    Pan seared Pan Fried Pork Dumpling
    Brianna C.

    I came here on a Friday evening at 8:15pm, with about an hour before the restaurant had to close. Already having in my mind what I wanted to order to ensure that I would be out before the place closed to be respectful of the waiting staff. The server was extremely rude from the moment that I walked in. Upon coming in, I was not greeted at all. No Hi, Hello, or anything. The server glanced at me and I asked for a table for 1. In which he turned around with a menu and sat it on a table. He said absolutely nothing to me when doing this. The only thing that this water asked was for my drink order, if I was ready to order food and if I wanted to place anymore orders because the kitchen was closing. He did not crack a smile or try to be kind at all. Was definitely a poor customer service experience, and I was really looking forward to visiting the spot for the first time. While the customer service was terrible, the food was pretty good. I ordered a few dim sum appetizers and was pleasantly surprised by the taste and how fulfilling these small appetizers. In addition, it was such a large selection and all priced very fairly. The food alone would make me return but hopefully the service the next time will be a lot better.

    I ate here for dinner yesterday. It was Saturday, raining and pretty dead inside There was just one other couple eating there at the time. They had one waiter working the front of house and also running the connected Boba Tea shop. I ordered several things, and being by myself, ended up packing up half to go. The 3 out of 4 of the soup dumplings stuck to the parchment. I find this often happens here. I feel the wrappers are way too thick. I asked the waiter to communicate to the cook to try spraying some cooking spray on the parchment before putting in the dumplings. I may help them release better. The other dim sum were all good and hot as usual. I ordered some pineapple steam buns with custard to go. I still recommend the place, even though their soup dumplings could be improved. I also ordered and got some bubble tea (rose milk tea with strawberry popping boba and cheese foam).

    For anyone who has never had Dim Sum, it's like the Spanish Tapas of the Chinese/Cantonese world. We have a few places in Jax that offer these but it can be tough to get a reservation close to Lunar New Year and traditional times for Dim Sum. I found S&R on a yelp search and gave it a try. I got a photo of the DimSum menu (1 page) and their drinks. The restaurant offers many additional dishes, but that was not what I was there for, so I cannot speak to them. We ordered fruit teas in the form of slushies that were absolutely the most fresh and authentically made of fruit slushy I've ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants a true delicious fresh fruit drink experience plus they added benefits of Boba. My husband had the mango and I had the "oh my melon" which !Surprise! Was watermelon, not honey dew or cantaloupe as I assumed. I added strawberry popping boba and was beyond delighted with my drink. We ordered pork dumplings, sia bao steamed buns, soup dumplings (Hallelujah!!), spare ribs (Errrmeergerrd!), and lotus sesame sweet buns. Absolutely delicious, savory, well cooked, not a single disappointment- will definitely come here again! The restaurant was nearly empty on a late Sunday afternoon, but the kitchen was popping with online delivery orders so I know they have solid business. The walls are decorated with wistful and pretty murals in muted green and blue hues, dark wood furniture. Map directions are unfairly pointing you to turn down the wrong road to get there so check your map; it says Riverside, but you have to turn on Margaret Street!

    We were in the mood for Dim Sum and our go-to spot was closed. Man oh man am I glad we stumbled upon this spot. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was amazing. The buns were soft pillows and the filling on everything was just scrumptious. We ordered multiple items on the Dim Sum menu as well as General Tso chicken. AHHHHHMAZING!!! I cannot say enough how good everything was. The waiter was on it as well, our drinks were never empty and food just kept coming out as it was ready. This will definitely be a spot we visit again. I only got 1 photo because as the dishes kept coming we devoured them immediately!

    Service was quick and efficient. Our server was kind . Food was delicious and came out fresh and hot . We ordered beef chow fun and dimsum (shrimp balls , chicken feet , shrimp shumai , pork bean curd) . Definitely coming back with more family and friends . Also loved how they are Cambodian owned .

    Burned shrimp ball
    Eric L.

    Burned oil made fried shrimp balls taste burned. We came at 2:10 pm on a Sunday and the place was empty. We ordered fried shrimp balls, potstickers, and sesame balls. Shrimp balls had a dark brown color and had a distinct burned taste. Potstickers fell apart when picked up. Sesame balls we're ok. I complained to the server and he argued with me. "We have to cook them that way so the inside is cooked". We won't be back.

    One of the best dim sum places in town. The stuffed eggplant is delicious. The main server can come off rude but just give it back to him.

    Have been here a handful of times for their takeout dim sum and boba tea, both of which are great. The dim sum selection is a step up from the other dim sum restaurants in Jax. Hardly anywhere else sells shrimp rice rolls and chicken feet, which are two of my favorites. The prices are also great compared to the other dim sum restaurants around Jax. S & R is everything I need when it comes to filling my dim sum cravings. I tend to do takeout because the restaurant is on the quieter side and there isn't much going on inside. Wish there was music or TVs going, maybe that would invite more people to stay and eat. People who work there are great and accommodating. They have all the chili oil, soy sauce, noodle sauce, and dumpling sauce in containers so that you can enjoy the dim sum at home as you would in the restaurant. **A sleeper dish is the general Tso's chicken, nice lightly breaded pieces of white meat in a flavorful sauce. My favorite general Tso's I've had in Jax so far!

