First of all I want to say this place is very good the food tastes awsome and the staff is very friendly

I don't really know about this place, it's a bit sketchy. The orange chicken seems to be the favorite, but it was SO chewy, that litterally my jaw was SORE. Deep fried to the point that the chicken inside was like thin beef jerky. I don't really want a jaw workout. The ladies that work there seem to not be happy to be working there and lack that normal Customer Service you'd expect lol. read more

This place has fantastic chinese fast food! Ordered from the overhead menu. Orange chicken, spicy chicken, mushroom chicken, beef broccoli, egg flower soup, rice and noodles.

Been coming to this place for over 10 years easily . This is by far the best Chinese food in Long Beach . Their orange chicken is forsure the best hands down . Some times there is a few inconsistent pieces but the flavor and hint of spice from the chili they put in definitely makes up for it . I personally ask for the orange chicken sauce on my chow mein that's the way to go . Love this place the workers even eventually recognize me I will drive all the way across town to come eat this fire Chinese food . No place is perfect I've read about people talking about their orange chicken but I'll tell you it doesn't get any better than this ! read more

This is my go-to spot! I love that they have a buy 3 get 1 free deal! You can also call ahead to order a tray of food for the same day if needed. Prices are reasonable. read more

The food is always fresh! I'm pretty picky about orange chicken because it tends to get mushy and here it's ordered so often they hardly have it on hand or mushy. It's crispy but not burnt! Service is great, give good portions and with a smile. Ambiance is chill it's a fast food Chinese restaurant so it's not filled up but very clean and airy ... it's a go to favorite in my family for more than ten years! read more

This was the first time going there, I read the YELP reviews and they were so divided that I decided to just try it and then make my own decision. Yes, the ladies were super nice and the service was fast. But the food was not good at all. The food had no taste whatsoever. I didn't expect much but I didn't expect the food to be so tasteless either so it was a disappointment. When I was paying for the food, the cashier asked me what soda I wanted not realizing that it came with the meal and I said "no thank you", I wish she would have told me that it came with the meal. I didn't realize it until we got home and I looked at the menu. Oh well. . . . read more

Not too impressed ! This is more of a fast food pick up type ovation with mediocre taste . You get some blast noodles, rice is ok and I got orange chicken, beef broccoli and mushroom with chicken. The only thing I liked was the egg roll. I noticed a gentlemen ordered what I got. He was in front of me. He got a full plate of food. When I ordered it was obviously a lot less. Again! Not impressed!!! Last time for me. Food tastes horrible. read more

This was recommended to me my nail salon (nearby) who even brought me a sample of the orange chicken. I went by after manicure. BUT. I didn't order the orange chicken, so, that's totally my bad. I ordered honey walnut skrimp and string bean chicken two combo with lo mein and fried rice. The to go container was STUFFED so full, I could not believe they provided so much food. I ate the honey walnut skrimps but couldn't eat more. I didn't love the noodles or the rice. I probably won't go back - I prefer Golden Phoenix on Paramount. read more

It was my first time here. There not many Chinese food fast food places around. Specially being this good. The service was great, they were fast and friendly. The place was clean. But now let me talk about the food, I dislike when my BBQ pork it's dry, and this one was so yummy and juice with a lot of flavor. The walnut shrimp was amazing too, all the other sides we got were so good. Hope this new review helps since they don't have many new reviews or new pictures. And ignore all those reviews saying it was not like whatever restaurant they know, it's a fast food place! Anyways enjoy. P.S. for sure one of our fav places to eat now. read more

This lady was very rude. She tried to skimp me on my beef and broccoli and when I asked if I could have a little bit more of something else because it wasn't a full serving, she had the audacity to say oh my God in front of my face very rude ended up just having to leave the establishment. You try to help out mom and pop shops but when you get hit with attitude it's hard to spend your money in those places read more

