The restaurant was cleaned and well organized. I ordered the sesame chicken and steam rice. Ended up spending $20 and they ended up giving me some soup and a spring roll as well. The rice, soup and spring roll were alright but the chicken didn't seem right. The food came out pretty quick. I just didn't like the part when I was getting talked about when I stayed there to eat in the middle of the day. I ended up leaving it just didn't taste right and didn't feel welcomed. I ate a little bit of the food and gave away the rest to someone roaming the streets. Just wanted to try it because of the hype. I hope everyone else has a better experience with Lucky Chen. read more

Inexpensive food in the city of Lubbock. Traveled from Riverside California to Killen Texas. On my second day of traveling I booked a hotel and found this small Chinese restaurant nearby. Pricing is reasonable and matches mostly every other chinese takeout nearby. Service is good nothing to complain about, it's chill. Got 2 sets of dumplings & beef broccoli and went back to the hotel. Watched Friends and I dug into the dumplings 10/10 no cap. Dumplings 5/5 Beef broccoli 3/5 read more

Tried ordering on Grubhub & they delivered to the wrong address. Driver didn't respond to texts when I noticed. Called restaurant & got nothing. Food may be good, just cross your fingers you get it & don't have an issue. read more

The food was very wet the beef and broccoli tasted fishy, like cooked with fish. It had a weird smell to it.

Amazing food. Met my expectations perfectly! Thank you thank you. Im so full and my heart is content. Getting five stars from me is not easy so trust me they earned it, from the good tasting food down to the To-Go packaging! Awesome!! read more

A white plastic fork is inserted into the rice. The background shows a cluttered room with furniture and electronic cords. - Chinese Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Literally my favorite restaurant that I found since being in college. I come here all the time. If you call in food it's always ready within 5 to 10 minutes, the staff are super sweet and nice, it's super family friendly. And the food is always banging. This place is so underrated and I cannot believe that it's not more popular because it is so freaking good and the experience within the building is so amazing. read more

We were in town and ordered their delivery. My wife had Mu Shu Pork, I and the spicy chicken. All good! It is hard for me to rate Chinese food because it all tastes similar (to me), so it is either good, or terrible. This is good!!! Prices are fair, and the delivery guy was there on time. read more

In Lubbock, visiting daughter and grand-daughter. We decided to get takeout from Lucky Chen, rather than cook and take time away from the visiting, Little strip mall place near Walmart, clean, neat, and tidy with a view back into the kitchen from the register allowing one to see a very clean and neat work space. Appears to be family operation with a friendly young man taking orders and patient with my hearing difficulties. On to the food, not knock your socks off great but good and plentiful orders. Had egg rolls, sesame chicken a fried rice order fried wonton soup and a noodle dish. As said above, all good, and all plentiful, but a bad deal, all in all. read more

A lady from work brought take out of this new place by Marsha Sharp and I was a little skeptical. Because honestly, how good can a $5 meal at a fast food place be? The portions were enormous and for that amount of money I was expecting about a third of what I got. One person wasn't sure what they wanted and told the lady behind the counter that they liked chicken and veggies; the woman quickly said that she would make something special for her that wasn't on the menu and it looked pretty good. If the service stays this attentive and the food stays good I might become a regular. read more

First time for us at Lucky Chen. I absolutely love the food! It has the kind of food you can't get at all other local Chinese places (like Panda Express) - we had sweet and sour chicken, chicken fried rice, and sesame chicken. The girl behind the counter was very friendly too, even showed her the Yelp app. The service was fast and all 3 dishes we ordered were very good. Another thing - the Restaraunt and the kitchen looked very clean, which is important to us. I will definitely become a regular customer there. Highly recommended. Update: Visited again on April 14, 2015, still gets 5 stars, the food was absolutely the best we've had in Lubbock... read more

The BEST Chinese food in town! I love the spicy beef lo mien and the beef and broccoli!

