    Orange beef
    Jenny M.

    A friend recently took me to Lucky City, a venue I hadn't visited in a decade. Its considerable distance from my residence may have contributed to my prolonged absence. However, a friend brought me there on a Saturday night, and it was packed with patrons. We sat down, but our food didn't arrive until an hour later. Upon arrival, I only enjoyed the fried shrimp. The orange beef was overly sweet, the tofu fish lacked flavor and was too hard. On a separate occasion, my mother ordered the seafood crispy noodle and soy sauce chicken, which were satisfactory. However, the seafood crispy noodle only included three small shrimp, mostly accompanied by imitation crabmeat. The flavor was acceptable, not overly salty. Nevertheless, I didn't appreciate the environment. Given the nature of the establishment, I didn't expect exceptional service. Will I return? Yes, I will, as the dishes were reasonably priced. They offer a promotion where you can choose three dishes and a soup for $40 or four dishes and a soup for $50.

    Family of 7 outing and we decided to dine here on a weeknight. Upon entering we were seated pretty quick and order hot jasmine tea and family meal. It's a prefixed menu and it comes with soup, pork and chicken dishes, tofu, Peking duck with bun, stir fry veggies and mushrooms. The portion size is okay. The seasoning is good. I can't say it's the best Chinese food I've had especially when my hometown is NJ and I've dined in NY/NJ with many local mom pop good eats. However, given I'm on vacation, the food here is fine. The atmosphere here for sure is no difference than NY/NJ with people chatting, employees yelling at the chefs and servers and with occasional background noise of some clashing sound in the kitchen.

    Love this place! Especially since Sun Lok Kee closed down, we need to support local authentic cantonese restaurant stern sure they stay open. Favorite dishes were Spicy pork chop, bbq pork and eggplant. Beef and broccoli was very slightly ovecooked and the fish tofu was hit and miss. Service was pretty typical. This place is popular so it's a pretty lively restaurant! Check it out!

    Great place for Cantonese Chinese food especially if you are eating with a lot of people. Love the bbq meats! Wonderful meal to celebrate Lunar New Year

    Fish fillet tofu hotpot, stir fry round bean with pork, roasted pork and duck, corn soup, and steam rice.

    Cantonese restaurant. Price is low compared to other restaurants and yet their dishes are really tasty, authentic and makes you crave for more. Love coming to this restaurant over and over again.

    My family and I came here for some Cantonese Chinese food. We have not had any for a while so coming here brought back memories and the ambiance of the Bay Area in California. The food was delicious, especially the Beef Chow Fun and the Roasted Duck. The service was good and our server was kind. The Crispy Noodle with Chicken was good was well. We do place to come again!

We ate egg rolls, crab Rangoon, and soup, followed up by orange beef and beef fried rice. The crab Rangoon could have used more stuffings, but what was there was good. I thoroughly enjoyed the orange beef. The tenderness of the beef and the taste of the sauce was on point. Definitely don't pass on this one if you are craving Chinese food. Note: they do serve peanuts before the meal, so watch for that with allergies!

This place is absolutely made for a group outing, and we're already planning to come back with a group to take full advantage. The food was a delight. The Singapore noodles had this wonderful curry flavor that I absolutely loved, and the combo fried rice was just as satisfying. We also ordered the Peking duck (P1 on the menu). It was good, though not quite as flavorful on its own as we'd hoped. That said, once you load it up with the hoisin, cucumber, and spring onions, it all comes together beautifully. The bao buns that came with it were soft and delicious, honestly a highlight. We also sipped on hot jasmine tea throughout, which was the perfect, refreshing complement to the whole meal. A solid spot with great vibes, tasty dishes, and room to grow on us even more with a return visit.

We ordered: Cumin Lamb (side: fried rice); Singapore Noodle Combination (chicken/shrimp/beef); Eggplant w/ Garlic Sauce (side: steamed rice); Okra w/ Giant Oyster Mushroom (side: steamed rice); and Xao Long Bao (6 pcs). WOW! The braised okra with giant oyster mushroom positively SURPRISED and leap frogged to the top of my preferred vegetable GOTOs...The cumin lamb was SO tender and VERY flavorful. One of the best preparations yet. The Singapore noodle combo and Xao Long Bao did not disappoint... More importantly, the service we received was attentive, courteous, knowledgeable, and prompt. Sadly, the eggplant with garlic sauce is the ONLY reason a star is withheld for this review...it detracted from traditional Chinese style; notes of garlic eviscerated by the chef's sweetening to satisfy an American palette...Why fix something that's unbroken?...I get it. The restaurant has to cater to its customers who populate this mix use (business/lease residential) area at the NW corner of Alma and Hwy 121, but doesn't that limit its draw? Guess we'll just have to head either further south on Central (HWY 75) to the Legacy & Spring Creek areas or further west to the Preston and Warren Pkwy Frisco TX area to satisfy our authentic Chinese cuisine food cravings.

But regardless, we didn't have enough skin so asked if we can get 2 more skins, even if we had to pay for them. The waitress barked at us that it comes in 10-pks and that she can't get us just 2 pieces. Fine, but there's no need to be annoyed and roll your eyes at us. The service was much to be desired. We ordered the A-Choy vegetable and it was awful, old and yellow and not cooked well. It's like they didn't sauté it in a hot enough wok so it wasn't crispy. So disappointing this time. Don't get me wrong, the Peking Duck and the soup that comes with it were still pretty good. Thus the second star.
