It takes sooooo long to wait. And there are some tables with one person waiting for their party to arrive. The policy states from the manager that a party must be fully present and arrive together to be seated. This policy has been abused by the general manager for allowing and disregard to its own policy that was stated for us the patrons.

Been wanting to try this place out for some time now, but there's always a crowd waiting and parking at the tiny plaza here is horrendous. They unfortunately don't take reservations if it's less than a certain number of people. I didn't ask what that number is, but 5 isn't it. Finally came here with family for an early dinner (and there was already a small wait).

It's a lively place for sure (read as: kind of loud), but service is good and fast. Food was quite good, and the set menus and a good variety. There are many good choices and we found ourselves unable to decide.

Prices were fair and portions were quite good. I'd come back again (early of course).

This place is fire. Ordered rice noodle with beef. Beef tasted like BBQ cooked. Place was packed for good reason.

We had a party of 9 and they let us make reservations (only for 6 and more can make reservations) and they did not tell us table was only for 2 hours and was basically rushing us away when we still had a lot of food left on the table. It would have been nice if they mentioned it when we made reservations or when we sat down.

The place is closed for 2 weeks. Don't make a wasted trip like us.

Holy moly this place is crazy. Call on the phone 2 days before ask to book and table, and they tell me no booking and just walk in. I drove for 30 mins, arrived and they tell you that you need to wait for another hour for people that already booked. Even though there are tables, they said it’s saved for people who booked a table. Not sure about the food because I never get to eat there, but service is definitely one of the worst in Markham. Good luck getting a table there 😂.

Good Chinese food but parking is difficult in this place. We were told in the evenings we could park at the church across the street.

They don't really have small tables so pretty much groups of 4+ only.

Small local Chinese restaurant. Fresh food and good. No reservation in general and visit early is recommended.

If you don't know how to read Chinese, forget about it - you won't be able to understand anything on the menus. It's very clear Lucky Pot tends to mostly cater to exclusively Chinese clientele. I had to come with my Chinese girlfriend to understand anything on the menu.

Your typical Cantonese fare is served here and most items are done well enough. The quality of the wok hei is okay, making the food not excellent but just great compared to its counterparts like Dong Kee, J&Y or Yu Seafood.

If you can come here with a Chinese reading friend/family - try it out. Restaurants like these need to be supported and should be kept around. Extremely affordable and great tasting for the low price.

My favorite item was the shredded chicken, but most items are really good.
