WARNING: when getting food ask for rice. We were very sad :( I got the chicken w/ garlic sauce. Not very yummy. Maybe the rice would have helped. We also got the sesame tofu, that was delicious. And that's on period. We really wanted rice :( read more

Lucky Corner - No rice :( - Taiwanese Near Me - Troy, New York

Run down take out with typical Chinese American dishes as well as some authentic Taiwanese dishes. As a Chinese American I must say that the Taiwanese dishes are indeed authentic and very tasty. I was also nicely surprised by the pork belly gua bao, which is a generous slice of marinated pork belly and veggies and special sauce on a little steamed bun. We're keeping the menu for the next time we're in town. read more

Got dinner with our friends here so we could enjoy it at the park. All the options on the menu looked delicious and there is even candy to enjoy while you skim through. I got the salt and pepper popcorn chicken with taro bubble tea. My fiancé got the fried chicken cutlet over rice plate and our friends tried the omurice and a hot&sour noodle soup. For dessert, we tried the tea and tofu dessert (not sure if it's for me, but I enjoyed the plain tofu pudding and bubbles with syrup over the one with ginger). The service was fast to take our order and since it is made fresh, we have to wait about 20 minutes. It's a casual, fast spot perfect for a quick meal and would definitely go more if I lived in the area. read more

Lucky Corner reigns supreme and no other place in the same category even comes close in the Capital Region. What do we love about it? First and foremost, consistency. In the almost five years we've been coming here, the food here has been incredibly consistent, which means they have the best, most delicious braised mixed pork. No other place, including ones in North Carolina, DC, Georgia, and elsewhere in NYS, has matched the juicy minced pork, refreshingly sweet and savory greens, and the tender marinated soft boiled egg. The owner has always been quick and efficient yet friendly and courteous, and... did I mention he makes an amazing cream of corn soup as well? Other food highlights at Lucky Corner include the curry chicken with rice and gua bao. Prices have gradually crept up over time just like at other foods joints, and Lucky Corner still offers impressive value. I kinda wish the dining room reopened, but as of early November 2025, it's still not open. Last but not last, Lucky Corner gets extra love from me for being a local business. Long live Lucky Corner. read more

Food is great! Pork fried rice is the best around and loaded with pork! Eggrolls are fresh and delicious!

Very friendly staff and incredibly affordable. The Bao Buns are sandwiches for 6.50 and are great. The General Tso Chicken is sweet and spicy served with fresh rice and broccoli. If you're looking for good food on a budget, this place is an easy pick. read more

Best Chinese food around! 10/10! Get it weekly! Highly recommend the general chicken and Singapore noodles! read more

Lucky Corner - General Tso's Chicken Singapore noodles Garlic broccoli Spring Pork Egg Roll Ees - Taiwanese Near Me - Troy, New York

Legit Taiwanese place that is currently carry-out only. When you come, do try the items on the "Taiwanese Style" section on the menu - fried roasted pork (as an appetizer or over rice), sautéed cabbage, curry chicken over rice. Several items on the Taiwanese style section reminded me of the corner eatery near my childhood home in Taipei. read more

Lucky Corner - Braised Minced Pork Noodle, Crispy Fried Roast Pork, Sautéed Cabbage - Taiwanese Near Me - Troy, New York

Solid Taiwanese food. I love trying all the house specialties. They are a bit different than the standard Chinese fare at most places.

Best place ever. We lived across the street for 5 years and ate there sometimes 1-3 times in a week. I can't think of a single time it wasn't good. So consistent, so reasonably priced, so awesome. We ate almost everything on the menu, even the stuff you would't normally think to order- was awesome. Also can I say, maybe the best bubble tea I have ever had. They don't have crazy flavors but what they have is Good. I wish they would make shirts. I wish they would make keychains. I have never yelp reviewed another place before, because none of them impressed me like this. Lucky Corner please never go away!!! read more

Seriously the best noodles I have ever had. 12 out of 10 stars on everything from the steamed rice and broccoli to the kung pao lo mein and general Tso chicken. It also didn't take long at all when we simply walked in one evening and ordered to take home. The man working the front was beyond kind and the whole place was clean and organized. We will definitely be ordering again. Still can't get over how delicious the noodles were. A must order if in Troy. read more

Hands down the best value restaurant in the area. Great food, great delivery deal, and great people running it! Kept me fed and happy through my college years. read more

