Lucky Chinese Restaurant

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.

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.

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.

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!

They are so fast especially since they make it after you order it. It's very hot inside the restaurant so I couldn't imagine dining in-unless it's winter. The food is so good. I recommend trying it as you have to try it and believe me you'll be hooked! You get a soup with every order, the to go boxes are nicely filled. Each order can feed 2 people. I never give 5 stars.
