Lucky House

We stopped by after picking up Megastar to go. We needed dumplings to pair with our roast pork and roast duck combo we had just ordered from Megastar. Thankfully they were across the street so we didn’t have to travel far. The restaurant was busy on a Sunday afternoon. The parking lot was almost full. I ordered the siu mai, steamed shrimp dumplings, steamed shrimp and chive dumplings, and the green beans with garlic. I paid $36 for everything. What a great price. The dumplings were all huge. The siu mai were a good three biter. The shrimp dumplings were smooth with chunks of shrimp. A simple yet delicious har gow. We also really enjoyed the shrimp and chive. These were made fresh , I had to wait a little longer for these to come out. Well worth it. The chive gave it a nice flavor. A good price for sizes. Also the green beans! A whole takeout container for $7 . The best garlic green beans I’ve had. You must try their chili oil as well! Not that spicy at all. I could finally douse my dumplings in a chili oil. Can’t wait to come back and try more dumplings.

Fast and friendly service. I appreciate the cart service dim sum, but I was a bit disappointed that the non-steamed dishes were somewhat cold and the dishes were pretty pricey.

I met a Facebook Marketplace buyer at this spot and decided to try out the dim sum. Surprisingly, it was delicious! Don't judge a book by its cover. The friendliness of the staff varied; some were nice, while others were not so much. They do offer spacious parking on-site. The atmosphere is pleasant, spacious, and tidy. I'd rate this place a solid 4.5 overall.

*** we returned for Dim Sum this weekend and it was the first time we had had cart service in years. It was a fully enjoyable experience and we will be back. The Siu Mai Dumplings are excellent but my favorite is the sticky rice and steamed black bean spareribs. My husband really enjoyed the steamed bean curd roll and the deep fried shrimp dumpling. We tried a lot of items but there's so many more to come back for. We ordered take out from here tonight for the first time and I'm really glad we did. Excellent customer service from the gentleman that took our order over the phone and then helped us when we arrived. We'll definitely be coming back for Dim Sum service. We ordered the house special chow mein with crispy noodles, Bok choy with garlic sauce, sweet and sour pork, tofu stuffed with shrimp, Siu Mai dumplings and sesame balls. I really appreciate when a place knows how to pack their food for takeout and everything stays hot and crispy. The house Chow Mein was really good but the garlic sauce on the Bok Choy was amazing and we spooned some of the sauce on the noodles too. The sweet and sour pork had a lot of nice big pieces and the batter wasn't too thick or gooey inside. The S&S sauce has zip which I really enjoy. The dumplings are huge and really tasty, you can always tell good Dim Sum by the Siu Mai and these were pretty good. Sesame balls were ok but they're my favorite and I will eat them no matter what. Looking forward to dining in soon

I dined in at Lucky House with my family for lunch, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. We ordered a variety of dishes, including radish cake, shrimp rice noodle roll, pea vines, shrimp & chive, steamed bean curd roll, and several other dim sum items. Each dish was delicious, and the chili oil was particularly flavorful, pairing well with the food. I also appreciated the quick and efficient service. Overall, I highly recommend Lucky House. I would come back!

I drove in after work out of curiosity. Consider both my curiosity and my appetite absolutely satisfied. I will be eating here again and bringing my wife next time. Very friendly, large portions, food was pretty fast, and good for the price.

Do not get their spicy chicken with garlic sauce. Ain’t nothing spicy about this dish and it’s full of vegetables with 4 pieces of thin chicken. Service is okay the waitress always seems annoyed and rushes you to order. Your food will also arrive within 5 minutes warm and not steaming hot so I’m not sure if they’re freshly making their food.

An excellent and exceptional place for dining in or taking out! I gave me so much I could eat for 3 meals... terrific taste, great service, pleasant atmosphere!

