" If I could have rated Lucky China higher than five stars, I would! The food here is incredible, and they truly serve the best Mongolian beef around. It’s a little dive, but the food quality speaks for itself. My family has been going here for generations, and every time we've visited, it's been consistently delightful. The staff makes us feel at home, too, which adds to the charm. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has jumped from Chinese restaurant to Chinese restaurant, finally finding Lucky China was like finding a hidden gem! Their chicken with spicy sauce has become my go-to dish, and I have been recommending this place to everyone! The only downside is that the dining area could use some sprucing up, especially the cleanliness of the exterior. Nevertheless, the flavors in the dishes make it all worthwhile. Be prepared for generous portions, too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lucky China is an experience worth having! Their lunch special is unbeatable—the Kung Pao chicken is a must-try. I was surprised at how fresh everything tasted, with bold flavors that really shone through. The fried pork chops were deviously good too! I can honestly say this is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've had the pleasure to eat at, and I can't wait to come back with friends to share! Highly recommend if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Lucky China adhering to several recommendations, and it was all worth it! Their sweet and sour chicken had the perfect balance of flavors, and every bite was enjoyable. The portion sizes ensure that you'll leave with plenty, which is a big plus. However, the place could do with an aesthetic update. Despite that, I will be coming back based on the great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lucky China hits the spot every time! The sweet and sour chicken is hands down my favorite. I love the family style eating which makes it great for sharing with friends. The portions are fantastic without breaking the bank! However, I do wish the decor was a bit more inviting. All in all, it’s a good restaurant that serves authentic Chinese staples that shouldn’t be missed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been visiting Lucky China since I was in college, and it continues to exceed expectations! The flat omelet with seafood is a dish everyone should try—it’s fantastic! The only thing I wish they did better was the decor and atmosphere; it's very plain. Still, the focus on flavor and food quality has always been the highlight for me. Staff are generally friendly which adds to the welcoming feeling. " (*Curated Review*)

" Long-time customer here, and I have to say, I've noticed a slight decline in quality. I hope this isn't the new standard. While the service is always friendly, it was slower than usual on my last visit, and the Kung Pao chicken was decent but not as flavorful as before. I'll keep coming back because there's so much nostalgia associated with this place, but I do wish for a return to the earlier glory days of flavor. " (*Curated Review*)
