    Sushi made
    Lu L.

    We ordered 2 Chicken/rice dishes & they were both tasty. Especially liked the Kung Pao chicken. Large portions.Service was quick & the waiter was friendly. Seemed liked they do a large "to go"business. Extensive menu options here. A lot of sushi offerings. Would return

    After years, dine-in seating has re-opened!

    I was happy to see that they brought back their dine-in option recently! During my visit I ordered Crab Rangoon and Szechwan Chicken with saki (Tozai 'Snow Maiden' Negori). Crab Rangoon made for a good appetizer as I waited for the entree. As a fan of spicy food, I found the Szechwan Chicken to be a good balance of flavor and heat. Far from overwhelming, but enough to get a small reaction as I finished my plate.

    Menu as of 12/6/2021

    Before a 6:30pm movie at the nearby Oriental Theater, I wanted to get dinner from somewhere in the area. I had recently bookmarked Lucky Liu's, so I figured it was good timing and the right opportunity to try them. I ordered the orange chicken combo with fried rice and crab rangoon. I also ordered two shrimp egg rolls. The egg rolls were sizeable, but other than the two shrimp I found in each, they were loaded with cabbage as filler. I give them credit for the egg rolls being homemade and not store bought quality, but I've had better. The crab rangoon were very good. The filling burst out after I bit into both because they didn't skimp on the cream cheese mix. The fried rice was fine. You certainly get a lot, but all I could see and taste was rice and egg. It would have been nice to have another texture/flavor of some sort to mix it up a bit, like onion or bean sprouts. The orange chicken didn't lack in flavor with a generous amount of sauce in the container. I don't normally eat orange chicken (I prefer General Tso's), but I was in the mood for it that night and was left satisfied. As of 12/6/2021 their dining area is still closed due to COVID-19. I didn't know this before I stopped, so I had to make a split second decision to either go somewhere else or order takeout and eat in my car. Since I already had it in my mind that I wanted to try Lucky Liu's, I ordered takeout and froze eating it in my car. Yes, freezing was clearly a result of my decision and not something that Lucky Liu's forced on me, but it's kind of ridiculous that their already small dining area is still closed. Something to be aware of if you were hoping to dine in.

    Worst food I've ever had. Sorry!!!

    The order took like 10 minutes to make as we ordered from the restaurant window on a Friday night and the food smelled good but that's the only positive I can give to this place. The food was straight up bad. The drenched sauce on the stir fry was way too much and there was nothing good about the egg rolls. Midway thru my friends meal, he found an egg shell in his fried rice Mongolian beef meal and he just stopped eating after that. After the food, I could feel my stomach trying to digest the heavy food to no avail leaving me and my friend stuck in a food coma ruining the rest of the night for us.

    4. Six Pieces Crab Rangoon, 61. Sweet and Sour Chicken + sauce, 65. Kung Pao Chicken

    So crazy hot I could pull a McDonald's lawsuit. YUM! Fresh and delicious. I order kung pao chix w extra water chestnuts and extra spicy, perfect! Crab rangoons w sweet and garlicky flavor, sweet n sour chicken w juicy white meat and these are all missing a serving bc I forgot / no sleep til Brooklyn! Consistently tasty and very affordable.

    My first lunch choice was this new burger place but after driving around for 10 minutes and not finding any parking I moved on, I'm not paying $15 for a lot to have a $10 burger lunch. This place has plenty of street parking so stopped by for lunch and as usual I opted for a lunch special. The place it self was small with a sushi station and a few tables that looked clean but no one in it like most Asian places. The menu has all kinds of goodness including sushi but I would have the Mongolian Beef lunch special and one shrimp egg roll. The Mongolian Beef lunch special is a lot of food that came with egg fried rice and two crab Rangoon, I only order crab Rangoon when it's that or a spring roll because spring rolls do nothing for me. The crab Rangoon was crunchy with that sweet cream cheese filling and pretty good. The egg fried rice is simpl but tasty with perfect cooked rice and fluffy scrambled eggs. The Mongolian Beef was in a brown sauce that was not the sweet kind which I liked with big pieces beef and soft onions but on the mild side. The beef portions were perfect and they didn't try to overload it with the veggies and skimp on the meat like some places do on lunch specials. The egg roll was the better kind because it was not the micro one that a lot of places do today, fresh with chunks of shrimp and cabbage that had some crunch left in it while tasty in that crispy shell. Honestly this is one of the better Asian lunch specials that I have had in Milwaukee because it was generous food wise with fresh quality ingredients that was tasty and not just average like a lot of places. I would definitely try more of the menu with no problem.

