Lucky Sky Takeaway is a Chinese takeaway at 39 Finnerty Avenue in Howick, Auckland, with a Google rating of 4.5 from 173 reviews. Customers mention the fish and chips from the specials menu and the chips themselves, though one reviewer found the fried rice and sweet and sour pork disappointing.
A good Chinese takeaway is judged on how the basics are cooked, so fried rice should be light and fluffy, and sweet and sour sauce should be balanced rather than cloying. Specials menus often offer the best value, especially at takeaways that also serve fish and chips. Many regulars order a mix of fried dishes and a soup or steamed dish, which tests the kitchen across different styles. Asking which dishes are made to order is a useful tip, since freshly cooked food tastes very different from food that has waited under the lamp.
For fish and chips or a Chinese takeaway meal in Howick, it is a local choice worth trying for the chips.