Chinese food on the spot! Had an egg foo young, and it was delicious! The food was significant as it was our last meal before she deployed. Thanks, Lucky Chen!! read more

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants. Very cheap and quick. Next to Walmart. No complaints

The food is typical American Chinese cuisine. My family has supported this locally owned business since they opened. However, we recently placed a $70 delivery order that was short our pre-paid ham fried rice. When we called to report the missing item (thinking perhaps the delivery driver had it in their car), we were left on hold for six minutes, then transferred to "the bagger" who insisted I just couldn't see the ham fried rice - that it was there because he bagged it. Basically accused me of lying about an order of ham fried rice! As if... not feeling "Lucky" to be a long-time customer of this establishment anymore. Taking our business elsewhere. read more

Maybe we ordered wrong, but 4 Seasons dish, lo mein, and egg roll all had undertones of fish flavor. Fish sauce as a main ingredient? Didn't love it. The people were nice though read more

Great fash Chinese food! Reasonable prices and good service. Go during lunch hours to get the best deals.

I ordered via door dash. Food just doesn't have good flavor, I'm disappointed I recommend pho Cali or I love pho! Much better places to eat! read more

Lucky Chen - Curry chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Lucky chen is the reason I stopped trying local Chinese food in lubbock. The egg drop soup tasted like corn water, and the orange chicken was red. The people were very nice but the recipes need to be changed ASAP. Overall, nice people but lackluster food. I ate a couple of bites and threw it away. If panda express, a fast food place makes better orange chicken, you're doing something wrong. Please change your recipes, very nice people but do not eat. read more

So my daughter, who goes to TT, takes me to this little take--out Chinese place in a strip center. She says, "Dad, this place has really good food,and it's major cheap". OK, I say, lets give it a shot... While FF Chinese in LBB doesn't really sound that great, this little place delivered... and I don't mean to your house. The egg drop and wonton soups were both delish. Chicken chow mein just like I used to get in NY. Chicken and vegtables -- yumm. We ate like two starving pigs and I believe the bill was under $20 for all of this. I will be back. PS... my five star rating is justified as while there is better Chinese in LBB and other cities than this... for FF Chinese in LBB, this IS as good as it gets. read more

Pretty solid American Chinese food and CHEAP! Staff was friendly as well. I had lunch here yesterday and it was packed. I had the lunch special with General Tso's chicken, fried rice, and hot and sour soup. I also had a side of steamed dumplings. Everything was served hot and was very tasty. It's not far from where I work, so I will probably check it out again. read more

Very college student friendly restaurant for the price. I have tried the General Tso's chicken and pork fried rice and they were not that bad. Only one dish that I would recommend on the menu is called the Egg Full Yang. Definitely not the best local Asian food, but I would say you get what you pay for. read more

Came with a fairly large group and noticed the location was a bit on the small size. We ate anyways and found out the food is not freshly made. It was more "bought from a Freezer section and served to us" kind of food. I really can't recommend this place. read more

We stopped here on our way from Austin to Amarillo. Being familiar with Lubbock, we know the area and thought we'd stop for a quick bite. Our first clue should I e been that there was no one else in the dining room, the second maybe the late 80's jewelry hanging on the wall for sale. We placed our order and the food was delivered to our table, in styrofoam to-go containers. We didn't get 2 bites into our meal before walking out. The rice was dry and bland. The orange chicken was burnt and the sauce came in little ketchup style packets. Do NOT waste your money or time eating here. read more

This place was amazing! The staff was very nice and they got our food ready really quickly! I would definitely recommend if you are in a hurry and need some good food to go! The food was great as well! We got sweet and sour chicken which was fantastic. I would definitely recommend coming here and enjoying the great food and the atmosphere read more

I ordered a sweet and sour chicken to have lunch there. This sweet and sour chicken is very delicious, very crispy, and in large quantity. It's very close to my home. It's very good. read more

I would give them four stars but they have a small menu and they charge for delivery on top of a $15 minimum order. The food was good enough that I ordered it again tonight (living out of town and don't want pizza). The delivery was actually ahead of schedule. The portion size was ok; I've gotten used to giant portions from most Chinese take out places and these portions were not as big as most but still fair for the price. The seasoning was good too; I find most use less salt than I grew up with but this had enough. If you want some Chinese and don't want to drive this is edible and fairly quick. Paying by CC is a pain if they're busy because of the language barrier but they got it eventually....the second time was no sweat. read more