Lucky Express Chinese Cuisine - A bowl with chow mein and fried rice and orange chicken. The bowl was $10 - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is a Chinese takeaway place with a hot food bar. As it's close to home, we get this place fairly often for quick Chinese. It's reasonably fresh, and portions are large. Orange chicken and chow mein are go-tos. This place isn't going to win any awards for quality or atmosphere but the food is solid, very reasonably priced for what you get and good for a quick Americanized Chinese fried food fix. They do have a few tables there but not much ambiance, more utilitarian than anything. It has a slightly cluttered and dated feeling. But the ladies who serve the food are helpful, and the food is good so we will keep coming back, now that our #1 takeaway place (Chinese Combo in Signal Hill) recently closed. read more

The women there are very rude. Slamming the rice cooker because I wanted white rice. The place definitely needs to get cleaned. I was trying to place a big order and the lady's had such bad attitudes. Then when I ask a question they roll their eyes and start talking mess. Won't be going back. Ps didn't get any food. Not after the attitudes. read more

My husband and I go-to for chinese. My favorite is the honey shrimp! Service is always great! I always appreciate the ladies and always clean. read more

There food was good but really hesitant to eat it. When you go up to order the stove and glass oven thingy super dirty!!! Was worried about what back kitchen looks likes. No A or B sign in window just a sign that said no major findings. read more

Great people great service great food. Catered from here because of how great everything is. Ambiance needs work but it's relevant to the food read more

I used to come to this place a lot a few years ago, but for some reason I stopped - I guess I was trying to eat healthy and cook more. Well after a busy day, I was not in the mood to cook. And I also wanted a lot of food. Remembering my last Chinese steam table restaurant experience, I decided to head back here. I got the two item combo with chow mein, orange chicken, and teriyaki chicken (no sauce). The portion was HUGE. So big I could hardly close the box. The combo also comes with an egg roll, drink, or soup. I got an egg roll and it was pretty good. The food itself was also pretty delicious. The chow mein noodles were well seasoned. The orange chicken really satisfied my craving - I was actually thinking about getting Panda but their noodles are so bad that I never go - but this place's orange chicken was very good. I wish they had bigger pieces of chicken though. The teri chicken was also really nicely flavored and had the charred taste I associate with teriyaki. All of that food for $10 is a steal. read more

Most of the food is very delicious and this place isn't too costly. The only complaint I have is their teriyaki chicken is burnt! Every time I've gotten it they burn it, there is more taste of burnt than any chicken flavor. The service is good very friendly people. read more

This place is solid for take out Chinese food. It's independently owned and better than Panda. Plus, the portions are generous. For $8, my two item special will probably be good for 3 servings. I had the bbq pork and the pepper chicken, and both were good. The server was generous with the meat too! It's nearby, convenient, and quick. Plus, the food tasted good. I'll be back the next time I want Chinese take out. read more

On 8/16/2025 , I came in and I ordered 8 regular half and half . Everything was going well until I got the worse service ever ! This lady wearing a stitch shirt started confusing our orders . I repeated to her saying I want white rice and chomai and just brócoli and beef , Purposely walked away and ignored me and gave me the wrong item . On top of this she was rude and disrespectful to me but also to her coworker she told her coworker " go get the other plate " and her coworker asked what does it have in it and she ignored her. She told me to " shut up " . Im never coming back here . read more

Quick and delicious take out. Our son loves the plain chow mein which they make for him without vegetables so we're not picking at the noodles. read more

Still one of the best for food and service compared to the rest. And I have been to quite a few of the rest which are all satisfactory except this Lucky Express keeps me coming back - year after year. read more

I come here all the time when I'm craving Chinese food this is my favorite spot the noodles are so good better than any other places that I have tried recommend!!! They give out a good amount in portions! read more

I was throwing a 13th birthday party for my niece and I did not want to cook. She loves Panda Express orange chicken and beef and broccoli so I mentioned to my daughter let's order from there. She recommended Lucky Express as it would be more cost effective and they have a catering menu! Perfect! I ordered a large tray of beef and broccoli and orange chicken, a half tray of the barbecue pork and a large tray of the chow mein. I made my own steamed rice at home. I had about 45 guests and it was plenty of food! It saved me time and money, and for once I was able to enjoy one of my parties more without having to slave over the stove. I forgot to take pictures, but I can assure you everything looked great . It was packaged nicely, hot and fresh. My guests had no complaints. I would definitely order from their catering menu again. read more

