Pork Xiao Long Bao
Sam M.

My friends and I ate dinner at Lucky Bao a few weeks ago. Wow - Such an improvement over the restaurant that used to be in this location. We went on a Thursday evening around 6pm and there only a few other parties inside, so we got a table immediately. Service was great. Our server was super friendly and did his best to explain the menu for us and provide recommendations. For food we ordered the Broccoli with Garlic Sauce, Beef with Green Beans, Pork Chow Mein, Pork Xiao Long Bao, Hot & Crispy Chicken, Scallion Pancakes, and French Fries. All the food was delicious and came out hot and fresh. No complaints at all. In addition to the smorgasbord we already ordered, there were probably another 10 things we wanted to try - next time! Looking forward to coming back and trying some of their other menu items soon!

Came here with a friend for lunch and it was pretty quiet, but people started to slowly come in. The staff could not have been sweeter. The food came out quickly. I ordered the kung pao shrimp from the lunch menu. The egg drop soup was very salty- I could only have a few spoonfuls. The chili oil was also so good and was a great spice. Overall, my meal was good but a bit on the salty side. A bit bummed there wasn't a veggie or shrimp option for the noodles (although they may have been able to accommodate if I asked).

Soup dumplings (xiao long bao) So soupy and delicious!
Scott P.

I honestly thought that I had already reviewed this spot, but here we are. They're fantastic! Everything here is solid, especially the Chongking chicken!! If you ask for extra ma la they'll put in a hefty dose of Szechuan peppercorns, so come here and try something new! All of their dim sum are fantastic- at this point I've tried pretty much everything here and I've loved it all. Even the beed and eel bowl- it sounds weird but try it out and you'll love it!!

Dry pot chicken wings
Payeng L.

I was craving dim sum and Chinese food and remembered that this place just opened. I'm on the west side of the city so I was excited to try this place. We arrived right as they opened, and were greeted and seated right away. The staff were super friendly & welcoming. The place was clean and bright. We orders the sticky rice in lotus leaf, pork dumplings in chili oil, dry pot chicken wings and the dry pot pork ribs. Everything we had was so flavorful & tasty! The spare ribs were tender and the chicken wings were cooked to perfection; it was moist & tender and the skin was crispy! Yum! And then the pork dumplings & sticky rice in lotus leaf was icing on the cake and definitely cured the dim sum craving! I would have ordered more but I knew I couldn't finish everything! Overall, great experience, delicious food! We will be back!

Beef chow mein to go
Jenna C.

Nice and simple dumpling soup I was helped by two new servers that were slightly awkward but helpful and kind. I also got beef chow mein to go and a dr.pepper. With tip everything came out to $40

Wonton soup
Jeremy M.

Ordered beef noodle soup but received wonton soup instead. The noodles didn't taste homemade and resembled pasta more. The soup was salty, and the Pork Xiao Long Bao tasted like it was frozen and reheated. There was little to no flavor in the Pork Xiao Long Bao. I wanted un to like this place, but it was disappointing.

Bao bun
Taylor Marie B.

I would actually give it 2-3 stars but they deserve a shot. I went to this place excited to review about a month ago. Then I decided not to because it was so disappointing. The people are great. Absolutely amazing service. No complains, very clean, etc. however- we don't have any bao places on this side of town so this place could be packed daily, but the food is why it's not. Please correct me if I am wrong, but this mostly seems like frozen food. It was edible, not saying it's absolutely gross or anything. But it really does seem like the same $3-$4 buns from any Asian Grocery. Most restaurants use frozen food to some extent, but if the name is lucky bao... I was thinking pretty fresh and things you can't just go buy. Please take this feed back because it could be packed and Goodyear wants fresh Asian food. The egg drop soup was really good. The bao buns need a sauce or more fat because they are pretty dry.

Mongolian Beef

Everything was SO good! We ordered the orange chicken, scallion pancakes, mongolian beef, cucumber salad, and XLB, and every single dish was delicious. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a great spot and we'll be back!

Bbq Bao and pork xiou
Mary B.

Our family visited Lucky Bao for lunch and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! The Pan Fried potstickers were cooked perfectly, with plenty to share. The fried rice and noodles were perfect sides to our honey, sweet and sour, and sesame chicken plates! The bbq pork bao buns were unbelievably perfect!!! And everything else that I'm forgetting to mention was still noteworthy. I highly recommend Lucky Bao! Oh! And the service was amazing! Super helpful, kind, and informative.

Vince L.

The food is amazing!!! Finally a great Chinese restaurant in Goodyear. We do not have to go to the East Valley to get authentic Chinese food.

Buns, orange chicken, and beef scallion pancake!

