Customer Review Summary
Portions and value dominate the praise here, with several reviewers singling out salt and pepper chips, prawn toast with its dipping sauce, and dry ribs with the special chow mein as regulars. The dinnertime chicken curry special drew particular praise for being generous and good value, though one reviewer notes that special stopped running and prices rose, ending dinnertime service altogether. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and lovely, with more than one reviewer describing being served by a young man at the counter. Portion size comes up again and again, with one couple keeping leftovers for another day. Against this, two complaints stand out: one reviewer found a special Szechuan and Kung Pao bland with no real spice, and another reported cashew nuts and ginger missing from an order, then met a rude response when calling to explain, prompting them to switch takeaways. A few also mention the wait during busy periods, though the food quality is described as making it worthwhile for regulars living nearby.

“Possibly the worst Chinese food I’ve ever been served. Ordered a special Szechuan and special Kung Pao and was told by the lad on the phone that rethey were basically the same sauce but one was served with a side of nuts! The Szechuan was described as spicy but in fact it was entirely bland without a hint of heat or spice, and the Kung Pao tasted much the same. This place had been highly recommended but I was so disappointed. Back to Lucky Rain in Great Harwood from now on.”

“Great takeaway, too good really as always busy so you are often waiting longer than you may expect but food quality is spot on and as I live about 200 yards away it is a very handy thing to have if you want a great meal without the hassle of cooking!”

“Popped down for a quick chinese and it was the best meal I’ve ever had in my life. Nice little chap served me when I came in and was blown away by the impeccable customer service. Will definitely be coming back again.”

“Called a couple of months ago and waited for my order. Arrived home to find that cashew nuts had been missed out of one meal and ginger out of another. Rang to explain and a Chinese lady was very unhelpful and rude. Will never go back again. Have now changed to another , more friendly, and much better, Chinese Takeaway.”
