I had lunch there a few weeks ago. The restaurant was not very clean, and the portions were HUGE, inexpensive but the food was a bit below average. If you want a lot of food and quick this will work. read more

I order a #5 with sweet & sour Pork and got breaded pork not the sweet and sour Pork I had in the past in any other restaurant. The manager said "you needed to specify not breaded". It was gummy with a sweet sauce and no vegetable. The rice was cool and the Lemon Chicken was cut in to large pieces and the sauces was weak at best. We overheard an other customer complain as well. Not good eats. read more

Inconsistent. We live nearby so we used to get take-out from here a lot (the restaurant itself is just okay, so we prefer to eat at home). Anyway, it used to be really good and consistent but lately it's been bad. The chicken is tough, the fried rice is all peas and carrots, the eggrolls are greasy and lack flavor. This place used to be great so it's a real disappointment. What happened, Lucky Dragon? Did you run out of luck? read more

Not great...we read all the reviews and tried it anyway. The waitress was short and abrupt. She hurried us along to order. Food came extremely quickly. Got an order, #8 good size portion. Bland taste....it was edible. Taste especially with the amazing reviews not there. Panda Express has better tasting food...... I think for a tiny town its decent. But it's just not good food. read more

Best Teriyaki Chicken! The Curry chicken and Fried Pork Lo Mein is absolutely delicious! This is a must eat at restaurant! I have nothing negative to say! Everything we have ate there is just fantastic! read more

Ended up eating here on Monday since I had to meet my bf in Kalama to pick up my work badge that I left at his place over he weekend. It was dinner time and the choices according to yelp was this place or a Mexican place. I obviously chose Chinese. We ordered a bowl of hot and sour soup, cream cheese wontons, and Kung pao 3 ways. Everything tastes pretty mediocre a. Nothing special really. In hindsight, we were probably better off getting just Kung pao chicken. The Kung pao 3 ways came with beef, shrimp, and scallops: none of which we were particularly fond of. Don't think we'll be back ever. read more

Used to be great. We ordered for 6 and barely fed 3. Very sudden plummet from a year ago.

Satisfying dinner for our family of four! While we had read the reviews about the larger than normal large portions we still way over ordered, but how can you not when you want to try more than one dish. We started off with Hot n Sour soup which was some of the best we've had any where, then potstickers that were just good, and finally two GIANT egg rolls that seemed hand made and were just fabulous with shrimp in them. We took the advice we read to order the Black Mushroom Beef and Walnut Prawns and they were as good as we had heard. And our final selection was Vegetable Chow Fun with no sauce, this too was delicious and balanced out our other choices very well. We are two adults with big appetites and two younger boys with big appetites, we filled up and have one more meal for all of us left over. Yummy leftovers! The service was nice and friendly and not fast but not ignoring us either. The only negative I can say is the bathrooms were not as clean as I would like but not the worst I've seen. We travel regularly between Portland and Seattle and we will definitely eat there again! read more

Very good food with lots of flavor and the interior is well kept. They really skimp on portions when you order delivery. You get a much better deal if you dine in. My current favorite there is the pork chow mein. I'm not a big fan of pork but I wanted the protein. I loved it and will order it again. I'm not a fan of the fried rice but my husband loves it. The sauce for the sweet and sour chicken is very good, but they put too much breading on it and the fried shrimp too imo. Their almond chicken sub gum is very good as well. Its a solid place for American Chinese food and we will be regulars here. I just have to remember to dine in and not order to go. read more

Stopped here for a late Sunday lunch on the way to Mt. St. Helens and was amazed at the quality of the food. Portions were huge - 10 wontons on a Crab Puff order for appetizer! so come hungry or be prepared to take some home. It's definitely Americanized Chinese food (supersized! not too spicy!) but I grew up with something similar being cooked by my mom so it was tasty - and if I honestly wanted super-authentic, I'd go to the International District in Seattle, but I was on the road and this was yummy, filling, and fit the 'tastes like Chinese to me' bill. Tempura batter on chicken was crisp but thick, the chow mein had crisp celery and carrots (the way you're supposed to stir fry veggies), the service was super quick, and the fortune cookies were sweet, not dry. Definitely will be back here if I'm ever that way again! read more

