    Soup is a liquid dish typically prepared with water, broth (meat, fish, or vegetable), or milk. It contains various ingredients. In this case, a sea of ​​produce and vegetables. But here, it seemed to be a vegetable broth with a significant seafood content. Which, of course, greatly spoiled the soup's perception. We used to order soup at this place all the time, but today was apparently our last time. No one even wanted to finish it. A whole bunch of carrots and broccoli. Thanks, but let's change the soup's name to the real thing: carrot, broccoli, and seafood soup.

    Peking pork

    This building was home to Chung King. Probably one of my favorite Chinese buffets growing up as a kid in the 90's and 2000's. Along with Luau Garden, Chung King served fresh Chinese food and endless amounts of it. So when I was in the area I decided to stop by and support a familiar place. Located right off Watt Avenue, Lucky Wok is a more than decent Chinese restaurant. My experience eating here was a good one thanks to the young man who waited on me. He was courteous and attentive. Food here was a solid 3.5/5 stars. Fried prawns stood out best. Big pieces of shrimp in a nice batter. The hot mustard sauce here is no joke. Go light unless you got a death wish! Peking pork here was cooked perfectly. I loved their sauce it was covered in. I'd return just for that dish. The Singapore noodles threw me off. They had a curry base despite not looking like they did in the picture. But I enjoyed all the veggies in it and I still ate it all. There was a female worker who talked on speaker phone the entire time lol. Her voiced echoed throughout the entire restaurant. I was the only customer and I wasn't going to say anything. Although Chung King is long gone it's nice to know a traditional Chinese eatery took over. Their food is worth a try as it's made fresh and the portions are huge, also it's pretty good!

    Sweet & Sour Pork with Chowmein Delicious.

    Was passing through the neighborhood starving. This place came up with good ratings. I ordered to go an hour before closing. And was skeptical of how my food would be prepared... I took the chance anyway. I ordered the sweet & sour pork combo, salt & pepper pork & hot & sour soup. Let me tell you - no regrets! It's exactly the flavor that I've been craving a missing. With a few restaurants disappointing me not too long ago, this was such a great surprise. The food was prepared well. Chowmein not greasy. Cooked perfectly with a lot of flavor. The sweet & sour sauce was just saucy enough. A perfect merry of sweet & tinge of the sour tang. The hot & sour soup was perfection. Exactly what I needed in this 40 degree weather. They did NOT skimp on the soup fillings either. They definitely didn't rush to make or short my meal of any seasoning at all. Highly recommend!

    Potstickers

    First time ever trying the food here at this Chinese spot. I did pick up and was greeted very quickly by a lovely man. The ambiance inside was observed to be clean but also empty. It was about 230pm on a Thursday so lunch special ends at 3pm everyday. I got my food and came back to work and the food was okay for the price. The General Chicken was soaked in the sauce as you can see in the pic, the Chow Mein was meh. The potstickers were really good though! I kinda felt like the general chicken and the chow mein was missing some flavors but I did love how my food was really hot when I picked it up and then driving back to my work. It's not a bad place to order it but for me I will try their dinner specials and see if I want to go back again.

    I purchase some war wonton soup I wasn't feeling well. The soup I can't say much about it because when I got home I put some mama noodles in it with the season packet so it's good now but here's my complaint The pork that they put in the soup is old you can taste that flavor when pork is old how dare they everything should be fresh I'm going to put this picture of this piece of pork up I threw the rest of it away I kept this piece because they pretty much all look the same The service was great very nice people The ambience I only have one problem with that When you own a restaurant you need to keep everything clean including your inside doors they shouldn't be black I should have took a picture of that it was horrifying about his horrifying is this piece of shitty meat. Don't put day old three day old or whatever the case may be meat on a customer's plate in their soup or otherwise

    Seafood Rice Noodle Soup, Chicken Chow Mein,Mongolian Beef,French fries.

    I and my family first time this place. A menu with a wide variety of dishes. All so good and fresh!

    General Chicken & Fried Rice
    Sam S.

    Dined in and had the General Chicken with Fried Rice combo for dinner tonight. The fried rice visually appeared ok, but was slimy upon taste. There were a few hard pieces of rice also. I concluded that the rice served to me was old and overdue. Nice people in the front but should not be serving old rice to customers. tsk tsk

    Salt & pepper prawns combo
    Alejandra G.

    Food is really good I ordered the pawns combo. Comes with complimentary soup & a side of rice. The price is supper affordable for the large portions ! The servers was very attentive. Bright us some hot sauces and tea. Restaurant can get loud during busy times. But for lunch and after it's pretty quiet.

    Looks good, unfortunately it doesn't taste good. No veggies in the chow mein and greasy fishy tasting food.
    Ashley B.

    I had a friend tell me to try this place again and that it must have been an off day. So, I tried their food again, and it was VERY GOOD! I have since then ordered a couple more times after my great experience and those other times were great too! Portions for the lunch special are a good amount, and plenty for left over. Food is not soaked in grease and the vegetables are fresh perfectly cooked. If you're in the area and in the mood for Chinese food, give them a try.

