Lucky House — Restaurant in Riverbank

Came here for the first time with a couple of friends. Was a very pleasant experience. We entered and we were greeted right away. We took some time looking over the menu and they were very patient and were ready to answer any questions we might have had. We ordered food to go and sat down at the tables to wait the 15 minutes it would take to make the fresh food. We were served a small plate of chicken to sample while we waited (we ended up swapping chicken we had ordered for the sample that was given us it was so good. We got our food a short while after we had finished our sample and we were very pleased with the portions they had given us. They did not short us at all, every food case was filled to the brim and even a bit more. Not only was it a nice amount of food, it was absolutely delicious.

I've been going there for 15 years.You'd think by now I'd remember they're closed on Mondays. But after a weekend of barbecuing I really want some Chinese food.

I recommend the asparagus and beef when it's in season and the deep...

Staff was friendly and helpful. Waiter refilled my glass every time it got about half empty. Place was generally clean. While there were plenty of tables and chairs, it felt more like a take-out restaurant because there were no booths. Maybe I'm more about ambiance than others, but I'd have had a little more Chinese decorations, maybe some Chinese music playing gently in the background, and maybe some potpourri or incense to cut the smell of seafood and such. There is a large TV that had Formula 1 or similar race playing and some empty cardboard sitting near the counter. Because of this, it is a great place to get food but maybe not a place you'd take a date.

PS: Spicy food is not mildly spiced like other local places. If you enjoy spicy, you'll love it, if not, ask them to tone it down; if you decide to order...
