Lucky Dumpling

4.13.24 I am finally writing my review for Lucky Dumpling. Yes, I am giving them 5 stars!! The service was great, the food was great, the restaurant was clean. It is a little far from us, but we were in the area so I picked this place to try. We were so happy we tried it! We ordered dumpling, bok choy, pan fried pork buns, scallion pancake, fried cheese wontons and fried rice. A lot of food I know - but we were starving. Omg, the bok choy was excellent! Cooked just right, the scallion pancake was delicious too. Everything was super good. We talk about this place all the time. We will definitely be back. Oh and The bar looked to be fully stocked as well.

Came in for lunch on a Sunday.First thing we noticed was that there was a sewage smell. Hoping it was from outdoors and out of their control. Looking at the menu, there were a few Americanized-Chinese foods but a lot of it was stuff you would find in Chinatown.Braised Sliced Beef Hand Drawn Noodle Soup $13.95This was a spicy beef noodle soup. The broth is spicier than usually but I liked it. The beef was plentiful and super soft. On the menu, they have a full informational page about Lan Zhou noodles, which led me to believe that they make and hand pull their noodles in house. I don't believe that is the case and they just use packaged noodles. Nevertheless, great dish for the price.Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage Chili $18.95Sour soup with a white fish (probably tilapia) and veggies. Little spicy, very tangy, just what the wife was craving on a windy day. I thought the price was a tad high for what we got but still hit the spot for my wife and that's what matters most.Spicy Pork Garlic Sauce $16.95I couldn't tell if this dish was authentic Chinese or Americanized Chinese, but in the end, as long as it tastes good, does it really matter? The pork was sweet and soft and well seasoned. Great dish and something very easy to get if you have folks who want to try something new but are still cautious.Stir Fried Green Beans $14.95Standard except we got this dish cooled down. Felt like someone else ordered and then cancelled it about 15 minutes before we arrived so then we got it. Flavor was good, temperature and freshness not so much.This is one of the few Chinese joints around the area with more than just General Tso's Chicken/Lo Mien/Orange Chicken. Give them a try if you want to explore a bit beyond your typical Americanized Chinese dishes.

Had a Sure friendly waitress. Was a little scared when I was looking at the prices on the menu but I can say that the portions were really large and I didn't finish what I ordered. Food was excellent and I am looking forward to leftovers.

Why 4 stars? Because it satisfied the need but we weren't overwhelmed. --- --- ---I was excited to see a new Chinese restaurant come to the area. More excited to see that they had dim sum. And the MOST excited to see the high ratings piling in!I knew that I wanted to order the shrimp dumplings and was torn between the walnut shrimp and the beef noodles. Fortunately my wife was happy to share those with me, as long as I got a side of fried rice for her. Marriage has so many benefits.Shrimp Dumplings: 5-stars. Definitely the highlight of the meal and everything I hoped they'd be.Beef Noodles: 3.5-stars. These were fine, but I've definitely had better. The noodles were very clumpy too, which was odd. I prefer the thicker lo mein style noodles, but this got the job done.Walnut Shrimp: 3.5-stars. Similar to the noodles, these were fine. Not bad, not amazing. Truthfully, my opinion is tainted by my favorite place from Tampa having such amazing Walnut Shrimp that I'm always a little disappointed when I get it somewhere else.Fried Rice: 2.5-stars. It was so mushy that it wasn't even the texture of rice and the flavor was a little odd. Rounding up to 4-stars overall for a friendly experience despite it being a brief one as I just popped in to pick up my food and then came back for some extra sauce.

Stopped by Lucky Dumpling for lunch to try a new to us place. I'm glad we did! Lucky Dumpling has really renovated. We had dined at the previous establishment & they have made it really nice in there. Great job. We were graciously greeted when we walked in and immediately seated. They weren't very busy but we're still very attentive. Pepsi products on tap. We started out with Pork Soup Buns & Fried Pork Dumplings. It was our first time having the soup buns & we fell in love. They were so delicious. Our waiter, I didn't catch his name, recommended using the chili oil. Wow! Enough heat to taste but not too overpowering. Delicious paired with the soup buns & fried dumplings. Since we got 2 "appetizers" we chose to split an entree, Honey Walnut Shrimp. Just the right amount of sweet and a tasty, beautiful batter. It was our first time visiting Lucky Dumpling & I assure you, it won't be our last!

Wow now that is what I call Chinese food!!! Everything was so fresh and homemade not processed. I walked out of there not feeling bloated. Everything was so flavorful I cannot wait to come back here! My kids are picky eaters and they devoured it!!! Best rice and beef and broccoli ever!!! Chili oil is made fresh in house and was perfection!!!!

Rounding up a 4.5 on food due to exceptional service and portion size of their lunch. We tried shrimp fried rice and they used very good sized butterflied shrimp, the beef noodles were also very good, and I tried their Gen TSO Chicken that was my least favorite and my daughter ordered three different dumplings for the table all were good. I'd definitely put this place in my weekly rotation if I lived in the area.

This is our favorites Chinese restaurant. It's right by the lake. If you crave for authentic Chinese food, this is the go to restaurant. Highly recommended.

This place is amazing. I would say a hidden gem but it's in a prime location on lake Conroe. The food is incredible! We've been twice now and every single dish we've ordered has been top notch (kung pao chicken, hot & spicy shrimp, salt & pepper shrimp, flaming beef, stir fried green beans, stir fried hot beef, chili oil dumplings). Our family likes to order several dishes and share. The portions are generous and the flavors have been superb. I'm so glad our area has a fantastic Szechuan Chinese restaurant!

Location is great and the restaurant layout provides a hopefully experience when you enter.However the high ratings really reflect the lack of local Conroe knowledge of Chinese food. I wonder what people's reaction would be if the food was really traditional and as tasty as it should be.I'm providing the update from 2 stars to 1 star to try and balance out the reality for another random reader.Be careful as this is not the long awaited mission by great Chinese restaurant for Conroe.
