Lucky Chef

Locals in Torquay have found a real gem in Lucky Chef, where the focus is firmly on fresh seafood and Chinese-inspired rice dishes. This takeaway brings a coastal sensibility to its cooking, letting the quality of the ingredients take centre stage rather than relying on heavy sauces or shortcuts. It’s the sort of place that understands the value of a perfectly cooked grain and a sustainably sourced catch.

The menu leans into the bounty of the sea, with dishes that highlight the natural sweetness of shellfish and the firm texture of white fish, all paired with expertly steamed or fried rice. Think plump prawns, tender squid, and flaky fillets, each treated with respect and a light touch of soy, ginger, or spring onion. Whether you’re ordering a simple egg-fried rice with seafood or a more elaborate platter, the freshness is unmistakable. Order directly online for a meal that tastes like the sea, without the sand.
