A really cute Chinese restaurant. They have a lot of good options and set deals where if you order a certain amount you can get a free dish. Staff is kind and nice and the food is great! The lobster was cooked well and also easy to take out of the shell which is always a plus! The parking out front is a plus too. Would definitely recommend for small families and groups to come visit! read more

We went to this place for a quick lunch. On that day, we ordered the Beef Brisket Rice Noodle and the Bake Lucky Joy Special with Spaghetti. The rice noodle tasted good. The beef brisket was tender and well seasoned. The noodle and soup were typical in taste in any HK cafe. The spaghetti was ok. The noodle was seasoned with Maggie sauce and it was not baked properly (lure warm). Otherwise, the dish was edible and I don't recommend ordering it. This place is "Hit or Missed" with minimum effort in service. read more

After seeing a tv commercial for this place, my parents wanted to check it out cause they featured some special dishes that we hadn't tried before. Their location has a lot of parking in the strip mall and side streets. Inside, it's spacious and clean, being a fairly new place I expected as much. For 1 pm on a Saturday, it wasn't very busy and we were seated quickly. We ordered the salted egg seafood fried rice and satay beef rice noodle. The fried rice was nicely dry and each rice grain was coated with salted egg yolk. There was a good amount of seafood and there was a spicy kick, but the salted egg flavour wasn't very strong. The rice noodle came hot and loaded with beef and bell peppers. Flavourful, it was not too satay-ey but enough to know that was the intended flavour. The portion size was fair and we were full. The standout was the hot milk tea that came with our meals. It was silky smooth and had a good milk to tea ratio. One of the better milk teas I've had in Vancouver. One thing was that even though it was 25°C in the summer, they didn't turn on the AC so it was quite hot. It became a bit unbearable for my dad half way through our stay and we asked them to turn it on. Overall, I'll probably visit again and try their dinner dishes. read more

Lucky Joy BBQ Restaurant - Satay beef rice noodle - Barbeque Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Lucky Joy is my go-in whenever I crave a bowl of heart-warming 藥膳雞米線 Chicken noodles in herbal soup. Their portion is generous and the good quality is consistent throughout the years. There are options for different types of noodles and I like their rice noodles the best for this dish because the smoothness of the rice noodles complements the flavorful herbal soup and chicken nicely. Their Hong Kong style drinks are of the right taste as well. Staff are helpful. The seats of the restaurant are spacious but overall it's an old place. read more

Lucky? Joy?? lol! NO. Just another craphouse to never visit again. THE, most, tasteless, chow, mein, I, have, ever, had, in, my, entire, life. I had to dump 2 packets of soya sauce into it. Normally I'd use half of one. Also too expensive. And the icing on this garbage..........the can of Pepsi was $3.00. I'm glad I didn't order the flied lice. Lucky me. read more

I bet everyone has a "go-to" restaurant on their list when they actually don't know where to go for a quick bite, Lucky Joy is my "go-to" joint! I can't even remember how long we have been dining at this restaurant, must be at least over 25 yrs!! Ya scary right? But throughout the years (even though they changed hands once) the food is still honest, no hassle kind of dependable food, consistency has always been their strong point here! This is also my go-to takeout restaurant whenever I have renovations or anything that would prevent me from using my own kitchen. So what do you say about the food? Good portion, reasonable price and fast service! Free parking at the strip mall (by the way LA Chicken is right next door!) Lucky Joy is like an old friend that would not say no to you whenever you need an extra hand! read more

Food is always excellent and consistent. I love their Aberdeen fried rice. I do wish they start accepting credit cards.

