"When we first walked through the Lucky Cricket space, it was alongside celebrity chef and Minnesota champion Andrew Zimmern... massive media coverage and a dining room full of rubberneckers... the reality of this suburban mall restaurant... Soleil Ho chronicled her dismay with the interview and dining at Lucky Cricket... James Norton issued an early review noting bad food like cigarette ash-flavored rice... It’s the difference between the promise and the plate that might be plaguing the almost month-old establishment the most... Frozen cocktail shrimp, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and noodles are a salad, but clearly not what was being sold to diners." - Joy Summers
