Lucky Time — Restaurant in Springfield

Might be my new number 2 favorite Chinese place in SGF. Number one on this side of town at least. Don’t hate me Cashew Station, you still hold down the south side.

Lucky time is amazing. We finally got a chance to get take out from there and I don’t regret it. I got Orange Chicken because it’s either really good or really bad at most places. Let me tell you it was the best Orange Chicken I’ve ever had. Tasted VERY fresh with the orange, not just some dollar store orange juice. Oh and it was spicy. That was honestly a nice change of pace. Next time I’m going to have to get some General and check out that heat.

My wife got Chicken Fried Rice and it was 3 meals worth. Nice balance of chicken to rice and no random chunks of onion like some others in town. It was the perfect texture, color and taste.

The only thing that made me a bit disappointed was the Crab Rangoon. They left a lot to be desired with taste and inside consistency. Especially considering how flavorful the rest of our meal was. I’m going to chalk it up to a bad day and hope they’re better next time. Because let’s be honest, we will be back!

I wish they were able to have a drive thru, but I obviously get that’s not possible at...

Where do I start? We are from out of town and ordered some food for pick up. My boyfriend went to get it, brought it back and the four of us opened our meals, so excited for chinese food. All four of us were in complete disgust. The chicken was old and coated in horrible sauce with no vegetables. The rice resembled mexican rice however it has ZERO flavor. The worst part of the meal... the wontons literally just had a small piece of what looked like dog poop in them. We brought the food back for a refund and as long as they refunded, I wasn't going to leave a bad review. However upon returning and asking for a refund they preceeded to yell at us and told us never to come back. Trust us. WE WILL NEVER BE BACK! I've never seen such horrible food, I have never returned food and I have never been spoken to like that from a business owner. SHAMEFUL! Save yourself the hassle, and go to another place that serves good food with...

I really wanted to like this place since it has great reviews, but that just wasn't the case. I got the cashew chicken combo, with rice an egg roll and two crab rangoons. The rice was awful, I've never disliked rice with a chinese food dish, but this was terrible. It didn't taste like your regular "american chinese" rice that you normally get. It tasted steamed in like, chicken broth, maybe? I'm not sure, but it tasted off and just didn't go well with the dish. The chicken was nicely fried, but the sauce, again, was lacking that familiar cashew sauce flavor. It was different, but not a good different. The one thing I loved was the crab rangoons. They were probably in my top 3 of favorite crab rangoons, great flavor! Unfortunately, I probably won't be back to try other things, even with the delicious crab rangoons. Just...
