Lucky Star

Lucky Star is a long-established Chinese takeaway tucked on Legsby Avenue, a residential side road in the inner-south block of central Grimsby a short walk from the Welholme Park area. The shop runs as a small counter operation rather than a sit-down restaurant — the room is clean, well-decorated and has wheelchair access with some waiting seating, but the bulk of the trade is collection and delivery rather than eat-in. It is cash-only, which is unusual for the central Grimsby cluster and worth flagging for first-time customers.

The menu runs broader than most of the area's Chinese takeaways — duck dishes get pulled out as a house strength in repeat reviews, alongside a long chow mein list (the mixed-meat and beef chow mein are most frequently named), bird's-nest dishes, Cantonese-style noodle bowls and the standard sweet-and-sour, curry and fried-rice selections. Vegetarian options run as a parallel section rather than a few add-ons. Trading is Wednesday through Sunday from late afternoon, with Monday and Tuesday closed — the standard rest-day pattern across the Grimsby Chinese cluster, but worth knowing as the shop does not deviate. Reviews on Restaurantji and Restaurant Guru settle around fresh cooking, generous portioning and good value.