    Yue Huang in the Natomas area earns its hype in the Sac area. There is almost always a line for dim…read moresum on the weekends so be prepared for that. YH is a fun place to go to because the exterior and bathrooms scream Macaroni Grill, but walking inside it becomes a classic Chinese dim sum banquet hall! This review is based on their dim sum menu. Yue Huang has a bunch of options and my wife and I intend to eat through their entire menu to try to distill our favorite things. So far we have thoroughly enjoyed their shanghai pan-fried buns, steam rice roll w/breadstick, steam golden shrimp rice roll, and crispy pork belly. I highly recommend you go with a group of adventurous eaters because as any good dim sum veteran knows: more people means more dishes you can try!

    After not eating all day, by 6:00 we were in the mood for some dumplings. After searching for…read more"Dumplings near me" we picked Yue Huang. The AI said it was top rated, and we had never been. By 7pm the dining room was busy, many of the parties Asian We ordered a pot of tea, crispy pork, potstickers, roast duck, honey bbq pork and the house noodle dish Yue Huang Chow Fun which had shrimp and chicken. THE PROS: Nice sit down restaurant decor. Large tables and cushy upholstered chairs. Not a strip mall cubicle. They have actually been awarded Michelin Honors three times. Portions were good sized, and flavors were nice. THE CONS: Unfortunately, we were underwhelmed by everything. All of the dishes arrived just warm. Staff never checked on us - not once - until we asked for some to-go boxes. They have two large tvs in the dining room, showing a loop of the restaurant I'm currently sitting in. The music in the dining area must have been on "Slow Girl Ballad" station on Spotify's free tier- as we honestly listed to a 10 min Samsung commercial in between songs - and not at a low volume. BOTTOM LINE: Maybe we were the exception- as there were clearly enough patrons to show it is a popular - but nothing about our experience made us want to come again. I guess we didn't see what the Michelin people saw. PRICE: $80

    A great spot for a solid Chinese meal--and surprisingly, an amazing banana cream pie!…read more The service was friendly overall, although our table wasn't checked on very often since it was so busy. That said, the food more than made up for it. Our favorite dish by far was the Spicy Calamari with Basil. It's something I'd absolutely come back for--the calamari was tender with a great texture, and the sweet, savory flavors paired perfectly with everything else we ordered. The Garlic Chili Green Beans were another standout. They had great flavor and still retained a nice crunch instead of being overly soft, giving them the perfect stir-fried texture. The Vegetable Chow Fun (with beef added) was decent but a little dry for my taste, so it's probably not something I'd order again. By the end of the meal we were completely stuffed, but we couldn't resist trying the banana cream pie. It looked huge when it arrived, and we honestly didn't think we'd finish it--but it was so delicious that we ended up eating the whole thing. Definitely don't skip dessert! I also appreciated that when I asked for hot sauce, they brought out several different options to try, including what seemed like a garlic chili sauce, chili crisp, hot mustard, and sweet and sour sauce. It was a fun touch that let us customize each bite. The restaurant also has a lot of history and character. We walked in casually without realizing it was a more upscale sit-down restaurant, but it ended up being one of the highlights of our day. If you go, the Spicy Calamari with Basil and the banana cream pie are absolute must-orders!

My goal is to come here during dine downtown week in January to try that menu since I hear it's worth it. For parking, it's either street parking or you can do valet parking in the garage right next door. There is no self parking in the garage. Street parking is self parking. The restaurant itself is like a long, large hallway. When you walk in, your greeted by the host desk. Then you walk towards the back and pass a bunch of booths, tables and the bar area to the right. It's built like a Craftsman style layout. When I was here recently, it was for a friend's birthday and there was a group of 10+ of us. They only do family style food so our group was split into 2 tables and each table ordered their own entrees and meals to eat family style. I was at a table of perks I had just met that night, but we had no issues sharing plates. This may not be for everyone, do you can still order your own entrees, but there won't be much variety if you don't have a lot of people. The food was good. We ordered wallet shrimp, Buddha's delight, the curry noodles/chow mein, garlic green beans and chicken chow mein. All three good was good. I would say it's above average and comparable to Din Tai Fung, but a bit cheaper. I liked the walnut shrimp, garlic green beans and buddhas delight. Service was decent. It could've been better, but could've been worse. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. I'll be back when dine downtown rolls around.

I'll have to keep an eye out for their next review, because whatever they had looked delish! I waited in the car for a bit and then when the order still needed a few more minutes I popped into the dollar store next door to kill a bit more time. Before I knew it my order was ready to go. They packed everything really nicely and we served it up as soon as we got home. Their rice noodle rolls are so flavorful and I love the sweet, salty and savory sauce that comes with it. The noodles are really filling, and the dishes we got would be enough food for 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are. We ate the rice rolls right away and then had leftover green beans and beef and mushrooms for lunch today. The green beans were fresh and had a great garlic flavor, without it being too much. The Beef and Mushrooms was great, the beef was tender and flavorful and the mushrooms soaked up all the sauce. There were also green beans in this dish, which was a perfect addition. I really need to dine in soon for the full experience, but take-out has always been a win for me.
