Only had the opportunity to try out the pork bun and egg tarts, but they might be some of the best I’ve had. The price is also incredible. Will definitely be coming back for more.
Only open on weekend.. pretty much the best duck in town..

This place is fabulous. I don't think docking them their rating has anything to due with their posted hours. It's so confusing though. One day I would see open- Friday, Sat, Sun, Monday. Next thing I know they're only opened on Friday, Sat, Sun. I drive up on Sunday evening to see them shutting down early, granted items may have sold out and my Little was bummed as she wanted a sesame ball. Great bakery, wished there was more in the display and varieties to pick from. I know in Chicago for China/Viet town the bakeries down there are stacked! Wished it was like that here too even some of the items we normally don't see here would be cool. shrimp rolls they use to sell, sponge cakes amongst other things. Still a great place.

Everytime I'm in the area, I always make a trip to Lucky's for their crispy roast pork. I only wish they had more options in the bakery. Nonetheless, you will not be disappointed with their egg tarts (of you don't mind the eggy taste). I also enjoy their steam BBQ buns and their deep fried pork dumplings. 😋

It has been our tasty delight to be regular customers of @Lucky Bakery & BBQ. They take pride in their food and go out of their way to please ALL their customers. My favorite custard tarts are often served to our dinner guests with a topping of fresh fruit and whipped cream. Order ahead this is justifiably a popular place !
Parking: Easy in and out parking in a large lot in front of the business.

This is a pretty awful and sleazy place. My family and I have patroned this establishment a handful of times, and each time was, memorably, a very unpleasant experience.
The food is SOMETIMES good, so we've returned in the past because we wanted to give Lucky Bakery & BBQ the benefit of the doubt. But today is the last time.
The main woman who (I assume) runs the establishment is outstandingly mean and rude. And unfortunately racist. Racist in the sense that she DOES prioritize Chinese customers over others. This specifically happened to us today. My dad and I were in line, along with others, waiting patiently. She dealt with everyone coldly. A Chinese customer entered, literally jumped everyone else in line to place her order and got effusively friendly and special treatment. Everyone noticed this.
The main woman is a cheat. She's cheated us almost every single time we've come in. She'll either run the bill up more than the value we purchased for, or the she'll short-change us on food. For example, we'd pay for 3 lbs of roast pork, go home, weigh our purchase, and it would be only 2.5 lbs. Or we'd buy 6 pastries and she would charge us for 10.
The receipt is deliberately not itemized so she/the establishment can escape accountability.
If you go in, bring your own scale, count your items, and check if she/they has overcharged you. When I've asked other friends/family if they've had similar experience, they've confirmed it.

Great dim sum items. Looking forward to trying the roasted duck.
Lucky’s is my favorite spot in Milwaukee to grab some Chinese pastries, pork dumplings, roast duck, and roast pork. They are busy so call ahead. If you don’t call ahead, expect 20-45 minute wait for the food. This is a busy mom and pop shop and so give her grace and tip her some money. She works extremely hard.
Btw, you won’t find another spot like this unless you travel south to Chicago. West Madison has a roast duck and roast pork at the Chinese grocery store but no pastries. So come support them to keep the culture and food here.

I’m sure the food is good, but I haven’t been able Try anything Because they are always out of everything! even when they are only open a few days a week, this place is a straight up joke.
Tasty food and desserts. Always go there once a month to get roasted duck and pork bbq bums.

This place just closes randomly and does not post it online. Business owners need to wake up and actually try in life.

Went in on a whim, and am glad I did. Got the pork ball and red bean ball. Price was excellent and the taste is out of this world. Wish I had gotten there earlier, as they sold out of a lot of bakery. Can't wait to go again!