Came here for lunch take-out on a recent Friday. I would never write a review unless I felt strongly about it. I have always loved this place. The owner is very friendly, and it seems clean. Sorry, moo Shu Chicken was absolutely tasteless and the Egg Drop Soup had an odd taste that I can't explain. Could not eat either. As a Troy resident and enthusiast, I Will never give up on this place. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. All of the wonderful reviews will bring me back. read more

Chinese takeout can be a hit or miss situation. While in Troy, we decided to try the Lucky Corner and the luck was with us. I ordered the Hunan Shrimp hoping for a little spice. Yes, it was spicy as you can only hope for. It had the aforementioned shrimp along with broccoli, baby corn, carrots and mushrooms. Mushrooms were carmelized to have that nice earthy flavor. For those who are faint of heart with heat, you may want to ask for less hot peppers or order something more tame. Personally, it was delish! SO had the pork chop over rice, one of the "specialities." Not being a pork chop fan, I went the traditional route. (I did try a slice of his chop and would give it a positive vote since it was not my mother's dried out pork chop.) Since this was a terrific meal, yes, I'll be putting this on our list of places to visit more often. Parking is on the street. Wasn't bad getting a spot tonight. Also bring cash as cards do not seem to be taken. No seating available as yet due to social distancing / covid-19. read more

Authentic Taiwanese cuisine, enjoyable experience here. It's never easy to find a proper Taiwanese restaurant that serves the real Taiwanese flavor. It's exactly the hometown taste here in Troy and every dish we ordered was yummy. Definitely a go to pl read more

A colleague recommended for us to try this place for takeout but we were not impressed. We gave it two chances, but we only chose menu items from our "standard" Chinese takeout order, so maybe that's on us for not going with something they specialize in. Maybe the taiwanese items are good. General Tso's chicken was okay but the chicken was dry. Beef lo mein didn't have much in the way of flavor or meat or veg - pretty much just noodles in a very thin coat of sauce. Staff was friendly enough during pickup - not much to comment on. I guess we're just not likely to return. read more

Lucky Corner is right. The citizens of Troy who get this corner Taiwanese comfort food spot in their neighborhood are the lucky ones. On my first visit, I got a giant bowl full of soup, and that was all fine and good. But on my second trip, the fried chicken cutlet over rice had risen the ranks of Yelp as the dish to get. Even though it was definitely soup weather, I had to try the local favorite. But it wasn't easy, since there were so many other Taiwanese specialties I wanted to try. Man, that chicken cutlet plate was delicious. That said, I might not get it again. it's just a ton of food. And for about half the price, you can get a bowl of the minced pork over rice, which is pretty much the same thing but without the chicken. Plus, by getting a smaller dish, I might have room for one of the tempting appetizers or the tofu pudding dessert. Tofu pudding is one of my favorites, and it's been a long time since I've had it. I am curious to taste how this Troy version stacks up with those I've enjoyed in the past. read more

Love the authentic taste of their Taiwanese dishes. We always make a stop here when visiting.

Best and cheapest boba in troy!! They also have great food (the wait might be a bit, but it's worth it). Be prepared to take out because there is no seating inside! Seriously, go here if you want good boba. read more

Honestly can't recommend enough. The food is awesome, the portions are perfect (leftovers are great!), and the price is super reasonable. :)

This place is AWESOME. We have been there twice now and we have never been dissapointed. I love their fried chicken cutlet over rice. My husband ordered their chicken noodle soup with udon noodles and the perfect poached egg. It was perfect, especially during a cold frigid evening. We love their Taiwanese styled fried green-beans. One new item I tried was their tofu pudding in a ginger broth with bubble drink. It was ever so lightly sweetened with a lovely ginger flavor and delicate tofu peices. Perfect. The people who own this place are also very kind, respectful, down to earth people. Their food is like no other in the Troy/Albany area. read more

I may have rated lucky corner in the past but I went there tonight and it was pretty lousy. I was distracted by the dining room furniture all piled together and covered with plastic. It looked closed. I didn't even notice the 5+ signs on the door that said to wear a mask or don't come in. I dont have masks on me anymore. By the look of the place you'd think the plague is spreading. Needless to say the person at the counter wasn't overly friendly when I walked in without a mask - again I didn't even notice the mask signs because it looked closed. Anyway. The food was not nearly as good as it used to be. Kind of flavorless. Lo mein was bland. Dumplings had little filling. Barely any meat in them and even the dumpling sauce was bland. When I went back to pick it up I noticed the signs about masks so I went to dig one out of my car. The neighborhood is also not great at night. I think it was my last trip there. read more

