This place has always been pretty good. I've been going for years. I do not like the egg rolls have cabbage instead of beansprouts. Their egg foo young is some of the best!!! Customer service is good. I'm a 20 plus year customer. I miss places like this since I've moved to Taylor. read more

The food was excellent and hot. Servings were large. Service was quick and pleasant. Prices were low for dinner. The servers were pleasant.

Great for a quick bite We stopped in while we were waiting for my nail appointment and ordered a couple of items off of their $5 lunch menu. The menu in the window says it takes 10 minutes, but we got ours in 5. The food itself is okay. I was actually surprised that the orange chicken was crispy and had a bit of flavor to it, not like some quick Chinese restaurants that put old dry pieces of chicken and coat it with an orange colored sugar glaze. My husband was actually put off by the reddish color, but I think it's just the sweet chili sauce that it's coming from. My husband's pepper steak he said was just okay too. "It wasn't great, but it was good for the price. There wasn't a lot of beef in it, but the pieces I did get were a pretty good size. It was a bit overlooked too." I might stop in again if I'm around this neck of the woods again, especially for their large variety of $5 lunch specials. Also bring a jacket if you're eating in; the food might be hot, but the seating area is freezing. read more

I used to order from here all the time when I went to EMU. The orange chicken lunch special is usually what I order. I decided to get it again since I haven't had it in almost 2 years. It's still good, but I guess I look at the chicken little differently now. There's not as much chicken as I thought there was. read more

For the price and quality this place is a steal. $6.50 lunch deals are great. You get your protein selection, rice, and soup for this price. The Mongolian beef was great. Not the best I've had but very tasty(overloaded onions and veggies gives lots of flavor and their crazy was sweet, like most American palates seem to like their Chinese food). The hot and sour soup had great flavor for a soup. Mushrooms, tofu, eggs, and good base make it great. I don't understand the low rating for this place. Maybe other items have less taste. This place has very few people eating in, most seem to take the food to go. Highly recommend this place. read more

Lucky Garden Chinese - Mongolian beef - Chinese Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

Stopped in to Lucky Garden because my favorite Chinese food restaurant has been closed for a few months. I'll preface by saying I don't eat meat, so the options were very limited. I tried a tofu dish and a veggie dish and they both seemed pretty salty, I couldn't really taste much of a difference between the sauces, and I ordered extra hot and it was mild plus at best. Lunch prices seemed very reasonable, and overall okay. read more

It's hot in the dining room. The dining room is dark, uninviting and used for storage. Table service after you order and pay at the counter, which means you have to tip before you receive the service. I ordered Mongolian beef combo w hot and sour soup, no rice. Soup was good. The entree was not traditional Mongolian beef. Everyone has their styles but rice noodles and green onions are typical. I've even seen mushrooms added. This dish was something else. I ate the soup and beef from the dish and left. I tried. I won't try it again. read more

I got food from here for the first time just to try out different Chinese food places around me and let me tell you.... The way i woke up at 3am to yak everything up. I got general tso's chicken and crab Rangoon. Just be careful when ordering cause they said 10 minutes to cook my whole meal which is a little weird. read more

I have eaten at the Lucky Garden three times in my life. This is your typical All-American Chinese restaurant that serves food to local customers. While I have had better, most of the students from EMU enjoy eating at this establishment as an escape from the typical fare that is served on campus. Likewise, you can't beat their prices when it comes to delivery. The chefs and owners at the Lucky Garden, are from southeast of China in Fujian Province. For those us Americans who grew up on Cantonese food, your taste buds will immediately recognize the difference. The taste of the food is more bold and spicy, but not like what you would find at a Schezuan style Chinese restaurant, which serves very hot dishes that can burn your mouth out. Unlike a few friends of mine who have gotten sick from eating the food at the Lucky Garden, I never had a problem here. I will say that the place was very clean the last time I ate here. However, I just don't care for the way the food is prepared. read more

My favorite Chinese food spot I love they crab ragoons and they respectful definitely recommend them

Used to eat there all the time. Good combo specials, close to campus... it was awesome until you take a closer look. I usually order by phone and then go in to pick up, but for some reason i went in to order. Why not!? First thing i noticed, no hair nets... From the cashiers counter you have full view of the kitchen and I watched as an employee came in from outside (probably smoking a cigarette or something), walked into the kitchen (not washing his hands) and proceeded to cook! No gloves, no utensils. Noooo just his hand, raw chicken and a wok. Yum. There were tons of dirty dishes everywhere. I think we all know I stopped eating there. read more

