Customer Review Summary
Reviewers mostly describe orders that went wrong, with wrong or mishandled food the most repeated problem. One vegetarian reports receiving noodles with prawns, chicken and duck and spring rolls containing duck, and another received chewy beef with green peppers instead of the salt and pepper chicken and young chow fried rice they ordered. Egg fried rice draws repeated complaints for having almost no egg, and one diner found the black pepper sauce so strong that it left them choking. Others describe satay chicken skewers with a sponge texture and Singapore noodles that were clumped and dry. Phone service is called rude or dismissive by several, and one reviewer reports a driver never received a tip added at ordering. Delivery trouble includes cold food in an open container arriving long after the order. Two reviewers report sickness after eating, and one notes the low hygiene rating. A single reviewer calls it the best Chinese takeaway they have tried, with food that arrived three days earlier. One reviewer got a refund quickly through the payment and delivery company after an order never arrived.

“We ordered from here last night 18/07/2026 and whilst the process of the order on the website and the food arrived on time. One of my friends has suffered with sickness and diarrhoea all night and all of today. My girlfriend would not eat her meal as she said it didn’t taste right and the chicken was soft and slimy. Not a good experience and will not be returning.”

“I will NEVER buy from these again, I placed my order and added a tip of over £2 for the driver, it clearly states the tip is for the driver, when my food arrived I told the driver about the tip and he was upset because when we tip whilst placing the order, the divers do not get a penny. Absolutely terrible, I feel as if the takeaway has stolen my money, how can they keep the tips when it is clearly for the driver. I will eat elsewhere in future. I will look into reporting them for this, when I tip a driver, I do not expect it to be stolen by the management.”

“Stale food was given and chicken skewers in satay sauce was like a sponge texture and Singapore noodles all clumped together and so dry it almost made me choke. NEVER buying again. I will say that blossom gardens in sunnyhill are the best Chinese if your looking for delicious Chinese food.”

“Have ordered so many times from lucky house duffield road derby. Had a few times not perfect, but last night really was atrocious. First of all know its a Chinese takeaway, but surely person taking phone takeaway orders, must be able to speak proper English. It was a nightmare ordering plus person was not the most pleasant. Had to keep repeating order to check ok. Both orders were with black pepper sauce. I think chef must of chucked the whole pot of black pepper in. Me and my husband were chocking and couldn't get our breath, especially me who have asthma. I also had a side order of egg fried rice. Never found one bit of egg in rice. Very disappointing experience and meal. Wendy hall”
