We decided to try this place out from seeing posts about them. I ordered the sweet sour spareribs, hubby got the roast pork with gravy and got my MIL a Special Bento all for $32. The prices are so reasonable and they give plenty. Food was piping hot I knew I ordered something good when 3 other customers ordered the SS spareribs. Roast pork was hit and miss. Miss cause some pieces were dry and tough. MIL was happy with her bento. We opt to dine in and could tell lots of customers are regulars there. Staff was friendly. We would go there again if we're in town read more

Ordered a few times here. Got the curry chicken katsu bowl, twice. Also, ordered the garlic chicken plate and a mochiko chicken plate. All the plates and bowls were very good. Service is fast and efficient. Prices are good & reasonable. The ambiance of the place is like an L&L atmosphere mixed in with a local plate lunch spot. Recommend this place. read more

Today's order: combo plate (hamburger steak/pork cutlet) and a mini kalbi. Salad separate, gravy seperate. The Homemade hamburger is delicious. Not salty, not fatty, not dry. A The pork cutlet is very hard and dry. Probably my fault. It is meant to be smothered in gravy which helps to soften the coating off. It's a little thicker than expected, good portion size. Cutlet not seasoned enough. B+ (for my error) The kalbi is very nice. It could have been charred a little bit more, but the marinade is tasty. Meat is tender. A I like my rice softer than what I got, so next time I should order fries. I like trying new menu items, as the good ones keep me coming back. Definitely get a plate w a burger or a burger on a bun. Not dissapointed. read more

Stopped by Lucky Box for some breakfast since they open early at 7am on weekends which is super convenient. I went with the salt and pepper fish plate while my girlfriend got the garlic chicken. The fish came out smoking hot, and the flavor was solid though it leaned a bit too salty as I got further into the plate. The garlic chicken was decent, but unfortunately it was overcooked and ended up pretty dry and tough in texture. Overall, it's not a bad spot to grab a meal especially if you're looking for something early in the morning, but the food could use a little more consistency. read more

Came here hungry, left full... and mildly annoyed. The portions are fat -- like "I need a nap after this" fat. Taste-wise? Not bad, not great -- kind of like store-brand chips: edible, but you're not bragging about it. Service was meh. I asked for an extra container because mines was leaking, and they charged me $0.25 -- which I guess is the going rate for customer disappointment these days. read more

Finally got to Lucky Box. Got my husband a mixed plate. So much food. I really liked the beef stew and the Mac salad. I find theTeri beef was kind of tough and dry. As you can see in the photo, the plate was overloaded with stew. It was good. Ice chunks of meat Lots of parking. read more

Lucky Box Restaurant - Mixed plate with beef stew. I loved the stew - Chinese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Lucky Box hits you with an overwhelming amount of protein and carbs in every box, maybe that's how you're "lucky"?! Veggies? Not what they do here. I vaguely remember this spot being Waikamilo Drive Inn back in the day, and even a Korean restaurant before that, but I'm glad someone has finally taken over because the local food here is solid. Portion sizes are no joke, you'll definitely have leftovers if you order a couple of boxes. Not everything's a home run (looking at you, kalbi and chili spaghetti), but there are some real winners: the garlic shrimp, hamburger steak, Teri Burger, chicken katsu, teri beef, BBQ chicken, garlic ahi, and basically all the breakfast boxes. My husband and I also think the mac salad in each order is quite tasty. Service is impressively fast, have no idea how they pull it off, but I've never waited more than 10 minutes. Calling ahead helps, but even if you walk in, the auntie running the show is on it. Super efficient, no nonsense, just trying to get people fed. For around or under $15 a plate, it's a steal. I always take my food to go, but they did renovate after Waikamilo, so it's got nice, clean vibes inside now. Parking is easy in the mall lot, which is another win. Definitely a solid spot for a fast and filling local meal! read more

Finally returned since I was in the area. I really wanted to try their Beef Broccoli with cake noodles the first time I came here but they were out of the cake noodles so I ordered this for myself and the Lemon Chicken for my husband. The portion they gave for both were very generous. My husband thought the chicken didn't have too much taste the first day but when he ate the leftovers the next day, he enjoyed it more. He feels it was because they gave a lot of chicken and only a small container of the sauce, knew he wouldn't have enough for the leftovers so he stretched it. If we order this again, we need to ask for an extra sauce or hope they read Yelp reviews to find out our needs. As for the Beef Broccoli with cake noodles, it was tasty but the noodles were overcooked so it was hard to eat. I remember the first time I came here, they ran out of cake noodles and was going to have more delivered so they informed me if I can come back in an hour or 2 so I'm assuming they're refrying it. I like my cake noodles crispy but this was hard crispy...don't think I'll be ordering this again. FYI: I didn't know about their "Specials" menu because it wasn't posted in the restaurant by the menu...it's posted on the window. read more

