Lucky House is a Chinese takeaway in Newcastle Upon Tyne, at 267 Shields Rd. The menu includes a house special curry, which sits alongside curry served with chips and fried rice. Yeung chow fried rice is on the list for anyone who wants rice with a bit more in it, and salt and pepper chips are one of several chip styles. The kitchen opens in the evenings only and is closed on Tuesdays, so it suits an evening order.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific and recurring. Deliveries are described as taking over an hour and arriving warm. One regular reports a house special curry with terrible meat and only two prawns, plus rock-hard chips. Another found the yeung chow fried rice and chowmein dripping with oil, with no prawns or chicken. A first-time diner called the fried chicken in the Munchin box horrid, the spicy chips too salty and the Egg Foo Young burnt. One reviewer says a missing half of an order was never resent because the kitchen was too busy, and another says drivers kept the change.

“A very disappointing meal. We tried Lucky House because our usual Friday night takeaway was closed and we figured 4.2 stars meant it would be good. We ordered: 1x Munchin box 1x Currys, chips and fried rice 1x Egg Foo Young The portions were a good size and the lady behind the counter was nice enough but the food was not. The fried chicken in the Munchin box was horrid, the BBQ ribs lacked flavour and the spicy chips were more salt than potato. The curry, chips and fried rice was fairly bland and, again, very salty. And lastly the Egg Foo Young was burnt. Disappointed and we won't be going back.”

“Been with them for years never had no problems .suddenly there delivery drivers don't want to give you change , want to pocket it instead . Got half my order when I complained they were suppose to send me the other half. Never received it . Honestly disappointed in all the years I been with them , that the service is shocking . Taking over an hour also to be delivered . Then gets a reply back saying they been to busy to resend rest of my order . Your a joke”
