Tasty Chinese food! I ordered delivery from Lucky's China Inn on a Sunday night, and the food took about 40 minutes to arrive. I ordered the orange sauce vegetarian entree with white rice and the crab rangoon. The food was still warm when it arrived which I always appreciate. The crab rangoon was pretty standard with maybe a little less filling than I would like. The orange sauce vegetarian entree had a tasty sauce, and the breading to tofu ratio was excellent. Overall, I had a good experience ordering from Lucky's China Inn, and I would recommend them for Chinese takeout in Columbia. read more

Great Chinese-American dishes, with some Asian fusion and Thai options like Pad Thai. I love their boba teas, fried rice, lobster, orange chicken, all noodles, steak and cheese rolls, pepper shrimp, drunken noodle, sticky rice and mango are all really good. Call ahead for carry out, they tend to have a 20 minute wait every weekend especially Sundays around dinner. read more

Good service, excellent food and rationale price. What more could you want from any restaurant?

the menu has a decent variety of chinese and thai options, but the food overall was pretty mediocre. the fried rice lacked flavor and the chicken dishes felt a bit heavy on the breading and sauce. service was okay, but for the price and quality, it's just a basic, run-of-the-mill spot read more

Call to inquire about the yak mein and the ensured that it was the regular recipe. Got it and it was very dry. No sauce at all. When I called I was told I needed to say extra sauce. I threw it away. A waste of money and time. read more

Lucky's China Inn - Disappointed is an understatement. - Chinese Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Terrible service I ordered at 4 PM. It is now 5;20 and I have yet to receive my food. I will never order from here again!

I ordered 2 times from this location and both times the food was several days old. The chicken was refried , The rice was very hard . Please be aware of this place and check your food before you leave. :( read more

It was really good just would have liked a little more sauce in my bag. the food was great. nice tate got it hot and really enjoyed it. read more

The food is delicious! The wait time isn't long and the prices are reasonable. My father drives all the way across Columbia to dine here.

Great food!! I've liked everything I've tried. Reasonably priced and tasty. Try the crispy beef.

Our last delivery order from Lucky's wasn't so good but we decided to dine in today because maybe it would be better? It wasn't. Both entrees were prepared incorrectly. Asked for shrimp and got chicken? Requested steamed rice and received fried rice? These issues were corrected but in the end, nothing tasted great. We love supporting local businesses but sadly, I think we are done with this one. read more

I order the Singapore noodles often and today was very disappointing. Did you change the chef? The dish is a completely different color, greasy and tasteless. They also forgot to make my dish extra spicy as requested. read more

Lucky's China Inn - Greasy Singapore Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Popped in for a quick dinner lo mein. I was not impressed. I don't know if it's the kind of noodles they're using or the preparation but they were real chewy and I did not like it. There wasn't much chicken and it either and overall didn't have much flavor. I don't know how you screw up lo mein, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it. I don't think I'll be going back because it seems that if you can't get this right, then everything else can't be much better... read more

I've ordered takeout from this place several times. Overall, I think it's a good place. We often get the General Tso's chicken, which is a good balance of chicken and breading and has a nice kick to it. One dinner portion is enough for 2 people to eat (and we are generous eaters!) so it's a good deal, too. We usually order the egg rolls, too, and they are tasty. Tonight I tried to go a little healthier and ordered the Szechuan chicken. I would NOT recommend that. It was not spicy at all - it really hardly had any flavor. The menu doesn't specify what veggies are included, and it was basically all matchstick carrots, onions, and some kind of cabbage, with a few green bell peppers mixed in. I would have loved to see more colors and flavors included. It was a huge disappointment. Still, I won't hold this one dish against the place since we've been happy otherwise! I just would highly suggestion you don't order that. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I've been coming to this restaurant for more than 10 years. Love the older gentleman that's usually at the register. Lately, I've noticed he's not there and Ive also noticed that the food and customers service had gone to the dogs. I just had an horrible exchange with the despicably rude young girl who always looks like she hates her job and the guy who took my order. I only ordered one item; pepper steak with white rice, always ask for more onions than peppers. On Saturday I was told that I would get an up charge for more onions, first time ever. No problem until I got my order, it should have called onions and green peppers with steak. So few pieces of meat and absolutely no sauce. I called and explain what happened and they told me to come back in to get sauce. I did not! Today I ordered again and they decide to up charge me and give me fried rice. Never in the 10 years that I have ordered this meal have I ever gotten fried rice. I don't eat fried rice and if I wanted it, I would've asked for it. I'm very clear why they gave me the fried rice because they want to up charge me. All meals come standard with white rice unless you ask for fried rice. The young girl gets on the phone is completely rude yelling, and then she just hands the phone off speaking in her native tongue. The guy gets then on the phone who placed the order and is equally rude. He tells me he could not read my mind. He didn't have to read my mind just comprehend simple English and place the order correctly. This really angered me because they took no accountability for anything. They've messed up my order two times in a row. He kept saying he couldn't offer me anything but a free egg roll which I do not eat. What would have been nice is to offer a solution and not think everyone wants something for free. This kind of deprived mindset sickens me. I strongly advise you not to go to this restaurant it seems to have been taking over now by the next generation and they are completely rude, disrespectful, and money hungry. Me and my family will NEVER set foot in this place again. So much for being a loyal customer for more than 10 years. I vote with my feet! read more

