Peking pork
Steven C.

This building was home to Chung King. Probably one of my favorite Chinese buffets growing up as a kid in the 90's and 2000's. Along with Luau Garden, Chung King served fresh Chinese food and endless amounts of it. So when I was in the area I decided to stop by and support a familiar place. Located right off Watt Avenue, Lucky Wok is a more than decent Chinese restaurant. My experience eating here was a good one thanks to the young man who waited on me. He was courteous and attentive. Food here was a solid 3.5/5 stars. Fried prawns stood out best. Big pieces of shrimp in a nice batter. The hot mustard sauce here is no joke. Go light unless you got a death wish! Peking pork here was cooked perfectly. I loved their sauce it was covered in. I'd return just for that dish. The Singapore noodles threw me off. They had a curry base despite not looking like they did in the picture. But I enjoyed all the veggies in it and I still ate it all. There was a female worker who talked on speaker phone the entire time lol. Her voiced echoed throughout the entire restaurant. I was the only customer and I wasn't going to say anything. Although Chung King is long gone it's nice to know a traditional Chinese eatery took over. Their food is worth a try as it's made fresh and the portions are huge, also it's pretty good!

(Not) Spicy Chicken and bland chow mein combo.
Lenny V.

Just kinda bland. Ordered the spicy chicken and chow mein combo and an order of potstickers. The chicken was ok, not spicy unless you got a slice of jalapeño. Chow mein was good a greasy, but not much in the way of ingredients as far as mushrooms, carrots, onion or carrots. Plenty of pork, though. The potstickers were weird. DEFINITELY OUT OF A BAG. The wrapper was flakey like pie crust, not like normal potstickers. The chicken inside was pretty flavorful. I won't go back. There are better places for less $$$.

Soup is a liquid dish typically prepared with water, broth (meat, fish, or vegetable), or milk. It contains various ingredients. In this case, a sea of ​​produce and vegetables. But here, it seemed to be a vegetable broth with a significant seafood content. Which, of course, greatly spoiled the soup's perception. We used to order soup at this place all the time, but today was apparently our last time. No one even wanted to finish it. A whole bunch of carrots and broccoli. Thanks, but let's change the soup's name to the real thing: carrot, broccoli, and seafood soup.

Sweet & Sour Pork with Chowmein Delicious.
Reza B.

Was passing through the neighborhood starving. This place came up with good ratings. I ordered to go an hour before closing. And was skeptical of how my food would be prepared... I took the chance anyway. I ordered the sweet & sour pork combo, salt & pepper pork & hot & sour soup. Let me tell you - no regrets! It's exactly the flavor that I've been craving a missing. With a few restaurants disappointing me not too long ago, this was such a great surprise. The food was prepared well. Chowmein not greasy. Cooked perfectly with a lot of flavor. The sweet & sour sauce was just saucy enough. A perfect merry of sweet & tinge of the sour tang. The hot & sour soup was perfection. Exactly what I needed in this 40 degree weather. They did NOT skimp on the soup fillings either. They definitely didn't rush to make or short my meal of any seasoning at all. Highly recommend!

Potstickers
Jorge E.

First time ever trying the food here at this Chinese spot. I did pick up and was greeted very quickly by a lovely man. The ambiance inside was observed to be clean but also empty. It was about 230pm on a Thursday so lunch special ends at 3pm everyday. I got my food and came back to work and the food was okay for the price. The General Chicken was soaked in the sauce as you can see in the pic, the Chow Mein was meh. The potstickers were really good though! I kinda felt like the general chicken and the chow mein was missing some flavors but I did love how my food was really hot when I picked it up and then driving back to my work. It's not a bad place to order it but for me I will try their dinner specials and see if I want to go back again.

I purchase some war wonton soup I wasn't feeling well. The soup I can't say much about it because when I got home I put some mama noodles in it with the season packet so it's good now but here's my complaint The pork that they put in the soup is old you can taste that flavor when pork is old how dare they everything should be fresh I'm going to put this picture of this piece of pork up I threw the rest of it away I kept this piece because they pretty much all look the same The service was great very nice people The ambience I only have one problem with that When you own a restaurant you need to keep everything clean including your inside doors they shouldn't be black I should have took a picture of that it was horrifying about his horrifying is this piece of shitty meat. Don't put day old three day old or whatever the case may be meat on a customer's plate in their soup or otherwise

General Chicken & Fried Rice
Sam S.

