Lucky Chef in Cardiff

Perfect for set meal deals with a main and side at very reasonable price

Great service very friendly, helpful with selecting dishes.

got lemon sauce instead of orange sauce with chicken, crispy beef and rice very dry. very nice chow mein though

Tasty food and good portions. Very pleased

Very dry and flavourless food. Ordered the crispy beef that was 90% batter, 10% meat and no sauce in sight. Not good. Waste of money. Won't be ordering again.

Food was tasty and staff very friendly

Excellent, really happy with order. Food arrived hot and staff was friendly.

Outstanding service! Took 10 minutes in total since I placed the order to cook and arrive. Food was hot and superb fast delivery from a lovely smiley man! Thank you very much!!

I order from here most weeks, food always arrives hot and never fails to fill me up. Would 100% recommend

Why all the boxes all wet and soggy. You don’t even get free prawn crackers so expensive for what is it!!!

Notification that food was out for delivery at 5pm for a delivery booked for 5:30. Chased at 5:45 and 6. Was assured that if food arrived and it was cold I could get a refund. Food arrived at 6:15 Luke warm. Restaurant not answering the phone. Really disappointing. Have had delivery issues from restaurant previously but this is the worst

Nice food and very good service

Great food Great service quick delivery thankyou Lucky Cheff

Ordered at gone 5pm arrived at 7.10pm

Really tasty food, friendly staff and quick service!

Lovely service, good price and free prawn crackers for people who leave a review. Brilliant!

Great restaurant service and food

Food was lovely and arrived on time!

The order never showed up after me waiting over an hour for the food, absolutely unacceptable. Losing £2.50 if I don’t get the refund aswell and never picked up the phone when I called

Ordered at 4:55 didn’t receive food until 6:30. Over 30 minutes late and when we finally got the food it’s cold. Rice & chips tastes like they’ve been warmed up in the microwave. No apology from driver either. Not the best experience for our first order here.

A classic Chinese takeaway, fast and efficient service, no complaints about anything

Lovely restaurant, my go to for a good value for money and top quality meal, staff are lovely too :)

Delivery took 50 mins from notification it was on its way, drive reckons it was 30. Either way I was third delivery and had paid £50 for just about warm food. Very disappointed.

Delivery was really fast Food arrived hot Chips and noodles were nice but the problem was the meat Chicken balls seemed to be congealed and the batter was too thick to be fully cooked Most of the crispy chilli beef had nice flavour but was pure batter really and had no meat, some bits tasted like oil. Portion sizes were really good but probably wouldn’t order again sadly

Best Chinese takeaway in Cardiff, with great prices!

I will never order from here again. The food was over 2 hours late and cold when it did arrive. We contacted the restaurant several times and were constantly lied to about the whereabouts of our food. The attitude of the person at the restaurant was horrendous. An absolute joke of a place.

Top class food have been using them for almost 20yrs

As always very tasty and comfort food. Also new delivery driver is lovely too x fast delivery! Arrived hot!

Very good food, I would really recommend the salt and pepper chips. Quick delivery 10/10

Chicken noodles smelt like someone pissed on them,Chicken balls we're very slimey, worst Chinese food I've ever had!very disappointed, rang them said get refund off just eat,ffs get a grip!

Food not good this time first time I’ve not been happy with there food

missing items and some of the food cold. never had a issue with them before today

it didnt even come to right address

Food was good, apart from the chips which were dire! Deliver was shockingly bad, I phoned more than once and promised it would be “5 minutes.” Over an hour late from the first time given and 30 minutes late from the adjusted time. Such a shame, because the food was nice.

Very Good Food and very lovely staff

Food arrived 40 mins late food not really warm had to warm up in microwave

We always take chinese food from here. Good service, good food and a friendly staff.

As with all delivery services it would be a great idea to tell you up front the delivery charge, that way you can budget accordingly

very sweet lady and good quick service.

It’s like they’ve changed staff as the notes we put, which are always listened to were missed, the food was dry and flavourless. I’ve been coming here over 20 years, could be time for a change

Very nice food , very good service , I’m impressed

Best chinese takeaway in cardiff so far!

been using Lucky Chef for almost 20 years! never had a bad meal or bad service ❤️

Lovely little place, really generous staff. Have ordered before and would order again!

Food is unreal and great friendly people

The duck wraps are always great and the beat vegetable spring rolls!!

Friendly local chinese takeout, highly recommend

lovely Chinese but didn't get the poppadoms that I ordered. said I'd get a refund..

such nice staff and lovely food!!

Driver never turned up and then tried to charge double to deliver. Food was cold when it turned up, didn’t even apologise and then tried to blame me

Wonderful people and wonderful food. Loved it highly recommend

asked for delivery at 18.00 as I was in work and it was delivered 20 mins early so when I got it was cold

I love their schezuan beef. Absolutely stunning. The other items are extremely tasty as well.

