Really good food. Probably should not have picked NYE to try them for the first time. We ordered general gau's and ended up with kung pao. It was a mad house - all kinds of mayhem - so you have to kinda expect orders to be wrong. But we liked it so we'll go 4 stars vs 5 I heard them talking about other orders they messed up. I'll try them again on a normal day read more

Lucky Dragon - Pu Pu For Two - Chinese Near Me - Salem, New Hampshire

I usually order from Yang Ming, but figured tonight we would try a different place. Bad idea. I ordered General Gau chicken. What I got was definitely not general gau chicken. it tastes like spoiled duck sauce with a TON of salt on less than pleasant chicken chunks. No sweet and spicy taste. Just salt, to the point where I feel like someone spilled a salt shaker in it. Crab Rangoon was very greasy. Pork Fried rice and Lo Mein were just ok. But the general Gau chicken... I will never order from Lucky Dragon again. Yuck. read more

Delivery.. Tina O. nailed it. I have bent over backwards to be nice to this guy. I explained I prepaid the $5.00 tip. He said I dont see that, it says you owe $35.37 yep I ordered 2 items a D plate and a small beef lo Mein...Come to think of it ohh yep tax anyways....He seemed upset I wanted change from a $50.00 I kept saying that $35.37 is me pre paying your tip.I understand its a bitch to make a living. I have tried to connect with this delivery guy (tattooed dude) because I want him to know I am on his side I am all about tipping hard working ladies and men but he cant even say thank you and seems ..I feel like he thinks I am lying about the tip being pre paid. ..Its every time ..He has yelled at me for asking for mayonaise..I hope he realizes I am on the working mans side..someday...but he needs to stop delivery and start realizing ...Some of us are just hungry..not out to get you... read more

No. Just no. I ordered on Thanksgiving. I usually cook, but unfortunately, I had a death in the family that just didn't sit right with us to cook and celebrate, so we all did our own thing. I decided to give Lucky Dragon a try. I'm not picky, but for the prices they charge, the portions you get, and the quality of the food just does not add up. When you order online, you're able to choose a pickup time, I chose my time and received a call 15 minutes prior to my pickup time, asking where I was and how they wanted to leave because they closed "soon", soon being 9:30 and they called me at 9:05. I explained I put my pickup time because thats how long it would take me to get there and them cook the food, etc. I could see if I ordered a large order 5 minutes before close, but I ordered a $30 order almost 45 minutes prior to closing. One item was a combo, which came in a large rice container. I wouldn't recommend them to anybody. Small portions are an understatement. Bad quality of food and being rushed is not good customer service. They should've just called back and rejected the order . As I arrived, they were all outside loading into their vans at 9:17 P.M. while staring and what I assumed was saying negative things. Maybe they couldn't afford to close on Thanksgiving, who knows; I don't think it being Thanksgiving and them working was the issue, as many other complaints seem to seal the deal with what I dealt with tonight. OH, then after placing the order, I received a text saying they received the order and then one minute later received another saying my order was ready for pickup . I won't be returning. Picture in post. Stay away, and make toast or something. Because something tells me I'll soon have the Taco Bell affect and spend my night in the bathroom instead of doing my black Friday shopping read more

Lucky Dragon - Order - Chinese Near Me - Salem, New Hampshire

Food was not bad til I found a STAPLE in my fried noodles...guess I won't be eating there anytime soon.

For a Chinese takeaway place I was very surprised when I stopped in for a late weeknight dinner. For you hisory buffs, Dennis reports that this building used to be a KFC! I got a combination plate which had boneless spareribs, pork lo-main, and chicken fingers, and an egg roll. The order was cooked fast and the service friendly. I dining room had a number of tables, all were clean and the floor clean as well. When I got home, the meal was really good. Not greasy, and very fresh tasting. It looked and tasted like a lot of care went into the meal. I will definably go back for more, I think that Mei-Hoo up the road was the best place for takeout, and after eating here I am not so sure. read more

Absolutely horrible ! Chow mein chicken all fat, meat not fresh, bones spar ribs fat and burnt, rice not flavor and greasy! I will never return! Do t waste your time ordering from there! I got extremely sick probably food poisoning. read more

