Excellent Prawn Fried Rice! Fresh seafood, and big juicy prawns. Savory rice. Quick service. read more

A good amount of parking but can see it being more of a problem if the neighboring restaurants and itself are busy. The spot is cozy with a good handful of tables with what looks like mainly accommodates parties of 4 but I'm sure if there was the capacity to, you can show up with a bigger party and push tables together. The menu was vast and very straight forward and I ordered a few dishes to go and it came out very quickly. Each dish also came with a sour soup which they offered to combine to make the to go process easier. Each dish was memorable and felt very close to home. The Mongolian Beef was tender, the Beef Chow Fun had a nice wok flavor, the Cashew Nut Chicken was complimented by all the ingredients in it, and the Lucky Fried Rice was umami filled and addicting to eat. Will definitely be back to try the other dishes. read more

A coworker of mine shared this hidden gem with me!! We ordered for work on a Friday and guess what, I was back the next day. Lol The location is not ideal and totally inconspicuous of the deliciousness that this place has. Inside, it's clean and nice and open. The restrooms are through another door and they were very clean as well. There was only one person behind the counter which was fine. He was nice but our interactions were limited. Pleasantries were exchanged Okay, it's food time. I ordered the lucky fried rice AGAIN, the beef chow fun and spicy seafood. All of it was delicious. Not greasy or heavy, perfect amount of seasoning. Well balanced. The rice noodles were all perfect texture. Prices are the best. You get soup with your order too. As you can tell, I'm a returner and will continue to be. read more

We were visiting Seattle a couple weeks ago from the bay area, and craving some Cantonese style comfort food, and a friend recommended this place. We were so glad we gave it a try! It fits the bill of a "hole in the wall" restaurant, in a non-descript, industrial part of town, but sometimes those little dives are the best places! As we parked, there were signs on the outside windows of photos of some of their food items and everything looked delicious. We came in on a weeknight (2 adults, 2 older kids) and were seated right away. Service was great, very attentive. We ordered beef chow fun (called "chow foon" on this menu! Basically wide flat noodles), chicken fried rice, won ton soup, curry chicken and mongolian beef. The meal came with complimentary hot and sour soup. Pricing was fair. Everything was delicious, especially the chicken fried rice as it had what my family refers to as "wok chi" ... that yummy, smoky wok essence. The won ton soup was chicken based and not shrimp based, so that was probably my least favorite. But we cleaned up everything! We look forward to visiting Seattle again to try other dishes! My daughter who lives in Seattle said she'll add this place to her take out list and hopes they do DoorDash/Uber Eats! read more

Oh man I've been waiting to try this place. It's so delicious and they're so friendly here. The portions are huge and their diced pepper chicken is my favorite version of kung pao. I've been looking for a place that does chicken like this for years and I'm so happy Lucky does it so well. I loved their beef fried rice too everything tastes exactly how I want my takeout to taste. I'll be a regular here for sure. The inside is clean with a few tables but most people take out. Everything is cooked to order and they're very fast. Don't change anything! The menu and recipes are perfect, support local family businesses! read more

Lucky Chinese Restaurant - Hot pepper chicken (the best version of kung pao) and beef fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The decades long fan club that followed them to the new location is review enough for Lucky Chinese. That's not stopping me from writing a review for my favorite lunch in Georgetown. Classic American Chinese dishes, made with love and talent in equal parts. The fried rice is what they're famous for, and it lives up to the hype, but be sure to try a few more of their offerings. The wontons in special hot sauce are my favorite, drizzle the leftover sauce on whatever else you order. Beef Chow Fun is the best in the city. Whatever you order, bring an appetite and you'll be extremely happy. read more

Eat here weekly, very good food and great service. Very nice owners, always come out and say hello and ask if our food was good. I like that! read more

Went in for some Lucky Chinese and it was a moderate tasting meal. Now I've stopped by a few times to see what the hoopla was on YELP but each time and each meal I consumed it just never create a peaceful bliss of an amazing meal... As for location well they moved from dump on 4th to an upgraded space where you can be served and feel OK to dine in.... Let your tastebuds decide for you but Frank's TB's have come to conclusion I'll be passing next time I'm hungry for Chinese ! read more

