Lucy’s Chinese Food

Hit or miss unfortunately. They have really good chicken, all white meat too, but the sad part is that sometimes it is just plain garbage. It’s almost like it’s been sitting out for hours. Just today I went there for lunch. I got the spicy, nice and spicy, chicken. The chicken was wonderful, but the side items I got, three crab rangoon, were nasty. They were hard and brown the filling was just plain bad. The rice was mediocre, still tasted pretty old. The fortune cookie, excellent! I really love their chicken, I just wish they would make sure to always serve fresh items and not give paying customers the leftovers. I really want to like them, but they just aren’t fresh most of the time, hit or miss unfortunately.

Been a long time since I visited a Lucy’s so I figured I’d make it a lunch stop. Not much has changed. For nominal price you get a half order of their version of general chicken, fried rice, and a choice of side. I went with the wantons.
Overall the flavor was exactly the same as I remember from my poor college student days. Chicken was crispy and A-​ok. Sauce is not your usual brown sweet hot of other places and not what I would call amazing but it does offer a different take on the dish.
Service was friendly and the place was average clean. Very clean when I think about some other long time Chinese houses in this town.
So good for a meal but don’t know that I crave the flavor enough to be a regular.

Our favorite Chinese food in Springfield; we always stop on our way through town. Small menu, but good quality food. I’m baffled by the reviews complaining about price. You might be able to get more food at other places, but definitely not up to the quality Lucy’s offers and we never leave hungry.
Restaurant is always clean and service is fast.

The girl that was taking orders was not friendly at all. Food came out quick and was ok. Would not go back

Good food, maybe a little on the high$ side considering a half order of chicken is $ 6.50. Wasn’t much there… I wouldn’t go back because you can get much more for less other places!

Food was OK. Major headache within an hour of eating, guessing way too much MSG. Don’t sit under a fan in the dining room, dirt and dust hanging off the fan blades, lucky they were not running.

Basic Chinese menu. Don’t come here if you looking to order much past sweet and sour or cashew chicken. I do like the spicy stir fry.

After trying Generals Chicken at several other Springfield restaurants and being severely disappointed, I tried it at Lucy’s and was impressed. The best Generals Chicken I’ve had in a while.

If you are looking for inexpensive Chinese food in a clean place, this is it.
