Lucky Star

Lucky Star is a small Chinese takeaway on High Street in Heanor, a short walk off the Market Place. The shop sits in the unit that earlier traded as Golden Peacock and runs the standard Cantonese-takeaway menu — sweet and sour, salt and pepper, kung po, foo yung, chop suey, chow mein and a separate roast-duck and sizzling stir-fry section — at competitive prices, with several main-course dishes such as salt-and-pepper crispy chicken and beef chow mein hovering around the five-pound-thirty mark on the menu.

Collection from the counter on High Street is straightforward and delivery runs across central Heanor and into the adjoining residential streets. The kitchen leans towards quick turn-round rather than long pre-order windows, which works well for the central Heanor weekday trade. The shop runs its own ordering site and is also listed on Uber Eats.

Reviewers consistently mention the speed of the delivery and the reliable house specials. For central Heanor it is one of the cheaper Cantonese options and trades to that price point.
