Looook, Lucky Cheng's is always a good time! It has been almost 10 years since my last show, but it was just as fun as I remember it to be. The performers are truly very talented - and just oozing with personality, charisma and wit. If you're familiar you know the brunch drill - prix fixe menu, choose from the selection. You have an option to enjoy bottomless mimosas (which we did) but I actually opted to just buy a couple of bottles of sparkling wine for the group since the mimosas are pre-batched and pretty sweet! The food is a-okay, but it's really about the show and the vibes more than anything else (and on that they always deliver!) Thank you Lucky Cheng's for bringing so much joy into people's lives and helping them celebrate some of their most special moments! read more

The show is amazing and the performers are everything! They are very personable and lovely. The food is another story. It's just not good. Ordered the steak and eggs. Underseasoned and cold. The eggs were questionable. The best thing is the truffle fries. Maybe another entree is better. Bottomless and food are $44. They are good about refills. read more

Lucky Cheng's performances never disappoints!! My second time seeing this show at their new venue. All the Queens were amazing and so talented and the ambiance set cool vibes. The DJ def kept us grooving. Absolutely loved the host Chaka-konvict!! My seat was definitely dope as well as I was right by the stage and got to see everything firsthand. The mimosas were always on rotation as my server made sure my glass was always full. My ONLY COMPLAINT is that the food wasn't hot. Cold eggs aren't appetizing. read more

I remember going to this place years ago! I honestly don't remember much about it. It was probably at a different location. And I also just don't remember what I ate. I know this might be an irrelevant review but all I remember is that the performances were amazing! The queens are very beautiful and talented. I was able to meet a bunch of them after the show. I actually took pictures with one that ended up on RuPaul's drag race! read more

This was an EXPERIENCE!!!!! I had my tickets from Groupon since April, and yes, I finally used my tickets that they accommodated. The food is hands down for brunch 10/10. They HONESTLY kept tne mimosa flowing no glasses were not empty even towards the end ya glass was magical filled lol. This location was at the secret house which was perfect the stage and the decor gave sexy grunge affair lol. I definitely want to take my friends to the dinner part on a Saturday now we had so much fun. 10/10 Ladies yall did that!!!! read more

This place offered a great drag show and dinner for those who want a more intimate drag experience rather than being overwhelmed with crowds. The tables are spread out and stagefront for the best view possible. You will have to pay attention to where you're going while looking for the wooden door they note in your reservation. They have no signage prior to opening the doors for the act. Vibes are great and the staff are mostly super friendly. Stoli was the MC and head performer and she was entertaining but our amazing server (who also performed), Bae Jing, was absolutely STUNNING and honestly one of the best drag performers I've seen since my first show in 2008. The food met par expectations. I got the roasted chicken with cheesy risotto and mixed veggies. I feel like I got ripped off a bit on the veggies, but the food was still good. My husband got the pasta and it was subpar, reminded us of a frozen dinner, but he ate what he could. Drinks were great! We all decided to get Bae Jing's featured drink and it was SO GOOD. If you have 1-4 people, GET THE BIG PUNCH BOWL. #Exotic Overall, the experience was great and even the not so great things were overshadowed by the great things. We're regular NYC visitors, and do plan on returning when we come back in the fall! read more

We had drag brunch this past Saturday, and it was the best experience I've had for something like this. The entrance was a very unassuming door with a staircase that goes far down into a very cool basement (which it was a hot day so that was a relief). All of the waitresses were in drag, and To Bell was the one who waited on us. She was fantastic and very attentive. We had the Eggs Benedict, French Toast, Steak & Eggs, and bottomless mimosas for 2 hours, which were all great. Every queen really put in the effort. Every joke landed, every song was served, and everyone in the audience was eager to participate. Make sure to bring cash to tip the drag queens! I'm telling everyone that this is the drag brunch to go and see read more

Friendly staff and amazing entertainment. The Yelp comments that mentioned about the waitstaff not filling up bottomless drinks frequently enough were false or at least false in my experience. They filled up my mimosa glass so frequently that my glass was never empty! Food was delicious and filling. I would definitely come here again for the ambiance and special occasion. read more

