Lucky Date in Dumfries & Galloway

We have been using this lovely Chinese restaurants for quite a long time, it has alway been really good, friendly staff and good service, we were a party of 6.

Food was amazing and staff so friendly. 😁

We found this restaurant for dinner as our hotel did not provide dinner. It was very busy with takeaway meals throughout our time there. We ordered four dishes and the chef came to us and advised that we had ordered too much. Brilliant service as he could have just cooked it and we would have left it - more money for them. We ordered lemon duck, mushroom foo yung, chicken chow mein and yung chow rice and a G&T each but then left off the foo yung. We also had a basket of prawn crackers on the house to nibble whilst we were choosing. The food came quickly, and was placed on heating trays like we used to get in the old days, along with another complimentary basket of prawn crackers It was all very tasty and well worth the visit. We would go again.

We had Three Dishes Between us and found too much Onion in every Dish.

Loved our visit here will definitely be back. The staff were so helpful and friendly and willing to go the extra mile even when not required. Food was great absolutely loved it here and prices are great

First I have to say the staff were very welcoming and attentive, so the review isn't a reflection of the service. However, we found the food overpriced and unremarkable. I don't believe the price correlates with the value of food. I could only finish half of mine and my husband felt ill immediately after the appetizer. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things, but I can't say I'll be back to try something else. The space itself is nice and clean.

Nice staff food hot just a bit salty for our liking but not bad

Awful, won't answer phone, but will take other people's as after the phone ringing out about 4 times when you phone back, it will say this person is on another call.

listen i’ve rang yous 37 times and you ain’t answering im hangry and i want chicken balls. Your food is stinking anyways. Mystic garden 4 life

Great service friendly atmosphere excellent food recommend it

Went on a Monday night. It was quiet but food was lovely 😋

Normally this restaurant is good but not tonight,, had friends visiting and was so embarrassed by our take away, we had to go back as some of the order was missing and then the food was tasteless and the sauce was so thin. The only good thing was the prawn crackers. If this is going to be the norm for Lucky Date I’ll not be back

I loved this meal, Mr G. Henderson was totally wrong in my opinion! My server Simon was very nice, helpful and honest, and i’m 99.9% sure that Mr Henderson was collecting a takeaway, so he was either back tracking on his review, or a complete fibber. 10/10 food aswell.

Always pleasant and friendly staff. Food is excellent. Menu extensive. Repeat customer both takeaway and sit in.

Honestly, don’t bother. Waste of £60 for them to miss something off and have to drive all the way back. Chicken is really bad, rubbery. Salt and pepper is just 99% garlic, everything else was flavourless and poor quality. Best advice, look somewhere else

Lovely food and lovely staff. Would love to return.

Fantastic sit in Chinese. Made space for a late group of 7 on a busy Saturday evening for us Food was brilliant, service even better

Friendly staff , and good food .

Appeared to be a very quiet Saturday evening, but took 20 minutes to get our drinks order taken, then another 10 minutes to get served, However staff were very pleasant. Chicken had been cooked from frozen (batter doughy inside) no flavour and the Prawn Toast, was over cooked and leathery. Chinese style duck, Duck itself was nice, but served with a large portion of bland bean spouts with gravy, no Chinese vegetables or spicing (unsure how duck covered in gravy constitutes “Chinese Style”). To add insult to injury it was CASH ONLY PAYMENTS. Won’t go there again.

Wow, excellence service, excellence food. Nice surroundings. Will defo be back.

Yum! Fabulous dishes from this Chinese. Beef curry and deep fried honey chilli chicken delicious and reasonably priced as well. Very quick service.

Great restaurant, staff were lovely and friendly great atmosphere very busy, great choice on menu. food excellent generous portion sizes. We will be going back. Remember to take cash

Great wee restaurant, waiter very pleasant although ran off his feet. Was cash only . Food was very nice . Was very busy as was Saturday night so recommend booking a table

Delicious food served quickly by polite staff . Cash only . Restaurant was busy on a Sunday evening with couples and families eating .

Spot on thxs great restaurant 👌 👍

Popped in on a Sunday evening. Restaurant was very clean as always, the food was excellent and the service from Jason and the team was brilliant. Great atmosphere and service Always.

Amazing service. Fantastic food and very helpful explaining the menu.

