Really good egg rolls. Every time I have been here the fried foods taste better than other places. It doesn’t have that “old oil” taste, I think they change their oil more often, and it shows in a good way. The food has been good every time and I would highly recommend.
I ordered lobster fried rice. There’s literally 1 little piece of lobster and the rest is just rice. So I basically paid $10 for fried rice. And the egg roll burned my lip and chin. My first time trying this place, and the last.
BEST Chinese food I have ever had. It’s always hot, fresh, and the chicken is always crispy. The staff is super sweet! Prices rock, too! You won’t be disappointed!!!
Dont get any breaded chicken its extremely oily /mushy with a jello type sauce I couldnt even stomach it
I order delivery from them for past five years if you want food they will give it to you even if you cant afford everything thats how long Ive known them. they have good service for sure praise Jesus in gods name, amen. thankyou
Excellent food. Quick and tasty. We will be going back.
I have been a customer of this restaurant for years and it has been very good. However, within the last couple of years, I have not gotten what I ordered and I order pretty much the same items. I have had two orders of Mu Shu lately and it did not have pork as I requested, but looked like beef instead. The meat in the Mu Shu was flavored like beef and texture more like swiss steak. The pork is sliced and has the BBQ coating on the outside, this was no where close. The Won Ton soup used to be the best in the area, light delicate broth. It is now like yellow salt water. Very disappointed.
Our food was very good and fresh. Service was friendly and quick. Portions were generous and price was great. Our General chicken was made of white meat that was cooked perfectly, not dry and hard. We will be ordering from Lucky House again soon.
Great food, great family running the business. However, they are notorious for telling you short wait times when it could easily be double. If they just gave realistic wait times I would give them 5 stars but when I wait almost 2 hours for food that they told me would be a half hour it lowers my rating.
Vegetable rolls and vegetable egg food young were drenched with oil, every time I ordered, it wasnt like a one off situation. Vegetable rice super bland.Broccoli with garlic sauce is good.Singapore noodles are good.General Tsos tofu is good half the time and tastes like plastic the other half the time.Whenever you call to order food she will ask you if you want to order other dishes you used to order, which is annoying then you feel pressured and irritated every single time you order, to order more.Wait times stink, 50% of the time you will be waiting double the time stated.
Possibly some of the best Chinese food Ive had. I feel like their chicken is breaded with their own recipe and everything they use is high quality. Portions are stuffed to the brim enough for 2 meals. Their prices are comparable to others in the area. Everyone is friendly although it can be a little hard to understand them at times. Only downside is that their seating is limited to 3 tables.
All their food is so yummy!! 10/10. Only place I will go ❤️ I’ve been coming since a little kid and I love them they’re so kind and lovely people!
Wanting Chinese food, I came here relying solely upon Google reviews. I was not disappointed! I ordered shrimp with garlic sauce and my wife had chicken lo mein. Our meals were made quickly and were hot and fresh when brought to the table. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Based on this experience, I will defiantly give them another try when Im in the area again.
I ordered kung Pao Chicken, and I was disappointed by what I got. The dish was full of celeries and carrots,and it was distasteful!!! I wont go there again.
I give this place three stars because the chicken fried rice was better than other local Chinese food take out. The sweet and sour chicken was what you would expect from an average China takeout. The Mongolian beef was mostly packed with onions and very little (and I mean little) beef. But the flavor was great. Prices were cheap but it was nothing more than your average Chinese take-out.
How was Luckys House...Well, Google, its difficult to say as this is the second time Ive had to cancel my order due to the order/pickup time online being over an hour off. I should say AT LEAST an hour plus off, because when I cancelled at the 90-minute mark (after being told 25), they had yet to touch my order - to say nothing of the tickets still ahead of me.I get that things are off right now - but they need to speak to whoever is setting their default prep/pickup times. There has to be a way to set a reasonable expectation here.Ridiculous.
Do not use their online ordering option! I used to stop in to this restaurant and take-out all the time, but tonight I placed an online order, their website states a 30-60 minute delivery window - seemed reasonable. An hour and ten minutes later I was still waiting on my delivery. When I called to check the status, the woman said it would be another 25 minutes. 40 minutes later (almost 2 hours after original order time) I called back and the same woman said it would be another 8 minutes. I expressed how upset I was with this experience, but as I was speaking I overheard her ignoring me and speaking to another customer while I was on the phone. So I hung up. She called me back a minute later and said the food hadnt left yet, so if I wanted to cancel the order, I could.... thats just what I did. I work in the customer service industry, therefore I understand what it means to take care of your customer. This experience was completely unacceptable... I will never order from this restaurant again.
Hands down the worst Chinese food I have ever had. We ordered a variety of things and none of it was good. Chicken was soggy, tasted undercooked and was pink on the inside. Egg drop soup tasted old and burnt. Egg rolls were dry and chewy.I highly recommend going somewhere else!
I get Lucky House delivered to my work a lot. I absolutely love it! I have been to many of the Chinese restaurants around East Lansing and Okemos, but honestly, Lucky House is the most dependable, tasty, and affordable place Ive found. If I could give it more that 5 star I would.
I used to order pretty regularly, and got a little frustrated with a dish or two missing, or getting less or more of this or that (less egg rolls but more rice for example). I took a break from ordering because I got tired of the order being incorrect or taking a ridiculous amount of time to receive (two hours on one occasion when we live 8 miles away). Tonight my husband and I ordered in hope of having leftovers. When I spend $50 on food, I like it to be decent. Tonight our order was wrong, which was okay I guess, what wasnt okay and is not going to be okay, is finding copious amounts of hair in my broccoli chicken! It was literally wrapped around the broccoli stalks, and since I didnt stir the dish, I cannot consider it to have come from my home at all. My hair is also braided back this evening, and the strand is black.I highly recommend taking the time to order Panera, Dominos, Hungry Howies, or going to the Asian Buffet.
Food is amazing, delicious and hot!
Ordered Kung Pao (I asked for EXTRA SPICY) and some spring rolls. The Kung Pao is awesome here, great sauce not to thick, just the right viscosity. The spring rolls were delicious and I had enough sauce from my dish to dip them in witch is exactly what I want. First time trying the place but definitely not my last!
