Luk Fu — Restaurant in Bossier City

Was here with my daughter who is half Asian, so we came in to satisfy the rice cravings.

The menu has maybe three or four varieties of sake. I asked about one in particular, and the server had no clue as to what any of them were.

I ordered dish one. Nope. Don't have that.

I asked about Pho. Nope. Don't order that. It's not good here.

I order a noodle dish.

When they brought the food, my noodle dish was instead some beef dish with rice, which incidentally had a price tag double that which I had ordered.

I called the server over to tell her this wasn't what I ordered, and the server argued with me and told me that's exactly what I ordered. I pointed to the menu, read the Chinese characters, the Korean words, and the English description and said, no, I definitely ordered a noodle dish.

Manager has to be brought in. Takes my plate away. She did take it off the bill.

My daughter's plate looked ok, but thirty bucks for maaayyybeee two ounces of pork with rice seemed a little excessive.

I called the manager over and said I'd pay, but really didn't know what to do about the tip. I ended up paying the fifty dollar tab (I did get the sake) and tipped ten bucks just to get out of there. I was so frustrated that I didn't know how to further handle the situation.

I went over to the hotel desk and asked for a property manager. I'll have to look up her name when I return to the hotel this weekend because she was wonderful. She took us over to the sports bar and told the bartender to give us anything we wanted, and it was all comped. So all's well that ends well.

For Chinese food, we ended up going to Lucky Palace the next day and enjoyed some delicious Chinese food for a fair price and excellent service. That place has been a Bossier gem for years and years.

In three visits so far, this restaurant has been the only negative aspect of an otherwise top notch property. I have absolutely loved every other aspect of Live Bossier.

I'll be back this weekend enjoying the spectacular service over at the sports bar. That place is well done top to bottom,...

I do not drink. I do not gamble. I DO live in Shreveport and I still come to Live Casino to eat.

There’s not just one restaurant here, there are several and Luk Fu’s Asian EVERYTHING menu is one of my favorites.

And when I say everything I mean everything. I had Vietnamese egg rolls, Japanese sushi martinis, Shrimp pad Thai, shrimp fried rice AND snow crab Thursday and they had Chinese dishes like orange chicken and after the fact I learned their crab Rangoon is some of the best in town.

Whether you’re staying at Live Casino (which I’d consider doing despite living only 4 miles away) or just looking for a nice fancy dinner this place has all the tastes and ambiance and service for a wonderful experience.

The dumplings are OH so stuffed and yummy. I could have eaten 12.

The snow crab is sweet and fresh. Everything came out so fast and hot (except the delicious sushi appetizer filled with chunks of fresh fish and covered in caviar and masago… so good).

There was nothing I did not like, with this meal and there is tons on the menu left to try.

Live Casino has definitely been offering an elevated dining experience at all their restaurants and you can tell they’re the newest casino in town because they’ve mastered the overall experience in a way that brings a little bit of Vegas right here to the SBC.

10/10 experience!...

We decided to try Luk Fu because, hey, trying new things is supposed to be fun, right? WRONG. It turns out, the real adventure wasn’t the food itself—it was trying to figure out what we actually ordered versus what mysterious ingredients decided to crash the party.

The menu said one thing. The plate said, “Nah, we’re doing something different.” It’s like the chef got bored halfway through and just started playing Chopped: Chaos Edition. “Oh, you wanted chicken and rice? Here’s some bonus seaweed, a dash of confusion, and a sprinkle of regret.”

Now, the flavor… or rather, the lack of it. I have eaten plain white rice that had more personality. If this food were music, it’d be elevator music played on mute. If it were a person, it’d be that one coworker you always forget exists. I took one bite and had to check if I had COVID again because I tasted absolutely nothing.

At this point, my taste buds had officially resigned, so rather than let the food go to waste, we did the next best thing: donated it to a homeless person. Hopefully, they have lower expectations than we did.

Would I recommend Luk Fu? Nope. Would I recommend their service? Absolutely—our server was the real MVP and the only reason this isn’t a 1-star review. They deserve a raise for keeping a straight face while serving this...
