Rude service, they were bothered by us asking for utensils . Hot and soup soup did not have tofu as listed.

The place advertises as Cajun, but Chinese-dishes are also served. We ordered the fried calamari, Mongolian beef, and shrimp fried rice for a party of six. I was satisfied with the speed our dishes were cooked and brought out, but the meal left much to be desired. The fried calamari came in a small paper tray with less than 10 pieces; each fried round being a bit larger than a quarter and it arrived with ranch. Mongolian beef could've been great if it wasn't for the excessive use of sweet dark soy sauce and sugar. It had a noticeable molasses and soy flavor that was candy-like. Our shrimp fried rice came moist and steamy. It looked sloppily cooked, which is unbelievable considering they made it in a wok...there was also only 4 shrimps hiding in the mountain of fried rice. The dish had little flavor. Soy sauce is needed to give the rice some depth. I wouldn't recommend this place if you want at minimum, "good" Chinese food. Portion sizes are generous for entrees, but the flavors are quite uninspired and bland. read more

Food is ok, very large portion and reasonably priced. Only downside is the amount of time it takes for it to arrive. We waited for probably 1 hour. Looks like there was only 1 chef there. read more

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. read more

Lucky Bamboo - $9.25 Wonton Soup - Chinese Near Me - Seaside, California

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. read more

Lucky Bamboo - So oily and greasy - Chinese Near Me - Seaside, California

So my family and I live less than a mile from this place and have eaten here with the previous owners as well as the current for years and years. We eat here about once a month and have honestly never had a bad experience. Not sure how they've had so many bad reviews because I love the new owners. We do stick to the same items though so I can only attest to the greatness of what we order. Our go to items are -any kind of chow mein, salt and pepper pork chop or chicken, sweet and sour pork, broccoli/oyster sauce beef, and we do enjoy their honey walnut shrimp as well. Have yet to try their crab boil stuff but maybe one day! read more

Food was delicious. Service was fast and great. The new Owner decorated the place Chinese and Filipino style, nicely done

This used to be my go to for Chinese. My wife and I were so confused when we saw a Cajun themed juicy crab menu and signage. (First red flag). This had never been there before in the past. We ordered sizzling rice soup, hot and sour soup (1 gigantic size bowl only), pork buns, egg rolls, chow fun, and Mongolian Beef. The hot and sour soup was the hottest I've ever had. I thought it was just me and took it as a loss. The sizzling rice soup had a layer of brown oil that neither my wife nor I have ever seen. The egg rolls and pork buns were microwaved (second red flag - also you can hear it from the dinning room). The pork buns tasted similar to frozen Costco ones I buy. The chow fun had clumps of noodles stuck together and were super over cooked to point it was chewy. The Mongolian beef was alright but quality has definitely declined since our last visit. All in all we're not going back. All that money wasted 73$ for food that we're just going to throw away. read more

service was great. restaurant is clean,.. Kung poa chicken was tasty. I was very satisfied and the portions of the meal were very good size,.. I will be back again for another meal,.. maybe it will be for one of those delicious lunch specials read more

Take-out Chinese. All dishes were excellent! Wasn't sure they were still open because the Cajun Seafood signage is so dominant I was worried Lucky Bamboo was gone. read more

My sister was in town visiting and since she loves pork fried rice, we decided to call in an order to Lucky Bamboo one night. We ordered her mandatory orders - pork fried rice and orange chicken. It was ready in about 10-15 minutes so we picked it up and made a short 5 min drive home. About 10 min later we ate. Unfortunately, by then, the orange chicken was pretty soggy. We kinda expect that with takeout but in addition to soggy, it seemed to be almost all breading. The breading to chicken ratio was really off. So off that, even though we rarely waste food, the majority of it is still in my fridge. The pork fried rice was pretty good, if not a little dry. I liked all the veggies and the charsu-style pork in it. My sister used a lot of soy sauce. lol Soooo... I will give it one more chance and am hoping for a better experience next time. Everyone else seems to love it so many Sunday was just an off night. Might see ya there. read more

