I went here with 2 other people but ordered enough for 6-7 ppl. Why? I haven't had good Chinese Food in a while (since my fave Jennie Lows closed) I have especially been in search of a good crispy Hong Kong style chow mein. So I wanted to try several dishes (and I went really hungry... bad idea, lol) The dishes we ordered were; crab puffs- these were really good. You could actually see and taste the crab in there. It wasn't mostly cream cheese like a lot of other places. The house special crispy chow mein and bbq pork crispy chow mein- the toppings had a lot of veggies and the sauce was good, tho a bit too salty. But the noodles were way too deep fried to the point that the sauce didn't penetrate them and they were a bit hard to chew. I asked for extra brown sauce and they were very accommodating. Chinese chicken salad- the lightly breaded chicken was good with a lot of shredded lettuce and little crispy noodles. The dressing needed more flavor but we added some soy sauce and that helped. We also got green beans and beef. This was quite delicious. My niece added chicken curry- this came with chicken breast, onions, carrots and bell peppers. I found it bland but she liked it. The portions were so nice and big. As far as ambiance, that could use some work. The walls are this cafeteria like salmon color but the booths are comfortable. The service was excellent. Everyone who works there is so nice. Too nice even, this one guy kept coming and checking our table every 5 minutes, lol I don't know why. At the end a lady asked us how the food was and we all said it was great but I gave a note about the noodles being overly fried. And she told us, next time you come, let us know and we won't fry it so much. I really appreciated that. So all in all, I really recommend this restaurant and look forward to trying other dishes. read more

Went for the first time last week after seeing rave reviews on socials. I had the lunch special beef with green beans and chow mein. All SOO good. This is my fave dish I order from another local place so I wanted to see how it compared. IMO way better! Everything was fresh and the veggies were cooked just right. Still with some crunch. Hot & Sour Soup is in my top 5 but I like mine a little more peppery but that's just personal preference. Decided to go again today to try something else- Snow White Garlic Chicken. Yummy garlic sauce with chicken breast, onion and green onion. Again delicious! Had a mostly diff wait staff the second visit. But both times it was nothing but smiling faces and they really are trying hard to make it work and give you a great meal. Prices are awesome and it's so clean and bright inside too. read more

I decided to try this new restaurant in Cotati. I had heard good things about it. I decided to get the princess chicken, I got the soup and rice to go with it. I was judge a Chinese restaurant by the hot and sour soup. This one was delicious. The princess chicken had just enough spice and there was enough food that I was able to have two meals. The white people were very friendly, and I appreciated their attentiveness. The restaurant itself was not very fancy, but it was comfortable. It had mainly booths and a few tables scattered throughout. read more

It's nice on the outside, though very utilitarian in n the inside. They seemed a bit scattered when I arrived, though I didn't see many occupied tables. I ordered the cashew chicken lunch. Decent portions though very bland. Even the hot & sour soup didn't have the level of flavor in used to. They are new so I'll check back in a few months. read more

Lucky Garden restaurant is located in the Grapevine Shopping Center in Cotati. I was there for a late lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. I was very much surprised to find the dining room over half full with customers at 2:45pm. They seated me on the far side of the dining room, and I waited about 5-mins for someone to bring me a menu. A young lady brings me the lunch menu, and we discuss what's good to order. I decide on "Ginger Scallion Fish and Fried Rice lunch plate," and Potstickers. OMG! The lunch plate is 5-stars delicious! Generous portions! The Ginger Fish was fresh, moist, and tasty. The fried rice was moist and showed the charring of "wok hei." The egg roll was crispy and had crunchy shredded veggies. The hot 'n sour soup was perfect in taste and appearance. However, the potstickers were the frozen type, and had no flavor. I had to drown them in soy vinegar and soy sauce to eat them. If this restaurant has so much business, they should offer "house made" potstickers. Ginger Fish Lunch Plate, Price $14.45 Potstickers (6), Price $10.85 This is a nice spacious restaurant. It has separate mens and womens restrooms. Lots of free parking in the shared lot. Overall, a very good first time experience and I would return. Perhaps I will try the Wor Won Ton Soup next time. read more

Good luck to Lucky Garden! Our server told us the restaurant opened just a fortnight ago. The takeaway orders were pinging during our time in the dining room; must be good, eh? Yes it most certainly was. Of course, we ordered too much, but everything was delicious and plentiful. read more

We have waited anxiously for the opening of Lucky Garden and am pleased to share it was worth the wait. Upon entering you can appreciate the bright open space. We were greeted warmly by the staff. The menu offers plenty of menu options. The menus themselves are bright, clean & easy to read. My friend and I shared the vegetable potstickers and agreed that they were extremely good. We liked that the exterior was crispy with tasty vegetables inside. I ordered the spicy tofu dish, which was quite plentiful and I loved the freshness of the vegetables and the tasty spicy sauce. Our server was a delightful young lady, I actually recognized her as a former neighbor. The owner, Kelly, has such a pleasant personality, and after speaking with her, we could tell she clearly put a lot of thought into this restaurant. We plan to visit again and often. I think you should check it out as well if you want fresh tasty and affordable Chinese food. read more

