Today, we're in Spring Valley my hometown visiting relatives for the holidays.
My son and I are in the process of visiting every Chinese restaurant in Chittenden County, VT. We always order the same thing.
I order a chicken and broccoli combo with pork fried rice and an egg roll. My son orders a sesame chicken combo with pork fried rice and beef teriyaki sticks.
Price: $22.75 or $.34/oz is consistent with the average price we would find in Northern Vermont.
Portion: 4.2 lbs between the two meals is average.
Pros: - High traffic convenient location just off Rt 59 in Spring Valley Yellow pork fried rice had subtle tasty flavor (We find that most Chinese restaurants serving yellow rice to be rather dry and flavorless) Tasty rice is a distinctive of this restaurant Large & tasty egg-roll with crispy shell A side of chicken teriyaki sticks (4) were of generous portion size and quite tasty They provided napkins and forks (albeit flimsy)
Cons: Cash only; They have an ATM inside (but who wants to pay an ATM fee if you're without cash) They don't offer beef teriyaki sticks They wouldn't allow us to swap an egg-roll appetizer for chicken teriyaki sticks. They're still using older, smaller microwavable takeout containers which many Chinese takeouts have transitioned away from. They didn't provide soy sauce packets, duck sauce packets, or fortune cookies. The windows haven't been washed in years Overall restaurant appearance seems unclean and a bit run down
Impression: Convenient location in the heart of Spring Valley offering average portion size with good food flavor but poor curb appeal, earning Lucky Foong's a 3.0...
Read moreI’ve ate lucky fong for years this is not a robot. I’m writing this because I’m truly upset and disappointed and something needs to change. lucky fong was always my favorite restaurant to go to since I was 7 or 8 I’m 20 now and I can confirm the service and quality of the food has had a major decline. The food went from must eat and must have to disappointments and sad faces sadly I cannot say at this point in time I’d recommend lucky fong to anyone else. I told alot of people about the restaurant and they loved the food but recently those same people feel the same I do about this restaurant. I hope they can bounce back from this period of time but if you read this and decide to waste your money it’s on you. An to lucky fong I hope you guys get it together I find it sad I can’t enjoy your...
Read moreI can say I truly appreciated my experience with this place, at first I did call in to ask if they accept card knowing how some smaller restaurants do not. Which is understandable. I thanked the man on the phone for that info. He gave me a courtesy call to inform me that there is an ATM in store. I thanked him again and told him I'd make my way there and figure it out. I was welcomed by an alert kind woman ready to take my order. I just want to extend my thanks for the customer service and good fresh tasting take out as per tonight's...