This restaurant has the freshest king crab I've ever had! The meat is so sweet and comes out in pieces, and the price is so worth it. I definitely recommend coming here. read more

The 2 dish is now $69 and add lobster is still $25. We went on Thursday almost closing time. The food was fantastic. The noodles with lobsters has wok hei which makes the noodles taste so flavorful. It's different from prior visit. Lobster was decent size and taste fresh. The salt and pepper shrimp are so tasty as usual. Finally, the sweet and sour fish on hot plate is delicious. So glad we came again this time. read more

Lucky Joy BBQ Restaurant - Ginger and onion fried lobster. - Barbeque Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

No frills restaurant serving Hong Kong style fare. It's a bit off the beaten path near Cambie and No. 5 Rd, but this place can get crowded during dinner time. Parking can be an issue as the parking lot in front of the restaurant is small. People don't go to this place for the decor or the ambiance; they come to this place because they can get food that taste just as good but costs less than the fancier restaurants. We got the 3 dish combo which includes soup, and we paid an extra $25 for ginger and scallion Dungeness crab. The crab was big and meaty, and tasted great. For the rest of the dishes, the beef and eggplant was the best out of the bunch. The both the eggplant and beef pieces were fried to a point that they were just a little crispy on the outside but plenty of moisture on the inside. We also got the steamed chicken on lotus leaf and bean sprouts, and those were good. No complains about the included soup either. Whole thing was about $100, which is not that expensive for a meal that included a whole crab. read more

Lucky Joy BBQ Restaurant (Chinese). Well, everything tasted fresh, but under-seasoned. The chicken soup was pleasant; the broth was light but fresh. Not much else to say; although if you're unaccustomed to *really* Chinese (in this case, Cantonese) cuisine, you may be surprised to see chicken feet in it. Don't worry, that's normal. The "dau miu" (snow pea tips) were actually pretty good; nice leafy texture without much sinewiness that comes from vegetables that are past their best before date. However they didn't pick out all the stringy fibres, so it was as enjoyable as say Kirin, who serves only the cream of the crop. The scallions and ginger cold chicken (yes, cooked but then chilled chicken is a staple of Chinese cuisine) was slightly better than most, because they served it in a hot oil with soy sauce; at least it was warm. Which unfortunately also meant that the white meat became overcooked and a bit bland if not eaten quickly. Now what I actually looked forward to: the lobster. Again, quite good: perfectly cooked, but slightly under seasoned. We finished with the soy halibut with tofu in claypot. This was unexpectedly good; so good that we inhaled before we remembered to take a picture. Perfectly cooked, but be warned, not filleted: I spent almost as much time spitting out bones as eating it. While this isn't *my* kind of food, I appreciate the fact that everything was fresh. There are more intensely flavoured Cantonese restaurants nearby, but if you're looking for something that tastes like a fresh, home-cooked Cantonese meal, you could do a lot worse. Service was also pretty good, and their HK style iced lemon tea hits the spot. Recommended: halibut clay pot, lobster, HK iced tea. Avoid: fish bones. 3.5 stars, 6.8/10 read more

Another nice and simple Chinese restaurant located in Richmond. The place is pretty plain and simple inside - not too much decorations. They have a special where if you order 3 items from the special section of the menu you can add on a full lobster for additional $20. We ordered this stir fried beef with bitter melon, braised beef in a clay pot,a soy sauce ginger chicken, and the lobster. The food all came out pretty quickly. They even give you a complimentary soup, rice in a nice thermo too keep warm, and a complimentary dessert soup at the end (almost like an egg flower soup). The beef with bitter melon was really good (you have to like bitter melon) along with the chicken. The braised beef was very tender and easy to eat. read more

This is a good place I love coming to for lunch because of their portion, price and taste. They have such a nice variety from baked goodies, to rice dishes to even pasta dishes. They even have a lot of dinner options! * Baked pork chop with fried rice ($11) ~ This didn't have a load of cheese or any cheese on top. But very fragrant in tomato flavour. The Porkchop is very nicely seasoned and baked. Super crispy under the tomato sauce. The rice is nice too perfectly cooked. This dish takes longer to prepare so if your in a rush id go with another option. * Ying yang fried rice (I don't recall price but I believe it was $14) ~ THIS IS A STEAL. The portion is huge, and so worth it. The sauce is so good tomato is very flavourful ad the cream is smooth and rich. Really love getting this dish here. 100% recommend this! Good to share. * 9.5/10 ~ I love the ying yang fried rice so much, and baked rice I wish there was cheese on the baked rice, but the flavours regardless was outstanding. * 10/10 ~ portions and price is so worth it here, I really enjoy this place a lot. 100% worth the price. i don't recall exact price, but we paid around $30 with tip included. * 8/10 ~ good social distancing spread out. But didn't require mask, or contact information, nor did they provide hand sanitizing or temperature check at the door. read more

