Lucky Chinese Food

"03/24 - Even with only 1 person ahead of me, takes more than 10 minutes to get 1 3-item combo because they are waiting for fresh noodles Even though older noodles are at the ready, and they know I gotta drive bleeding mom home (she tripped outside) for bandages on her knees. Today's combo included undercooked baby corn in the shrimp dish. 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. .... Slow service is due to the staff. Eg to get some shrimp & vegetables, they might use the scoop to move it around 2-3 times in the holding tray before scooping it up to put it in the takeout box...each time!! 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 $15.21 after tax. That's about a 50~% jump in prices versus two years~ ago! Food quality can be uneven. For example, the BBQ pork is occasionally harder than a tough steak."

"Always love Lucky Chinese. Place has been amazing since I was in high school. Portions almost exploding out of the box. Food is always hot and the place stays busy enough that the food turnover keeps food fresh. Just wish they had cream cheese wontons."

"House special chicken and the fried squid are amazing every single time. Great local spot for cheap eats. It's unhealthy but who cares, when you're getting takeout you know what you've signed up for! The service is on the slower side but if you avoid going from 12-2PM and 6-7:30 PM you should be alright."

"If you love Chinese food and want a lot for your money, this is the place. It's worth the wait if there's a line. Last time I was there, i was given an extra egg roll for waiting. The food is fresh because they're always cooking to keep up with orders! The ladies up front work their buts off getting the orders out."

"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!"