Came for drag brunch bottomless. The entrance is pretty hard to find because there's not really a huge sign but we lined up outside prior to our 1p show and then they started letting us in. It's downstairs in a kind of basement ish vibe but the lighting and decor was cool. The food was decent, not sure if the benedict was my favorite or the potatoes but it was $45 for bottomless and $20 for entrance. The mimosas were steadily refilled throughout but there was one instance where our server was performing so we went without refills until the 2 hour limit was over so I would maybe recommend having someone cover tables when their servers are performing or dropping more than one carafe off especially at larger tables. It was a fun show though and performers were very entertaining! Food was okay. read more

We had great time here. Came to celebrate our friend's birthday. We got bottomless brunch: the food was good. I ordered the salad, and the portion was huge, I was full with it. As for mimosas, they were so weak, watered down ;((. The entertainers - honestly , to me, it felt like they were just going around and collecting money. And Godiva, the person, who was taking care of us, was simply the best . Thank you, Godiva read more

DROP EVERYTHING. Not sure how I've never been here before, but I will be coming back often and bringing more friends. Came here for my birthday brunch and it ended up being one of the best birthdays I've ever had. Brunch is reasonably priced for admission and brunch, costing $30, with another $20 for unlimited boozy brunch. The food was great and they have TATER TOTS. The service was great too and my glass was always full. As an AVID drag fan and performer myself, I think I was most impressed with the caliber of performance and professionalism displayed by the queens. First, our server was Carlos the Uber Driver (I let out a huge belly laugh when I heard that name). When I told her it was my birthday and I wanted to get drunk, she made me pound my first drink right in front of her. Smart and hilarious move, just like her performance. And I almost died when I saw her the very next night as the bartender on WWHL. Next - the illustrious, incomparable, and hysterical SVETLANA STOLI. Gurl. What a complete package: beauty, talent, humor, and entertainment. She's the host of the show and it's clear why. I don't want to reveal too much more about her performance, so as not to spoil it for the others, but trust me when I say - she is the next drag superstar!!! Calling it now. Make sure you go see her now before the RuPaul crew starts charging an arm and a leg. The rest of the performers were incredible too. Truly the best New York has to offer and made me feel grateful for living in this amazing city. My final piece of advice: BRING DOLLAR BILLS!! read more

This was SO FUN and hilarious. And surprisingly the food was excellent. I had the double burger with spicy tots and it was just so flavorful. I was not expecting that from a drag club at all. There were about 5-6 different entertainers, but hands down my favorite was Kari Kerning. Stole the entire show by far. She had HILARIOUS skits, fantastic costumes, and truly knew how to work the crowd. This is definitely not a spot for kids, nor is it for anyone who is PC or easily offended. There was lots of pussy, boobs, fake nudity, cursing, etc. For the cost? $38 was well worth the price of a virtually 3 hour boozy brunch show. I thought it was from 3-5pm but when I looked at my watch it was 5:45! Bonus tip: If you check in via Yelp, you will get a free Pink Pussy drink. And they DON'T skimp on alcohol! read more

Meh, This 'brand' has taken a dive since its glory days in the East Village. Kind of sad to be honest given the overall elevated art of current drag. Heavy on the camp, but not much actual entertainment (singing, dancing). They go through the motions and collect the dollar bills. The restaurant staff associated with the show are rude and inefficient. read more

We came to a brunch show for my sister's bachelorette and we all had an AMAZING time! My sister is a huge fan of drag shows and drag queens, and she was obsessed with the queens we saw perform! Several of her friends had never been to a drag show before, and after this show, they all want to go to more. The building entrance is unmarked, and went we down stairs to the main room, it looked small so I was skeptical at first. But the performances blew us away, and the size was actually perfect! Each seat had fun pink sunglasses, and we got to take lots of fun pictures on the stage afterwards. They had prizes for people who followed/posted on social media, and they even pulled guests up on stage for a lipsync for your life competition. 10/10 would recommend coming here for a brunch show! read more

This is the biggest ripoff space I have been in all New York. The menus don't have a price to see what you consuming cost. Only some drinks and deserts have price. The food is bad and over charge. They are clearly taking advantage of the people. A piece of salmon or chicken is 45$. The drake-queens give there hart but the restaurant destroy there work. Never again! read more

Probably one of the best drag brunch shows I've seen! Svetlana Stoli is one of the hardest working queens. She performed 4+ times, emceed a packed show, changed her look at least 6 times, and had another 5 queens perform dolors, group numbers and even had audience participation! And there was food and drinks! How can you meet that?! Most drag brunches have a couple queens, a few numbers and more talking than serving a show. These ladies worked so hard and gave me a damn good afternoon! Can't wait to come back! Get it Lucky Cheng's! read more

This was one of my BEST birthday celebrations for my wife. We had the best time laughing all night. The "ladies" were generally welcoming as we arrived. They graciously allowed us to take as many photos with them. Dinner was quite tasty! And the drink selections were fun. If i had to do it again id get a flaming mixed drink to share. The show after dinner was disco theme and Paulina had quite a knack for bringing the crowd together. Thanks to Graham from VA for telling me about this place.. id come back with more friends (but I'd be too embarrassed to bring my mom)! She could come but not with me!!

