Lucky Palace Korean Restaurant

I ordered the LA Galbi and the Kimchi Jjigae.The LA Galbi was good but for the price, definitely would've wanted more meat. I've had other places that give way more meat. Good flavor though.The kimchi jjigae was also good but i'm used to it being more sour but still, so good.The banchan was delicious. No critiques.

I came here a few years ago and was back today as a local. Omg so good!! The galbi was so buttery and flavorful. Their banchan tasted good too; the kimchi had perfect flavor. I was kinda sad they didn't have kimbap on the menu so we got the kimchi cal lion pancakes instead. It was pretty good and large portion! We were also given a complimentary cinnamon tea (Sujeonggwa). It was SO good! It had a nice blend of spicy and sweet. A perfect way to end the meal.

My friend and I decided to come here after our hoop session. What I like about this place is that it's quiet & the music is not blasting like your typical Korean BBQ spot. We came here for lunch on a Friday & it was empty so they got us seated right away. Since it was just the two of us we chose the Combo A. It comes with 4 meats, steamed egg, lettuce salad, veggie pancakes & several banchan. They didn't bring out the soybean stew which I didn't mind because it's not my favorite anyways. Let's start with the sides, it was pretty mid in my opinion but I did like the macaroni salad. It was light & it balanced out the heaviness of the meats. The green beans & kimchi were decent. Steamed egg isn't my favorite but it came out steaming hot & it tasted pretty good. Their salad was simple but I like the sauce & sprinkles of sesame seeds. My favorite side was the veggie pancakes, it was hot, crispy, flaky & not too oily. The prime beef brisket was okay & kind of bland in flavor. I understand that pork belly is mostly fat but it was just too much. It was my least favorite. The marinated Kobe beef was decent but was missing some ingredients & needed to be marinated a bit longer. My favorite was their beef short ribs. It was tendered, flavorful & not chewy. At the end our server brought us some cinnamon tea. It's kind of like a dessert drink. It had a good amount of sweetness with a gingery after taste. Overall, it was a solid 3.5 stars but I'll give it a 4 because our server was excellent. She came by multiple of times to check on us & she even cooked for us which was nice. The decor is not trendy & more old fashioned but no big deal. For 52 bucks I felt they could've given us more but it was able to feed the two & it did its job. I wasn't extremely full but I didn't leave hungry either. Will I come back? Yes. This will be my go to spot for a quiet lunch with the homies.

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. Food was watered down and bland. We ordered three soups and all tasted like watered down and not make right. Flavors were way off. Kalbe was okay. The waitress didn't seem to know the menu or the food as she kept asking us which one when we placed our order and asked us to point to the item on the menu. The Gamjatang tasted way off. The broth didn't have pork taste. It was like a soup mix and they just added the pork inside. The galbitang tasted like water with green onions. My husband said his seafood soontofu tasted like soup mix and every watered down. We barely touched our food. My daughter had just white rice and my son ate the kalbe. All the other food was barely touched.

Food itself: Other than the Korean pancake and standard rice, the rest of the food did not taste fresh. It tasted old and off. Even the side dishes tasted weird.Service: the staff was friendly.Overall: I'd normally give it a 2 or even 3 stars. But despite the friendly staff, the food did it for me.

Korean is to Houston what Wonderland is to ALICEAnd please invite me over to drink from your CHALICEYou find my words offensive but I don't mean MALICEEven though I agree, I'm cocky and CALLOUSBut anyway let's discuss LUCKY PALACEIf you know a better place, please do TELL USAnd yeah I'm one of those arrogant FELLASIt could be worse though, I could be from DALLASWHATSo if it's so good that you wear it around your neck, it's "Lucky Necklace." And if they open a location in the French Capital, it's "Lucky Paris." And if I do an "American Pie" but replace the Pie with a this Korean food because it's just so tasty and sexy, then I'll end up with a soup-covered "Lucky Penis."Very delicious Korean restaurant with really friendly service and lots of sexy music videos playing while you're eating. This place feels homestyle and friendly and personable and not corporate. And it feels old, like it's been here forever, but in a good way of course.If you think Houston's Chinatown is a wonderland, then that makes this the Palace In Wonderland.We definitely love coming to Lucky Palace, and one of the great things about it is that there are only a couple of Korean restaurants that have this feel and this sort of taste and excellence located in Chinatown, so without having to go up to Spring Branch, this is one of the better ones you can get. We highly recommend it.If you keep repeating "I want Korean food" every time I say it, then it's Lucky Parrot. And if you get committed because you go crazy over this food, then it's Lucky Padded (cell).In terms of things that they could improve, I would say that they should make the spicy soup actually taste spicy, for me, that would help a lot.And if there is a fire here while you're here, it's Lucky Panic. And if you order a Soupuos instead of just Soup, then it's Lucky Palindrome. And if you bring Mel Gibson and Tina Turner here to help you navigate, then it's Mad Maps: Beyond Palindrome.Coldplay said it best."In my Palace, in my Palace,Were Korean soups that I couldn't taste,I was lost, oh, yeah.I was lost, I was lost,Crossed state lines I shouldn't have crossed,Well not without a handgun, oh, yeah.Yeah, how long must you wait for your food?Yeah, how much must you pay for your food?Yeah, how good is this Korean food tho rly amirite?"

The food was not good at all. I came because my coworker loves beef bulgogi so we decided to give this restaurant a try. She told me it taste funny when she tried mine. She ordered it too but the server forgot her order. The service was lacking so please take the reviews for service seriously. The place was quiet as we were the only two people in there for lunch which was a red flag. I would advise not to go here at this time.

I've been here a bunch of times even reviewed it as my top Korean restaurantI recently went yesterday and the quality of the food has really went down the waiter /servers that once worked there no longer do It's no longer the same experience

My absolute favorite Korean spot I now drive from cypress to visit. My girl Sandra is the sweetest!I never take a picture of my food lol so I am uploading an older picture but it's always a win all items I've tried . And I bring everyone here when they visit Texas lol win win for me yum

The is a great little family run Korean restaurant. I got the bulgogi. It came with rice, and a variety of different sides. I really liked the rice, and the bulgogi. At the end of the meal they gave me a a really good drink. I'm going to have to do more googling to figure out what each thing was. The meal was a little pricy but their portion size was pretty decent. They have an all you can eat that requires at least 2 people if I read the menu correctly. I'm going to have to find a friend and come back here soon.
