Old-school detail
The peg system guests remember.
The numbered wooden pegs are part of the counter's familiar pace: order, wait for the call, then carry a tray back into the food court.
Sussex Centre Food Court
Happy Chef Noodle Restaurant
Old-school Haymarket noodles, laksa, wonton soup, and dry bowls served fast from the Sussex Centre counter.
What to order
Laksa, wontons, and noodles with the food-court rhythm.
Choose from clear soup, laksa soup, satay, dry noodles, rice plates, and Vietnamese noodle bowls. Many guests come back for laksa, wonton noodle soup, and dry noodle combinations with beef, tripe, tendon, or seafood.
Guest notes
Regulars come back for broth, noodles, and the hidden-counter feel.
