  Its hard to find a good authentic caribbean chinese restaurant in south florida. We're "lucky" to have found Lucky City! We havent tried a wide variety of their menu because when we like something, we stick to it. Our favorites are their chinese chicken, curry chicken roti, char sui pork, chicken and corn soup, veggie fried rice and general tso's chicken. The decor could use an upgrade so dining in isnt high on my list, but the food is delicious! They even have a catering menu thats extremely reasonable! We've used them for several family gatherings!

  If you take the time to read this review, I think for most people that have visited a few times, it will hit close to home. I don't think this is a one time event, I truly think they are like this with everyone after speaking with a few other customers and just don't care. I just don't understand how this place is still in business! Over the years, I've tolerated with A LOT because they are just about the only option for Chinese-style Trini food in the area. I don't think I have ever received great service; 90% of it accept as just their personalities and 10% i put towards them having a bad day. I recently received the worse service ever from the owner, Ron.
  
  I called in to place an order...a very simple order, nothing customized. He answered "hello". I was so used to his wife Geeta answering that i wasn't sure if i called the correct number. I said "hi, is this lucky city?". He said "yes"...then dead air. No "yes, how may I help you, yes can I take your order", nothing. Whatever, moving on. I placed my order and all I got was an "OK". He didn't tell me how long, didn't repeat it, didn't tell me a price...nothing. After a few seconds if dead silence, I hung up.
  
  When I arrive at the restaurant to pick up my food, he's the only one in there. After being in the service industry before, I understand how it can be sometimes, but at the same time, with him being the owner, he should've done better. He rings up my order, all while going back and forth to his cell phone. The receipt prints and by that point, he's so into his phone he didn't even notice. I reached over and grabbed the receipt, said good night, and left.
  When I get to the car, I look at the receipt and see a 3.9% charge added onto my bill. It's a convenience charge for using a credit card! When I went back to ask about it, he rudely told me that he had it posted on the door. And it all made sense. He knows his customers will be outraged by this new fee, so he didn't make any attempt to get me my receipt. Soon enough, he'll probably set the register not to print detailed receipts.
  
  I have tolerated them enough over the years. If you are a frequent visitor, you'll know what I mean. They are just so...ugh. This is the first review i have ever written anywhere...and all because i received such poor service from a business owner...not just an employee.  As customers, we deserve better. I work too hard to give my money to a business that doesn't have any respect nor care to show you that they care for your business.  They feel they can do this because they know there's not many choices in the area, but either drive down to Hibiscus or Tropics, or find a recipe to make your own Chinese-style Trini food!!!
  
  And P.S...the food tasted like yesterday's leftovers...which is not even surprising. It has always been a hit or miss with them.

  It's not everyday where you can walk into a Chinese Restaurant and flip a switch and then order some Trinidadian Cuisine. Well guess what you're in Luck!(pun intended).
  
  One of the factors I grade quality of Chinese Food is the Pork Fried Rice. How does the pork look, is the rice the cheap yellow type or the brown old-school type. Guess what my good fellow Yelpanese clan... they serve the old-school browned Chinese fried rice here!
  
  I ordered Egg Foo Young, Pork Fried Rice, Egg Roll & Mixed Soup. I must say, I was very very happy with everything. This place is a MUST to come back. When I'm feeling for some comfort Chinese Food. I know where I'm coming now. I'm going to Lucky Cityyyy!!! Yeahh!!!!
  
  PS - I might eat dirty tomorrow, so I'll probably eat here! Ha!

  First time after a friend recommended... terrible roti. Dough was dry and hard, filling had no flavor, taste like canned pumpkin and bland spinach can't say much about the chickpeas since I only got 5 beans

  I came here for their $12 Sunday brunch buffet. For the price, it's a very good deal. The selection isn't huge but most of the food that they served was very good. My favorite was definitely the lomein and their Chinese chicken dish. If I come back in the future to get takeout, it's definitely what I'll be ordering. If you like your food spicy, make sure to get the pepper sauce; it tastes excellent.
