Steamed vegetable dumplings. No sauce. Shrimp toast. No sauce. Crab rangoon. No sauce. Really? And quality above was sub-par. Not worth it.

Remember the days prior to living in New York City. The Chinese food was greasy, cheap, always made your stomach hurt, but put the biggest smile on your face. That is exactly this place. It's the perfect. Cheap, overcooked, and absolutely delicious. I don't recommend this if you are looking for gourmet chinese with organic chicken and candied walnuts...no no... this is a night of beers and south park. I like the generals and the lake shrimp. Comes with A LOT too :)

I've been ordering from here for more than 2 years, and I've tried all the local Chinese places. The food at Five Luck is consitently good Chinese take out, but not excellent. Have you ever had CONSISTENTLY excellent Chinese take out? If so please share. In the meantime, I am happy to keep ordering consistently GOOD Chinese take out from Five Luck.

We ordered our dinner - soup and two entrees at 5:00, and by 6:30, we had called back twice asking what was taking so long?!? The Wantons were definitely sub-par. Both my Girlfriend and I looked at each other with quizzical looks - Do you taste something weird about these wantons? The General Tso's was actually pretty decent, but the Shrimp with Chinese Veg. was too salty and the vegetables were overcooked. Even the rice left us wanting... All in all, the food was definitely NOT worth waiting an hour and a half, and we'll definitely not order from here again.

I love this place. The food is consistently good, super quick, and incredibly cheap. It is the best Chinese in the neighborhood, and it is way cheaper than some of the other places. I would not recommend eating in- it is just a small hole in the wall, but it is great for take-out. A nice family runs the place, too.

Five Luck is a hole-in-the-wall take-out & delivery place. It's my favorite in the city. I've seen this "mom & pop" spot change hands three times since I've moved to the neighborhood, and I continue to order regularly. While the venue itself is nothing to write home about--worn linoleum, two formica tables, and the ubiquitous backlit menu--I would never describe it as gross. The kitchen and customer areas are kept spic and span. The current owners have been in charge for about 3 years now. It took them a few months to hit their groove, but the food is consistently tasty now. I'm vegan, and they always take special care with my order. I love the chow fun noodles, as well as their various vegetable and bean curd dishes. My non-veg friends have given two thumbs up on several chicken and beef dishes, the egg foo-young, and the moo shu. The staff is usually hard at work, and always friendly. What more could you ask from a $5.00 meal?

Yes, it's cheap. There's a reason for that. Everything I ordered was subpar. The chicken soup, the dumplings and the brown rice were all lousy. The chicken and broccoli was fair but the brown rice we ordered was useless mush.
