Service was good (our cups were never empty and they checked on us regularly), food was AMAZING! We got the Dinner B for two and everything was delicious! Spring rolls were fresh, pork was tender and flavorful, the chow mein had a hint of garlic (blew my mind), and the pork fried rice had a hint of brown sugar maybe? Truly the best Chinese food I've ever had, with a variety of flavorful dishes! We had a great time! The pricing is very reasonable! They also offer a full bar for those who partake. read more

I use to come here a lot when I lived in Maple Valley, I now live in Kent I have drove to Lucky Chopsticks two times and they have been closed or closing. I look on the website first to check to see if they are open. The website today showed they were open until 9:30pm we pulled up and got out of the car and the waitress came out and said they were closed. It was 8pm I asked why does the website say they are open until 9:30? She just said sorry but the kitchen is closed. Then she turned around and asked would you like something to go? I said no we want to sit down and eat. I got back in my car and said how can the kitchen be closed and then offer up to get something to go??? I will not ever waist my time driving all the way out here again. This use to be a good place, but since COVID it has gone down hill. read more

Got lunch to go today. Ordered the Almond Chicken and Fried Rice. Sauce was packaged on the side so chicken would not get soggy. All food was hot and tasty. read more

The hot and sour soup was inedible- it looked like they dumped an entire container of red chili flakes into one bowl. And it looked super corn starched- too thick. I threw the entire thing away after one taste. Not going back. read more

Great BBQ pork, some of the best I've had, everything else was as expected. Good service, they handled our large group well! *Large round table with lazy susan could use some beefing up, or a thicker top, as it's very tippy with minimum elbowage! read more

Ok. When they first opened the food was delicious and fresh. I'm not sure what has happened in the last 3-6 months but I have been thoroughly disappointed in the quality of the food. Perhaps new cooks? The service staff though are very pleasant but I think after this last try, I will be looking for another place here in Maple Valley for Chinese which is hard read more

I like this place. My wife and I eat here a couple times a month (usually take-out). They claim to be the best Chinese restaurant in Maple Valley, and I think they are right (they also happen to be the -only- Chinese restaurant in Maple Valley, lol). I've had almost everything on the menu, it's all good. Oh, and my other favorite thing: when you walk in and order take-out, they have it ready in under 10 min. read more

This place used to be The Golden Phoenix. Of the two locations I thought the other was better. Something must have happened because the other location has a sign in the window saying they are no longer affiliated with this location. These guys told me that they wanted to use higher quality ingredients and serve a better portion all wrapped up in better service. The food tastes amazing, but I have to admit in the few times I've been here in the last few months the portions have been smaller and smaller. That said, it's still great food, but if the portions don't return to their once generous size, I'll be choosing a spot much closer to home. read more

Golden sesame beef if u haven't tried it u should! Really good food best bbq pork (warm) reminds me of home

One of my very first jobs was at a chinese restaurant. I have had good, great and poor quality chinese. Golden Chopsticks has great food and service. We have been in the restaurant 5 or 6 times and have enjoyed every dish. My boyfriend and my favorite is the BBQ pork, It is served warm and it enhances the flavor. This is THE BEST bbq pork I have had. My boyfriends favorite is the Mongolian beef. Mine is the Mu Shu Pork and the kids hands down, the PuPu Platter. Everytime we have come in Damon the owners wife comes by several times throughout the meal to check on us. In addition, he said if we ever want a dish served differently, he would customize it for us. THIS is excellent customer service. Both the waitresses are nice. The place is always pretty busy with to go orders flying out the door. **as a bonus, they give you a 5% cash discount. That says they are really thinking of their customers. This is the best chinese I have found in the Covington and MV area. I have yet to find an outstanding one in a 15 mile radius. read more

I enjoy this place. Nothing fancy/ambitious (except for the full bar which is an unexpected bonus in this market). Expect a standard casual american-chinese menu. We had good service and enjoyed our food. The orange chicken was exceptionally crispy which was nice. The fried battered prawn loop things (forget how they were labeled) were flavorless so I wouldn't choose those again. read more

Flavourless food really not worth the price. Everything taste the same.... bland!! We won't be ordering from here again

This lovely restaurant is just about as good as it gets when it comes to Chinese cuisine. Their blend of Mandarin & Szechuan food leaves you wanting to order MORE than you could ever eat in one seating, just so you can have "seconds" later! Their Honey Walnut Prawns is NOT TO BE MISSED! 'Best I've had - ever! The Broccoli chicken was fresh and even their luncheon special portion was considerably filling. The nicest surprise, on this cold wintery day, was their wonton soup. It was high quality with what looked to be homemade wontons and a broth that was immediately soothing. Another plus was that, upon checking, they do not use NO MSG in their food, which is especially important to a lot of people (including me!) I did not see this posted on their menu, so perhaps best to ask when ordering. Finally, the service and presentation of the food was superb! Our server kept checking that we had enough water and fresh, hot tea - which is served in a delightful little round, clear glass pot. The food was piping hot and came to us fairly quickly. The booths are comfortable and, as this was a birthday celebration and reunion of friends, we enjoyed lingering without any sense of being rushed. My friend, who lives in West Seattle, commented that there is nothing in her neighborhood that compares to the quality and service of "Lucky Chopsticks!" read more