Decent place to stop for Chinese takeout along the Salem commercial strip. It's an order at the counter place with table seating in the front and complementary hot tea offered. The menu offers a good selection of the basic Chinese dishes and chef's specialties at reasonable prices. They also offer 10 Lunch Specials with choice of appetizer ($4.65-$7.00) and 28 All Day Dinner Combo Plates ($7.15-$9.15). See the full menu at http://www.luckydragonsalem.com/ I've been here a few times and the portions here are very generous for the combo specials, a good portion of the main dish dominated by a big pile pork fried rice. The food here is filling and tastes decent. The service here is quick after placing the order. read more

Lucky Dragon - two cars parked in front of a restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Salem, New Hampshire

I knew walking in that the reviews weren't great. But Hon Sue Gai is my weakness, not many places have it, and so I took a chance. I ordered the above meal, two soups, a small chicken fried rice and scallion pancakes. I was a bit surprised when the bill was $42, as it didn't seem to add up. Then, when I was given a suitcase of food, I understood. When I ordered two soups, without specifying a size, the man chose to interpret my request as two large vats of soup, able to feed several families - rather than the more reasonable assumption that someone ordering 1 meal and 1 appetizer was unlikely to want 6 soups with that. Yeah, I didn't specify...my fault, but this felt like a money-grab. He didn't chose to inquire when I placed my order, to him, in person, either. So, the quality....the quality.... I have had Hon Sue Gai at dozens of places, small and large, gourmet and hole-in-the-wall, for over 40 years. I have never had an order as gross as this. What I expect: breaded chicken fingers, tons of vegetables, moderate amount of thick sauce What I received: thickly breaded something (I assume it may, in a past life, have been in the proximity of a chicken; but this was a firm/hard, chewy tube, with no flavor, and odd crunchy spots), almost no vegetables, floating in a casket of watery soup. I mean FLOATING. When I had choked down the meal, I had to exit the car and pour (and it ran like water) 2/3 of a container of remaining liquid down a grate, before disposing of the container. The scallion pancakes were well below average (about 3.5/10), with few scallions and little flavor beyond warm grease. They had no character, nothing to recommend them and, were all scallion pancakes like this, I would never order them again. I might not anyway. The wanton soup was surprisingly good, all things considered. Think: average. The broth did not have the expected warm dishwater taste, instead flavored by chicken stock, soy sauce and a skim of grease - perhaps a bare hint of vegital taste. The vegetables were scarce, but present, and the wantons were standard, with no discernible gristle in them. For this dining experience, a sure win. Having said that, however, drinking soup should not remind one of eating a doughnut. You know, that trashy, trans-fat flavor some doughnuts and fried goods have? If you know it, you know what I mean, if you don't, you won't care anyway. It was strongly present. The cistern (commode?) of hot and sour soup was inedible. It was full of little unidentifiable bits of ground meat. Perhaps crumbled hamburger (odd choice for a Chinese restaurant), perhaps something other? Either way, not standard for this type of soup, not expected and not in any way, shape or form a welcome addition. Ended up tossing almost the whole thing. The mystery bits were too well-incorporated to fully remove, too gross to eat, and had flavored the entire mess at any rate. Finally, the chicken fried rice. Eh.. some of the chicken tasted OK, some tasted beyond its sell-by date. There were very few added ingredients, an onion or water chestnut here and there. And the whole thing felt like it had been coated in MSG or something. I had to thoroughly wash my lips and mouth after eating, with soap, several times, to get the film off. I will say that, while the duck sauce was too sweet and not overly otherwise flavorful, there was a lot of it, and it did not appear to be artificially colored. I'm really trying to find a few silver linings here! It took us two days to eat what wasn't tossed out as "non-food", and I can't say sticking with it helped me live a long and healthy life. I really hate to waste food, but, as another reviewer suggested, I might have been better off tossing the entire meal, after the first few bites. I am now an older and wiser man, with an even older and wiser liver, stomach lining and arteries. The backside of the fortune strips in the cookies had an advertisement for the fortune cookie company...which was an appropriate capstone to the experience. read more

I think I order from this restaurant maybe once a month and it's usually for the A1 combination plate (I like to replace the pork fried rice with shrimp fried rice at times). The taste reminds me of eating a late night meal in college - savory, satisfying, and needed after a long night. read more

