“Just came here for the first time. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants. I've eaten at in a long time in Hamilton. I will be coming back with my family and bring more friends as well.Thank you for the amazing service and the amazing food“

“As a Turk who has been living in Canada for 5 years, I can confidently say that this is the restaurant I've been most satisfied with in terms of price-performance ratio. We had dinner there twice when I came to Hamilton to visit friends. Generous portions of vegetables and meat, fresh, delicious food, and friendly service. The prices are incredibly reasonable too. I hope they never change. Chinese cuisine has become my favorite. They represent their country very well.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“Reminded me of what the former restaurant Joy Inn used to make. Old school Chinese food with lots of flavor. Only thing was the BBQ pork slices I was expecting to be cold like others but it was warm grilled and had a slightly sweet glaze. Chicken balls had a nice chunk of white meat lots of batter. Rices were not dry but can definitely see the oil they used it was shiny but doesn't taste oily. The sweet and sour sauce is not that usual vibrant red and thick sticky mess. It seems more homemade slightly runny more orange then red and not overly sweet. I paid 82 with delivery and it was for 4 people. Those pictures are leftovers after 3 of us ate. It's on the mountain on fennel Avenue and I live down the mountain close to the escarpment it was still hot.“

“This is the best chinese restaurant I have ever had! Super authentic and amazing tasting. Amazing service!

The fact that someone left this restaurant anything less than a 5 star review is mind blowing. I give this place a 10 star rating out of 5. Amazing. Thank you guys for the awesome service.“

“Very good fresh made food, very hospitable. Try the curry chicken with naan“

“Great food, great prices and great service. I highly recommend you try this place!“

“Great Pad Thai, fresh spring rolls, new ownership that has the right setup. Give it a try if in Stoney Creek area!“

“Authentic, fresh, and spicy Sichuan food with lots of veggies, served by a gracious and knowledgeable owner.“

“Absolutely amazing food and excellent customer service, I wish they had a Mr.dumpling in Kitchener,“

“Decided to try this place out for dinner with the family tonight and this review couldn’t wait another minute. This was by far the best chinese food I have had EVER, our favourite chinese restaurant just closed down but honestly this doesn’t even compare. Their General TSO’s chicken is the most amazing I have ever put on this palate and I strongly recommend, broccoli cooked perfectly and everything else we tried was just delicious, definitely try this place out, deserves more than 5 stars!“

“Amazing food , always order in but each time it’s always delicious. The best wonton soup in town 8 wontons for the price of 4 at regular restaurants. Unfortunately even though they are open til 11 I can’t order through Skip as it says they are closed and their phone number won’t work so I can’t even get an order placed so we go to South City which actually still delivers without having a delivery app. South city is just as amazing luckily. It’s only 8pm on a Saturday night how can they not be taking orders still?“

“1st visit…. Services was quick… food was HOT, fresh and portions were wonderful We are new to Hamilton and this is now our go too Chinese food take out Thank you we also like how you pack the orders … The Lang Family“

“Ordered For the first time tonight at 4:30 and the food was fantastic. If I had to be critical I would say cook those delicious veg for less time for that snappy crunch and crisp up those chicken balls a tiny bit more. Deeelicious! Good job guys. I will definitely order again.“

“Food has been just as good for the last 20 years and service has also been great!“

“Thankful to have this take out spot so conveniently located. Delicious congee, Cantonese chow mein and pan fried noodles. Will be back.

Parking: A few spots at the back of the building, but it is all that is needed since this is a grab and go place“

“This charming little spot has so much heart and soul to it that it's simply the best place in town for dumplings. The food is handmade with a personal touch and tastes exactly as if grandma made it for you with all the love in the world. The menu is simple, classic, and it's exactly what you'd expect. The staff treats every customer like family and is always happy to welcome you. Every time we go there is absolutely wonderful. Consistent excellence!“

“My date and I went in thinking they might have coffee but it’s more of a Korean tea lounge. I tried the Hokkaido milk tea and liked it ?. My friend had the peach tea but misunderstood and thought it would be like a western tea but she liked it still“

“Been ordering from here for years. Food is always hot and delivery is quick.. Always pleasant on the phone. No complaints here... 👌“

“We expected a party of approx 20 people on Jan 24/26 but due to the weather we had 3 people that flew out early from Pearson to Logan Airport and around 4 went home immediaely after the 'due' because they were from out of town. That left 13 of us. Since we had reserved, we still had a round table for 13 in the back of the restaurant. We decided to go with a family style format and actually ordered way too much food. The portions were large and tasty, from the egg rolls + spring rolls to a variety of dishes that satisfied everyone. We were extremely well looked after despite the restaurant getting busier. We were happy to see other parties in and out as January is very slow in the restaurant business. I dealt with someone on 3 occasions before we arrived and he assured me he woud make our dinner worth while. And he did. We ended up with one extra at the table designated for a comfortable 12 and that was okay. We also had our beloved SIL in a wheelchair to boot. We thought that would not be possible when we were expecting 20. Needles to say, we were not rushed, our food was excellent, we had good conversation around a round table and to add,.....it was a great experience. If ANYTHING, the room we were in could actual benefit from adding material or whatever on the walls, ceiling in order to cut way back on the noise. The table for 12 was far better than having 13 seated in a long table but noise barriers would help 100%. Thank you DRAGON COURT for an excellent experience You were recommeded by one of the folks who was at our table and did not disappoint.“

“I had a party. Needed a large order. I called it in the day before. Food was ready on time, hot and fresh. Everyone at the party thoroughly enjoyed the food. Ate the leftovers the next day. For me the marinate the beef properly. It's not tough and chewy, it's thin and soft. Their batter on the chicken is also delicious. And the spice green beans are ... Spicy. Great price and good portions.“

