Lucky China

Hot and sour soup was basically broth… had very few veggies and meat. Lemon chicken was a good sized portion and sauce was good. Rice was kinda hard. Delivery time was very quick for a Friday night (35 minutes).

I ordered in for them to deliver last night. It was very quick and fast! The food had good taste to it. I’d definitely order from them again!

Eh its pretty expensive for the amount of food we got. The House special wonton soup was sub par compared to other local area restaurants. The crab cheese wontons didn’t have crab in them. Wasn’t horrible but wouldn’t take the time to go back again.

This is your standard good Chinese place. The service is good, the food is good too. The owners are very friendly.
It’s a little dirty inside. Three stars because it’s pretty expensive and doesn’t have a wow factor. $ 15 for sesame chicken with fried rice and two egg rolls.

Amazing! This is one of the best Chinese places around. The crab cheese wontons are amazing as well as the sesame chicken. I also love the chicken corn soup!

First off, the online ordering makes everything easy and convenient. I was given a time frame for my delivery of 30 to 45 minutes, 20 minutes later as I was taking the dog out for a bathroom break, the delivery man showed up. He was there early and he even was so kind as to take the food back up the stairs and leave it outside my apartment door so I could finish with my dog. The food was delicious and arrived pipping hot. Good food and fast and friendly service. I couldn’t ask for more. I will no doubt be ordering from here again, especially since they have an online punch card for online orders.

The food is good. I particularly like their home made noodles. This is China style Chinese food, not Cantonese nor Taiwanese. I ordered one of my favorite dishes, Sichuan style boiled fish, and a pork noodle soup thing. They both hit the spot. The boiled fish isn’t as hot as I would like but the noodle soup is great. I can’t think of too many places that serves China Chinese food. This place is a gem.

This place is great! Very authentic and friendly staff. The food is great — you must try the beef brisket noodle soup. My advice, add in some of the homemade chili oil that’s on the table. The noodles are homemade and the broth is super flavorful. My boyfriend ordered the scallion beef — also very tasty. I would definitely come back!
After reading some of the reviews, this place is not for the customers who constantly need to make adjustments to their order. You know the customer who orders beef with broccoli, and then asks that it is served with bok choy with light sauce. This is a family run business that makes good authentic food, if you want Americanized Chinese, just go to Panda Express and save everyone the hassle.
If you want an authentic experience, stop on in — you won’t be disappointed!

Good good stuff if you are patient and easygoing! Truth be told, the service isn’t the best and yes, the restaurant is run by a limited English speaking Chinese family. But… the food is good! My Chinese tiger mom spends many nights here because she loves the food. So take it from her. There are many authentic Chinese dishes on and off the menu. Unfortunately, you may never get to try them without a Chinese speaker but ask the staff to make you something special. They are awesome and willing! You definitely should be getting Chinese food here if you visit (not Korean), it is Lucky China afterall!

So good and authentic Chinese food. They have an American Chinese menu and a traditional Chinese menu. I love the seafood hotpot and the spicy chicken!

My favorite Chinese restraunt in Denver. Best bowl of beef noodles I have had in the States. Can’t beat home made noodles. Looking forward to try ing the spicy boiled fish next!

Hot pot! Denver! Together! Ask for the paper menu. All you can eat $ 18.99 for lunch and $ 23.99 for dinner! Get it done!

First time here I was curious on why a Chinese restaurant would be in a Korean shopping area. I didn’t have high hopes so I ordered the sesame chicken. It was in my top 3 in best sesame chickens. It was so good I literally ate it 5 days in a row. So I wanted to try some new things, and that’s when it started crashing down. I ordered the Kung pao chicken. It was awful! It literally was chicken with only bell peppers! I didnt give up so I ordered curry chicken and asked for no bell peppers since they over did it on my last order. So guess what I get? Onion curry with very little chicken. I gave up on trying new things so just ordered sesame chicken until they served me hard rice. This isn’t a place to be a regular because I’m pretty sure if I wasn’t, they would’ve put more effort in the other dishes. Will I go back? Probably not.

This might be my favorite place to get real authentic chinese food in Denver. I know it’s a bold statement but for me it’s true. I try to eat here at least once a week and I am always welcomed as if I was comming home for dinner with family. I recommend the eggplant, seafood soup, noodle soup, lamb skewers, and recently added hot pot. Come in and try this awesome place and don’t be afraid to explore the menu.

