    $9.25 Wonton Soup
    Chris M.

    Thank you for being open! Hard to review this one because I only ate one item. Giving them a solid 4 stars. 4 stars Wonton soup. Wontons were decent and had some nice flavor. Veggies were good. Broth needs a kick of flavor.

    So oily and greasy

    Cash and card accepted. Lucky Bamboo is located in a small plaza next to Dollar Tree and offers a lot of plaza parking. It is Covid ready with screens and hand sanitizer and doesn't allow seating. I called in my order of Kung Pao shrimp, wonton soup, chicken chow mein, and egg rolls for pick-up on a Saturday afternoon and it was ready in 20 min. I paid $49 after tax and tip. Unfortunately this place gave me a stomachache and I don't know if it was from all the oil and grease or if the shrimp was bad. I would not recommend this place and will not go back.

    We were looking for a Chinese restaurant in Seaside. We hadn't gone to this Chinese restaurant at this Fremont Blvd location in many many years. We realized it's changed hands since then. As we made the turn into the driveway we saw "Lucky Bamboo" signs facing the street side and as we walked up towards the restaurant we saw the sign "Juicy Crab". We were a little confused thinking it might be all seafood but thought we'd take a chance (I live for seafood, my other half does not). We were the only ones there for lunch. The tables were covered with white paper and we thought uh-oh, meant for cracking shellfish and crab! The dining area is as big as any fast food restaurant and had a large tv screen. The menu was about half traditional Chinese and half seafood - a lot of variety, and an abundance of pictures on the walls of their dishes. Service was quick, attentive and courteous and both our lunches off the lunch special menu were heaped generously with traditional Chinese cuisine including a fresh salad and soup. We were both happy to bring leftovers home. I would definitely come back and order from their seafood menu as well as try the other items offered. The only complaint (hence the 4 stars) is the place may have an "identity crisis" - are they "Lucky Bamboo" and/or "Juicy Crab"? We almost turned around and it might do the same for people with an aversion to seafood. Despite the signage we now have a good "new" Chinese restaurant in Seaside!

    This place has changed ownership in the last few years and they've done a great job with their dishes. Everything that we had was flavorful and competitively priced. They also offer dinner menu options for 2 & lunch specials.

    We ordered from here for the first time on New Year's Eve and did pickup. The food was ready in…read moreabout 15 minutes, which was impressive for a holiday, and everything was piping hot and fresh when we got it home. We ordered a wide variety: pork potstickers, veggie egg rolls, crab rangoons, a small hot and sour soup, General Tso's chicken, orange chicken, chicken fried rice, beef chow mein, and honey wall chicken wings. Overall, the food was good for classic Chinese takeout, though the flavors were on the mild side. We're originally from South Louisiana where food is very well seasoned, so this may come down to personal taste (and California tending to have a lighter seasoning style). Even so, the seasoning could have been a little stronger across the board. Spice-wise, everything was extremely mild--our six-year-old could eat everything easily. Next time, I'd probably skip the hot and sour soup (I've had better elsewhere) and the fried rice. The rice had way too many peas and not enough carrots, and the ratio felt off. That said, this is still the best Chinese food we've had in Monterey by far. It doesn't even compare to the other places we've tried, and we'll definitely be ordering again--just knowing to ask for extra seasoning or spice.

    This place was a real surprise to me. I followed directions…read moreand it took me to a little patio tucked away next to a bank - there was an open door to a kitchen and the patio had two plastic tables and chairs. A waitress noticed me quickly and came to ask if had placed an order or needed to. They have a big menu! The lunch specials are amazing deals - a main course, with chow mein, fried rice, and soup! All for less than $15?! In this economy?? So I ordered the cashew chicken and a starter of cheese puffs (wanton). The food was all flavorful, the chow mein had a deliciously satisfying chew, the cheese puffs had a tangy cream cheese filling. I would say there wasn't an abundance of chicken - but there was a lot of other food to make up for it. Oh and complimentary hot green tea! I will definitely come back again!

The lunch specials are pretty good and reasonably priced, especially for this area. There were only two servers working: a younger woman handling cleanup and table setup, and a senior woman taking orders and serving food. The workflow felt a bit unorganized -- it would be smoother if they backed each other up. Overall, the lunch specials were solid and a good value here.
