It's not everyday where you can walk into a Chinese Restaurant and flip a switch and then order some Trinidadian Cuisine. Well guess what you're in Luck!(pun intended). One of the factors I grade quality of Chinese Food is the Pork Fried Rice. How does the pork look, is the rice the cheap yellow type or the brown old-school type. Guess what my good fellow Yelpanese clan... they serve the old-school browned Chinese fried rice here! I ordered Egg Foo Young, Pork Fried Rice, Egg Roll & Mixed Soup. I must say, I was very very happy with everything. This place is a MUST to come back. When I'm feeling for some comfort Chinese Food. I know where I'm coming now. I'm going to Lucky Cityyyy!!! Yeahh!!!! PS - I might eat dirty tomorrow, so I'll probably eat here! Ha! read more

The Chinese fried chicken, chicken wings & house fried rice are family favorites. When I lived in Tampa & would visit family in Coconut Creek, we'd feast on this every single time. There's plenty inside seating & takeout available. read more

This place has been around for along time and I've had their food at events, to which they catered it from Lucky City. We decide to make the drive and actually sit down and try them and it was just not good. We ordered wings, fried wontons, and a few of their specials and it jus was not good. With under or overcooked. Bland tasting. They didn't even have proper plates to eat in for diners, we ate in styrofoam take out containers. The water they served was a warm, like it had been sitting there all day. read more

This was the worst doubles I've ever had the people in there looked disgusting. The food was very nasty. It tasted like cigarettes and marijuana. I would not recommend anyone to go there. These people are very nasty. Thank you very much. this establishment needs to be reviewed under sanitation. read more

Ron has been holding it down for the island community for a good 15+ years now. The food has always been good, top notch. I do have an issue with the Guyanese style fried rice. It's not authentic anymore and no cabbage and the slide of tomatoes added to the dish anymore. "Chicken in the Ruff" ;(. Use to recommend this dish to everyone. The curry is Guyanese flavor. The Roti is like the ones your mom made. All of the traditional dishes are on point. Oh, and they do Sunday Brunch, you'll need to bring an empty belly for that. read more

I've ordered trays of various items on the menu for large family events and the food is really good. Unfortunately today I went to dine in and although it was an hour before they closed, the miniature I walked in and said table for 3 the lady behind the counter (not welcoming) put her finger up and said no. I had to quickly rush outside to stop my elderly parents from coming in. A man came and took my order to go and as I was about to sit down while waiting, a group of 4 came in and asked to dine in. Again the lady was no pleasant and reminded them they close at 8pm. I understand the owners were prob tired after a long day but to refuse dine in service an hour before you close is ridiculous. The group of 4 sat down and ordered while I waited. At that point I was not going yo signal to my parents to come in because I really wasn't in the mood to tip someone got crappy service with an attitude. To be fair the food was delicious and I had a nice sit down dinner at home in the comfort of my home. I will order in the future because of the food but I will not be dinning in. read more

Food is very very good. Well seasoned and fresh. I love the chicken in the rough. Friend staff is always accommodating to any food allergies that my family & friends do have. They have been feeding me for the better part of 15 years. read more

My local go to spot for Guyanese style Chinese/West Indian food. Always friendly staff happy to see you walk in the door. Quiet restaurant with lots of seats for dine in option, very laid back ambience. They carry fresh wesindian pastries and desserts. Their soup on the weekend is absolutely delicious and worth a try. read more

I don't know how this place is still in business. After not coming here for a few years I said I'd try it again...ummm not a good idea. These people really gave me egg drop soup with a few kernels of corn and told me it was corn soup....I thought they were Trini but clearly they have no idea what corn soup is supposed to be. The roti had no taste and I could go on and on but it's a waste of time. I could only think that the people who come here just do not want to drive far or anywhere else for good Trini food. I mean Shalima's is right on 441 and Royal Palm.. Not super far way but people consciously come here on purpose...that I can't understand read more

First time ordering. Jerk chicken large, hot and sour soup, 2 doubles and roti. Was packaged perfectly for take out. Line was long but went quickly. A guy walked in without a mask and they sent him asap outside to wait. The hot sauce here is ON FIRE and I can handle the spiciest of spice. WOO OOOO. Was good but warning - don't pour that whole container in the soup. Hot in a good way ... for me. I will be back. read more

Driving past this place often I decided to stop. Empty, one other customer but I was welcomed in with a warm welcome from a gentleman who allowed me to sit wherever. I ordered oxtails and chose a drink also got a corn and chicken soup. My cabbage was phenomenal nice and buttery. Later a woman helped me as I was checking out and she was pleasant as well. My seat was comfortable and tables were clean. read more