Place was ok. We got delivery food was just eh not awful but not worth ordering again. I always try places twice to make sure my first impression wasn’t wrong, this place was edible but bland and mushy both times.

It ok– not great and not bad. A reliable and safe choice — had delivery in less then 40 minutes. Ordered several appetizers — dumplings, chicken wings, crab rangoons, egg rolls, and beef short ribs. The short ribs were a tasty and pleasant surprise so I recommend them. Everthing else was average and as expected. Ordered the Lo mein with chicken entrée — it was huge portion. The noodles could have been cooked more and chicken was very plain. Was a little dry so added soy sauce.

We ordered 2 dishes for lunch and it was decent the first time we ordered. The second time revealed the horror that this restaurant truly is. The dish I ordered didn’t even taste like Chinese food. They would do nothing but remake the dish or refund the money. Nothing to compensate for the fact that i had ordered take out and drove all the way home before finding their mistake. Definitely will not be going to lucky China again

No one here speaks English.
I ordered Kung pao chicken for pickup and ended up getting chicken and broccoli in soy sauce… They refused to give me a discount I had to go all the way back and get my money back. Rude horrible people.

It may seem a bit odd to be rewriting a review for Lucky China so soon after my first, but that’s how Lucky China goes, and I’m happy to roll with the punches. Lucky China has now redesigned their menu and really pretty much abandoned the Korean-​Chinese amalgamation. It was a quiet night so we talked with the owner, who is a nice Chinese woman who does front-​of-​house (and her husband cooks). She said that the Korean items were not hits with the Koreans, and people are coming in mostly for the authentic Chinese fare at Lucky China. (Shows how much I know about the restaurant business; I was saying that they should embrace the Korean-​Chinese fusion.) There are some Korean noodle dishes remaining, but they are relegated to their own section on the back of the menu, and Northern Chinese cuisine now reigns.
Call it whatever you want, it’s still some great food. I’ve enjoyed some of the best vegetable dishes in town here. Try the Bok Choy, Chinese Lettuce, and Water Spinach dishes; they are cooked with such panache and flavor, you’re not going to miss the meat. Of course if you are an omnivore, there’s a great many other things to sample: red-​cooked pork, the spicy boiled fish, and spectacular soup noodle bowls (made with handmade noodles). We haven’t gone wrong once with anything we have ordered.

Woo! All that shopping at M-​Mart (or, if you prefer, Midopa) can really wear out a person. At times like these, I’m glad that I can pop right next door and have a great meal at Lucky China, which offers no less than *three* menus to choose from.
As you may have guessed, LC does indeed have the more Americanized options offered by many of our Sinitic-​focused places around town. So if you want to get your mouth around a Pu Pu — Platter, that is! — you’re in good company here, with a plate loaded with six different appetizers (egg rolls, cheese wontons, skewered beef, pork ribs, chicken wings and for you seafood lovers, even fantail shrimp). You can of course have your pick of sesame chicken, egg fu yung, garlic beef, and so on too… but wouldn’t you like to hear a bit about their Traditional Chinese menu? I suspected you might.
One of my favorite things here is the whole butterfish braised in a brown sauce boasting just the faintest whisper of star anise. In fact, it’s one of the most toothsome fish dishes I’ve ever tried — honest! But then again, I’m also enamored with the stirfry of pork, dried beancurd and spring onion. The wholesome, comforting beef brisket hotpot is another idea for you, as is the eggplant with basil, or the shrimp with rich salted egg, or even the Omasum (bible-​tripe — specifically the cow’s third stomach) in red chile oil. Honestly, you’re going to enjoy anything you try, so why not be a little adventurous? If you get really stuck, let your charming host (why yes, he did formerly work at China Jade a bit east of here) give you some suggestions.
And as if all that wasn’t enough, they even offer a few Korean-​Chinese options. Jajangmyeon (noodles with black bean sauce)… Bokkeumbap (fried rice)… Jjamppong (spicy noodle soup)… the gang’s all here. If you get a big enough group together, you can have a grand old time sampling from all three menus. Doesn’t that sound fun? So next time you find yourself needing some Pocky, Pretz, or even Calpis, try your luck at Lucky China too.