This place was good. It wasn't busy at all on a Sunday night, which was perfect for us. The service was fast and We ordered chicken egg foo young, BBQ chicken chow mein, lemon chicken, egg rolls, and crab rangoons. The chow mein was delicious and not greasy at all, the lemon chicken sauce was light and tasty (the chicken was a little tough, but not too bad), the egg foo young was well cooked and tasty, and omg the crab rangoons were AMAZING! I definitely recommend this spot of your near four corners. read more

This was a fantastic place! Fast service courteous and oh so good! While we were there there was a very rude customer who decided to critique the waitress and put her down and she was very kind and respected him even though I am not sure most people would have continued serving him. Thank you for a fantastic family night out. read more

Glad to find our new favorite place for Chinese food in Maple Valley! We ordered Family Style B for two. Loved everything from start to finish. Great service! read more

I ordered General Tso's chicken & orange chicken for me and my two boys earlier this evening, and was very disappointed with both orders. Both dishes tasted as if a bunch of sauce had been slopped over the top & stuffed into the box. Not likely to be ordering from Not So Lucky Chopsticks again. read more

Food is not bad, very mild in flavor. The Mongolian beef tasted like pepper steak. The people were very nice and very clean restaurant. Service was very quick. read more

By far one of the better Chinese restaurant I have tried. Especially the salt and pepper shrimp. read more

See all

Best crab Rangoon in town! Reasonable prices with big portions especially their lunch specials.

Unfortunately we have tried coming back to this restaurant several times and out of the 3 or 4 we have been disappointed. We feel like it's quite a bit more than our normal place located in Covington so I guess we will be talking a short drive for Chinese food for now on. I think the biggest surprise and final straw was that they don't include white rice with the dishes. $55 on food & not a box of steamed white rice. We won't go back, this time for good read more

I'm so glad I found Lucky Chopsticks- they have the best orange chicken I've ever had (and I've had a lot). Great service, very friendly waitstaff, and pretty authentic food! Also, a really good price! read more

Ordered here through doordash, something weird happened to my order and I still don't know what happened mostly due to the fact when the doordash driver gave the phone to the lady in the resturant she instantly started screaming at me as I tried to ask what happened and figure it out. She would not even listen to a word I was saying and kept screaming at me until the doordash driver took the phone back, in which I could hear her still screaming at him in the background. Horrible experience, horrible customer service. Will never order or dine here again since they obviously dont value their customers and decide to scream at someone trying to figure some confusion out. read more

I think other Yelpers have really underrated this restaurant. To eliminate any confusion, this space used to be home to one of the two locations of Golden Phoenix, a different restaurant which still operates, now at a single location in Covington. The new owners for the Maple Valley space changed the name, but kept the previous owners' menu largely intact, however they stepped everything up a notch. Golden Chopsticks is a substantial improvement. The dishes now seem to have much brighter flavors and better texture, the presentation is more attractive, and the service is more warm and personal. The generous BBQ pork appetizer is a (delicious) meal in itself. A couple of of my favorite (among many) standout dishes is the Golden Sesame Chicken and the Crispy Orange Beef (beautifully presented encircled with orange slices). Soup lovers will love the textbook egg flower soup. It would be impossible to list all of the dishes that are made really well at Golden Chopsticks. The restaurant has a full bar, and they feature a delicious array of classic tropical cocktails, which perfectly compliment Asian cuisine. Hint: order the "Scorpion Bowl" for two...you won't regret it. The decor at Golden Chopsticks is several notches above all of the other Asian Restaurants in and around Maple Valley. The space is charming, bright, extremely clean, and comfortable. Of course, the entire menu is available for takeout as well. Maple Valley now has many new restaurants, and residents naturally tend to flock to the newest option. But if you haven't been to Golden Chopsticks for a while, you owe it to yourself to go back. Great food and a very good value for your hard-earned dollar. read more

Tasty Chinese in maple valley! Food is pretty consistent and service is excellent. Recommend the string beans and pork/beef, great brown garlic sauce. Solid hot and sour and the BEST BBQ pork around, get it warm! read more

