Brief history lesson: This place originally used to be in a charming little building on the north side of Market Street. That was probably my initiation into Vietnamese food, or at least close to it. That restaurant added a second location here, and then somehow lost the original location, a complicated business which got some coverage from local news. The old location is under new management, so I think at least that this is the closest thing to Lucky Corner that still exists. The dish I ordered is a tad confusing, it's tofu with salted peppers (as opposed to salt and pepper), although either label would have been accurate, as it is a strong salt and pepper flavor but there were some jalapenos as well. The ginger is what really makes it. They have a good size vegetarian menu (which marks which dishes can be made vegan, though some of the ones that can't are headscratchers). It's overall a net positive. This location lacks the charm of the original, but it's good food. read more

Out of town for work and my co-workers wanted Vietnamese cuisine and we came upon this establishment. They did not disappoint. The service, food, and setting was amazing. The server was outstanding. We had a party of 5 and the server did not write down anyone's order and was able to bring everyone's request without any mistakes. He was superb. He stayed on top of drinks and everything else that we needed. The food was served hot and every morsel was succulent. Everyone in our party really enjoyed there food. Speaking with the server, this restaurant has been a staple in the Frederick community years. Which was evident by the many awards that they had displayed on their wall. Glad I got to experience this great food and can vouch that you can believe the hype. read more

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat. Their curry is the best curry I've ever had. I am at a loss for words to describe how amazing it is. The chicken was buttery, creamy, and overall amazing. I also had their Vietnamese coffee, which is similar to Thai milk tea but just coffee flavored. read more

Lucky Corner - Curry Chicken - Ca Ri Ga - Vietnamese Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

We used to love this place, but lately the quality of the food has gone downhill. This is the 3rd time in a row we've had a subpar experience. Tonight the shrimp was rotten and we had to toss the entire papaya salad. We can't believe they would even send that out! The beef in the pho didn't taste fresh and the broth seemed like it had come out of a can. The summer rolls and chicken vermicelli didn't taste fresh either. It's disappointing and we won't be ordering from here anymore. read more

Our friend recommended this restaurant and we are SO glad we tried it! This is easily one of our new favorite restaurants. The service was awesome - our server was very attentive and nice, and the food came out very quickly and beautifully! We will be back! Side note: this was easily the best fried rice I've ever had in my life! You have to order a side of it! read more

This was my second time here! Last time I enjoyed the Pho Ga and this time I tried the Pumpkin Chicken Curry. Both we're delicious! The Pho comes with an assortment of toppings to enhance the flavor to your liking. Today we came for the lunch portion and it was still a large helping. The Pumpkin Chicken Curry is based in a flavorful red curry coconut sauce and you can modify the heat level to your liking. My only critique is that last time I was here, they were a little understaffed and our service was slow and many people had a wait to be seated because they were very busy at dinner time. However, this time at lunch the service was very prompt. Overall I recommend Lucky Corner especially at lunch time! They have a very extensive menu so you are sure to find something you enjoy! read more

Updated review. Still amazing service and all our dishes were hot and tasted delicious. The grape leaves were very tasty with an Asian twist. Vermicelli bowls are a bit smaller than a typical Vietnamese restaurant maybe since it was lunch. So happy every time I have visited. read more

I found this when I was looking for vegan options in Frederick. From the welcome to the wait staff to the food, it was absolutely a stellar experience. we were there around 1:30 on a weekday, and it was packed. I had the veggie bowl and veggie spring rolls. My brother-in-law had pineapple chicken fried rice. Everything was amazing, and I can't wait to go back. I can't recommend this place enough. Just amazing. read more

Amazing place! Local favorite so i had to try it! I'm a pho lover so had to try the pho house special. Excellent taste in broth alone even before adding a few things from the plate of fixings provided. Some apps while we waited for the food: fresh simmer rolls and spring rolls! One one order of pho we asked for the meat on the side. The broth is so hot and still cooking once it comes to the table that it cooks me meat to my liking of medium rare for the good chew. Every waiter/waitress come around and check on each table really covering everyone making sure they're being fully attended. Didn't have to wait long for a table since it was lunch rush. read more