I've ordered from restauran for years and the food was very good. lately, iv noticed the flavor is bland and tasteless. I order shrimp fried rice and broccoli beef. The beef has no flavor cant taste anything authentic. The spices are not there anymore. tried others and the same thing. only the Japanese restaurants still use spices. Even Kau Kai's quality for their shrimp fried rice is lac. still go there for the bbq pork it's still the winner for me. Also, the price keeps going up! read more

Yay!! They are open!! We saw their old location closed a long time ago, but we didn't know they moved until today! The new place is great! Bright location, much better parking and easier to get in and out. The place is clean and they still have the same family friendly vibe. We met their daughter, Hong, who is so friendly and wonderful! Their complimentary Hot and Sour Soup is great. I enjoyed the Beef Chow Foon. Although, I wish it came with more protein than it did. My husband liked his Curry Chicken with Vegetable Over Rice. I thought the flavor was a bit tangy than savory. The whole time we were there, many were picking up their take-outs. You know it's good when there's a bunch of regulars coming through. All in all, it was a good dinner. It still feels like dining at someone's home. We are so happy they are still around! We plan to go back to order other dishes. read more

Best fried rice in the world! Please call 10 minutes prior to arrival. I was fortunate to speak with the owner, who has dedicated nearly a 1/2 century to this small family-run establishment, operated by a mother, daughter, and the owner himself. He possesses nearly 50 years of culinary expertise, particularly as a MasterChef specializing in stir-fried dishes. My concern lies in the sustainability of his output -- specifically regarding the fried rice -- given the inevitable effects of aging on his capacity to produce these dishes. It is my hope that we have many more years to relish his culinary creations, but I often find myself reflecting on how much longer he can maintain this level of output before it becomes unfeasible due to the limitations imposed by age. Eat all you can before it is gone! read more

I was warmly greeted by Hong at the front counter. She is a bright energy in this family-owned business. The dining area is small and was packed for lunch. I got takeout and wasn't disappointed with my fried rice. The Lucky Fried Rice has pork and shrimp in it. I asked for 5 star and they delivered spice! The color of the rice is probably from the chili oil which is what I had hoped to see. I could smell the burn. The rice had a nice wok flavor and is very tasty. While here, I ordered the beef and broccoli for my dinner later. I haven't tried it yet but it looks good. It has lots of veggies in it: broccoli, carrots, onions, mushrooms. I've tried to stop in before but wasn't able to find parking. So glad I found a spot on a side street. While this place is a challenge to get to, it's worth it for the quickness and quality. The customer service is awesome, too! read more

Service was fast and easy! Enjoyed the complimentary hot and sour soup at the beginning of the meal. Lucky fried rice: I would definitely come back here for the fried rice. It was super tasty and my favorite dish. Will come back to try some noodle dishes Spicy wontons: sauce was a little too sweet over being savory, but tasted good with the fried rice Hot pepper fish: I didn't care for the fish dish we got, where the sauce didn't taste like it complimented the fish and the meat tasted a bit too fishy. I know their food is good here, so I want to come back and try another protein dish! read more

Very tasty fried rice ! It's clean and fresh looking inside and the service is excellent. We loved it and will return

Food ready fast - Proper portions - Average flavor Ordered the General chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and egg rolls. Each dish came with two rice balls and a side of hot and sour soup. Egg rolls were pretty small, I'd recommend getting two per person. I was really happy with the service! Very friendly and our order was ready in fifteen minutes. Not the best, nothing blew me away. The spice was there with the general tso chicken dish, but the hot and sour soup was bland and so was the sweet and sour chicken. Maybe there other dishes are good? read more

Uncle is back like he never left ! I was sad when he closed the first location ! Thought he enjoying a well deserved retirement ! BUT he is back ! Green pepper beef is fire as always ! I'm happy he is back and I definitely will always be back too ! read more

Lucky Chinese Restaurant - Green pepper steak - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is our go-to Chinese spot. We usually get the Lucky fried rice, the wontons in spicy sauce, and the broccoli chicken. We end up craving those three items. Service is always friendly and the food has always been delicious. It's also in a nice, bright, new space. read more

The food was pretty good for the price that you pay. They're hot and sour to hit the spot on a cold rainy day.

