao bun is so delicious and so filling. Happy Boy is my go-to restaurant when I'm craving a burger and fires. The staff are all really nice too.
It is the first time I have eaten here, even though I am a local, and I think this is the best burger I have ever eaten, Just had the std beef burger with egg. Probably on a par with the fergburger in Queenstown. I will definitely be going back.

Awesome layout and cute ambience, was quickly seated and served and the food was bought out so quickly-I was very impressed! Ordered the pork baoger with brioche bun, ribs (ofc), and kimchi fries.
The baoger was absolutely delightful, although I was expecting a pork belly strip instead of a fried pork patty, the patty did not disappoint. The texture was reminiscent of pulled pork, it wasn’t dry at all and the edges had a delectable crisp crunch that added a little extra touch. The dressing it was paired with was super tasty and creamy, slightly sweet which meshed so well with the savoury patty, veg and sweet bun-oh my the brioche bun was an absolute delight!! So soft and slightly sweet, fresh and delish!! 4.5/5 would definitely be willing to come back for another burger 😍
Ribs were pretty tasty, parts were slightly dry but the meat was relatively soft. The marinade was very good though and made up for the texture of the meat as each bite was always flavored just enough. Not something that I’d get again but was worth the try if you’re a ribs fan! 3.5/5
Kimchi fries were decent! Fries are just your run of the mill shoestring, but we’re not soggy despite being drenched in sauce and kimchi which surprised me! The kimchi and sauce combination was sweet which I liked to combat the slight tang of the spice and it was a relatively decent portion. Not bad but I’m not a super fries/poutine person anyway. 3/5
Overall, a very cute place with amazing burgers!! Definitely has got me in the spirit to try more asian fusion burger joints in the future!! Happy boy made me a very happy girl 😋
This place has such a fun aesthetic! Would recommend dining in, but maybe not on a weekend as I presume it can get quite busy. The tofu bao is delicious and can be made vegan! Very friendly staff.
Not as great as a takeaway option as the fries were cold and the bao burger soggy.

Happy boy is a super fun place with good food and a point of difference that makes this place a must visit.
The aesthetic of the place is very cool and unique. It has a very retro but almost futuristic vibe (confusing I know, but the best was to describe it I feel). There are plenty of neons and bright colors that make this place pop. Although it is extremely trendy it doesn't have the most pleasant lighting for a relaxing dining experience. In this case I think it is more suited to go to with friends, as it doesn't quite offer the romantic setting of most restaurants. But overall it is an amazing space.
The staff are friendly and the service is good. Nothing to complain about but nothing to rave about.
The food is good. I had the pork belly burger with a normal brioche bun and it was delicious! However, they do offer a bao burger bun option which is what they are really known for and I would also definitely recommend going ahead with it. The fries weren't the greatest but nothing really to complain about. Another winner here was the awesome beer tower! Which basically provides the dining experience with your own personal beer on tap, which is a cool thing to do with some friends.
Overall this is a fantastic place with a real point of difference that makes it worth going for alone. The vibe is unique and retro with great food and a good place to hang out with friends. I would definitely recommend this place and the bao burger bun with a beer tower!