Had food today. Dont like to complain. Rarely do but spent 30 dollars and ate just a couple bites total. Tasted soggy and the hot and sour soup was the grossest ive tasted. I dont like to complain but it was gross.
They’ve a very good food and fair price but the preparation time until it gets ready is so long,I could’ve give them 5 stars but they need to figure out that issue.
They are wonderful! Very friendly, they delivered a large work party order for us! Got everything right, we’re friendly, food was very hot and fresh! Will order again from them!! Pretty good!!
I ordered General Tso Chicken and instead of Chicken I got tofu. I spent damn near $40.00 and this will be the last time I order from you.
Good food and best hot and sour soup. Good prices also.
We had the best steaks here tonight!! Nothing in lansing has ever came this close to Hersheys that closed down years ago. This is definitely our new favorite restaurant. Amazing service, amazing food!!!!!
The best take-out in the Okemos/Haslett/East Lansing area for sure. All your favorites, large portions, good quality, decent prices for the quality and the portions. Their fried dishes can sometimes be a bit overcooked (Sesame/Tsos/Orange chickens) but their stir-fried dishes like szeshuan and kung pao are always great. So is their sweet & sour chicken and shrimp if you need a fix of that sort of thing.My favorite is their Hunan chicken, which is a stir fry with lotus root, carrot, celery, mushroom, onion, and those fermented black bean type things that are amazing. A little licoricy and garlicky with just the right kick. My wife likes the garlic broccoli and veggie lo-mein. Their steamed dumplings are also fantastic. Spring rolls are the best of their egg roll, shrimp roll and spring roll options - although the shrimp roll is good too. Not a huge fan of the egg roll. A lot of people seem to order the fish dishes that are usually on special, but Ive never taken the dive.There are a couple tables in there - Ive only seen anyone eating there a couple times though.They also deliver for like $3 more, and its usually fast, but it can occasionally take way longer than it should. We usually do pick up anyway.Great place, and its been around a long time.
Originally from New Jersey, my husband and I have been looking for good classic Chinese food in the area for a long time. Weve found it with Lucky House. Dishes are reliably tasty, well-seasoned and full of a variety of fresh vegetables. Satisfies our craving.
Its always a treat to head down Grand River Avenue into Okemos; because I can already taste the luscious flavors of pork and green onions in the made to order steamed dumplings from the amazing hot menu at Lucky House!
I ordered food to be delivered paid with my debit card and they never delivered my food im a truck driver and had no way up their so they got one over on me so becareful ordering food here
My food came over a hour after ordering it and the guy tried walking away to keep my change for a tip. It was cold and I only live 1 minute from the resteraunt. This isnt the first time this has happened either! I thought the previous time was a fluke or mistake but its apparently just the business.
They brought wrong food refused to correct and hung up the phone. They were extremely rude we didn’t eat any of the tofu (we ordered chicken) and when we finally spoke to some one they said we called to late to fix it, (never heard of such a thing it had been 20 min) when we were trying to call them but they would just hang up.
They constantly short my meals that include shrimp and they never compensate for the mess up. This time, I called and was told that they put six shrimp in the combination meal, but meal came with four pieces.Bad Service
Ive ordered from Lucky House for a long time now and until now, despite the awful costumer service and the fact they are constantly late every time (by an hour and a half or so), I didnt see the point of complaining. However this time, after placing my order for General Tsos Tofu (which I know is a vegetarian dish as the lady on the phone told me many times before) I got my meal with pork fried rice. I have been a vegetarian for over 6 years for religious reasons and when I called Lucky House, distressed and thinking that the order must have gotten mixed up, she told me that the General Tsos Tofu comes with pork fried rice and an egg roll. This obviously is a new combo they are doing and I explained the situation and instead of her admitting the issue and apologizing (which I would have accepted and moved on) she tried to blame me. Instead of taking fault and having a new one delivered she demanded I come into the store and pick up a new one (which I cant due to the fact I dont own a car). After her continuing to insist the situation was my fault I told her I wouldnt be ordering anymore from them if this is how they handled their costumers. She then scoffed and HUNG UP ON ME. I have been a costumer since I moved to the area but I WILL NOT BE ORDERING AGAIN.
Just tried this place for the 1st time this past weekend! It was amazing! The portions are huge! We loved everything!
Since there are only three tables in this tiny place, its not a sit-down restaurant. Come here for the Chinese take-out. Portions are double of what a normal person can eat in one sitting, and the food is excellent. If you have a group of five, order three meals and split them or plan on leftovers for lunch.
Tofu portions were extremely gracious on our last visit. Always pleased with our dinner!
I love Lucky House! Great selection, serving sizes and reasonably priced. Wonderful way to have a relaxing night at home with the family.
I absolutely love this place!! Great food and made very quick..stays hot for a long time...its the only Chinese place I eat at!! Highly recommend!
Great food. Great people. Great prices. Always good.
We called in a large order on a Sunday evening. The service was great and the food equally delicious. Would recommend giving them a try anytime.
I love this family owned place. Theyre always so sweet and the food is good
Horrible service- very rude. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and chop suey. They had the order wrong. Plus my son and i had severe food poisoning. Never go to this place again. YUCK!
Food tastes great, prices are fair, service is quick, and the staff are very kind and helpful. We will be regulars here!
Food was good, service was terrible. Waited 45 minutes for our bill and it was wrong. Brought it to the managers attention. Manager apologized but did nothing else. Could of helped him out. Very poor rating on service and management.
Lucky house is the place to go for classic American Chinese cuisine. Fast delivery, made fresh. Easy to order your takeout.
Lucky House is one of the best chinese restaurants in Okemos. Only reason it is not 5/5 is the lack of seating; it semms to be more of a takeout restaurant than dine-in.
Great food- house special fried rice is awesome, along with their noodle dishes. Open late and always fresh tasting
Not a done in experience, but the best carry-out. Tastes great, generous portions, friendly staff!
Delicious menu, large portions, friendly service. 10/10 recommend
Friendly folks, great food (especially its fried rice) n unbeatable value. I always go here when in the neighborhood.
Ignored our phone calls would not fix our order because we called to late when I had food delivered to my work and didn’t look in the bag til 5mins later! Our other food was not all that I WILL NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN
I have been coming to Lucky House for years now. I love the food and the staff is awesome.

