Reviews of Lucky Star restaurant LTD (Restaurant)

Laurie Chen

Friendly

Will Liamson

I never eat from the buffets anymore due to the same prepackaged fare that every other Chinese place stocks up on (usually from the same truck) so I order only the items that aren't deep fried. YOU WILL LOVE THEM. They are really good, especially if you order take out as they really make sure you get the value for your dollar. Very fresh veggies, wonderful spicy dishes and the noodles are great. It's cheaper to pick your own take out up since they use a courier service for delivery at $7/ order and it has to be over $40 before they'll get the delivery service. Again, don't order things like chicken balls or other deep fried stuff as it is all from packages and tastes the same as everywhere else. People are terrific, friendly and accommodating.

Great value! Good food!

Derek Zilcosky

Best american-chineese food in town hands down, however extremely over priced. I'd love to see them adopt a more competitive buisness practice instead of gouging their customers.

(Translated) I came to this town on a business trip and found a great Chinese restaurant: Lucky Star! Today I ordered half a roast duck, Sichuan beef, signature vegetables, and Thai fried rice. Fresh ingredients, authentic taste, great appetite! Unexpectedly, the amount is huge! The service is also very satisfactory! Come to Cranbrook, BC, don't miss it.

Slim pickings for Chinese food in Cranbrook right now with other places closing and burning down. We ordered for take out, food took longer than they said but it was worth it. We got 6 different dishes, and we enjoyed it all. Not the best Chinese food I have eaten but I will eat there again.

Melanie Sam

So great. Friendly.

John Shores

Ok. Nice people.

Mike Briggs

Good food. Decent selection if you go at the right time. Super friendly service.

Miss Sue

Ordered take out from a very polite lady at the restaurant and it was delivered in under 30 minutes. The food was hot, well packaged, fresh, portion sizes were huge, didn't cost us a fortune and was also really good. We quite enjoyed it! Would definitely order take out from them again the next time we are in town.

John BanQuan

Pricey but great food

Holly Daniels

Very clean and staff was friendly. I ordered chicken fried rice and it was very good! Had leftovers for lunch next day. Prices are fair. Didn’t care for buffet but it wasn’t busy the day we were there. I found too much deep fried. Fresh veggies were great! I will definitely be going back for more of the menu items.

Greg Hilton

Amazing food!

Philippe Lurol

A lucky thing my woman took me here while we were out. The gem of a restaurant has surprised me in the best kind of way. First of all the service is amazing. I personally felt very welcomed and the staff genuinely appeared to want us there (which can be harder to find these days). The food was beyond my expectations, fresh and very flavorful. The flavors indeed tasted like the food was actually prepared and not just poured out of a jar. Most importantly to me, the food did not taste the same as most Chinese food restaurants, the ginger beef for instance actually tasted like it was made with fresh ginger. The meat was not full of grit or fat, and in my opinion, the ingredients were of superior quality. The price was more then reasonable, especially with the quality of food and service. The decoration was also quaint and the overall experience was a very enjoyable one. I will return to what I consider hands down the best Asian cuisine in Cranbrook.

Kevin Krahn

Horrible experience. Buffet food was old and was charged 8 dollars for about a half cup of rice.....

Matt Holzman

Always a good experience. Fast and friendly service. Good food. Grab a Tsingtao while you wait for your to go order, and it will be ready by the time you finish it.

Chris Lavery

Cozy little place to have lunch. Food was good and service was friendly

Vaughn Simmons

Colton Loberg

Naomi Sorensen

We went between 4:30 - 5, which is a great time because the food was fresh. Found it very good and the staff very friendly.

Tyler Fiorentino

Great please to have a smorgasbord of Chinese food!

Wayne Bates (Twiztad2bent)

A challenge to access as a quadriplegic, but certainly worth the effort! Extremely high quality food, very attentive and helpful staff, and huge portions! A wonderful example of how a family run restaurant can provide the best!