Sweet sour chicken is awesome! My first to-go Chinese restaurant. The beef broccoli is great too. Especially the beef tastes very tender.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. First off they were not helpful whatsoever over the phone when asked about their own menu. The food is misleading and not how it's worded online. Not to mention we received the wrong order. Do not waste your time or money. read more

Such a good place for Chinese food! The server is very friendly and polite! And she gives good recommendations every time I want to try new foods. They cook fast and the food is fresh with large quantity! Highly recommended!!!! read more

This place is the bomb. I've been here twice two years apart . Very small place . I have not been there at lunch but would expect it to be crowded . It's in an old part of Lubbock but don't let that keep you from trying the food! read more

I went there and got a so called curry chicken with fried rice, it turns out it's more like a curry onion with fried rice. It was a bowl of onions instead of chicken, very disappointing. No wonder why they have no businesses. read more

First time we ordered the food was ok. Nothing to get excited about but fair. This second time we ordered it was absolutely piss poor. The orange chicken was terrible, didn't even taste like orange chicken. The pork lo mien was awful. Mushy noodles, weird hot pink pork that tasted off. The dumplings were decent. The fried rice was tasteless. The broccoli was ok. We asked for some extra duck sauce and of course got six packets each of mustard and soy and two of duck sauce. Definitely won't be ordering again read more

I got their meat wontons and shrimp/pork with noodles. It made my stomach ate, I felt so horrible afterwards. Only gave 2 stars because they were nice. read more

Great place to get good Chinese food!!!!! I like their beef broccoli and sweet sour chicken. The server in front is very nice and helpful! Their food is fresh and cheap. I like spicy food, and I tried their Hunan Chicken, which is super good. Highly recommended!!!' read more

twice I asked for white meat(chicken) both times they gave me thigh me. Called them and the lady behind the counter argued that it was white. Won't be back. read more

We are from out of town and ordered delivery to our hotel. It took approximately 40 minutes for delivery. I ordered the Chicken w/chinese vegetables but what I received was chicken with broccoli and a few pieces of carrot. It was very tasty and a large portion for the price but still disappointed it didn't have all the vegetables listed on the menu. My daughter had the Shrimp Mei Fun and it was very tasty and a large portion as well. There is also a $4 delivery charge that was not mentioned on menu or by the person who took our order. Our 2 entrees plus delivery charge totaled $20.47. Overall good food at reasonable prices. read more

As far as simple Chinese takeout in Lubbock goes, Lucky Chen is excellent. Ever since this placed opened I feel the food has improved and continually got even tastier. The counter service is excellent and quick, however food doesn't come out "too quick" you know they are actually making your dish fresh as opposed to some places that have portions pre-made. As far as dishes to try, I would suggest any of the Hunan sauce dishes, Hunan Chicken and Beef are excellent. Hot and Spicy Chicken is great too. The steamed rice is sticky and fragrant, the spring rolls are crispy. Everything here is great. And the portions (especially with the lunch specials) are so humongous you can't help but be pleased. If you are a Tech student or in the area this should be your one stop shop for chinese takeout. Good value, good food, great service! read more

Awesome. Came recommended by manager at La Quinta at Civic Center. And they deliver. We were here for one night and were tired from driving all day. So we ordered, and they brought it right to our room, even faster than they projected. The wonton soup was flavorful and contained three plump, thick wontons with meat inside. My husband said the egg drop soup was good too. My ample and delicious pork fried rice was full of roast pork and lightly sautéed onion. The spring roll was surprisingly savory. But the star of the night was the Mongolian beef. A large serving with lots of superbly tender sliced beef and sautéed veggies in a perfectly spicy sauce. My husband said if he lived here, he would be getting this often. I had some of his, and I totally agreed. We go through Lubbock occasionally, and I guarantee this is where we'll be eating. read more
