Despite the reviews I gave this place a shot- in dire need of a vegetarian protein source in this food desert! I ordered the general tso's tofu with white rice and the plain lo mein online and picked up to go. The lo mein looked like it would be flavorful but unfortunately it really lacked everything, including even soy sauce. It had burnt minced garlic but that was about it! 0/10 on this dish and unfortunately I had to toss it. The tofu texture was alright/ leaning a little cheesy and stale.. But the sauce was also flavorless and generally not very appealing. The rice was also cheap minute rice and didn't go very well with the dish or soak up any sauce. I ended up trying to drown the dish with their cheap soy packets- which did not do much to help. 3/10 here I hate to leave reviews like this but honestly lucky house needs to work on sourcing better ingredients and reformulating some recipes- even if it requires raising prices I promise people who notice the difference! read more

Lucky House Restaurant - Lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

Lucky house is a good place to eat at an affordable price especially for families. The Singaporean noodles are my personal go too, but beware they are spicy. read more

If your riding through Rolla MO and you have to stay the evening, definitely order from Lucky House! Food was promptly delivered and it was delicious. All good was fresh and the flavors are outstanding! They also offered general TAo's tofu for the vegan crowd!! Great small place in a small town read more

Lucky House Restaurant - Sesame chicken and a fried chicken wing with white rice - Chinese Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

We had a great takeout experience with Lucky House last week after searching for a Chinese restaurant from Rolla to Saint Robert. Our food was hot, delicious, and flavorful. We'll be back! read more

First and last visit tonight. Where to start! I used the drive-thru to order. There is no visible sign telling you to order at the window, not at the sign. I ordered a large orange chicken and steamed rice. I believe I was up sold white chicken meat. I've never been asked what cut of chicken I wanted. I think it cost me $2 extra. The order was handed to me in a paper bag. Got home-the portion was generous but the food is flavorless. The rice tasted like Uncle Ben's. The orange chicken was smothered in goop. I was glad for the rice because my dog was sick today and used a portion of it for his dinner. All that goop leaked out of the container and all over the paper bag. Thanks for the mess to clean up! Do yourself a favor and go to Saint James for decent Chinese take out!!! read more

Lucky House Restaurant - Orange chicken and steamed rice - Chinese Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

Best value for the money. Ever since I've left Rolla I make sure to eat at lucky house when I come back. The food is good and plentiful. If you're looking for a 5 star bougie meal you're out of luck. If you're looking to satisfy a category 5 hungercaine, pick from anything on the menu and say the word "large". read more

I have lived in Rolla for 6 years now and this has got to be my favorite Chinese restaurant in all of Missouri. The staff are awesome. The food is great. You can get more authentic Chinese dishes also if you are missing the authentic stuff or wanting to explore. read more

Most terrible Chinese place first of all they put no sauce on my sesame chicken and the staff have bad attitudes not to mention me and my boyfriend got sick off there food definitely wouldn't recommend this place never going here again read more

DISGUSTING! Ramshackle dark place, hard to tell if it was open or closed. No sign on order menu that you have to pull to window to order. I was wary, so I tried 4 Pork Egg Rolls. Slightly lukewarm, tough, dry, not much flavor, hardly seemed edible. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Well after reading other reviews I was a bit hesitant to order. However it was close to my hotel so I gave it a shot. I ordered combination lo mien and combination fried rice. Both were pretty dang good. No complaints. I ordered and in about 8 minutes they were already there and food was hot hot hot! Good portions and very tasty. Not sure what the others had but my food was delicious! read more

Top tier exquisite cuisine with a phenomenally placed meal. I truly felt like I was in china and extremely lucky!

Today the food was extra awesome. Cashew chicken was spot on. Egg Rolls and Crab Rangoon tasted amazing.

stopped here on a road trip. we made a pit stop on kingshighway to get some gas and stretch. we were also looking for something to eat, and yelp pointed us to lucky house restaurant. which worked out perfectly, since i was craving some rice. it's been 4 days since i last had it. lol! anyways, this place is more like 2.5/5 stars. the only saving grace is the crab rangoons... and that barely saved this place. if you pull out the dictionary and looked up hole in the wall, this place would best describe it. lol. the interior decor isn't too bad, but from the outside, it looks ghetto. they had a lot of different entrees to choose from. however i ended up with the fried rice mushroom combo. first of all. NO NO NO NO NO. wtf. you call that fried rice?!? look at my pictures for evidence. i cook better fried rice at 3am plastered. but honestly... beggars can't be choosers. and what was i expecting for an asian place in rolla, MO?!?! i bet this city only has like 4 asians living in it... and there were all working at this place. i did not get lucky at lucky house restaurant, the hot and sour soup was wack, my entree was just meh. and they didn't have hotsauce on the table.. only asian mustard and duck sauce?!?! if they had sriracha, i'd bump up this place another star. also the wonton soup was mediocre at best.... the wonton was kinda hard inside... but the soup was decent. next time if i come back here... which will be never since i'll probably never visit rolla again... i'd get 10 rangoons instead. PS: this review may be biased... since california has the best asian food in the country. yeah, california is better than all other states. hands down. PSS: they do delivery too. read more

