About Double Luck
Double Luck is a Chinese takeaway in Oldham, at 85 Duchess St, that doubles as a chippy and serves chips alongside its Chinese dishes. That means one order can cover both styles of food. The menu includes Singapore chow mein, salt and pepper ribs and special chop suey fried rice. Food is made fresh to order, and the kitchen adjusts dishes to a customer's requests. The family-run business opens evenings only, Tuesday to Sunday, and closes on Mondays.

Customer Review Summary
Big portions are what reviewers raise most at this family-run takeaway, with several describing one order stretching to feed two or three people and others calling the portions huge or generous. Beef and mushrooms with chips gets a specific mention, and one reviewer says the chips aren't always to their liking. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly and helpful, with one reviewer noting requests are adjusted to order and the food is hot and freshly made while they wait. A long-standing customer of over 30 years says they are greeted warmly every visit. The praise is not unanimous. One reviewer found the Sui Mai tiny, the salt and pepper ribs tough, and the special chop suey fried rice very salty, with a pinkish curry sauce. Another says the Singapore chow mein was neither hot nor spicy and the meat tasted strange, while a third calls some dishes extremely greasy with chicken like rubber. The one downside among the happier reviewers is that there is no delivery, which a customer in Saddleworth wishes they offered.

“Rice is nice but some of the dishes are extremely greasy and the "chicken" doesn't look or taste like chicken. It's like rubber.”
