Best KPortal Reviews

Very disappointed with the food, £58 for mothers day meal which my mum and dad left most of. Chicken chow main, the chicken didn't taste of chicken they left all of it. Awful taste. The salt and pepper chips where cold and tastless if it wasn't for the curry sauce there would have been no taste at all. Crispy shredded beef tasted like gristle and just tasted of fried fat again awful. Wouldn't recommend
Recommend crispy beef in chilli sauce and the Singapore fried rice. Always filled to the top and delicious. I always pick it up so can't comment on delivery but for pickup almost always ready within 10 mins for me.
Food was tasty and THE PRICE was amazing and the cheapest chinese takeaway I'm tried yet. Will be ordering again
Placed an order, waited 2 hours to learn the delivery driver took it to the wrong address. They offered to make it again and send it back out so I said what if the driver takes it to the wrong house again? The woman then laughed and said yes he probably will. Absolutely disgusting service when I spent £35 do NOT go here
I read the reviews of Lucky Star before I ordered, which made me hesitant. But as I was very hungry & so fancied a Chinese, I placed the order anyway. I was given a 30 minute delivery window & food arrived around 10 minutes into this. It was piping hot, with very generous sized portions &, most importantly, delicious. I cannot comment on other customers experiences, but this is my honest one. Whether you do or not, I will definitely be ordering from Lucky Star again.
King prawn ration on the greasy, tasteless special chow mein. Chips at least are ok but it's extremely hard to order on the phone, very uncaring and rude. Most the meat tasted awful... Lock up your dogs and cats if you live near the shop!
Oil is not a sauce! please take note. Think but one of the King prawns slid out the container so fast it landed back home to its mummy prawn.
Ordered from here a few times, it can be a bit hit and miss, but overall more hits than misses.
Overall we've ordered the following;
Prawn Crackers - 4/5 Crispy, good flavour, and hold their shape for scooping.
Prawn toast 3/5 - Greasy, not enough prawn topping in my opinion.
Prawn rolls 5/5 - Banging, good chunks of prawn and a nice flavour overall, go great with sweet sour/hoi sin.
BBQ Spare Ribs 4/5 - Always decent, not the best ribs in Preston, or the meatiest, but certainly can't be complained about.
Duck 3/5 - The first time it was a 4, as we got the full 1/4 duck, but on the most recent order we just received a container of shredded/chopped duck meat along with a leg bone as it to say "promise it's a quarter". In addition to the above disappointment the meat was greasy, cold, and sad...
Sweet Sour Prawn 5/5 - Separate Sauce is a big win in our household, the prawns always arrive crispy, steaming hot, and lightly battered. Inside are big, juicy, succulent prawns that are delicious by themselves, with the sauce or with something else.
Singapore Vermicelli/Noodles 5/5 - Star of the show, Huge portion and LOADS of meat, chicken, pork, prawns, King Prawn, the lot. Really tasty sauce with fresh crunchy veg, it is a bit on the spicy side, but worth the burn. Personally prefer the noodles to the Vermicelli, they work really well with the dry "sauce".
Special Fried Rice 4/5 - The rice and the fillings are on point, but the sauce let's this dish down, it's very bland and brings nothing to the table apart from gloopy "meh"ness. Recommend asking for it with sauce.
Chips and Curry Sauce 4.5/5 - Banging, again not the best in Preston but always on point, personally I add a lashing of salt and vinegar when it arrives, good spice kick from the curry.
Overall I think some of the reviews have been a bit harsh, or just had bad experiences.
There have been a couple of occasions where the food hasn't been GREAT but generally Lucky Star gets more things right than they mess up.
