Lucky Chef Chen

This place is definitely a hidden gem in Oakland! Last week I was craving some Chinese so where did I go? Panda Express of course! lol. I haven't been there in ages and boy oh boy the food was so bland. Sorry Panda! What a disappointment. Fast forward to the weekend and I stumbled across Lucky Chef Chen and this place hit the spot!Shared a meal with a friend of mine and everything was surprisingly good. Chow mein, fried rice, sweet and sour pork, broccoli, wow! Staff was very friendly also. Glad this restaurant is a part of the local community serving us delicious food. Support this mom and pop!

Went back for another TGTG. The to-go tray is smaller this time but it's still a good deal. Food is still yummy. Should've mentioned in previous review that the location is kinda sketchy and street parking can be a challenge. Stay safe.

The food is delicious. So far, every surprise bag order has not disappointed. In fact, they've exceeded expectations in amount, flavor and value. A surprise bag is ordered through the TooGoodToGo app. My son moaned the entire time he ate on our first shared meal. That speaks volumes. He's a finicky guy. There's a wide variety to choose from on the steam table buffet. The staff are nice and service is fast. It's your typical fast food Chinese restaurant. There is booth style seating. However, upon my three encounters I've only seen people coming in for to go. Parking can be challenging. The restaurant is located on busy E. 14th aka "International Blvd" in the Fruitvale district.

I took the advice of fellow Yelp buddy Elvine and decided to give this unassuming spot a try.HELLLLLLA GOOOOOD!The food was fresh and aplenty! I paid $9 for hella food! I would definitely go back, the food was pretty good for a steam table set up. This place seemed really popular with the locals! Give this place a shot, it won't disappoint!

Very sweet family owned business in Oakland. I haven't been to Oakland in a while. It can be on the rougher side in certain areas.I'm always up for supporting smaller businesses and picked up my TGTG online order here. It was a good amount of food stuffed into a clam shell container.Parking is only street parking and Oakland plus SF is still experiencing alot of smash and grabs from cars. So be cautious. I didn't feel that comfortable in this neighborhood.If you are comfortable in Oakland and want to support a small business, check it out. But again the neighborhood is on the rougher side. It is a little hole in the wall fast food for chinese take out. Just a family owned business trying to make a living.

It does the job very well if you're in a hurry. It is Chinese fast food so keep that in mind. Customer service was nice. They explained the menu and even though they were closing we were not rushed at all. They did Had items that were out because of the time of day but it was still fair. They also sell boba milk teas which I opted for the boba and the jelly. Food is tasty and nice. Very good flavour. Some items are greasy and fried. Not the healthiest but can be comfort food for many. For what it is, they execute it well. Felt comfortable, safe, and happy with my food. Fruitvale station is near and AC Transit 1T and 54 are accessible with some city bike docks.

Food was delicious (orange chicken was bomb) cashier was really nice !!! Def coming back!!!
