Lucky House

Just moved to the area. This place has awesome dinner combination specials and FAST delivery! We will definitely be bringing Lucky House a lot of business!

4 stars for the food. It’s decent greasy Chinese food. Arrives hot and fresh and deliciously bad for you. No complaints on quality.
One negative note: how old is that boy who usually works at the counter!!! I’ve ordered here about 4 – 5 times now, and my order has ALWAYS been taken by a young boy who looks to be about 10. He’s always been the only one at the counter and runs through the whole order and credit card process by himself. I feel bad… I hope he’s getting some benefit out of this and isn’t just free family labor. :-/

IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE DO NOT EAT HERE. alright so first sign is that this place has been reopened by the same family in the same location under a different name 5 times. that has to signify a problem. Everyone who has lived in Clinton for awhile knows this as the worst place in town. its dirty and the food is gross. there’s been so many instances of people getting sick from this place. the only time I’ve actually ordered something there was when my friend lost a bet and had to eat there. they reluctantly took their first bite of a chicken finger and BLOOD POURED OUT OF IT. we were all in disbelief and started screaming. the staff tried to calm us down and said they would give PART of our money back if we didn’t call anybody and report it. I’ve been horrified ever since.

I don’t know why but I am surprised that I find the food here very good. Everything we have ordered… over several meals… has been very good. Chinese food in MA is typically buffet food served in plastic containers but this place is pretty good by comparison.

Lucky House is our go to for take out Chinese. Overall the food is good, and a great bargain. Every order over $ 10 gets a free item depending on how much you spend. The online ordering is awesome, and we’ve tried both delivery and pick-​up. We haven’t had to wait like others, but we tend to order during the week.

I’ve been here a few different times and I still find the food to be the best Chinese food in Clinton, but the service isn’t always great. Although they do offer 2 egg rolls or a free soda when they make a mistake it doesn’t stop them from making mistakes. The trick is, they are always very busy on Fridays and anytime I’ve ordered on a Friday they tell me 30 minutes, and it takes at least 60. Other people waiting when I go to pick up report the same thing. The dining area is very small and the parking is very limited. I find it much easier to park on the street.

To update my prior review, I did give this place another chance. The food was still good, and there was no disaster. We put in a large order with a variety of things, and no one complained. Or raved. I will go back again, and I have upgraded my review from 1 to 3 stars… it will take a few more solid experiences to erase the sting from the first visit.

The food is the same as any other American Chinese food but their customer service and value is great which is why they get 5 stars in my book. We don’t exactly order Chinese food when we want a gourmet night, if I want something gourmet ill make it myself or go to a real restaurant. Its Americanized Chinese food, you know what you are getting so for people to complain about «quality» of fake Chinese food is just silly. Its greasy and MSG loaded and its perfect on a night when you don’t want to cook and you just want to hang out with some drinks and some netflix. Their lunch specials are $ 5.79 you really cant beat that, you get a choice of rice, an entrée a couple pieces of your choice of an appetizer as well as a can of soda. Also their lunch portions for the $ 5.79 special are bigger than the dinner portion so make sure you place a weekday order before 3:00 or so and get a couple lunch specials to have for dinner. I have ordered from here maybe 5 times or so, and there were no issues with my order until the most recent one, they forgot the soda and they gave us 2 general gau chicken instead of 1 sesame chicken. No biggie, it all taste the same anyways. Slap on some duck sauce and you’ll never know the difference. They gave us extra soda the next time we ordered. Just try to avoid ordering at busy times that when mistakes happen, also the food we’ve ordered at lunch seems to be better and more fresh than the dinner time rush food.

Very meh food. Not impressed by anything really. Crab rangoons were the worst I have ever had (how can a Chinese food place screw up these?). Scallion pancakes were also bad. Wont order again.

I received a menu in the mail earlier this week and was about to toss it in the recycling bin when I thought to check Unilocal first. It had a 4 star and 5 star review with claims of fresh, good food. So my wife and I decided to give it a try and were very disappointed. Lucky for me, my expectations weren’t too high to begin with and just walking into the place helped lower them even more. I probably shouldn’t have even placed the order after asking if they use white meat in their General Tso’s chicken, and was told «No, we use fried meat.» I didn’t know exactly what that meant, but it concerned me a little. She said we could have white meat for a $ 1 more. I thought that was reasonable until I ate some. The sauce was okay, but the chicken had a spongy texture. I can only imagine what the «fried meat» for a dollar less would have been like.
I disagree with Jane W when she says that «the rice was not overcooked and ‘old’». Mine certainly was overcooked and could very well have been «old», but perhaps I had the batch they made on May 12^th when she was there…
The chicken wings were so crispy and dry I thought they might shatter in my hands when I bit into them.
I’ll stick with Clinton Gourmet for my local Chinese food.

Wow, this is an excellent chinese takeout!
Great tasty Chinese food & good value!
This location was formerly known as New China (which has been in downtown Clinton for many years) when the owners sold it and it became China Time (same owners as Thai Times).
China Time did not last long, and I think the owners tried to serve chinese food in portions like thai dishes (small portions).
The new place/​owner of Lucky House reminds me of the food offer by New China. The prices at Lucky House is much more reasonable than China Time, and good size portions. Food was excellent, and service is very good. Love the Tong Ting Shrimp dish under Chef Speciality, really Jumbo shrimp. The Shrimp Egg Foo Young had plenty of Shrimp, plenty of shrimp, chicken, pork in the House Moo Shu, and
House Lo Mein. The boneless ribs where excellent, and the Chicken Wings are big and similar to the way New China offered, way better than China Time.
I now have my favorite chinese takeout and plan to be a regular client.
Welcome! You have to try this place, well worth it!
