I ordered their Mongolian Beef lunch special with vegetable chow mein. They served me some soup first which was passable. The main dish came out with beef, noodles and a small vegetable egg roll. The egg roll tasted like it was previously frozen. The Mongolian beef was excellent, it tasted good with the chow mein which was not overly seasoned. The service was good, water refills were prompt. The ambiance was bare bones Chinese restaurant. read more

Just kinda bland. Ordered the spicy chicken and chow mein combo and an order of potstickers. The chicken was ok, not spicy unless you got a slice of jalapeño. Chow mein was good a greasy, but not much in the way of ingredients as far as mushrooms, carrots, onion or carrots. Plenty of pork, though. The potstickers were weird. DEFINITELY OUT OF A BAG. The wrapper was flakey like pie crust, not like normal potstickers. The chicken inside was pretty flavorful. I won't go back. There are better places for less $$$. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Food quality has significantly decreased. Waitress doesn't fully understand English. She said we no have green onions.

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 read more

So the food isn't bad. Their Thai Tea is actually my favorite Thai Tea all over Sacramento. The problem is, is this one particular lady who works in the front. She is so flipping rude. On multiple occasions over the past year, I've come in to order or order over the phone; she's argumentative, interrupts you, and I've seen her straight up ignore customers in person who were there to place orders. The last straw for me was in a 1 months span, I had called multiple times for a possible delivery and the same lady always said "no driver today, order door dash." I totally understand there not being a driver available, but different days, no consistency? It's not like I called every Sunday and they said they don't deliver on Sundays, it was random days and times. I've gotten delivery before so I know they offer it. I would only eat here in person because that seems like the only way they will be kind to you. read more

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.

Hands down the best hot and sour soup I have ever tried! It is silky, tangy, and slightly spicy.

This place is a hidden gem for anyone who truly appreciates high-quality Chinese cuisine. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and the flavors are perfectly balanced--nothing feels heavy or over-salted. every bite was consistent and delicious. It's rare to find a spot where the kitchen clearly puts this much care into every plate. Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

Lucky Wok - Looks good, unfortunately it doesn't taste good. No veggies in the chow mein and greasy fishy tasting food. - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Not so lucky wok! Love this place on the real though! Great service, atmosphere, food and prices!

Lucky Wok is seriously underrated! This is my favorite restaurant. They have the BEST salt & pepper wings in town -- hands down. The combination plates are always my go-to, and you definitely get your money's worth. The portions are generous, the food is flavorful, and the prices are very reasonable. It's great family-style food and absolutely worth it for the portion size and cost. I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

When on Watt Avenue, do this! I recently returned to my old stomping grounds (Watt, Arden, El Camino area in Sacramento, CA). I do not know if there are new owners and cooks, but it's the same building. They don't offer the buffet that I remember from 30 years ago, and the plexiglass still separates you from the friendly, warm-smiled hostess/cashier (thank you, COVID), but the menu is still as extensive as the friendly staff. This leads me to believe the business was able to stay open through the hardships off 2020-2021!!! We decided to order the FWC (Foil-Wrapped Chicken) to take back yo the hotel. Yup! Still just as good as I remember. read more

This restaurant is very tasty for the orders my husband and I repeatedly order. Combo plates do not come with egg rolls. But, the lunches do. We get Salt and pepper chicken, chicken chow mein, and pork fried rice. My husband gets salt and pepper shrimp. I do all noodles, he does all pork fried rice. We ask for both dishes to be extra spicy, meaning they put more jalapeños. The batter on both proteins is light and crispy. It's like if McDonald's chicken nuggets were this type of batter, they would be bomb. So TY Lucky Wok! I also get the potstickers. Huge! Nice crisp on bottom and not too thick of dough. Plenty of filing. I appreciate how friendly they are and will answer any questions without hesitation. We get to-go once a week. Never disappoints. It's located on Watt Avenue in Arden Arcade across street from Petsmart and Smart and final. They are quick too. The hot tea is good and the egg flower soup is good. Only drawback is no alcohol. That would be awesome. Oh, price wise is amazing for the portion size. See pictures please. Love, Lincoln and Crystal Dupree. read more

Food was great, honey walnut shrimp for my wife & I had sesame chicken. The service was fine & the restaurant was comfortable & clean.

We picked up from Lucky Wok last week on one of the rainy night. It was soooooo good. It also tasted better as leftovers. The broccoli was all so green and fresh, we didn't think correctly when ordering and had so much but not complaining about it at all. The service was quick and nice, we ordered and picked up within 20 minutes:) Soon again we will go to dine in! Thanks! read more

Here is my two cents on the quality, taste quantity of the food plus delivery.. My food was delivered in a timely matter where everything was still hot. Thank you, GrubHub. .. I'll order barbecue Chow Mein, , Mongolian beef, , Hot and Sour Soup and 8 Prawns.. Oh, I enjoyed each and everyone of the entrée they do seem to be shrinking in size except for the barbecue chow mein It was quite hefty. with lots and lots of noodles. . I do always ask for all my orders to be extra spicy, and they seem to be very reluctant to kick it up five or six notches .. Oh, we're all I found the food quite tasty and we'll definitely re-order again read more

Love this restaurant. Best Chinese food in sac imo. However, the only reason there's not 5 stars is because when you ask for extra sauces the workers act as if it comes out of their paycheck. They will even lie and say that it's "in the bag" when it's not. This happened today. The lady was VISIBLY irritated because i noticed she only put one sauce when i asked for two. She also lied and said some was already in the bag. Spending a minimum of $50 every time i order here should surely be worth two tiny sauces. Sheesh. read more

Food is great but it did suck to come in and pick up and have to wait 10 min even though I can see the bag already prepared. Just wish picking up would be easier. Other than that quality is great. Flavor is there and would consider it in a crunch. Definitely worth the try and you won't be disappointed. read more

Resturant presents as Dirty. It seems like one person working the kitchen and one doing everything else? the bussing and wait service and phone. He informs people that he will not get to their order for at least 20 minutes after you wait 5 minutes to be seated. The 5 front tables are all dirty - dishes removed but food bits all over them. Carpet is dirty too. There is a lunch special but if you want 1/2 rice and 1/ chowmein, then there is a $2 up charge- so if with some one else each should choose all one or the other then Sharon save $4+. Some interesting customers too, 2 tables with people playing videos very loud and a Chinese language news channel cranked up as well as Chinese men talking super loud at each other from tables on opposite sides of restaurant. People enter and ask for something to wipe off the tables. Eggflower soup smelled bad? So did not taste it. The sweet and sour chicken is as I remember it was when I last ate here a long time back. Breaded but very tasty. Chow main is standard and extra salty. If I actually ever eat here again, it will be an à la cart to go order for sure. read more

I didn't like the service. The guy who was supposed to make our order was busy with something in the back room and ask another guy to take order from us and that guy looked very irritated. There was only me in the restaurants no other customer. I was trying to take to go order. Regarding the food Orange chicken was old , rise was ok . Kung pao chicken test less but very spicy.no flavor. Nudels was good . My order was ready within 5 min . But food was so hot and felt like they just hit it up in the microwave. Don't think I'll be back for food , but my Thai ice tea was good . read more