Stumbled upon this place on a New England road trip. The place is super tiny with very limited seating. You order up front and they bring the food to you. Service isn't super friendly, but I think it's because the place gets busy and is run by a husband/wife team? Onto the food. In short, it was delicious home comfort food. I liked it so much I came back the next day for lunch right when it opened (they were friendlier this time). We ordered steamed dumplings, braised minced pork over rice (my absolute favorite), pot noodle soup, and fried roast pork over rice. Everything was delicious and pretty cheap too. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the hood read more

Clean environment, friendly people and good food. I would definitely recommend it. The orange chicken and sesame tofu are delicious.

Wish I found this place years ago! Wonderful authentic Taiwanese cuisine and I'm already thinking what I should be getting for tomorrow. For those who want to try some real Taiwanese cuisine, this is definitely the place to come. Especially the speciality dishes, those taste like home! Not a fan for the bubble tea tho, I'm not a fan for powder made drinks. read more

As a fellow traveler who has had the luxury to settle down near Lucky Corner, I have to say that it offers one of the best Chinese/Taiwanese food in town. It is true, as other reviews might say, that the taste might differ from time to time, but that shows authenticity and natural taste, because ingredients are not harmful nor cheaply horrendous in our bodies. I can tell their soup does not offer a wretched amount of MSG. The flavors pop in ways that are not from chemicals. And their boba tea doesn't come prepackaged with 10 different types of food coloring and 60 grams of sugar. Yes, the taste might differ from time to time but as does one's own cooking when they're not mechanically prepackaged. Every single time I go here, I am never disappointed. The people who own this are kind, respectful, and they make sure to record any unique details of the order and associate it with your phone number in case you order it again! (which is definitely helpful when you're vegetarian) read more

Love this place! I had hot boba milk tea made from real tea, not that powdered bs. The fact that it was snowing made it ten times better. Also, my favorite classic Taiwanese dish: minced pork over rice. Flavorful, no fat at all. Just the way I like it. Owners are super nice, definitely stop by if you're missing home or want to try Taiwanese food. read more

Lucky Corner - Minced pork over rice. - Taiwanese Near Me - Troy, New York

Best Chinese food I've ever had and great, quick service and cheap prices. Can't go wrong ordering classic takeout items such as general tso chicken or fried rice. The authentic taiwanese food such as Minced pork over rice is also very tasty read more

Let me tell you about this place. After 2 years of living here in the Capitol District, I have finally found a place that serves great Taiwanese cuisine. It's a small little restaurant with a handful of tables for those who want to sit in, but I am told it's mainly take-out. I came here with a friend who recommended the classic Beef Noodle Soup. Served in a large bowl with a good amount of noodles and delicious tender beef, the soup definitely hit the spot and I finished the entire bowl without a drop of soup remaining. I also got the taiwanese salt+pepper fried chicken, which tasted AMAZING. Pieces of dark meat chicken deep fried and seasoned with aromatic spices in the perfect combination. Every bite was a taste of heaven. I was so excited by the two dishes I tried, I ordered the braised minced pork over rice and another salt+pepper fried chicken to-go. I was going to save it for lunch the next day, but ended up finishing it all that night. The braised minced pork over rice is served with minced pork, an egg, pickled cabbage, and a yellow radish. This eaten alongside the fried chicken is one of my top-5 food combinations. I wasn't even hungry anymore and I finished it all. Since they opened, they have expanded their menu to include familiar american chinese take-out dishes (i.e. general tso's chicken, orange chicken, beef and broccoli, lo mein, etc.) to cater to area, but I would highly recommend any of their taiwanese specialties. The price for some of these specialty dishes may be slightly higher than the typical chinese take-out place, which is probably driving away the general public, but let me tell you... the price difference is a difference you can taste. 5 Stars. Highly Recommended. I will be ordering from here again. Check this spot out. You will not be disappointed. Update: I went again two days later to try the stewed pork over rice (Taiwanese style). Although I still prefer the minced pork over rice, the stewed beef is another worthy option. Jeff read more

