Lucky Garden in Carmarthenshire

Stopped here on spec our first night in Llanelli (had planned to go to the Thai place across the road, but it only had four out of five on its hygiene rating whereas this place has five out of five). Hadn't read any reviews but liked the vegetarian options, including ramen which is technically Japanese and not often found on Chinese take-away menus in the UK. My partner is vegetarian and I'm fussy about meat so I usually choose vegetarian options. Chinese take-aways aren't always great at veggie food but what we had from here was delicious. We ordered tofu ramen, salt and chilli tofu, mixed veg fried rice and prawn crackers. The prawn crackers were fresh, the mixed veg fried rice had a really good selection of veggies and a good flavour, the salt and chilli tofu was crispy on the outside and creamy inside, and the ramen was to die for. The broth had a fantastic flavour, the tofu was creamy, the noodles and vegetables perfectly cooked - and again a good selection of veggies. Also the portions were very generous - we couldn't finish it all, though we tried hard - and was mostly served in recyclable foil or cardboard containers. And the prices were reasonable. The service was quick and friendly; they warned us the food would take 15-20 minutes to prepare, which pleased us because that means it's real food freshly made. Looking at the reviews on here makes me wonder whether this place has changed hands recently, We are already planning to get another take-away from here during our holiday. Would definitely recommend.