I recently moved to the area, I have been trying different restaurants and going around the neighborhood. I saw this spot as I went to get a slice a pizza from a restaurant a few doors down. I decided later that week I was going to call and order take out. Despite the mixed reviews more bad than good honestly, I wanted to be the judge. I knew I wanted lo mein just didn't know exactly what protein to get. I ask the female who answered what types of lo mein they had she responded " whatever you want."Ok, fine I got a basic chicken lo mein. The females attitude was dismissive and unprofessional over the phone. She proceeded to ask "that's it? Gives me my total and hangs up without giving me a time when it would be ready or a thanks or maybe a bye. I probably would've order more things to try but I felt rushed like if I was a bother. I go into the restaurant thinking maybe it was busy and that was the reason she was rushing. The restaurant was super gloomy and dark, with one man inside sitting at a table. I get my food from an older female and I knew instantly that was exactly who I spoke to. Same demeanor in person like I was bothering her. I saw an older male on the phone taking an order and I wished he would've answered when I called. I go home and I must say the lo mein was very tasty. I wished the noodles weren't overcooked but the taste was there. Three stars because the chicken lo mein was hot, tasty, and had a generous amount of chicken. I just wished my experience was different and maybe this could've been my take out spot close to home. read more

Good food, very tasty. Customer service good Delicious roti and Dahl Pourri And the pastries are also delicious read more

Food was exactly what I was hunting down and looking for after Ramandan 2023. I was on a mission and not only do they have Halal meats, but they have 3 types of my favorite foods - Chinese, Indian & Caribbean!! Yaaasss please Note: it will take over 15 mins before you get your food regardless if you call it in or sit in. This was my first time eating from this establishment and I thoroughly enjoyed the Trinidadian cooking! Delicious! Thanks Auntie!! read more

Very disappointed that the owners wife would ask us to place our order for takeout when we were sitting at a table waiting to be served all because another person from a cricket team came into the establishment intoxicated and started to curse at my husband. The right and fair thing to do was to ask the intoxicated person to leave. LUCKY CITY I'm very disappointed and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone read more

Food was just as horrible as the service! Never again he was so rude to me and I still paid for the food and when I came back to ask for egg rolls instead he said he's gonna give me back my money & dismissed me! read more

4% credit card fee!!!! If you take the time to read this review, I think for most people that have visited a few times, it will hit close to home. I don't think this is a one time event, I truly think they are like this with everyone after speaking with a few other customers and just don't care. I just don't understand how this place is still in business! Over the years, I've tolerated with A LOT because they are just about the only option for Chinese-style Trini food in the area. I don't think I have ever received great service; 90% of it accept as just their personalities and 10% i put towards them having a bad day. I recently received the worse service ever from the owner, Ron. I called in to place an order...a very simple order, nothing customized. He answered "hello". I was so used to his wife Geeta answering that i wasn't sure if i called the correct number. I said "hi, is this lucky city?". He said "yes"...then dead air. No "yes, how may I help you, yes can I take your order", nothing. Whatever, moving on. I placed my order and all I got was an "OK". He didn't tell me how long, didn't repeat it, didn't tell me a price...nothing. After a few seconds if dead silence, I hung up. When I arrive at the restaurant to pick up my food, he's the only one in there. After being in the service industry before, I understand how it can be sometimes, but at the same time, with him being the owner, he should've done better. He rings up my order, all while going back and forth to his cell phone. The receipt prints and by that point, he's so into his phone he didn't even notice. I reached over and grabbed the receipt, said good night, and left. When I get to the car, I look at the receipt and see a 3.9% charge added onto my bill. It's a convenience charge for using a credit card! When I went back to ask about it, he rudely told me that he had it posted on the door. And it all made sense. He knows his customers will be outraged by this new fee, so he didn't make any attempt to get me my receipt. Soon enough, he'll probably set the register not to print detailed receipts. I have tolerated them enough over the years. If you are a frequent visitor, you'll know what I mean. They are just so...ugh. This is the first review i have ever written anywhere...and all because i received such poor service from a business owner...not just an employee. As customers, we deserve better. I work too hard to give my money to a business that doesn't have any respect nor care to show you that they care for your business. They feel they can do this because they know there's not many choices in the area, but either drive down to Hibiscus or Tropics, or find a recipe to make your own Chinese-style Trini food!!! And P.S...the food tasted like yesterday's leftovers...which is not even surprising. It has always been a hit or miss with them. read more

First time after a friend recommended... terrible roti. Dough was dry and hard, filling had no flavor, taste like canned pumpkin and bland spinach can't say much about the chickpeas since I only got 5 beans read more

They should change the restaurant name to Unlucky City Restaurant. I walked in this dive because it was beside my grocery store. This isn't a real restaurant, it's pretending to be a restaurant, probably a money laundering thing if I had to guess. Zero customer service, temperature was 75 degrees in the restaurant, and waited 25 minutes for my take out. The Doubles were ok, the fried rice was awful, the pork was ok, and the chicken was the worst fatty boney cuts possible. I will not return and I don't recommend dining here. read more

