Terrible!!! First a dead FLY in the bowl... We Ordered scramble egg with shrimp. It was completely overdone and the staff refused to exchange. They said it is how they made scramble egg and they will redo unless the egg smells bad. Really?!!this is their standard? Lucky City if you are reading this review, a word of advice, a restaurant is to serve good food but not food that doesn't smell bad. Will never come back again!!! read more

I've been here for several years and their food is very consistently tasteful. Their box meals have several choices which I enjoy. Recommending their salty pork chop, hot pot fish, salt&pepper fish, sauté clams, roasted pork and duck, glass shrimp, beef flat noodle, fried rice and most of their sauté veggies are good. Off box meal, salty shrimp, mayonnaise shrimp and crab w/ ginger are really good. All their food have a very good Cantonese style taste which I like. Don't expect this to be a fancy place, decor is minimal. Service is reasonable. Go for the food! read more

Lucky City - Full roasted duck - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

Love this place. The foods are fantastic specially the BBQ & marinated duck combo. The services are OK.

Delicious food! Good place to go if you are craving large portions of asian food. They have plenty of options to choose from and my food came out really quickly and was really hot read more

Great Cantonese style dishes and reasonable price. They have many option to choice and taste good as well. Highly recommended to try.

I've been eating here for quite sometime. I don't know why I haven't written a review. Not the best Cantonese food I have ever eaten but it is pretty good for DFW and the price is reasonable. Obviously, some dishes are executed better than others. My favorites are spicy fish fillet, roast pork (it is usually hanging near the register/counter), fish fillet tofu hot pot, orange chicken, shrimp wonton soup, steamed pork belly with vegetables, and fried flounder. They can do better with their fried rice, kung pao chicken, and fried crispy egg noodles. Sometimes their roast duck is good, sometimes not so good. The beef flat noodles are just ok, they are missing the wok "hey" or the charred flavor from a hot wok. If you haven't tried this place, go and try them and support your small local business owners. During this pandemic, they are closed Tuesday and Wednesday, and available for take out only. read more

Food meh. Not that great. I've had better Chinese food at 1st Chinese and Canton. We ordered the 4 entree dinner. Chicken sweet corn soup was barely warm Bbq pork and chicken were room temperature. Asked server to reheat and she had attitude. Orange chicken....Panda Express don't worry Pineapple pork chops ew. Room temp Beef broccoli came out so late so I was already done eating. Took it to go. So turned off, I may not even eat it. Service horrible, bad, rude from a female server. She was abrupt and rushing us when she took our order. I saw her blow her nose with a tissue and she continued serving food. No hand washing. Other servers were alright. Maybe u will get better service if u r Chinese Atmosphere Dirty! Loud! Take a shower and wash ur clothes when u get home or the smell will stay on u. I don't recommend this place. read more

A family style Chinese dining. I actually enjoy coming here during the weekends. Service is usually quick. Once seated, they bring you a plate of pickled cabbage which I like to eat with my rice. Depending on what I'm in the mood for, a few of my favorite dishes are: crab and asparagus soup, meat combo plate with roast pork, roast BBQ, flat noodle, snow pea leaves with beef. read more

Lucky City - Combination meat plate with your choice of meat. Love their BBQ pork and roast pork. - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

This is my first visit to Lucky City. I read other reviews and my usual stop for roast duck is First Chinese BBQ. Given this, I wanted to order my usual, roast pork and duck on rice. I've got to say, the presentation is different, but my order tasted almost as it normally does at First Chinese BBQ. I would say, at Lucky City, they gave me a little more ..... more pork, more duck, more complimentary pickled veggie. The duck sauce tasted the same. The service at Lucky City is much better than First Chinese BBQ, which is really my only complaint there. Overall, the food tasted good and I will be coming back to try their other dishes. read more

Lucky City - Roast Pork and Duck on Rice ... rated 9/10. - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