I used to get from here all the time now use mystic garden. Everything is hot I don't like spicy food I got Kung po chicken it was red not orange made my nose run. I can only get plain stuff like fried rice when socializing with friends.

Staff and service were very good, I felt that my meal was slightly underseasoned but that's probably my taste

Went in here and placed my order, stood for 25 mins waiting on my meal arriving only to be told " it will be another 40 mins yet" . Exactly the same thing happened 8 years ago the last time I used this place , so I will definitely NOT be back worst customer service ever!!

Polystyrene boxes (health and safety). NO GLOVES used in the kitchen or anything. Only long hair held back with a hat. Food sometimes really cold. Staff very cheeky.

The place was extremely clean, mid week it was fairly quiet just two other parties. Both starters were excellent so we were a little disappointed with the mains which were well presented but a little bland. However the server was excellent, unobtrusive but anticipated our needs. This was a nice break on our long journey home... We will be back... As the saying goes 🤔

As Chinese take away go it's good but way over priced. The same would cost £20 in other restaurants, but this was £30. The sweet and sour sauce is like a tiny wee tub and even if you do spend £30 you don't even get prawn crackers like most places. Food was quite good and on par with other take aways so the price was a bit steep.

The welcome, the service , the restaurant and food 100% fantastic. Tasy well cooked tender meat. Good for vegetarian options Served in a professional , warm and friendly environment. Booked a table. Quick and attentive service..The waitress Grace went that extra mile noticing the needs during service..service with a smile and a great advocate for some of the dishes

The place was lovely and very comfortable. Food was reasonably price and very tasty. The waiter was outstanding, very friendly and nicr

this is our usual go to take away but this time the food was freezing when it got to us and the chicken was tough and chewy. looked as though it has been re heat a couple times too. disappointed to pay what we did for the food to come in that state.

Need to put heating on but apart from that really decent.

Food was excellent with helpful staff and quick service, will be definitely be back.

Nice restaurant although a bit quiet service was quick and food was served quickly it was hot and tasted good worth a visit👌👌

Food is disgusting. Cash only!!

Terrible, it tasted like fish, Phoned up to complain and got told they don’t sell fish , avoid at all costs ,

Returning from a football match, this was or stop for our evening meal. Stopping in the town on a Sunday night we started at a hotel which said that food was not available after 6pm. This was the same along the walk through the town. Asking where would be open was told the Lucky date, calling in we got a table. Staff was very friendly and chatty. The food was tasty also. Served very quickly and was hot. All four enjoyed the meal.

The food is nice, but the prices are a little expensive. The portions were good and the food was fresh. I would recommend a visit.

First time back whilst visiting friends. Has been redecorated which makes it feel much brighter and welcoming. Food was nice, I enjoyed mine. Wife has the peking chicken which she normally raves about and can't wait to go home to get one, she said wasn't a good as usual. Pleasant evening had though and staff friendly.

After being told 1.5 hour for delivery it has been almost 3 hours. Would second thought getting another or do collection.

The food is amazing, the take out trays and packed full, so much flavour. Good prices and a wide variety of food selections. You can also ask about any allergies thay have a list. It's beautiful inside, however I've only had take away.

As always excellent food in a friendly atmosphere.

Good meals, good prices, good staff. Nice place to dine.

Excellent and friendly service. Great food at a reasonable price. Beautiful modern and clean decor a plus for a very enjoyable meal.

Great food, friendly staff. We will be back ❤️

Best chinese takeaway I've had in years. Will definitely be back.

Very tasty freshly cooked food, good sized portions

As it was our wife’s birthdays we decided to book a table for 4, we arrive on time welcomed in by Jason, lovely table , pleasant settings, has been redecorated since my last visit, it was reasonably quite as it was mid week, great menus, excellent food and service, all Covid measures were in place, a very pleasant night with friends. We will be back.

Worst takeaway service ever, food Stone cold, sauces so cold they were congealed. Definitely won't be using again. Far too long to wait for such poor food. I wouldn't give a star if I had a zero star option.

Outstanding meal and even better service.

Lovely evening, good food great company

Really nice food and great staff

Very nice restaurant lovely food x

Food was really good. Staff were pleasant and Clovis measures in place

Always good food, excellent service.