Finally! I've been looking for a West Indian-Chinese restaurant here in Broward, similar to the ones you find in queens, NY, for the longest! I couldn't find anything that looked like the real deal...until now!) Located next to a huge dollar tree and Winn Dixie, you might over look and not even notice this place, unless you're really looking for it. Which honestly, you should be! PLACE: Walking in, the place is exactly what you'd expect to find in your average west Indian-Chinese spot. Colorful lights, chutney/soca/calypso/Caribbean music playing from the speakers, table set up with HOT pepper sauce, big TVs for those cricket matches, and someone ready to take your order. There are lots of tables and booth on both side of the restaurant! What really stood out to me, is that they carry both Trini & Guyanese food! (Yes, there is a difference & that in a good way) They carry Guyanese style black pudding (with rice), as well as Trini style (without rice). They serve your favorite Caribbean beer like Carib and red stripe. The pepper shrimp is slamming. The indo-Chinese style chicken is perfect and the fried rice is spot on! PRICE is very reasonable. You get pretty big portions for what you pay and you can order ahead and pick up, which I saw a lot of people do when we went in. We ordered from the combination menu, one big, one small and that total to about $20. The small had pepper shrimp (5), fried rice & lo mein. The large had chicken with fried rice and lo mein. They also sell party trays around 50$ for in those huge silver trays. Service is friendly and gladly willing to explain what certain items are if you aren't familiar. Cant wait to come back and dine in to try some appetizers followed by a cold beer! Just an fyi, this is completely different from what you'd get from a regular Chinese take out. (But you can learn about that if you Google; West Indian Chinese/ Caribbean Indian Chinese food ;) read more

I was craving Caribbean food but I didn't want to drive far to get. Lucky City was the closest place. I really wished I wasn't being lazy, because this was by far the worst food I've ever had!!! The place looks really run down and dark, but I don't really judge restaurants by the way they look, so I decided to order away anyway. I ordered the whole red snapper with white rice. Rice was horrible. How do you mess up white rice? The fish had no flavor and it tasted like something they caught and they let it sit out all day. It was like they just decided to cook it since I was probably their last customer of the day. I know it was close to closing time, but if you know the food is old and not up to your standards, why serve it to the public? This was my first and last time eating there. If they are willing to serve bad food to people, that tells me they don't really care about their brand. read more

I came here for their $12 Sunday brunch buffet. For the price, it's a very good deal. The selection isn't huge but most of the food that they served was very good. My favorite was definitely the lomein and their Chinese chicken dish. If I come back in the future to get takeout, it's definitely what I'll be ordering. If you like your food spicy, make sure to get the pepper sauce; it tastes excellent. read more

Located in Margate, next to Winn Dixie, you might pass by if you weren't looking for it. The decor needs some work. I wasn't impressed by the ladies who greeted me when I walked in, they were dressed to kill in outfits that must have been purchased at an Imelda Marcos estate sale; with attitudes to match... It seemed as if they weren't paying enough attention to their (don't know if they actually owned it) restaurant. Maybe one day they'll put more effort into the food. Again, the food was ok but it was missing the home cooked charm that you can taste at Priya's Roti Shop. Because the two places are located so close to each other, I can't recommend Lucky City. Drive an extra 1.5 miles and head to Priya's, you'll be happy that you did. read more

If you like Caribbean/Indian with a little Chinese thrown in (fried rice;Chinese chicken), try their (only on Sunday) lunch buffet. Some choice are mild & some spicy. Lots of vegetarian selections like fried okra, stewed tomatoes & onions, spinach, mashed pumpkin, brown stewed chicken, curried chicken, fish in two different sauces, pita/roti/naan bread, eggplant,etched. Selections vary. Some kind of soup; melon for desert... Well worth it for $11.95! read more

Ordered take out. Fried rice and chinese veg lo mein. It was absolutely delicious!! Definitely will be back.

I would give this place 5 stars if their service and decor matched their flavorful, amazing, authentic food. We were there on a Friday night at 5:30 and were the only ones actually sitting down to eat. The owner gave us a sample of some sort of a chickpea "taco" and recommended a delicious beer. The curry goat and roti was delicious as was the jerk pork. The phone rang off the hook and there were many people walking in to pick up their to-go orders. This is definitely a take-out restaurant and the owners have made it very clear that they are not used to patrons sitting- one of the tables in the middle of the restaurant had the makings of an office (see pic). Nonetheless, the food was terrific and it made for everything. Plenty of leftovers! read more

I'm not the type to complain if food isn't always to my liking... but I have to reach out this time and complain about a few things. For starters I'm sick and wanted some Chinese soup. I ordered my husband and I some dinner here tonight. I get into the car and take a bite of the crackers they use to throw in your soup. Completely stale. As if they've been sitting out for weeks. I was going to let that go and continue my drive home. But I was curious at this point with what else I'd find. Took a bite of the beef I ordered...extremely chewy. Not even digestible. If you can turn a piece of beef into chewing gum they did that hands down. Then I look at the mustard packet they gave me and it's dark brown. Usually they are very light yellow. Just one concern after another that this place serves stale and old food? I hate to complain but I had to take the food back. read more
