Very pleasant worker. The food was delicious and plentiful. 2 items and rice lasted me for 3 meals. It tasted better each time after being in the fridge and putting some soy sauce on it. Also they have excellent tasting sweet and sour sauce. I don’t go to Panda anymore because they don’t have extra sweet and sour sauce. It costs a little more here but very worth it. I hope it’s the same next time.

I got the barbecue pork and lo mein. The food was pretty tasty. I think I’m used to more Americanized Chinese food as I expected it to have a slightly different flavor. I’m used to sweeter foods, I think. My partner got the orange chicken and it was amazing. Next time I’ll get that instead.

Absolutely the best Chinese food in San Diego. The garlic chicken is sublime. Egg Foo Yung is so good they made it for us even though it’s not on the menu. Just so good overall for this lil hole in the wall!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

I recently tried Lucky Chinese Food and while the service was fast and the portions were generous, I was disappointed with the taste. The chicken in both the kung Pao and orange chicken dishes tasted old and lacked flavor. While the price was moderate, I don’t think it was worth it for the quality of the food. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend Lucky Chinese Food as the taste just wasn’t that great.

Really really tasty food. Orange chicken was great and so were the chicken egg rolls. I also asked for some sweet sour sauce which was awesome. Make sure you ask for some.

This is the best Chinese food in San Diego! I’m from Boston, and I’m a Chinese food snobb. When I moved to SD, there wasn’t a single edible Chinese restaurant in the county. It took years for me to find one that was mediocre. I found Lucky Chinese Food just last month and fell in love. The food is incredible! The egg foo young is amazing! I also love the pork strips. They taste exactly like back east spare ribs. The flavor of the sauce is impossible to find here in SD, but Lucky has it. Their salt and pepper chicken wings are incredible! We just tried their garlic chicken for the 1st time last weekend and were amazed! The hot and sour soup is to die for, and so are their pot stickers. But my favorite dish from them is the lettuce cups, also known as lettuce wraps. They have the perfect mixture of garlic, ginger, and plum sauce with chicken and waterchestnuts. Add crushed up crispy wonton strips to it, and it’s a masterpiece! If you love Chinese food, Lucky is a must!

We dinned in this last Sunday for dinner and it was a good experience. The teriyaki chicken was a little dry, though. The service was great, and our waitress was on top of refills for drinks.
