The food is really good here. However, last week a friend ordered soup with her meal. She went to open the soup and it spilled on her. It was so hot.It actually melted her skin. She went to the doctor and they told her she should have gone to the emergency room immediately. There is no reason to have it that hot it melts your skin. I have no idea what she's going to do.

I got delivery from here - first time. It was decently priced but the food was just OK. There wasn't much flavor to it and the crab rangoons lacked much filling, too. I probably won't be calling them again, unfortunately.

I have been on the hunt for decent Chinese food in my new hood, so had to check it out after looking at the decent reviews. It is a very unassuming place. No seats, just pick up and go. The staff were friendly and efficient. I got twice cooked pork, chicken fried rice and fried chicken dumplings to go. Order was ready on time if a little early. The twice cooked pork was good and had a surprising amount of heat (zing) - in a good way. The dumplings were decent. A little too doughy for my taste, but filling was flavorful. The fried rice was probably my least favorite. They did stuff A LOT of fried rice in the container, so there is that. It was greasier than I like and the rice seemed little underdone. Overall decent, not great. I will probably go back again and try a few others things to see if I find a keeper and see if the fried rice was a one time oops or if that is the way it always comes.

The food came fast, hot, and was delicious. It's the best in the area for sure. I enjoyed the spring rolls.

I like this place. The food is good. Love their egg rolls! It really is a spot for you to pick up. There aren't tables for you to eat at. They have good luncheon specials!

Good Luck..... I came off of a recommendation. I honestly think the prices are a little high even post pandemic. I ordered the sesame chicken. I wish the chicken was a little more crispy before they added the sauce. I also ordered plain fried rice which was $1.00 extra but it was lacking in any sort of flavor. Decent if that's what you like. I definitely have had better but unfortunately it's not in the local area.

We decided to give Good Luck another try - I was a little nervous, as our previous experience was years ago, and it wasn't that memorable. We were craving for some Americanized Chinese fare, and we had read that this place serves up some good chow fun - so, we placed an order in-person and ordered the following: +Crab Rangoon - these were more flat and didn't have much filling, but it was still a good app to start off with; the sweet & sour dipping sauce wasn't overly sweet, either, which was great +Beef Chow Fun - this was pretty tasty; the noodles were slightly overcooked, but the flavors were spot on, and it was of a generous portion; definitely not as salty, which we appreciated, but you can doctor it up with some soy sauce and chili oil +General Tso's Shrimp - the shrimp was large, and you can request this to be extra spicy; however, there was no kick +Szechuan Crispy Beef - these were on the overly sweet side, as the sauce is definitely that; however, the beef itself was crispy, and you can request this to be extra spicy which may give a very slight kick to it The rice that comes with the entrees were forgettable; they were kind of clumpy and mushy, and seemed kind of discolored. Note that this place is strictly a carry-out, so you'll have to call ahead and place orders or place orders in person; the place is definitely popular, as the phone continued to ring, and there were patrons coming in often for a pickup. Staff are pretty friendly and efficient. There are a couple of chairs inside you'd like to wait for your order. Parking available in the front. +beef chow fun +friendly & efficient staff +parking available

I came in here last night for takeout dinner. The meal was ready about ten minutes after I ordered. I got the Szechuan-style beef ( and a couple of cans of soda. The total was a little less than $20.00. I left a $3.00 tip. The beef was cooked in sweet and sour sauce and was covered with sesame seeds, with lettuce and onions. The servings were generous. I could have split it into two meals, but I was really hungry. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The service was quick and friendly. No complaints.

I will drive across the state to get food from here. This has been the most consistent, portion-generous, tasty takeout place we have discovered since moving to the area. Orders are always accurate, ready on time and the food tastes better than most takeout places we've been to over the years. An awesome gem tucked into an inconspicuous location.
