Lucky House in Carlisle

Simply delicious, great food and excellent value. Just be prepared to wait, because it’s very popular. A special birthday treat for all the family, vegan, vegetarian and GF.

Having read some good reviews for this place, I decided to give it a try. Like 90% of Chinese takeaways in the UK, they clearly don't cook the food on the premises. Most Chinese takeaways buy in ready made meals in bulk from a supplier and heat them up to order. Unfortunately, this is one of the many. The food is tasteless and the chips were frozen chips which is always a tell tale sign. Very poor.

We had a take away and the food was luke warm and average in taste and quality. This is not somewhere we would order from again.

Got another three meals tonight. Chicken chow mein was disgusting. All tried it and went straight in the bin. How hard is that to get right! What a waste of £30! Couldn’t believe the cost either. Last two takeaways this bad as last one crispy chicken was like cardboard. Been going for years. Had enough crap meals. Live to far away to take it back straight away. Going back to the other one.

Yet again: Amazing food, gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options. Great value, quick service and top quality. Unfortunately my Dr has suggested a little less, to improve my cholesterol levels:(

Pete fyfe here from Dunblane living in Brampton. I ordered food today again as I do each week and it was fantastic hot and fresh as always. The meal today was Egg fried rice with Chilli, deep fried king prawns and beef and onion with black bean sauce this was delicious. The lady who usual serves the customers is very polite as are all the staff and they are always pleasant and happy to talk. Thank you lucky house great food & service and very nice people.

The food taste good, staffs are friendly . good service . Best Chinese takeaway in Brampton .…………………………………………………………..

Disappointed was hungry and had something else for tea as food not appetising prawn crackers good dog loves them

Amazing food, gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options. Great value, quick service and top quality.

Everything tasted the same special House curry was disgusting Will never visit again Frozen chips Frozen chicken balls and over cooked No quality at all just rushed and thrown together Terrible

We were dubious to order due to a few odd reviews but we had ordered the last time we stayed in Brampton, so thought we would give the benefit of the doubt and try again, so glad we did!! Beaut food, we ordered prawn noodles, chicken curry, sweet sour chicken, rice, chips. Spring rolls, prawn toast, ribs, gravy, rice, shredded chicken! All food was lovely, all 6 people happy. Would recommend and would order again. Thanku very much x

We weren't sure about coming here, given some recent reviews - but we needn't have worried. We ordered 3 dishes - duck in plum sauce, chicken and vegetables, vegetables in black bean sauce - with boiled rice. Prices were reasonable and the young woman who served us was friendly and competent - knew exactly what was gluten free. The food came quickly, less than 10 minutes, and was just what we hoped for: nothing fancy, just good wholesome Chinese cooking with good, tender meat. Good-sized portions - we don't have huge appetites, so we'll get a second meal out of the leftovers! We'll certainly be back before long.

Found photos of menu on internet. Out of date - £20 meal for 2 was £27. Not told that during telephone order. Presumably also out of date as duck, cashew nuts and pineapple had NO pineapple again not pointed out when I ordered it, and no warning of the chilli in the sauce - not even 1 chilli icon. Left most of it. Wouldn't go there again.

How upsetting.....then again, had my doubts. We ordered a Chinese take away, not for the first time, from Lucky House. Allow me walk you through my experience. The last time we ordered some food and when I got home I was shocked. I did wonder if MSG was used and was nearly sure that it was, this time it was confirmed. I ordered ''chicken in satay sauce'' .. what do you expect? A thick, nutty, tasty sauce.... Alas! Once again sweet and sour sauce...with the complete lack of peanuts :-( I was upset, but not surprised. Allow me to explain. About a year ago we got our first take out from LH. As I grew up surrounded by many different cultures, I was sooooo disappointed. I told my other half that the food was awful and that it all tasted like sweet and sour sauce. I was informed by neighbours and others that lived nearby, that I had probably just had a bad experience, however, I know what effects MSG gives - also, how can five dishes taste the same? Impossible! That said, their chicken and prawn balls are lovely!! Ohh, in case you are wondering, I did call back to complain this last time...I asked why the chicken satay didn't have peanuts in it....she said ''chicken satay with satay sauce'' then I asked ''why does the chicken satay I bought taste of sweet and sour sauce?'' she said ''chicken sweet and sour with sweet and sour sauce''. Soooo as I got nowhere and I just said ''how about using some peanuts with your satay sauce and don't use any MSG?'' In the end I had a delicious meal of cheese on toast!!! :-)

This is a great Chinese takeaway. I had a beef Curry and fried rice and it was absolutley georgeous., i am now a regular at this takeaway and it is without a doubt the best Chinese Takaway around...defo recommend .