One of only two dim sum restaurants I know in this state that still carry their dim sum goodies in carts being manually pushed between tables... very sad times we've come to. I came here with a group of ~15 around 11:30am on a Sunday, and my sis made a reservation for the place just in case. It actually wasn't busy at all, but for our group we had to be split into one large roung table and a separate 4-person table. We ordered mostly the usual stuff, but everything overall was better quality than I had remembered from when I went here with my family many years back after a trip to the Puyallup Fair (yes I still call it that because Washington State Fair doesn't roll off the tongue...). I get dim sum a lot so I'll only list the notable things here: - The shrimp with spinach dumpling was interestingly good. It was essentially a regular har gow with a strong spinach taste if you look past the color. - Egg tarts were probably my favorite; they had a flaky crust to theirs and the taste between the crust and the yolk was very balanced. - The siu mai was very fresh; I remember it was piping hot when servers brought it to us by cart. A pretty solid place for dim sum and I'll most likely come back here again after another special event for sure!

It has been a while since coming here to enjoy some dim sum for lunch! I like coming here for the convenience and also their dim sum is good! As soon as we entered we were greeted by the very kind hostess and she was able to get us a seat right away, too. The restaurants interior is a bit crowded the way they have arranged their seatings, not sure how else they can possibly make more room because the place it self isn't that big. I'm pleased with the dim sum here. A few of my favorite things to order is the beef tripe, shui mai, and the fried shrimp balls! I love how they give you the honey walnut prawn sauce on the side, too! Yummy!

Not clean didn't smell good for a restaurant where you sit and eat. Being from California i see things different

Great food. Terrible service. Haven't felt that unwelcome in a place in a long time. Great for a first date I was on. From the moment we sat down the woman serving us acted like we were putting her out and it was close to closing time. They were going to be open for a few more hours. Getting our leftovers boxed was clearly a task that was looked down upon based on the woman's reaction. The man that welcomed us when we came in was fine. But, yeah, my date felt very disrespected. Which is too bad, as she really liked the food, too. Won't be back.

Love the shomai here! The service was great this time around. We were bummed that the eggplant didn't have sauce butt they made a sauce for us that was good. Loved the honey soy spare ribs and the crispy shrimp balls. Love how they keep it traditional with the carts and making sure we have many options. I always preferred these types of places over Dough zone or din tai fung.

I thought it was little sketchy about this place so I have been avoiding to visit but it was wrong! Great place for quick dimsum anytime. My favorite is shumai (shrimp pork dimsum) it is giant in size and very chucky. Beef tendon has crazy the most chewy texture in the world and I love it! Shumai ***** Beef tendon ****( dont like the curry sauce as much as the texture lol) Pan fried radish cake **** Shrimp with Scallops **** Tofu shrimp **** Eggplant ** Chinese broccoli ***** Snap peas with garlic sauce **** Fried rice roll *** I havent had other Chinese dishes they have but dimsum tho. Can't wait to try out other dimsum menus and their dishes eventually.

Mediocre food, lackluster service. $1.25/person for tea. No wait at 10:30AM on a Saturday. My favorite thing about Lucky House is the carts with food already available - one has steamed items and one has fried and baked stuff. However, none of the dishes I usually get at a dim sum restaurant (Siu Mai, Steamed Bean Curd Roll, BBQ Pork Bun, Custard Bun) stood out; all were just alright. We spent a little over $60 for 2 adults and 3 kids, which isn't cheap, especially for the food quality.

This place had the best dim sum I've ever had! The best of the best! The golden shrimp and chive dumplings will knock your socks off! They are beautifully seared, juicy, and so flavorful! The short ribs are seasoned to the bone and so tender! Their shumai is off the chain! So flavorful and well cooked! Lucky house knows what they are doing!

Yummy food, very sweet people. Thank you so much! Beautiful environment & family friendly. I ordered pea vines & they came with garlic. Portion was good for 1-3 people. Then I tried the pork soup dumpling which I loved. The hot tea is 1.25 per person so I enjoyed a full pot of tea for myself for only 1.25. Hospitality is good here.

we LOVE this place!! best dim sum ever! very authentic! wonderful service! love to take family here with the lazy Susan tables perfect for family gatherings! Best Hot and sour soup in the world!