My wife and I were very excited to see the grand opening signs. Luckily the wait was worth it as the food was delicious. We took our food togo as we were short on time (and i forgot to take photos before eating so forgive the lack of full portions in the images). Bbq pork buns (steamed char siu bao) were filled generously with plenty of flavor. The bao themselves were not dry or dense. Vegetable fried rice had a good balance of veggies. They were not over seasoned and the rice still had a good firmness Lemon chicken had a nice fry to them (and we were pleased that they weren't 'nuggets of chicken but actual breaded chicken). The sauce had a fresh lemon taste and was just the right consistency. Walnut sweet buns - perfect as our "dessert". Nice bites of walnuts with a sweet sauce inside (similar to a cinnamon roll in flavor). The bun itself was soft and looked amazing. Overall great experience. The staff were very friendly and answered all my questions without issue. Restaurant itself is clean, well decorated and welcoming. We will definitely return. read more

Just returned from our second time for dinner at Lucky Garden in Cotati. This time we went with 5 people and ordered the Family Dinner for 5. It included: Egg Rolls; Either Sweet and Sour or Wantan soup; BBQ Pork Fried Rice or Chow Mein; Cashew Chicken; We replaced Mongolian Beef with Curry Chicken; Chicken with Mushrooms on a Sizzling Iron Platter; and Walnut Prawns. EVERYTHING was awesome and delicious, Service was impeccable, all food was fresh, veggies were cooked perfectly. You will not be disappointed. This is now our go to Chinese restaurant in the RP Cotati area. Check out their menu: https://order.luckygardencotati.com/order/main/dim-sum read more

Last week I ordered food to take out and did have to wait a bit, but that was understandable since they just started and were popular. The customer service was excellent. Very helpful. Specifically, a young lady, who seemed to be waiting on tables, helping to-go customers, and checking people out at the register. The young gentleman who was there was a little lost and wasn't really able to help much, although he tried. Overall, we really enjoyed the food. The veggies were fresh and everything was cooked perfectly. We ordered the beef broccoli. The ratio of beef and broccoli was perfect. The beef was tender. My only slight complaint would be that it needed some more flavor. We also ordered the sweet-and-sour prawns, which were delicious. We also had the vegetable chow mein. There were lots of vegetables, maybe not enough noodles, and again lacking a little bit of flavor. Maybe just needed more soy sauce or something. But I will definitely be going again. Try different dishes. read more

My husband and I had been eagerly anticipating the opening of Lucky Garden. As someone who is Chinese and grew up enjoying authentic Chinese food in San Francisco, I've always felt that there haven't been many great Chinese dining options in this area. Chinese food is my comfort food, so I'm so happy to have a new restaurant with authentic flavors. Lucky Garden opened just last week, and we've already been there twice-once for takeout and once for dine-in. Both experiences were excellent. The food is delicious, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Every dish we tried was full of flavor, and you can really taste the wok hei. The service is equally outstanding, with staff who are genuinely warm and welcoming. Lucky Garden will definitely be our go-to spot for Chinese food, and we'll be back soon. read more

We went to Lucky Garden for late lunch/early dinner. Food was just wonderful! Waitstaff was attentive but not overpowering. The walnut prawns were delicious and the fried rice was outstanding! Same for everything else. We were very pleased and impressed with the entire experience. I'd highly recommend this new restaurant. read more

I went with 4 friends yesterday. The food is AMAZING. The best Chinese food here in Cotati. We had pot stickers, coconut prawns, Mongolian beef, hot and sour soup. EVERYTHING WE HAD WAS SO SO DELICIOUS. My friends loved everything they had to. WE WILL ALL GO BACK AGAIN. The service was excellent. They are all very nice. The place is so nice and clean now. Since they remolded. It is beautiful. If you want great Chinese Food go there for sure. read more

Food just ok. Prices decent. Mongolian beef pretty tasteless and no heat st all. Sweet and sour chicken pretty good and decent proportions. House chow mein bland and little meat, no prawns. Spicy lemon prawns was scant, maybe 14 tempura type prawns on small side with a separate sauce that was pretty flavorless and little spice. Was hoping for much better food. Prices were better than China village but food lacking greatly. Restaurant looks nicely remodeled tho I had take out. It was quick. read more

My wife and I decided, after reading some reviews, and anticipating the opening of Lucky Garden to try the new Chinese restaurant in town. We ordered- Walnut Prawns, Beef and Green Beans, and Chicken Chow Mien. We ordered online, received a free appetizer, because our meal was over the said price. All portions were plentiful. However, Walnut Prawns were overcooked and rubbery. Chow mien noodles could of used a little less time (overcooked), The rest of the food choices were on par with some other Chinese restaurants in the area, for us we will probably not be back as we have found our favorite Chinese restaurant, and Lucky Garden is not it. read more

All I can say is there food is top notch, and so is there service AMAZING. Our new favorite restaurant

Staff & service was wonderful. Food was horrible. No taste at all. No bbq pork in the bbq pork fried rice.

Amazing flavors! Best I've had north of golden gate. Great lunch special. Mongolian beef tender and deep flavor.

Kelly is just the sweetest person ever, she's always checking on us and the food was amazing and had great flavor.

Great service for my takeout order, and very good Cantonese mapo. They got the peas and carrots and chilie peppers right! So glad to see a fresh Canto menu and interiors! read more

The food was loaded with salt Good service. The price was good. Too much salt I hope they will read this because I hope they succeed