I was looking for a digestible meal that would appear at my front door with minimal thinking on my part, and that's just what I got. I ordered the orange-flavored chicken combo, which came with pork fried rice and an egg roll. The guy on the phone was an affable surfer dude type (on the shores of the Huron River?) who asked all the right questions and told me up front that it would be 45 minutes. "Is that going to be cool?" Sure, but I appreciate him asking as it could be a dealbreaker. The driver arrived 40 minutes later. The fried rice was totally bland. It looked good, with lots of veggies and sizable pork chunks, but it really didn't taste like anything, not even salt. The egg roll shell was a super crispy fried delight, but the inside was of the same caliber as the rice. The chicken was good. It was a very big portion. The chicken was well fried and drowning in a sweet sauce that could have easily been General Tso's or sesame or whatever if not for the occasional bits of orange rind. The next day, I shared some of my leftovers with my boss who said, "That was good. Doesn't taste like orange, but it's good". My very sentiments. For me, 3 stars usually means I won't bother again. But I haven't found 4 star Chinese in Ypsi (would have once given that rating to Hidden Dragon, but the quality definitely took a nosedive). Considering that Lucky Garden only charged me a buck for delivery, I may order it again when I have a too-tired-to-think-about-food kind of appetite. read more

Lunch specials are huge they're only 5 dollars clean kitchen and fast service :) highly recommend read more

Lucky Garden Chinese - Pepper steak 5 dollar lunch - Chinese Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

Nothing that stellar, your typical "American" "Chinese" restaurant, but when it comes to an inexpensive hot lunch in wins over the EMU Student Center anytime! I usually go for lunch and the portions are huge not to mention it is served fast. If you try this place out don't expect too much, but if you are looking for a change from campus food and want a restaurant within walking distance of campus this might just be good enough. read more

Bugs in the food!! I used to eat here all the time. The quality isn't stunning, but the quantity for the money is pretty great. My partner and I were regulars until one day our general tso was full of tiny beetles. I tried to complain, but the employees I spoke with just seemed annoyed and not bothered. I just go to Lucky 7 now. read more

I haven't had a good experience with Chinese food in quite some time, but I decided to check out Lucky Garden - knowing full-well what I was getting myself into - because I'm tired of the lack of dining options in the building I work in. Anyways, I hit up the lunch menu, which was decently priced at $4.50 per dish, and had the General Tso's chicken - it came with a fairly large side of fried rice and a choice of soup; I had the wonton. I was pleased with the ratio of wontons to broth, but the broth was a little heavier than I would have liked. The pork fried rice left something to desire, and the chicken wasn't nearly spicy enough compared to what I'm used. All things considered, Lucky Garden is a good place to have lunch if you're in the area and craving OK Chinese food, but it's nothing to write home about. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite for lunch. Huge $5 lunch specials come with white or Fried rice and soup. Quite a good portion also. I ordered the pepper steak and was full by the time I was halfway through. I highly recommend them if you are in the area the sign in the front says it takes about 10 minutes for their lunch specials I think ours to look around 5 read more

Ordered for the first time here. Everything was great until I had the Pad Thai, which was horrible. I would rate my entire order EXCEPT for the Pad Thai as a 5, but this dish was mushy and flavorless. Hopefully they will up their game with this dish in the future. It won't stop me from ordering there again with things I know they do well. read more

They arent wearing masks in the middle of a pandemic wont be going there again. We are literally in a pandemic and no one in the restaurant has a mask on. Servers and cook no masks. read more

We ordered three entrees; Shrimp egg foo young (fluffy and light... mostly eggs and potatoes(?) boring and other restaurants usually have other veggies in them), Sweet 'n Sour shrimp... each smaller shrimp was inside about a 2" fried batter donut - disappointing plus no veggies, and last but not least their "Curry" chicken... clear (thought I got the wrong dish) and did NOT taste remotely like curry - hated whatever the taste was but there were plenty of veggies. Called to ask if this was typical for the prep of these dishes and was told that it was. This was my first and last order from this place. read more

