Lucky Bamboo Restaurant

Carly Hood-Mahoney

I've hesitated to write a review for Lucky Bamboo because I know every place has "off" days, new trainees, or a true accident (not a lazy mishap.) The food, for the most part, is very good. I don't understand the portions - as I can order the same size of 2 items and one will come in the white carton and the other filled to the brim in a black plastic container. This isn't a matter of ordering a special menu item vs. a regular item. My big issue is their packaging. I have yet to get a bag of food that didn't have at least one dish with most of it's sauce leaked out. Now, for some dishes this is just an annoyance, but for others, it destroys the meal. My husband likes spicy food, so he gets a special sauce. When we get it and the sauce is leaked out all over the bag, it is a huge dissapointment. It also can leak into white carton items (like rice) and contaminate them. I say "contaminate" because my 3 year old can't have some of those items and we specifically ask certain things have sauce on the side. I would love to give 5 stars for their congeniality, willingness to make off menu dishes, pricing and flavor.... but I can't due to the issue above.

This location has changed ownership many times over the last 20 years. It has always been a decent place to get Chinese food in the area. I would recommend if you are in town, but there are better places to get Chinese Food if you want to travel.

The epitome of average Chinese food. There are many other places with better food. But if you don't want to drive far this will satisfy your cravings.

Not my favorite place for Chinese. Food is usually mediocre, since covid they only do take out and they are open and closed randomly and always closed Mondays. It's not bad when your tired of local places to grab a bite but would rather drive 45 min and goto west unions Chinese restaurant its waaaay better.

I've never had a bill where soda was the same price as the meal. Normal size glass, filled with ice, drank equivalent of a 20oz drink. Their highest profit margin item in the restaurant and it'll be the reason I don't come back. And that's big because I eat so much Chinese that I bleed sweet and sour...something I should probably have a doctor look at.

From the second we walked in out server was very rude and the food wasn't good enough to make up for it. I explained what I wanted and she was like it's right there on the chicken column. Sorry I didn't see it. She then asked about the egg roll and rice and I said I wouldn't like rice and she was very rude about it. We didn't even get her name.

Ridiculous prices for mid food.

You can’t go in and eat, takeout only. From the looks of other reviews it’s been this way for years. They have a whole dining room set up, seems like sheer laziness? Disappointing.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with a recent order. Upon consuming my sesame chicken, I encountered a screw within the meal. The presence of such an object is deeply concerning, and I am at a loss to understand how this occurred. Regrettably, I will no longer be placing orders with your establishment.

The Styrofoam containers craked open in the bag leaking sauce all over everything the egg rolls are spring rolls they do not answer the phone not friendly at all over priced for what you get noodles I got for the kids had more onions than noodles this is one time frozen Chinese food would have been a better option