This place is actually really good compared to other Chinese spots I've tried. Their chow mein, rice, and other entrées are consistently delicious. I've tried other places, but I keep coming back because the food here never disappoints. I especially love their chow mein. I think this place deserves at least 4.5 stars read more

The people who serve you the food it is the young ladies that work there are very rude and the sign in the window say buy 2 and get one free that is not ture . That is false advertising they need to fix it. read more

Place is not worth it no more ! Mystery Meat! & noddle are lazy made and the rice dyed with food coloring to make it look like fried rice place used to be good but Panda Express is better and fresh read more

I'm surprised this place has such low reviews. It's a fast food Chinese place, so you have to manage your expectations in terms of quality and service. However, I've been here a few times and the food always tastes good and the customer service is pleasant. Ambiance is not super inviting although I've only been here in the evenings. They have plastic covering along the service counter and the lighting is dim with a few tables. I've never dined in, so it's not a big deal for me. Service is fine. Staff was not overly welcoming or friendly, but they were efficient and I got what I asked for, so can't really complain. Today my partner and I ordered a three item combo, an order of dumplings, and a can of coke. It was more than plenty of food and had enough leftover for at least one additional serving. For the combo we ordered half and half rice & chowmein, orange chicken, string bean chicken, and walnut shrimp. The shrimp was $1.50 extra, I didn't mind since it was going to be an inexpensive meal for two. The three item combo was $10 something before tax. Everything was yummy. I would have liked if the chicken and shrimp were crispy, but the flavors were good and they were cooked well. The string bean chicken was more veggies than chicken, but they tasted fresh and had a nice crisp to them. The combo comes with a drink, egg roll, or soup. I chose the egg roll. While I usually don't like egg rolls with a soft filling, these were good. The outside was nice and crispy, the filling was soft but not overly mushy, and it was flavorful. The sweet and sour was meh, it was obviously not made in house. The dumplings were filled with pork. I saw them grab a frozen bag and dump them in the fryer. It didn't bother me, but they're definitely not made in house. I didn't count how many came with the order, but it was a good amount I would say at least 6. They tasted fine. Not bad for the price ($6 something). Had to wait about 5 minutes to cook. It came with dipping sauce that tasted way better than the sweet and sour. The can of soda was $1. Total, we paid under $22 for two people. Not too bad considering we usually spend double that. I definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for something quick, filling, and affordable that's not a chain /drive through spot. read more

Their menu is excellent with some of the best offerings imaginable! Fish is fresh, created with great aplomb and always delicious.

The food is decent, and the service is good. The manager on-site gave us a egg flower soup as a part of our meal. It's a nice little restaurant that my family goes to for Chinese food. read more

Food is good but portion of food gotten smaller. Ive also noticed new employees all of the time. Caught it myself and realized the owner is always yelling at her employees and i can see it in their faces that they are scared. If anyone can look into it because it's not fair to treat people with disrespect, especially your employees. read more

This place is so good the food is great and the service is amazing! They gave me a really good amount of food, my plate was stuffed. Then finally when it was time to pay the price was very good!! read more

My family and I love this place for a quick fast comfort food. I got the spicy chicken and I loved it. I would say it's a level 7/10 spicy which I love! If you can't handle spicy I would choose something else. My dad (who is very picky) gets the bbq pork and loves it. Veggie rolls are good too Oh and make sure to get the almond cookies for a little dessert after. read more

Very hard to find a good Chinese takeout place. I finally found one near home that has always been good!

Good stuff at this little restaurant. We usually get combination plates with two choices. Always the BBQ Pork. Their BBQ Pork is so delicious. We love the fried rice too. The crab rangoons are wonderful. They give a huge portion and we generally have enough for two or more meals. Totally recommend. Everything is always fresh and hot. Yummy! read more
