Dark chocolate buns
Neela P.

Lucky Cat is one of Jacksonville's best hidden gems. It's a casual, always-busy dim sum spot where the food comes out fresh as it's ready, adding to the experience. Everything we tried was delicious--from the juicy soup dumplings and shumai to the chili oil wontons and fun specialty buns. The flavors were spot on, portions were generous, and every dish arrived piping hot. The servers are consistently friendly and welcoming, and while the atmosphere isn't fancy, that's part of the charm. Just great food, great service, and a place you'll find yourself craving again and again.

Pork fried rice
Adam D.

What a cute restaurant - buzzing with excitement, while keeping a quaint and cozy atmosphere. As soon as my niece and I got a hold of the list of items we could order, we couldn't stop checking off one delicious-looking dish after another! While we ended up ordering more than we could possibly fit in our stomachs, we were okay with that, because we could continue enjoying the food at home. Once we put in our order, dish after dish kept on coming out, filling our table and dazzling our eyes and noses. The highlights of the evening were the pork and chive dumplings, whose filling was plentiful, savory and was perfectly blanketed by a chewy silky wrapper perfectly pan fried, but not oily. The other amazing dish we both gobbled up without delay was the fried rice, that was seasoned to perfection and had big chunks of pork throughout. Fried rice like this can be so simple and yet so delicious - highlighting each of the ingredients individually and how they work together in harmony. Overall, the experience at Lucky Cat was exemplary, and I can't wait to return!

This is my absolute favorite dim sum spot in Jacksonville! I know the owner makes everything from scratch, and you can totally taste the difference. They always have a unique weekend menu, and I always look forward to it. My favorite is Pork Shumai and this is one of the bests for sure. All of them are so delicious and I highly recommend trying them all! The atmosphere is very modern, and the music they play is always jazz. If you have not been here, you are definitely missing out!

Wonton soup

First time trying out this hidden gem! I came in on Friday afternoon, not too busy. We were seated right away and after looking through the menu, we decided to go with the fried tofu, wonton soup, eggplant, and Taro buns for dessert, my kids loved it, so soft and sweet. The waitress was attentive and showed patience with my kids so that was nice. The food is good. I feel like it was made in house, which is great, but it did take a while to get my dishes out. I do recommend it since it's nearby and it's good to support local business.

Eggplant and shrimp and turnip cake

We popped in spontaneously on a Friday night with no reservations. Parking was easy in the free parking lot of the strip mall. We had a 10 minute wait as the restaurant was busy with patrons. The menu was extensive and the food came out, hot and tasty within minutes. They had all the standard Dim Sum fare. We tried one of the shrimp noodle dishes and the noodles were light and airy on the tongue. Their sweet tea/ lemonade drinks were a refreshing non alcoholic treat. The restaurant was basically themed and noise was not overwhelming. It's a nice spot for a casual dinner or a date.

First of all let me say that I love dim sum! And Lucky Cat gets it right every single time. Tonight we ordered a little of everything as always and it all came out amazing. The salt and pepper shrimp never stood a chance, very flavorful and fried perfectly. The chicken stir fry was full of chicken and was amazing especially with the sweet soy sauce and crunchys from the salt and pepper shrimp. We also had the buffalo chicken dumplings, spicy cucumbers, shrimp and chive dumplings and the ribs.. nothing was a miss! The mango mochi is always a hit at our table and it exceeds in presentation and flavor every time!

Guava and cheese French toast
Allison C.

We dined in on a weeknight. The restaurant was busy but we were seated promptly. We got a variety of buns, the fried French toast, chicken fried rice, wonton soup, dumplings and Bok choy. Everything was piping hot and exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed each and every dish we ordered. The service was also exceptional. Though the restaurant is unassuming from the exterior we were thrilled with everything and would definitely return.

Taro Lucky Cat Bun
Diele K.

For work, I've been sent to Jacksonville to train and tried this location out as a treat for Halloween. I went with my coworker from Phoenix so we could share various items. Love being able to get dim sum with conversation with friends, family, or coworkers. We were seated quickly and the restaurant had a few tables occupied, which would be expected for Halloween night as likely most were trick or treating. The location is quaint, but cozy in a down-to-earth setting. We ordered a few items, and all met the mark or even had us remarking it was the best we've ever had. The shrimp fried rice was a major standout for me, and absolutely delicious! The taro lucky cat bun is not just adorable, but scrumptious. It was a perfect way to end the meal, and highly recommend if you stop in though they have other darling designs like panda, teddy bear, or piggy that you can try that have a different flavor. Thank you Vernee D. for recommending I try as always appreciate fellow Yelper feedback, and you always have great reviews in Arizona! Definitely agree if you are in Jacksonville that you need to try this place out! Plan to return before I leave, and if work sends me back to train this will be on my must dine list.

