Lucky Lin’s Restaurant

The food here is decent. It’s just a damn shame that the people running it are rude and don’t know how to fulfill an order.
New Years Eve, 2014. We were at a house party in the area and decided to place a take out order to be picked up at 6:30. We call in the order around lunch time. No problem she says. We arrive to pick up our food at 6:30. This place was packed! We couldn’t even get parking in their lot. Thank God we placed our order in advance we said. We go in and there’s at least 15 people in line. Calmly wait in line for our turn. Listening around, people are angry. I ask the gentleman next to me what’s up. He’s been waiting over 45 minutes for his food. WHAT? When did you order, I asked. He says he called in his order A WEEK AGO for pick up for his NYE party. Oh crap! To which the lady waiting next to him says, I ordered two weeks ago for my party and asked for delivery and not only did they not show up with food, they don’t even have my order! Needless to say our order wasn’t ready. To make matters worse, this genius running the show was still answering calls and taking more orders!!! One hour later, at 7:30, we got our food. Even then, it was only because we cussed this woman out. She tried to blame us for the delay saying that we ordered so late so what do we expect? Late? 6.5 hours notice isn’t late. And even if so, then don’t take the order! Other people ordered weeks before and she still didn’t have their food. We left behind around 40 angry people, some of which were there before we got there. What’s even worse is that the genius was telling people on the phone that their orders would be ready in 15 minutes! It came to a point where everyone in the restaurant was just laugh at her.
Now I’ve called before to place an order and this place didn’t even recall taking it. So I half expected this. The only thing lucky about this place is that the food is good. But the lady running the show isn’t the brightest bulb. She knows people will come back no matter what, so she’ll treat you how she wants to treat you. I personally won’t be going back again. My two stars are only for the food, otherwise this place gets squat.

This joint is always busy. It looks sketchy on the outside and inside but the food is damn good. I always get the fried rice with chicken on top, that’s damn good with the spicy sauce and the chili chicken is bless too. Reason I don’t give 5 stars is cuz the lady that runs the joint is too rushy rushy n slightly aggressive when it gets busy but it’s understandable. All in all, great joint for Asian food. Call ahead so you ain’t waiting around inside the joint or in your truck

I don’t know why Lucky Lin has an average rating of three stars, this place is the de facto standard for West Indian Chinese food in Toronto. Generous portions, and the taste is genuine. Strongly recommend.

So I’m not usually into small take out chinese places like this, but since my boyfriend was bragging about how amazing the fried rice is. I had to try it
So the joint itself is really a ¹⁄₅ it looks like someone just placed a couple chairs in there and a table or two. Looks like as if the back would be infested with something of some sort
It’s honestly strictly for take out, if you decide that you really have no place to eat and you want to dine in. Dont.
Overall after almost a 20 min wait we received the bbq chicken with a pop for 6 $
Truthfully I think I was just hungry but it was worth the 5 $

I’ve only had the bbq chicken fried rice from here but several times, I really enjoy it and it’s only $ 5.00. It’s more than enough to fill you up.

Lucky Lins is a take out place mainly serving chinese dishes and some caribbean food too (curry or roti dishes).
I usually come here and get a small fried rice with fried chicken on top for 5 bucks. It can easily share for 2 people. Taste is a-​ok for the money.
Ive tried the chili shrimp, overly greasy, overly battered. It was gross.
The chicken roti is something id also like to forget.
Mixed chow mien with chicken on top and Mixed fried rice with chicken on top is great. BIG portions, around 12 bucks each. Cant go wrong with these.
Service isnt ment to be rude, they just get straight to the point.

I only eat here because their second location is in the next plaza over from my work. (@ Markham and Finch)
It’s the only reason I eat here.
The food is kinda nasty after a while. We only usually order the lunch specials. Carribean Chinese is not my favourite. I prefer my favourite Hakka place — Federicks to this.
But whatevs, they’re lunch specials are 6 bucks, huge portions (of sub-​standard food) and it comes with a pop.
If you’re hungry and desperate cause theres nothing around, i guess eat here.

This place is kinda if-​y.
A friend told me about this place. It’s an absolute TAKE OUT joint — you would never want to eat in this place to a sit down.
When I go here from time to time, there are people standing around waiting for their orders and then there are a bunch of creppy Indian people downing their beers. Really sketchy.
I don’t know how clean this place is — it looks questionable.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen their safety pass posted up anywhere now that I come to think of it.
Anyways — the one thing you can’t go wrong with in this place is the Mixed Lo Mein. Generous portion of noodles with shrimp, chicken, beef and pork along with veggies. SOOO good. With any dish you order it’s wise to ask then not to put in cabbage or onions. I tend you find that chinese people use those are ‘fillers’ and then you don’t get the good veggies.
When you ask no cabbage or onion they end up giving you more broccoli and carrots. Just a tip :)
My friend tried their curry chicken but didn’t seem too impressed. I think she wanted more of an Indian curry and not the chinese style which was runny and watery.
Anyways — I pop here once in awhile when I crave a good noodle dish.
But not Scarborough’s finest that is for sure.
Staff are grumpy as well — she just wants you in and out of there — you won’t find service with a smile in this joint.
