Frankie and his wife has been in the Chinese food industry for over 30 years, they gained their first culinary experience in Hong Kong prior to relocating their careers to Cookstown Co.

The name Lucky Boat '' stems from our ancestral background as fisherman's whom employed the use of sailboats, this method of transport became the core of the family and has supported many generations. Often the phrase " " "Yat Fan Fung Shun" is used within the fishing community which is simply a salute to fellow traders meaning "Plain Sailing or to sail smoothly."

We don’t have many local options and because this place used to serve great food we keep trying and being disappointed by it. Consistency, flavour and quality are all now very poor sadly.

What happened tonight? Normally think the Lucky Boat is best chinese takeaway in the locality. Ordered Shredded Chicken with Garlic & Chilli Sauce+ Fried Rice & Crispy Peking Duck with Pancakes. Discovered at home no fried rice or any other side with our main. The dish was not something you could eat without rice but we live to far away to make a fried rice round trip. Duck was sliced/diced and sauce like tar. What happened?

We are regulars at this Chinese and its very hit and miss. Tonight I had king prawn chow mein. It was foul ! Most of it went in the bin as the noodles were so Gloopy they were all stuck together and the consistency when in my mouth made feel ill. Also very few prawns with this meal. I don't usually leave a review but after a few bad meals I felt the time had come to speak out !

Food was pretty awful, tasted like it had been reheated, duck was super dry and tough, noodles were sticky , Peking sauce could have held a brick it was so thick.
would not recommend

Myself and my husband are regular customers however this evening we had food missing from our order. It has happened before and it’s been resolved which is fine. We don’t mind too much as we understand mistakes happen. Tonight though when we rang to say food was missing, the girl offered to send out the chicken balls. My husband asked if we could get the whole order again and hand back the original as we were sharing and the other food would be cold by the time we would get it. She said she would check and she spoke to the other girl called Jenny who said “how do we know that they are actually
