Lucky Date in Carlisle

Choice on the menu is great. Food is always really good. I have visited a few times but on Saturday the lady behind the counter was arguing and complaining about a younger member of staff in front of her to a driver and to customers. It’s very unprofessional and made the atmosphere awful. It’s not my closest Chinese so probably won’t come back as it was a very uncomfortable environment to be in.

Best Chinese in Carlisle love everything totally recommend

Great takeaway have been going for years pleasant staff, food is excellent

Family of 4 on holiday, first time at this restaurant and we couldn't fault it, service was first class and all our food was very tasty, we had starters veg spring rolls, mains salt and pepper crispy chicken, sweet and sour chicken cantonese style, chicken chow mein, special chowmein, rice, curry sauce. It was all hot and tasty. Would highly recommend. Young man who served us was very helpful and couldn't be more polite. Will definitely return next year.

Use it regularly sadly the Noodlles were poor and we never ate them. Will order again but will avoid the noodles

BBQ ribs come with no sauce at all, taste of nothing. Very overcooked and chewy, dry meat. Took nearly 2 hours to arrive

Another lovely takeaway delivered,it came earlier than expected but this wasn't a problem. Thanx again Lucky date for prompt & tasty food.

Not the best food but it's not bad, and it's open every night until late, which is useful. So many other places in this backward town shut at 8 or 9, but this place is open until 11.

Order at 7pm its now 10.20 & still no food. Phoned to be told they were very short staffed & would be another half hour! Unbelievable.

Duck in orange or king prawns honey and chilly. Going there few times month and its perfect food. Prices good. Try many in carlisle and this one always best

Salt and pepper chips were warm ups...very disappointing 😐

Ordered at 7pm it’s now 10.45 and still no food! The wait is ridiculous! Phoned to see where it was about an hour ago and it was out with the driver…he’s either walking here with it from china, buggered off home with it for his tea or it’s not coming! Either way I’m absolutely starving! Will definitely NOT be ordering from here again!

Ordered my scran at half 7 it's now half past 9 and I'm still waiting. Should have put my order in last Friday it might have come by now. Starting to think Lucky Date is actually in China and not Carlisle . Are they cooking my salt and pepper chicken by leaving it next to a high wattage light bulb? Are they frying my rice by the grain? Peeling the spuds with a pencil sharpener? Fuming as well cos I had a white magnum in the freezer for my afters but that's gone already because I'm obviously pya hungry. I rang up to find out what's happening with my food and was on hold for 5 minutes while they were looking for my order which isn't great. I think I'm starting to hallucinate a little bit as well now the couch is beginning to look like a spring roll. I just want curry sauce coursing through my veins, is that too much to ask? This is the worst Friday of my life.

Amazing 👏 will be going back soon

Absolutely fantastic food I ordered a crunchy noodles special with prawn crackers it came in no time flat excellent delivery driver was friendly and when I got the food it was a mix of vegetables high quality meat and brilliant noodles, was pleasantly surprised as there's not many places which have that quality or standard nowerdays, was also given some spring rolls which was welcome 😁 simply fantastic will be ordering again!

Love the service and of course the food salt and pepper prawns are amazing

1st time I've bought from here,food was great 👍 so it won't be the last ty x

Spend over £20 and you get free prawn crackers and mini spring rolls, food is tasty too

Don't live local but every time I'm in Carlisle this is my go to Chinese. Food is always hot. Fresh, plentiful and real good value for money. I would say restaurant quality food. Keep it up.

Always great food and service..

Very basic looking takeaway but nice food, good portions, and average prices. Delivery available.

Got shredded peking chicken, egg frid rice and chips .. They chucked in some free vegetable spring rolls . Food was hot and tasty. Good portions, shared it with the Mrs. Long delivery time but to be fair I ordered peak time on a Friday night. Driver was pleasant and polite .

Excellent service and value for money food would recommend

Nice not greasy,arrived quickly thanks

Ordered a salt & pepper munchies box got a box of salt even the ribs were just salt can't eat it never Again

Love this place! The food is Fantastic, love the freebies when you spend so much, friendly staff One of my favourite takeaways

Reasonably priced, delicious Chinese food. Free prawn crackers and spring rolls.

Great food always lovely from here.

Great little take away. Food has always been consistently good, the menu is huge. You can order online and collect in about 15 minutes.

Just had a salt & pepper munchie box, best takeaway in carlisle, amazing food

1st and last time I order from here. Waited nearly 1 and a half hours. Came cold and the food was horrible couldn't eat any of it nor could the kids. Never again!!!!!!

Best Chinese takeaway in Carlisle. Food is always hot, super tasty and plenty of it too.

Super take away ready not long after I arrived to pick it up. Phone orders and walk in orders can get free spring rolls when your order is over £20.

Our local for chinese food. Quick delivery, and very quick in shop service. Free items on orders over £10. Excellent quality and never disappoints.

Really lovely rice, very light and not overpowering curry sauce either. I didn’t like their prawn crackers they were brittle and see through. But overall very very nice indeed.

10/10 this place never disapoints!! Hot, fresh and early! Thanks for another great meal and polite delivery driver.

Excellent service food was hot delivery guy was very nice and friendly I just love the food from lucky date would not go anywhere else.