They mistook my order (I ordered a small dish and they made me a large) - when I clarified that I had ordered a small, they told me they had already made a large, then a pause.... Ok, what? You want me to pay for it cuz you made a mistake?! I actually had to argue with her and the cook (um, hello, I wanted a small, I ordered a small, I'm not paying for a large, I don't care if you already made it, give me half, whatever, I'm only paying for a small) - Lord knows why I didn't just walk out of there... oh yeah, and the food was not good. I imagine the only reason they are still in business is cuz they are right across the street from EMU and lots of student housing and the mostly white patrons don't realize what crappy chinese food they're getting anyway. Sorry, it's true. read more

This place is underrated! I order delivery from them more than going into eat - and their delivery is fast, the food is always hot! And most importantly it's delicious. I recommend the sesame chicken! read more

the last three times we've gone there the food has been terrible, not warm, not spicy, not tasty. We are done. trying

I have been going to this place since I was a teenager. It is by far the best in Ypsilanti in fact if I have a taste for Chinese food we drive from Belleville. Great food! read more

The food is overly greasy and generally bland, the employees are generally rude and short tempered. Would not recommend.

Online ordering a plus for me, fast delivery, spice level customized as requested, good value. I'd order delivery from them again.

This is my go-to place for Chinese food! I love their $5 lunch deals. I always get General Tso chicken and it tastes so good! All the workers are so nice. I've never had a bad experience here. read more

The food is very good and the portions are huge for the price you pay. I've yet to have been disappointed. they do take credit card, but the order just be a $10 minimum. Maybe the reviewer below me Rebecca had this problem. I highly recommend read more

We ordered by phone for delivery. They only take cash, but neglected to mention this by phone. There was a big fiasco upon delivery involving the delivery driver talking loudly in the phone in chinese. Food is amazing. Perfect cheap American Chinese food. But the delivery system needs work. read more

I just tried this place this past weekend and ordered here two days in a row! The food was hot and flavorful. The delivery was very quick and it arrived in less than half the time they said it would! The dinner combination plates are large servings and you get a lot for your money. The egg rolls were some of the best I've had! Thoroughly enjoyed it! read more

I've been going here since I was little. The staff were always on point and really on top of things. It has changed over the years, but the food is just as delicious as its always been. Always my favorite Chinese restaurant. I've never done delivery so I can't speak on it, and the staff aren't as awesome as they used to be back in the day(staff changes etc) but the portions, the speed and food are always top for me :) read more

I am not entirely sure why Lucky Garden gets bad reviews. We have gotten it for lunch here at work in A2 several times and I have yet to be even remotely disappointed. The food is great, and the portions and large for lunch. I can usually get some for lunch, and finish the rest for dinner; and I have a pretty high metabolism. I have been to Lucky 7 on Washtenaw, and Lucky Garden wins that battle handedly. I really don't know why everyone thinks Lucky 7 is so great, I was pretty disappointed with it. read more

Food is spectacular! Meals are freshly prepared, and absolutely delicious. I love the fact that they deliver food in a timely manner and the food is inexpensive. read more

This will be the last time I order from Lucky Garden. The gentleman who took my delivery order was very rude. I'm the customer! Do not talk to me as if I need you. I'd rather drive to Szechuan on Ford Rd in Canton. You don't get to be rude to me as if you're helping me. read more

I had Szechuan chicken, and it was tasteless. I had to drench it in soy sauce for it to taste like anything and I'm not even a big fan of soy sauce AND I found plastic in my food!!! Never going back!! I'll stick to the other Lucky 7 down the street! read more

I ordered sweet and sour chicken from this place and there was a roach in my plate. Don't eat here ever, it is too much of a health risk for insects to be in food ever! They were very rude and unprofessional when informed of the situation. I had to demand my money back and it took 3 phone calls and I waited 2 hours before it was returned. Even the delivery guy admited it was a bug and it is a common occurance there. read more

Carry out is the way to go here, eating in is in sanitary and delivery takes an hour and a half, but it's good food, If you're going to eat here, carry out is the way to go! read more

Worst customer service, they will argue if a delivery is wrong, their manager is incredibly rude I ordered kung Paobeef I got Hunan beef or Athenian beef there were no peanuts, the meg actually argued with me I told him to come look he continued to argue, an.the finally offered to send a driver with peanuts I was so angry by then I told him we would never return and I would tell my friends this guy was upgraded what has happened to our customer service???? I'm a hairstylist I'd never ever treat a customer as a liar I'm urging everyone not to go to this pathetic Chinese cuisine they refuse to own a little mistake I'd have been happy if they brought what I had ordered and given back the error product, they get a Tripoli from me read more