Lucky Corner - Stewed Pork over Rice (Taiwanese Style) - Taiwanese Near Me - Troy, New York

This is pretty far from me since I don't own a car and reside in my Hobbit hole of Albany, but I really love this sweet little corner. I originally came here after a wonderful supper at The Brown Bag, and I was pleasantly surprised by the authentic and diverse drinks offered there. Unfortunately, I have yet to have their food, but their drinks are quite good (from the two times I have had the pleasure of having). I got the Citrus aiyu kumquat tea both times, and it's definitely a treat to get on a hot summer day! They make the tea delightfully sweet but not so much that it's sickening. The aiyu are pretty well made, and it adds a tangy zest to the texture. The staff are pretty friendly, and they were pretty responsive to me making personalizations to my order (i.e. half sugar, less ice, etc). I believe they do delivery, so it's a wonderful for peeps who live nearby. They also have a bowl of yummy Lychi candies, so make sure to grab a few as a desert later on! read more

Lucky Corner advertises itself as a (take-out restaurant) and as far as restaurants dedicated to take-out go, Lucky Corner is a great place. The menu is relatively small but focused, with a page for Taiwanese and American-Chinese classics, and a page for Teas, Bubble-Teas, and soda. Prices are on the low side ranging from $2.50 for a pint of Hot Sour Soup to $10.75 for Chef's Specialty General Tso's Chicken. There are no combos or lunch specials. I ordered a Milk Bubble-Tea and Beef Noodle Soup. It was ready in under 10 minutes. The Bubble-Tea was served in authentic Taiwanese style with a seal over the lid which you break with a straw. The the Beef Noodle Soup came in a large bowl, tasted great, and was filling. I opted to actually eat at the restaurant. I ate in what is clearly designed to be more of a waiting area than actual dining area. It only had 1 table, and a bar with chairs along one of the walls, but a lot of floor space, apparently for people to stand in. It was nothing special, but was clean and in good repair. Overall, if whether you're in the mood for Taiwanese food, or looking for a quick, efficient, and tasty place to get Chinese takeout I highly suggest Lucky Corner. However, if you're looking for a nice restaurant to sit-down and eat with your friends at, I suggest looking elsewhere. read more

The most authentic Taiwanese food in Troy, possibly the best in the capital region. The restaurant is small but cozy, good for a group of 4 or less, but seems to be mainly a take out joint.

Lucky Corner - Pork and pickled cabbage soup - Taiwanese Near Me - Troy, New York

Overall, this place doesn't take the top spot on my list but they are definitely worth a visit. This is a pretty decent place and the prices are good. It's nice to have a good take out place here in Troy. I ordered take out and got the salt and pepper chicken, steamed dumplings, and braised minced pork over rice. The chicken was my favorite, very well seasoned. The dough for the dumplings was very thick which is not my preference, however, that did not detract from the flavor, plus for around $5 you get 8 and they're extremely filling. The braised pork and rice was good but not quite as mind blowing as other reviewers have noted. Shop was very clean and the staff was friendly. Next time I plan on trying the bubble tea and look forward to trying their other specials. read more

We love Lucky Corner! I used to live right next door and my boyfriend and I would order from here all the time. I live further away now but we still make the drive for their delicious food. He loves the bubble tea and the braised minced pork over rice. I don't eat meat, so I usually go for a tofu option. Love the sesame and general tso's tofu! We always get the vegetable egg rolls and the string beans too. Whatever you get from here you won't go wrong read more

So hubby and I had dinner in Troy and all of a sudden I decided I wanted some bubble tea, so went to my trusty Yelp to see what my nearby choices were. I ended up at Lucky Corner. Parking was difficult to find and hubby just waited while I ran inside because we couldnt find anything nearby. Now, the restaurant is small and it was busy. Only one party was seated but several people were waiting for take out. A gentleman took my order as soon as I arrived but it did take longer than normal to prepare the bubble tea as he was assembling food orders and making the bubble tea for several people waiting. Now, onto the tea...holy cow. We had the passion fruit green tea with Boba and I can honestly say this was one of the better bubble teas I've had (except in NYC and Philly Chinatowns) and for the Albany area, it probably doesn't get any better. We were pretty impressed and will be back to explore the food menu. If nothing else, it is our standard Boba tea spot going forward. read more
