Great space in an unassuming area. We went for takeout, but you can easily enjoy dine in service. We enjoyed the orange chicken being lightly breaded and cooked just perfectly. The chicken and shrimp eggrolls were a family favorite alongside the (sweet) cream cheese wontons. Can't wait to try more read more

After hearing so many locals online talk about this place I had to try it out. I was only ordering for myself but intended on having leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I was suggested to try their special for two for $25.99 which includes 2 fried and/or white rice, 2 entrees, soup and 2 egg rolls (I opted for no soup and 4 egg rolls). The order is made to order so it's not sitting under a heat lamp. Service was great and the cashier/cook was very nice. I had the garlic shrimp and kung pao chicken and the portions are very generous. Inside is very spacious with plenty of seating. Next time I'm craving some fresh Chinese food with nice portions at a great price I'll definitely be back since it's down the street from me. Forgot to mention they don't take cash but they take credit cards and Apple Pay! read more

Ordered to go once I arrived and it was done in 15 minutes. Very friendly, kind service that gave me recommendations. Well packed too. All three dishes were wonderful. The portions filled the containers. The kung pao was enough for three portions. Not really spicy but I love that it did have peanuts. Honey Walnut Shrimp had a nice breading, not too thick, and balanced sweet sauce. I was surprised at how many walnuts there were, generous. Chow mien had a good char and solid favor. Things were not overly salty. I appreciate that it was all cooked to order. Great late night spot. read more

Found this gem after a facebook recommendation. I actually live around the corner and thankfully I now have a go to place for Chinese food. Service was great and food was delicious. It's your typical hole in the wall place. Decore was decent but we're not there for the decor, we go cause of the food. Will certainly come back. read more

Thanks for nothing TIK TOK! - 10 stars First of all, this place LOOKS like it is closed...permanently. The web site says it opens on Saturday @3pm. My 2 item order(spicy beef &chicken won tons) was supposed to be ready 3:15. I waited till 3:25 and kept looking in the window, no sign of movement and no answer when I called on the phone. I left, Never to return! Good thing I had 3 trays of food from a TRUE Chinese restaurant from The Chinese Deli in Carson! read more

If anybody is hungry please come give these people you're business. From the outside this restaurant looks unappealing but when you come inside it's clean and modern and plenty of room for sitting. The food is made to order and is very large in portions. We ordered the dinner two people menu for $25.99, it was enough food for at least four people with the two entrees. I wish I had come here sooner. I don't live but a little way from here, and have driven by so many times. They are open till 11:00 tonight. They do not accept cash so be ready to pay with your card. The address is 1320 West Willow Street, phone is 562-981-7500 Lucky Chopsticks. Great assortment and everything that we had was so delicious and fresh to order, the friendly waitress is eager for us, that would include you too, to share their menu and pictures so here you go... read more

I accidentally ordered wonton soup, wanted the egg flower instead , waitress brought us egg flower also! That's effort ! Attentiveness and accommodating . For 5 adults our bill totaled 110$ read more

I really wanted to like this place, but I was greatly disappointed! Orange chicken is one of my go-to's when ordering Chinese food, and theirs just isn't good! I read another review that said Trader Joe's frozen orange chicken was better, and it really is! The texture was not crisp, the meat was a little dry, and the orange flavor is very tangy. I also ordered the chow mein, and that was just okay... not horrible but also not great! Lastly, no fortune cookies? That is Chinese takeout 101 and there was no fortune cookie given with my order. I'll just have to keep driving to Carson when I want amazing Chinese food read more

I want to like this place better... I'll just leave it at that... food is sub-par. Proprietors are trying hard... Just not my cup of tea... Posted this to Facebook: We had the $40 meal deal last night and have observed the following: 1. The hot/sour soup's temperature was not hot. Lukewarm at best. The ingredients were lackluster compared to other Chinese restaurants. No wood-ear mushrooms, not enough tofu chunks, eggs did not taste fresh. Not enough spicy taste (hot). The sourness in a sense tasted rancid which is a telling sign of chef not knowing how to properly prepare a hot/sour soup. 2. We opted for the Mongolian beef upgrade. Too much of the brown sauce which overpowered the entire dish. Need to add green onion. 3. We opted for the braised shrimp dish. At this point, I was very disappointed with our meal and this may have clouded my review of this place. The shrimp did not taste fresh and was over-fried before tossed in the wok. The sauce tasted like the sauce used for the egg rolls with garlic added to it. No vegetables (onions and peppers would have been perfectly acceptable). 4. We added the garlic sautéed spinach to our meal. Overcooked and mushy... While the staff was friendly and tried their best, the quality of the food is not what we were expecting. While the price point was eye catching, it will be very difficult for me to make a return trip. Much to my chagrin, we left disappointed... I hope the owners really read these critiques seriously. I want local businesses to do well. This place has A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES!!! read more