Don't get Pad Thai with the Beef. Meat was chewy like leather and left a really bad aftertaste. Live too far to return it, so I had to toss it. Inedible. read more

Food is delicious even though we had a couple of times when the flavors were off, but they are regularly consistent, we are always pleasantly satisfied we the service and the time the food comes out. The restaurant is always clean it looks inviting. My only complaint is that nobody tells that if you pay with a card instead of cash they charge you with additional 3%, the waiter should make you aware but nobody says anything, so if you don't pay attention to your ticket they surprise is there! read more

I actually ordered 2 large pho and summer rolls via GrubHub. Extra broth that I had purchased did not make it home and the gentleman on the phone was very quick and efficient to offer me a refund. Now let's talk about the PHO. I consider myself rather a foodie. THESE PHO WERE THE BEST I HAVE EVER TASTED ANYWHERE IN ANY OTHER VIETNAMESE RESTAURANTS EVER. I usually love exciting tastes like party in my mouth so I add lots of hoisin and sriracha to it but the broth was so deep that I barely put in any sauces, the portion was generous, even the extra brisket I've added was plentiful. Tonight my belly is very happy and I will def be visiting this place in person!!!!! Thank you for making me happy tonight! What a gem. read more

I am not sure if the owner has realized the money they are losing because of the staff that handles the take out orders . In three!! Different occasions my large orders have been taken by someone else. I am sure the restaurant is eating all these losses. The food is great but when the staff is incompetent it really makes no difference. ... They dont even check who is taking what !!!! read more

Lucky Corner - My order for today, for which I had to wait 1.5 hours. This is the third time the staff lets someone else take my order - Vietnamese Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Take out order. Very popular place. Bordering on being insanely popular on Saturdays. Even if you order take out expect to wait a little beyond you estimated time of readiness. Don't be rude to the hostess if your food is running a little late. Also follow their policies on masks. They do ask for people to wear masks unless they are seated at a table. Numerous Karen's giving the lovely hostess issues were not wearing masks. The food is well worth waiting for. The wife's duck potstickers were wonderful and they weren't stingy on the duck meat either. My crispy veggie spring rolls could have being a main by themselves. Wonderful, crispy and the fillings gave the right balance. Vermicelli with coconut beef was again wonderful. The right amount of beef, perfectly seasoned and it will be on a repeat order. My crispy egg noodles with veggies, tofu in a garlic sauce were also great. I wish I had noticed that it contained cilantro. But that among all the dishes can be easily modified and substituted. We'll be back! Saddened that we hadn't tried this place before.... read more

great food, but service is terrible, i believe it's because me and my boyfriend are a young couple, most people don't take us serious as customers, but both times we've came to eat here, the servers we had were young hispanic women, just made me feel rushed while im ordering my food and also feeling rushed to leave while im still eating my food. everything else is perfect! just wish i didn't get this treatment back to back read more

Amazing restaurant, the foods is so delicious, and the owner very friendly. From San Jose Ca

Service OK but dishes took a long time to come out. Vermicelli nicely cooked but chicken skewers and grilled pork were over cooked and tough. Skewers were dry (reheated in microwave?). Prawn with pepper tasted fresh but sauce was sweet and cloying. There was no Bun Cha on the menu and our server had never heard of it... Price was so-so. Not a terrible meal but not very good either. There are better Vietnamese places out there. (And for the record, I've been to Vietnam and number of times on business so have a little experience in the cuisine). read more

Good food! It took time though for our food to arrive. You have to get appetizer while waiting. read more

