Lucky Star Chinese Takeaway, Holderness Road, Hull By Matthew Ward Age 15

The takeaway we chose was Lucky Star Chinese Takeaway on Holderness Road. We ordered set meal c for 4 people which consisted of:

Spare ribs big Beef satay Mixed vegetable curry Chicken mushroom Garlic king prawn Prawn crackers Rice and chips Seaweed Free fortune cookies

Here's what I thought of the meal ...

Spare ribs - Plenty of ribs, great amount of sauce on them, enjoyed them a lot. Beef satay - Beef was slightly chewy, not soft enough, but very nice. Mixed vegetable curry - Vegetables were excellent! Cooked perfectly and weren't too soft.

Chicken mushroom - Chicken was very nice and the sauce was great. Garlic king prawn - Prawns were okay, slightly tasteless but still acceptable. Prawn crackers - Great prawn crackers. Melt in your mouth.

Rice and chips - Rice was good, not too soggy, and the chips were average. Seaweed - VERY NICE! Crisped to perfection, but quite salty. Free fortune cookies - FREE! But the fortunes were jokes not fortunes : (

Overall it was one of the best Chinese takeaways I have ever had and I strongly recommend it to anyone who lives in the area. It has a restaurant next-door called New World where you can eat the food inside if you don't want to take it out. Takeaway Rating - 9/10 Lucky Star Chinese Takeaway 305 Holderness Road Hull (01482) 225252

Food and Drink - Sleepers Bar, Newland Avenue By Fiona Carr
	Recently under new ownership this has gone from a shaky start as one of the first cafe bars on Newland, rather than the already chi chi Princes Ave, to an established favourite for the discerning.

He told me; all you had to do was ASK! Because we were a large number Read more...
