Like others have said, great food for the price. The roast pork with crispy skin is great lunch special is great and one of the better options. They also sell soy sauce marinated duck feet, which are amazing when re steamed the next day. But this is definitely not for everyone.

The gentleman who works the front here is one of the most genuinely nice people and seems to sincerely enjoy serving customers. Every time I call he greets with an immensely positive attitude and takes pride and pleasure in ensuring customers' needs are met. They do a variety of Chinese and Vietnamese cuisines and everything they do is done well with generous portions. My girlfriend was extremely impressed with the salt and pepper shrimp.

Do you like noodles? Order M21 and you receive a hefty container full of freshly wok-stir fried rice noodles with a generous amount of tender shredded chicken and vegetables. M21 is the answer.

I LOVE char sui (Roasted Pork BBQ) and roasted duck. Unfortunately, where I live, the quality of these two dishes has gone downhill. So, on an adventure to find both pork and duck bbq outside of Boston, I visited Lucky Cafe. How lucky was I! The pork was lean, crispy, and had enough fat to keep the meat moist. The duck was also lean and very crispy. Do yourself a favor and get extra sauce with your order. Expect less than $15/lb each for the duck and pork. The owners of the restaurant are extremely kind and helpful when ordering. They speak English, Vietnamese, and Chinese to list what I heard. I can't wait to come back!