Wow what a great performance they put on here!! The place could seem a little sketchy when you first get there. You can only go up the elevator in groups of 8!( so don't try to be he 9th person you might kill everyone,hahah). Once you go in the strobe lights definitely get you. The tables are elegantly decorated with cold water waiting for all guest. You are placed at group tables with other people you maybe not know but that's not bad; you make new friends. They serve a three course meal with all samples of the appetizers included as well as both dessert options and you just choose your main course which is only three options. All the meals were really good with interesting blends of flavor but wouldn't just come here for food. The portions are small and with the drinks you order you'll probably be immediately hungry afterwards, but then the party starts!! The drag queens do a great job at included the show goers in the performances it could be a little uncomfortable over the top at times but it's also uncomfortably hilarious! Would definitely recommend this for people to step out on the wild side for the day it makes for a great night! I'd come here again! read more

Ok here's the deal. I love drag. I've been going to see drag for years. I totally turned my nose up to this experience thinking it would be less than... i was invited with out of town friends. I walked in....and yes it was a predominantly bachelorette parties and girls birthdays with just a light sprinkling of gay man realness....but I ordered my burger and sat with an open mind and was so happy I did. The food was fine, lots of fries which i appreciate. The real star here is the talent. Our server (an Asian drag queen whose been in the business for many moons) was spectacular funny and gorgeous! All of the queens far exceeded my expextations! Thankfully I brought lots of $$ to tip the dolls! I had a great fun time and would def go back for a joy filled and glamorous outing! I felt like I was the lucky one to get to go to Lucky Chengs. read more

So much fun. I took my daughter and 3 of her friends to Lucky Cheng's for her 15th birthday. I have to say all the Ladies were wonderful. During the show the interaction with my daughter &friends as well as other underage girls and gUys was appropriate but not making them feel like "babies". Our server was so much fun and gracious. If your are worrying about bringing your 15 and old here because of content don't be. The food was very good. I got the hanger steak, guacamole was to die for. The chips are warm too. Mmmm.

I don't know what to say. This place had terrible food. Terrible portions and show was too "sex oriented" for my tasting. Gone to a couple places similar for other events and they were more of a show then this. This was mostly just guys collecting singles. Props to our waiter/waitress The Uber driver. Great guy. Only reason why I bumped them up to 2* Otherwise not worth the money to come here. Our bill was almost 100$/person because of their "mandatory 20% tip".. Thank you. read more

Lucky Cheng's is a New York institution. Like many of us renters, they've re-located a few times, but have no doubt they are still around, and these women know how to work it! In reading through some of the negative reviews, they all focus on the price, somehow forgetting the economics of a live show, with performers that need (and deserve) to be paid. All of the performers were absolutely lovely- happily chatting tables up before the show, available for selfies and for chatter. Take lots of $1s so you can make it rain - that's part of the fun. In terms of the performances- there were a lot of original acts, extremely over-the-top and very fun. Lots of great musical mash-ups mixed in with spoken word from movies to absolutely hilarious effect. Carrie had the absolute best physical comedy and facial expressions; Svetlana Stoli knows no bounds in regards to her performance. This may not be the show you expect, but come with an open mind and respect the work that goes into it and have an awesome time. read more

I'm between a 3 and a 3.5, but I'll go with a 4. A friend recommended this as a good NY experience. It's very easy to get to. Reservations are recommended. It's pricey on the weekends, $50 for dinner and the show. We paid thinking that it would be good to do at least once. The show was worth it, but the food was not. My chicken and mashed potatoes plate had no seasoning, while my friend's chicken meatballs tasted off to her. No one explained what desert was... it just showed up at the table at some point. The signature cocktails aren't bad though! Food aside, the show was GREAT. We had a wonderful server. It was hilarious and engaged the audience directly. The girls look fabulous. I paid for my recently married friend to get a lap dance, and it was so worth it. In summary, you'll go for the show, not the food. I wish there was a way to pay a cover and just sit at the bar to watch. read more