Lucky Corner - Pho soup, Grilled Pork with Lemongrass- Com Heo Nuong Xa, Seafood Combination - Do Bien Xao Thap Cam, Lucky Fried Rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I was visiting a friend who lived in Frederick and was looking for an Asian restaurant for us to try. Lucky Corner came up in my internet search and after looking at photos of the food, I was salivating and sold on coming here. The restaurant is located in a busy shopping center. The lot was packed on a Friday night. As we entered the restaurant, the first thing that caught my eyes were the multiple recognitions (Yelp, Best of Frederick, and Zagat) they received in 2016. It took a minute or two before we were seated. The ambience is very modern and I loved the decor, in particular, the light fixtures and the large prints of Vietnam. Imani was our server. She was very personable and helpful when I asked what dishes were popular and what her recommendations were. I was debating between the Cubed Beef Steak, Seafood Combination, Filet of Chilean Sea Bass. I decided to go with the Cubed Beef Steak and my friend got the Caramelized Fish. We started off with the Grilled Shrimp Rolls as an Appetizer. The shrimp was grilled and the roll was stuffed with vermicelli, lettuce, cilantro, and a crunchy stick (I think sugarcane). The peanut sauce was sweeter than I had which I liked and wasn't as thick as I'm used to. I loved the rolls even though I was hesitant when my friend ordered it. When our entrees arrived, and I started to eat the steak my first reaction was that it was salty followed by that it was TOO spicy. I don't recall if it was indicated on the menu that it was spicy, as it doesn't show on the menu online. Had I known, I probably wouldn't have ordered it as I have a low tolerance for spicy food. I probably should've sent it back, but I just powered through and tried to eat it. I thought it was just ground black peppers which I'm fine with, but then I saw the red and green peppers, no wonder why my mouth was on FIRE! My friend thought her fish was good but that it could have been simmered longer so that it was more marinated throughout the whole fish. I actually enjoyed it as it's been a long time since I had it. For dessert, we each got flan which was delightful. The downside is when we got back to my friend's car and throughout the night, I was feeling nauseous and was in the bathroom frequently even into the next day. I hope it was just the spiciness as I really liked everything I ate minus the steak. Despite feeling bad, I still want to come back as I loved everything I had minus the steak. I plan to try the other dishes I was wavering between. read more

Good PHO and full menu vietnamese restaurant. I've always been a fan of their original location. I can't say if the quality varies between the two, but their smaller location definitely has more of that mom and pop feel to it. Everything looked pretty good here, though, and the service was very good. In comparison to most Viet places where you never see the waiter after your food is ordered, here they fill your water and check in on you regularly. The Pho had a mild but flavorful broth. Good serving of noodles, moderate meat portion. The vegetable plate was full, cleaned and fresh. The one thing we didn't like here was the Lettuce Wrap appetizer. I've had it at another place (Pholuscious) which I liked much better. Here the meat was kind of bland and the red onions were the overpowering taste. Will come back for the Pho and to try other items on the menu. They also seem to have full bar, which is nice. A large Pho was $10 and the medium was $9. So I guess go for the large for an extra $1 if you are in doubt of how hungry you are. They list a small on the menu for $6, but they no longer offer it. read more

I stopped by for dinner on a Monday night after hearing that my fav pho spot downtown moved to this location after all this time. I truly wanted to love this place but it totally missed the boat on the pho. And here's why: the broth was not very hot (lukewarm at best when the sauces eventually arrived), the noodles were over cooked (breaking apart as I used with my chopsticks), the quality of the meat was low grade (particularly the steak - pho tai), and the soup was not clear and flavorful (too much MSG perhaps). I ended up giving Lucky Corner three starts because the staff did their best to provide good service (we only waited 10-15 mins to get seated, our waitress was friendly and polite, and it was surprisingly busy on a Monday night), the atmosphere was nice (clean, well decorated, and much more spacious than the original location), and unfortunately, they seemed very understaffed so that might've contributed to the downsides. But given the notice of their price increase starting in March and based on the experience I just had, Lucky Corner is not the place I will be going to for pho. I may return to try something else on the menu but not for that. read more

I personally love this restaurant. The food is superb and so authentic. All the staffs are so kind, attentive and welcoming. The chefs are amazing and so knowledgeable when it comes to TASTE and FLAVORS. The ambiance is comforting and feels like you are coming to your parent's house to eat. Everything on the menu is great, some of our favorites are Nam nuong rolls, summer rolls, Spring rolls, spicy lemongrass chili pork, beef stew, the fried flounder, papaya salad, mango salad, lime beef salad, mini pancakes, tamarind wings, and whatever else the chef recommends. We literally tried almost the whole menu! . read more

