The food was disgusting! Very bland. I ordered $80 worth of food and everything was bland! Very disappointing. I will not be returning back to this place . read more

Best hot sour soup and won ton soup! It's been hard to find such good soup with just the right combination, but this place got it right.

I have to say I was a little disappointed by Lucky Bamboo. The food was just mediocre and doesn't live up to the current average rating for me. The best thing about this spot: it is inexpensive, but that's about all they have going for them. I had the Mongolian Beef lunch combo and it was a whopping $4.75 before tax and came with the entree, fried rice, an egg roll and two fried wontons. Unfortunately, the beef was just ok, the fried rice was lacking and the wontons were fried too long and rock hard with desiccated little meat slivers for filling. One of my pictures shows a wonton broken open and the thin hard sliver in the middle is not a piece of wonton, that's the meat! The fried rice was just rice and egg, no onion or other veggies and was very plain and bland. They have five 4-person tables inside and I would imagine do most of their business as carry out or delivery, since there were only two people in the restaurant during prime Friday lunch. They take credit cards, but only if you spend $10 or more. I think they are trying to achieve an inexpensive place to cater to lunch patrons, but they are missing the mark on taste. Portion size is huge for what you pay, but I was hoping for a more flavor and attention to detail. read more

I usually go to this spot when I am visiting family in the area (I.e. Coty of Hawthorne) and we want some good Chinese. This place is simple and no glitz or glamour but the food is good. They make everything fresh to order so you don't get old recycled food from earlier in the day like some other places. Also the prices are very affordable you can feed a family of 5-6 for $50. I recommend their family combo it's a ton of food for a great price. The Kung Pao Chicken and Mongolian Beef are two of my favorite dishes. The great thing about the King Pao is that you can have them adjust it for your taste. I like it really spicy and they never fail to make it that way when I ask them to. There aren't a ton of great Chinese food restaurants in this area that can compare with the freshness or the quality of food here. That's what keeps me coming back. Also I usually order take out from this place. Overall I enjoy the food the owners and staff are always nice. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for Chinese doors or take out in this area! read more

The food is made fresh, I ordered the shrimp fried rice, beef Lo mein noddles and the orange chicken. The shrimp were big and plenty with a lot of green onions and no peas and carrots just how I like it. Everything was delicious read more

Excellent Chinese food. Portions are large and ingredients are very fresh and high quality. We have been looking for good Chinese food in the South Bay for a long time and are so happy to have found this great take out place! read more

Lucky Bamboo never ceased to impress. Don't judge a book by its cover. They provide rapid and friendly service, the food is always great and price have remained extremely competitive for the longest time. I would absolutely recommend. read more

Love this place. The owners know us by face. Been coming here for years. The food is fresh made to order. You can't find places like this in the area. Dying bread of restaurants. All the food here is good. My favorite is the veggie egg rolls. It's not a fancy place but worth it. Bring cash as credit card order are $15 minimum purchase. read more

Fried rice was somewhat wet, but pretty good. The orange chicken looked very presentable and the taste was decent, but the overall texture of the chicken was somewhat off. The seasoning was perfect but the chicken itself was not properly prepared. Nonetheless, the atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty chill, and the owner of the restaurant was super nice. The pricing of the food was pretty reasonable as well. My only pet peeve is when the owner touched my money and then touched my egg roll to place it in the deep fryer (nope, she neither washed her hands nor put gloves on). read more

Delicious food, friendly service, reasonably priced. What's not to like. This has become our go-to Chinese restaurant for the last 2-years and we're very happy to continue supporting them. Never waited more than 10-minutes and phone orders can get in and out in no time. Highly recommend the orange chicken and chicken chow mein but there are plenty of other dishes worth trying. read more

I got the house fried rice and orange chicken. The fried rice was okay, but the orange chicken was a disappointment. Lots of skin or coating, I'm not sure what it was, with the tiniest morsel of chicken. I wanted to try something different because my usual was too busy and had me on hold for over 5 minutes. I won't be back. read more

Just like the hole in the wall Chinese restaurants back home in San Francisco. Delicious!