Oh what fun this place is. It never gets old. It is PERFECT for a bachelorette weekend, if you don't feel like going to a skeezy strip club and want to do something more entertaining instead. First off, it's a pretty good deal. $50 a head, for performance, and a huge group dinner. And the dinner was actually good! Or at least as good as any place on Mott street. It's not gourmet, but that's not why your coming to this type of establishment, so get off your high horses. These ladies WORKED for it. They were phenomenal. I rarely laugh so hard at a comedy show!! The MC was ridiculous.. it's like the drag roast of a lifetime. Only in NYC can you find this... All the other dancers were great (or at least were trying hard and working for it!) and overall we had a BLAST. SIDENOTE - if you are easily offended, this isn't for you, This also isn't for you if you are UNDER 18 -- why some idiots chose to bring young girls here (there was a quinceanera party there) is beyond me. I could tell that the adults in that party were super embarrassed and uncomfortable with a lot of the show. Do your research, people, its not a place for kids. That being said, for what it is, this is a great time, and totally a deal! read more

By far the WORST experience ever!!! HORRIBLE!! Drags are rude, mean, nasty, classless, ugly, tired and just old!! Super expensive for no reason.... the place looks like a cheep banquet hall. Food was horrible!! LADIES!! they changed $38 for 2 margaritas!! The show was 2005 drag queen show. I'm not sure if the drag that had the main show was jealous of our beautiful niece but He/She was super rude and made nasty remarks towards her. He treated her awful! I will never recommend this place. Please do not waste your time and money. So annoyed I have to give it a star they deserve a turd read more

I want to Lucky Cheng's With Friends. Be an incredibly entertaining night. FACILITY The space is pretty clean and small. So be warned that you will be elbow-to-elbow with a stranger. FOOD The food was pretty good. I found that the pineapple chicken and vegetables were amazing. They were very for the flavorful and the pineapple and vegetables paired well. Avoid the fried rice.

Went for Saturday 3pm brunch as a group of 5 and we all had a great time! We had the VIP tickets and our souvenir provided at our table were heart sunglasses for everyone.

I went to the original Lucky Cheng's in college (10 years ago) on 1st Ave & 6th St (I believe that was the intersection) and I really wanted to take a friend to see the show. It was spur of the moment so I made a reservation at 8pm for the 10pm show for 3 people at this new 48th street location. Got there at exactly 10pm from dinner and we were greeted by a long-ish line, as expected. Reservations and non-reservations were in the same line, so expect that. I had confirmation of a reservation on my phone and email but the hostess didn't have my name. Regardless, they were more than willing to accommodate us and seated us in the middle table, which was AWESOME. We had front row seats to the show and saw the queens up close. I was nowhere near as close to the queens the last time I went. I will say that the old location felt more intimate but this location was well spaced out and at first glance, I thought we were squished together but I had ample room. The service was excellent. Since we had just ate, we asked if we had to order from the prix fixe menu and our server, Sister Mary Helen (amazing singer btw), said that we could two drink minimum and $25 show fee. This came out to less than eating and paying for drinks. The bartenders are working very hard to make drinks for everyone. I got the orgy bowl of the pink pussy and it was delicious and STRONG. Definitely could taste the vodka. Paulina was the hostess and she was EVERYTHINGGGGG. So nice of her to take a pic with us after the show. The other girls, Detox, Ivy, Sister Mary Helen, all of them were great. I was laughing the entire time. And the game show was awesome. We made friends with the people at our table. Gentlemen - if you go, you'll probably be a target for the queens to dance on you, and some of them are raunchy so if that isn't your scene, you may want to avoid it. But I absolutely loved every second of it. Definitely want to go read more

Amazing experience, I never laughed so hard in my life. A must see for any tourist coming to town. Paulina and Sister Mary were off the chain hilarious and super talented...from Pennsylvania, they made me step out of my comfort zone and I had an amazing time. Definitely a most memorable experience for my trip to New York. Loved it! read more

I went to the first show back (since covid) April 11, 2021. The food was good, the unlimited mimosas were better, seeing live Drag again was THE BEST! Svetlana and Kari HOSTED THEIR BUSTS OFF!

Not sure if u can tell by the all caps and multiple exclamation marks, but I had a REALLY good time. Thanks for being a part of bringing LIVE, Quality entertainment back to queer spaces! read more