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! read more

Our server was really good to us. The Chinese food here is good. Our soups came with a good balance of veggies and meat. Healthy and tasty. I would come back. read more

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. read more

I have come here since I was a kid! The previous owners sold it and I have to say they left it in good hands. The new owner is kind and very open to making the customers happy. If there is something you want changed or maybe a little different he is willing to make the changes to make his customers happy! It's nice to come into a restaurant where you feel welcomed! It's almost like coming over to a friends home and enjoying a good laugh and meal. I will be a loyal customer for sure! Also if you ever want extra meat the $2.00 are worth it! He really hooks it up! After a gym work out I don't feel too guilty eating my cheat meal because everything is made fresh and with consideration to the customer! Best place in town read more

Wow. This place was amazing. So fresh. I got the broccoli beef. And that was the most fresh and tender beef I've ever had at a Chinese joint. Soooo satisfied. Excellent staff too read more

Tonight was my first time here and I loved it! Clean restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Thanks guys! We'll be back :)

I just love their food. It's my go-to spot when I want good shrimp fried rice. They give large portions that are enough to feed my family and have leftovers. Just wanted to say this since I ordered form another place when they were closed and was so sad with portion size and amount of shrimp. Had to give props to where it is deserved. Keep up the great work. read more

We enjoyed our food and our waitress was wonderful :) We ordered the Cheese Wontons 9/10, the Shrimp Fried Rice 6/10, and the Black Mushroom Tofu 7/10. read more

I had the lunch special of King Pao Chicken. It was delicious. The salad was fresh and dressing tasty, egg roll crispy, and egg drop soup steaming hot. The portion was quite big and price very good. We'll be back for sure! read more

I've never received bad food from this restaurant. Great tasting and the portions are huge! I eat here a lot and will continue. Thank you!!

I have been coming here for 3 years now. This is my favorite place for To-go Chinese food. The family that runs this place are very nice. The food is really good. Im surprise with some of the bad reviews. I have had family visiting from the Bay Area and they loved the food as well. read more

Been moving, and no time to cook. It was a Monday, our fav Chinese food restaurant was closed. We ordered from this place. Food was not great. We ordered three different main courses. Not one was good. Broccoli beef, nothing but broccoli. MAYBE 6-8 pieces if we were lucky. Shrimp with veges? All veges again, counted 6 shrimp. Chow mein? Umm, nope. Will never order again. The guy with whom I spoke with, very friendly, hubby picked up food, he also said the gentleman was very friendly. Sorry, but we won't order from here again. We expect a protein with our veges. Not just pay for broccoli and mixed veges. Yes, the veges we're cooked perfect. Not overdone, I will give them that. read more

This place is great, not only is the food really good but the service is also great and friendly. You don't see too often when the cooks actually come out to the table, it just gives it a very homey feel. And the prices are fair for the portions, and the portions are very generously sized. I must say most Asian restaurants have a very grimy feel when you enter and sit down at the table, this place does not. This place is very clean and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area or passing through. read more

If you've grown up eating Chinese food or you are from the San Francisco Bay Area with hella good Chinese food do NOT eat here. You will be extremely disappointed. Walnut shrimp had syrupy lemon sauce on top and the beef in the crispy noodle was a tiny bit gamey. The vegetables were undercooked and so clearly not cooked in the sauce as they are supposed to be. The noodles also seemed to be fried earlier in the day or in oil that had been used already to fry something else. It is not Chinese nor even Asian run. Clearly the positive reviews from diners are not accustomed to Chinese food. read more

This was the best wonton soup I have had in years. The broth was tasty the carrots mushrooms and cabbage was perfect, not over cooked. The wontons were meaty and delicious. I opted for the combination so plenty of shrimp chicken pork and beef. I would go back just for the soup! Fried rice egg rolls and crab wontons were good but the soup was the star!!!!Pork Fried RiceWonton Soup Walnut Shrimp read more