    Do you have dine in?

    No, I heard they are closed right now due to Covid-19, but they have really good takeout. Definitely a place to check out! It's my favorite Chinese restaurant in Milwaukee.

We came after visiting one of the nearby breweries. We were seated right away at the bar. I had a glass of the Black River sake and my boyfriend tried the Blossom of Peace. His was much sweeter and I was very happy with mine. They weren't served in traditional sake cups, just in regular wine glasses but this was good with me as they were a normal sized wine pour. They had a special for Bluefin Tuna. We shared the Nigiri trio by cutting each piece in half. My favorites were the two fattier cuts ( otoro, and chutoro ) I remember at this point we wished we had ordered another appetizer since the restaurant was busy and our main sushi rolls took a bit of time to arrive. We decided next time we would at least get the edamame in between plates. The rolls we ordered were the Ponzu Jello and Riverwest. The Riverwest description listed a smoky miso mayo which I did not notice a different from regular flavored mayo on a roll. The Ponzu Jello was unique and worth trying! The rolls were fat and very filling so we did not need to order more than two! I think we both agreed that the Riverwest roll was our favorite of the two. After that we noticed there was a special for some premium sake, so we ordered the G Joy. Very delicious, easy to drink and a perfect size to share. I will add this restaurant to my places to visit again!

    On a recent visit to Milwaukee, my friend got us an early reservation here for the following day. I…read morethink we were lucky because others have said they've had trouble getting one. When we arrived for our 4:30p reservation, there was a line of half a dozen people hoping to get a seat at one of the bars first come, first serve. One is the alcohol bar and one is a sushi bar. Our server was amazing. She had great recommendations and made sure what we ordered was spaced out nicely as the tables are small and some of the dishes take up a good amount of space. We ordered bottles of mineral water. We don't really drink so this made the meal feel even more upscale and it went so well to cleanse the palate between courses. The food was phenomenal. There wasn't a dish we didn't love but extra about out for the hamachi kama yaki - grilled yellowtail collar. It was bigger and meatier than I expected. Delicious. The sushi here is amazing. I'm half Japanese. When I go to sushi places not near a coast, I usually don't get much raw aside from scallops and spicy tuna or salmon rolls. These hand rolls were absolutely fantastic. The seaweed wrappers had covers on them to slide off just before taking a bite so the wrappers stayed crispy. I would go back here just to order various hand rolls. The pad Thai was the best I've had. The noodles were perfectly cooked and smooth in my mouth with the light yet creamy sauce. I could only take a couple bites as we ordered more than we expected we could eat haha. I cannot wait to go back to Milwaukee to go back.

    I need to prep this review that I was with a group of 9 adults--the reservation was only for 8 and…read morethey allowed us to squeeze in another and it was so kind that they let us get away with that. The reason I speak to the number of adults is because they were a bit inappropriate: they were very loud and I felt so bad because I have no doubt the group I was with disrupted the experience of other diners. I'm not a prude but even I was slightly embarrassed at times (I didn't know the group well and didn't anticipate the noise/volume). ANYWAY, I bring all that up because our server tolerated us and I was very grateful for him. Aside from being kind, he was very knowledgeable about trying/pairing items and making suggestions for us. The drinks were beautiful and the food was bright--fresh and flavorful. Bathrooms were spotless. I am looking forward to coming back on my own ;)

The sauce to noodle ratio was spot on and the flavor was perfect with the right amount of spice. Portions were great as well. Overall, definitely make sure to stop by!