The staff are very nice. They give Generous portions and the food is delicious. Best Chinese food around It is a small restaurant next to the barber shop. Highly recommend read more

Hands down the best, freshest, chinese food in town! They deliver and serve family style servings, been going here and ordering delivery for at least 8 years now, they are super friendly and welcoming. read more

All my go-to Chinese places closed during Covid and I'm delighted to find this place. I encourage people to visit because both times I've been here it wasn't busy at all and I'm worried about it. It's old school-- dated but tidy decor, pictures of meal items on the walls, and and old guy hand writing out your receipt. It's got average prices, unexpectedly large portions, and solid quality. I've gone with just basics so far, beef and broccoli, and a specialty called Happy Family and both were delicious. Definitely will be returning and trying more. read more

Great authentic Chinese food. I was very impressed with the quality of ingredients and overall taste of food. I had the chicken with black bean sauce. Note: this place is takeout/delivery only. No dine in option. read more

I don't normally write reviews but I had to write one for this restaurant. The food is fresh and prepared to order. They pack the food very carefully. The food portion is ideal and very tasty. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem . read more

We finally tried Lucky Bamboo Kitchen out after many of my local friends recommended them. The food's good and the service is super friendly. It's a tiny hole in the wall, take-out place with a big menu. The meat and carbs are fine but most importantly the fresh vegetables are cooked to perfection. The flavors are generally mild for the general public so my kids were able to try everything and they approve. I prefer stronger flavor so I could always modify for myself. You can tell they are well-loved by the community by watching them interact with them as you wait for your food. We'll be going back often to try the other dishes. read more

One of the rare finds in the South Bay. Food here is always top notch and fresh. Been coming here for years and can never complain about the food or portions. A must try read more

Sliced bbq pork with spicy sauce on the side , orange chicken and cheese wontons are our go to order. Always hot and fresh and flavorful. Good portions too. We call in the order and it's ready by the time we get there. Not a paid promo, we just really love this place. read more

Tried this place for first time because of the reviews. First we called to see if they offered combo options like other Chinese food places and the lady who I'm guessing might be the owner, said no we don't go to Panda Express and hung up. We still decided to try it because it looked yummy. We get there and customer service is still the worse I've ever gotten. This what we ordered anyway: -Mongolian beef: per reviews it's so good etc, but it was mediocre. I've had better. - chowmein: good. - orange chicken: does it even have any chicken? Seems like it's all breading. - fried dumplings: these were the best thing we ordered and would recommend. Overall, yes the food is hot and made to order, but lacks lots of taste. It was disappointing considering we spent about $40 for it. read more

BEST EGG FO YOUNG I EVER HAD! I would like to come back again and order from them. Great gamily business too. They're very friendly and nice! read more

Hidden gem for sure! I was bringing my boyfriend dinner at his work and just randomly picked this place out of the handful of Chinese food restaurants near him. I called in my order, knowing it would take me 25 mins to get there and the food would probably be cold. To my pleasant surprise the food was still steaming hot, even with the additional 10 minutes I had to go to get to my boyfriend's work site. They were super nice when I arrive, even though I came in 10 minutes after their closing time (according to the "new hours" sign posted on the window). They didn't even mention it and just kept thanking me for coming in. The food did not disappoint at all! BBQ Pork Fried Rice: tasted freshly made and was still steaming hot even after we were done eating. My boyfriend couldn't stop eating it and I even had a second helping when I got home. Crispy Honey Shrimp: one of my favorites and was spot on. It was lightly breaded with just the right amount of sauce so you still felt like you were eating shrimp. A lot of places over bread and over sauce that you can't even find the shrimp. The shrimp was plump and delicious! Chicken Egg Rolls: I don't love egg rolls, but these were tasty. My boyfriend on the other hand loves egg rolls and was in heaven. He couldn't stop saying how good everything was! If we lived in the area this would be our go-to spot for sure. It will definitely be our go-to spot for when I bring him dinner to his work site! read more

Bomb asf. I been coming almost 3 days out the week. They just did a price increase over the holiday but it's still affordable

Food is pretty good, if you are going for yourself I would recommend to go before 3pm for the lunch combo. Otherwise, it's just the large orders of one item and it's really family style, the menu is more so restaurant style and not your typical combo plate style or like panda. But the food tastes fresh and they have good portion sizes the only thing I don't like is that they charge for using credit card and for fortune cookies. read more

Hidden gem in Hawthorne, I love their shrimp in lobster sauce and walnut shrimp. They have excellent customer service and prices are great for the amount of food you get. If you want gyoza make sure to order it steamed it comes with a really good spicy sauce. Highly recommend! read more

This is our go to chinese food take out . Always cooked fresh as you order. Owners are very nice and accommodating.

