    Beef w/string beans. Sooo good
    Tara M.

    So Lucky has become my go-to Chinese takeout. So good. They have a 2 for 25.50 combo for 2 people. Awesome. Alot of food. Tonite, I got their Beef with string beans which is my 2nd time getting them. Delicious and not glurpy, meat was super tender. I did order steamed veggie dumplings, and I won't do that again. So doughy,tough and dry..ick. filling was also nothing to write home about. My friend got their ol stand by general tso chicken. Lol which was also crunchy and saucy, chicken was tender. Their soups are still their shining stars, along with their dinners. Just don't order dumplings. Maybe it was off day who knows, but definitely ick. So if you're looking for a cheap quick lunch or dinner, it's definitely worth many check-ins.

    We had General Tso's chicken, pork lo mein, and pork egg rolls. General Tso's was very tasty. Egg rolls were crispy, and lo mein flavorful. Above average for take out chinese food!

    This is my local Chinese Restaurant. I am amazed-- they seemed not to care that they lost my business. Today I called at 3:15 to order 3 lunch specials. I was driving and had to wait until I got home to call... Therefore, I couldn't call before 3pm. The girl on the phone wouldn't take my order! I never had this issue before (when the owner was there but) but the girl and the cook decided they'd rather make an issue of the time than take my order! They didn't care one iota that, as I hung up, I'd decided I was taking my business to another, really much better, Chinese Restaurant! Now they've lost not only my business but also the business of the friends with whom I was eating lunch. There are scores of Chinese restaurants around here, and since I no longer have an allegiance to Lucky Star, I'm taking my business elsewhere. Believe me their food's not good enough to worry about leaving them. Their food is greasy, unimaginative and many times downright inedible! Goodbye Lucky Star!

The delicate…read morewontons were packed with flavorful filling and coated in a rich, aromatic chili oil that delivered the perfect balance of heat, spice, and savory depth. The sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

When it comes to food, I never judge a burger by its bun, so thanks to Yelp for helping me find it. The sign in the window says "Asian fusion" which usually sends me running as it's often a cop-out label for bad mixed-up Asian cooking, but this is authentic y'all, meaning true-to-tradition dishes with a sometimes more contemporary application of ingredients or flavors. The "fusion" part must come from the fact that they have a small Taiwanese section as well as the main Szechuan/Sichuan menu, alongside a few familiar Chinese-American favorites like sesame chicken or broccoli x protein, so you can get that here too. Everything we ordered was phenomenal! Great flavors, generous portions, cooked with confidence and finesse. Compliments to the kitchen - they really know what they're doing. Not a single dish was lacking. They even put out peanuts at the start and serve fresh orange slices at the end of the meal. Very old school. We loved it all: * Salt & white pepper crispy chicken ("Taiwanese specialty") - well-battered and flavored, and perfectly crispy * Taiwanese minced pork rice * Chicken red curry - fabulous, with fresh vegetables and just the right balance of spice * Golden dish (fish) - very special dish in a salted duck egg yolk batter * Beef chow fun * Marinated crispy duck Wish I lived closer, but will definitely come back when we are in the area. Best of the best - very highly recommended!

Duck Lo Mein was also plentiful and the Honey Miso Salmon was a dish not found in most other Chinese restaurants.

I was here on a Tuesday, so it was very slow, there was only one woman running the front of the house. But, they had some takeout orders going out every so often. That being said, the food is really yummy! I was here with my mom and we each had a hot and sour soup. It was fine, but when you add some of the side of black vinegar and picketed ginger... it was very tasty! We shared the dan dan noodles which were delicious! We also had the crab and pork soup dumplings which were hot and tasty. Finally, we split the stir fries beef filet with scallions and miso which was great!

    Came here in search for good authentic Chinese food, and I was not disappointed. I whether you are…read moreexperienced or inexperienced, check this spot out and keep an open mind. You won't regret it. It's a Szechuan style Chinese food which is spices and chili oil focus vs the more common Chinese food which is more southern Chinese style (Cantonese). Mom said they had good soup dumplings, "xiao long bao" which are steamier dumplings that have a little bit of soup in them. If you've never had them before, do not eat it all in one bite! Put the dumpling in the spoon they give you and take a small bite into the skin and suck in the soup. If you don't, you'll burn the heck out of your mouth. The soup dumplings were great. Make sure you order them right away because they take longer to cook, it's better to enjoy them first than when you're close to full because they are best when eaten fresh. The other items we got were F5 the fish fillet in chili oil. It came in a big bowl with some mushroom and cabbage and was very good. The spice is more medium, so if you can't handle heat I wouldn't recommend this dish. It was different than the usual fish in chili oil because it was a little saltier than I'm used to, but that's okay because you should eat it with white rice and there were less Szechuan pepper corns if any, which is what we prefer. Usually the peppercorns are a detractor to the dish, but that's the style. The other dishes we ordered were the eggplant in garlic sauce and scallion pancakes. The scallion pancakes were not special but cooked perfectly. They weren't greasy or burned like the ones you'd get from most places. The eggplant in garlic sauce was delicious. The eggplant is an Asian style that resembles a zucchini in shape and size, and doesn't have many seeds as a regular eggplant. The sauce is a little sweet and tangy, great over some white rice. The dish complements the other dishes well because of the contrast in flavors, so you can get a taste of all of the flavors of the rainbow. Like in most places in Jersey, it's in a plaza with plenty of parking but it's clean, especially the bathrooms, and very well decorated. The restaurant feels modern with a Chinese flair. The coolest things were the tea cups, take a look at the pictures. They were really nice!

The owner, Freddy, is very chatty and told us on weekends, they have a line for tables. His service is amazing, he connects with all his patrons, and is super generous. He brought us hot and sour soup, additional dumplings, and gave us a taste of his chicken and eggplant dish. We ordered the standard Chinese take out items--general Tsos chicken, vegetable lo mein and string beans stir fried with garlic. Everything came out quickly. The general tsos chicken could have been more crispy, but I appreciated that they weren't just half breading. The vegetable lo mein was good, but the string beans were covered with pork. The menu doesn't state anything about pork, and I don't eat red meat. I didn't want to make it inconvenient, especially after Freddy had been so friendly and generous, so I just scraped off the pork. The hot and sour soup also had bits of pork in it, though it is normally vegetarian. Wonderful service and food, just wished the menu was more clear.