When we first walked in the inside was very warm, but the waitress then turned the fan on for us, and it made it a lot more comfortable in there. We were the only ones in there so it was a little worrisome, but we were greeted with happy, smiles and friendliness. We did the dinner special that was like 25 bucks for eggrolls soup, two entrées, and two sides of rice it was really good. Definitely would recommend if you're in the area even though it is a little ghetto seeming outside. Also, don't forget to get yourself a side of chili sauce so good and all homemade. read more

This spot might not look super inviting from the outside, but trust me -- once you walk in, the staff at Lucky Chopsticks make you feel right at home. They're so friendly and the food is way better than you'd expect for the price. We got the $25.99 combo deal, which came with two fried rice, hot and sour soup, chicken string bean, jalapeño chicken, and two eggrolls -- a ton of food for two people (and still had leftovers!). Everything was delicious, but the jalapeño chicken was the star -- that sauce is amazing, I wish I could take some home! Great service, great portions, and great flavors. Hidden gem for sure! read more

Order food on Christmas via DoorDash, came to the restaurant when we were notified that food was ready. When we arrived there was at least 15 people waiting for their orders too. Ended up having to leave and cancel our order after we waited 1 hour for the food to be ready on DoorDash and an addition 35 minutes after arriving to the restaurant. I understand that it was Christmas Day but we were barely even addressed. read more

We love this place! For late night dinners when everything is closed, this place never disappoints. The quality and value is good. We usually get the meal special for 4 people, and that is plenty for a family of 5. Must try: House special beef steak, hibey walnut glazed shrimp... Try this place out! read more

I inquired for a party of 18-21 people and they were so helpful. Gave me all the info I needed and more. I had scheduling conflicts with my guests so I had to cancel. They understood and replied to me positively. I will definitely eat there and give them a try. read more

Came here based on an article in Longbeachize and after consulting reviews here on Yelp. Really wanted to like this place due to its location and it being a small family run business. The proprietors work hard but they can barely be heard as they speak so softly. We ordered the $40 special which started with the hot and sour soup that was neither temperature nor spicy hot, but rather a sour lukewarm glop of congealed cornstarch. I have eaten Chinese food my entire life, and the meal was not par with any Chinese food that I have eaten nor was it aligned with my palate. read more

I can't describe how grateful I am to have found this place, and so close to my home! I was looking for food late night about two weeks ago and found L.C. on Google. The rating was solid, and it's literally right around the corner from my new apartment, and they happened to have my favorite dish (Jalapeno Chicken) on their menu. I walked in and saw what looked like an operation that was reduced down to two people; the young lady behind the counter added up my total on a calculator (not her phone, an old school, Texas Instruments calculator) and proceeded to tell me that they don't take cash. I was no doubt annoyed, I'd specifically only brought cash with me, but then she told me how the place had been broken into several times and so they don't keep a POS system, or register or even a computer. They do everything by hand I'm a sap, so I added an entree of house fried rice to my order (which many of the reviews and even the server highlighted) and said a quick prayer for the building before leaving. I got home, and man I wish I would have taken pictures...generously-sized, hearty cuts of chicken, fresh jalapenos, just enough veins and seeds to provide the spice it needs...and the sauce was perfection. The fried rice was an uppercut to the jaw, you can tell it was LITERALLY made to order, not sitting reserve in a metal tray or wok...buddy did his thing. The CLINCHER, not only did I have plenty of leftovers THE FOOD WAS BETTER THE NEXT DAY, especially the chicken entree. God bless and preserve this place, there's a lot of love filling those walls. AND KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE CRIME IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD Y'ALL, that sh** is so weak. read more

They have the best hot and sour soup in town! They have great delivery drivers and it's my go to spot.