It's rare to find push carts dim sum to relive my youth. This place is located in Kent and there's ample of parking in the lot. The service was impeccable, the staff was really nice. We came here on Friday for lunch. I noticed a lot of people ordering to-go. It wasn't too busy when we came but there's a lot of tables, and I can see it filling up over the weekend. There's two carts; one for the fried food and the other for the steam food. There's a lot of selections, so you can pick as many as your heart desire. The dim sum was pretty good. The sui mai has a nice size to it. Chicken feet was okay. Couldn't go wrong with the radish cake. I would totally recommend coming here, as there isn't much of a wait on the food like other places. It's a typical dim sum restaurants, for a nice get together with friends and family.

In South King County, the options for Chinese Dim Sum begin to dwindle due to the restaurants available to make these tasty little dishes. All of these dishes are known worldwide, and all are favorites. But again, where would you go? Look no further than Lucky House in Kent, WA! This restaurant is a blessing as it has dim sum every day until 9pm! Most restaurants close up their dim sum service at 3pm, if you're lucky. Being in Kent makes this restaurant a gem. Lucky House does serve a broader traditional family-style Chinese menu for lunch and dinner. However, if you are like me and looking for specific dim creations that hit the spot, this is your place. The dim sum classics are here: shiu mei, har gown, and honey walnut prawns. However, if you want seasoned chicken feet, banana leaf wrapped sticky rice, or stramed gai lan (Chinese broccoli) topped with oyster sauce... they got you! Steamed desserts are also available. So, make room steamed rice cakes and tea! Now be advised, if you're looking for fancy or impressive Chinese decor, this is not the place. This is Chinese casual dining. But the food is good. The selections are hearty, and this is a place you definitely don't mind coming back to! Thanks Lucky House!

Hidden little yum cha restaurant in Kent. Near Kent station/ Kent downtown. The restaurant has its own parking lot (free of course) We got there right at 10am on Saturday when they opened. There was no cars in the parking lot so we were nervous. The windows from the outside is dark so we can't see inside We were the first customers to arrive. They sat us right to away, asked us what tea we wanted. The ladies with the dim sum cart came over right away asking us what we wanted to get Steaming hot food came off the steam cart for us. Everything was delicious and generous size. As we were finishing up around 10:35am, more and more customers started filling up the place (but still have empty tables) The food here is good and minimal weight. Since the food is on the cart you can get what you want right away. No need to order from iPad and wait like the "modern" dim sum/ yum cha places Staff seemed cold at first, but I think that's just the Chinese way, we don't show a lot of affection LOL. But they were really kind. One of the lady was complimenting our kids and it made our kids so happy Must come check it out! Highly recommended. They have high chairs and boosters.

Good food friendly service. I have been eat;ing here for years and the food is consistent.

Extremely clean bathrooms! The service is decent. I was looking to try dimsum in Washington for the first time but was disappointed in the food quality and presentation. Lots of the food was lukewarm and had little resemblance to authentic dimsum that I have had in other parts of the country and world. Specific mentions: The seafood tofu soup was extremely disappointing -- no egg white, crab, etc that you would typically find at other places. The cha siu bao was decent, a bit too sweet and the insides were unevenly filled. It had been sitting on a cart so it was cold. The xiao long bao was also cold, not much soup and thick skin. The lo mai gai was decent but didn't have much meat in it. The shrimp dumplings and chiu chow dumplings were ok. The skin tore too easily and the taste was mediocre.

We ordered moo shu, pot stickers, siu mai, and crab Rangoon, cakes. No matter how many times we keep coming back for a delivery they forget half of our order then want to argue with you about it. So if you have other options find another this was close to our house don't was convenience that keeps turning into frustration

Great place for dim sum all day long. One of the few places still serving it by push cart. Often use them for takeout.