Really like the wings and Egg rolls! There Mambo sauce all over the wings and fries is another thing that's good, just the mambo sauce is a little too thin. read more

This restaurant changed the tip I provided. I called the restaurant and they did nothing. Stay away, they are not trustworthy. Additionally, the portions are small for the prices.​ read more

The food was absolutely terrible. It's like they cooked everything in really old oil. This is the second consecutive time this has happened. Never again. read more

Best Chinese food in Columbia. They are consistent and reasonably priced. Never had a bad meal here.

I love this place! As a Gluten Free Vegan, they have my back, and the food is delicious, bountiful and fast, and interesting! They have Thai as well, Gluten Free fake chicken, veggie dishes and every dish can be altered. I just had orange tofu from the lunch menu, they've substituted mushrooms for me too instead of meat, large hot and sour soup since I didn't want the eggroll. And they have dinner specials like lunch! They have brown rice for a dollar upcharge and that with their best ever hot and sour soup is a favorite meal of mine or leftover! Absolute best hot and sour bare none, spicy! Ive had moo Shu on rice or even rice noodles since the pancakes are gluten, no need for extra sauce, yum! As mainly a take out place, it is clean, quiet, lots of tables and parking: bring friends or take a project and sit long. I bring clients there, no need for them to order, but hard not to! Water in glass not plastc! Veggie soup for light and healthy, fantastic; Sichuan green beans fabulous, not GF, but amazing, yummy! They can alter spice, salt, sweet, vegetables. Safe, healthy, delicious. No I dont ask about fish sauce but they can tell you! read more

Always consistently good food. We enjoy the oriental shrimp and scallops and Chang's crispy shrimp. Also try the crispy beef, it is excellent. The staff is always friendly. They do a lot of carryout and delivery so the dining room is available without a wait. Not gourmet but entrees you can enjoy. read more

Lucky's China Inn - Nice place to dine - Chinese Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Best kept secret is Luckys ! Have been a regular here for 15 yrs. When you have to wait for an hour on Fri at other restaurants, you can walk right in at Luckys. Friendly family owned staff. Have tried most every entree they offer, consistently delicious. Have compared Luckys to many other Chinese restaurants referred to me in area ,by far, no comparison. I love the Fragrant pork, Triple Sweet n Sour (shrimp, pork, chicken), egg rolls, and any of the lo mein. Restaurant does a lot of carryout and delivery service. My favorite Chinese Restaurant (we found one as good, but it is in KY !!) read more

I am addicted to their egg rolls they're so good!!!! I also like their fried rice and wings. If you need to satisfy your Chinese food cravings go here. read more

Every item from the ribs, rice, chicken and broccoli and chicken wings and fries to shrimp rolls were delicious the best I've had so far I will definitely return for more and invite friends I really enjoyed them all read more

This experience with Luckys was underwhelming compared to my last. The ETA for delivery was 20 minutes late. But I'd overlook that if the food had great. First, the beef wontons seemed old. Overly crunchy and also chewy. Nothing seemed fresh about them. Next, the sweet and sour chicken was surprisingly light for a large order. I'm accustomed to the styrofoam tray packed to the gills with crunchy goodness. Instead some veggies where thrown in the middle of this serving which I think made the chicken slightly soggy. Lastly, I had high hopes for the extra spicy Thai red curry combination. The container was packed with so much extra filler in snap string peas, red & green bell peppers, and bean sprouts that I had to dig for the beef, chicken, and shrimp in the no where near extra spicy broth. Disappointing experience. read more

Visiting from out of town and tried restaurant. Nice family runner business with a steady stream of people coming to get take out. Food was decent and reasonably priced. Friendly service. read more

Lucky's China Inn - Shrimp chow mein, very fresh and yummy! - Chinese Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

See all

Delicious and cheap, not a combination you often get in the east coast. I've stopped ordering from my other usual restaurants because the value for flavor and filling just can't be beat. As a huge fan of Chinese and Thai food, I'm a little sad they don't have a larger Thai selection, but I can't blame them, seeing as how they're primarily a Chinese restaurant. I usually get the pad thai, chicken chow mein, beef fried rice, and some egg rolls. Bonuses: good coupons and they haven't messed up an order yet. read more

