TikTok made me do it and boy am I glad I did!! I came from LA to try those delicious egg rolls and they didn't disappoint! 10/10 I also ordered chicken fried rice with bean sprouts and extra onions. That was also 10/10. Lucky Boston is cooking up some quality Chinese food! I'll be back whenever I visit Boston again. read more

This little spot in the heart of Egleston Square ABSOLUTELY will not catch your eye at first glance, but don't let its less than pretty "look" fool you. The service is always quick and efficient, making it easy to grab a bite without a very long wait. But let's be honest the food is what really matters most, right? I gladly make the trip just for what I call the "mother of all egg rolls" lol. It's massive, way bigger than your standard egg roll so you have to bite around it like you would a sub. It's always fresh, crispy, and packed with flavor. I order it every time without fail. Today, I decided to try the chicken fingers, but they were just okay nothing special at all. So I stuck to my egg roll, ate in my car since you can't eat inside. Restaurant appearance: 4/10 Egg roll: 8.5/10 If you're in the area, give it a try! read more

THERE IS SHRIMP IN THE SPRING ROLL. I put a shellfish allergy note on this order. There was no where stating that there was shrimp in the spring roll. This is so concerning as my friend had a severe shellfish allergy. This is so so so concerning. I would give zero stars if I could. And to top it off, there was poop in the shrimp. read more

Lucky Boston Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Roxbury, Massachusetts

I love the food at Lucky Boston Chinese. It's one of those places you can judge by the fact that they're not on a single delivery app -- if you want it, you're making the trip. And honestly, they can get away with it. People go anyway. Inside, there's barely any seating, just a cafeteria-style table and a couple of chairs. Most folks grab their orders through the small windows cut into the plexiglass divider separating you from the kitchen. It's very "no-frills," but the food is always fresh, consistent, and genuinely delicious. It's the kind of spot you keep going back to because they get it right every time. read more

The lady at the counter provided the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced! I ordered two of the same plates, she failed to comprehend what I ordered and gave me everything but the orange chicken! Then I called in to order my replacement, she asked me " pork fried rice?" I said "no, beef." She quotes me "$19.50" Went to pick my order up and she still gave me pork, then went back and forth me and says "if you want beef that will be $22.50!" Attitude and all, so now I'm standing here in their face writing this review and they don't even know it! " Talking bout ma'am your food is done!" keep your garbage! 22-nothing after just spending $30 and Yall messed up! Ahahaha nope! read more

Solid- didn't mind the atmosphere and esthetic. With plenty of parking- I suggest placing two orders of crab ragoons - some for the car ride home. Ya know read more

Crab Rangoon is pure cream cheese and onion Orange chicken was super bland. Pork fried rice wasn't bad. Salt and pepper shrimp just soggy and bland service was quick and efficient tho read more

I used to swear by this place for Years before I moved to atlanta, and then I moved and came back and went to one on river st for years Last week I finally gave them a try again and they are still the same. Everything still looks and tastes the same surprisingly a decade later. The rice is DARK brown & they put bean sprouts & large chunks of onion in it. (I forgot to opt out of them, so spent most of my time picking them out) I ordered the large Pupu platter and it did not come with crab Rangoons which is different but I ordered it anyway. The beef teriyaki was flavorful but a little dry. The chicken wings weren't huge and were crispy. The fried shrimp was mainly batter. Boneless ribs were really good and cooked thoroughly. The chicken fingers (which I wanted most) had a weird after taste to them. This pissed me off because I even ordered a sweet & sour chicken & they were the same chicken fingers just with the pink sauce too. The crab Rangoons (ordered a side of them) were good but mainly cream cheese not much imitation crab meat. I ordered an order of scallion pancakes before I ordered anything else, because that's all my kid eats, and of course they're not in the bag. I will say, compared to most restaurants, the woman who answered the phone was extremely nice. read more

