I found this hole in the wall randomly as I was trying to find a quiet place to meet with a girlfriend. The two coffee shop diners were closed, despite being listed as open. The hole in the wall, dimly lit coffee shop next door was blasting loud heavy metal and so Lucky Dragon was my only option. As an Asian, I normally avoid places like these without a true Chinese restaurant named. That said, the customer service was amazing. I was immediately welcomed by an elderly grandfather type and then served by an older woman (I'm assuming - likely inappropriately - the wife and chef!). She had amazing customer service and the owners are SO sweet and kind. I asked for recommendations and went with hers - fried tofu (SO GOOD!) and the beef chow fun. I never normally go to places like this but will definitely be back! And that's coming from an Asian!

THE SPICY CHICKEN WINGS ARE WORTH THE VISIT! I ordered to-go. I drove 5 minutes away and the food was still almost too hot to eat! It was amazing how fast they served me. Sesame chicken was crunchy which I prefer but it is hard to come by. It did lack some flavor though.

Highly recommend this place, have ordered takeout several times and always happy with my meal. Had this message on my sesame chicken - box was loaded with food. Never gotten extra food for free from a restaurant!

I had the shrimp pho and the cream cheese wontons and the food was very good. I was greeted by a kind lady and really enjoyed my experience.