Price: Good Food: Fair Customer service: BAD we asked for a highchair for our baby, they said we must take a booster instead because of lack of space. Then, I asked to change a dish on the special menu to fried tofu and asked how much the difference would be. The waitress told me, "we are too busy to fry anything right now, they are not going to do it." WTF????? Most Chinese restaurants don't provide good customer service, but this one is the worst I had seen so far (and I am Chinese and have eaten at LOTS of Chinese places too!) Will not come back and do not recommend! read more

My family's go to Chinese restaurant! We've been coming here for years and it's always consistent. It's a small family business so the employees are always the same. Service is great and portions are huge for what you pay; we always have leftovers to take home. Our go to's are the beef flat noodles, salt and pepper pork, and barbecue pork/duck. The complimentary dessert is a cold, sweet taro soup! read more

Had several courses spread out family style for 6 adults and 1 child. This place can get busy during dinner hours. It is a Chinese restaurant and the floor under part of our table was very dirty and wet. I always order beef flat noodles at Chinese restaurants to establish my baseline to compare it to. The beef flat noodle dish was quite good. The serving size was adequate for 7. The duck was also tasty. The food came out 1 dish at a time but the wait time between the dishes were about 2-5 min apart. In the end, we got to see all the plates and get a picture of all of them with only the first one mostly served out. The food taste very homestyle cooking. No Asian fusion dishes served here. It gets 3 stars because the floor was very dirty under 2 of our chairs. read more

I ordered take out. I was told 20 mins. I got there after 30 mins and paid my bill. They don't take Amex btw. After paying had to wait another 30 mins for my food to be ready. No apologies for making me wait so long. The resturant was not super busy. Brought home food and the food smelt disgusting, looked bad and tasted worse. Threw away 40 bucks worth of food. I love Chinese food...but this is the worst food I have eaten in TX. I know Chinese food, as I moved from Flushing NY ( NYC's new Chinatown). All I can say is YUCK!!! The chicken in General Tao's chicken and beef in beef pepper steak looked like mystery meat! Nobody in my family ate the food...not even kids! read more

Not impressive as Chinese restaurants go. It's pretty cheap but I think there are much better Chinese restaurants in the area (big fan of Sichuanese Cuisine near Ranch 99). Their clay pot is decent, as well as the crispy chicken. read more

I really did not expect Chinese food this good in Dallas. We ordered the roast duck, crab rice, and a few more dishes. The only knock on this place is that the duck was served cold. Maybe the heating lamp wasn't working that day. The crab rice was impressive, if you like lots of garlic. It was enough to feed 3-4 people. The soup was terrible. Tasted like something from a Chinese buffet. Otherwise, good place to eat. Total bill for 4 dishes and soup that fed 6 people is $100. Would definitely come back. read more

This place is packed!!! But it could be because I came here on CNY, unfortunately I couldn't stay too long and had to head to DFW to pick up my cousin. Came back next weekend and it was a bit more calm, seating wasn't an issue. We ordered the salted roasted chicken, not bad at all. Ordered the Mo-Pao-Tofu, granted this is a cantonese run restaurant and it's not traditional to order this dish, but it was pretty much all MSG. The salt and pepper pork chops are good, plenty of meet and a neutral choice if you dont know what else to order. Overall a gem in the DFW metro-plex for authentic chinese food. Will go back when I'm in town. read more

