Lucky Fortune — Restaurant in Damariscotta

Lucky Fortune is a casual Chinese Restaurant that within its unassuming atmosphere you will stumble across a place that can rival the quality of a high end restaurant. Of course all of your Chinese American comfort foods are available, but I urge you to step out of your comfort and ask about their authentic Chinese dishes. I've been here several times, but today I was feeling a bit depressed and I was looking for something a bit lighter for comfort on a dreary rainy day.

I started off with an amazing pork bun, which I highly recommend, soft bread bun stuffed with rich pork in a brown sauce. Next I had their authentic bok Choi, which comes in a beautiful garlic sauce, cooked to perfection. For my main dishes I ordered the Szechuan Beef combo meal with Fried Rice and Chicken Fingers. Normally I am not huge into Chicken Fingers, often the breading tends to be too thick, but today they seemed to hit just right, especially when dipped in the sauce from the Bok Choi or the Szechuan Beef. The fried rice was a pretty standard pork fried rice, one of my favourite comfort foods, and a nice balance between sticky and too dry, too much of either of those ruins fried rice. Of course the focal point of the dish is the Szechuan Beef, which has that beautiful tingling spice that makes this dish do amazing. The beef was soft and tender, and I love that their version of this classic dish includes vegetables, which was something I was craving today. Then to compliment such a great dish I had it with a hot tea.

This was a perfect meal for a cloudy rainy May day in Maine, and it gave me a bit of comfort, like a big edible hug, which I needed so badly today. Then to add on to the comfort of the meal is an amazing staff, creating an environment that is welcoming and feels like having dinner with friends. I highly recommend this amazing place, bring friends and ask about doing a traditional family style Chinese dinner, or ask them about authentic dishes that they have...

General Tso Chicken is simply a delicious treat from heaven, and I have to share it with you all. As soon as it was served, the rich aroma wafted towards me, instantly whetting my appetite. The chicken is fried until golden and crispy, with each piece evenly sized. The outer layer is coated with an appealing sauce, shiny red and oily, making it look mouth - watering. When I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth, the first thing I felt was the crispness of the chicken skin. With a "crunch", the wonderful texture was intoxicating. Then, the tender and juicy chicken unfurled in my mouth. The meat was so tender and smooth, without any stringy feeling. The sauce is the very soul of this dish. It's sweet with a hint of spiciness. The spiciness is just right, not overly pungent, but rather adding a unique flavor that blends perfectly with the freshness of the chicken. Every bite is simply unforgettable. The side dishes are also cleverly paired. The refreshing broccoli and carrots not only add rich colors to the dish but also provide a refreshing taste, alleviating the greasiness of the chicken and making the overall taste of the dish more diverse and balanced. The portion size is quite generous. It's completely suitable whether you're having it as a single - person meal or sharing it with friends. The price is also very affordable, offering great value for money. The service at this restaurant is extremely attentive. The waiters are warm - hearted, and the food is served quickly. The restaurant environment is clean and tidy, making the dining experience very comfortable. If you haven't tried it yet, you must give it a try. I'm sure you'll be conquered by its...

My family placed over a $200 order that we traveled all the way from Waldoboro to come get. It takes us 20 minutes to drive there alone. We took the food home, and when we got back we were missing an entire Pupu for 3, a gi poo lomain, and a orange chicken. They made us bring back everything else to get what was replaced. They said they would make everything fresh, and instead they sent us back with everything we had just brought back that at this point was over an hour old. Which we didn't realize because it had taken them an extra 35 minutes to "make" it. We bring it home again and they say the only thing they can do (in terms of a refund) would be if we were to bring back the food a second time. And hung up on my aunt...
