This place is pretty decent. Didn't know it existed until recently. It's a hidden location.. The service was good the sweet and sour pork in thr pineapple was delicious and the plating was awesome. It's a very clean restaurant as well.. We will be back
Great CHEAP chinese food. good portion sizes, very affordable, and delicious. Make sure you order the dumplings, order them early, as they fry them fresh, and takes 30 mins to come out.
Great authentic food. Lots of large parties which is always a good sign! Only tried fried noodles and gai lan but looking forward to trying the good stuff like Peking duck
Lucky was one of my favourite hidden gems when I use to work near Chinatown. Their lunch specials are very reasonably priced and portions are huge. Quick service, great prices, tasty food... you honestly cannot go wrong.
Pretty good place. I believe the chefs came from harbour city so they are experienced at this. Food is always consistent and for the price you get quite a bit to eat.
Good Recommendation. We tried this place based on the recommendation of a friend and were very pleased with our meal. We were quickly seated (we had reservations) and then moved to another table -- I guess we ordered too many dishes. Our meal began with papaya & carrot soup which I did not have. First to arrive was a radish and beef dish, then fried noodles, snow pea leaves, egg whites and seafood, pineapple sweet and sour pork and ling cod. Everything came in quick succession. Everyone commented how good the food was and that we would gladly return and try the lunch menu too.
I don’t know the name of the dish, but it’s pretty much vermicelli noodles with chicken, onions and green peppers. The gravy is clear, and taste sweet and sour. AC told me that sour taste was from the pickled vegetables. I like the addition of the crunchy peppers and black beans.
Fantastic lunch specials. Lucky is one of my favourite places to go to for lunch. Good food but even better prices! The portions are huge and filling. Dinner menu is straightforward with standard prices and dishes you can find most places. But the lunch specials are fantastic and keeps me coming back on a regular basis!
I’m unique in that I like Chinese food but I have a sesame allergy and have to be careful whenever I go out to eat it. I’ve had multiple occasions where I’ve been assured my food does not have sesame in it, but then it turns out it does. Here, I told the staff about my allergy and found them to be so accommodating and understanding that I felt completely safe (and needless to say I did not have an allergic reaction).
As for the food itself, I came here with a large group of people and we ordered a variety of dishes. Among other things, we had:
Sweet and Sour Pork in a Pineapple
Salt and Pepper Eggplant
Salt and Pepper Squid
Shanghai Rice Vermicelli
Special Fried Noodles
All of the food was excellent. More authentic tasting and far less greasy than Chinese food in Calgary tends to be. The eggplant was a favourite of mine, and the big hit at the table was the Sweet and Sour Pork in Pineapple. I had such a good experience here that from now on whenever someone asks for a recommendation for Chinese food I’m telling them to go to Lucky Place Restaurant. And if I ever find myself in Chinatown looking for good Chinese food, this is where I’m going.
The food is delicious and beautifully presented. Can't wait to go back. If you are reading this, just go! You won't be disappointed.