How do you know when you're at an authentic chinese joint? 1. Chinese characters on the name. 2. Sui Mei (chinese rotisserie) hangs near the cash register 3. Sub par service 4. Lack of ambience Anyways, the food here so far is not too bad nor to excellent. Just in the middle. The best dish so far is their Cantonese crispy fried chicken. According to Wikipedia it's just titled, Crispy fried chicken. Amazing. I was actually born here so i have no clue what it's called for you non-natives. Nonetheless, this standard fare Cantonese dish was perfectly cooked and extremely crispy on the outside. It was the best dish of the night. The other dishes were alright. We ordered Chinese broccoli and beef, salt and pepper pork. The salt and pepper pork chops was interesting it was fried and was tossed with some slices of chili peppers. A delicious dish. Not sure what the correct name for it is. It's just deep fried and seasoned with a rice flour batter (probably rice) and seasoned with salt and pepper. The stir fry Chinese brocoli and beef was alright. The vegetables were a bit overcooked. The beef was nice and soft from the typical chinese velveting process. Oh and it gets quite hot here. My uncle, from the bay area, isn't used to the heat he had to ask to turn on the ceiling fan. lol. Welcome to Texas uncle phillip! The a/c was on the light side though. It wasn't working full-time. Going back there on monday to have dinner with my parents one last time before they head back to Michigan. So maybe the second visit will be a better judge of what's to come. Part II coming up on monday! read more

My new favorite place! Great Peking Duck and Hot and Sour Soup. It's a far drive for me but so worth it.

Star is just for hours of operation. Second time I've called for take out and the woman answering says they are closed when on Yelp it says the restaurant is open until 9:30 pm (it is Wednesday at 5:10 pm) and why answer the phone if you are closed? I think the last time I called it was a Monday night and they were closed. Please announce your hours or officially change them. read more

The is one of the most authentic Cantonese food I've found in the DFW metroplex. I've grown up in New York and lived in the San Francisco Bay area for years so I know good Cantonese food. Lucky City serves fresh BBQ duck, pork and charsui. The noodles have the proper wok flavor and the vegetables are fresh. I would definitely go back. read more

Heard from word of mouth this new Chinese place opened in Plano and was worth checking out. Suppose to have good BBQ duck. I ordered the BBQ meat combo - pork, chicken, and duck.. it was all FANTASTIC. Also tried their shrimp won ton soup, chicken fried rice (If you know what wok-hay is.. that taste is there), and Eggplant with Szechuan Pork. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. I'm certain I'll get 1 or 2 more hearty meals from the leftovers. I'm glad it was recommended to me, and I would certainly recommend it to others. I'm awaiting for an opportunity to get with friends/family and try out even more dishes. It's not a very large restaurant, but there was no wait. I do think as word spreads about this place it will get packed over time. read more

Lucky City - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

This is absolutely a gem in Plano. The food selection here is fresh and consistent. I think the best noodle soup or just soup is the wonton soup. The wonton is not stuff with fat like other places. The beef flat noodles is really good with a side of hot oil. We also had the salty fish and chicken fried rice, orange beef and chicken, snow pea leaves, tofu hotpot, and Mongolian beef. There bbq selections are the best in this area!! Try the roast duck! You can't go wrong! The staff and owner are really friendly read more

Came to this place because my usual place was closed. Boy oh boy was this a great place to pick. Hands down the BEST Chinese food I have come across thus far in Dallas. I'm from New York so it's been hard for me to find a Chinese spot out here that I can enjoy. This will now be my go to spot. I recommend! read more

Everytime I use this place it's usually pretty decent, but the wait is god awful, ordered the other day, dude in front of me probably waited 45 mins inside, I walked in after he'd been there for 10 mins, I waited 15 mins before even being acknowledged. Told them my name. And they left. You can see them brining out dozens of orders, but not giving any out, they just Answer the phone, make orders, but don't give any out. It gets worse, if you don't know anyone working there, prepared to be the last one to be helped. There will be a line out the door, someone will come in and chat it up with the employees and then get food immediately then leave, this happened 3 times while I was in line. Decent food, worst customer service and wait times. Not worth the wait at all. read more

Will definitely be back! We were looking for something new in the area and decided to give this place a shot. Servings were very generous! The service was great. read more

