Reviews Summary
Lucky Family Restaurant is lauded for its generous portions of delicious, classic Chinese food and exceptionally fast, friendly service that evokes nostalgic comfort. While many praise the authentic flavors and great value, a few reviewers have noted a decline in food quality and service, with specific dishes like dry ribs and ginger beef receiving criticism.
"Such a wonderful family who owns the restaurant. They have fed my family and I for many years and it’s always been consistently good food and good service from the family. Prices are more than fair and service is always amazing. If we ever have a birthday celebration supper, they’ve always let us decorate a table and make it more special. They go above and beyond. Thank you guys for everything!"

"First visit to Lucky's Family Restaurant on the long weekend. Was welcomed by staff and even customers when walking in. Service was fast and friendly and helpful.
A lot of other Chinese restaurant could take some notes from this places... The Deep Fried wontons were on point. The sweet and sour Chicken balls had actual chucks on chicken in them unlike most places where there is more batter the meat. The sweet and sour pork was very tasty as well. Chicken fried rice was good not oily like some places. I would highly recommend this family restaurant to anyone looking for quick meal that will satisfy your hunger."

"Had dinner here after we saw some recommendations on social media.
We were greeted warmly by the host, she told us we can choose any table we want. Great ambiance, very clean, the place is very spacious and our host/server was very friendly. They had a very kitchen with lots of orders being called out. Must be fun working in their kitchen! We checked our menu and put in our orders and to my surprise, our orders were served super-fast! The servings were huge!!! We got the special fried rice (comes with beef, shrimp & veggies), curried beef (soft, thin slices of beef with fresh, crunchy veggies made with a savory curry sauce), the well-loved spicy fried calamari and my wife’s favorite schezhuan pork ribs. It was a feast! We enjoyed the food but we can’t finished everything. Our host was mindful enough to bring us takeout packs and we were so happy with the service! We’ll definitely return here - for the food and the awesome service!"