Feeling lucky... As the portion size here are quite impressive. I've been here a few times though it must be the food coma that has me forgetting to leave my review here and after taking my bestie to the bank near by it was after work so we were both hungry and as we were first talking boba it somehow turned to food as well and thought that this place would be perfect as they do literally have it all. Located in Waiakamilo Shopping Center which does offer lots of free parking we did so and made our way to see it completely empty so there was no pressure to ordering as we both had the intention of a burger and went into completely different direction with the huge selection as she got the Shrimp Garlic Spaghetti and I got the Mochiko Chicken. Lots of tables and booth seating to choose from and with condiments on each table this informal place sure does know how to take care of you while you enjoy your bite without worry as we chatted and was amazed with how they prepare the entire menu in this tiny kitchen. The lady at the register is just the friendlies as we first sat against the wall below the air conditioning and informed us that it drips and for us to move to another seating which we did so and thoroughly enjoyed our meal as she finished hers but struggled to finish my mini plate as it didn't even seem like I touched it at all lol! A great place everyone as you're lucky to have the yummy endless choices. Thank you! read more

What a lifesaver!!! I tried to get takeout from Side Street, but they were so overwhelmed that they stopped taking orders two days before Christmas. So here I was, not knowing where to go, and I'm supposed to bring food to my parents. Driving down Dillingham, I saw Lucky Box and they were open! The same young woman was working, from my first visit, and she was very friendly. I ordered the grilled pork chops, garlic ahi, barbecue chicken, and fried noodles. I think this would cover the three of us. Portions were great! Everything was delicious! My parents enjoyed the choices! And there were leftovers for me for the rest of the week! Great place to come to! Mahalo Lucky Box! read more

I've been here many times and brought several friends with me each time. They've all loved it here and also became regulars. The service is nice and quick and the restaurant is clean. Food quality is good and the portions are huge. I always feel like I'm getting my money's worth here. My favorite is the mixed plate with the hamburger steak, teri beef and the beef stew. Everything in this particular mixed plate is so very tasty, so that, I haven't been able to try anything else. However, my friends who I brought here have told me that whatever they've ordered have been delicious also. Give this gem of a place a try. The menu is vast. Great spot for a comfort meal. read more

Thanks Donna O. for recommending Lucky Box Restaurant! A real local style restaurant located in the Waiakamilo Shopping Center at 1414 Dillingham Boulevard. Free parking in the lot. Parking is shared by a number of establishments. Great plate lunches here. I tried the Lucky Combo, House Teriyaki Mixed BBQ plate. Donna O. ordered the Wagyu Burger with deluxe mayo and ketchup and fries. Everything was made to order. Hot and tasty. The House Teriyaki mixed plate is packed full of Teriyaki short rib (Kalbi), Teriyaki Beef and BBQ chicken! Took home over half the plate. Wagyu burger is thick and a good sized patty. Lettuce, tomato and onion comes with the burger. Fries were plentiful and crispy! The tables were relatively clean. Pretty crowded here. Noise level is on the upper level due to location and number of patrons inside the restaurant. A great place for take out or eat in. read more

First timer here, and I got mini a sweet n sour spareribs plate. It came with one scoop of rice and one scoop of mac. The spareribs was just as cold as the mac salad. I ended up dining in. The dining area was somewhat clean. The lady upfront though she was loud and yelled the entire time. Even when customers were infront of the counter placing their order. She yelled as if they were across the room. A customer requested an extra pc of tomatoe in his burger. She stared at him and gave him that look then all of a sudden started laughing. She then proceeded to yell into the kitchen and laughed out loud. She spoke in her language while laughing for about 5 minutes. RUDE! Won't be returning. The food and atmosphere was a hard NO for me. read more

Late review...Small establishment, A/C, clean and friendly, courteous service. There are 3 booths, 7 tables and counter seating. It's busy during lunchtime. Recommend ordering ahead if you don't have the time to wait. We order Roast pork with gravy, sweet sour spareribs and crinkle fries. The sweet sour spareribs was delicious, just the right mixture of sweet and sour. Next time will ask for sauce for the rice . Not many place have crinkle fries and I order it extra crispy. Came out good and delicious. Everything was a lot and we had leftovers even the fries. read more