Tried this place bacause are usual Chinese restaurant was closed. This place did not disappoint. The food was hot and crispy. Delivery was quick and they got the order correct. The only thing I would complain about is the food containers were not filled up to the max. Still plenty of food with some leftover for lunch tomorrow! Yum! read more

Lucky's China had some of the best shrimp fried rice I've ever had! We also had two orders of crab Rangoon that were very delicious. Lucky's is our new favorite Chinese takeout in the Columbia area for sure. read more

I ordered delivery and the steamed veggie dumplings were cold. The egg roll had bits of meat in it and i ordered it with the vegetarian fried rice which was also luke warm. Once microwaved tasted good. I wouldnt be surprised if my vegetarian tofu fried rice had traces of meat in it though. read more

We ordered delivery from Lucky's for the first time. The delivery took forever. We ordered chicken and broccoli, kung pao, fried dumplings, wonton soup, and egg rolls. The broccoli chicken was inedible. Chicken was very over cooked and the flavor was poor. I would not recommend. The Kung pao was also bad. The egg rolls were good. The dumplings were not very good. read more

I've been eating Luckys food for a few years. It was always fabulous. The last two times I got it, the barbecue spareribs were terrible, the chow mein had absolutely no taste, and the chow mein noodles were limp from being in the humidity. I'm sad about this read more

Food was rather bland. Their egg foo young didn't taste anything like what I've had in the last. It may be a good option for someone who is on a low sodium diet. The salt and pepper pork chop was really gristly cuts of meat with lots of tiny bones. read more

This is an example of Yelp working (product managers and marketers, take note ;) About a month ago my little man (who is actually the size of a linebacker) and I were looking for a quick easy dinner and discovered this place on Yelp. Being Typical Columbians and this being in a Typical Columbia hidden village center we've lived here for 15 years and had never seen or heard of it ( I think I got lost once and discovered this village center ). And to boot, there was a coupon on yelp ! So we signed up for yelp, snagged the coupon and went in. Turns out the coupon expired or something like that, but that didn't bother us one bit - we had a GREAT time and have returned twice since, once taking more folks with us. Let me some up Lucky's in a nutshell, based very consistently across our 3 visits over 2 months. The visits were on different days of the week at different times, so I think this must be pretty representative of them: This is a great, zero pretense cheap eats Chinese restaurant that does the standard Chinese restaurant thing and does it really well, at a great price. Each time, there's a few folks eating in, a few waiting on a take-away order, and someone dialed in a new take-away. Each time, they seated us instantly, and took our orders instantly but without hovering. The food came out very quickly, was clearly freshly made for us (freshly made, I can't guarantee none of it started frozen ), and was just dead on Chinese food. There's probably some fancy dishes here, but I tend to stick to the basics like EggRoll,Wonton Soup, and Kung Pao chicken. The food is great - nothing particularly elaborate or fancy - just basic amercian version Chinese food executed well, and the service and prices are great. I do want to reinforce though that this is a plain-jane restaurant; solid food, solid service, solid prices; no more, no less. If you want ambience, high-end chinese, or particularly authentic Chinese this probably isn't for you. I wouldn't take a first date there. However, once you've been married for 20 years and just want an easy, solid meal for a family of four that doesn't break the bank, you have to try this place out. It's my go-to Chinese restaurant now. read more

I live by here and walked in expecting a normal chinese/american experience. I was pleasantly surprised. The server was like my asian grandmother and told me what to order (and that i was ordering too much). Started with the ribs for my son, i was expecting normal take-out spareribs but these were better. The sauce had something extra, my son devoured them. I did too. Then got an egg roll bc i saw everyone ordering these. Their egg rolls are shrimp/chicken combo. Disclaimer: i'm not a real egg roll fan. I thought it was so/so but i asked for hot mustard and it was not in a packet! They make it and it was hot enough that it made my eyes water like wasabi will. LOOOOVED THAT. Also got tofu/veggie soup in clear broth. Nothing exciting. Entrees were beef chow fun - this was good. A little sweeter than i was used to but my son loved it and the portion was huge. SALT AND PEPPER PORKCHOP: MY sister and I looove this dish and get in in China town in NY. I have never found a place that could duplicate the deliciousness we experience while in china town. This place BEAT it. I was amazed. Crispy, salty, spicy, with fried garlic chipped pieces, and sauted soft garlic. Wow, it was the best salt and pepper pork chop ever. The prices were normal and i will absolutely come back here....all the time. read more

Note to restaurant owner. When someone calls an hour later wondering where their food is, don't try to tell them that they only ordered 35 minutes ago. I will never order from you again. I have an Eat24 slip that tells me exactly when I ordered and how long it has been and my food is still not here. Thanks very much for your horrible service. 1 hour and 10 minutes later, the food came, even though we were quoted 45. The food was good enough for delivery, but too bad because service was horrible and when I asked if there was a receipt from the delivery guy, he was rude too. Never again. read more
