Lucky Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in El Centro

Every town has a cherished Chinese restaurant that the locals love. Lucky Chinese Restaurant in El Centro is it. The positives about this place easily outweighs any negatives. Request for the stir fried green onions with lemon and salt as an appetizer and you'll understand why this place is like no other! The orange chicken, Lucky's chow mein, and hot and sour soup are all uniquely flavored and cooked with a Mexi-American Chinese fusion flair. The friendly, fast, and overall vibe of this place is what makes El Centro and Lucky's so great.

No, this place is not your typical Chinese restaurant....so don't even compare. It's an amazing establishment that's been in El Centro for over 30 years (with some of the waiters who have worked there for 20+ years).

I look forward to taking my family...

Generous portions of all your well-known dishes. We love the orange chicken and the crazy fried rice.

Take out orders are frequent here. Large open parking lot out front.

$5 minimum credit card charge. Beer...

How you make meat mushy is beyond me. I do not recommend this place to anyone (except maby pres. Obama. He deserves this place.) P.S. how do Mexicans know how to cook Chinese. . .Im not racist Just...