They have Great, Tasty food and Friendly, Fast Service with a smile... Good prices. Cant ask for more.
Good local food, and the combos are amazing value compared to pints.
Generous portions, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. The food was fantastic and ready quickly.
Good for take out. Its not really made for eating in. Food was good and what one would expect for a typical take out Chinese restaurant.
Love this place. Great food. Friendly staff. I recommend the Lo Mien but everything Ive tired is excellent
Great food! Sometimes a little bit of a wait if they get busy, but thats normal anywhere.
Always great food and more bang for your buck
That will be the last visit. Dissapointing
Great food for a decent price. Thank you!
Absolutely great food it was hot and fresh. Egg rolls are amazing
We are very happy with Lucky House. Good food, always hot and fresh. A favorite!!
Very friendly staff and huge portions! Food tasted great.
So far well past an hour and still waiting. For a Sunday evening, this seems ridiculous and at least warn people of the accurate wait time so they can decide if they want to wait.
The food here has always been good, and pretty reasonably priced.

2022-05-05The shrimp in my Shrimp with Garlic Sauce tasted disgusting. The rest of the dish is great, but if theyre going to use imitation shrimp, they should reveal that on their menu.

Review №5
2022-01-25Awesome take out Chinese place for the days when you don’t wanna go to the kitchen. LolMy kids love their food a lot. Their Lo mein, hot and sour soup and all the chicken curries are really good. Also if we want the dishes spicy they customize them. Really recommend their food for a quiet movie night at home or even a party at home👍🏼

2021-06-12The food is terrible. The general tsos taste nothing like general tso chicken. The vegetables are hardly cooked compared to what people are used to. I recommend MC World Buffet on west Saginaw highway.

2021-08-06Excellent chinese food. Everything weve ordered has been tasty. Takeout only, the wait has been reasonable. Seems to be family owned. Prices are reasonable as well. Cant say enough good things about Lucky House.
Review №10
2021-09-14Decent food and a lot of it. Incredible price for volume. They seem like great people too! They make everything to order so it helps to call ahead, but its worth it!