David Dubauskas

Fantastic server, she rocked! Food was mediocre.

Daniel David

Good food and welcoming staff. Excellent service!

Sarah Willsford

Best Chinese food I've ever had. The people are very friendly, and more than happy to help. Prices are fair, looking at the amount of food you get. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves Chinese food!

OREL MONTGRAND

Was good

Amanda R

Food is wonderful and hot!

Reginald Goldsbury

Support these guys'. They are great.

Nick Johnson (Tweetsies)

I'm not even sure that my food was edible. The rice was hard and the "pork" was a weird grey colour with a jelly-esque texture. I had a good experience here when I was going to Baker, almost 5 years ago. But now the only thing the Lucky Star has going for it is the nice Chinese lady that barely spoke enough English to take my order.

Yogesh Kumar

Awesome sweet nd sour pork. Nd Nyc staff.

Ruse V

Basically the only place to get good Chinese

Dayna Jones

honestly not the best. the ginger beef i had, had bones or something crunchy in it, the noodles were over cooked and the server we had was very rude. dont think im gonna be going back here

Deepak Rana

Delicious food. Everyone should try ????

Evelyn Evans

Placed order just after they opened, so I wouldn’t have expected my food to have been this bad. We got it home and the ginger beef was very over cooked and almost hard, the dry ribs were burnt on the ends and the noodles were so over done that it was like eating mush. When we called the restaurant back to tell them, the person who answered could only say “and what would you like me to do about it?” Ummm we just wanted to let you know so you could let the kitchen know. We weren’t looking for anything in return except to provide feed back. Normally we like to give second chances to places but I’m so very turned off with the food and service I doubt a second will happen. Save your money because it’s not worth what they are charging.

Jim Kennedy Sr.

Terrible Chinese food worst we have ever had!

Tilak Murti

Great customer service

Dave Miller

Outstanding. Staff is so friendly, it always feels like eating at home.

Steven Plaskett

$45 for two adults and one child with drinks and the buffet was never full of food so your choices were limited to 4 items with the rest being empty. Not equipped for even a moderately busy night to cook enough food. Better order off the menu so u can get something u want to eat.

nicole swanson

Jamie Thomas

Daan Vissers (Afrodestinyfan)

We were arriving at the place after eight o'clock and it would close at half past eight. They still let us in and let us order the food. The waitress, Aiko, was still very polite and friendly. The food was really good as well. Great Chinese food!

Roonie

lisa

Linda Naso

We ordered close to $100 of takeout last night and extremely disappointed. The food was tasteless and greasy. The ginger beef was so dry we couldn't eat it. In the past we were happy with their food but we won't be going back again.

Cara Conroy-Lau

Updated review 2020: the new owners are nice and have an even better selection in the buffet. Good quality food. And, they actually have authentic Chinese special dishes that aren’t on the menu- including BBQ duck! Original review 2019: enjoy the food - especially because they don't add MSG. That's a huge plus! Its a real family business, nice people.

Kimberly Fryk

My mom and I were looking for Chinese food and this restaurant was off the beaten path with no vehicles outside. We were questioning going in but decided it was worth a try. Glad we did!! Fresh and delicious food! They have “make your own combos” so you get to decide what you want without any hassle. Friendly staff and turned out that people were continuously coming in and out for take out, so it is a popular joint and rightfully so!

Dee

New Owners I think, I was impressed, huge portions delicious ginger beef, sweet and sour pork and black bean broccoli.

Varun Antony

Rachel and the food was amazing.

Oliver M

DAVID ALGUIRE

I enjoyed the food. Good for take out.

Cheryl Mcmahon

Always fresh and a great variety of food choices

Alana OConnor

New to town from the lower mainland and have eaten Chinese style food at many locations. Everyone has different opinions and in my humble one, this is some of the best I've eaten. The call in was nice, lady was super friendly and we chatted house prices, etc. Delivery was fast, food was hot. The food was all very fresh and the seasoning perfect, just enough so you could still taste the actual food. I've eaten in Vancouver's Chinatown alot and enjoy a more authentic flavor and it was totally there. Huge portions too. This will be my go-to for sure. Thanks Lucky Star! Alana????

