Lucky China - East Hartford

I am from Here but currently live in Florida. For some reason Chinese food is not all that good in Florida , (some say it 's the water) Every time I am home I get Chinese food (and pizza) Today at Lucky China I wasn 't so lucky, I ordered crab Rangoon, sweet and sour soup and General Tso chicken.. I believe the crab rangoons were left over from lunch warmed up in the microwave, they were so chewy I had to bite and rip them with my teeth. The hot and sour soup was any thing but Hot. It actually smelled like bad grease that was left over for a long period of time. It also had a great taste. No flavor )other than a grease like flavor and texture). My dinner looked and tasted like orange chicken, No chili peppers, no zing . Even if it was orange chicken it wasn 't good.. So disappointed.. not worth walking across the street let alone 1200 mile trip,,.

Really wanted to like this place but it 's gone from mediocre/ok to terrible. I 've had a few dishes from here that were pretty decent, but those were a while back. Too bad as it 's one of the closer restaurants to my house but after this last experience I will NOT be returning. The basic 'American-Chinese ' stuff seems to be ok but underflavored, under-portioned and often overcooked or seems like it 's old. That being said, the teriyaki chicken is ok, the egg roll was bland and soggy, the crab rangoons were very small for the amount of dough they were in (though the filling was good, just not enough of it) but the fried rice is a deal-breaker. The picture is an entire pint of Chicken Fried Rice which costs $4.55. Visually it looks like plain yellow rice with very little chicken in it, and that 's essentially what it is but the flavor was incredibly bad. I 've never had fried rice with NO VEGETABLES in it and this doesn 't really taste 'fried ' at all. It does however have a disgusting old oil flavor to it which leads me to believe it was tossed in a wok with dirty oil in it that gives it a bland, burnt flavor. The rice is what brings it down to 1-star, would give it 0 if I could. If they had tossed some peas, carrots and scallions in a CLEAN wok with CLEAN oil that might be 100% improvement but all you get for nearly $5 is a pint of yellow rice that tastes like they poured old, dirty fryolator grease in it. There is barely any chicken in this at all. What you see was after two bites of rice only (hoping I would find chicken and vegetables in a little deeper). Highly disappointing, mostly disgusting.

Terrible food. Arrived very late, was cold, and vested horrible. The chicken fingers were rock hard, the crab Rangoon were greasy, and the shrimp roll, looked like it had been stepped on. They will return our money in 2,3 maybe 5 days . Will never go back there.

Good Chinese food place. They have both lunch and dinner combo specials. I got the orange chicken dinner combo with pork fried rice and an egg roll. Added another egg roll and total was under $10. Can't really beat it.

Ok, where to begin. I ordered sweet and sour chicken (i think) and the chicken chunks were all gristly and fatty. Didn't taste anything like chicken. The sauce it was in was hard and yuck. The egg rolls tasted like they were deep fried in week old oil and were bland. What? No hot mustard? Pork rice had no taste and there wasn't any pork in it. 1 star for the soda. I regret ordering from them.
