I'm giving it 3 stars because of a concern I experienced at the hibachi station. The chef was using the same utensils to cook multiple orders, and when I mentioned that I'm allergic to shrimp and noticed shrimp being cooked right next to my food with the same utensils, he simply clapped the utensils together and continued cooking without cleaning them. Thankfully my allergy isn't extremely severe and I didn't consume any shrimp, but it was still concerning to see no effort made to prevent cross-contamination. Overall, it's a decent and straightforward buffet, but if you have food allergies, it may be something to be mindful of when ordering at the hibachi station. Also the place does look like a 3/5 aesthetically. It looks like it could use some shine and cleaning.

Probably the best Thai restaurant in St. Augustine. Not only was the food delicious -- seriously, everything we ordered was amazing -- the service was extraordinary. Jak, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure that we and our dogs were as comfortable as possible while eating outside in the Florida heat. He opened the big umbrella to provide us with shade, brought a bowl of water for our dogs as well as some treats, and even went as far as bringing out a fan to provide us with some breeze. My husband and I were blown away by this service; we've never been to a restaurant were the owner cares so much about the customers. As aforementioned, the food was also incredible. We started off with some curry fish cakes and curry puffs; both were very tasty and came with a sweet peanut sauce with vegetables. For our main dishes, we had the red curry chicken -- very flavorful and deliciously spicy, but not too spicy -- and the drunken duck noodles -- also very flavorful. To finish off our meal, we had the sticky rice mango, which was very yummy. Additionally, we had the mango boba and peach passion fruit boba teas, which were very refreshing in this summer weather. We'll definitely be back whenever we come back to St. Augustine and will recommend it to our friends and family when they visit.

My husband and I were in town to find a decent Chinese restaurant, we were glad that we found one! Lucky Garden has the authentic Chinese food if you know what to order. Hunan pork for one! They didn't do like most American-Chinese restaurants: deep fry all kinds of meat, then pour slightly different sauces over to make a ray of different dishes. Here they cut the fresh meat and really did stir fry with vegetables. The combined flavor of hot, sour, sweet, salty is just perfect! They are better than many American-Chinese restaurants in the Midwest. I was surprised to find such a decent Chinese restaurant here. They are a family business and very friendly. Their prices was low and the portion was large: one entry ($5) can make out two meals for me. I'll definitely come back! read more

I wish I could say I loved it, but the food was average at best. The wontons in the soup were good, but the broth tasted almost watered down. Not terrible, but not great. The Gen Tso's chicken was okay, but not outstanding, and not spicy at all. The Beef I requested extra spicy, but again it was kind of bland. The soda was not in the bag which is odd since I even put a comment in asking for Coke if they had it, but maybe they misunderstood what I meant, and I should have checked the bag before I left. The beef itself was excellent, though. Nice pieces of meat and tender. And they used real mushrooms-not canned-which is a huge peeve of mine. It just needed more overall flavor. Ordering online was super easy, another plus. And they also have Thai food, which I think I would try another time instead of Chinese to see if that tastes more robust. Not the greatest first impression but eventually I'll probably give them another try!