I say this with great reverence: this is the best chinese restaurant in this entire city. I have searched far and wide for the tastes of Chinese food from Chicago and the east coast. People who know, know what I am talking about. It is the distinct wok hay taste, the awesome family that runs the place, the neighborhood vibe, all of it comes together. If youve been searching for the GOOD fried rice, it is here. The real taste of Mongolian Beef, here. Kung Pao, here (pro-tip, it is called hot pepper diced chicken on the menu). Plus the delicious hot and sour soup is tasty, savory, and fortifying. Above all, they are so welcoming, warm and accomodating to my child, who is on the spectrum, and only likes fried rice with nothing but soy sauce and seasoning. They cooked it up perfectly and now my kiddo is hooked. When this place closed on 4th ave, it crushed my whole world. I am so happy to have Lucky Chinese back. Long live Lucky Chinese! read more

Am I missing something here? Service was really fast, but the food was just ok. The fried rice is not $8.25 but $15.00. Hot and sour soup was pretty bland and the General's chicken was mediocre at best. Very disappointed! read more

My favorite food to eat is fried rice and this restaurant has the best fried rice in Seattle. All the entrees come with hot and sour soup as a gratis, which is a nice touch. Super nice family, no reason not to come and support them and eat great Chinese American comfort food. read more

Went here after a friend recommended it and it did not disappoint. This is your classic Chinese American food with all the classics such as fried rice, chow mein, beef and broccoli, and more. It's a perfect place for take out as they have a little parking lot in front which makes it easy for pick up. Called to place my order around 6 pm on a weekday and it was ready in 10 minutes. To our surprise, each dish came with a side of hot and sour soup which was simple and delicious. Both meat entrees came with a large serving of steamed rice and steamed veggies. Overall, portion sizes are huge, really affordable prices, great variety of dishes to chose from, and super nice and sweet owners. The food with full of flavorful and not very greasy. What we got: Noodles with pork gravy: super flavorful, savory saucy noodles. Lucky fried rice: simple but full of flavor Mongolian beef: to our pleasant surprise, it came with side of rice and steamed cabbage and bean sprout. Really tasty and tons of onions. Hot pepper diced chicken: really delicious with mushroom, peanuts, and crunchy veggies. read more

Today yes today Aug 6 something drew me back to this place so when it was my turn to order I acted as it was my first Ooh Wee(I've already tried and enjoyed very much #15 Mongolian Beef) so asked what do you recommend she quickly replied #2 Shrimp Fried Rice with extra shrimp my thoughts quickly went to "She's just trying to make more money"! Two tears in a bucket--#2 it is as I waited she approached with a mound of steaming rice and shrimp the aroma seafood freshness but the taste won me over I know what to order on my next visit to this very clean and quiet place the view is counting cars but you want have time for that because you're face going to work on that delicious food sure about the ambiance just clear windows and really very nice customer service read more

I cannot say a single bad thing about this restaurant. It is a tiny hole in the wall that is successfully run by a small, very sweet family. The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside. Seriously, it is a tiny hole in the wall place with only 4-5 parking spots out front. It is in a very industrious area. While eating here, my family and I noticed how popular this place is. Because otherwise, we were the only bunch in there and so we all kind of wondered how this place stays afloat. They do a lot of lunch to go orders. Their items are very inexpensive. I do not know whether or not they except credit cards as forms of payment but everything is very reasonable. I have to admit, I wasn't sure what to expect but we were very pleased. We were a party of 8. I think we ordered 10 dishes... these are some that I can remember: - beef w American broccoli - curry chicken - won ton soup - chow mein x 2 - general tso chicken - fried rice w beef - complimentary hot & sour soup - Vietnamese iced coffee Everything that we ordered was tasty and the service was very nice. The family was so sweet. They really enjoyed the company of my daughter. We had a really nice time dining here for lunch. It was nice to see all these people coming and going and picking up food. My daughter really loves the small claim that they have there. When she needed to take a little break from eating she would climb out of her highchair and could go over and watch the fish, quietly, without bothering anyone. It worked out perfectly. I'd easily come back here. Food is tasty, inexpensive, reasonable in price and down home... nothing fancy at all. It's just yummy & good. read more

The best service and OMG why was the food even better. I had the Fried Rice and the Sweet and Sour Chicken. I will be going back for sure. So worth it. Can not wait to try more items on the menu. I wish I took a picture of it. But when I got that first bit it was done and I ate it all up. Thank you again to Hong for being amazing. read more