Not great. Food is glopped in sauce and seems to taste the same. Little run down and dirty. No

I've been ordering from this place for years, and not once has my order ever been wrong or anything short of delicious. I've ordered delivery, from the drive-thru, and sat for a dine-in experience. Each time the staff has been polite and fast, and if I went to eat dine-in more often I'm sure they'd recognize me and strike up conversation as a regular as I've seen them do with others (but I just don't like to leave my house that much). I recommend their cashew chicken and their sweet and sour chicken, though I usually order my sauce on the side. Lovely people, delicious food. read more

Probably the worst Chinese food I've had from anywhere. Ordered the Beef w/ Mushrooms add Onions-medium spicy w/ steamed rice and a large hot n sour soup. The entree was extremely bland as in flavorless and had canned mushrooms. The soup tasted like water. Very disappointed. read more

Lucky House Restaurant - Beef w/ Mushrooms - Chinese Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

This was the worst example of customer experience I have had in quite some time! Was running short on time. The lady working the window did not say hello or greet me. She asked what do you want...... I ordered and she said $7. She at no time said thank you at anything else. She handed me my food and I said "thank you"..... no reply. Maybe the owners might consider changing their name. Grumpy House..... won't return. They must not need my money. read more

Worst Chinese restaurant I've ever been to! Let me start off how they answer the phone. "Lucky House what you want?" That's plan rude! You better be ready to tell them what you want because the lady who takes the order will hang up on you! After you give the order she will give a total and than hangs up. They wont tell you how long it will be! You better have exact change because the delivery person doesn't carry any change! The last time I ordered from here was the last time! The food was over an hour late and it was cold. I called them back and they said "Not their problem!" Then hung up on me! Want my advice go to Oceans Buffet in St. Robert read more

If you're looking for 5 star Chinese cuisine in a modern inviting environment, this place isn't for you. If you want a human cash register to read your mind and yell a total at you before you even know what you want to order, then take the leap. This is more than a restaurant, it's an experience. Don't look at the building, look at your plate. Don't take a first date here, take your hangover here. Don't open your wallet, open your mind. read more

For a small-town restaurant with a pretty robust social media presence, Lucky House's food is unfortunately only average at best. Food arrives fast at Lucky House - almost disturbingly so; I would guess that no more than five minutes passed from when my order was placed to when my food was in front of me. I had General Tso's chicken with all white meat ($1 extra), fried rice, a crab rangoon, and a pork egg roll. The General's chicken was odd. It was obvious that the chicken had been fried beforehand and then had the sauce dumped over it, like a chicken nugget would be with sauce. Or, the chicken essentially was the ice in a General Tso's snocone. It is not something I really want to go out of my way to eat again. The highlight of my meal at Lucky House was the crab rangoon. It was different than any I have had before, was delightfully crunchy and peppery (black pepper), and is something I would enjoy eating again. The egg roll was reminiscent of something you'd find in your local grocer's frozen section. I don't doubt that many people in Rolla have great memories of Lucky House, and I certainly don't doubt that Lucky House's Facebook page is funny. If these two things are important to you, then by all means go. But if you're looking for great Chinese food you won't get lucky here. read more

Ok, we have been back to Lucky House a couple of times since my last review. We keep going back there rather than trying one of the other Chinese places in town, so they're doing something right!!! I still don't understand how they make everything so dang fast, but it is GOOD so let's not worry ourselves about that. My favorite is the sweet & sour chicken with white meat only (worth the extra $1). The chicken is tender and the sauce is tasty. We tried the mu shu again - this time it wasn't weird or soggy, just a fiesta of tasty vegetables. Apparently the pancakes that come with it at other restaurants aren't necessarily "authentic," they are missed (at least by me) here. The fried rice is also very tasty - although you do get a generous helping of rice (and a crab rangoon) with each order. We order two dishes - SMALL size - for dinner for the two of us, and we always have leftovers for at least one lunch the next day. read more

Previously I worked close to this restaurant and it was my favorite place to eat. We were in the area and excited to have lunch there; however the food was awful. Absolutely the worst Coconut shrimp ever, no sure what the thick goopy white sauce is that they pour on the fried shrimp but there was zero coconut on the shrimp. The General chicken had a thin syrup like consistency all over the chicken with very little spice to it. Definitely not the same as it was. Will not be back. I'm very sad as we got our orders to go due to time constraints otherwise we would have asked for a full refund!! Save your money and definitely find a better place to eat. read more

The food here is terrible. I ordered orange chicken and sesame chicken and they are literally the same taste, they are all just frozen fried chicken nuggets in duck sauce, only a small difference where sesame chicken has a few sesame seeds on it. And the service is horrible, food tastes bad and I am not hesitate to say..this is the worst American style Chinese food restaurant I've ever eaten. read more