Called restaurant Sunday to make sure they were open. Asked what time lunch menu went to. Was told by man it went till 3:30, we all heard this on speakerphone. Got to restaurant by 3:00, when ordering at about 3:05+-, was told lunch was over. Explained to Asst Mgr about phone call. He argued said it ended at 3:00. We were only just past and we said since we were told 3:30, he should honor it. He refused and walked away saying he was done with us. Extremely bad customer service!! It was principal, not cost of meal that bothered us. He came back at least 3-4 times, if he thought he was going to get a tip, he was badly mistaken we asked 3-4 times for tea, then he brought one meal, waited on other customers and then brought other 3 meals. Food was good and generous. Customer service by Asst Mgr was very unsatisfactory! as 4 of us left he said to come back, I said not likely!! Such a shame when he could have had 4 happy customers returning again. read more

What a find! We live in Pacific County and this is the closest excellent Chinese food! Delicious fresh food, generous helpings, gracious service. For this quality Chinese food you'd need to go to Portland or Seattle. read more

This is one of my family's favorite spots. It is a little bit of a drive but worth it. They have great prices and portion sizes. I have never had something here I don't like. Our family usually orders several things and shares them and we always have leftovers read more

This place is fantastic! Lots of Chinese restaurants have big portions but this place goes way above and beyond. There are leftovers for al least another mea if not two. That's awesome because the food is good! The General Taos chicken is different than any I have ever had! The crust is so crispy whole holding the perfect amount of sauce. Our family loves it. The fried rice has huge chunks of meat and can definitely stand on its own as a meal. The pot stickers are large and burst with flavor. Please stop and visit this great restaurant. We drive the 20 miles from Vancouver just for the food! read more

Today was a miss... Still gets 2 stars for good flavor and value, but everything was disgustingly greasy. The amazing egg roll was in a pool of oil. When I asked for a different one I quickly got a new freshly made one... But it was all gooey and gross inside. What a difference a few days makes. I can only blame the cook. So this place may be fabulous or a total fail depending on who cooks that day. read more

Had their Chicken Fried Rice and their Mongolian Beef. Highly recommended. Check it out while driving through town. read more

Lucky Dragon - Chinese Near Me - Kalama, Washington

Excellent food but service isn't great. As others have said they don't go out of their way to ask how things are or if you need anything, that is the reason for 4 out of 5 stars. read more

Great Chinese food is hard to find anywhere, so I was pleasantly surprised that this restaurant was as good as it was in a little town. Usually you can find great food only in major cities. The food was superb. I ordered a veggie dish. The veggies were not over cooked and the dish had many different kinds of veggies, not just 1 or 2. Our waiter was Gen, I believe. He was very courteous and accommodating. Thanks. Will be back. read more

Lucky Dragon - Tofu veggie dish with rice was amazing. - Chinese Near Me - Kalama, Washington

The best food ever and rudest service! Lol it's worth it! The walnut shrimp is delicious and crab puffs um

Best Chinese food in Cowlitz County. This place is almost always packed. Best pork fried rice around. I love their #7 Combination Dinner - fried rice, almond fried chicken, bbq pork and fried shrimp. I always ask to substitute mar far chicken for the shrimp. So good. Nice sized portions with plenty of leftovers. Or, if we order to go, we get one meal and there's plenty for two people to share. read more

We came for lunch. Hot and sour soup was delish. One of our group of three got his entree first, ours took many minutes, like 5 or more to arrive. BOO And, we were the first party in the place when it opened, yet other tables were receiving their food before us. BOO BOO The other food arrived. HUGE portions. Like, wow! I requested 5 hotness, but there was little heat in my meal. I got sesame beef. I should have opted for 7 or so so there was some heat. Despite that, flavor was good. A bit on the sweet side. I would definetly go back and have already recommended this place. Interior in clean and service is friendly. Hidden jewel, with a few tweeks. read more

Went here a couple days ago to celebrate a family birthday. The food is quite good (maybe not the very best in existence, but much better than many other Chinese restaurants I've visited in SW Washington). However, we didn't receive the best service. There were no traumatic experiences or anything, but rather a general sense of inattention to what the customers wanted. It also felt a bit like the servers helping us were totally lost. I completely understand that if they were new servers (I don't know if they were) there is a learning period, but it really seemed like *every single* person we interacted with was completely clueless. Communication was fairly poor, and we felt like we were being rushed more than once since we were constantly bombarded with someone trying to take plates away. Obviously keeping the table clear is nice, but we don't need to be asked every two minutes either. I would really like to visit this restaurant again, as I felt their food was very affordable and better than nearby competition. Just work on some of the service issues and it could really be one of those small town hidden gems people love to find. read more