Dined in and had the General Chicken with Fried Rice combo for dinner tonight. The fried rice visually appeared ok, but was slimy upon taste. There were a few hard pieces of rice also. I concluded that the rice served to me was old and overdue. Nice people in the front but should not be serving old rice to customers. tsk tsk

Seafood Rice Noodle Soup, Chicken Chow Mein,Mongolian Beef,French fries.

I and my family first time this place. A menu with a wide variety of dishes. All so good and fresh!

Salt & pepper prawns combo
Alejandra G.

Food is really good I ordered the pawns combo. Comes with complimentary soup & a side of rice. The price is supper affordable for the large portions ! The servers was very attentive. Bright us some hot sauces and tea. Restaurant can get loud during busy times. But for lunch and after it's pretty quiet.

Looks good, unfortunately it doesn't taste good. No veggies in the chow mein and greasy fishy tasting food.

Unfortunately, our experience this time was quite disappointing, especially because I used to really enjoy this restaurant. The Peking duck was not at all like I remembered. Previously, the skin was separated from the meat and cooked to a wonderfully crispy texture. This time, however, it didn't resemble authentic Peking duck style, and the meat was extremely dry, almost as if it had been overcooked. I was really looking forward to this dish, so it was a huge letdown. The eggplant stir-fry was another disappointment. It had far too much vinegar, making it almost difficult to eat. The orange chicken tasted good, but there were so many bones in it that my husband, who has sensitive teeth, had to be extra careful while eating. On a positive note, the spicy beef chow fun was excellent and easily the best dish of the night. I do want to give credit to our server, who was wonderful and attentive throughout our meal. They consistently made sure my water glass was filled, and I truly appreciated the great service. Unfortunately, despite the excellent service and the one standout dish, the overall food quality left us disappointed. It's sad to say that this may be our last visit, especially since I genuinely used to love this restaurant. I was hoping to enjoy the same quality that made me want to come back, but sadly, this visit fell short of my expectations.

The people were very friendly and the place was very clean. They have a decent size menu.. I was here for the congee, but looking at the menu, I saw the rice paper rolls. They have gotten good reviews, so I decided to try the. Chinese donut rice paper rolls. I love the savory Chinese donuts. The donuts were wonderfully savory and crispy, and the silky rice paper played against the donuts, absolutely perfectly. I'm not sure what the sauce was that was on top of it, but I loved it. It was a perfect match to the rolls. I was only gonna have one and take one home, but they were so good, I ended up polishing off both of them. For my congee, I decided to try the grass carp congee. Carp are bottom feeders so they can definitely have a muddy flavor. However, grass carp, as their name implies, swim among the grasses. It is a firm, mild tasting fish. The congee was perfect, not too thick, not too thin, and I could definitely taste the ginger and the scallions. They played along perfectly with the mild flavor of the carp. Because I had polished off both of those rice paper rolls, I made it through about half of the congee, the rest coming home with me. For congee and other Chinese dishes, I now have another place that's in my rotation. I will be back. Thank you.

All the servers were very nice and our food came out shortly after we ordered. We ordered the shrimp and chive steamed rice noodle, Chinese donut steamed rice noodle, shrimp pumpkin and salted egg, half roasted duck, preserved eggs pork congee, and 2 cold lemon teas. My favorites were the shrimp and chive steamed rice noodle and the pumpkin dish. I always look for this dish and am so excited when I see it's on the menu! In particular I thought this one was perfectly fried. Both the shrimp and the pumpkin were crispy, golden, and not oily at all. I thought the congee could use more flavor for me personally but the texture was really nice. The duck was also great! Crispy skin but juicy meat and great flavor. I enjoyed the tea but thought it was a little too sweet for me. I thought it was fairly priced with good portions. We had plenty of leftovers that all warmed up really well once we got home. I would definitely go back again and have already recommended Taste of Original to so many people!

This restaurant is a to-go only restaurant, and gets plenty of traffic from the area. I went midday (3:00pm) and there were at least 4 customers in and out during the time I was there. While I was checking their menu, I decided to order, since I remember how good their chicken wings are. I ordered the chicken wings, and a lunch combo with chicken with black bean sauce. The combo comes with chow mein and fried rice and an egg roll for $13.99 but I asked for steam rice instead of fried rice. Unfortunately, I didn't check my plate before leaving the restaurant because they gave me all steam rice and no chow mein. Despite the error, their chicken wings are still the best, and the chicken with black bean sauce was very good. I would've like to have tried the chow mein. Also, I didn't notice that they charged $16.99 for the plate, which was a little steep considering I got no chow mein. Some of the condiments are extra, like the hot mustard, so ask for it before they ring up your bill. I'm sure I'll be going back for the chicken wings because it's made fresh and it's really good.
