  The food was great, everything I had was delicious but the most outstanding feature of this restaurant is the excellent service. Rarely have I seen a restaurant where each employee put this much effort into their work and seemed like they enjoyed doing so. In sum very good food and great service!

  The food was alright. I think I would still prefer traditional dim sum with a better balance of portion and price. The various steamed Siu Mai and dumpling felt a bit more dry than I cared for. The Luckee Hargow was my favorite. These were essentially the shrimp dumplings. There's the perfect amount of dough and shrimp. One dish that wasn't advertised on the menu online was the Kobe beef rice bowl. I found that just okay. The beef was really grounded up and felt like next to none. The presentation was very nice with an egg (quail?) on top, but I used up quite a bit of their hot sauce to finish it. Personally, I wouldn't go to this higher end restaurant again for lunch or dinner. It might be better to stop along the way to snack on. Overall, service is way above average, but the dim sum is not something I find extraordinary.

  Great service and great food! I will say that for Dim Sum it is VERY expensive. Ambiance is ok, nothing that I would rave about. The drinks were delicious and the bar was very nice. I would say the best part of my experience here was our server. She was awesome, super helpful at explaining the menu and giving recommendations. If you are looking for fancy dim sum, this is your spot.

  Every time you go to a celebrity chef’s restaurant for the first time, you’re hoping that the hype is worth it, and it isn’t an overpriced taste of some fusion type of food. Unfortunately, my experience at Luckee was definitely of the former; overpriced and completely average. I and two others had the Dim Sum for four, which added to about $210 all in with tax and tip. With three people eating the portion size for four, we were still hungry at the end of the meal. While not objectively bad, the dim sum was completely average; in fact, I would argue that there are numerous places in Chinatown that have better dim sum. The fried rice was dry and lacked any real flavor. The offerings might be a creative take on traditional Chinese dim sum, but the dishes just don’t taste GOOD. For the price, I feel like you’re paying more for the service and the environment as opposed to the food. Service is top-notch and very attentive, and the atmosphere is fancy without making you feel stuffy. However, it won’t make it for the thoroughly disappoint food. Maybe I, as a Chinese person growing up on my dad’s cooking (and the local family-run restaurant), just don’t understand the uniqueness of the dishes. I won’t be back in the future.

  Came here a Summerlicious lunch with a few friends. Ordered the chicken salad for appetizer, and the baked chicken for the main course. The chicken was okay although it lacked flavor. The baked chicken was soft and tender and flavorful and came on top of some sticky rice. The dessert was a tea spoon of very flavorful ice cream (very good), a small piece of sponge cake and a small fried glutinous rice ball in chocolate sauce. The overall experience was so so. After spending close to $30 on a lunch ... I was still hungry.