3.5 not bad I like the deep soy sauce darkness of the pork fried rice but the pork and ham which i added were tough and dried out albeit plentiful the bean sprouts added flavor. The eggroll was kind of roundish and huge parts of the filling seemed to be carbonized how or why no clue and not my favorite the other two things I ordered were good enough which were lobster sauce and wonton soup called pork strip soup hear. It's definitely ghetto Chinese se takeout but it does the job. Btw the flavor on the fried rice was good just the toughness of the meats threw me off. Pretty good value too. Bye. read more

Service was unexpectedly good. Food was bland, flavorless. I took a gamble on this place and lost unfortunately. I ordered my usual vegetable egg foo young and there was only onions in it-no peppers, carrots, or broccoli, just an abundance of white onions. The gravy was ok. I was charged for white rice that usually comes with it. So... not the greatest. I'm still in need of s good hood Chinese spot in this area though.. read more

This is an alright spot for Chinese food take out it can get a little tricky ordering by phone and you should check your order before you get home however it's a good amount for the money read more

This was the best Chinese food I've had in Boston in the 11 years I've lived here! I highly recommend this place above all other Chinese take-out spots. Great quality food! Apparently this place is a locals hotspot, open super late. The sesame chicken was divine and the wonton soup hit the spot. Thank you, Lucky Boston! A+ read more

Might be the best Chinese takeout in Boston hands down don't let the people that might be outside deter you from coming here anything you want to eat will be delicious here amazing food amazing people working I've been a customer for 20 years and I have never had any problems with the food at all read more

Best Hood Chinese spot in Boston been eating here for many many years. Food so good my family from New York tells me to take to them when I go. Me and the family usually get the lg house special fried rice, chicken wings,Crab Rangoons,Lo MeinBoneless Spare Ribs,and Egg Roll always good quality made to order and good prices and portions always have left over! I eat here like 1-3 a week never had issue with food had issue once with the credit card machine that's probably only complaint read more

This use to be my favorite Chinese spot, but not anymore. The boneless spareribs were over cooked and dry. The rice tasted as if it were old. Very disappointed! read more

This place is terrible. The pack so much rice and I literally got just 4 pieces of shrimp with my combo. read more

Lucky Boston Chinese Restaurant - Be careful ordering number 17...Only 4 pieces of shrimp with this grease soaked meal - Chinese Near Me - Roxbury, Massachusetts

Not a fan of this place. I ordered vegetable fried rice and it was unflavorful and bland. I also ordered fried chicken and the chicken wasn't tasty either. New to the area and the Chinese food here was a disappointment. read more

Got a sweet and sour chicken lunch special with boneless spareribs. The chicken fingers were delicious, soft, light and fluffy inside a lightly crisp shell. The spare ribs were just the way I like them, not too fatty. The rice was underwhelming but I'd still come back here for the spare ribs alone. read more

No duck sauce?! Wow Parking is a pain so coming back, eh unlikely. Food was good but who doesn't provide duck sauce?! read more

I ordered a plate that included chicken fingers. I ordered them the way I always order Chicken Fingers at every Chinese restaurant, light batter and well done. I got home and opened the package and the fingers were bloated and FULL of batter and not well done. I called to let them know and the man who took my order said he told them. I told him I got the opposite of what I asked for. He told me they couldn't do it? Really it's not hard to do. Everybody else does it no problem. I told him it's not hard to do, he said don't order it next time. I told him I won't, what he doesn't know is I won't order anything else from there. Food was already bland and I get food not only not well done but not cooked enough semi cooked. Threw the fingers away. read more

Lucky does it for me everytime, they're a staple Chinese food restaurant. The food quality stays the same. You can always count on good food, large quantity and quick service. Love their brown duck sauce! read more

Best Chinese in Boston! I can eat their lobster sauce, pork fried rice, and chicken fingers all the time!!