Very yummy, especially the egg yolk crab. Just for adding $8 for the additional egg yolk so good deal

Never had a bad dish from here. Their chilli oil is amazing. Love all their noodle dishes. Insanely tender beef and perfectly cooked vegetables and it's consistently good every single time. Prompt, efficient service. Can't beat the price either. Our go to for always delicious, reliable, fast, well priced food. read more

My family and I love coming here to have the most authentic Cantonese dishes for a great deal! It's also so yummy and flavourful ugh! They have these combo sets that let you try multiple dishes with a complimentary soup and rice - you can even add a crab/lobster for only $20+! The price is so appropriate and the ambience brings me right back to Hong Kong. They've been around since the 2000s so the interior is older, but that's what gives it it's charm. Such a staple, must give it a try! Definition of 快靚正！ read more

Awesome Singapore noodles great to go for lunch combo comes with a drink of choice very fast and efficient

A hole in the wall restaurant with very limited parking stalls. The five of us got the 4 dish combo, which comes with rice, soup, 4 dishes and Chinese dessert. This combo itself is $98. We upgraded by adding $10 for a lobster. Otherwise, you can choose between a crab or hainan chicken. Overall the food was not bad for its price, especially with the lobster added. I highly recommend the onion shrimp pot. read more

I love this Chinese restaurant!! I visit Lucky Joy Restaurant 6 times a year for family birthdays. We always order 4 dishes for dinner to get a free crab. Staff mostly speaks Chinese, so it is difficult for non-chinese speakers to communicate with the staff. However, I noticed that even if you speak Chinese, staff still gets things messed up. Maybe they're just too busy? They serve complimentary hot tea, soup, rice and dessert if you order 3-4 dishes. read more

Came here for dinner on a busy Friday night! Luckily we came before 7pm and got a table quickly! The line started to form right when we got seated! The food was surprisingly delicious and a very good deal! My party of 4 ordered the 3 dish set meal + lobster =$60+tax&tip; came with soup as well. The dishes we ordered included prawn&3 kinda of onions, beef cubes with eggplant & edamame, and Szechuan beef. Big portions and tasty! A must come of you're in the area! read more

Arrived at 4pm on a black Friday, I was happy to found out that there's no line up so we managed to get a table right away. This is our first time at this place though we've made several attempts without success in the past due to long waiting time during peak dinner hours. There's just 1 other table beside us so our order got taken pretty quickly. They don't serve steam items until 5pm so we didn't get steam fish/oyster which I heard is what they are good for. For dinner, they have combo set which allow you to choose 2-6 items from a large selection of dishes. Adding $25 to any of those dinner combo would give u +2 lb of crab or lobster made to your preference. I found it a great deal because for 3 ppl we've got a full table of seafood by selecting a 2 dishes dinner combo (shrimp and fish) with add on lobsters. And comes with the combo is rice, soup and dessert, everything in for ~$70, no way you get this elsewhere. Food is yummy! What's important is that they use live lobster so it's fresh. -1 for environment and service. The same waitress who served us ended up seating and taking orders from other 5 tables so it's hard to get her attention later even if it's just to get the bill. read more

FOOD: excellent lunch noodles! Great flavour, not too salty, not too oily, good noodle texture, fresh meat, overall very satisfying. DISH OF CHOICE: "chicken with vermicelli noodle in herb soup" & "sliced beef with rice noodle in satay soup" NOTE: have not tried other menu items, nor dinner items SERVICE: 3/5, typical hk cafe. Be ready to be angry here and there, but wait-time not a problem. AMBIANCE: bright windows, typical congee-house style, 20-yr build PARKING: shares parking lot with LA CHICKEN...

