About New Lucky Star
New Lucky Star is a Chinese takeaway at 299 Aylsham Rd in Norwich, with a menu that runs beyond Chinese dishes into English-style plates. Sirloin steak comes with mushrooms, tomato and peas in gravy, and sausages in gravy are served with chips, so one kitchen covers both styles. The Chinese side of the menu includes house special fried rice with chicken and pork. Orders are placed by phone and collected from the takeaway. It opens in the evenings only and is closed on Wednesdays.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific. Three reviewers call the food greasy, one describing a mixed meat curry and chicken balls with no flavour, and another saying chips with peas and gravy were flavourless. One vegetarian reports a vegetable chow mein arriving with a huge piece of chicken in it. Another notes that wrong dishes have turned up a couple of times, though a replacement was sent straight back out each time, and suggests repeating orders back to the customer.

“To complete my Chinese takeaway cuisine week, I ordered the house special fried rice with chicken and pork for a very reasonable £7.15. The portion size was very large, making it excellent value for the price and more than enough to satisfy a big appetite. This was by far the most tasty and filling meal I've had recently. The delightful receptionist who took my order was both pleasant and welcoming, making the experience even better. Impressively, the meal was prepared in less than 10 minutes, which added to the overall positive experience.”