Waitress is very friend. Restaurant is very clean. Price is reasonable and taste good. Seaside best chinese restaurant than other around here. read more

I had pancit with shrimp. It was really tasty and there were plenty of large shrimp in it. We also had shrimp fried rice and I can say the same about that dish. The crab rangoons were not greasy so that was a big plus and my husband enjoyed his Kung Pao chicken. *The only thing we do not like is that the entrees do not automatically come with rice. This must be a local thing. We are from the Midwest and every Asian restaurant there serves there entrees with rice. So just be aware that if you want rice with your entrée, you need to order it. We forgot so my hubby did not enjoy his dish as much as he would have with rice. ***This is not specific to Lucky Bamboo either. All the Asian places we have tried in the area do the same. read more

Found this quaint little hole in the wall on our way to monterey. At first I questioned even going in, as the surrounding area and businesses are very sketchy and ghetto looking, but my sister was craving it based off the yelp reviews, so we went it. I was pleasantly surprised!! Service was nice and our food came out fast and soooo delicious. We ordered the combo appetizer plate and the house pan fried noodle platter with a side of fried rice.... sooo good! The noodles on the house pan platter were so crispy and had a golden flavor to it. And the rice was perfectly fluffy! Best of all, the food wasn't over done or greasy. Just perfect. We ate till we almost burst. I'm so sad that this place is two hours away from home, but I will definitely be coming back. read more

Had high hopes for this place. Good menu, clean inside and friendly counter person. Sadly the food was mediocre at best. No rice or noodles were included despite pricing that you would expect would include these basics. I ordered Kung Pao beef and it could have been any soy based veg and beef dish. No hint of spice or pow in the Pao. Tempura veg was meh. Might have been a bad day for the chef, but we spent $45 on lunch with tip and wish I had that $ back. read more

First time here and I have to say it is awesome. Did not expected such great food. Yes it may not be what your used to but I do recommend this place. Service was great not too busy at the time we went. Iced tea is very flavorful for me. I love jasmine green tea. Place is smaller than we have been to. But usually the small whole in the walls have the tastiest food. Recommend the spicy fish w/basil. My wife loved it and she can not do spicy. I don't know if the cheese cake we gotten was a regular dessert but my wife recommends. Ask for it. The owner is awesome and very friendly and inviting. I am not saying it is the best place over any other but for our family we will always make it a restaurant that we frequent. Egg foo yung was different from what we are used to but it was great. We frequent the Luck Bamboo in Gonzales CA. And now we have another one that is on our way to Monterey. The one in Gonzales is awesome as well. read more

I was really excited to try this restaurant yesterday and was very disappointed. I put in an order through doordash and they didn't have my food ready until 1 hours after my request. My dasher has to wait for my food. Then we finally get it and it's very bland with no flavor. I ordered the eggplant special and it was so spicy I couldn't eat it and had shrimp in it. I didn't order any of that to be in my eggplant. The fried rice was flavorless and dry, also the potstickers, and the orange chicken was nothing fancy and not sweet. The only thing that tasted great was their sizzling rice soup! We won't be eating there again. read more

Absolutely no business offering seafood on their menu...the food actually looked and tasted like the person who prepared it had no idea what they were doing. Everything was bland and thrown in the same sauce and seasoning. Too much going on in this establishment. read more

As a Chinese person I'm usually more picky with my Asian restaurants. This place is run by a man and wife duo. Food is really yummy other than a little salty. The chef came out to our table and made recommendations based on our palate. Cute, cozy diner style. Could be a good place for first few dates for hipsters. read more

Our go to spot for some tasty Chinese food. We always try something new each time and each time we are extremely happy with our choice. Staff is super friendly and they even helped cater my work party. Online ordering is also super easy! read more