RED BEARD

It was good service was good food was good!

Jaime Macdonald

Great food and service But buffet was understocked even though we had s table reserved for 8

Fred Butler

Just ordered from here - Really disappointed. In town for an early morning medical procedure. Daughter and I craving Chinese food. Gluey chicken balls, passable ginger beef, tough to mess up steamed rice - no soya sauce. Egg rolls? If you say so. The garbage is well fed. Gaaak.....

Robin Chester

Nice buffet

Daniel Gratz

Wor Wonton was great! Big portions too.

Nathalie Allard

Absolutely love it! Really fresh, huge portions, and great service. They're even open on Monday's for lunch!!!!???? ???? ???? ???? ????????????????❤

Will Grant

The worst food I ever had

Dean Edmonton

Very good small town Canadianised Chinese food. Huge portions, 3 plates would feed 4 regular eaters. We had the special fried rice, lots of chicken and shrimp, beef with mixed veg and Kung Pow chicken, a little spicy with lots of flavour. Excellent service and that old time Chinese restaurant vibe. Would definitely stop here again on our way through. Cranbrook is one of our favourite overnight spots as it has lots of great restaurants and the wonderful Elizabeth Lake Lodge.

Jeff Walker

I got delivery. The dinner for one combo C was enough for three people. The food was good. I’d eat here again.

Brad Cunningham

Lucky Star you guys are the best. We order a certain dish and you were out but went out and got what you needed to make our order! Thank you so much! Your food is the best...always fresh...thank you????

Debra Waterer

No sit down just takeout

Connie Jones

Tried for first time. Good for some. But wasn't for me

Day R

I ordered from here last summer. Let’s start with the outrageous delivery fee to drive 7 minutes. We decided to pick up instead. Once back at our hotel, we realized the horrible error we had made. The deep fried shrimp were old. Like dry, crusty could barley bite into the batter old. The noddles were just that -noodles. Almost no vegetables or protein. It was empty when we went to pick up and we came in the time frame they told us so I believe the food had been sitting around much longer than our order.

Vicki Zietsoff

Very good wish they had egg fu yung

trevor belanger

LENNY Wiebe

Best Chicken Broccoli I have ever had. Vegetables were tender crisp not over cooked, great flavor and generous portions. Staff were very friendly and pleasant, I would recommend to everyone.

shae rivard

i went here a year ago and asked them if they could make me congee. it was a very slow time of day, the family was so nice they told me if i called ahead i could order it. the best authentic chinese food in the valley. (im not sure if they still do that though)

d stupa

Bland, greasy food that you would feed to your dogs for left overs. I use to go here most weekends 2014-2018 not anymore I tried here twice in the last month both times an epic fail.

Chris N

Just started going here after new owners took over, very fresh and tasty food. They are Open more then other places in town which is nice The service is excellent with a polite and happy vibe. I recommend the Wor Won-ton Soup

John. Rowley

Really great value on spend

Josh Margison

Close to home good Chinese food

Kennedy Bierback

Ordered a 3 item meal for myself... 13.95$ on the menu, go to pick it up to get charged $18.95. Get home open it up and it’s completely wrong, shrimp all over is while I’m allergic. Called and asked, got talked to quite ignorantly and told it’s my fault then hung up on. Called back and asked for the owner to hopefully get my 18.95 back since I can’t even touch it... hung up on again!

stuligin

Good Chinese food.

Glen Gooding

Made a order refused to deliver wasn't over 48 dollars

Jacob lawtry

Good food nice staff, when I ordered the sweet and sour chicken balls they were missing the sweet and sour sauce... kinda disappointing.

Brent Dawe

Absolutely the worst inedible Chinese experience of my entire life.