Now, that I have lost my beloved East Ocean in JP to Oriental House, Lucky is now my number 1 pick. I just wish you guys would deliver. Lucky's food is AMAZING! My top picks include the lobster sauce and crab rangoon. Other favorites include pork fried rice with veggies, chicken teriyaki (battered, fried and BIG!), Egg Roll (not a fan of egg roll anywhere else, but here) and their shrimp with veggies. And they have this amazing sweet duck sauce that I put on everything! The neighborhood appears to be a bit sketchy at times, but haven't had a problem when I go. But, seriously, guys, please consider delivery! read more

I love this place. The prices are awesome and they have a huge selection.The portion sizes are enormous and 1 combo plate can feed 3-4 people. The lobster sauce is one of the best I have ever had. I have recommended Lucky's to a lot of people and at first they are skeptical because of the area but after they try it they are hooked. My boyfriend is not a big fan of any Chinese food because it is a little to greasy for his taste. But I made him try Lucky's and he loves it. He now recommends it when we are trying to figure out what to eat during take-out nights. read more

Great fried rice and the beef&broccoli is really good, but the chicken wings are very salty. They don't deliver, but you can order through doordash. read more

Ordered sesame chicken and some egg rolls. The egg rolls were pretty lame--really huge, the outer layer was thick, rather than thin and crispy. The filling was not that flavorful and the sauce that they gave was really not great. Generally not the worst thing I've ever eaten but wouldn't order again. The sesame chicken was pretty decent, though. Completely standard and reliable. read more

Portions are huge and prices are super cheap, the General Tsos and pork fried rice combo is 9$ and enough to feed two people Also the General Tsos at least is probably the best I've had in Boston so far (crispy and not soggy at all unlike other places) so that's pretty cool too read more

Amazing food at a very good price. Portion sizes are gigantic. Our favorites are the crab rangoons, spring rolls, pork rice with lobster sauce, pork spare ribs and Mongolian beef. The food selection is huge but once we tried a few of the above we didn't want to order anything else! read more

Grew up eating from here, best Chineese food in Boston for me because all of the appetizers are on point read more

Everything I have ever gotten from here tasted really good. I am a sucker for good lobster sauce and egg fu yung. They are good at both! I am not an egg roll fan but I always eat them here. Their shrimp egg rolls are the food of the gods. read more

This is my new favorite chinese spot!!! I always get the boneless spare ribs and pork friend rice! Yummy makes me want to order some right now just thinking about it haha but seriously, this place is quick and gets your order just how you want it. The food is delicious! The area is definitely a little sketch but you'll be fine! Try this place you won't be disappointed! read more

I ordered a small crab Rangoon and the box was overflowing. The best bang for your buck and good quality. You will probably have leftovers. Also, the service was fast and the people were friendly. Some say it is a ghetto location, but those people might just be racist. I am a young white chick and I felt fine by myself at 9:30 PM. I even had a nice chat with a fellow customer. Just be smart and don't linger at night. I will definitely be back. read more

Worst food I have ever eaten. In fact, I could not even eat it. I had to throw it away after two bites.

I love this place! Best crab rangoons I've had, and would definitely drive out there to get it. I also like the egg rolls because it's soooo huge and worth the price! Another favorite of mine there is the Mongolian beef, it is sooo tasty full of flavors, and would go with white rice since it's flavorful. For their other items, the prices compared to local chinese places are very cheap, and judging from their portion size of my orders, others will probably be big and generous too! read more

I'm from New Jersey and i'm convinced Boston has to best (American) Chinese Food around because of this place. The prices are cheap, the portions are huge, and the food is packed with flavor. I've never seen an eggroll the size of a qdoba burrito before! I recommened the boneless spare ribs & sesame chicken. Make sure to try the duck sauce too. They make their own duck sauce which is a great alternative to the normal orange slime in plastic packets that most other places give you. The area is kinda seedy and i wouldnt eat in there, so i recommend ordering take out. read more

Great food. Parking can be difficult; best to go with a friend. Liquor store right next door.

Pretty good chinese food here...passed thru and was skeptikal due to all the other choices around but tried it out anyways ..they have good egg foo yung and fried rice they have a huge menu for days..alot of weirdos around in there but that didnt stop me from gettn my grub on lol..i will return ..... read more
