I want to update my review on Lucky Star. I am amazed and so happy! I decided to give it another try and I am so glad I did. The Shrimp Edd Foo Young was fantastic and the gravy was dark brown gravy. I am so glad they corrected what went wrong. It's my favorite place again. read more

FINALLY! I found THE Chinese food place. I've been searching for years to find EXACTLY this type of food. It reminds me of college and my twenties when I'd eat this after a drunken night out or the next day hungover. The family meal for 2 (beef broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, shrimp fried rice) was LITERALLY PERFECT. Delicious, fresh, flavorful, great portions. I also ordered the tofu with mushroom, and it was so amazing. Great sauces for all the dishes! Chinese restaurant fried rice is a hit or miss a lot, but this was a HIT. My new go-to Chinese food spot!! I'm so happy I took a chance on Lucky Star! It's now in my favorite foods/restaurant rotation when picking dinner. read more

It's hard to find a Chinese place with decent reviews, so I wanted to help uptick this spot. It's pretty inexpensive for the large portion sizes (we ordered smalls and we have two meals of leftovers meals between 3 people). Before, I've had the orange chicken-- it was good, but ORDER CRISPY and NOTE it has. the orange peel bits. Last night, we got bbq pork fried rice, which was massive, delicious portion.. BEEF CHOW MEIN which was our FAVORITE of the dishes. Deep brown in color with mushrooms and tender beef. Then we not recommend the chicken and cashew chicken.. it looked like gelatin and has translucent onions too... once we got over that, the chicken was lean and tasted good mixed in with other items. They give generous amount of sauces, fortune cookie and chow mein noodles. QUICK too! read more

Our new go-to place for Cantonese staples. Food is quality ingredients, tasty, and you get ample portions for the price. (Which is reasonable). Dishes that are reorders: Chicken with Broccoli, Mongolian Beef, Egg Rolls, Pad See Ew. Yes, don't sleep on the Thai dishes on their menu. They are executed as good as or better than the Thai place by our house! read more

Best Chinese food around this area. Orders are always what I asked for and the employees are very kind. Highly recommend the Kong Pow Chicken and the Chicken Fried Rice!! read more

Great quality orange chicken. Great quality sweet and sour chicken. Great quality chicken fried rice. I love chicken! Yum yum yum!

I will never ever order from here again. I literally threw everything away. The potstickers were very heavy dough. They each weighed about 1/2 lb. Disgusting. The fried shrimp were all burnt. Food was the nastiest Chinese food I have ever experienced! Stay away! read more

Awesome restaurant! Amazing employees! The food is delicious! You get great portions, great taste, and great service all in one place! Keep up the good work Lucky Star! #customersforlife!! read more

This place used to be my main Chinese spot. Been coming here since I was a kid. I went and got my regular order today and the fried rice was filled halfway but the prices have gone up. I know it's not their fault purely because of economic factors but they cannot scale back quantity on their old customers this heavily. read more

Food was delivered in a Styrofoam container in which the contents leaked out all over the bag. First time that I ordered from them and will not be ordering again. Egg Foo Young was just meh. read more

Got take out on a Friday night. Quick turn around and great food! Loved all the tofu/vegetarian options. Got the General Tso tofu and it was delicious. Very spicy which we liked. The tofu was a great firmness. Would have loved a little more brocolli or even the option of adding more but it was great and fresh. Also had the vegetable fried rice. Very good. The vegetable egg rolls were probably the best we've ever had. Crunchy and not overly oily. The wontons were okay but there was no filling like we thought they would have. Husband liked them so we'd order them again. They gave a good amount of complimentary sauces and fortune cookies which I appreciate. The order was ready when they said it would be (which again on a Friday night to have a minimal wait was great). Clean restaurant and efficient pick up. This may be our new go to take out Chinese in the area! read more

They changed the egg drop soup recipe. It isn't as yellow and is lacking some flavor that the previous recipe had.

I am very impressed with the food quality. I have ordered several times now and it's always been very good.

