About Lucky Garden Chinese Restaurant

Based on six reviews, Lucky Garden Chinese Restaurant in Salem offers a mixed experience. The atmosphere is described as having a small dining room with a TV, video lottery machines, and moderately comfortable bench seating, though a faint, odd smell was noted. Service receives contrasting feedback; some found it prompt and excellent with food arriving in five minutes, while others experienced a forgotten order and an employee wearing pajama pants. An employee was also seen smoking by the entry door.

Food quality varies. Positive mentions include the Mongolian Chicken with added broccoli, chicken & vegetables described as fresh and tasty, and sweet & sour chicken. The lunch specials are noted as a good value at $10.95 or $11.00 with fried rice, with larger than expected portions. However, some dishes were criticized: the Cashew Chicken had veggies that weren’t as fresh, the General Tso’s Chicken was just okay, the Fried Rice was plain and dry, and the Crab Puffs could use more crunch. The Egg Flower Soup and Hot & Sour Soup were decent. A specific Pad Thai order was great, with the option to request fried eggs for an extra charge. The tea is served extremely hot by the cup, and one guest noted bad-tasting water. Overall, the restaurant is considered recommendable for Chinese and other Asian dishes, though opinions on freshness and service are divided.
