"Double Luck is what happens if you give your beloved casual Chinese spot a playlist full of Cantonese pop covers and permission to light their orange chicken on fire. Bring a date here, let the red glow of the lanterns hide any forehead blemish, and savor the fact that you’re probably spending under $100 per person. This place is related to Tam Tam (a fixture on this guide), and it's fun for many of the same reasons: an impeccable playlist, reasonable prices, and bathrooms you’ll linger in." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"The flames from the orange chicken combined with the red glow of this fun Chinese restaurant will really bring out your cheekbones. Double Luck is a blast. You’ll bounce to the Cantopop playlist and browse around the bathroom like it’s a PAMM exhibit. But the real fun happens at the table, where you can share ingenious crab rangoons and piles of crab fried rice while discreetly checking your hair in the mirrored wall. Careful with the mapo tofu and the dan dan noodles. They’re loaded with Sichuan pepper and might make you a little sniffly." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"This incredibly fun Chinese restaurant has the momentum of a snowball rolling downhill. It’s only getting bigger and bigger. By winter, your odds of eating flaming orange chicken and fiery mapo tofu on a Friday night will be getting smaller and smaller. So get there now. It’s air-conditioned, dark, and a perfect summer spot to have in your celebratory dinner rotation. Also, they may temporarily close to renovate the space at some point this summer. Hurry." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Everyone wants to be at Double Luck right now, huddled around flaming orange chicken and nodding to Cantopop. You should join them. The most hyped restaurant of the summer is also one of the best. And since you’re already sweating, order the spicy mapo tofu and dan dan noodles." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"Anything the Tâm Tâm team touches is worthy of a momentous dinner occasion (without the need for a momentous dinner budget). Double Luck’s flaming orange chicken is more evidence of this. The red glow of the very fun Chinese restaurant is equally serviceable for a romantic fifth date as it is for a catch-up dinner with cousins who live on the opposite coast. For either occasion, order a gigantic spread of fried rice, tangy long beans, and mapo tofu. You’ll look at the bill like they made a lucky mistake, and you’ll leave with several bags of leftovers so you can repeat this celebratory meal from your living room." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