So completely shocked they don't have real steamed rice!!! It's straight taste like min rice very disappointing the kung pao chicken was surprisingly good. The portions are insanely big don't think I'll be back unfortunately read more

Food was really good and the staff at the restaurant were very kind! Definitely recommend it for Chinese!

Arrived at 2:15... asked if we seat ourselves and was told yes.. sat and waited.. and waited.. and waited some more.. it's 2:20.. 2:25.. 2:30.. 2:35.. no menu.. no water. i finally waved at one of the young guys and was like "So do we have to order before we sit down or what's up". No response but walked over with a pen and paper and asked me what I wanted to order *blank stare*... "How do I know what I want if I don't have a menu? I've never been here before"... him: "sorry".. walks to get paper menu and hands it to me and just stands there.. waiting. That was uncomfortable so i just ordered something from the lunch menu.. it's supposed to come with fried or steamed rice and a couple other goodies but he didn't ask me what kind of rice i wanted... i had to say it after he asked me if i wanted anything else.... mind you it's been 10 min since I ordered and i asked for a water but still no water. If the food is good i might give it 2 stars but at this point i don't even want to eat here anymore. To add, it's Christmas Day and no it wasn't busy. There were only 3 tables that had just a couple people sitting at each when i arrived. There's more people working than people actually sitting and eating. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement because I'd heard so many great things. Update: finally got my water 20 min after i ordered and got my food at 3:11... comparing the order to other people photos i can tell this is not a lunch combo. I just told them i ordered off of the lunch special and was told "we don't have that today".. no where on the menu does it say Mon-Friday for lunch combos and excluding holidays. In fact, when he stood there and watched me staring at the back of the menus on the side where the lunch combos were then why didn't he mention it? I'm here by myself and I'm not a big person so why would i order an amount multiple people can share? Makes no sense. At this point i wouldn't even give 1 star but i have no control over that if i want to leave a review. read more

Lucky Bamboo Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Lawndale, California

This spot is truly a hidden gem. I used to order fried rice from here back in high school. The other night I had a taste for some really good fried rice and wondered if Lucky Bamboo was still here. To my pleasant surprise it's still here and the fried rice is still as delicious as ever. I ordered the shrimp and chicken fried rice, orange chicken, and beef & broccoli. Everything was freshly prepared and hot when I picked it up. Hubby is from St. Louis and supposedly they have some of the best Chinese food restaurants. He was even impressed with how tasty all of our dishes were. Now that I know it's still here, we will add this to our take-out rotation! read more

I have lived in the Southbay area for seven years now And have searched high and low for good Chinese food. I always thought that the Chinese food out here was the worst, I could never find a spot that I loved. Well I finally found it and am so excited. I've ordered from here three times now and the food is consistently delicious and fresh. It doesn't taste like it's been sitting around all day and the wait time is never too long. Sesame chicken with cream cheese wontons is my go-to but the fried rice is also good. Definitely recommend! read more

I don't usually write reviews but this one definitely deserves one! HANDS DOWN - BEST in town! Went to others when they were closed on a Sunday and did not compare. My favorite Hot and Sour Soup!!! read more

The food is made hot and fresh. The only thing I would have to dislike is the interior of the restaurant it's a bit bland but that's about it. Service is quick and pleasant. The Orange chicken is so scrumptious. Theres a lot of good items on the menu. The dumpling was crispy and the beef and vegetables had a very creamy and mild sauce which was very delicious. The lady was really nice and her husband too. Been here twice and will be back for more because the food is really great! I wouldn't underestimate this place by the looks of it. The food definitely makes up for it. Meat is cooked to perfection. This place over panda any day! Zhù n ho yùn! read more