Best Chinese place anywhere around . Even all the way in Beaverton doesn't come close , the portions are huge and hit and perfectly seasoned . Loved the white sauce. I got triple delight and was amazed by how many shrimp and scallops there were - and the scallops were HUGE and perfectly cooked . I am so going back here again ! read more

Lucky Dragon - Curry chicken . Very good - Chinese Near Me - Kalama, Washington

I have frequented this restaurant for years & I've reached a point that despite being a local business which I always try to support I'm no longer going to be giving them my business. About 3-6 months before Covid started peaking its nasty little head in there was a change in business dealings & I honestly don't know if that was a different chef but the food during the day shift became so bad for certain dishes that multiple people in my family & friend circle stopped going when they had previously gone every Sun afternoon, I'm talking at least 15 people I know of plus others they are friends with. About a year ago I picked up my favorite dish which is Singapore chowmein & it was so bland that I ended up mixing my own curry for it but the noodles were so overcooked it was a Styrofoam dish of slop by the time it was stirred in. I had already noticed a crazy jump in prices so I decided I was not going to order for a while. 6 months ago I called down & placed an order for snow pea beef & upon getting my order home immediately called to tell them they had made me mixed vegetable beef. They asked me to come back down & they'd replace the order, which they replaced with the same exact thing. I told the women that what they were doing was charging an astronomical price & using cheap filler vegetables & a few extra snow peas which was absolutely not ok. She responded that it wasn't technically mixed vegetables because it didn't have red pepper. Missing 1 vegetable that you're honestly lucky to get 2 or 3 chunks of in a mixed vegetable order was the excuse I was given. I did do some looking around at other restaurants in the area & even called & they all told me that their snow pea beef is only snow peas & beef with one exception who is kind enough to put several whole pieces of baby corn on the top of your order but nothing else is mixed in. Tonight my son was really wanting Chinese food so I said we'd give them one more chance. I ordered Singapore noodles, pork LoMein & crab puffs. Now when their prices began to rise this cost around $36 which is pretty steep in my book considering the quality of food but tonight it was a few cents shy of FIFTY DOLLARS. Just to be clear, the crab puffs are imitation & there are absolutely no special ingredients aside from the $4 extra I paid to add snow peas & chicken to the Singapore noodles. When we got home I opened the Singapore noodles to find yet again a pile of overcooked almost stark white noodles. When I called I told the nice woman who answered the issue & when she kindly offered to ask what they could do screaming erupted in the background. She said there's no sauce so I told her yes I know it's curry & I'm aware of how it's made & it should be a beautiful golden yellow color because everything is cooked in the oil & curry mixture in one pot. I then said all I want is to come down & be given a side & I'll show you what the noodles look like. I even pulled up a picture for reference. Once I arrived the nice girl even asked if I wanted to try the curry oil that had been prepared for me but I said I could tell by the color it was perfect. I then showed her the picture, which I've included below, next to a ref picture. She was immediately clear on the issue & said ooooooh I'm sorry I don't know why they gave it to you like that. I understand restaurants need to make money but there is no reason the prices should be that high, they do not offer delivery & the food is just not very good. The only positive is the crab puffs are good but I'm pretty sure they come prepared & frozen so all they have to do is drop them in the hot oil. read more

Lucky Dragon - Singapore noodles. - Chinese Near Me - Kalama, Washington

Huge portions for your money, parking is tough in downtown Kalama, but you can always just park around the corner. Great food however I ordered the spicy General Too and it definitely wasn't spicy, I think they cater their spice index a little more for the old lady's than the general public. That was definitely a mild dish. Got to take away a star for that! Service was friendly, and it was 28 bucks for two full meals with soup. Come here if you want good food! read more

A disappointing meal. There servers are polite and nice. However, over the past 10 years the food quality has steadily declined at Lucky Dragons. The last few years it has gotten worse and worse. I was in the mood for Chinese and thought I would give it one more try. It had been about 12 months since the last attempt. Unidentifiable, overly processed chicken and shrimp. Everything heavily fried. Egg roll stuffed with bland, over cooked vegetables. I used to live in Asia. I have learned to tolerate American style Chinese food. Somehow it has gotten worse since my last visit. I will not be returning. read more

