There is some dining space though their business revolves mostly around takeout/delivery. Needless to say, they're owned and staffed fully by a local family so support local! For those working in the Oak Brook/Downers Grove area, Lucky Wok is a good lunch delivery option. There seems to be a dearth of Chinese takeout within delivery distance relative to the availability of other excellent sit in restaurants. You can't really go wrong with any of the dishes.

FINALLY! I found THE Chinese food place. I've been searching for years to find EXACTLY this type of…read morefood. It reminds me of college and my twenties when I'd eat this after a drunken night out or the next day hungover. The family meal for 2 (beef broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, shrimp fried rice) was LITERALLY PERFECT. Delicious, fresh, flavorful, great portions. I also ordered the tofu with mushroom, and it was so amazing. Great sauces for all the dishes! Chinese restaurant fried rice is a hit or miss a lot, but this was a HIT. My new go-to Chinese food spot!! I'm so happy I took a chance on Lucky Star! It's now in my favorite foods/restaurant rotation when picking dinner.

Tried this place for the first time on Jan 2nd. Ordered a take-out online. The first thing I…read morenoticed was, during the checkout process, the form asked for a tip, and had 20% checked as a default. 20% for what??? Handing me a bag? I got kung pao beef and a couple of other things. The "beef" in the kung pao was so fatty and chewy I could literally not eat it. I kept trying, but it was EVERY PIECE in the container. A total loss. I called to let the restaurant know. The woman who took the call assured me my card would be credited the amount of the item. This was outright FRAUD, as my card was never credited for this food I could not eat. She also said the manager would call me back, which also did not happen. Bad enough the food was inedible, but blatantly lying to me was way over the line. The rest of the items were on the bland side, and I'm not sure if I would have come back. But after what happened, I'm avoiding this place like the plague. I cannot afford to literally throw my money in the garbage.

We came here specifically to try the Filipino food because the Chinese food you can get anywhere…read more When looking for this place, look for New Chinese Kitchen otherwise you'll miss it. It's across the street from Arby's in a small strip mall. You'll definitely have to make a U-Turn because getting into the lot is weird. Plenty of parking since it is a shared lot. We decided to do two combo meals plus the aristocrat chicken. When dining in, there are about 4 tables so it can be limited if there is a rush hour. The owner was very pleasant and he explained about the items before we looked at the menu. Lumpia was crispy and tasty. Garlic rice was a little oily but still good. Overall, it's about a 4. I would have given them a 5 but that rock hard crispy kare kare is hard to forget. However, I'll return to try other items. -crispy kare kare with garlic rice and lumpia 3 - I wanted to like this but the crispy kare kare was a huge let down. It was very tough to eat. I've had Filipino food many times and it was never this hard. It's a shame because the peanut sauce with the veggies and eggplant were delicious. -bbq pork belly (liempo) with garlic rice and lumpia 5 - I really liked the BBQ pork belly. Very easy to cut with a spoon. Meat was well seasoned. It is fatty, so it's best to eat it with rice. -aristocrat chicken 5 - highly recommended. Chicken is extremely flavorful even for leftovers. Meat is very moist and juicy. Nice balance of sweet and salty. I should have gotten the 10 pieces.

So, we ordered 4 things to go: the vegetarian egg rolls, Chicken Almond Ding, Chicken with pea…read morepods, and Orange Chicken. The eggs rolls had very little inside them, but were pleasant enough fried dough. All of the chicken dishes seem to have a pressed chicken--not sliced or real chicken. Pleasant enough, but kind of strange. The Almond Ding had separate almonds, which was nice and Chick with peadpods appeared to have a little bit of real mushrooms and some real pea pods in it--but they lacked fresh flavor. The sauce is very bland, and kind of like a globby-like texture. There's a lack of any Chinese vegetables. No Bok Choy, no bamboo shoots, very few water chestnuts, no green pepper. Just tons of pressed chicken, and a bland white sauce. My husband's Orange Chicken was supposed to be hot but was not. It was pleasant but same pressed chicken now breaded (much better cover for pressed chicken). Lack of veggies in all the dishes. Would we go back? Probably not. Ended up throwing half of it away. Honestly, Panda Express is probably just as good which is kind of sad.

The restaurant had a calm vibe with beautiful decor--perfect for a relaxed birthday celebration for my hubby. But let me tell you, the service was THE BEST. The staff was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing smoothly from start to finish. The food? Absolutely amazing. Every plate was generous, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor. We left with full bellies, empty glasses, leftovers in hand, and big smiles on our faces. A couple of us enjoyed the bottomless mimosas--large pours and consistently refreshed by the staff (yes, there's a time limit, so don't get crazy!). Still, we were pleasantly surprised by how well everything was managed. Hubby was even given a birthday cheesecake which was so moist and free!

What really stands out is the attention to detail. Unlike many buffets that feel neglected, everything here is fresh and well-organized. The tables are spotless, and the food isn't mixed together, which shows a lot of care. The atmosphere is another plus--the music is at a pleasant, low volume, not blaring. Despite it being 1 p.m. on a Sunday, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet, though people were slowly starting to trickle in. I highly recommend this place; it's a great example of a buffet done right.
