    First time trying out Lucky start. The food, service, and atmosphere were great. A quick note, if they ask was size do you want, say small. Because if you say large, you better be really hungry, buying for two or feeding a family. You will get your money's worth. You will get more than what you pay for. As you can see from the pictures I have taken. I got large on everything.

    Pretty good Chinese food on the go. The Generals chicken was really crispy.

    For more than a decade, this has been our personal favorite choice for budget friendly Chinese food! Went in on a whim today (a very low blood sugar one) and nabbed a honey chicken lunch special with wonton soup. So good⁉ I'm a sucker for crispy chicken or tofu anything - but this hits. Savory, sweet and umami bruh. These folks deserve mad respect.

    Food is authentic. Large portion and fair price. A Buffalo Uni alumni waited on us, who was really friendly and efficient. All these experiences deserve a 5-star rating.

    Went there recently and tried their General Tso chicken. We replaced the white rice with chicken fried rice for extra $3. The food was really good and the quantity was enough for two people. It’s worth the price. The staff were friendly and welcoming too. If you crave for some Chinese food when you’re here, try this place!!

    We visited Lucky star when we were recently in Watkins Glen. We ordered the orange chicken meal (with fried rice and egg roll) and the vegetable Singapore noodles. The orange chicken was too tangy for my liking but the other dish was good. Portion sizes are very big and are good value for what you pay.