I was excited to finally try the honey walnut prawns my husband had been raving about. They were good but the resulting stomach cramps and nausea all night lead me to believe something wasn't right. The kids had sweet and sour chicken which looked like deep fried chicken toes and the red sauce tasted very fishy. Literally. I'm glad they all had a better experience last time. read more

We had a very excellent dinner tonight I had the General Taos chicken it was actually crunchy like it supposed to be. The fried rice is different then the standard very delicious. My wife had the Scheczwan shrimp with fried rice and chicken chow main. The dinners also come with egg rolls and chicken fingers deep fried like tempera. We hadn't been there in a long we forgot what we were missing. Can't wit to go back and went home full ad with 3 take home boxes of left overs. Great pricing. One of Maple Valleys finest. read more

This place is horrible. Sat. 3/22 my family and I went to Moon's Garden across the street and that place was packed. Because we were starving we decided to go to this place. When we got there no other customers were in the restaurant and I now know why. We've eaten here before and the food is okay, that's why we go to Moon's Garden, better food. Took a loot at the menu and everything is around 1 to 2 dollars more than Moon's, okay not that big of a deal. I ask the server, "can I switch out the House Special (whatever it was) for the Mongolian Beef? Since it's less than the house will I be charged a change fee"? "Yes, that is our policy". Hey buddy, I understand policy but no one is eating at your place and it's a Sat night. You may want to change your policy or close shop. We left this place and went to another of our favorites 4 Corners Teriyaki. read more

It is getting worse. They just aren't trying anymore. So sad too. The last couple of times our takeout just has not warranted the price. Vegetables have been mushy, fried items not fried until crispy, sauces tasting more like packaged/container sauces, etc. We really liked this place just a little over a year ago. Honestly, we will probably be giving them one, maybe two more chances (simply because they are convenient to Maple Valley) and if things don't pick back up, we'll be done with them. read more

This place is awesome for Chinese food! Great price, lots of food and the people that work there are REALLY nice. Their BBQ'd pork is the best I have ever had!!! Don't miss out on trying this. All of their food has depth in flavor, it's not just fried lumps of meat in their Kung Pow chicken, it has a great garlicky flavor, then the sweet and spicy on top of it. Highly recommend! read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant ever. Their food doesn't compare to anyone else's. I have always loved my food 100% every single time and now will only eat Chinese from here. I've been going for years and will continue to go for many more years to come. The almond chicken is one of the best things on the menu!! read more

This the absolute worst Chinese food ever!! Flavorless, bland. The sweet and sour looked and tasted like colored water. So disappointing!! The only positive was that the service was quick. I do not recommend this place at all! read more

Surprisingly the restaurant does not seem busy but then again there are a lot of take out orders. The owners are very nice and cook a delicious meal. I enjoy the general tsaos as well as their fried rice. The setting is dim and peaceful an the music is relaxing. I come here whenever I am in this area and recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Went for the first time last night. Food was good, surprisingly good. But service was worse than lousy.

I've been coming here for years, even when I lived in Auburn I would make the trip up here for take out or dine in. I would come on Tuesday or Wednesday nights as those usually are the less crowded nights. Friday and Saturday night tend to be pretty crowded and can slow things down. Love the food! Always comes out piping hot and the different sauces are delicious. read more

Friendly and fast tell out service. Food was fresh and not greasy. Ymmm.....I am ready for leftovers.

Ideally, I honestly haven't had any food from this restaurant in years since I was a young kid. Recently I moved back to the mainland and kept driving past here! My younger brother loves their fried rice and finally after convincing myself and Dad we went in one Saturday night. They have these large combo plates that literally have it all, and they're HUGE in portion! I ordered the Mongolian chicken! It's very peppery and when I asked the woman who was serving us, she was from Hong Kong! It was delicious! The portion was massive and so we were able to take some home. It's truly your classic Chinese restaurant that has it bright pink sweet and sour chicken sauce. The interior is comfortable and seemingly clean! The only odd part is the excessive amount of ice that they fill each water cup with! After trying the variety of General Taos chicken and Kung Poa, it was perfect. Crispy where it needed to be and not too much peanut over powering the protein! I'd be back to enjoy this local place! I was shocked by the immense amount of take out orders they had. I'm sure the vast majority of their business is all take out, wonder when they'll start to deliver!!! Thanks for an awesome dinner! read more

Good food. Not amazing however a great option for the area. I had Mongolian beef, I am an onion lover and I had to leave some on the plate!

Came in ordered take out. Cashier rang me up twice accidentally. Food took 40 minutes (only ordered 3 items). While waiting for food two other people came in to pickup and the food wasn't ready for them either. Seemed very slow. Cashier was nice. Food was decent. Food seems around $10-12 per entree. Wasn't bad. Probably won't order take out again from there. read more

Always good every time we have been. The string beans are my favorite and are always fresh and garlicky, just how I love them.
