Okay so my goal here was to grab some sushi on my way home from work, which for me is a drive from…read moreBuffalo New York to almost Binghamton New York. I researched a few places that have sushi on my way and this one was my choice. I stopped in the day before I was intending on buying anything so I could see where the place is and talk to the staff because I was going to purchase quite a bit. At least more than an average person would typically grab for lunch. So on my way home today, I called them and basically ordered nine sushi rolls. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that they have a lunch special, any three rolls for $13.95. I would have bought them anyways at the regular price but this was kind of a nice bonus. They told me 30 minutes, I got there in 30 minutes, and it wasn't ready yet... Which wasn't really a big deal as they were working on it and I wasn't the only person there. The gentleman rolling the sushi in my humble opinion has some mad skills as he did all nine of my rolls while I sat there and watched and I don't think it took more than about 8 minutes to complete the whole order. I was also pleasantly surprised that they have eel sauce. I'm not sure about other people's experiences however for myself and my wife it's sometimes challenging to find a place that serves sushi and has eel sauce. They packaged it up pretty quick, put a little dab of wasabi on the corner of each little to-go container and I was on my way. I didn't go too far into the place however from what I can see from where I was it seems pretty clean. There's probably about a dozen tables available and a bar area. During both of my visits I had the opportunity to speak with three different employees and all of them were very nice and accommodating. The sushi itself was rather tasty. My wife and I have had sushi from various places and this place is now near the top of our list as far as taste and appearance goes. As I told them when I left earlier with my order, as long as my wife likes it I will most definitely be back, possibly a couple times a month anyways as even though it's 45 minutes from my house, it's on my way home and as far as a quick lunch, it's way better than fast food.

They add a mandatory 18% service charge (tip) to all dine-in orders…read more Their reasoning is that many customers don't leave enough tip. But that doesn't justify forcing it on your customers.

Their lo mein is good. I like the food. One thing I will say is that order ahead. When it is busy they can take a while. While you wait, make a visit to the grocer next store.

I am actually surprised that I haven't left a review yet for lucky kitchen as I have ordered from…read morehere easily over 100 times in the past eight or nine years anyways. This is a very small restaurant that primarily caters to take out orders They do not offer a buffet. They do have two tables indoors that you are welcome to use however if your party is any larger than six people You're not going to have enough chairs You're also going to have a steady stream of people coming in up to the counter to pick up there to go orders while you enjoy your dinner. I have never once that I can remember anyway had a problem with the quality of their food. As I mentioned above I have ordered there numerous times pretty much because the location is right down the road from where I live. Everything is of course prepared fresh as you order it, and in my opinion they are pretty quick. I can go online and place an order... Jump in my car and be there within 15 minutes and I've never had to wait any more than 5 minutes for my food. Usually it's ready when I arrive. Their menu is pretty much standard for most other Chinese food restaurants, however this particular location does have an orange chicken dish. Basically it is as it sounds, similar to a sesame chicken for example however it just has an orange sauce on it. The orange chicken comes in various degrees of hotness which is also a nice touch. Bring this up because I've been to many other Chinese restaurants and I don't recall any of them having orange chicken on their menu. As someone else mentioned in another review I do most often get something for free in my order. Usually it's an egg roll or maybe a small bag of crab rangoon. There have been a few times in the past that I've ordered for six or seven people and upon arriving to pick it up they have told me to just go ahead and grab a 2 l of soda out of the cooler on my way out. This is as I mentioned a very small family-owned restaurant, and although I do see a couple of negative reviews on this list I find it hard to believe that those people leaving those reviews maybe could have gotten their issues resolved by simply approaching the restaurant and talking about it. As far as flavor goes I believe they prepare everything pretty much the same unless you specify you want different. For example the orange chicken basically comes medium hot if you don't say anything. If you want extra hot or mild you need to tell them. So if the dish that you order isn't to your liking as far as taste goes, just let them know... They can easily adjust for you. Parking is super easy and available as this restaurant is located in a small strip mall type setting, with a grocery store and another restaurant on the other end. The parking lot is huge and rarely ever at least on that end of it has very many cars. I would also like to mention that they do accept credit cards with the exception of American Express. Other than that any particular credit card you happen to have, /debit card or obviously cash is acceptable.

Every dish has deep umami flavor and the vegetables are always so fresh. They have many masterfully created sushi rolls, and a great selection of appetizers, too.

The salmon teriyaki, ikamaru, kara age chicken, volcano roll, spider roll, godzilla roll, spicy salmon roll...I could recommend for hours! When in Endicott, don't miss Sakura!
