Lucky Chinese Food

02/23-40 minute wait 6pm Thursday. Staff still cripplingly slow. Prices gone up, now almost $15 for a 3 item. 11/22-Wait times are the same slow, usual - 20-25 minutes during dinner time 6pm Friday with the line wrapping around to the entrance. It's mostly due to the staff. Eg to scoop up some shrimp vegetables for your combo, they might scoop to move it around 2-3 times in the tray before a final scoop to put that in your foam takeout container...each time!? So you can wait several minutes just for 2 combos to be filled. Lucky used to be a bargain with 3 item combos under $10 stuffed with a ton of food, but today, a 3 item combo cost $14.02 after tax. That's about a 40% jump in prices versus a year or so ago! A 3 item+2 item is just over $25. Unfortunately, food quality has been uneven the past couple of visits. For example, the BBQ pork today not only has little BBQ taste inside the meat, it's so hard and tough! Even a Denny's steak is more tender!

Found out that people come from all over to eat their fried calamari. They make tons of it. Their other food was okay but it's really the calamari that is best. There were probably 4 customers before me in line who bought a pint or a quart of calamari then all the people behind me which was about 10 also bought a pt or qt. My papa got the fried rice and orange chicken and liked it and I got the house chicken and noodles. I didn't think the house chicken was very spicy considering it has jalapenos in it but when I finished my food as leftovers the next day I enjoyed it. We both had trouble finishing what we got the first night so ended up having it next day. Would do it all the same next time. I haven't found any place better near me yet so I probably will go here again when in the mood for Chinese food. Papa was a little disappointed they didn't have sweet and sour pork but the orange chicken ended up being enough for him anyway. One thing you should definitely be aware of before you go is have cash ready to pay for your food. It is a cash-only business.

CHEAP! Quick and a 14 dollar plate fed 2 of us. Line was busy but moved fast so you already know what's upFood: 5/5

Was recommended this place by a friend and the food did not disappoint. Normally i am a broccoli beef, orange chicken guy, but the variety looks good, decided to try the bbq pork and the house chicken with chow mein. It was really good.Food: 5/5

Fried calamari is really good. I think I prefer this place to Panda Bowl on Edinger.

Wow, huge servings! This was my first time here and now I know what everyone has been raving about! This is Chinese fast food at its best. The prices are comparable to a popular chain of similar restaurants in the area, but so many more choices and double the serving size; the pack the boxes so full they barely close. Be prepared to wait in line as they are very popular. You can order ahead, but even for that there is a small wait. I havent had good egg foo young in years, theirs is the size of my face and it was really good! I also tried the kung pao chicken, the bbq pork sooo good and the fried squid. All very good. I will definately be back!

This place is always busy. There's always going to be a 10 min wait or so today it was more like a 20 min wait. I came here because i hadn't been here in a long time and i was in the area, and i was craving Chinese. Customer service is ok, food is ok as well. Is not worth the wait. I probably won't come here unless I'm in the area and really craving Chinese but i wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. On a positive note, i was short $1 . This place is cash only, so i told lady to remove one of my items since i was short $1 however 2 random people in line offered to pay the$1. I ended taking$1 from a young man. Thank you so much if your reading this i really appreciate it.

Sure they give you a lot of food but it was just gross. Prices are equivalent to say Panda Express but chicken chow mien noodles were soggy and oily nchicken tasted like dark meat turkey. Orange chicken was burnt and didn't taste like orange chicken. We spent $35 and gave entire meals away after taking a bite of each.. very disappointed. This is equivalent of the $1 Chinese food buffets. Customer service was good and place looked clean at least...my only positive parts of this experience.

Very fresh and good can't complain about this food for sure! There's quite a few choices so that's why I'm giving this a 3 instead of a 4 . You need to come up with your choice ultimately, and there's lots of choices on the menu. Start off with two items and work your way up from there. I'm just saying! Good luck and hope your experience is a good one!

Love this place! This is the second time we’ve eaten here and we have loved it. You get lots of food for what you pay for! For 3 items plus fried rice/chow menu it’s only $10!!! My husbands favorite so far is the black pepper chicken and mine is the house special chicken. Fried rice is a must!