“My wife and I were regular customers of their restaurant from the late 1980's to the early 2000's. We have always enjoyed their food . We occasionally get takeout from them and still enjoy their great food . They still have a great menu and great specials.“

“Haven't ordered their food in a while. The combination plate prices haven't risen too extravagantly, pleasantly surprised! I ordered the #4 tonight (substituted the chicken fried rice for the pork), and the portions were great! Enough to put away for the next day. The only place I will order my Chinese food. Have been a customer ever since they opened several years back. One happy customer!“

“I have been wanting to come here for some time, since moving close by.Julian(I hope I spelt your name right) was the sweetest and super knowledgeable. She took the time to help me with picking proper items for my boyfriend that has allergies.Everything is made fresh and they even offer to bring your order out to your car when ready!Overall great service, great ppl and great food! I Will definitely be coming back!Thank youAmber :)

Parking: There is parking at the back.

Dietary restrictions: Very knowledgeable regarding options for allergies. Will explain ingredients in dishes!“

“We have been ordering from here for over 12 years. Consistently good food, friendly service and good portions!“

“Since the closing of South Sea, this has been our go to Chinese spot. The food is good and the prices are convenient, which keeps us coming back. Parking can be a bit inconvenient sometimes, and they can get so busy that you can’t even get through on the phone lol. Waiting around kind of sucks, especially since it’s not really a sit down restaurant anymore.

Overall though, solid food and a reliable choice when you’re craving Chinese.“

“We had the Saozi Beef noodles, the Beijing dumplings and Braised Chicken on Rice. The food was really flavourful and delicious with a homemade quality. The beef noodles dish is on the spicier side so if you have a low spice tolerance order with caution. The atmosphere accompanied the homemade quality of food with a home like environment. Our server was very kind, water is self serve which worked really well for us. The tip is included in your meal cost but very well deserved.“

“I go back to this old restaurant every year for gatherings with friends. Memories from when I first came to Canada~ There is no need for a menu when ordering food. Recommended cold dishes: tiger dish and intractable diseases; vegetarian dishes: stir-fried cabbage noodles and meat dishes: chicken pot and grilled skewers. good“

“Very convenient and nice spot to grab a plate if you’re near by or just living in the neighborhood, food looks vibrant, eggroll is huge, tempuras are amazing here.
Most negative reviews feel like people who are just entitled, one is complaining about their DoorDash driver even though that has nothing to do with the restaurant, don’t think he’s smart enough to realize but that made me want to leave a review to justify this place“

“Ok let me start by saying my family had gone to one and only one Chinese food establishment for the last 25yrs. They sadly closed this year so we had to search for a new place and I can officially say we have found our new FAVORITE spot!!!

The service (I ordered pickup) was very professional and pleasant.
When I arrived to pick up food, had a nice conversation while I waited and it was just an overall great first experience.

The food was fantastic! Everything we ordered had great taste and the portions were good as well.

We will definitely be ordering more from them in the future!!!“

“EXCELLENT. Ordered randomly being new to Hamilton - and it is the best Chinese food we have ever had. Generous serving size, piping hot and absolutely delicious! Will be our new "go to" and have already recommended to friends.“

“On this day 07/23/2025 about 4:00 P.M. we were at Cente Mall, dropped into the Food Court, we were both a bit hungry, wife got the consommé soup (it was piping hot and a nice tasty broth), I on the other hand went with the rice or chow Mein with (1) item for $11.59 + HST. I got the Sesame Chicken with the Chow Mein combined together. It was just plain Chow Mein, and Sesame Chicken was nicely batter with a sweet taste to the sauce that covered it. The food was tasty, but only thing preventing it giving it a 5 star rating, although the food looks heated and hot in their containers (stainless steel), the food was at best a tad warm? If this food was served hot, I would rate it higher. Nice friendly service on board, cheerfully serving the customers on their requests. Plenty of food served, I’ll have enough to take home and heat it up, to my expectations.“

“Ordered a shrimp fried rice, it was piping hot and ready in the time they stated when I called. This is a very simple dish, rice and shrimp. I didn't notice any vegetables or egg in the rice, egg would have been a nice touch, but nevertheless, the rice was flavourful not overly salty at all, the shrimp is cut up but there is a good amount of shrimp, not only what you see in the photo but there are also pieces under the rice, almost every bite of rice could have a bit of shrimp. The shrimp wasn't very seasoned but were plump, cooked perfectly and everything came together well. For $12 I am thourally satisfied. This is a simple take out place, but I would say very authentic, but I'm no expert!“

“I've been here many times at lunchtime on a workday and their food and service has always been great for me. I typically get the two-item plate with the noodles, broccoli, and General Tao Chicken and while the quality of each bite can vary a little bit, it is all within an acceptable range and at least as good, if not much better than most food court Chinese food. There seems to be a lot of disgruntled people in these reviews from a long time ago, so I don't know if things have changed for the better recently. Also, I don't know if the quality will go downhill later in the afternoon / evening as the food is kept warm for hours. My experience is limited to lunchtime on workdays, and I would definitely recommend it for people looking for lunch. I took away one star under atmosphere not for anything the restaurant did or didn't do but because it is Jackson square and it's tired.“

“We’ve ordered directly from Lucky Chinese, for delivery, a few times now. We are delighted with the phone service, the delivery service, the prices on the website match what they charge, and especially the food.
The food arrives hot, and delicious, the appearance and quality is excellent. We haven’t had chinese this good in years. We’ll keep ordering from Lucky Chinese. Please keep up the great job!“

“We've going to Shanghai for about 13 years now love the place but last night wow it was so busy I know it was family day but I think there was only one person working in the kitchen they told us it will be ready in 30 minutes an hour and half later it was ready but the food is excellent we'll be coming back.“