Late post - busy with work! We went to Lucky Box on a Wednesday around 6:40. It was empty except for 1 other patron at the time. We ordered our plates and casually talked for a small bit. Shortly later, all of our food and drinks were ready. As we were eating, the restaurant shortly became full and every table taken. We must have come at the right time to enjoy our meal. This place has the price, size, and quality combination that is great. We had the following: Chili Cheese Fries - 8/10. Great when freshly brought to your table. The chili is not spicy and the fries are good even without the chili. Recommend. Special Lucky Mixed - 8/10. Overall, I liked this particular combo. The fried fish and bbq chicken were quite good and the spam tasted like real spam and not a cheaper knockoff brand. The Teri Beef was a little hard but it had a nice flavor as well. Also, I appreciate the bed of rice. Chicken Katsu - 9/10. My friend who ordered this did not expect a whole 3 piece katsu plate. The portion is amazing and it was prepared nice and juicy inside still. They finished half and took the rest home for next day lunch. Special Mixed Plate - 8/10. The friend who ordered this bad boy also was blindsided by the portion size. They thoroughly enjoyed the beef stew and the hamburger steak. But, like myself, they felt that the Teri Beef was a bit lacking or hard consistency. This is still a deal for your buck even with the Teri Beef! Lychee Smoothie - 7/10. It was a good drink to go with the meal. I was happy to not get boba since my Lucky Mixed was full. This is one of those places where the food is good, the prices are good, and the portions are great. They have a bit of everything in terms of food so give them a try! read more

Newer restaurant in the metro-Kalihi area (if that is a thing).  Located along the currently destroyed Dillingham Blvd (thanks to rail project) in the same shopping center as Firestone/McDonalds.  This place is tucked in to a variety of bars, commonly known for "loose" men and women, but don't worry, this restaurant is completely wholesome and legitimate.  I have enjoyed the food from here and often will call in my order and pick up takeout when I don't feel up to cooking.  My two favorite items are the kalua pork w/cabbage and the fresh grilled salmon.  The k-pig w/cab is probably one of my favorite k-pigs around. It has just the right amount of cabbage, which is cooked perfectly, and the swine is cooked and browned a bit.  It also has the correct amount of liquid (sauce, moisture, not sure what to call it) to transform regular white rice to a flavorful and saucy starch masterpiece.  The garlic salmon is pretty simple, served with lemon and I usually get this one with toss instead of mac salad.  The menu has catering options and I would totally try this place if I need to pick up a party pack for a pot luck or picnic event.  As with most businesses along Dillingham Blvd, it is best to get here by going on King to Waiakamilo.  Driving on Dillingham has turned into such a painful task, but that is temporary, and the rail, once complete will be permanent. read more

Wow stopped by here after a tennis practice and we were ready to feast! Couldn't just pick one thing so we got the chili cheese fries, mini mochiko chicken plate, and a shrimp curry bowl. The fries were amazing, would def get again. Mochiko chicken with rice and mac, perfection. Shrimp curry was just ok. My friends got super reasonable breakfast plates and loco moco. Need to come back to try more items they even have spaghetti and other Chinese dishes. So much variety!

Lucky box is a great place for take out or for a casual dine in. It's clean and spacious. They have a lot local favorites and Chinese food plates as well. I've been there many of times and I usually like my favorite Lucky special mixed plate. It reminds me of Zip pac but even better. In fact the chicken and fish in zip pac are smaller than what you get at Lucky Box. The portion at Lucky box was generous and the fish and bbq chicken were big pieces and with great flavor! I could taste the ginger in the chicken marinade. The fish piece was a nice size than the hoke type and spam was thicker! Bbq meat was also tasty. Now that's my favorite. My next go to dish is the $10.99 daily specials. You do not get a stamp on their reward stamp card for the daily $10.99 specials. By the way their reward stamp card is for regular prices plate lunches and when it's paid in cash! What a Deal for $10.99! The special may change daily or every few days. All seems to be good like the Garlic ahi, chicken katsu, bbq chicken, & chicken wings! Just a few that I've tried so far. I did try the lucky box chicken on cake noodles (lots of sautéed onions in the gravy), garlic and mochiko chicken are customers' favorites. I turned on a friend to this place and now we came twice so far. I guess after seeing my lucky box special mix plate, my friend wanted that next. The garlic ahi was my friend's favorite. Just the parking can be confusing where does the 15 minute parking stalls section ends and the middle section that said for parking permits. They seem busier since Lucky Box was featured on Cheat Eats. I guess they are Lucky! They seems to be doing well. Great cost, generous portions, and delicious. Even the service was great too. read more

Food was pretty good. The Katsu sauce could be a little more tangy and flavorful. We got chicken katsu plate and 2 sides of Mac salad. Mac salad was a little extra tangy but good. Huge portions especially for the price. Ridiculous amount of food, my wife and I split one regular plate and still had 1/3 leftover. Will come back! read more