Great food, great value! It was under $100 for a 5 dish set menu: lobster with noodles, steamed fish, sweet & sour pork, pot of rice, pot of soup, eggplants & tofu, and broccoli & chicken. This place does get line ups on the weekends since it gets super busy. The food is great and the price is extremely at a great value. Parking is hard though, since the lot is small. I would have given this 4 stars, but I knocked down 1 star for a rude waitress. We started our dinner at 6:30pm, and at about 7:20pm, she says to our table with a slightly irritated tone, "Excuse me, are you finished yet?" Wow, we can't even sit for an hour? We were a group table with 5 plates of food out + pot of rice + pot of soup. She kept looking over at our table to see when we were finished, so we left at about 8pm. I guess the waitresses are under pressure to drive diners out when they're half done or nearly done to get the line up at their door moving. I recommend coming here on weekdays instead then. I'm sure the meal would be more enjoyable without a waitress constantly looking over your shoulder and huffily asking if you are finished when you are clearly not even finished. Don't expect a pretty place, the restaurant is pretty old and slightly run down looking. It's noisy, crowded, and with somewhat rude waitresses. You're there for the excellent food and amazing price. read more

Lucky Joy BBQ Restaurant - Lobster, steamed fish, and Lucky Joy's set menu - Barbeque Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

It is a hole in the wall restaurant for awesome, authentic, and home cooked style Chinese food at amazing prices. It is definitely not a place for Westernized fast food Chinese food (e.g. chicken and broccoli). The two dishes that stood out the most were the steak cubes with okra and Dungeness crab with yee mein. Nevertheless, I enjoyed everything we ordered: crispy chicken with shrimp chips, fried fish and bean curd in hot pot, stir fried string beans with minced pork, choy sum, spinach with fried bean curd, and a bowl of soup for the table. The prices are ridiculously cheap. For example, the Dungeness crab is $13 per pound. For context, it cost us $16 per pound at a market in Chinatown for us to buy it and cook it ourselves. In total, we ate a large meal for $150. It fed 6 adult and 2 kids and we had leftovers. In terms of service and overall atmosphere, I completely disregard that aspect for a hole in the wall place. Our waitress basically just took our order and the food came out. It is not the cleanest restaurant and the furniture is old. However, there is a reason the prices are so low. It was definitely the best value for a meal we ate in Vancouver. I take that tradeoff of atmosphere and service versus price all the time for great food. The restaurant is located in a small plaza. As a result, you have to get lucky with parking. There may be some street parking outside of the plaza but I am not sure because I was fortunate when a car pulled out of a spot as I pulled into the lot. This place gets busy. It is popular with the locals. Even on a weekday, it becomes a madhouse with a line at 7:30 PM. We made a reservation at 6:00 and beat the rush.

We decided to eat here on a Sunday night. Arrived around 6pm and sat down. Ordered the 2 dish course with comes with a free dish of fried chicken wings. First came the soup which appeared to be the house special, nothing fancy just your regular broth with seaweed and meat. We ordered the squid with spicy salt which was probably the best dish we ordered. We also ordered the singing chicken hot pot boneless, you have the opportunity to either go bone in or bone out. Last dish we selected was the chicken chow mein. Not bad, good size portion, could have used a few more ingredients but for $8.50 can't complain. For dessert we got their tapioca with taro which was nice. Not too many places gives you that particular dessert, most of the time a red bean soup. The not so nice thing was that we were rushed to leave, not having quite been there 1hr, as soon as we got dessert and the bill they were quickly picking up the plates saying someone was waiting for the table. For that I gave them a lower rating. read more

Hideaway place next to LA Chicken behind Cambie Street. Stree parking ok. Went for group dinner which was a great value. We had set dinner for 4 around $56, add $10 for lobster. Started with chinese soup. Dinner also comes with a bucket of rice Salt and chilie fried calamari...yumm Pea shoot stir fried, good flavour big dish (regular restaurant price $18 at least) Chicken steamed with lotus leaf with various salted meat, black fungus. Very moist and chicken well flavored Tiger prawns dish also good Considering the price we paid we had pretty good food. I was pleasantly surprised. Bad: Extremely busy restaurant, make a reservation or go early. Seating very tight. read more

