I went because I had heard the chef previously worked at my dearly departed favorite, Gr*nd Vill*ge. The "soup of the day", hot & sour, was pretty identical but the veggies & tofu in it seemed to be cut smaller. The chicken fried rice is quite good but just didn't have the same je ne sais quoi. I can't quite explain what was missing. I'd still return.
Mildly disappointed they didn't serve hot tea. I asked because I could see a machine & teapot but apparently it was broken. Still don't know why it couldn't be made the usual way: boiling water & bagged or loose leaf.
Quaint but adequate seating area. Friendly staff. Really good prices. The fried rice shown was about $10, enough to enjoy & have leftovers.
The outside of the building is nothing to look at but the inside is just fine. The food though... the food is phenomenal. Please don’t pass this place up for its exterior. It’s amazing, plentiful and cheap. Their egg rolls are the best I’ve ever had. They offer complimentary hot tea and soup. Their Thai tea is awesome. Will definitely be back
I only come here for my chinees food because the food is always fresh and good. The couple is always nice. My twins eat up all the chicken fried rice while I eat up all the egg rolls. Listen I know good Chinese food from growing up in spanish Harlem. They are legit and I'm sad to find out today that they might be leaving, due to the market going up. Let's get out and support them to try and keep them around. Its worth the money.
Our main Chinese go to! Hole in the wall mom and pop shop. Small menu but solid staples. Can easily miss the location as it is dark,small, and tucked in between two larger sized buildings. Delicious (soy sauce based) fried rice, General Tso’s Chicken, and House Chow Mein (the thin, Cantonese style noodles which are very tasty also). Very good Hot & Sour soup. Also highly recommend their egg rolls, Kung Pao Chicken, Curry Prawn, or Beef Broccoli entrees!
Excellent Chinese takeout at reasonable prices
Fast and friendly service. There is a sign that says they are closing on 11/30/22, which is unfortunate.
So when you see this place from outside for the first time, you will be like wuhhhhh. But once you get in, it is nice and cozy. People are nice and smily. I can tell they are beloved by people of industrial area. Cheap too. Most of menus are under 10.
Don't let the outside fool you. This place is clean on the inside and staff are very friendly. My 9 year old said "we were very lucky to find Lucky Chinese Restaurant". Seems authentic and I would definetly go back. I would have taken a before picture but it looked so darn good I couldn't wait to eat but here's a shot of the leftovers. Pork fried rice, chow mein, and sweet and sour pork.
Love this place, the chef is some one I've come to get to know very well only after a local favorite restaurant closed down due to family reasons, leaving me searching for years the taste of Chinese cuisine that I call correct authentic, until.. jackpot, lucky's only later to find out he was the cook of the local favorite who opended uphis often place when the last closed down!! Curious? Give it a shot
I've been a patron of Lucky Chinese for years. The food is always delicious and the owners are friendly. Sad to say, they will be closing for good on November 30th. Drop by and give them a try before you miss out.
Never judge a book by it’s cover. Based on external appearances alone, I would’ve kept driving, but the pictures of their dishes intrigued me.
LEGITIMATE HOLE IN THE WALL! Ordered family style and tried every plate on the table, everything connected with the right texture and flavors.
Have been looking for my next hidden Chinese food gem after Seven Stars closed. It’s not Seven Stars, but it was so good on every level.
