    Lunch menu if you're feeling lucky
    Pat F.

    I've driven by this and the other Chinese bbq place nearby for years while working in the area and never tried either. Bbq joint was closed at lunch on a Friday!? So dim sum or a lunch special really sounded good so I tried to get Lucky. A very lovely sweet young hostess and two older servers were great to get me seated right away, choice between lunch combo or dim sum. Because reviews talked about cart service I chose that since there were other tables eating and my nostalgic memories of great dim sum cart options. After deciding to splurge on dim sum I realized that THE cart was mostly empty and instead of traditional small steel steam trays it was a glass enclosure cart with plated items. I started with the only thing I might eat from a few lousy choices in the cart, shrimp and chives dumplings, and ordered two other faves of mine from the kitchen. Those items never came and they let me think about how dried out and stiff the item I ordered was. Then I looked at their prices and realized it was going to be over $20 before tax and tip for food I didn't like that may or may not be coming. So I had to check out with the hostess since the servers weren't coming around. She was very kind and apologetic. It was over $10 before the standard tip I left for three small dried out pieces of which I only ate two. Wow I left out the fact it's dirty old Herfy's location with storage junk over the whole back wall of the restaurant and an equally filthy cook smoking a cig in front of the place. That usually doesn't keep me from eating at an Asian restaurant but my wife wouldn't think of eating here! She was excited to see the one item I couldn't stand to eat when I brought it home for her. We eat a lot of this type of food on weekends and know well. She says Trader Joe's frozen dim sum is better. I wouldn't know as I don't eat that stuff she brings home. If it was excellent and good service without giving me time to think about it I would have stayed but I was so disappointed I closed out and left. Left hungry!! Went to Taco Bell and enjoyed a bean burrito more than these Hockey pucks! So much better Chinese food elsewhere

    This place is not too bad if you want to satisfy your dim sum cravings. Food was overall ok, fried rice was very flavorful but the chow mein was bland, dim sum on the cart was cold but tasted ok -would probably be amazing if it were hot and fresh. The service was super quick and ladies were very friendly. Overall good experience and would recommend for a quick fix.

    One of only two dim sum restaurants I know in this state that still carry their dim sum goodies in carts being manually pushed between tables... very sad times we've come to. I came here with a group of ~15 around 11:30am on a Sunday, and my sis made a reservation for the place just in case. It actually wasn't busy at all, but for our group we had to be split into one large roung table and a separate 4-person table. We ordered mostly the usual stuff, but everything overall was better quality than I had remembered from when I went here with my family many years back after a trip to the Puyallup Fair (yes I still call it that because Washington State Fair doesn't roll off the tongue...). I get dim sum a lot so I'll only list the notable things here: - The shrimp with spinach dumpling was interestingly good. It was essentially a regular har gow with a strong spinach taste if you look past the color. - Egg tarts were probably my favorite; they had a flaky crust to theirs and the taste between the crust and the yolk was very balanced. - The siu mai was very fresh; I remember it was piping hot when servers brought it to us by cart. A pretty solid place for dim sum and I'll most likely come back here again after another special event for sure!

    It has been a while since coming here to enjoy some dim sum for lunch! I like coming here for the convenience and also their dim sum is good! As soon as we entered we were greeted by the very kind hostess and she was able to get us a seat right away, too. The restaurants interior is a bit crowded the way they have arranged their seatings, not sure how else they can possibly make more room because the place it self isn't that big. I'm pleased with the dim sum here. A few of my favorite things to order is the beef tripe, shui mai, and the fried shrimp balls! I love how they give you the honey walnut prawn sauce on the side, too! Yummy!

    We stopped by after picking up Megastar to go. We needed dumplings to pair with our roast pork and roast duck combo we had just ordered from Megastar. Thankfully they were across the street so we didn't have to travel far. The restaurant was busy on a Sunday afternoon. The parking lot was almost full. I ordered the siu mai, steamed shrimp dumplings, steamed shrimp and chive dumplings, and the green beans with garlic. I paid $36 for everything. What a great price. The dumplings were all huge. The siu mai were a good three biter. The shrimp dumplings were smooth with chunks of shrimp. A simple yet delicious har gow. We also really enjoyed the shrimp and chive. These were made fresh , I had to wait a little longer for these to come out. Well worth it. The chive gave it a nice flavor. A good price for sizes. Also the green beans! A whole takeout container for $7 . The best garlic green beans I've had. You must try their chili oil as well! Not that spicy at all. I could finally douse my dumplings in a chili oil. Can't wait to come back and try more dumplings.

    Stopped in for dim sum. They had a great selection and the food was delicious. A great dim sum restaurant in the south end.

    The food was good and service was quick. Restaurant had an old feeling. I would go back. We decided to give the place a try since it was near by. The pork buns with the sticky honey was probably our favorite.

    Beef Tendon ()
    Angela K.

    I thought it was little sketchy about this place so I have been avoiding to visit but it was wrong! Great place for quick dimsum anytime. My favorite is shumai (shrimp pork dimsum) it is giant in size and very chucky. Beef tendon has crazy the most chewy texture in the world and I love it! Shumai ***** Beef tendon ****( dont like the curry sauce as much as the texture lol) Pan fried radish cake **** Shrimp with Scallops **** Tofu shrimp **** Eggplant ** Chinese broccoli ***** Snap peas with garlic sauce **** Fried rice roll *** I havent had other Chinese dishes they have but dimsum tho. Can't wait to try out other dimsum menus and their dishes eventually.

    Steamed Bean Curd Roll
    Maggie L.