Dined-in last night for the first time. Absolutely enjoyable experience from start to finish. I feel Lucky Corner does it right! I have enjoyed their takeout twice and when a friend came by and wanted to take me to dinner, I wanted to give Lucky Corner dine-in a try. Was not at all disappointed, actually was surprised at how much we enjoyed this restaurant. From the hostess greeting, our server (and I am really bummed I did not catch her name because she was EXCELLENT), the staff that came by to clear off our table, and the FOOD-ALL EXCELLENT! We ordered the duck dumplings, mussels (server recommended), sea bass and soft shell crab (also server recommended), a pot of jasmine tea, and mango sticky rice (server favorite). When I say we were dancing in our seats with each bite....party in my mouth with all the delicious flavors, spices, and just goodness of every dish prepared. I am fairly new to this area, here not quite a year yet, and Lucky Corner is my favorite find. Your staff are amazing, your food is amazing, and for a full Friday night restaurant, I did not feel like the noise level was at all bothersome as it can get at some busy restaurants. Oh, and it being a busy Friday night, top notch attention from our server also from start to finish, and our meals coming out from the kitchen in a reasonable time-hit! Last thing I'll mention is that it was a pleasure to eat at a restaurant where EVERY staff person greeted me with a smile! All and all a truly fabulous experience!! Thank you Lucky Corner-you have a new, true fan!!! read more

If i were to rate the pho at Lucky corner i'd say it's par. Its just ok. The portion size is on the lighter side, the broth is not as savory as other places and the price is ok. Probably not going back here. read more

I love this restaurant for its extensive menu ranges from pho to rolls to curry to rice and noodles. It's tucked into the Westview shopping center right off I-270, so it's not off the beaten path and easy to find. Plenty of parking. This place gets busy with a lot of folks happily ordering takeout or dining in (back when the pandemic wasn't imposing so many restrictions). I hope that when the pandemic ends that they will continue to have a business as thriving as when I first went here- people packed in tightly into every corner and central table with others awaiting for a seat. The food here is good and fresh. They have pho, so many might come just for that. However, what I really love about Lucky Corner is their menu is very friendly to those who have gluten concerns or who have vegan restrictions. Per usual of Vietnamese restaurants with detailed menus, they also have spicy markings for how hot the food is, which is nice. The food is so good, I love it. I can't help but get rice noodles, because I think my body is half rice anyways, so I need more rice whenever I can get it. Pho is ok, but most of the time I'd rather have a stir-fried noodle dish. Their tofu with a red curry sauce and thick rice noodles is reminiscent of curry and drunken noodles all together. Love it! The portions are large, so you will be satisfied. The rice that accompanies the meals is delicious, fluffy rice, but as per my rice-based existence, I wish there was more without having to order extra. The veggies are fresh and delicious, with great flavor profiles even if it just says ginger and garlic broccoli, it's so much more! Love the tasty black pepper in the sauce, too. I love veggies though, so I do wish the serving of broccoli was greater, but for most people it will do. They also have a spinach dish and a bok hoy dish, which is very different from most Vietnamese restaurants, which is why I like this restaurant even more. I can't award 5 stars because I love Vietnamese fresh flavors most in salads and rolls, but they are not guaranteed here to be vegan or gluten-free, which is my dietary preference. I have to tell myself to try new things, but Lucky Corner is one of my favorite choices to this day when I'm eating in Frederick. read more

The food here is really good and fresh. I've eaten in and had carry out. The food is seasoned very well. The prices are very reasonable.

Went here a few days ago for dinner. I must say I plan to return! My partner and I had shrimp and veggie Pho with veggie broth. We also had a side of veggie rolls & summer rolls, with no pork or meats, just shrimp. Everything we ordered was a hit! Also went with others and they ordered pho & pineapple fried rice. I must say, that pineapple fried rice was BUSSIN! I wish I had pictures to share, but everything was ordered to go. The broth came in separate containers, veggies and limes in a separate bag. I ordered a large and could have got an extra large if offered. It was enough pho but I love some pho and think I may just have been hungry. The broth was bussin so good, I held onto it overnight and used it the next day again. I went out and brought more noodles to go with it and man was it a hit. All in all, I'll def be back and if you're looking for some good pho, try here! read more