We came in on Saturday afternoon for some lunch! We were able to be seated right away, and we loved the decorations in the restaurant. When we were seated, there was food that was immediately available and pushed to us on a trolley. It was awesome to not only be able to see the food up close before ordering it, but choosing which one specifically. We ordered a bunch of food! The Garlic Green Beans- these were incredible. They were fresh, bright and went with everything. We couldn't stop eating these. Golden Shrimp and Chive-these were really fresh. More shrimpy than chive, but nice. Deep Fried Shrimp Ball-this was okay, although I prefer my shrimp fresh versus fried. I wouldn't get this again. Shanghai Dumpling-very satisfying. I love a good soup dumpling. Pan Fried Rice Noodle Roll- these noodles were rolled up to make thick little noodles. These were a chewy delight, and the flavor was solid. Salt and pepper squid-these were okay. They came with green onions and peppers, and the squid was fresh. I think these could have had a little bit more zing though, and they were a little too oily. I would pass on these unless they changed their recipe. BBQ buns- these were too sweet for me and not enough filling. Not for me at all. Sesame balls-these were excellent! Chewy and not too sweet. They nailed these. We enjoyed our food with their house tea, but heads up they do charge you for the tea-it is not free with the food. We would come back! We found that with their dishes, we either absolutely loved them, or didn't like them at all. They have room to grow, but the favorites of the day (green beans, soup dumplings, sesame balls, noodle rolls) were five star dishes.

This is east Coast Style (NYC) Chinese American food. Finally--after living in seattle for many years we have found a place that serves similar style of Chinese food that is served in NyC.

TOO EXPENSIVE I've been eating here for year but after today it was my last visit. 70 plus tip for dim sum lunch for 2 people And we didn't eat a ton it was 5 dim sum plates and one broccoli, and one peppered squid. So out the door was 82.00 it just too much for lunch. When shrimp and chive 3 pc dim sum is 9.95 that crazy. I can have nice dinner out for 100.00 And it not like it's a fancy dinning experience.

Love this place. The Eggsauce with Shrimp over Rice is probably their most underrated item on the menu. I used to have to go to Chinatown for it but found out they serve it here too! The dimsum was all great too.

Incredible eats, and matching prices, you won't leave disappointed. A favorite of mine is the shrimp and green peppers, but everything I've had has been stellar.

Mercy!!! We use to order all the time, been a couple years craved it tonight!! 20.00 for almond chicken not happening wow!!

Love, love, love this place! Been going here since I was a kid. It's a mom and pops spot. Best Dim Sum around!! Service is always speedy and the employees are friendly. The food is delicious, hot and fresh. Always busy when I come here. They have lazy Susan turn tables, which is very convenient and can accommodate big groups. Highly recommend!

Great neighborhood place! Always smells amazing, cozy environment and kind staff, highly recommend!!

We came in as a group of 7. A service charge of 15% was included in the bill. There were 6 tables of 1 to 4 customer per table plus us. There were three waitresses plus the host. We placed orders of chow fun and Chinese broccoli. They never came. We signaled to the waitresses for dim sum. We were totally ignored. We got up to the carts and brought the dim sums to our table. In addition, the food was warm and the egg tart tasted old liked leftover from the prior day. We will never go back.

Just great dim sum. We took our friend from Taiwan there and she gave it two thumbs up. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but done be put off by it. The inside is clean and delicious.

I have been eating at this restaurant for over 10 years since the last owners' management but after today, I am searching for a better option. I took my mom here for their dim sum lunch and they served us spoiled shrimp balls. I assumed that it was leftover from the previous day because I could taste how sour the filling inside was. Their shu mai was also old as well. One of the waitresses came up to me at the end and asked me why I wasn't leaving a tip and I was dumbfounded since my mom was at the front settling the check. I made it a point to ask my mom if she left a tip on her credit card and she confirmed that she did. We just walked out and that left a sour taste in my mouth, just as their spoiled old foods did.

Was craving some dim sum and my normal spot was packed as usually so went to try this place out. Parking was easy and was able to get seated pretty quick even though they had a good flow of customers. One do the few dim sum places that still have the push carts which has some nostalgia factor. The food itself while pretty tasty, was just too greasy. It just shouldn't pool up in the plates. In a pinch this place will do, but with time I rather wait for the other dim sum place.

