Respectfully, WAY past their heyday. Ala carte everything. I had to buy my own water across the street. Their tap water was not still and I had to pay extra for to-go containers for our leftovers.

The WORST food I’ve had in a LOOOOONGGGG time!
The noodles are thick and doughy! Our dishes had NO flavor, even the salt needed salt!
The place is dingy and they serve tap water out of decorative bottles.?
We took it home to try to fix it but threw it out instead! It was NOT salvageable!
Then I made dinner!

I had a pork rice noodle soup here with soda and it was delicious! I put the spicy sauce that they gave and it was more savory and tasty! The lady at the counter was so sweet and nice too. I enjoyed the noodle! I recommend ?

The BEST noodle I’ve ever had in the US. Brought me right back to my childhood when my grandma made me handmade noodles. Makes me home sick and I’m sad that the owners are retiring ;( Come when they are still open!!

Lucky Foo in Kearny, NJ: The Real Deal Chinese Experience
If you're looking for that authentic, no-frills Chinese spot, Lucky Foo is for you.
If you're expecting some fancy American-style service, you might be in for a shock. But trust me, that's part of the charm. It's just one person cooking and one serving, and their mission? Get that homemade food to you, no matter how long it takes. Don't come here if you're in a rush - this is slow food at its finest. I learned about this style of service living in Hawaii, so it felt familiar to me.
Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the food. It's clean, packed with homestyle flavor, and will leave you feeling satisfied. That noodle soup? Pure magic. When I'm craving authentic, homemade noodle soup, this is the spot I head to. It's not an everyday thing, but when that specific craving hits, Lucky Foo delivers.
The vibe inside is something else. It's quiet - like, eerily quiet - and filled with what looked like college-age Asian students. No background music, no chitchat, just people focused on their bowls or phones. It's an experience, I'm telling you.
Don't expect any fancy menus - it's all up on the wall. And heads up, it's cash only. But honestly? The food is so good, you won't even care.
If you're after authentic Chinese cuisine without any of the fuss, Lucky Foo is your spot. It might not be for everyone, but for those who get it? It's a little slice of homestyle heaven right here in Kearny.
Can’t get enough of this food , people here are very nice ?

Owned by the sweetest old couple, I've been coming here literally since I was 5 and it brings me back so many memories! Hands down the best handmade noodles and broth. I do recommend eating it there though, noodles get soggy in broth when taking out.