I have eaten here numerous times now. The food has been very good but they do seem to have some consistency issues. So it is hit and miss on whether your meal will be exceptional or mediocre. The service has generally been good. read more

Food is always very good and servings are extremely large, we make the 40-minute round trip drive from Battle Ground for their food as it's the best in the area also they are still serving food to go during the Covid 19 outbreak that is fresh, hot and delicious. read more

I always eat with my family next door at the Mexican restaurant. I suggested we had Chinese food for my birthday instead. Biggest mistake EVER. Some of the food was like reheated from day before and really poor quality. They skimp on the sauces and sesame seeds. don't want to give much away to their paying customers. Typical Chinese restaurant. You could taste the poor quality in the foods. Greasy and left most of the party feeling ill the next day. Do not eat here. read more

Hands down the freshest and tastiest Chinese food I have ever had!! We ordered their Egg Foo Young and it is a favorite of mine a the fresh ingredients make a huge difference! My husband doesn't like crab puffs but will eat theirs. They are excellent. His staple is beef and black bean, which I don't typically like but I love theirs! We decided to try their House Lo Mein too- incredible! They use thin noodles rather than the thicker spaghetti style that most places use. read more

A couple of people in nearby Longview recommended Lucky Dragon in Kalama to us. We had house guests and decided to try it for dinner. It's a casual restaurant, minimal decor, parking was good. The food was tasty, the portions were large, and the service was adequate. But I'm leaving only two stars because shortly after our meals were delivered to our table, one of the staff began vacuuming the dining area with a vac so noisy that we couldn't talk to each other! We were expecting to have to lift our feet, she was vacuuming so aggressively, but she stopped when she finished the other side of the room. The quietness was a relief. But when another staff member resumed vacuuming we packed up our food, paid and left. We felt that they wanted us to leave. True, we arrived for dinner at 8pm but their posted closing time was 9:30pm, and there were other diners still eating when we left a little before 9. They offer take-out, that would have been a better choice. read more

Delicious! Quick service. Huge potions. Only a 4 star because the staff isnt the friendlist. They arent rude but not friendly either lol

Food is great, portions large. Service doesn't match. Waited more than 10 additional minutes for my food, others at my table had been served. Poor customer service, no apology or explanation. We then waited for our check, and then to have our credit card run. More lousy service and a rude attitude from the server. read more

This is the second time we've eaten here. The 1st time was with a group of 14 people including children and then yesterday we went with our family of 4. Both times the service was prompt and the food was excellent. We ordered hot and sour soup, orange chicken, cashew chicken, vegetable chow main, vegetable egg foo Yung & kung pow tofu (extra spicy). We covered a variety of dishes except beef and seafood. We requested that the orange chicken be brought out with the soup so our children could enjoy their order while we had our appetizer. Our server said he would try but could not guarantee that. Within minutes and along with the soup, our children were happily eating their favorite Chinese meal, Orange chicken! First of all, I would like to say that I am kind of a hot and sour soup snob. So far I have been delighted both times with Lucky Dragon's! Very delicious! All of our orders were exceptional and arrived to our table steaming hot. If I had one negative comment, it would be that I don't care for Lucky Dragon's soy sauce. Otherwise they earned the 5 rating easily. If you live in the Kalama area or if you're just traveling along I5 North or South bound this is a wonderful little gem if you love Chinese food! read more

Five stars isn't even enough!! They deserve about 7 or 10! I love this place! They're food is delicious. The meals are so big, you have left overs for days! The staff is very efficient and friendly. The food is served quickly and shocks out with the amount they put in front of you! Hands down, best food in kalama read more

Great, tasty, large portions, friendly. Easy off and on I 5 highway. Drove from 40miles and then another 40 to take to friends in Castle Rock to share a great dinner. The smell in the car about drove mean crazy- so good. Still only take out but it is worth the drive. Thanks for being there. See you soon again. read more

Best Chinese in the area. Service is great and quite fast. Be careful with the steamy hot food.

Worth the drive from Vancouver, no question! The portions are HUGE; the prices are not. I've even picked up take-out when driving south from Seattle, I appreciate this place so much! You're not going to get fine dining service (nor should you expect to here!) -- instead, you are going to get hot, fast, delicious Chinese food. I always recommend going family style with Option B and letting each person choose one of the entrees... with the add-ons (soup, appetizers, etc.) that come with the option, it's the best deal and you get a sampling of a host of things from the menu. read more
