LUCKY TEA CAFE – A 5-STAR CULINARY HAVEN
I'm a 24-year-old guy who works hard, grinds all day, and occasionally splurges on a killer takeout. While there’s the killer that tucks you in for beddy bye, there’s also the caliber that elevates your present and future with pure fuel. Lucky Tea Cafe in Grand Haven has quickly become my go-to spot, combining comfort and taste with humble artisans driving top-notch culinary flair.
A MEMORABLE INTRODUCTION == I was first introduced to this hidden gem in 2021 by a close friend and his family during an almost private family sit-down. That night, I learned the secret: when you order their fan-favorite Chicken Hibachi, you MUST go all in.
THE SECRET IS IN THE SAUCE == The real magic is in the yum-yum sauce. If you're serious about your Hibachi order, double (or even triple) the yum-yum. Mixed with tender chicken (steak alt), my choice of fried rice (over noodles), and fresh veggies, it's a flavor explosion that could fill even the yugest wrestler of GHHS’s day, kid you not an absolute unit of man (albeit bro never get full, put a smile on his face, and mine).
WHOLESOME SUSHI & MORE == Lucky Tea evolved into my go-to not just for hearty hibachi but also for their exceptional Lucky Sushi special rolls – always fresh to order, never dry. For about $20, you get two special rolls, a comforting mizu (or mushroom) soup, and a crisp side salad with a zesty ginger-orange dressing.
LATE-NIGHT COMFORTS == A true local blessing: Lucky Tea is open until 10 PM. Whether it's a post-work splurge or a spontaneous late-night craving, they're always ready.
FINAL THOUGHTS == For a hardworking 24-year-old who values real quality and a bit of indulgence, Lucky Tea Cafe perfectly blends comfort with culinary excellence. Remember, when it comes to Chicken Hibachi, don't hold back on that extra yum-yum. Inspired my gangster to add a wok to his kitchen arsenal😂💯Five...
Read moreMy husband and I ate dinner here for the first time on Friday. It's a cute, clean place with great service! They offer beer, wine and sake (no liquor). We got the hot sake and it was very smooth and tasty. I got the rainbow roll, with some modifications because I prefer yellowtail and red snapper. They were happy to modify...on some dishes, which is great for a finicky eater like me. My husband got the three spicy mini rolls entree (I can't remember the name). There were 18 of them with 3 different kinds of seafood. I tasted them and they were delicious and not spicy. These rolls were different because instead of a raw piece of fish being on top or in the middle, it was blended together with other ingredients, like a paste-type consistency. My modified rainbow roll was fantastic! The prices are VERY reasonable, the food was delicious and the service was great! We had 2 sake's and two meals and the total was $42-ish dollars. ...
Read moreI just recently moved to Grand Haven from Grand Rapids. Though I'm glad to have a sushi spot nearby (because I could eat sushi everyday!) this spot, in my opinion, is just okay. The rolls were not rolled tight enough and they use very little rice in the roll, of which is not well packed. I wanted to try something I've never had anywhere and got the fillet mignon roll... tasted fine but was so sloppily put together... and I kind of have high standards with presentation. I also had the sweet potato roll and the sweet potato hadn't been cooked all the way. Everything tasted fine and it helped satisfy my craving for sushi, but it just wasn't "good sushi" in my opinion. I feel like for the GH area it's "good" because it's not like this area is foodie capital or anything, so there's not a lot to compare it to. However if I want good quality sushi that tastes and looks great, I'll just plan to make the hike out to...
