Lucky House Take-Out

By far, the best Chinese" food in Orléans! The portions are generous

Great service, got my food fast. Family was happy :). Thank you kindly for your service.

Best Chinese food in Orleans, by far! Friendly staff, great menu choices, very generous portions and reasonable prices. They are our go to" place for take out!"

The lunch special is a generous portion that can be shared or a large portion if you are feeling glutinous.

Fast, friendly, and absolutely amazing. Lucky House is a local gem that always shines brightly.

First of all let me say the quality of the food is great. This place obviously makes great tasting food. My issue is with this whole tipping thing. If you don’t tip for takeout you get “the look” which is quite uncomfortable. If you increase your prices to ensure you cover the cost of tips I will still go and get takeout from you. But please don’t make your customers uncomfortable when they don’t tip on takeout.

Great service and food was very good. My husband surprised me with dinner for my birthday today and the server sent a thoughtful gift with our meal of a chopstick set. Food was very good.

I usually go to Asia wok. Well Asia wok isn't open on Mondays and it just cost them a long time customer.This is my first time ever ordering from here. The food at lucky house is actually very good except for the egg roll. I may have had a bad batch? The chicken balls are now my favorite chicken balls ever. Sorry asia wok,your odd choice of closing on Monday just cost you a customer of 12 years.

A busy day and no plan for dinner? Lucky House turned into my dinner savior in mid-December 2021 on my way back from a business trip. Called the order in ahead and it was hot and ready on time as promised. The pic doesn't show the open end egg rolls because they were snatched up quickly and disappeared however they were contenders to match a certain Carlingwood restaurant. The feature was chicken and broccoli with rice plus a vegetarian spring roll (the thing that looks like a small log on the plate) plus the anticipated fortune cookies. Staff at LH are polite, friendly and prompt. Despite the short drive home the food was still hot and delicious. The spring roll was a real mouthful of veg goodness deep fried. The chicken was tender and the broccoli was still slightly crisp. It was a great first experience of take out with LH and we've gone back several times since. Enjoy!

MISSIONTwo (2) of my humble brothers and I have undertaken the delicate mission to identify thebest Egg Roll, Crispy Beef and, where available, house or chef specialty in Orleans.METHODOLOGYFor the purposes of this empirical study through taste, nine (9) Chinese establishments have been selected, all of which are located within Orleans and all of which are take-outs restaurants.Each dish will be attentively evaluated by using the following marking criteria: Presentation; temperature; taste/balance; sauce; texture; recipe/menu accuracy; overall execution. Dishes will be graded according to the following scale: 1 (Very undesirable) to 5 (Off the Chart!)Egg rolls will be tasted both with and without sauce to ensure better tasting accuracy.WHY THIS STUDYFirst and foremost, for our love of Canadian Chinese food. Secondly, to our knowledge, such study has never been done. Lastly, it has long been said that the best egg roll in Ottawa lies west, at the Golden Palace. However, east is the true way of the Orient and so we hope to rightfully find a true contender to the GP egg roll within the eastern canton of Orleans.This evaluation is number 1 of 9.Lucky HouseLocation: 1675 Tenth Line Rd.Fun Fact: This establishment dates back to 1975. It was originally located in Vanier.Visited: 2019 04 18Order: Four (4) Open End Egg Roll, Crispy Beef, Kung Pao Shrimps and Singapore Vermicelli.Cost: $ 62.15ITEM 1: OPEN END EGG ROLLPRESENTATION: 4TEMPERATURE: 4TASTE/BALANCE: 3SAUCE: 3TEXTURE: 3RECIPE/MENU ACCURACY: 4OVERALL RECIPE EXECUTION: 3TOTAL SCORE: 3,4Nota: The egg roll is perhaps slightly under average in size. The accompanying plum sauce is thick in consistency and slightly bitter to the taste. The tooth first finds a pleasant outer crispiness that then bores into the less than satisfying oil-soaked dough. The inner pork / cabbage mixture has hints of a 5 spice-blend but the overall flavor borders on the bland.ITEM 2: CRISPY BEEFPRESENTATION: 4TEMPERATURE: 5TASTE/BALANCE: 5SAUCE: 5TEXTURE: 4RECIPE/MENU ACCURACY: 3OVERALL RECIPE EXECUTION: 4TOTAL SCORE: 4,2Nota: Good portion served with a scallion garnish. A fine balance of sweetness,bitterness and spiciness. The sauce has a nice mix of sweet tomato paste (not part ofthe traditional recipe) and orange flavors. The beef is tender, moist and lightly crispy as opposed to the traditional Crispy beef recipe which use molasses. Dried tangerine peel / or orange zest (american version) would be nice. All in all, this recipe evokes General Tao’s Chicken which is not bad but....is it still a Crispy beef? Funny enough, we loved this plate!OVERALL TOTAL: 3,8