I found Lucky Chopsticks on Yelp in seek of authentic Chinese food with at least a review of 3.5. I was happy to see that it was at 4.5 and the pictures looked like the food I was looking for! Since I was so tired of walk-up Chinese Food places that you can see prepare your paper container that soaks up all of the juices and flavor, I was seeking larger portions and food that I can see the steam come off of! And YES! I found this in Lucky Chopsticks! The combination rice was delicious! The shrimp with lobster sauce was tasty. The orange chicken was flavorful and the quality of the meat was excellent. So again, thank you Lucky Chopsticks for being there for me with very delicious food that satisfied my appetite and craving! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lucky Chopsticks, a Chinese restaurant located on the west side of Long Beach. After reading some positive reviews, we decided to give it a shot, and we were not disappointed. This place is newly remodeled but feels more like a whole in the wall spot. They seemed to get a lot of phone orders! I got the Spicy Tofu and my son got the orange chicken.. The tofu was nicely cooked, with a perfect balance of a crispy exterior and a moist, flavorful interior. The addition of green onions provided a refreshing touch, and the black beans added another layer of flavor. I will definitely be ordering this again. My son opted for the Orange Chicken, and it turned out to be a great choice as well. Unlike the typical battered orange chicken found in many places, Lucky Chopsticks' version was unique. The chicken was crispy on the outside, yet remained moist and tender on the inside, without the heavy batter. The flavors were bold and well-balanced, with a tangy sweetness that my son absolutely loved. In addition to the great flavors, the service at Lucky Chopsticks was friendly and welcoming. Their server said he is the only worker there. He really wants to help the family get the word out there because 1. It's good food and 2. He mentioned they were a really nice family. I'm all about supporting small businesses and this os one we'll definitely be frequenting. If you're in the mood for delicious Chinese cuisine and find yourself on the west side of Long Beach, I highly recommend paying a visit to Lucky Chopsticks. We will be back to try out more items from their extensive menu! Note: This review was based on my personal experience and may vary for others. read more

It is really hard to find decent Chinese food in Long Beach and I was hoping that this place would be a contender. Sadly, I think this is the worst orange chicken I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and get the frozen bag from Trader Joe's as it is leaps and bounds better than what I received. The chicken was increasingly dry, tough, and chewy and had maybe 2 tablespoons of sauce for the entire dish, that was just thrown on top, not even tossed in an attempt to coat. The broccoli beef was just ok, as was the chow Mein (though very garlicky). read more

Had a great and very affordable dinner here on Friday. The food was excellent, and the prices were really reasonable. They were busy so it took a bit of time for the food to be served but the staff were super friendly, and the food was hot and tasty. We did the 2 person meal, soup, egg rolls, rice & 2 entrees for under $40. read more

Lucky Chopsticks - This was in the orange chicken! - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Our search for good Chinese food is over. It's not a to go to type spot where you pick your food from the hot bar but maybe that's a good thing. This place has easy parking, very clean inside, great customer service. We wanted a combination type meal with fried rice and chow mein. They have family deals on the menu but it only included steamed rice or chow mein. The woman working said they can sub for chow mein and no up charge. We ordered the beef and broccoli which was good quality and very flavorful so far the best round and we've been looking. The orange chicken was nice and crunchy and meaty it wasn't over battered. The fried rice was good and traditional and the chow mein was delicious too. I've never had egg drop soup but it was included with the meal and that had a thick flavorful broth with lots of egg and crunchy wontons to go on top made it perfect! I'm also going to say they have the best egg rolls, not overly greasy, good veggie filling and a perfect crunch! While we waited for the food to be cooked and prepped to go we took advantage of the buy one get one drinks and enjoyed Thai iced teas. Out the door for all of that it was only $54! Anyway can't say anything bad about this place and this is going to be our new go to for Chinese food it beats Nomads in my husbands eyes for me I like both but it blows any other Chinese food spot out of the water based on quality, flavor and price. read more

Service was amazing. Portions were HUGE, food was fantastic. Highly recommend the King Pao Chicken and Thai Tea! Definitely going back

Service is very friendly and the food is really tasty! We really love doing take out every other night of the week!