It sucks don't come here…read more For those that kept reading, it's amazing. It's basically din tai fung without being surrounded with insufferable people. My favorite is actually the lu rou which is a very home style recipe that I crave frequently and it's executed perfectly every time. The dan dan noodles are very authentic but I prefer Americanized. If you like Szechwan peppers then it might be a dish for you. Obviously the soup dumplings are the highlight and rightfully so.

When a trip to Din Tai Fung isn't in the cards, Happy Baos makes a pretty compelling alternative!…read more Tucked into the restaurant area of Mekong Plaza, this little spot serves up an impressive selection of dumplings, buns, and other familiar favorites at very approachable prices. We started with the cucumber salad, which was wonderfully crisp and refreshing, followed by the spicy wontons. Those were a particular highlight, with a beautifully aromatic sauce featuring an almost licorice-like herbal note and just enough heat to keep things interesting. The chicken xiao long bao were delicate, savory, and filled with flavorful broth. We also tried the sheng jian bao combo, which had pillowy-soft tops and beautifully crisp, sesame-studded bottoms without any excess oiliness. The restaurant can get busy, but the kiosk waitlist makes the process straightforward, and service was attentive once seated. A satisfying little dumpling destination that punches well above its price point!

I stopped by for a takeout order and picked up the Spicy Boiled Wontons and Orange Chicken, and both hit the spot! The spicy boiled wontons are packed with flavor, with that delicious sauce bringing just the right amount of heat. The orange chicken is another satisfying choice, with its signature sweet and savory flavor that makes it hard to resist. Customer service was good, and the service was super fast, making this an easy stop when you're craving quality Chinese takeout without the wait. China Chili continues to prove why it's a favorite. Fresh food, bold flavors, authentic dishes, and efficient service? That's a winning combination in my book. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to!

Come for the Peking Duck; stay for the Duck Sauce y'all!…read more China Chili is absolutely fantastic! I've ordered from them through Uber Eats and Grubhub multiple times, and I already knew I loved their orange chicken and fried rice. But when a friend suggested we actually go inside and eat there, I thought, why have I been keeping this deliciousness strictly a takeout relationship? We went on a Saturday around 3p. The restaurant is simple, casual, and no-frills. Don't come looking for romance or Instagram-worthy ambiance. This is not the place for mood lighting. You're here to EAT, and honestly, I respect that. We were seated within about 5 minutes, and our server came by shortly afterward. My friend is a regular who swears by the Peking duck with buns, so we ordered that to share. I got my Sauvi B, my friend ordered a Chinese beer, and almost immediately, delicious egg drop soup appeared. No doctoring it up, no adding a bunch of stuff. It was perfect as is. Then came the Peking duck. Beautifully presented, expertly sliced, with crispy skin and all the fixings: shredded scallions, plum sauce, duck sauce, and spicy mustard. That spicy mustard? AMAZING. So... how did I build these little masterpieces you ask? Open the bun, spread on that delicious dark plum sauce, add the duck, scallions, a little crispy skin, and a dab of spicy mustard. Close it up and proceed to mind your business because baaaay-bee... that first bite was everything! I ate approximately 7 mini duck sandwiches. SEVEN! And I regret absolutely nothing. You can also order the Peking duck with pancakes, which I plan to try on my next visit. Because yes, there WILL be a next visit. And the one after that. The service was excellent, too. Attentive without hovering, efficient without rushing us, and perfectly pleasant. Nobody was trying to become our new best friend, but nobody was rude, either. Just good, straightforward service that let us enjoy our meal. By the time we left around 4:15, the restaurant was getting busy. All kinds of people were coming in, and plenty seemed to know exactly what they wanted. You could tell this place has its regulars, and I can absolutely see why. Now, let me address something very important from the perspective of a NEWYAWKUH (yes, that's how we say it). Since moving to Arizona 3 and a half years ago, finding truly delicious duck sauce has been the bane of my existence. I know, I know. First-world problems. But if you know, YOU KNOW. China Chili has the sauces, the fixings, the flavor, and the goods. That duck sauce and spicy mustard alone deserve a standing ovation. I can't wait to return with a bigger group so I can try more of the menu. But if you're going with just one other person, the Peking duck with buns is an excellent place to start. China Chili has officially secured another repeat customer. If you haven't been, go. And if you're already a regular, I now understand your loyalty. Come hungry. Bring friends. Order the duck. And for the love of all things delicious, don't sleep on the sauces!

I like that they push the carts around as some places just have a menu to order from. We were able to get food quickly as they had multiple servers pushing different carts around.

For a party of 7, the total with tip came out to $213.16 which is pretty good considering how much we ordered. We ordered several plates of dumplings, soup, fried rice, and duck. The duck was definitely my favorite. It was juicy, tender, and had a subtle sweet kick to it. I didn't really find it a place I'd want to go back to, but everything was still good.