Everything from dim sum to all of the Chinese menu potsticker was a giant piece shrimp ball was huge too

YUM DIM SUM!!! If you love Dim sum and don't want to drive to Seattle this is the place! It's awesome!!! Fast efficient service, carts running all the time with a full menu also. If it's not on the cart it will be made to order quickly. It's probably an old taco place converted but it's clean and comfortable enough. The Dim sum is the true goodness here, consistently delicious!!

The food was delicious we enjoyed the Dim Sum. Soup dumplings stuck to the paper so we lost a loot of the soup.

Love this place! They do the cart style dim sum if you're looking for that specific type. Staff is so kind, very quick, and everything tastes so fresh.

I always order thru Uber Eats because I'm a flight attendant and don't drive in the Seattle area. I'm sick of this place! I order so much food from them and they NEVER give soy sauce! What Chinese restaurant does this!! I add notes for extras, they read the notes and charge me for anything extra but ignore the "please send soy sauce packets". It's written on the same note! And don't even select "Add Utensils " because they never send them. To me all they care about is the money and they won't get any more of mine. Period!

The dim sum is great, with a very big selection and they do a great job with services for their customers. They respond to problems and correct them quickly and the food is always consistently good.

Excellent service. The food is some of the best Dim Sum around. Generous portions. A very clean and inviting atmosphere.

So is this the best dim sum in Seattle? No. But hear me out on why I'm giving in 5 stars. We've been coming here for years. The location is convenient, there's always parking available in the lot, and the dim sum menu varied and the food is very delicious. They have lots of tables, therefore we never have to wait to be seated. Most of their tables have large floor to ceiling windows, so you can people watch if that's your thing. Also, I love that we can go in and let them know we don't eat meat. They always remember and give us fresh and hot veggie dim sum that we consistently go back for. Lastly their bathrooms are sparkling clean and beautiful, which tips them over the top as a mom of a potty training toddler

I was craving dim sum since I wasn't able to get a table at Kirin in Canada. Mind you this isn't a comparison. The selection of dim sum is pretty standard. But I wouldn't say they have an extensive list. But you'll find everyone's favorites ie: har gow, siu mai, radish cakes, chicken feet, etc. Which all of them tasted as I would expect this place to taste like. I'm no dim sum connoisseur but I'd come back. It's decent. The location also played a factor into my rating, considering that there's not that much dim sum places in kent. Also they have carts! Most dim sum places don't do carts anymore but surprisingly they did which I enjoyed getting food almost immediately. Look this ain't no Kirin or Jade Garden. But for what it's worth I recommend coming here if you live nearby. If I wanted to get my dim sum fix I'd go here rather than driving 30+ mins.

Food is average at best, kind of pricey in the neighborhood, so called tea is 1.25 per person, it's understandable for dim sum lunch, but dinner time? 2.5 small bowl of rice, 2 dishes (not seafood), walk out $57. For same items in Fairwood, 10$ cheaper likely, with free deserts. Kind of disappointed.

The most expensive dim sum prices I've ever come across and I really don't know why because I didn't find any pearls inside the shumai.

I've known about this place for a while but was never really motivated to venture out from my usual dimsum places.. now I feel like I've wronged myself! This place is a gem. For Kent, it's a diamond. They have all the classics here, its large enough to sit your family comfortably and timely, but also small enough that the carts make its way to you every round they make. Yeah, no need to get out of your seat, flag down your dumplings, and stalk any cart ladies. The people working here are so friendly, it's almost jarring. No one yelling at you or making disapproving faces.. Probably the only non-authentic feeling thing about this place really-- the kindness and patience from the staff as opposed to many other dimsum places :) Everything was great. Too great actually.. The leftovers were also really great.. T____T time to break out the stretchy pants. 4