I love this place, I drive over from Redondo Beach because their food is fresh and made to order. No hot steam tables. We love the cream cheese wontons. We normally order the bbq pork, beef chow mein, sweet and sour chicken and chicken fried rice. All fresh to order and the pricing is not bad at all. I wish I had photos to post but we always dig in to quick. I always leave a nice big tip. I don't think many people tip or tip big because the lady always tries to give me some money back. I hope they never go out of business. read more

This place rocks. Thanks Yelpers. It is a hole in the wall in a strip mall. I had the bed hot and sour soup that I've had in a long while. I also had a combination Chow Fun, beef, chicken and shrimp for 8.75. It's enough for 2 people. Very generous portions and the food was very flavorful. You can order and sit. 5 tables that can each sit 4 people. Looks like take out is a preferred option. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Let me give you all a backstory.. When I was little, there used to be this little Chinese to-go spot by my house that made me fall in love with orange chicken.. It had this light crispiness and just the right amount of sweet and tangy to it. The spot didn't last too long and was closed down. Ever since, I longed for it and never found a place that served orange chicken just as good. Welp, I think I just found the place!!! One bite into the orange chicken and it was like I was in elementary school again scarfing down food.. Except I'm not in my knee-length uniform skirt and my metabolism isn't as high as it used to be. But that's not gonna stop me... Been waiting for far too long!!!! Haha, but on some serious note, they give a generous amount of food. We always have leftovers for a few days. The Mongolian beef is also delish!!! Has a little spice to it and the onions.. OH MAN. If you do not like onions, this dish will make you fall in love. We've also had the walnut shrimp, but nothing special about it. If you guys want a little snack/appetizer/dessert, opt for the cream cheese wontons! They lost two stars, however, because I feel like their delivery service is only when it's convenient for them. A few times they couldn't deliver and I had to pick up the food myself for reasons unknown.. Other days delivery is no problem. We only live 5 minutes down the street. read more

Well, the environment is a little bland... and eerie quiet. It feels like I'm attending night classes or something, which makes it a little uncomfortable. The tables are really, really cramped together with exception of the handicap table. However, the staff is extremely nice, informative and patient. The cook even came out to say hello after we got our meal, which was really pleasant. If you use a card, you must spend a minimum of $15, which they have a sign clearly posted. It's a poor sign, hand-written on the desk, but it's VERY visible. They also have photos of their entrees plastered on the wall AND on the front counter so you know exactly what you're getting. Which brings me to the food: it's clearly made fresh. Their orange chicken is actually crunchy and mildly tangy(taste like real orange chicken as opposed to oh say, Panda Express). We also ordered the beef in garlic sauce, but I was disappointed with it. It was delicious and cooked fresh and perfect, don't get me wrong... but easily 80% of the entree was veggies. They should just name it veggie and garlic sauce with a side order of beef. Each entree comes with steamed rice, but you can swap it for chow mein or fried rice for an extra dollar. I understand the chow mein, but I wish they didn't charge a dollar for fried rice. I have no real issues here, the place is a bit dull as I said, but the staff is friendly and the food is FRESH and delicious. The prices are fair as well, but the place could use a little bit of spring cleaning. The napkin dispensers on the tables, for example, are extremely dusty and gross, but the tables themselves were clean. I also wish they cleaned the tip of their sriracha bottles because it's actually starts looking pretty black-ish, which is a bit of a turn off. -Orange chicken is not spicy despite it saying so (slightly lacking in flavor, but texture on point) -beef was perfectly made. zero complaints except for the amount. I would come again. Support a family owned business, because despite it's flaws, these are good kind-hearted people who clearly give their food the attention it needs. Thanks for the good experience! read more

So happy to have found a great chines food place in the Hawthorne area. In my opinion the best part of the food here is that there is a ~10 min wait for your food. I remember the first time I showed up I was expecting to choose my food based on what was under te heat lamp but not at this spot. All food is cooked to order! The orange chicken is not all soft and mushy. The broccoli in the broccoli read more