So glad they're back!!! We've missed their fried rice so much. It's been tough to find anything that could remotely compare to our favorite Chinese takeout spot. We didn't know they were coming back until we happened to see them this week on our way to run an errand and we can't tell you just how happy we are they're back. The service at this sweet, family-owner business is amazing, the new spot has an even better location and dinning area than before. 10/10 we recommend. read more

If you love Green Village in Chinatown that closed... You will love this place! Their orders come with hot & sour soup which is a perfect combination with the lucky fried rice. The lucky fried rice comes with chicken and shrimp. The rice is never too hard (like other places when they use their left over rice, LOL), and it's the perfect amount for 3 - 4 ppl. I also order the sweet and sour chicken which is super red for no reason but super delicious! read more

Great food, very nice people. Prices was great $. Best Chinese food in Tukwila, convenient for Boeing worker!

I like that they have parking though it's only like 4 or 5 spots. The food really was delicious and the owner even recommended some dishes for the next time I stop in. The fresh chill vegetables were different and unique something I'm not used to in general Tsos chicken. But the chili's they used were perfect and my favorite. Yes the building is old and there's no ac and it looks like a hole in the wall but just enjoy the food and the owners very nice people and I will be going back. Oh reminded of the Chinese food spots in Chinatown nyc . Only the real ones know where to go and this is definitely a place to go. Oh and they give you feee soup with your orders! read more

I had one and only one reason to try this restaurant: Lucky Fried Rice! The legendary fried rice at Green Village (in International District) is no longer available since the restaurant is permanently closed. The good news is that one of the chefs still makes the fried rice at his restaurant, Lucky Chinese Restaurant. Lucky fried rice was very good, but it did not blow me away. I actually tried it twice to be fair but I felt the same way the second time. Don't get me wrong. It's really good, and it's more than reasonably priced (especially for the quantity). It comes with a cup of soup. It's a family run restaurant. It's clean inside, but it looks really rundown from outside. They have a small (4~5 spots) private parking lot in front of the restaurant and it's free. I would not drive out there just to eat here, but if I happen to be in the neighborhood, I will definitely stop in again. ****************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my reviews.

Lucky Chinese Restaurant - Lucky fried rice (served with a cup of soup) - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Can I just tell y'all that this is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Seattle. We moved here from NY and have been on the hunt for NYC style Chinese American food and this is the closest that we've come to it. We ordered the Lucky Fried Rice, the Mongolian Beef and General Chicken. Soo good. Now they don't do the portions like NY--pt of this, quart of that, but that's ok. The lucky chow mein is also very good. I can't wait to try more items. The people who own the restaurant are also wonderful and friendly--the girl who was working the front was so kind and recommended some secret menu items and also suggested some customizations that are incredible. Like the Garlic Sauce with Seafood and Vegetables--so now I can't wait to try it. The vibe is very good and the murals in the restaurant are really modern. Such a gem. My only gripe is that the parking is bad--sometimes I have to circle around and wait for a parking spot to open or double park someone to pick up my food. read more

One night last month I found myself (a) hungry for Chinese food and (b) in south Seattle. Thanks to my fearless Yelp app I quickly discovered Lucky Chinese, a place I've likely driven past dozens of times but which you have to be looking for to find. Well, it was worth the find. Lucky isn't fancy, but this little hole in the wall is dishing out some tasty grub. They have tables for eating in, or you can pick up your order to go like I did. I ordered the lucky fried rice (as suggested by several Yelpers) and it did not disappoint - it was probably the best fried rice I've ever had. Full of meat and tasty goodness, it didn't even require extra soy sauce as sooo many fried rice dishes seem to. It was so good that I returned a few weeks later for the same thing. As a bonus, each entree comes with a delicious bowl of hot-and-sour soup. And their prices are very low - the fried rice is only $9. Oh yes, Lucky Chinese, I'll be back for your magical rice! read more

So glad this place is back in business. The lucky fried rice, noodles with pork gravy, black bean chicken are all amazing. I get everything spicy when it's an option. The family running the business are always so nice and welcoming. They're back on my regular take out radar. Welcome back! read more
