Lucky Dragon Cafe

Oakland is a unique place where you can find soul food and local cuisine nestled in the heart of the city. Unlike San Francisco or the South Bay, many people are unaware of the diverse food scene here in Oakland. One evening, I was looking for some fried rice 🍚🍛and, since I was staying nearby, I stumbled upon a charming little spot where I decided to order a combination plate.🍜 The elderly lady at the cashier was incredibly sweet and friendly, and I suspected the chef was her husband. I requested fried rice along with half chow mein, and she provided me with excellent options for that evening. When I went to pay, I noticed that I could add extra shrimp for just a dollar more; I asked her for the shrimp, and she generously gave it to me for free. She was truly delightful! I enjoyed a fantastic dinner that night for about $11, and the portions were enormous. It's these hidden gems that deserve more love and attention, as not many people take the time to review places like this. I rated it a solid four stars overall, with five stars for the atmosphere and service, all thanks to that wonderful couple. While the food was acceptable—nothing extraordinary—I appreciated the experience enough to give the place a strong rating.

The food is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G there! I love Chinese food. Its an hidden gem that you have to look a little hard to catch! I didn't know about it till my mom found it and got us food to try and mannnn, a girl wasn't disappointed but the fact that I didn't know it was there the whole time 🤣😭. The beef n broccoli rice is top tier 😋 I love jt, the prices are decent for the amount of food they give!! They sometimes make mistakes and/or are ina rush so be patient and nice please 😢💙 overall, its a good little take-out food location since it doesn't have seats and tables except for one ( table & seat) and its quite small and VERY simple 🤔😆 Check it out!!!!

The menu is available online. Great prices! Call restaurant directly to order. The food arrived hot and was amazing! The hot and sour soup was mild for my taste, not very spicy but after adding the chili oil it was great.

Usually a solid choice for Chinese....hole in the wall nothing special kinda place. But the last time I picked up food from there I came down with Covid....yes covid in 2025. If your sick don't come to work. Customers shouldn't be risking their health eating from kitchen.

I usually go here when I’m in the mood for Chinese which is probally once a month. Today I decided after 2 days of eating thanksgiving leftovers I would treat me and my kids yo Chinese and I have to say I was disappointed 😠 I got 1 order of salt and pepper chicken wings which is my all time favorite but this time around the flavor just was not their, it didn’t taste like anything and I also got orange chicken which was too hot for my 6 year old and 2 year old their was too much pepper flakes added and the chow mein. had so much sauce on it and was extremely oily which made it hard to eat and instead made me feel sick . I would have to say the only thing I actually enjoyed was the veggie egg rolls. When I called to inform them they responded by saying ok I will let the cook know compaired to the last time I called when my order was no appetizing they had me bring my food back and refunded me everything

Yo the Atmosphere was mad crazy. Not appealing this is probably why people order online. The food was flavorful and delicious. Ordered Singapore noodles, Beef and broccoli over fried rice, chicken wings and crab Rangoon. Singapore noodles were on point with flavor. The beef and broccoli over fried rice was delicious. Broccoli was perfectly softened and beef cooked to perfection. The fried rice had enough flavor and didn’t need extra soy sauce. Crab Rangoon had the perfect meat to cream cheese ratio. Chicken wings were good but left a after taste. Everything was cooked fresh and they gave us plenty of condiments.

Delicious food. My favorites are orange beef, sweet and sour pork and salt and pepper pork chops. Quick delivery time have them repeat your order back to prevent confusion. Enjoy your food.

My family has been ordering from here since before I was even born! I'm 36 now and I have to say, I've never had an order I was disappointed with. Always excellent, quick, and delicious!