Let me just start out by saying I feel like I've been to almost every decent Cantonese restaurant in Plano (courtesy of my parents), and food-wise, they all kind of blend together for me. Typical of Chinese restaurants, ambiance is not a priority. The whole layout of the establishment is very standard with the BBQ display, 4-person booths & tables, and large round tables. My family usually chooses from a preset menu (versatile and affordable), and for this past visit, we got a soup, Lemon Grass Rib, Pickled Vegetable with Special Sausage, and the fish special of the day. The food was decent; I'd give three stars. What really impressed me about Lucky City were the speed, staff, and complimentary dessert (worthy of an extra star). The soup (appetizer dish) came out in less than 10 minutes after we ordered, and we didn't have to wait long for the main dishes either.The lady waiting on us was extremely friendly and hospitable towards my parents (not so much my brother or me... but I think it has to do more with culture). She checked up on us periodically to see how we were enjoying the food and if we needed anything, which I appreciated. All of this could have been due to the fact that we were the only customers for a while, but even when more customers came, the service didn't diminish. My favorite part of the meal was the dessert, a chilled taro and tapioca "soup" (not quite sure how to describe it). It was so delicious I even had my Dad's portion. Would I suggest coming here with friends? Nope. Would I come back here with family? Yeaaah, pretty sure I'll have to in the future anyways. read more

Went with a group of twelve. Eight of us got sick (upset stomach, diarrhea, etc.). We ordered family style. Among the things we ordered were: crab fried rice, kong xin cai (hollow stemmed vegetables), duck, and a crispy noodle dish. My other friend went the next day, ordered totally different dishes, and also got sick. Food was good... Not worth the explosive diarrhea though. read more

Great spot and is a popular restaurant. You could have a wait during the peak hour over the weekends. I like the selection of their menu and their bbq is certainly one of the best in the DFW area. Variety is good and more of the traditional Cantonese dishes. Service here is well run and runs a tight ship. I like the folks that work in here for their level of awareness to service the tables. They are short staffed but they work hard on it. read more

Best Cantonese food I've had in a while. Great prices, great service. I recommend the General Tso's chicken. There are some more esoteric dishes here - careful what you ask for! read more

Good Cantonese-style Chinese style at cheap prices. The set menus are especially a bargain. A lot of Chinese people come to eat here so you know it's authentic and has cheap prices! read more

This place just opened recently and apparently the head chef is the previous head chef at First Chinese BBQ (source of the hype?) I came here with my fiance's family as they are big fans of the food at First Chinese BBQ. But after having 10 dishes, I have to say that the quality is decent at best. All the proteins were on the salty side regardless of the cooking method, including the ducks and the BBQ. It might just be the kinks during the early stage of a new restaurant but the service was rather disorganized. We had to ask 3 times for water. We ordered 10 dishes and they came out one by one within a time frame of an hour, which is not acceptable. Some of the food got cold before the next dish even came out. Even the rice got cold. Hopefully they could get their acts together soon and improve on the quality of the food before the hype dies down. The food by itself would have been 3 stars but considering the service, only 2 stars. read more

I'm on a roll and 4s are coming. I won't say this is the greatest place but it can hold its Cantonese ground firmly enough. I went twice in two days, and well, the food is pretty good. Their Clearlake soup, bbq pork (cha siu), duck wrap with hoisin sauce, and a myriad of other things were all very good -- not bombtastic flavor exploding but still very good. I can't recall the ten dishes we ordered, but definitely give this place a shot. It should earn a 3 to 4 star in your book bc obviously I'm a prophet of human intuition...maybe. read more

Roast pork belly excellent. Very crispy skin. Seaweed soup excellent. Even the a day old leftover still tasted very yummy. Fried pinnaple pork chops very good Blood cubes with chives very good Squid pickled cabbage not good To try next: Roast duck Tofu hot pot read more