Lucky Dragon - A1. Beef Teriyaki, Crab Rangoon, Pork Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Salem, New Hampshire

Lucky Dragon is the most consistent Chinese food I've ever had. Always fresh always cooked just right, the crab Rangoon and fried rice are so good! Staff is always efficient and the kitchen always looks clean. read more

For Northern Chinese food it tasted great. Boneless spareribs, Teriyaki on a stick with pork fried rice is to die for in my book. Highly recommended!!! read more

I called for delivery, was told it would be 45 minutes, an hour and a half later my food showed up, the delivery person looked pissed off and my food was COLD!!!! I called to complain, and the person who answered didn't seem to care. They need to do better, I won't be ordering from them again read more

I was out in the area on a business trip for a few days and stumbled upon this place. After checking the Yelp reviews I wasn't too sure about this small little backwoods Chinese spot but I and some co-workers with me were hungry and it was here. I'm actually quite glad we stopped in. We decided to go traditional style and ordered quite a few dishes so everyone could share. We also figured that if some of the dishes were good and others bad this would help save the experience. Surprised we were. Everything was FRESH. Everything was TASTY. Also of equal importance and often lacking in similar joints - everything was HOT and delivered to the table at the same time. No waiting around for rice to eat with your delicious spicy seafood or hot pancakes to get your Mushu on. Frankly - LIT. We ordered the Mushu Pork (they called Mooshi but whatever), Shrimp w/ black bean sauce, South Winds, singapore noodles, szechuan scallops, seafood islander and diamond head. All the dishes were pretty fantastic but the shrimp w/ black bean sauce and diamond head dishes were AMAZING. We also had a few appetizers and I highly recommend both the crab rangoon and the peking ravioli and the fried jumbo shrimp were decent. I would skip the spareribs and chicken wings. Nothing special at all there in an otherwise great experience. The soups are pretty good also - standouts were hot & sour and... *shudders* chicken noodle. A surprisingly good chicken noodle in a Chinese restaurant. Push me to the edge my friends... OK - so I've ranted about this place for a bit and honestly we all surprisingly loved it. Still surprised. So what's not so great? There are a few things... It's in the middle of nowhere. It's tiny. The drink choices are a bit underwhelming but they did have a fair selection. The green tea was tasty though. The seating could be a bit more comfortable but the food made it all worth it. The owner/employees were all super friendly too. Family run place apparently. Especially friendly was a kinda younger kid they jokingly referred to as I think "Data wan kenobi"? I think it was a play off obi wan and wontons and he seemed to be their techy family member. Was somewhat endearing and he actually served our table. Much praise to him - young but great service. Although I doubt I or any of my coworkers will be out this way again - likely ever - this place was more than enough of a surprise to warrant this lengthy review. If you find yourself out here give it a shot. I doubt you will be disappointed. Thanks to Data and his family for a refreshing Chinese dining experience. read more

I honestly used to like Lucky Dragon, BUT when I saw the picture of the meat/duck hanging up on a fence outside behind the restaurant, I was appalled. I can't believe this was being done. I have never seen anything like this. I'm disgusted and will never eat there now. read more

I have been a customer since 2005. I was giving a run around tonight about my order. I spent $63.00 On food. I was told 45 minutes for delivery. One hour later, I called; he is on his way. After one our and 30 minutes I was told again another 30 minutes. I cancelled my order. I called back again, and said I should get it for free. Nope I'm done read more

This small place makes great Chinese food. I live in CA but visit family annually. I tend to visit Lucky Dragon at least three times within a week! I love their egg rolls, pork fried rice, and chicken fingers. I've tried many other things and have never been disappointed. I hope you give this place a try. I honestly think you won't be disappointed. read more

