Lucky House - Chichester

This was my first visit to Lucky House and I was very impressed. I placed my order over the phone and was greeted by a friendly voice. When I arrived to pick up my food, there was no waiting. The food was fantastic, and I couldn't find any fault with it. I will definitely be returning in the future.

I have been ordering Chinese takeout from Lucky House since 2005 when I moved to Chichester. We have tried other Chinese takeout places in the area, but none of them compare to Lucky House in terms of quality, portion size, and delicious food. It is easily the best. I would highly recommend it. My only complaint is that they have stopped offering meat pancake rolls. Oh well. I have also read some negative reviews here and I am puzzled because we have never had a bad meal from Lucky House. I can only assume it is because the delivery drivers have let the food get cold, etc.

We ordered for our family and the food was stodgy, cold and greasy. The S&S sauce was like jelly, rice was clumpy and the chicken balls were undercooked and greasy. The chicken kung pao was inedible. Prawns were rubbery and made my daughter have an awful stomach ache. We called to see if we could have a refund and we’re initially declined until we insisted to speak with the manager. The manager tried to blame the poor food on the delivery driver!! In the end she agreed to refund but only if we handed the food back! Packed it all up and returned it to the restaurant for her only to give us a partial refund as some of it had been eaten….absolutely appalling service and food. Will never go back or recommend.

After seeing recommendations in some coeliac and gluten free groups, we decided to try Lucky House tonight. We called to place our order and the lady who answered was friendly and helpful. Our order was small: two chow meins (plain and special), 10 battered chicken balls, chicken fried rice (gluten free). They were out of duck so I changed my order to chicken and cashew nuts with Capitol sauce (gluten free), which was new to me but delicious. The rice was tasty, though slightly dry, but still fresh and well-prepared. The food stayed hot in an insulated bag during the drive home, no reheating necessary. Although I did not sample everything, my husband, son, and daughter all enjoyed their meals. It was great value for money and I look forward to ordering again.

We were staying at Chichester Lakeside really couldn't be bothered cooking on a Saturday night the concensus was Chinese Take Away and not knowing the area it was a bit of a punt. Crispy chilli beef, Beef chow mien, Sweet n Sour Chicken, Special rice, Singapore noodles . . . . We had a family feast. To the food its certainly a generous portion, more than enough. Best Chow Mein and Special rice Least Salt n Pepper chips (bit cold and soggy) the Spare ribs (bit fatty and not much meat) All in all pretty good The chips I can understand, they won't travel well We'd certainly use Lucky House again when back in Chichester