If you've visited the likes of First Chinese BBQ, JS Chen's, 369 Chinese BBQ, and other Cantonese restaurants around town, then Lucky City's menu will look very familiar. BBQ pork and roast duck are the first dishes to try at any restaurant with a siu mei. We were happy to discover that the pork was warm and tender, and the roast duck juicy and flavorful. My man and I loved their rendition of walnut shrimp with a slightly sweet mayo sauce and sesame-crusted walnuts. The garlic-sauced Chinese broccoli was extra garlicky as promised. When we asked our hostess about their untranslated house specials (posted on the wall), she recommended the Peking style pork chops. These arrived crispy and dressed in the a slightly sweet red Peking sauce and garnished with broccoli florets. If you've had Peking style beef or Chinese style beef, then try the pork version for a similarly tasty, but lighter protein. The only dish that actually disappointed was the crab asparagus soup; while I enjoyed the amount egg in it, the crab was hardly noticeable, and I thought the use of white asparagus boring. I tend to look forward to the splashes of green in this soup, but Lucky City's version was monochrome white. Staff was nice, friendly and attentive. Restaurant space was clean, with plenty of elbow room for large parties. There's a flat screen on one wall hosting Chinese language variety shows. One big plus, they take plastic. If I venture out here again, I'd definitely like to explore more dishes on their wall menu. read more

Haven't tried many things on this vast menu, but my favorite so far has been the crispy noodles with pork. With a cold beer it goes down great. Ask for Eric. read more

This would have been a four star review, except for the fact that they told us we didn't need a reservation and then when we showed up, they told us we needed one. My dad called yesterday (Christmas Eve) and asked if they would be open today (Christmas) and if we needed a reservation, we were told we didn't need one. When we arrived, they told us that they were booked full, the only reason we were given a seat is bc we promised we'd be done by 7:30... We ordered a set course meal, and the food was pretty good. But I really don't get all the chicken dishes... duck was listed and not given... so that was poo! Service was worse than normal bc they were rushing us... But other than that, the food was pretty good! read more

My family has been going at least once a month for the same delicious Cantonese dishes. Usually we order BBQ pork, roast duck, crispy noodles, and stir fried beef flat noodles. The duck is not fatty. The roast pork is a hit or miss sometimes as you might get some dry parts. I always get my comfort food favorite, the fresh shrimp wonton soup. I am Cantonese myself so I am familiar with the food. The food is not excessively salty or heavy. We have been to Lucky City about 10 times and so far every visit yield consistent, hot, freshly prepared food. Last time we tried the Szechuan pork and eggplant which was tasty. The sauce is never overpowering, I think they have things right. The crispy fried shrimp has a good flavor also. For dessert you get complimentary sweet tapioca and taro porridge. The value for the food is good, for 6 of us the bill only came out to $55 for 5 dishes. The service was friendly and down to earth. I am not a fussy client anyway. Go and enjoy some comfort food! read more

Ok, this place is an decent restaurant and I might be back. There are some problems and some awesome stuff. Weird stuff:0 stars This place is weird and good. They have a weird smell to the room.(And stinky!!!!!But you'll get used to it.) They also have weird shirts. They say:"Have a rice day!" Just WEIRD! Service:3 stars The service are pretty good but they look pretty lazy. We came here about 6:00pm and were pretty filled up. WARNING: THE FLOOR WAS SUPERB SLIPPERY!!!!!!! Food:4 stars The food was good and the food came fast. Duck was ok and the BQQ meat was awesome. We ordered some decent food and most of them were pretty yummy! Overall:2 1/2 stars: I think that Lucky City was lucky again. I'll rate this restaurant 3 stars. I will also recommend this place. read more

Lucky City - Walnut Shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

Liked it the first time when I went for lunch. For at lunch was good, well priced classic Taiwanese. Unfortunately it was a MAJOR disappointment when I took a group of 4 for dinner. SLOW SLOPPY SERVICE from start to finish. We waited forever to place our order in a restaurant with only 3 other tables and at least 3 waitresses, one of whom appears to be the boss. Our food was served in separate installments over a 55 minute period. Our rice only arrived as we were leaving despite our inquiries twice beginning at the 39 minute mark. It was obvious the staff were more interested in chatting than servicing customers. Won't be back and encourage others to choose from any if the hundreds of great other Asian options too. read more