    Pineapple Bun with Egg Custard, Veggie Spring Rolls, Roasted Pork Steamed Bun, Cashew Nut Chicken
    Gabby S.

    Absolutely incredible!! We ordered so many difference dishes and they were all delicious!! 10/10, everything was fantastic! A MUST is the pineapple crusted egg custard buns, it's basically a desert but it's SOO good! I really enjoyed the pork rolls as well, and the vanilla cashew shrimp with rice! You truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu! The service was fairly quick and the price was very reasonable. The shop is quiet, with minimal decorations, and we came with a larger group which they accommodated.

    Mango cheese tea

    I ordered DoorDash from here tonight since I'm in Jacksonville on business this week and everything was very good. The potstickers were the juiciest I've ever had and nicely fried. The steamed pork buns were also very good, although they got a little mushed when delivered. And the beef crepe, although it has a different name, was also good, and it came with a soy dipping sauce. The mango cheese tea was delicious as well. Overall I would order from here again or go to the restaurant if I was visiting the city.

    They had available free parking. This is a no nonsense dim sum restaurant. You don't go here for ambience or small talk with the waiter..... you go here for tasty, fresh dim sum! The waiter seemed a bit serious but was attentive and efficient so I won't complain. I will come back and will recommend you try it!

    Do they have gluten free options for dim sum?

    Yes!! My husband eats gluten free & we love this restaurant!!

    Do they have spicy mustard? Not yellow or Dijon but the one usually eaten with dim sum?

    I do not believe they have spicy mustard. You have to think this is a dim sum restaurant that serves dumplings, noodles and buns steamed or fried. I have seen and used soy sauce, the hot chili oil, and something similar to a duck sauce but I have… Read more

    Do they have the dim sum cart where the staff pushes it to your table so you can see what you want? If so, from what time to what time?

    No, they do not.

We ordered cucumber salad in spicy sauce and soup dumplings. We've never had either dish anywhere. Service was very friendly but we thought at first it was slow for what we ordered.

We got two styles of dumplings: The chicken and cabbage, and the shrimp and chive flavors. We enjoyed the chicken and cabbage one the most. We also got one of our goto's: Turnip Cakes. These were also good, but very soft, almost fall apart. We also got some soup dumplings. I was wondering why they didn't give us any soup spoons, which is customary. Now, I may know why: There was no soup in them. They were soupless dumplings. I also ordered some spare ribs. I thought I ordered some blackbean sauce ones, but maybe I either mis-read the menu or they brought the wrong ones, because these were more like black pepper ribs. Regardless, they were decent, and tender. Even the connective tissue around the bones wasn't too tough. One dish I wouldn't get again was the Rice noodles with bbq pork. It was very bland. They don't have a large menu of non-dim-sum items. The service was decent, and the restaurant isn't very large.

Tucked away off Old St. Augustine Road in Mandarin, Lucky Cat Dim Sum serves some of the freshest dim sum in Jacksonville. Everything arrived steaming hot, a small detail that makes a big difference. Dim sum is meant to be eaten fresh from the basket, not after a leisurely stroll around the dining room. The classics were all excellent. The chicken shu mai were substantial, flavorful, and held together beautifully. The black pepper beef short ribs were fall-apart tender. The fried shrimp balls delivered the kind of crunch that announces itself before the flavor arrives. The barbecue pork bun was pillowy soft and packed with a sweet-savory filling that lingered long after the last bite. Dessert was equally successful. The mango mochi had the ideal chew and was loaded with chunks of ripe mango. The taro Lucky Cat bun, shaped like the restaurant's mascot, could have coasted on appearance alone. Instead, the filling was smooth, lightly sweet, and thoughtfully restrained. What separates Lucky Cat from every other dim sum restaurant in Jacksonville is its willingness to have fun. The menu is filled with East-meets-West creations that could easily become gimmicks in less capable hands. Everything Bagel Buns, Buffalo Chicken Buns, and other familiar flavors offer diners an approachable gateway into the world of dim sum. The standout was the Cheeseburger Shu Mai. It sounds like the sort of thing that should fail spectacularly. Instead, it works. Seasoned ground beef wrapped in a delicate shu mai wrapper and topped with melted cheese. The beef carried a bold Cajun kick, the cheese added richness, and somehow the whole thing remained balanced. It tasted far bigger than a single bite had any right to. I've eaten at every dim sum restaurant Jacksonville has to offer, and Lucky Cat stands at the top of the list. It delivers the classics with confidence while bringing enough creativity to keep even seasoned dim sum fans interested. The best dim sum in Jacksonville, and one of the most enjoyable meals you'll find anywhere in the city.

    Lucky Cat is one of Jacksonville's best hidden gems. It's a casual, always-busy dim sum spot where…read morethe food comes out fresh as it's ready, adding to the experience.

