Lucky Star in Brighton and Hove

Delivery was on time however the driver was annoyed that he had to get out of the car in the rain. They missed off the bottle of coke we ordered. For a refund for that though. The chicken curry was bland, felt like the curry powder hadn’t been cooked out so had a bitty texture to it. Special fried rice was also bland, no seasoning at all despite there being so many ingredients in it. The chicken balls tasted off. Unfortunately very disappointed with the food. Won’t be ordering again.

The food was so greasy and salty. The chicken balls were nasty the chicken was so cheap and rubbery. Do not order from here

Honestly the worst Chinese iv ever had,

I ordered a meal from here tonight, it consisted of chicken balls and curry sauce, special curry, egg fried rice and crispy seaweed. It was at my door within 20 minutes which is really good service for a weekend. The food was of good quality, I really enjoyed my meal Get that lady on a race circuit I was expecting to wait at least 45 mins to an hour! Thank you

As always th food come piping hot and was so nice, th family loved it, always great food from this place, delivery guy was very friendly and greeted us with a smile so in all 100% happy……

I really wish I could say better things about this takeaway. It had been my go to for a few months and really enjoyed it but I had a few negative experiences that make this place not worth it. I got a really overcooked dish to the point of being inedible. Thinking this dish is 7 quid I wanted a refund for the order (was happy to send it back). I called up and got hit with 'we will let the chef know'. When I did ask for a refund I was told it's not possible and they could only do better on the next order. Taking accountability in a business/resturant is so important and it's sad to see that the reviews of this place have caught up to them. I have been an advocate for this place many times, but I can't support this choice of chinese anymore. Don't expect any good customer service from this place, consistency is key and they dropped the ball.

food was average was disappointed for spending just off 40 pounds and didn’t receive any prawn crackers. i had to be told if i wanted them i had to be pay an extra 3.20! food was edible but won’t order from here again

Really tasty food and delivered on time. Super friendly delivery lady too. Thanks a lot!

Great Chinese, one of the best take away Chinese I’ve had.

Strange yellow sweet n sour sauce. Wouldn't buy again.

Great! Tasty hot food, good portions, not greasy and no bright food colourings. We had prawn Tom Yum soup (spicy, delicious), sweet and sour Hong Kong style chicken, crispy beef in capital sauce, king prawns with water chestnut & bamboo, duck chow mein, beef in black bean sauce. All excellent. Will order again.

Always want to give 5 stars as the staff and food are usually excellent. Sadly today though the salt and pepper chips were somewhat of a let down. They tasted like frozen chips only partially thawed out. The rest of the meal was very good and I'm just hoping this is a one off.

Really nice but missing pork dumplings

Always ample food and yummy. Shame the prices have gone up.

Very poor food via Uber Eats, I wasn’t expecting much as it had gone 10:00 bit the food was terrible… order at your peril.

We love Chinese but this was the worst! Absolutely NO flavour! Total waste of money and worst spare ribs ever tasted in my life! Avoid

good portion size and all different food was full of flavour. highly recommended.

Awful food, worst ever had in fact! Bland food that left me feeling like perhaps all 3 of us had Covid as you couldn’t taste any flavours! Won’t be going back here in a hurry!

Can’t even be bothered to pick up the phone. Been trying to get through on the phone for over half an hour!!!

Great service and the food was delicious

First time we have used this takeaway and it was a good experience. Lovely tasty food and delivered hot and fresh. We will return.

Food is always great, if I had 1 moan it'd be I wished the omelette was bigger, but that could just be me.

Love the salt and pepper chips, just wish I had the option to choose between normal chips and the salt and pepper ones when ordering an omelette. Still, food was lovely.

Food very disappointing, vegetarian duck was dry and flavourless. The vegetable satay was just spicy hot, no satay flavour at all, not even sure if it was the correct dish. Black bean vegetarian chicken was the only part of the meal we quite liked.

Probably the most vile Chinese I’ve ever eaten

Yet again amazing food, hot and delivered with care.

asked for no prawns and no mushrooms in my curry and it had mushrooms olso when you order a cold drink you do not expect it to be warm.

Food taste was very poor. I'm very disappointed.

Hardly any meat in chow mein, minimal prawns in prawn toast and greasy seaweed, not crispy...

Food is always great and fast delivery. 😊

Always very good and fast delivery.

They changed the tofu style in the black bean dish 😔

Good portion sizes. Veggie chicken was quite nice. Other dishes a bit bland though

Fab tasting hot food all the time

Food was okay but a bit tasteless.

Just ordered a chicken chow mein from them on uber eats, and it had absolutely no taste, so dry, and I couldn't even give them a feedback on uber eats.

Most places give you prawn crackers, this one charges £3.20… they’re not worth it. Spring rolls didn’t taste great and were soggy. Beef curry had an odd texture and was v chewy, sauce was nice tho, just a shame the Chips were only partly cooked and as soggy as the spring rolls. Egg fried rice was clumpy as if overcooked rice was added to the egg fried rice and the sweet and sour chick was soft.

Great food, very tasty. Still very hot by the time it reached us. Will order again.

Ordered delivery food was piping hot and the portions where massive! Would recommend the pork balls - nice big portion of red sauce im happy :)

Food had no taste, egg fried rice didnt have any egg, kung po chicken was bland no flavour chicken wasn't nice, not worth the money at all

Food always tastes great, arrives hot and early.

The food was bland and over cooked. Possibly the worst Chinese takeaway I have tasted

Good Chinese, don't normally review but was impressed

Made a mistake, I wasn’t allowed to cancel the order. Paid for food I never got, refused a refund.

