Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for hot, fresh food with generous portions, singling out the crispy shredded beef, crispy chilli beef, and sweet and sour chicken with its crispy batter, while one longtime local praises the hot and sour soup and curry ribs for consistent flavor over the years. The chicken balls also draw specific praise, with one diner advising ordering them lightly battered. Pickup and phone orders are repeatedly described as fast, often around fifteen minutes, with staff called pleasant and friendly. Set against this, a recurring minority describe an off night: one visitor called it the worst Chinese they'd had, citing salty, underseasoned curries, greasy chow mein, soggy prawn crackers, and disappointing sweet and sour chicken balls, while another threw out a beef curry after one bite. A separate reviewer reports the counter staff deliberately ignored phone calls when they tried to place an order for a relative. Most describe leaving with the whole order hot, tasty, and good value.

“Ordered takeaway from here on the first night of our holiday and always like to leave a review for places I relied on reviews for myself! Nice food and enjoyed our meal. I always find the crispy shredded beef and satay sauce to be a good litmus test of chinese takeaways - crispy shredded beed was nicely crispy and tasty! Satay sauce wasn't so good - but that may be personal preference. I would reccomend!”

“I was trying to call this place to put an order in for my sister as she had no signal and needed to get dinner for her family, to later find out that the worker behind the counter was ignoring my calls on purpose. Shocking customer service would not recommend”

“We had a great experience with Lucky House in Axminster. We collected our order and everything was hot, fresh and really tasty, with good portion sizes too. The chicken curry was full of flavour and the crispy chilli beef was spot on — …”