I've finally got my hands on 6 pcs Sesame Shrimp Toast! I had my eyes on it from when this restaurant first opened. I ate half the amount before my work out. Then, I consumed the remaining three after exercise. Genius idea as the under side is grilled toast, filling has shrimp mixture, top is grilled, then sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. Loved that filling remained intact and did not fall out at all while dipping in the sweet chili sauce. Satisfied my afternoon craving, dinner and my headache went away. Gracious customer service. Worker informed me they're out of lychee for smoothies and have all other flavors. Here's my take on mango smoothie. Can definitely taste mango and ice consistency upholds very well. I drank 1/4 of mango and boba, both tasted fine, exercised for 45 minutes, then returned to see ice did not change, only a little mango liquid melted. Boba is included with the beverage. Boba toward the end was a little mushy. Not what I hoped for. My biggest concern is the floors were sticky. My feet were firmly planted and I had to lift them up. I checked the underneath of my footwear and nothing sticky under the grip. Couldn't see the stickiness on the floors. Definitely able to feel it. If I can walk fast with memory foam covered footwear in a clean office and parking lot, that means the floors need a good mopping. Perhaps I'll return at my leisure for garlic or mochiko chicken. Ambiance is casual. Free, shared parking lot with other businesses in Waiakamilo Shopping Center. read more

I got they're shrimp fried rice again about a month ago and it was very different. Not old-school, chinese banquet style like in my initial review.

On our first visit, we ordered the house special wagyu loco moco and mochiko chicken and were surprised how generous the portions were. They were so generous I was sure we'd have leftovers. But then we started eating and I have to be honest - it was so good that there were no leftovers lol. On other visits, we tried the kalua pork & cabbage (very good and again, generous portion!), grilled salmon (not bad), beef stew (not bad), and sweet and sour spareribs (good). Service was always friendly and efficient, and the restaurant itself is spacious with lots of tables inside. Finally, plenty of parking although it is shared with the many other establishments at Waiakamilo Shopping Center, so it can fill up at peak times. read more

When I noticed a wave of Yeeps trying out a new business, it got my attention where I read a handful of reviews and scrolled through numerous delicious food pics. It was a major plus when I realized the restaurant is not too far from my home, so I bookmarked them. Them? Lucky Box Restaurant (LBR), opened in late January 2024 in the Waiakamilo Shopping Center with neighbors of McDonald's, Original Pancake House, and Ha Long Pho Noodle House. LBR focuses on local food, burgers and fries, Chinese food offerings, spaghetti and boba drinks. My cousin recently came back for a short visit as she now lives on the East Coast and wanted to get together. To satisfy her craving for local food, I suggested we come to LBR with a former colleague for an early dinner. We arrived at about 530pm with a handful of patrons who were dining in and ordering carryout. LBR is spacious with multiple tables and booths. The interior is well lit with minimal décor where I found the restaurant to be clean and pleasant. I pretty much had my mind set on garlic chicken after seeing Fran C.'s post but after consulting with my dining mates, we decided to get several plates and an appetizer to dine family style. The cashier took our order, and we were given glasses of water and we waited for our food. To be honest, I don't really know how long the wait was because we were having a great time catching up with each other as we last saw her one year ago. The staff called our food order, so I retrieved the food and after snapping some photos, it was time to dig in. Here's a summary of what we ate: Sesame Shrimp Toast (4.5/5) These were executed well and made fresh. Deep fried until golden brown, the sesame shrimp toast is cut into triangles and served with a semi sweet and sour thick sauce. The toast was crispy and delicious even by itself. The color was on the darker side than what I saw in photos. Garlic Chicken (5/5) Boneless chunks of chicken with skin are deep fried and then tossed in a sweetened glaze. Served with generous rice portion which paired well together. I'd order this again. Garlic Ahi (4/5) 2 generously sliced ahi were grilled and then topped with minced garlic and green onions. The ahi had a nice sear and still moist. Seems like the chef forgot to add salt and pepper when grilling as the fish was bland. Served with a lemon wedge. Shrimp with Broccoli and Cake Noodles (4.5/5) It was a pleasant surprise to have the cake noodles packed in a separate container from the toppings. I was afraid the broccoli would be overcooked as witnessed in some photos but because we ate it immediately, texture was still al dente. Loved how the noodles are cooked properly where the exterior had a crust, and the middle was soft and moist. Not a fan of broccoli so I would have preferred mixed vegetables instead. Iced Honey Lemon Tea (4.5/5) Very refreshing and good balance between the honey and lemon flavors. I found this drink not overly sweet which was a plus in my books. Service was above average. There was only 1 counter staff and she had to manage all foot traffic with people shuffling in to order. I also noticed LBR has DoorDash as I heard the ringer go off. We were given upon request some paper plates as we dined family style. Overall, a solid first experience at LBR where I would be game for a return visit. Next time I'd like to come with my family as I'll get to order an array of plate lunches, so I'll get to sample more of their extensive menu. 2024 #25 read more
