This isn't the best Chinese restaurant in the world but it's not the worse either. The portion sizes aren't the greatest but the prices are reasonable. We got the pupu platter for two and it was smaller than other restaurants but the quality of food was really good. The chicken fingers are huge and plump, very filling. The chicken wings are amazing. You don't get real egg rolls, you get spring rolls. What I found odd is most chinese restaurants have rice come with your pupu platter, this one didnt. Very strange. I have no real complaints about the food other than portion size, they also have bubble tea which is awesome. All kinds of flavors. It's a very small place but there's plenty of seating, tons of booths and tables, very wheelchair friendly. Lighting is dim but I think that's on purpose. They have christmas lights all over the building and walkway year round which gives it a nice atmosphere setting. The walkway is long, feels like it takes forever to get to from the car but the walkway is safe and no trip hazards. The prices are reasonable, they accept debit/credit and cash. They accept doordash, they are always busy with doordash. The menu is diverse, you can find vegetables on the menu that's healthy. Sadly they do not offer unlimited soda refills, you pay for each one and it's tiny soda cups, they offer free water though. Parking is okay, there's enough room, free parking lot but like I said long way to the door. It's a hit or a miss with kids, really just depends if they like chinese food. The waitress on staff wasn't the most attentive but she tried. I'm unsure on the days but they do have an all you can eat lunch buffet which is really good, not a lot of selection but still very good. I would call and ask what days and times they offer it.
My ratings I'm giving does not mean I didn't enjoy my time there. I encourage everyone to try them out because the food is really good, if your a hungry person the portion sizes may not meet your expectations but the prices are fair. Try the chicken fingers, you won't be disappointed. You have a view of the kennebec river. I know, not super exciting but it's still a nice view of the water. It's a quiet, cozy little place but good for a quiet night out with family or spouse. Wasn't the best place but wasn't the worst. Give them a try!
Overall, 3 stars! <3

Come here annually for a family birthday celebration. The buffet never fails!

Food was very good overall. The main draw was that they serve Peking duck, which was delicious and very hard to find anywhere. The other items ordered were good but unremarkable. Atmosphere was very nice, quite with a good view of the river.

I was shocked! Finally found some decent Chinese food in Maine! Okay, they still don't know how to do Sweet and Sour Chicken in small chunks. They give you these huge pieces of chicken that are as big as a burrito! Yikes!!! But, their Lemon Chicken is AWESOME!!! Everything is tried off their buffet was good!❤️❤️❤️
Ate there agin tonight, 10/02/2025 and the food was great!!!

I cannot say enough good about Lucky Garden. I have been going for years and have never had a meal that wasn't outstanding. Menu selections are freshly made and have great texture, color, and flavor. Weekend buffet is hands down the best in the area.

I ate here with husband and sister in law. They took forever to take our order. The buffet was dry, reheated, hard, mushie. We did even eat a quarter of one PLATE between all of us. Never went up for seconds. Then they had nerve to slip us our check before we we done. Never came back to ask how it was. The check was $68 and some change. It was the biggest waste of money I would never eat there again. I never had an experience like this and I've never have complained before. I would give it 0 stars if could. I would give it a star for the place looks nice.
