Lucky Wok — Restaurant in Albuquerque

I had never been here before, so I decided to get a few things. I ordered some wontons,the Mongolian beef with egg drop soup, and Chicken fried rice. I expected the wontons to be cheese, but they had some meat in it and it tasted as though they put some cinnamon spice or something in it. The taste was weird, so I covered it up with some of the sweet-and-sour sauce they gave me. The Mongolian beef had so much pepper on it and took away the enjoyment of the Mongolian sauce flavor. They do serve quite a bit of vegetables with the Mongolian beef so that's a plus. The egg drop soup was lacking flavor. Very bland and tasted mostly of watery corn. I let my dog eat it. Good for their coats. The chicken fried rice was all right. Just needed to add two packets of soy sauce and it's pretty good. Don't think I'll be going back...

Ordered chow fun w/combination meat+spicy. Not to be dramatic but I almost teared up because it tasted JUST like how my grandpa, who was a chef in Taiwan in his early years & then headed a Chinese kitchen when he got to the states, used to make it. The flavor was amazing, the amount of grease (which is really important to this dish) was perfect, not too much that the rice noodles are slimy but enough so that when the dish cooled the sauce didn’t fully absorb into the noodles. For anyone who realllllly knows their Chinese & wok cooking-you know the very very specific flavor that a perfectly seasoned wok+green onion gives? Had it, just wow, I haven’t had this kind of food outside of my grandparents house. This was so delicious! We’re not from here but will be going back as many times as possible...

I heard about Lucky Wok on Nextdoor and decided to try it..My fiance and I walked into a small but very clean and welcoming dining area-this place apparently does a brisk takeout and GrubHub business. Because of this, we had a bit of a wait, but the waiter graciously served us light, crispy eggrolls with sweet and sour sauce with a a small dollop of Chinese mustard on the house.

The moo goo gai pan and chicken with snow peas had perfectly cooked veggies, yender pieces of white chicken, and flavorful sauces.

If you plan to dine there in cold weather, dress warmly because there is no way to escape cold air rushing in when the door is opened. Honestly, their food is so amazing, this place should have its...