When Bob Loo retired all those years ago, I looked for the heir apparent. For sit-down Chinese, the pickin's were (and still are) pretty slim indeed in Salem. My wife visited Lucky Dragon a few times and enjoyed it, and I thought it was pretty decent. It's not really a sit-down restaurant; there are actually less tables and chairs at the Dragon that you see at most Chinese take out restaurants. The decor is gauche--a converted KFC without much of the exterior changed. While a few Asian restaurants have come and gone not 300 feet from the front door of Lucky Dragon--festooned with fancy decorations, full bars, and whatever else they threw at it, the Dragon has survived them easily. Why? The only reason I can think of is the food. The food is actually quite good... enjoyable, even! Don't get me wrong. This is not Gourmet inspired cuisine. It's Chinese take-out, plain and simple. The Dragon isn't aiming sky high; it's just providing good food that tastes freshly made at decent prices. For food orders over $10, they will even deliver it to you! What's not to love about the place? It's nestled on Rt. 28 in Salem. You can easily miss it if you don't know that you're looking for a free-standing Chinese take-out place on a busy commercial strip (hint: it's on the eastern side of the road across the street from Buchika's ski shop). Make sure you get a take-out menu when you are there, and call your order in the next time you go--even have them deliver it to you. My favorites at Lucky Dragon: Almond Gai Ding (Chicken with fresh vegetables in a clear sauce with a liberal sprinkling of almonds), Wonton soup, Chicken Fingers, Pork Lo Mein. Yum! read more

My go to Chinese food place was China Star, but that burned down. I started going here for my Chinese fix. It wasn't bad at first, but the last couple times I got Chicken fingers that tasted awful. They were rubbery, and inedible. I thought maybe I got a bad order. A month later tried again and the same thing. I will not be returning. read more

One star for the bathroom because there is one for the public. It is not clean. The food is mostly filler, pork fried rice is mostly brown rice- no veggies not even onion and not many pieces of pork. Lo mein is almost all noodles barely any veggies at all and scant amounts of chicken, there wasn't even sauce on the overlooked noodles. I used to go here religiously but things have gone south fast. Last nights Chinese takeout fail was thrown into the rubbish- I didn't even want to see it in the morning. Oh yeah- just remembered the chicken fingers had batter in the middle of some spots, gross. read more

This is Chinese food as only America can make it. Simple no fuss. Super silent gorging. Plastic chairs. Impatient clientele. Smoker spit oolong tea. Poorly expressed cashier. Like I said the pinnacle of American/Cantonese Chinese food. The food was simple and filling. But the food is not the reason you chose this location over Yang Ming next door. You came for the aesthetic. Pagoda style roof. Cheap Table and chairs with all the wobbles intact. Fading Sign and Oriental Trading closeout sale items. Though you can see samples of the food on Polaroids on the front of the counter top. This is Chinese food period. read more

Hands down, my favorite chinese food place, in a post-Bob Loo's world. Good food and good service, plus I give them credit for lasting almost 20 years in a spot that was vacated by Kentucky Fried Chicken when it moved north on 28. In a town like Salem, many other businesses can come and go, yet there's Lucky Dragon, still alive and well. I always get the same combo (Chicken wings, steak, pork lo mein and ribs) because this is the ONLY Chinese place with a combo. plate that doesn't come with that one thing you absolutely hate. (As my brother said, every other chinese place is like 'Pork fried rice, chicken wings, peking ravioli, and squirrel testicles', or something like that.) Having said that, its not often that I actually go IN the actual building, but I decided to cash-in a gift certificate here recently after a long miserable day with no lunch or dinner, working for a certain vacuum cleaner company in Salem. (I quit the next day.) The place was empty, (9:30 on a Wednesday evening), but you had the feeling a mob of people could show up at any moment. The place was clean and well kept, and I got the remainder of my gift certificate balance back as cash, which most places would not do. This food really hit the spot that night. I can't thank them enough. read more

I've ordered take out here several times. The portions are generous and taste good. Service is quick, and the location is convenient. Especially like their beef teriyaki appetizer. read more

Fast delivery! I ordered hot and sour soup and the Pad Thai dish L15. The hot and sour soup was good. The Thai dish had 2 shrimp and maybe 2 oz of chicken. The rest was 3-4 cups of noodles. It does say Chines Restaurant so maybe that is better. This tastes nothing like any Thailand dish I have eaten in country or out. But I was hungry so ate some of it. Maybe the Chinese is better. Lunch prices are better than evening. read more

The service is a bit slow, but the food is delicious and, for $12.99, the platters are pretty huge! The menu is pretty big, too. read more

Best food in Salem no cap, Teriyaki Beef skewers are a must. Everything is tasty, fresh and hot. I will definitely be coming back!