Food is amazing love the new decor and Jason is fab on front of house

Not to keen since covid and no masks need worn

Fantastic service , friendly staff and Amazing food .

One of the worst Chinese takeaways I've had .place has went down in the last year

Always tasty food and good service.

Ordered a Chinese takeaway tonight, we got the honey chilli chicken, salt and pepper chicken & sides. Only thing i can say is they don’t take the SALT and pepper chicken lightly. It was so overpowering and had obviously been used excessively I couldn’t even taste pepper. A let down on this dish. Also must note the lukewarm food and lengthy delivery times.

Brilliant chicken curry and fried rice. Not had a curry for ages so it tasted so much better

Very disappointed. The special fried rice came in a polystyrene box which isn't good we stopped serving hot drinks in polystyrene cups for health reasons, it was cold, there was quite a few odd tasting mouthfuls which was spat out and the rice was very dry as if it had been sat for hours, very little flavour and hardly any prawns or meat

Think that was the worst Chinese I’ve ever had

They do a lovely chicken chow mein and chicken fried rice best I've had for a while

Food always nice & hot,polite staff

Ribs were strange tasting and the large ones were undercooked (red/pink) in centre. All of our dishes were pretty poor to be honest. Pork was lacking in taste. They didn’t listen to our order, said no veg but came with veg. Only mushrooms in curry but it came packed full of onions. Won’t be back for a while

Great service and excellent food.

No sauce on bbq ribs, prawn toast to hard,very expensive

nice food with good prices. good service

Beautiful food great service thank you

It was cold in the room. The food was poorly presented. Dated decor and background music. The waiters were nice and professional.

Had a good meal with good banter from waiter.

Live this restaurant gorgeous food lovely staff x

Great food and very friendly and helpful staff. Would certainly come again. Well worth a visit.

Well, 2nd Chinese takeaway of the holiday and hoping for more taste than the 1st. Soup was nice as were the salt and pepper ribs and chicken. A bit stingy with the chicken skewers with peanut sauce (and there could have been a few more ribs). The main was OK but as for our first takeaway was a bit lacking in flavour - it was a Thai chicken thing, isn't Thai supposed to be a bit hot? The guy on the front desk was a bit too abrupt for my liking too. Coming to the conclusion that we are really spoiled in the Lothian region with our takeaways. Flavour wise and portion sizes they win both times.

Cold place did not like the food

Disgusting greasy food terrible chicken curry and ham in a chicken chow mein. Avoid and use somewhere else have been sick since eating. 28/92019

Excellent food and quality service, well worth a visit.

Went on a Sunday where there is a special on. Three courses for £12.90. The quality of the food was good as was the service. Only had Carling on draft which is a pity as its an awful beer in my opinion.

Brilliant service considering we arrived after 10pm. Quick with providing menus, quick with taking drinks order, allowed enough time to peruse the very extensive menu. My order was Lemon chicken with sweet and sour sauce, and house special chow mein. Large portion size, ate the lot. My wife's order was orange chicken, and vegetable rice. Again large portion size, kept some for breakfast. All staff were friendly and conversational, prices were good, decor was good. We tipped well, and we will be back!!

Food is Good! Can have few to many onions in base. Service is prompt.

Not very impressed dont do gluten free and couldny advise me on anything

Nice takeaway,,, I'll be sitting in next time

We were new to annan and decided to have a night out and saw the lucky date and it certainly was not a disappointment.

Never eaten in as we live so close by that we usually just get a takeaway. The food is always good quality in generous portions and the service very polite. I would recommend 😀

Really lovely. Food is excellent and you can sit and chat to friends for as long as you want. Five Star.

Good Chinese but waiting times too long

Prawn curry was lovely and service was excellent

Two or three times had a carry out meal and although it's nice and tasty it always seems cold.

Great food and very friendly staff especially Simon.

Never had a bad meal from here, always perfect! Been eating here for years

They went out of their way to accommodate my dietary needs - being gluten free - and tailor made a dish for me - which was lovely!

Ordered a family takeaway delivery tonight and it came cold and no mini spring rolls. Will never use again

well its just was another good meal , all staff make you welcome .this was a regular visit i must say annan is lucky we have good restaurant ,. keep it going lucky date ;CHRIS