    Mediocre food, lackluster service. $1.25/person for tea. No wait at 10:30AM on a Saturday. My favorite thing about Lucky House is the carts with food already available - one has steamed items and one has fried and baked stuff. However, none of the dishes I usually get at a dim sum restaurant (Siu Mai, Steamed Bean Curd Roll, BBQ Pork Bun, Custard Bun) stood out; all were just alright. We spent a little over $60 for 2 adults and 3 kids, which isn't cheap, especially for the food quality.

    Drove 50 min and they just randomly closed today we had 3 parties on their way. You can't do that to customers

    More Dim Sum
    Corey E.

    Have lived in Kent for 21 years and this was our first stop at Lucky House. The building itself is not very welcoming to start, but able to make our way in and bring out the typical Chinese decor on the inside. Lots of smiles when we walked in and kindly showed us our table. We wanted dim sum, but they also have a full menu to order off of for those not into dim. Once greeted our server disappeared, took her a while to come back for the order but once we ordered the food came flying out of the kitchen. There were some pluses and there were some just ok. Everyone has a shumai and theirs was probably a 3-4, just not a lot of flavor. The green beans were awesome and a very close second to the you know who restaurant The best dish was the crispy shrimp balls. How can I explain, a large prawn stuffed into a ball of goodness the. Dipped and coated with crunchy won ton wrappers and fried to a golden perfection. This was served with a honey dressing. And was incredible. The value is there as we ordered large dishes and we ended up taking home left overs. Odd thing, is I noticed they brought tea out with your water whether ordered or not and then charged you 1.75. Another odd thing they had posted was 18% gratuity on 5 ppl. It didn't affect us, but the table next to us were confused even though it was posted clearly. Will come again.

    Push cart dim sum
    Thuy N.

    It's rare to find push carts dim sum to relive my youth. This place is located in Kent and there's ample of parking in the lot. The service was impeccable, the staff was really nice. We came here on Friday for lunch. I noticed a lot of people ordering to-go. It wasn't too busy when we came but there's a lot of tables, and I can see it filling up over the weekend. There's two carts; one for the fried food and the other for the steam food. There's a lot of selections, so you can pick as many as your heart desire. The dim sum was pretty good. The sui mai has a nice size to it. Chicken feet was okay. Couldn't go wrong with the radish cake. I would totally recommend coming here, as there isn't much of a wait on the food like other places. It's a typical dim sum restaurants, for a nice get together with friends and family.

    Golden Shrimp & Chive
    LaPeshaa C.

    This place had the best dim sum I've ever had! The best of the best! The golden shrimp and chive dumplings will knock your socks off! They are beautifully seared, juicy, and so flavorful! The short ribs are seasoned to the bone and so tender! Their shumai is off the chain! So flavorful and well cooked! Lucky house knows what they are doing!

    After seeing some of my elite yelper buddies gave them good reviews, and this place was just down…read morethe street we decided to check it out for a late lunch. Off of central in Kent closer to s 277th street. There was only one young person in the place with us. Two guys working the place. The owner who catered to us, and the cook. Not sure why I never heard of this place. Owner said they have been open for 3 years now. The food came out fast. We actually ordered too much we had it for three more meals at home. I think overall the food was good. Like I was telling the owner I normally drive to Canada to get Chinese food, or San Fran for dim sum. I'm pretty hard to please. But since I like to support local, I'll bring my friends here another time for lunch. The decor was minimal but nice. From the outside it looked like it was closed, and like it was a home or doctors office. It's right next to a bikini barista. So we missed it the first time. It's a brick building. The tea was really good. The perfect amount of Chinese leaves, and it was nice and hot for a cold blistery day even if it's almost spring.

    This place is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to. Held a 40+ event at their banquet…read moreroom and all my guests raved about the food, especially the salt & pepper chicken wings. The honey walnut shrimp was also the 2nd favorite and the black pepper beef short ribs was the third. Overall pricing was excellent for the quality, and the service from Lau and his team was exceptional. I look forward to having dinner here with my family in the future, and also having another bday party in their banquet room.

Based on the 159 reviews, I am going to assume maybe the business changed owners and the reviews reset. I will say, I have been reluctant to return here. I don't recall the food or service being impressive. However, on this visit, the service could not have been friendlier and the food was far better than I remember. In the past, we always came here for lunch and even though we came during lunch hours today, we ordered from the dinner menu. We wanted to try an entrée not offered for lunch and it was pretty good. This place did a couple things really well. Their soy sauce was homemade and their chili oil was full of flavor. I'll also say we were the only no Asian's in the restaurant and it's always a good sign when you have an ethnic business and your people are your main customers. We probably won't rush back, but I trust these guys to serve a respectable meal.

Many speaking mandarin, lots speaking English. But anytime I go to a place and it's not filled with Americans but the people the cuisine represents, it's always a good sign. We were immediately greeted and they have quite a few tables. Many of them are the big round tables with the lazy Susan in the middle. Typical and traditional for a family dinner experience with Chinese food. As it's meant to be served and shared with everyone. You don't typically order your own plate. On our visit we ordered the Westlake beef soup, fried eggplant with spicy garlic, seafood chow fun with gravy, and the salt and pepper fried chicken wings. Every single dish was served piping hot and fresh. The chow fun had a hint of the wok char which is super important. And each dish was delicious. The eggplant was so tasty. The garlic extra crispy and not bitter at all. The crispy coating around the tender eggplant- exceptional! The chow fun was well balanced. The seafood cooked perfectly. The chicken wings, I only wish it had more topping on it. But fried well, light batter and seasoned to perfection. The soup was light and with a little white pepper, I was so satisfied. We will definitely be back. The service was great. They were friendly. Just a tip, they don't take American Express.