They have obviously changed ownership. The people were nice enough but I had ordered here many times and not been disappointed. This time, the egg roll was overdone, the General's Gao's chicken was not spicy and so overdone it was tough and leathery. The crab rangoon was soggy because they put it on top of the chicken and rice. There was no hoisin sauce with the moo shi veggies and the pancakes were stuffed in a box and dried out rather than put in an insulated bag as I have had them before. Quantity does not make up for quality. I won't be going back. read more

Ordered the same items as usual. Found out new owners as front counter person was new. Egg rolls were different and flat Beef Egg foo young was decent but couldn't find any beef (maybe the wrong order)? BBQ Pork Lo Mein was average and although the pork pieces were larger than before the noodles lacked flavor! Unfortunately not much change from prior owners. read more

This is our go to Chinese food restaurant. The food has consistently been awesome throughout the years...even after a change in ownership. I love their vegetable delight and their lo mein dishes. We tend to get sesame chicken and beef with peapods regularly. Always fast, hot and delicious. read more

This used to be our favorite Chinese place in the area. New owners and we will never order from there again. They were smoking inside and the food tasted terrible. If you remember having delicious food or hearing good things, save yourself the disappointment as they have new recipes and the quality and taste is terrible. read more

The food is not good anymore. Very disappointed in the dishes we ordered. Dry overcooked chicken and small tiny shrimp very bland. Very very disappointed. Will have to find another place. We use to love this place until this past weekend. read more

This used to be our regular place for Chinese. I think they must have changed ownership sometime during the pandemic. It doesn't even distantly resemble its old self. Generally, the food quality has plummeted. Egg rolls are as narrow as pencils and hard as a rock. Pan fried noodles were stale, hard and ice cold. Beef Kung Pao was packed with green peppers and other fillers, but light on the actual beef. Nothing tastes fresh. They're just going through the motions here. They clearly stopped caring about quality or retaining customers. read more

Food has usually been pretty good. Service has been poor. Was a huge disappointment going into the restaurant and them hardly make eye contact with me or talk much just said can i help you as soon as I entered definitely not a positive experience. Ambiance has been the same for years. read more

Great food, ordered a lunch special and the picture is what was left after I finished eating! Large portions came out hot and ready in 10 minutes! Also included with lunch was an egg roll and soup which I'll have for dinner. I think I just found our new go to!! Thanks Lucky Star, now I'm the lucky one!! read more

Food has been average and prices continue to rise. Fried rice is decent but sesame chicken meat was Dry. Low-mien bbq was fair but limited meat. Really looking for a better meal. Mice counter man but food continues to lack Something. read more

I wanted to like the food from here, I really did..... It was hot and seemed fresh, but the seasoning. We got two very different chicken dishes in brown sauces and the were both full of either clove or star anise. Either way, it was utterly disgusting. $90 down the drain (it was a big order). As others have noted, the "egg rolls" are more like spring rolls and were not good. Best thing I can say is that the fried rice was ok after I added some soy sauce. Gong Ho in Downers is our usual go-to and I will be sticking with them in the future. Also, side note, when I went in to pick up, the place smelled horrible. Like stale grease and horses. Just don't. Save your money. read more

I placed a to go order for some Tom Kha soup and basil chicken; food was packed and ready when I arrived and the woman at the counter was friendly enough and double checked my order with me. The place looks like a great eat in, cozy spot and I'll have to come back for the dine-in experience. The food was A++! Tom Kha soup was delicious, perfect amount of lemongrass and great combination of chicken and veggies. The basil chicken was pretty good too, I prefer my basil chicken with a bit more heat, I'll remember to ask for extra spice but the flavor was great, everything was hot and fresh. read more

Very good crab ragoons! Very tasty fried rice and pepper steak!! Absolutely loved how everything was made fresh, piping HOT! Great lunch specials. Will order again when in the area! read more