Vernee D.

You know, when I visited this spot a few weeks back, I didn't think it was gonna change my life. But - I want to move to Florida because of this place! It seems very unassuming, but assume all things! This place is NOT only delicious, but HEAVENLY delicious. I highly recommend and I swear, if the universe allows me to live near here, I would be here every day. Something about the food is just absolute comfort in every bite. The service was great and there's a good amount of seating inside. If you are in Jacksonville - YOU MUST EAT HERE!

Lucky Cat was great! The restaurant itself was very cozy and service was quick. I loved the variety of items on their menu and the cute twist the put on some of the food options. My friend and I got the OG chili pork wontons, cheeseburger shumai, and pork bao buns. I loved the chili oil on the wontons and the shumai was great! Will be back again.

Lou B.

A really cute and cozy option for dim sum. Service is always fast and staff are always quick and friendly, but I think there are tastier dim sum spots in town. That being said, there a lot of options and many of them are very creative and adorable. I dislike how the paper menu that you write on and turn in does not match the laminated menus that they provide. It would be a little easier to order if they matched the menus.

David L.

Not your regular dim sum place, and more like a Western Asian fusion. Ambiance was very hole in the wall type of place. Service was great. That being said, the dumpling sizes are large and they all tasted good. The green dumplings and stuffed tofu were definitely our favorites!

Fried Shrimp Ball
Nihar V.

The food was really good and flavorful. The service was great and the ambiance was nice. We got to pick all our food from a sheet and the food came out quick and tasted fresh. Will definitely come back again!

They're at 10586 Old St Augustine Road in Mandarin with a nice size parking lot so their location is great and parking isn't a concern. I'll get to the food in a minute but I'll start by saying that before we opened our fortune cookies at the end, I jokingly said "I hope one of these says 'you will get your original Facebook account back". They didn't say that but I included a photo of both because I feel like they're close enough As far as food goes, we split the Peony Sampler for an appetizer and loved it. It definitely did it's job as a sampler because now we know we like all of their appetizers and would order any of them on their own in the future. I ordered Egg Drop Soup after that because it's a favorite of mine. I always add a little salt to their version of it but I add salt to a lot of soups so that may just be a "me" thing. I had the Sweet & Sour Pork with Fried Rice for my entree, which is the same things had last time and it's still great. Between the appetizer and the soup and the entree, I was hoping to have enough to take home for lunch tomorrow and I definitely did. My wife had the General Chicken. She really liked the sauce because it was sweet but has a little bit of spicy kick to it. She said the same thing I said about the chicken itself; she loved that it was big pieces of juicy white meat. She was also surprised by how much she liked the broccoli which made for one of those things where you could get a bite of everything at once. She also had a lot to take home, so she's happy with that too. Thank you again to the person who posted about Peony in the group recently. We had a great lunch thanks to your reminder.

The pork soup dumplings were a bit different than how I'm used to having them prepared. They were thicker at the top and there wasn't much broth in them. However, the pork inside was a generous amount so it made up for the lack of broth. I enjoyed the chili oil and the vinegar provided on the side, great addition to every bite. I ordered the spicy beef noodle soup which was very aromatic, which I love about the dish whenever I order it. It had plenty of heat which is great as well. Finished it all off with a bottle of Sapporo. The service was quick and easy, and the ambiance was laid back which I loved for a nice rainy afternoon lunch.

The server was extremely rude from the moment that I walked in. Upon coming in, I was not greeted at all. No Hi, Hello, or anything. The server glanced at me and I asked for a table for 1. In which he turned around with a menu and sat it on a table. He said absolutely nothing to me when doing this. The only thing that this water asked was for my drink order, if I was ready to order food and if I wanted to place anymore orders because the kitchen was closing. He did not crack a smile or try to be kind at all. Was definitely a poor customer service experience, and I was really looking forward to visiting the spot for the first time. While the customer service was terrible, the food was pretty good. I ordered a few dim sum appetizers and was pleasantly surprised by the taste and how fulfilling these small appetizers. In addition, it was such a large selection and all priced very fairly. The food alone would make me return but hopefully the service the next time will be a lot better.
