“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.“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“I have never been an Applebees person but I went there with my granddaughter and found that the food menu is better than it used to be. I had the shrimp and sausage with penne pasta. SO GOOD…
The drinks are still a bit “weak” but they were good tasting. The service was good too considering that our waiter had a whole section to work by himself.
Overall, I enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. I will be returning again.“

“Been going here since I was a kid and the restaurant was a small spot. Their food progressively gets better as time goes on. I love stopping in to visit, but I mostly order delivery. Their staff are kind and on point.“

“We had the pleasure of dining at this Portuguese restaurant for the first time, and it was such a delightful experience! The food was incredibly flavorful and felt so authentic—every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The portions were very generous, with each dish easily enough for two people to share. I particularly loved the tender meats and perfectly seasoned gravy. The lovely lady who served us made the experience even better with her warm service. As it was our first time trying Portuguese cuisine, we were thoroughly impressed. We’ll definitely be coming back for another visit!“

“Come for the food, you won’t regret it. Sichuan food at its finest, this is not your typical American style Chinese food. Parking is difficult but there’s street parking nearby. Haven’t had Sichuan food this good outside of Flushing, Queens. Mapo Tofu, lamb cumin, and cold tripe/meat appetizer are 🔝⭐️“

“Absolutely delicious! I had the birria tacos and the chicken with garlic sauce both were incredible! The rice was perfectly cooked, and the guacamole with chips was so fresh and flavorful. The horchata was also amazing sweet, creamy, and refreshing. Everything tasted authentic and made with love. Highly recommend Mi Pueblito if you’re craving real Mexican food! 🌮🇲🇽✨highly recommend it!“

“Picked up a large cheese pizza with mushroom and onion toppings late at 11 PM.. They made it fresh, asked us for our preferred spice levels and our preference with garlic and handed it over to us in 10 min! Not like a regular cheese pizza with just the sauce and cheese, I love the bit of spice and garlic notes!! Very delicious and very reasonable“

“I recently visited this charming local café and had a fantastic experience! Marta provided amazing service, making me feel right at home. The food was excellent, with a real sense of authenticity. I highly recommend trying the Chicharrones paired with their homemade Picante sauce an absolute must! Looking forward to my next visit!“