Came to visit during lunch because coworker felt like having Hk Cafe style food, and this was the closest. He has been multiple times and likes the pork chop on rice, but my first visit. The place is absolutely horrible. Everything is dirty. I ordered Singapore style noodles and I have no idea what meat it was, but it was red and didn't taste of bbq pork. I asked for a to-go box and they gave me the tiniest box ever, that I couldn't even fit the noodles in. And the worst, I was sitting on the can for the whole afternoon. Ugh!!! Will never come back!!! read more

This is definitely one of my family favourites to go to for dinner! Prices are reasonable, staff are friendly, and food is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend the lobster in cream sauce, because that sauce is to die for. I also highly recommend the sweet and sour pork because it's the perfect balance of sweet, savoury, sourness and crispness. Another highlight of this place is their soup at the beginning of the meal and dessert at the end of the meal! it's the perfect start and finish to a delicious meal! read more

Great food, great price and fast delivery. May not be a good place to treat your customer, but cozy enough for a family union. So far the best restaurant I found in Richmond. The combo of 4 (plus a crab) is indeed big enough for 5 to 6 people, as free rice, house soup and dessert are provided. read more

Parking is always a challenge here, so either come before lunch rush or after. Today I did take out. Noticed on the flatscreen TV behind the Cashier there was a special combo A for $7.95. Szechuan Fried rice with drink. So I ordered it and some dumplings. The problem for me is I keep getting stuff that they say is Szechuan in a Cantonese restaurant and keep getting disapointed. Why? Cause it's not Szechuan..... After I ordered it, I realized that I actually couldn't eat it cause of the carbs and the oils and so on. I ate it anyways and it wasn't bad. It definately wasn't spicy. The dumplings, boiled veggie dumplings for $6 were decent. Nothing to write home about. What I should have tried was their Wuntun. That's what this place is really about. Next time. I'll have to do that. read more

A small joint that gets packed. Quite an interesting place because of that actually. We ordered the 2 dishes set meal. Comes with a watercress soup, tapioca soup dessert and 4 fried chicken wings. Why chicken wings? No idea. But a 5 course meal is a 5 course meal. The water cress soup was nice light and balanced. The fried chicken wings are nothing special. But hey.... 5 course meal... What do you want right? We ordered 2 hot pots. You have the option of upgrading the dishes to a lobster dish. But we kept it simple. Halibut hot pot has pork in it. Vegetarians beware. Fish was nice. Some tofu. Some cabbage. Halibut plentiful. Decent. Chicken hot pot. Comes with Chinese sausages and onion. Hmmm....I think the halibut one is just a little better. Tapioca soup was thick and filling. Sweet but not over done. It works. The place is affordable but could benefit from a nice cleaning. 90s Chinese restaurant decor appreciated regardless. Parking is dismal. Consider take out. I'd come back. read more

It's a great place if you feel homesick for HK food. Parking is definitely a hard thing to do, and there's usually a lot of people in there. The place has a good atmosphere in it, and the food is well-cooked. Service there is pretty good, as well, and the servers there are very attentive. I went in there with my family one time and we were considering what dishes to order for the special set, when a server came by and put down the typical bucket of rice that comes with the set on the table. My entire family was surprised, and my mother asked him: "How did you know we were going to order the special set?", and the server simply smiled and replied: "It's because you were holding the menu." I was pleasantly surprised, because it wasn't the usual "I overheard you talking"-thing, it was a because the server was observant. Anyhow, the food is always good, and it's quite affordable, so you have to at least give this place a try! read more

Food is great but servers are dishonest. Watch your bill and your change. I've been short changed or charged the wrong amount multiple times.

Don't let this hole-in-the-wall eatery fool you. Despite it's mediocre decor, you'll be blown away by their delicious authentic Cantonese soul food dishes! My faves are their razor clams in XO sauce, fresh oysters served on the half shell, and fresh lobster.