Disgusting I got so ill of there food

Asked for Hong Kong sweet and sour chicken expecting it to have ordinary chicken pieces in it and in fact there was what appeared to be popcorn chicken in it, which had the most unpleasant texture that I've ever had..... Shame because its usually OK

After an hour wait for food to be "Out for delivery" (which was stated when ordering so reasonable and not the complaint point). Food ended up being transit for 50mins! Fairly enough there was an address mix up, but when the driver called from the first address he stated "I'll get it to you asap" after waiting 25mins from the delivery drivers call, we called the takeaway, concerned that our food had been sitting in a car for so long. She explained that it needed to be returned to the shop and sent out with a different driver but it was on its way... Doubtful! As another 20 minutes passed as we still had no order. My friend recalled the takeaway and the girl who answered the phone was not only blunt, boardering on rude but also told my friend it hadn't been another 20minutes even when we have a time stamped phone log. Some saving grace was that most of the food was relatively hot on arrival except for additional sauces e.g. curry sauce, warm at best. We've ordered from here before tonight but won't be ordering or recommending again.

Absolutely shocking service! Over an hour late and woman on phone very rude!!!

Good food, service, I always pick up and do not have to wait too long while being cooked.

Thin crispy noodles in heinz tomato sauce was amazing defo going back.the can of fanta was cold aswell.

I really enjoyed my meal. I was late phoning order in. It was near closing time, but they were nice and let me order. It looked like a small family run business, good menu to my liking. I was happy with the price, not expensive. The meal came in good time and nice and hot. I got a free bag of prawn crackers because I spent over £5 and also a free bag of vegetable spring roll because I spent over £15. My meal was only £17 in total for 4 items. So with the extra free items there was loads of food. The portion size is good. The collection area was clean and covid restrictions of 3 people to collect at a time.which was good screens up too. I would definitely go back and I would recommend this place to my friends and family .

Best Chinese in Carlisle by a long way

Fab food and delivered on time. Highly recommended

Ordered at 6pm and told delivery would take 85 minutes. At 8pm our food still hadn't arrived. At 8:10pm the status online said it had been delivered. At 8:30pm we drove up to the shop to ask for a refund and at this time the polite delivery girl came back in with our order and had been to our house to deliver it. Luckily I had left a note on the door to explain where we had gone. We are now back home at 9pm, haven't had our dinner, are £18.50 down and waiting to speak to someone from foodhub. What a waste of our night off work.

Ordered through foodhub at 7.20pm.... 2 hours later and still waiting! Cant phone either as straight to voicemail and inbox is full so cant leave a message either. Total pisstake! Taking money and not delivering. If it ever does turn up, will probably be stone cold!

Waited over 3 hours for the order, Somethings are worth waiting for, this was not one of them. Never again.

Salt and pepper spicy box for 1 absolutely scrumptious and only £6. Top tip upgrade your curry sauce for an extra 50p so you get a large tub rather than a small you will need it for dipping your chicken balls in highly recommended 👌🏼

It was alright, there's better in Carlisle though

First time I have ordered from here and I will definitely order again. Really tasty food delivered quickly. There Is a fantastic variety of vegetable options and Tofu on the menu which is a refreshing change if you don’t eat meat!

A bit disappointed with delivery time...1h.45 min its a loooong wait..

Awesome Chinese great service great price

Affordable,tasty food with friendly staff.

Great customer service the lady that answers the phone was lovely and polite. Fast delivery nice and hot. Lovely food. Happy customer

It's an excellent takeaway, the first time I ever tasted salt and pepper chicken, the food is superb and the staff are first class.

Food quality has improved over the last 6 month since my VERY disappointing order. I'm glad they are getting back up to standard as I have always had good customer service from the staff and lovely meals

Love this Chinese, use it every time. The use of food hub makes ordering easy and the food is just delicious. Never had a bad meal and love the variety on the menu

Slow service and got the order wrong. Food OK but not likely to use again

Ordered on food hub 2hrs ago and still waiting !! Shouldn't be taking orders if you cannot order the products

Best Chinese in Carlisle. Won't order from anywhere else

Beautiful Chinese and super face delivery only took 19 min one time .

Ordering here most Fridays as tradition with my girlfriend, never get bored of it.

Only good thing about this meal was the friendly staff other than that the food was awful lots of salt, meat was way overdone and chicken was shredded to bits won't be ordering again.

Ordered online went to collect at time stated and still waited 20 minutes is shop for food to be ready. Tasty tho

Ordered twice now from here and on both occasions food was over half an hour late. The food was nice first time but the second time the food was cold, and the peking sauce just tasted of vinegar. I will not be ordering from here again.

Pure geer waited about 2 hours for a bit of dog scran ladgeful with no curry ruined my life I’ve now got dep

Fabulous Takeaway. Have used for years and will do for many more. Great selection of oriental cuisine and the best chips of any takeaway ever... Love it!

I ordered from here... and I was sick all bloody night. Never again. Was completely fine all day, till I ate the food I ordered from here. An hour after I was throwing up. I don't usually post a bad review if I've not liked the service, food or unhappy with delivery time... but this is the first time I've ever been badly off food.

First time I have used this Chinese will order again quick service very nice meal

Great takeaway, staff are lovely and service is always quick. They always give out free spring rolls with orders which is nice.

Consistently good food. Great Value.

It's ok not the best I've had but food is hot
