Lucky Chinese - El Centro

I used to really enjoy this restaurant, but it seems like the quality has declined a bit. The portion sizes are still generous, but be sure to finish them while you're there; leftovers never seem to hold up well. The food used to be much better, which is disappointing to me. Dining in has become a no-go; it's always too crowded, cramped, and noisy. I miss how Lucky's was a decade ago. The prices are still reasonable and affordable for a family meal. I might give it another try soon—maybe.

The food was tasty and the service was satisfactory, but the ambiance left something to be desired. The tables were too close together, and it felt quite crowded with many customers at once, which made me feel a bit claustrophobic.

I placed my dinner order early at 11 AM to ensure I would receive freshly prepared food. I chose the family dinner for two, but everything tasted like it had been sitting in my fridge for three days. The pork was tough, almost like jerky, and there was hardly any beef in the beef and broccoli. The egg rolls were soggy and greasy. From now on, I will definitely be going to Fortune House instead.

Large portions, magnificent food, very kind, fast service.

An amazing experience. The Salt and Pepper Shrimp was incredible. Huge crispy perfectly seasoned I'd rather call prawns. We had a choice if we wanted asparagus so of course...add them on!! The plate could feed two or three and a big bowl of rice. The day after, another serving and I still have for tomorrow! All for only $22! Size did matter!! Well unfortunately I live on the other side of the country and will have to wait for another trip around the sun to go back (sad face)