Service was good very friendly. Food was not very good. My mom got beef chop Suey and I got sweet-and-sour chicken and we did not like it. The breading was undercooked and this sweet-and-sour chicken. Nothing special about the sauce or taste of the breading and chicken and the beef chop Suey had his very weird taste wasn't very hot and it was for a pick up, this was recommended, but I would not recommend it. They are very small and overcooked. It's just a place in a strip mall couple doors down from a Rosati's Pizza and next to a liquor store playing pictures on the wall. Nothing special thought it would be better was very disappointed. read more

These egg rolls are so small, I know cigars bigger than them. Pitiful!!! read more

Skip the egg rolls, they usd to be good but they are now so thin, the thickness of your thumb. It's a shame the flavor used to be great. The other dishes are very good there, just sadly skip the egg rolls We like the king poa, Mongolian Beef, orange chicken, soups, Bbq pork appetizer is great read more

Subpar. Greasy food that gives you a headache after. We have been a few times and not worth it. The inside is not appealing. No not recommend. read more

General Tso chicken oh how your food portions are so generous! Seriously had left overs for lunch then next day. What I love about Lucky Star is the fact they are super fast. I usually order a side of chicken fried rice with my rosati's pizza order too. Call it strange but in my house its tradition. Since they are next door to one another who can resist? May I also add how I love them fact the food stays hot no matter what. You can pickup your order and run an errand afterwards. Then when you get home and open the carryout container...tada! You can still see the steam rise from your flavorful chicken at first bite. read more

While I try to be objective about my reviews, it often proves difficult. While I'm all for creative license for a chef, I feel that when it comes to Chinese food, people come to expect a certain familiarity. We were very displeased with how our "regular" take out order was received. We order chicken fried rice. Sweet n sour chicken and crab rangoons. The only thing that was remotely recognizable was the chicken fried rice, well because, it was rice! In addition to us not being pleased with our food; they charged us $6 for delivery without telling us! We will never order from here again. read more

Always very good and plenty of food .ordered on line, easy peasy fast service. Love the egg drop soup

Hi, guys, this restaurant is still open. You may heard people said they closed, but actually, just the old owner is retired. They changed owner, and everything is the same. read more

Have not been here in quite a few years. I thought the prices were a little high( probably due to covid) but the food was very good! I would come back again for take out! read more

Really enjoyed the food. Large portions. Meat was cooked perfectly. I will order takeout from here again!

New to the area so have had take out here several times in last 2 months. Overall the food is ok to good. Always hot and packaged well. We have found egg shells and chicken grizzle often in the various meals. We get a variety as we have left overs each time. Extremely salty...to the point that one has to consume a lot of water during the meal. Now I do like a bit salty but this is over done. Food is otherwise tasty and most ingredients are good. Just tune down the salt...let soy sauce do the trick individually! read more

Arrived prior to the projected time, food was hot and delicious! Plus they had a great dinner combo for $8.95 which includes an egg roll, entree, side of rice, fortune cookies and a drink or soup. Great value, totally worth it! read more

Big portions of food. The chicken could have been cooked more. Also most of the chicken was breading!! Love the chicken fried rice cant go wrong there. Also the lo-mein was good as well. read more

Lucky Star - three take out containers of food on a table - Chinese Near Me - Woodridge, Illinois

We have ordered take out from here often. The food is above average... But the customer service is awful! There seems to be a pattern in the reviews. The main lady who takes the orders needs to take a class in customer service. She is not very friendly... Gets orders wrong often... And is not very apologetic or willing to rectify situations. Last time we ordered... I ordered pan fried noodles with shrimp... She charged me for the shrimp dish but gave me beef! Getting her to give me the correct order was like pulling teeth. And they would not deliver the right dish so we had to go pick it up! 4 stars on the food. 1 star on the customer service. I wanted to rate then 2.5 stars... But no half stars. :( Rounded down coz I am just now remembering how much I had to argue with her. Just awful. The "customer is always right" lady!!! read more

It's been awhile since I ordered food from here, but happy I did. It was very good. Definitely will order again.
