Kyle V Food names Billingham Chinese takeaway as the best

Kyle Gibson, known as Kyle V Food and regularly shares reviews of restaurants, takeaways and food venues with thousands of followers on social media, recently returned to Lucky 88 Chinese Takeaway in Billingham to put its menu to the test.

In a video shared online, the viral man described the venue as “one of my favourite Chinese takeaways in Teesside”.

Kyle, who boasts over 236,000 TikTok followers, also said that the ribs were “spot on” and claimed the “satay sauce was honestly the best.”

He recommends the prawn toast, chicken skewer, and mixed sweet chilli with prawn, chicken and beef, which he dubs as “very, very nice”.

Kyle also tried the roast duck in “sweet sauce” and dubbed it “absolutely perplexing”.

He was also delighted to get a fortune cookie at the end.

One commenter wrote: “Round corner from me, will have to give it a try”.

Another said: “You should try it with plum sauce with crispy chicken with chicken fried rice my favourite.”