My boyfriend and I got food poisoning from this place last night. Sooo bad. Don't eat here, unless you like diarrhea and vomiting for more than 12 hours :( read more

Called for delivery and was told 45 minutes to 1 hour wait, ok no problem. That quickly turned into 1 hour & 30 minutes, after two phone calls back to Lucky, was told yes delivery man is coming. Food was mediocre at best, Really folks ? Delivery that long on a Sunday, no rain, no snow, no weather conditions and No apologies from restaurant or delivery driver? I could've made dinner myself in less that time. read more

I visit this place for take out only, I am NOT crazy for the rice but the apps are really good, great crab ragoon, boneless ribs are good too NOT a lot of fat it's more meat. The environment is not the best looking place it needs to be remodeled a bit it is outdated. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! I used to love this place around 2009, so I recommended my friend and I grab dinner here. I don't know what happened but it's a completely different place. Aside from the creepy, hard to understand service that made us extremely uncomfortable the food was absolute GARBAGE! The rice was mushy, the chicken wings had clumps of batter and feathers all over them! Everything was disgusting, nauseating, and instantly made my friend and I feel sick. I wish I could give this place -100 stars. Don't eat here. read more

There was a lot of food, the rice was salty and dry, the boneless ribs were very red and tasteless, the chicken chow mein was the best of them, even the crab rangoons were not too flavorful and cooked a little too long. I am new to the area and trying all the Chinese in the area, I will not go back to this one. read more

Nice people, easy parking, but one of many Chinese restaurants in the area with barely edible dishes. We ordered our usual test dishes and, as usual, this restaurant also failed us. The chicken was not fresh (rather dry) and the pieces were ridiculously large, almost like full filets. That is not what a real Chinese should serve, which is small pieces.. The pieces were soaked in soy sauce, so salty, although the dish should not have had any. The rolls were greasy. Portions were very large, but that was also necessary as they are expensive (we paid almost $30 for a portion of two small rolls and two chicken dishes. For that kind of money there are plenty of sit down restaurants around, with better quality. The packaging of the rice is plain wrong, so it falls out of the styrofoam box the moment you open it. read more

So I hope this helps someone but f you are planning on ordering Chinese for Xmas or New years , DO NOT order from lucky dragon well unless you want ice cold food that took literally took 1 hour and 32 minutes to get here to my home ,now kind you I would have about lucky dragon in the past but. Have noticed the last 4-5 times I had ordered it was not that great ,but because I am in the restraint business I tend to let alot go because I realize that things can happen but when it is now the new normal I feel. Must speak out since we are paying a pretty penny for the food and service so as I said ice cold food that took an hour and a half then wouldn't !mind never got my egg roll when I called to say how disappointed I was not a big deal apparently ,then I called right back to inform them I did not get my egg rolls I was put on hold for well not sure how long I have ng up after 8 minutes ,they must of seen the phone number and chose not to speak to me , again n this business for 23 years and ha is the first time I had ever complained but I feel I had no choice at this point ,so if anyone knows of a good Chinese food place pleas let me know as I order Chinese very Saturday also it wasn't like it was a holiday or even during busy hours it was at 2:30 in the after noon so unless you like cold food that takes Well over an hour to get to you I guess all. Can say is enjoy and Merry Xmas !!! Yes Merry Xmas not happy Holliday's read more

As a Chinese, my favorite Chinese Take out food is Beef Broccoli, because it healthy and pretty tasty. Also, trust me, it is not so hard to make. BUT, Lucky Dragon failed it!!! The beef was too hard to chew, I am pretty sure they use the wrong part of the beef to cook, that's why. The broccoli pieces were to large to bite, and they really need to make it smaller. Overall, the food was plain, I had to put some soy sauce on it. I was visiting this area, and I needed to find a place to eat at late night(11pm). Kinna disappointed. BTW, I saw the pictures of this place got into Top 100 restaurant in the IS.... HOW SO??? read more

The Lucky Dragon is one of few Chinese food restaurants local to my area. I enjoy the food in the sense that it is not the best I have ever had but it is good enough that I have become a repeat customer. They have a decent selection, reasonable prices and good portion sizes. The dining area leaves a lot to be desired which is why I always choose take out. When I order from takeout the food is prepared reasonably quickly and the customer service is friendly. read more
