Lucky Wok Chinese Cafe

My husband and I were craving Chinese food and since we hadn’t tried out Lucky Wok yet, we decided to give it a try. Now you’d think with all of the competition around, especially with a place across the street, that they would step their game up a little. We ordered soup and two combo meals of General Chicken + Sweet & Sour Chicken. The soup was too thick and tasted off. I couldn’t finish it. Each meal comes with an egg roll and «fried» rice. The egg roll was good but I don’t think that a ball of goopy yellow rice qualifies for fried rice. At least not any I’ve ever experienced. I had four pieces of plain battered chicken and a container of their sweet and sour sauce. The sauce tasted like it’d been sitting in a jar in the back of the fridge for weeks and had the consistency of gelatin. I had to take my 4 pieces and dip them. The chicken tasted freezer burnt. The General Chicken wasn’t too bad but it was also goopy and tasted like old dark chicken. So obviously, with the competition around, I won’t be returning.

The fried rice is not like any fried rice over ever had. It’s yellow and like a sticky flavorless ball. Very weird. The shrimp in my meal was not deveined or purged, gross. The Singapore noodles were ok, not a lot of flavor, not at all spicy. The broccoli shrimp tasted burned.

The price is great on everything at this place. My favorite is the pork and green beans. It usually comes with white or fried rice but I always substitute that for the mixed veggies. The little baby corn in the mixed veggies is my favorite. The cabbage in that mixed veggies is pretty tasty too.
My kids love the Sweet and sour chicken, it’s like they can’t get enough of it. They also really enjoy the egg rolls. I find the lo mien kind of bland but my kids dont seem to mind.
The wait has never been very long, I don’t think I’ve waited more than five minutes for my lunch or dinner. This spot is very convenient for me as well. It’s easy to get in and out of which is a plus with two hungry little kids!

Fast food place.
Nothing fancy (used to be a Long John Silvers from the looks of it), but the food was decent, cheap, plentiful, and the employees are quite friendly.
We’re happy with our decision to stop here while visiting the space center.

I live close by and go for their soups 4 – 5 times a week best I have ever had egg drop, hot and sour and my very favorite is the vegetable medley generous portions and made fresh to order!!!

This experience was subpar. The food wasn’t fresh and didn’t taste right. I couldn’t even eat the steamed dumplings. I was highly disappointed.

Got take out for tonight because hubby saw this place today and started craving Chinese food — it’s been a long time. We are new to the area so this was our first time eating food from Lucky Wok. We ordered 4 meals for 2 adults and 2 teenagers — 2 C11s, 1 C12, 1 special request combo dish of Shrimp Lo Mein. Way too much food! We have enough left over for lunch tomorrow! Everything was delish — the fried rice is different then we are used to but it was good. And on top of that the lady working was so nice to my husband, I can tell he’ll be a loyal patron.

Don’t let the exterior sway you. Very good flavors, nice portion sizes, and service was great. We had the Jalapeño Chicken, Kung Pao Shrimp, the Happy Family, with an order of spring rolls. Left feeling satisfied but not ‘full’. Only minor issue was the Spring rolls could have been cooked a little longer

Pretty good for the price, nothing fancy. Ordinary Chinese fare, with a drive thru which is nice. If you’re low on cash and want a decent bite, you can’t go wrong here.

I tried to order General Tso’s white meat, but they only serve dark meat. Then I asked about sesame chicken — same thing, only dark meat. The woman working there told me that the dishes are pre-​made two days prior, frozen & then delivered to the restaurant. Gross!
I was starving, so instead of leaving I ordered beef fried rice. Mediocre at best. I won’t be going back.

We LOVE Lucky Wok! Amazing quick food, perfect for a last minute meal or pick up for movie night. We also enjoy eating there and talking with the super friendly staff.

It was okay.
While it didn’t wow me it was prepared pretty well and it was a good price. I’d go back and try something different to see if they have a stronger meal dish elsewhere on the menu to improve my impression.
Friendly service and the potential for a drive-​thru pickup window is a strong plus to this place.

This place is GREAT! Our family of 5 ate more than we should have (even our 8 year old, who is the pickiest eater I know)! The portions were huge! The food was served very hot and everything was fresh and delicious. This restaurant was WAY better than I expected considering the location and price! Great find!