Best sweet and sour chicken I've had in cardiff

Ordered here fairly regularly previously. They have decent deals and used to have a nice light, not undercooked or too greasy batter on their chicken balls. The last 3 orders have had the wrong sauce (may as well not order at that point), the batter on the balls is too thick and the middle is raw, the chips taste old like they've been fried twice, and the egg fried rice tastes weirdly like lemon. Not sure if it's actual lemon or someone spraying down whatever it's stored in. Either way it's rank. That's our last order. Not worth it even with a refund. (I'd all pictures of the gooey uncooked batter, but I don't have the option)

Great Service, good food. Can’t complain!

lovely people & really good food

Excellent service, very nice staff and really good food.

Lovely food and amazing customer service! Very happy, would definitely come back.

Food amazing <3 and lovely service

I have always enjoyed visiting this Chinese restaurant. They offer very good service and the food is great 😁

The rice sauce and pork chow mein was lovely but the spring rolls were for not a better word vile they were full of Bean sprouts and tasted awful. Not usually one to complain but they aren’t cheap. The chips were also dry and alsmost like yesterdays batch 😢

A tasty and affordable local that is run by a friendly family who were helpful and give a rapid service.

Hands down the best Chinese in Cardiff! Been coming here for years, great veggie options and lovely service!

Ordered on Uber eats, food was amazing. Dishes weren’t padded out with onions like many restaurants do and food was full of flavour. Definitely be ordering from you again 👍🏻

we called at 8.25pm, which was the estimated maximum delivery time. they said the driver was not there yet and could tell us the time of arrival only once he would be back. they ende up estimating 15-20mn more to wait. he arrived at 9.05pm. Poor quality products: prawn crackers were stale, the rice was swimming in a liquid of weird colour (same colour for chop suey). it tasted like gravy. the pineapple fritters were like reheated and very greasy. disappointed, it's the last time we order there.

Best Chinese in Cardiff, staff here are very friendly and the service is quick. Highly recommend!

Unbelievable food apart from moving beef

Good service, good food and very friendly staff

Staff have always been lovely and the food is always delicious. This is our go to Chinese in Cathays!

This is our to go Chinese takeaway. Always great food, friendly staff, and fast delivery

Lucky chef is always hot and fresh, we love it and staff are always so friendly :)

Friendly staff and really fast service

My favourite local Chinese takeaway ☺️

Lucky Chef has been our go to Chinese for a while now. Excellent quality food and great customer service. Would highly recommend.

Order didn’t arrive! Lucky Chef has lost a customer!

As we ordering a quiet regularly, we could noticed changes in menu. Recipes changes, items removed. Food taste different too. Not sure if chefs or management changed but its really disappointing that the varieties of egg fried rice have been reduced just to pork and bbq pork,as my family have learnt to love it and each of us would order it with different protein. Altogether gave 3* for the speed delivery but not sure if we'll order again just because of the convenience of the right combinations

food was stunning and portions are huge. Will definitely order again

Food is amazing , tasty ,good temperature and good portion ! Also staffs are friendly and definitely I will order again from them !

Great customer service and very kind people Food was Delicious

Nice place to have Chinese takeaway

Highly recommend , food are amazing and good portion !

Food was early but cold. Disappointed because food is normally spot on

The mixed veg fried noodles were good. I just wish the container had been full. The pineapple fritters were watery, so not sure if order then again.

Staff always very friendly, and tasty food.

Staff very polite. Delivery was very efficient. Food was very delicious. I would definitely recommend them

Very delicious food , quick delivery, good price. I highly recommend 👍

Microwaved garbage that arrived 30 mins late. Full refund received, thank goodness.

Don't bother. Take your order and then when you arrive tell you the system is down and they aren't taking orders? Waste of time.

We decided to try a new take out fair enough that sometimes people can be last but it was 15 mins over the deadline, We the food was received it looked like it had been left under a heat lamp Crispy chicken was rock hard the chips were chewy . The ribs were nice but the sweet and sour chicken balls were nasty they were undercooked a lot!! I don't leave many reviews but please make sure that the food is edible before you send it out had to throw most of it out which is ashamed as 60 quid is a lot to spend. Please do better for other customers thank you.

absolutely delicious and and the portion is generous ,also the price is reasonable definitely will back again

Over hour late, food cold. beef and onions & noodles have leaked. Chips all over floor as when picked up bag it was so soggy where chips been in bag so long it tore open

Very delicious and good portion , very lovely and friendly staff ,high recommend !

Lovely and tasty, yet another great meal!

Very delicious food, delivered on time. Nice dining experience.

Food isn’t here yet and is 25 minutes late. I have tried to contact the restaurant but there is no answer

It’s 8.15 and my food is still not here any news on delivery

Their prawn crackers are addictive, and the crispy aromatic duck pancakes are a must-try. Always a hit at our family gatherings

The service was top-notch. The staff was attentive and friendly

This place never disappoints. Every dish is bursting with flavor
