Lucky Bird - Berkeley

Wonderful food! The new place is now called cousins Asian street food.

I saw so many reviews for this place and really wanted to try it. My bf came here and tried to order a couple of items but they were out of the items. We ended up getting the Ya ya chicken with garlic noodle and hot and spicy chicken fried rice. Both portions were HUGE! But we didn't find it to have much flavor. The garlic noodle was extremely bland and somewhat soggy. The fried rice also lacked wok hay and was a bit too sticky for my taste. Overall the flavors were missing but portions were huge. Would I recommend? Unfortunately no. It's a bit confusing when you order because you enter from one door and there's no real direction. They have a few tables outside for eating. There was a check in offer for a free iced thai tea and when I asked to redeem it they told me they were out. Then they told me they could make it but I had to wait. I waited for it the whole time while we ate and it was still not ready. Then they told me it could only be a hot thai iced tea, so i said that was fine. After eating we still waited for it and it was still not ready. After about 40 minutes or so since the time I ordered it they finally told me that they couldn't give it to me. It was a pretty bad experience. I'd rather have them just tell me that they didn't have it in the first place. Parking can be hard since it's located on a busy street.

Long overdue... We were heading to the area for froyo (yep, all the way from Union City just for froyo... right? since we saw it on TV so we decided to find a spot for dinner. The good ratings lured us in and walked in with a little over an hour before closing. Couple of tables waiting but it seemed empty behind the counter so it took a while for someone to even take our order, and when they did they were out of everything I wanted to order. Stuck with the chicken since that's pretty much what they had left with either rice or garlic noodles. And did I tell you they only had outside seating at the time so we were freezing since the heat lamps were not working since they were out of whatever it is that needs to turn it on, which is not the best situation when there's only one person doing everything, including the cooking. Oh boy... we must've picked the wrong day to come here. Food was nothing to write home about proven by the leftovers, which we opted to box which didn't get consumed either. One of the few times Yelp failed for us, but like I said, could've been wrong timing but still wouldn't go out of my way for a second try.

Came here during open hours and it was closed with absolutely no explanation or warning.

They were out of many food options however, both dishes were a MUST TRY! I feel like I am typically picky with food and these both were excellent!