Thought the food was fantastic. The price couldn’t be beaten and everyone I take there is very happy with quality and service. I only wish they had more locations nearer to the Galveston area, They would make a killing!

«Get lucky tonight» should be their slogan, because this lil place gives you a lot of food for a low price. It’s the usual Chinese/​Asian fare you all know and eat a ton of– and that’s okay. Lucky Wok is a rare independent café that delivers consistently good food, good service and has a fast drive thru as well.

My husband and I decided to try this place after ignoring it for a long time. My sister had tried it based on her coworker’s great review, and she said the food was pretty good. So we tried it for a lunch takeout on a Saturday. Tried the drive-​thru first since we saw another car there. But nobody came out after waiting a few minutes, so we decided to park and I went in to get the food.
The place was bigger inside than it looks from outside. There were a couple of guys sitting there by themselves, comfortably reading books/​tablets while eating lunch. I could imagine coming here to eat lunch myself on a work day.
We ordered General Chicken for my husband, which he later said was the best General Chicken he had ever had in Clear Lake area, and I ordered a $ 3.49 vegetable fried rice, which turned out HUGE and gave me at least three meals (I don’t eat big meals, but I don’t eat that little either). It was definitely a nice surprise, and we will surely come back to try other things.

So I have been really craving Chinese food lately and this place came up in the discussion. We have been meaning to try it and today after a movie seemed like the perfect time!
We drove up about 1:00 pm on a Sunday and the place looked closed. Not a good sign. But we must have had the same idea as a few others because as soon as we parked, two cars pulled in and 5 – 6 people walked in. Ok, so it’s not closed. I guess that’s good? I still was a little leery.
We walked in and it’s order at the counter and then pick a seat. They have a big, easy to read menu board (old eyes you know), plus paper menus set out on the counter. The girl that took our order was super sweet and really helpful. We ordered our lunch and then decided to try the spring rolls and she made sure we understood these were the fried kind, not the clear Vietnamese kind, which was perfect.
We both ordered the Combination Plates C16, which is General Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Fried Rice and an Egg Roll. All for $ 6.39! Cheaper than a lot of fast food combos and a LOT more food! Seriously a LOT of food! I shared some of mine with hubby and he still has plenty of leftovers for his lunch tomorrow! Everything was hot and fresh and really delicious! I didn’t think the General Chicken was very spicy, like advertised but it had a really nice flavor and huge chunks of white meat chicken. And the spring rolls? Oh man these were some of the best spring rolls I’ve had in a long while! Fresh and delicious and not at all greasy or oily (neither was the egg roll). I had one and let hubby have the other three… not because they weren’t good but because I already was getting full!
We asked for hot mustard and she must have just mixed it up as she brought it out in two separate bowls. It wasn’t really spicy but tasted like she had just mixed it up. Great flavor though and a nice compliment to the spring rolls and egg rolls.
All in all, I was super pleased with the service and the food! The place was clean, and we paid $ 16 for basically three meals (lunch for me once and lunch twice for hubby). Plus it was hot and fresh and extremely delicious and served with a smile? You don’t get that with fast food! This may have been a fast food place before and the food come out pretty fast, but it’s so much more than that! I can definitely see stopping by here for a to-​go order on the way home from a busy day at work.

It was alright. Service was good, and it was a clean restaurant. I wouldn’t go as far as saying it was the best but it was a decent place.

I guess you get what you pay for. The food was plenty, but the quality was not there. I ordered the Vegetable Delight, which I often order since I am a vegetarian. I usually get a nice assortment of Chinese veggies. Not the case here. The order was mostly cabbage. There were some carrots, zucchini, broccoli, a few tiny pieces of corn, mushroom two pieces of water chestnut. The spring roll tasted stale. My husband ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken /​Beef Lo Mein combo meal. He said it was just ok. The egg roll was oily and not crisp.
We will not being going back to this restaurant.

The Lucky Wok Chinese Café is located in an old Long John Silver location that has been completely remodeled, so it’s very clean. The counter staff was friendly and had very good communication skills. The menu is standard Chinese food. The price was very reasonable and compared well to other establishments of this type. I ordered the Hunan Beef platter, the portion was large. The food was hot and well made. I would recommend without hesitation as it’s a good value for the money. The place does lack atmosphere but at this price point it is to be expected. Great food at a great price right now. Just hope the owners take care of the place and keep it spotless as it is now and it will do well for the long haul.