Sharp shard of Plastic in the vegetable chow mein, sugar instead of salt on the crispy seaweed making it inedible, everyone was put off their meals, what a waste of money I would never go back. That shard of plastic is dangerous and could have caused an injury

Disgusting service. I went in this evening to order food for me and my husband. Drove 3 miles home to find that they had missed the chips off our order. Not the end of the world, mistakes happen. I went back to the shop as a curry on its own isn’t much use. When I told the lady she’d missed the chips, she was adamant I hadn’t ordered them. She then goes into the kitchen screaming and shouting, banging pans around and making a right carry on. No idea what she was saying, but I’d say she was most definitely slagging me off. So Iv now paid for the chips that were missing to eat with my stone cold curry. All she had to say was “sorry, didn’t hear you ask for chips”, but no, she’s had a massive tantrum and ruined my evening. It’s such a shame as I really like the food here.

I can accept a tiny hair being found in my food but this is something else, very shocked as was recommended the place.. but what disappointed in the result.

Frequent user of this take-away when I used to worked locally so popped in when passing through Brampton. Good menu large portions very clean. Ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken witch arrived very promptly. The bill was under 10 pounds and I only had a Twenty so used that. I made sure the man taking the money knew I was giving him a Twenty. Now the disappointing part. He still tried to short change me, same old stunt I've encountered many times. Quick to apologise but he knew what he was up to. The Sweet and Sour was very average to.

This is a great Chinese Takeaway. There’s a great choice of items on the menu and the food is tasty. They’re punctual in getting food prepared and it is served piping hot. Waiting Area is spacious, clean and tidy with newspapers to read while you wait.

We have been to Lucky House a number of times in the past and it's been great. This time it was not nearly as good. Four starters and four mains ordered with assorted sides. The seaweed was bland, which was a shame. The four main dishes all had a very thin sauce, rather than the thicker, more glossy sauce we have usually found. We will be back, but we were disappointed. It was super busy, but we had hoped for better.

Good food, friendly service and a good sized clean waiting area. Been a few times now and always enjoyed the food.

The food here is superb the staff a really nice hot fresh food very impressed with the service chicken balls with chillie beef onion black bean sauce with chillie egg fried rice best Chinese food I have had thanks

We used this chinese on the 31st of December for a family meal as we were holidaying in the area and it was lovely! It was cooked in ten minutes and it was good porition sized. All the meals we had were really good.

I came here for the first time tonight by chance passing through Brampton. The place is immaculately clean and my order for 4 people was ready in 10 minutes! Very friendly service! The food was fantastic and not at all the usual greasy take away! All nicely packaged in plastic tubs also. Will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely our go to takeaway for Chinese food in the area! Lovely and clean inside which makes it a very reassuring and pleasant dining experience. Food is great quality and prices are pretty reasonable too! 100% would recommend - especially the Special Spring Rolls!

Usual Chinese menu, but really good quality and value. Only takes cash, but plenty of ATMs in the vicinity. Come here once a fortnight and have never been disappointed. Only tiny minor downside is the reading material in the waiting area: The Sun.

Was Staying in the Sycamore Gap minutes walk from here for 3 nights! Few of us got take out in the Friday, all on the Sunday.

Use this take away regularly and have not had a bad meal from here. Extensive menu with fast service, would definitely recommend.

Tried it opening week and wasn't impressed but recently it's been great. Order's always right and the food tastes lovely.

We have eaten from here a few times now including a meal for 3 last night and the food is always really good and reasonable. It's always ready at the requested time we never have to wait.

Food is very good indeed. Staff are pleasant and professional. Definitely the best in Brampton. We are just about to order now in fact.

Have ordered from here twice now, the staff are pleasant and accommodating! (We asked for beef and broccoli although it wasn't on the menu and they sorted it it for us! Even saw the cook run up to the co-op to buy the broccoli! ) food always taste fresh and delicious. Menu is huge and prices are very reasonable! Will be back again and again and again!

I can highly recommend this place. Excellent service and good food. The staff are friendly and the prices are very affordable. Most authentic tasting Chinese food in this part of Cumbria.

Needed a good Chinese for a long time. Good menu fast service. Shame it is just a take away and not a restaurant where you could eat in. Food never seems fatty.

The quality of the food from here really is excellent and the food is always prepared on time and piping hot when collected. There are three Chinese take away's in Brampton and this is by far the best.
