    After years, dine-in seating has re-opened!
    Jeff M.

    I was happy to see that they brought back their dine-in option recently! During my visit I ordered Crab Rangoon and Szechwan Chicken with saki (Tozai 'Snow Maiden' Negori). Crab Rangoon made for a good appetizer as I waited for the entree. As a fan of spicy food, I found the Szechwan Chicken to be a good balance of flavor and heat. Far from overwhelming, but enough to get a small reaction as I finished my plate.

    Menu as of 12/6/2021

    Before a 6:30pm movie at the nearby Oriental Theater, I wanted to get dinner from somewhere in the area. I had recently bookmarked Lucky Liu's, so I figured it was good timing and the right opportunity to try them. I ordered the orange chicken combo with fried rice and crab rangoon. I also ordered two shrimp egg rolls. The egg rolls were sizeable, but other than the two shrimp I found in each, they were loaded with cabbage as filler. I give them credit for the egg rolls being homemade and not store bought quality, but I've had better. The crab rangoon were very good. The filling burst out after I bit into both because they didn't skimp on the cream cheese mix. The fried rice was fine. You certainly get a lot, but all I could see and taste was rice and egg. It would have been nice to have another texture/flavor of some sort to mix it up a bit, like onion or bean sprouts. The orange chicken didn't lack in flavor with a generous amount of sauce in the container. I don't normally eat orange chicken (I prefer General Tso's), but I was in the mood for it that night and was left satisfied. As of 12/6/2021 their dining area is still closed due to COVID-19. I didn't know this before I stopped, so I had to make a split second decision to either go somewhere else or order takeout and eat in my car. Since I already had it in my mind that I wanted to try Lucky Liu's, I ordered takeout and froze eating it in my car. Yes, freezing was clearly a result of my decision and not something that Lucky Liu's forced on me, but it's kind of ridiculous that their already small dining area is still closed. Something to be aware of if you were hoping to dine in.

    Worst food I've ever had. Sorry!!!

    The order took like 10 minutes to make as we ordered from the restaurant window on a Friday night and the food smelled good but that's the only positive I can give to this place. The food was straight up bad. The drenched sauce on the stir fry was way too much and there was nothing good about the egg rolls. Midway thru my friends meal, he found an egg shell in his fried rice Mongolian beef meal and he just stopped eating after that. After the food, I could feel my stomach trying to digest the heavy food to no avail leaving me and my friend stuck in a food coma ruining the rest of the night for us.

    So crazy hot I could pull a McDonald's lawsuit. YUM! Fresh and delicious. I order kung pao chix w extra water chestnuts and extra spicy, perfect! Crab rangoons w sweet and garlicky flavor, sweet n sour chicken w juicy white meat and these are all missing a serving bc I forgot / no sleep til Brooklyn! Consistently tasty and very affordable.

    My first lunch choice was this new burger place but after driving around for 10 minutes and not finding any parking I moved on, I'm not paying $15 for a lot to have a $10 burger lunch. This place has plenty of street parking so stopped by for lunch and as usual I opted for a lunch special. The place it self was small with a sushi station and a few tables that looked clean but no one in it like most Asian places. The menu has all kinds of goodness including sushi but I would have the Mongolian Beef lunch special and one shrimp egg roll. The Mongolian Beef lunch special is a lot of food that came with egg fried rice and two crab Rangoon, I only order crab Rangoon when it's that or a spring roll because spring rolls do nothing for me. The crab Rangoon was crunchy with that sweet cream cheese filling and pretty good. The egg fried rice is simpl but tasty with perfect cooked rice and fluffy scrambled eggs. The Mongolian Beef was in a brown sauce that was not the sweet kind which I liked with big pieces beef and soft onions but on the mild side. The beef portions were perfect and they didn't try to overload it with the veggies and skimp on the meat like some places do on lunch specials. The egg roll was the better kind because it was not the micro one that a lot of places do today, fresh with chunks of shrimp and cabbage that had some crunch left in it while tasty in that crispy shell. Honestly this is one of the better Asian lunch specials that I have had in Milwaukee because it was generous food wise with fresh quality ingredients that was tasty and not just average like a lot of places. I would definitely try more of the menu with no problem.

    Do you have dine in?

    No, I heard they are closed right now due to Covid-19, but they have really good takeout. Definitely a place to check out! It's my favorite Chinese restaurant in Milwaukee.

Plenty of space for parking in the back. Dark, smoky atmosphere with Asian interior designs. Perfect ambiance for BBQ! We had both Korean BBQ & hot pot, absolutely worth the price for both. The BBQ was by far everyone's favorite. We recommend the beef bulgogi, beef short ribs, and pork belly--these were the best for BBQ. Since it was all you can eat, we had a few servings of them. There was also a counter for different types of sauce one could get and a dessert section. The hot pot was great as well. We recommend the bone broth and the fish/shrimp/meatballs with it as well as udon noodles. The service was great overall. Our server was busy, but she managed to be attentive with us. We left with our belly full. We will absolutely come back.

We ordered the bulgogi, steak cubes, pork belly, spicy pork belly, beef tongue, rib meat, shrimp, creamy corn, fried buns, and a few other smaller items. The meat was all good quality! Our tables' favorite meat was the bulgogi for sure. We also loved the creamy corn and fried buns. However, beef tongue was so tough though I couldn't even bite into it (but honestly wasn't expecting to enjoy it!). The sauce bar was a fun touch to get exactly what we each liked. It was a little tricky being in a booth and getting people out to make their sauce combos though but we made it work. There is also a dessert bar but nothing was super intriguing to us and we were pretty full from the meal. The only downside was the service. Other servers seemed awesome but our waitress was totally aloof. She missed multiple orders of ours and we had to reorder those, and she acted super confused each time we had to tell her. She didn't give any direction on the process, and each time we wanted to add to the order we had to wave her down. I don't think she proactively checked on us once. A table nearby had the hotpot and that looked really good. We were intrigued and want to come back and try it. All in all, a great experience, and $31 per person for the amount of food you can rack up felt like a really good deal.

The staff is always very nice and if they are busy for some reason, they even have kiosks to order from as well. I'm Korean and love me some Korean fried chicken wings, but going here means I do not have to make them, make a mess in my kitchen, or have to spend time prepping everything beforehand. Yes, I know these are Karaage but they are very similar. I usually get the boneless wings just because I am weird and do not like having sticky fingers when I am eating, so these I can eat with a fork. The crispiness is always spot-on and I love that they give you just enough sauce to give everything a good coat and flavor but not too much that the chicken is drowning. I also really love the rice cakes that they add into the tenders and wings, it's like a nice little chewy treat to go with everything. Their fries are a LOT of fries! My wife and I have learned we can share one order of them. They have a bunch of varieties of seasonings you can add to the fries but I tend to get mine plain and just eat it with ketchup. I love coming here and their little outdoor patio is great when I want to bring my pup or just enjoy the nice fresh air as we eat our meal.
