Quick info
About Lucky Star
Lucky Star is a Chinese takeaway at 1 Market Pl in Canterbury. The kitchen works in the evenings only, so the shop does not serve during the day. It is closed on Tuesdays and open on the other six days of the week. Portions are large, with plenty of food in each order, and dishes arrive hot. That leaves the evenings from Monday to Sunday, apart from Tuesday, as the window for ordering a Chinese meal.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the speed and reliability of the takeaway and delivery, with several saying the food arrives quickly and still hot. Portions are repeatedly described as huge and plentiful, from one household's six dishes that were all tasty to an oversized crispy pancake roll that one reviewer says was overwhelmed by beansprouts. Close behind, a few call it the best Chinese food they have had, with one reviewer saying never a bad dish, and others find online ordering simple and the staff friendly. The complaints are sharper. One diner says an order placed at 6pm had still not left the restaurant two hours later, with no apology or discount and a manager who reportedly did not speak English. Another found the sweet and sour chicken balls and chips dry and over-held, though the portion was large and the staff friendly. One reviewer reports severe diarrhea hours after eating, though they add the food is normally nice. One diner on a late delivery said they would never order again.