We usually come here for lunch, but it was our first time for dinner. We (4 adults & 2 kids) were the only ones there up until almost at the end. Anyway, we had our friends order what they wanted since we are celebrating their birthdays. Overall, our dinner was fine except we asked to have the egg drop soup reheated because it was served cold. We had no problem waiting whatsoever. At the end of our meal, I went to the cashier to pay for dinner because I wanted to treat them. After I paid, I returned to our table and checked with them if the receipt was correct. Well, it turned out we were charged extra for the steamed shrimp dumpling. So we asked the employee and told her what happened. She came back basically insisted and argued with us saying she gave two. I personally didn't ate any of the dumplings so I wasn't aware how many we had. But all other 3 adults on the table said we only received 1 steamed shrimp and 2 of the shumai. But the employee kept insisting and basically one of my friend was quite upset when he explained to her again. Long story short, she refunded us. But we're left disappointed because why would we even lie for an $8!? Think about it. Unsure if they have cameras inside but I hope they do so they can review our table and she will see what my friends were saying. It ended our dinner in a bad taste and will probably never return again.

The owners are so friendly, service was good and the food was good. The crowd starts to pick up around noon on weekends. I'm glad there's still a push cart dim sum place around!

Prices are too high for Kent Area. This used to be the spot to go when it was affordable. After the nephew and niece took over, the place has gone down hill. They over charged you for things. it's sad.The food quality has gone down too.

This place is annoying.. he told us 20 minutes then we waited for 40 minutes.. never gonna come back here again. 0 star

Food was terrible and order was short missing fried rice guy on phone was rude...would not recommend

Instead of driving down to Seattle, you can get decent dim sum in the area here. Dim sum is served all day, along with their regular menu, which consists of their lunch specials, family dinner specials, and chef's specials. I normally order food while my team and I are at work, which is down the street. The customer service is okay and English is fair, so no miscommunications. The food is average and the portions are plentiful. Entrees like sweet and sour chicken, Mongolian beef and etc., do not come with rice unless you ask and pay for it. Normally rice would come with an entrée. My most recent visit kind of set me back a few stars. I am the one individual that will accurately check my numbers and totals. When I got rang up, it was for $87 for everything. In my head, I thought it was pricey for what we got, but since I was in a rush to get back to the office, I didn't check. Once I got back to work, I got a chance to add up everyone's total and noticed I was over charged by $12. The numbers didn't add up, even with tax, so I called the restaurant to see what I was charged for. Apparently their prices went up and they never changed them on their paper menus or online. Mind you, I grabbed a paper menu on my way out when I grabbed my food. An example of the price change is the sesame chicken. It was $13.95 on their paper and online menu, but paid $16.95 for it. Dim sum prices were also higher. Example, steamed shrimp dumplings on their menu was $5.75, and now suddenly $6.55. Funny thing is, while I waited for my food at the counter, the dim sum menus were also the same prices as I reviewed. When I called, I spoke to the female owner. She went over the prices with me quickly and the numbers added up fine. I then proceeded to tell her that I shouldn't have been charged what I was, because I should have been honored the prices that I saw, but I wasn't willing to drive back out especially while at work. I took the hit and accepted it. At the end, I wanted to explain to the lady that they should update their website and paper menus because the next person will not be so kind. She proceeded to raise her voice as I needed to hear her explain the prices again. I kept persisting that she just needs to hear me out and just update their prices. She really didn't get what I was trying to tell her until finally I started laughing at this situation, because here I am trying to be nice and prevent her business from dealing with an unpleasant customer for this exact situation. So I finally just said, "Look, as a business owner, please listen to your customer's feedback, as this will help you. This is what I get for being nice and not causing a scene? How do you treat those who are mean to you or doesn't pay??" I didn't wanna go there, but just imagine how frustrating that was... After she finally registered what I was implying, all was good and left it as that. So, fair warning, be mindful of what they ring up for you. Otherwise, their food is alright and you don't have to go far for dim sum.

I came here with a large group on a Wednesday for dinner and had the best service on top of a delicious meal. We did family style and ordered at least 10 dishes. Every dish was cooked to perfection and we all left very full and very happy. I would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone who likes to eat!