The dumplings were way too thick and had too much flour and the filling was rubbish. The meat subs were too soft and everything had no flavour. Super expensive for really bad veggie/vegan food.

It was delicious, lots of different veggies (not just carrot and onion), good sauces. Everyone very full and still had leftovers. Will order from them again.

Wanted to try something new, definitely loved the fritters apple in syrup it was delicious if you a got a sweet tooth 😋

The food that came has given our whole family bad stomachs. It was very low quality food.

Absolutely delicious food,definitely will order again.

I do miss prawn crackers - very disappointed not free with order

Disappointed to get no free prawn crackers

lovely tasting food,delivered on time,my only concern was that the food was just barely warm and i had to microwave it.

We selected the first set meal which was labelled vegetarian, the items sent were not vegetarian - they were the meat set meal for 1, the menu does not appear to linked correctly & restaurant was not helpful when we enquired, being hostile then hanging up.

Food arrived hot, 10 mins early...brilliant! Very tasty will use again.

Despite the current reviews. I’ve ordered twice with Deliveroo and the food come on time, was a fresh food, delivery driver was good, I am very pleased with their food menu. can’t complain the only odd thing was, twice that they’ve sent me chips that I didn’t order… wonder why? Keep up the good work 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Very good service lovely food very clean

Food was ok. Sauces were a bit watery and the meat a bit rubbery though.

Maybe make Chinese food more colourful lol

The person delivering the food did not know how to look up an address and had no idea where I lived. This will put me off using Just East again in the future - and never this restaurant again. Food wasn’t great once it arrived either.

Wish I read the reviews online before ordering. Ordered after a really bad day to treat myself just to wait 3 hours for no food. Rang up the restaurant just to be yelled at. Half an hour later my food came , but everything I ordered had been tipped out Into the bag. Waste of money I barley have and just the cherry ontop of an already hard day

Basic Chinese food....no real surprises on the menu chicken chow mein a bit bland...but ok. Staff very nice. If you are not looking for anything too dynamic....this is a good place.

I would give this 0 star if I could, a late night Sunday order when lots of places were closed and I wish I hadn’t bothered. The food was totally inedible, the mixed starters shocked me, the crispy duck wasn’t crispy nor the crispy chilli beef and the seaweed may as well have been actual wet seaweed fresh from the sea. Everything was shocking - pictures to demonstrate this as words just cannot

Lucky star have improved their menu and now are adding fresh vegetables to their fried rice and noodles - a great improvement from before

the worst chinese i have ever ordered. never again,. i wouldnt even give this one out of five.

Yuk....half cold when arrived, soggy, tasteless and waste of money. Most went into the bin needless to say. When we phoned the restaurant to speak to them, twice put the phone down on us. Terrible food and terrible service.

Just received my order from Lucky Star. Spent around £30 and what I got was not worth this at all. The salt and pepper chips are literally raw potato that just taste like nothing. Along with the egg fried rice which tasted like microwaved packet rice. The chow mien although it was a 'dry' dish, was literally like plain boiled noodles that tasted of nothing. The salt and pepper chicken wings were all gristle, and barely resemble chicken underneath the black coating. Rang up to complain about my order and was shouted at by a rude lady who kept denying everything and blamed all the food quality on the fact it was delivered by Deliveroo. Disgusting food, made worse by horrible customer service. Cans of coke even came warm, and although it shouldn't be expected, there were no prawn crackers which is a rarity when spending over £15. Please see photos below for the reality of ordering from Lucky Star. Rarely would complain about a small independent business but it was horrific.

worst chinese meal ever thought i was ordering from trafalgar st brighton through deliveroo realised too late to cancel put my favourite salt chilli king prawns in the bin ate some rice and beef kun po rest in bin this was an insult to food

Very disappointed with the service and the food this evening. Missing food, awful service and the food that did turn up was disgusting. Missing food: all the condiments for the crispy duck and the curry sauce. Awful service: I called the restaurant and I couldn't get a word in. The lady on the phone actually screamed at me and hung up. Disgusting Food: Dry ribs that should have had BBQ sauce on. Dry crispy beef that should have had chilli sauce on. Duck was nice but no condiments to go with it so pretty pointless. Wont be going again.

Moved from Hove to Brighton. Happy to drive and collect. Best chinese food ever. 5 stars all day long.

Love this takeaway! Having searched Hove for the best Chinese, we have found it! Friendly service, efficient delivery, good pricing and delicious food!

Extremely disappointed with this takeaway. Chicken seemed processed, pork balls were extremely tough and chewy. Even the swat and sour sauce was sickly sweet. The fried rice was extremely dry. For a new customer experience, really disappointing.

The food was so tasty! Sweet and sour chicken is really good. The special rice is a must

Some of these reviews it's like I ordered from a completely different place. It was just bad and dissapointing. The fried prawn toast had no prawns in it and was just fried bread, the crab and sweet corn coup was just gloop with seafood sticks(seafood sticks contain 'crab extract' and should not be considered as crab meat), the vegetable curry was really unappealing. I also checked their hygiene rating and they are a 2 out of 5. It's just not good enough.

We have been looking for a decent Chinese takeaway for some time and are glad to have found this hidden gem! My wife is Chinese and thinks the food is delicious and authentic.

Pretty average really, I prefer their competitors a couple of doors down

Just had a really nice meal tonight, it's a family run take away with very friendly and fast service. The for was awesome, highly recommended

One of the best Chinese takeaways in my area ..highly recomended .

Very friendly staff, and the food is so tasty! Best Chinese around. :)

Fast, friendly and most importantly tasty! Only down side was they'd run out of chips! It was new years day, so I guess they can be forgiven for getting caught out. I will use them again.