Thank you, fellow Yelpers, for leading us here! New customers: Do no be confused by the outside. It looks like it's closed, it's not. It looks like a dump, it's not. We split the large sesame chicken with an extra side of crab rangoons. BEST crab rangoons I've had in a while. My husband enjoyed the pork spring roll. We did not like the iced tea. Tip: Find them on facebook. We got an extra free rangoon because we knew about the special on their page. Enjoy! Also, they have a drive thru, they deliver, they have highchairs and booster seats. read more

Hit or miss....sometimes you don't get so lucky....and who puts that much potato in chicken curry? Actually who puts any potato in their curry? But the rangoon was good (one star) and the employees were really nice (another star). And the food over all is decent....even the curry...without the taters that is (third star). read more

Lucky House Restaurant - Potato on the left, curry on the right....here I am...stuck in the middle....haha - Chinese Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

Honestly, we eat here all the time, because it's so close to our house. The General Tso's chicken is good, but I've had better. The Sesame chicken is pretty good as well. Their chow mein is a joke. It's just veggies and meat. Their Lo mein is also very sad. It tasted just like chicken noodle soup. It was definitely not what I wanted. They have a pretty good Kung Pow chicken, but be prepared for the heat! The Coconut chicken is a recent find. It's so yummy, but really sweet. They have pretty decent egg rolls and crab Rangoon's. Their dumplings are questionable. I am also a fan of their chicken fried rice! I always order my Chicken as all white meat! Trust me, you will want to pay the extra! read more

I go through the drive through when traveling. We love the egg drop soup. My husband loves the orange and cashew chicken. Good prices. Very fast. :) read more

Well the food was served in a styrofoam container- the food tasted like it was from a buffet only it wasn't. I also didn't get ANY fortune cookies and if I'm being honest with myself that is why I'm so upset and is the main reason for this review. It's just not acceptable. After mediocre Chinese food a fortune cookie really hits the spot. read more

Español: Como dicen los demás comentarios, el restaurante no es el más bonito ni más acogedor, pero la comida es buena, las porciones generosas y los precios bajos ($5 a 6 por persona). Se puede ir y probar el Coconut Chicken.

1st time and last time here as the food was bland . Sad that you have to come home and doctor it up just to be able to eat it . The hunt continues to find a good Chinese place to eat..... read more

Lucky House always delivers high quality food at great prices and they are fast as hell~! I used to have them deliver to me when I lived right by there. Now that I live a little farther away they still treat me exactly the same. I always tip them like $10. Even if I get like $5 worth of stuff~ THATS his awesome they are~ *** You have to ask for chopsticks. But you should have to you lazy bastard... read more

I've been going to Lucky House for over six years, but less so as they continued to raise their prices. I decided to try them again this month July '21. The service was fine and the food Ok (except for a cold, dried up egg roll), but I noticed the bill wasn't correct so I questioned them on it. They pointed to a sign on the counter that said $1.10 will be added to your meat dishes due to the rising cost of meat. I told them I had vegetable lo mein and they didn't care. "You had lo mein, you get charged the $1.10." So, not only do they not tell you about this charge, but too bad if your meal didn't even have meat! I'm done with Lucky House. read more

The orange chicken was outstanding. The service was very quick (they have a drive-thru window also) and the "small" portion was plenty enough for large appetites. I see myself eating here a lot. Note: If you're used to ordering chow mein, you're SOL. They only have lo mein in Missouri, AFAIK. If you try to order chow mein you'll probably get some crispy noodles akin to bird's nest. read more

We followed a previous reviewers suggestion and got the General chicken. It was DELICIOUS! We were just driving through town on a road trip and this was definitely the most satisfying and memorable meal we had. The restaurant looks a little sketchy but the people inside were efficient and, though not the friendliest, accurate with our order. The drive-thru took just a few minutes and everything was hot and fresh. DEFINITELY worth it. read more

I would absolutely avoid this place. They have been charging $1.10 extra for meat dishes. When a vegetable dish was ordered they charged it and when confronted about it, they refused to fix it. Which is theft. This place is trashy as is already. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Nice place to have Chinese food in Rolla. The beef is awesome. I like it very much. It is a cozy place to have a fast meal. Not a romantic place to have a date meal. Good for me. Price is okay read more

There should be a no star choice. This is the nastiest chinese food I have ever bought. Cannot say "eaten", because just a taste for both me and my husband and we threw it away. Dried up very salty chicken curry with very little, if any as I could not find any, chicken in it. And the orange chicken had tiny bits of chicken covered in large amount of breading. Covered up with the rice made it sop up all the sauce. Never again!!!!!!!I'll go back to Mandarin Garden". read more

I am staying at a local hotel and the front desk suggested this place. I ordered the coconut chicken. It arrived to my room in less than 20 minutes and it was delicious. read more

The staff and food here are both amazing!!! They have some of the best chow mein and egg drop soup!

they cannot take orders, they called to ask if i called, they do not understand anything you say. try harder and adapt people.
