Lucky China Restaurant

Food is good but the hours and random takeout only days make this place not worth visiting, stopped by for lunch and there is a sign that today was takeout only. So closed on Wednesday and Saturday, Sunday and random other days takeout only. Paired with the fact that the restaurant is run down mark the end of our patronage for this establishment.You try and support family owned businesses and they do everything possible not to keep you coming back for more

Lunch special Mongolian Beef is what I recommend. Comes with fried rice, egg soup, 1 wonton and 1egg roll. The beef is pretty tasty, slightly sweet but flavorful, which is why it's one of their customer's favorites. I have yet to try any other restaurant that has the same flavor as their Mongolian Beef. If you like a little kick, ask for their hot mustard on the side to dip your beef in, with each bite. If you want a dipping sauce for your wonton and egg roll, ask for a side of their sweet and sour sauce. I also usually add white pepper to my soup.Definitely a hole in the wall so don't be surprised with how it looks. Which is why I usually choose to call it in and take it to go. I usually interact with a young friendly woman that's been there for years. Take out usually takes 10-15 minutes.

Lucky China is still good! Lot of the older uncles and service workers dont work there since Covid hit them hard but food is still good! So give patience! To the young cook who took his time learning the recipes! It's family owned! And wife & husband are doing there best! Food is good then most Chinese restaurants in the south bay! Show them support!

Dingy little joint right off Carson st west of Delores.Met a good old friend for lunch here and questioned his choice but played along.Reviews were mixed but general consensus was "Mongolian beef" so my mind was made up before I even walked in the joint.No alcohol (bummer) but the Mongolian beef was as advertised... pretty effing tasty. Portion sizes were such that I could only make it thru half and they kindly offered to pack up the rest for take home. Gotta say, they were very pleasant and accommodating.On another note, a scurvy looking homeless fellow, zipper down and waiting for his junk to sing happy birthday or some $hit to us, walked in during the middle of our meal and felt it to be a wise idea to interrupt our meal and beg for cash. Well, TBH, I'm very philanthropic, give generously to multiple charities monthly/annually but have a difficult time dealing with those that don't seek help / treatment. Needless to say, I "shoo'd" him off and the young man working there "did the rest"...Bottom line, meal was good, service was good, atmosphere was sketch at best...

Dont know what was so great about this place except the lunch specials back in the early 2000s lol. The food was never that good, or fresh. The ambiance really sucked if you dined in because the workers would literally be food prepping on the table next to you...no gloves or anything. I'd look past all of that if the food was bussin...alas, not a bus in sight. It says open but when I came recently the place was closed, no sign or anything. There is much better Chinese food out there....dont settle for this place.

Best Kung Pao chicken! Wish they are open like before. So inconvenient when they are closed on weekends.

This place used to be our go to for good Chinese food but the quality of the food, the service and the atmosphere of the place has gone way down hill. I will not return here, we came in and ordered chicken chow mein among 3 other dishes but the smell of the chicken was so bad that as soon as they brought it to the table, I wanted to throw up. it smelled as if the chicken had been left out for a couple days and then cooked. The girl said the chicken was fresh and switched it for something else. No apologies she blamed my nose for being overly sensitive. You used to be able to come and sit down and enjoy the meal now the restaurant looks like a storage, garage, with half of the place full of boxes.

First and foremost the place needs renovation. The place needs much to be desired. Cleanliness is number one if you want people to eat in your restaurant.You cannot appreciate the food because the surroundings is not appealing.Hope they renovate their place and people will be happy to eat there.

Food is always delicious! I live in Northern California and I have to come to Lucky China every time I'm in town.

My family has been coming here for years. But after Covid happened this restaurant went down hill. Not only are they a bit pricey now which is fine because I know everything's cost is higher. But their portions are way smaller than they used to be and I feel like I'm not getting my moneys worth anymore. They now give their food on smaller plastic to go containers instead of their ceramic plates. Not worth it anymore!