The servers are consistently friendly and welcoming, and while the atmosphere isn't fancy, that's part of the charm. Just great food, great service, and a place you'll find yourself craving again and again.

I always order a lot of dishes because I like what I like and I also know I'll have leftovers. I sent back the pan fried taro pudding because it was so bland and it didn't have many of the main ingredients in it. If it were there, it was so skimpy I didn't find any. (The Chinese sausage and dried shrimp) The pain fries soy sauce noodles were overcooked. It's suppose to be pan fried and it was not. Also very skimpy on the black mushrooms. Not very flavorful. The Steamed shrimp dumplings were mediocre. The skin was gummy and fell apart. The shrimp filling wasn't too bad. The shrimp with rice pasta was probably the best dish there. But it was still lacking in flavor. The steamed ribs with black bean sauce was very bland. The ribs were tough and tasteless. The braised chicken feet were over cooked. The texture was horrible like eating mush. The flavors were also off. The egg tarts looked good but the flavors again were off. Borderline going bad. It had that slight aftertaste of sourness. The shell was also flavorless. The BBQ pork buns were also disappointing. The ratio of bread to filling was off. Very small amount. But I was a little happy this happened because the filling didn't taste good at all. The hot tea was also disappointing. I always order jasmine tea when having dim sum. They used a low quality tea bag instead of real loose jasmine tea leaves which also includes the flowers. No fragrance at all of Jasmine tea. Needless to say, I will not be going back on my next visit. It was very expensive for what they give you. Especially since the food was so bad. I gave it two stars because the service was very good and the view was decent. I am Chinese... born in Hong Kong. So I know what dim sum should taste like. I wish I had seen the review that had a photo of the salt and pepper shrimp before I went because I would not have gone. Their salt and pepper shrimp is not authentic and I would have not gone and saved myself $80 for my lunch.

I had the Sweet & Sour Pork with Fried Rice for my entree, which is the same things had last time and it's still great. Between the appetizer and the soup and the entree, I was hoping to have enough to take home for lunch tomorrow and I definitely did. My wife had the General Chicken. She really liked the sauce because it was sweet but has a little bit of spicy kick to it. She said the same thing I said about the chicken itself; she loved that it was big pieces of juicy white meat. She was also surprised by how much she liked the broccoli which made for one of those things where you could get a bite of everything at once. She also had a lot to take home, so she's happy with that too. Thank you again to the person who posted about Peony in the group recently. We had a great lunch thanks to your reminder.

The first were the deep fried pork dumplings. A bit of sweet ness in your first bite and before I knew it I ate the whole thing..very good. I followed with the fried chicken potstickers. These were amazing!. Cantonese chicken wings were next but that was my "put it in a box to go" item. I did also enjoy a sweet n sour chicken that was so good, not overtaken by veggies but just enough bell peppers and pineapple.Very Tasty.. This place is a true experience and the service was great! Enjoy it with friends or family and check off the box on your places to go in Jax when you visit The Tiki Room..

The staff was incredibly attentive and made us feel well cared for. Once they learned it was our anniversary, everyone greeted us warmly! Best sushi in Jacksonville, hands down! Always so fresh + flavorful with great portions. We ordered the Oceanside and Sand Dollar roll. Oceanside is a MUST try, it truly is the best sushi roll I've had in Jax. The atmosphere is luxurious and feels like you're stepping into a whole new city! Love it here!!!

We started with the edamame, with the sea salt and truffle oil, which is always delicious. The service over the evening was very slow, and we spent a lot of time waiting on food. We sat in our favorite spot at the bar window so our server also appeared the be working behind the bar and was busy making drinks. We love sake and usually get a bottle of the Noble Arrow. We asked for a recommendation and the server recommended the Soul of the Sensei, which is $107 for the bottle. We were celebrating our 24th anniversary so we went for it. He said it was on the dry side, but we found it very unexpectedly sweet, almost like a moskato wine. It wasn't surprising when we read the back of the label and saw the flavor profile was all the way on the fruity side, with notes of Muscat grape. We definitely made a mistake by not tasting it first, so we ended up asking for a bag to take it home and ordered 2 glasses of the Noble Arrow. It was a disappointing start. Next we ordered the yellowtail carpaccio, which was very good, although the size of the fish pieces overall seemed smaller than usual. Everything we ordered over the evening was undeniably tasty, but small. We got the Usuzukuri salmon and when they brought it, they had the tuna carpaccio as well. The person who brought it said it was a gift. Later, we were charged $2 on the bill for the "gift." It's not much, but it's just that giving us a gift and then putting a charge on the bill for it was very strange. Overall, I still love the food at O-Ku, but this was not the best experience. We had gone there previously for our anniversary and they made it feel special. This time there wasn't any kind of recognition besides possibly the "gift" we had to pay extra for. And the service was so slow that we ended up drinking the bottle of sake we didn't like rather than waiting for another drink order. Every place will have its off nights, and this unfortunately seemed to be one of them. I would still recommend going there, because even though the portions are tiny and expensive, the taste is delicious.
