Terrible....waste of money.

by adm42907

We went to Lucky Chengs in NYC for my friends Bachelorette Party and it was the biggest waste of money. We got there and from the start the people working there were rude and obnoxious. I didn't know someone could curse so much in a matter of 30 minutes. The place was dirty and we were afraid to even touch anything. We weren't able to order our own meals, we all had to order family style but still pay $32.00 per person. The worst part was that they don't give you enough food for everyone in your party. Then we all got sick from eating their terrible food. The "show" if that's what you'd like to call it was horrible. It lasted all of a half an hour and it was boring and not all at what we expected. At the end of the show we were instructed to give the people a tip because they gave us a show. Umm........I thought that's what the fee for the show was for. The bill came and I gave them the money but was due back some change. Well, apparently they don't believe in giving change at Lucky Chengs so they just never came back and chose to ignore me when I asked about my money. When the show was over we were all left feeling disappointed and hoping we could get back that last hour.

There are so many other places in NYC to celebrate special events. Do yourself a favor and do not go to Lucky Chengs, spend your money somewhere else.

Good Times!!!

by rob k

I came to celebrate my 30th birthday with a group of friends and had the time of my life. I highly recommend this spot if you want an unforgettable night of the wild kind. The atmosphere was so high energy and glamorous. That and the potent drinks put us in the mood for an outrageous night ahead. The food was good, but the best part was the show. The costumes and performances were amazing. A gorgeous Asian performer named Tiara dazzled. And Paulina (the Princess of power) was hysterical. The Chocolate shoe was a yummy rich dessert that topped off the evening...highly recommend it !

• Pros: Awesome show +great food +stiff drinks =good times !
• Cons: None

Crazy Fun For A Bachlorette Party

by anneanneanne

I wasn't expecting to laugh as hard as we did. Had expected it to be cheesy, like Chucky Cheese's for bachlorettes, but my god, the show was hysterical. The food was good, we got the expensive menu and it was delicious., and not bad at $40 per person. Drinks were great, we went with the volcano bowls which ended up being a great deal. Lucky we all made it home alive. My eyes were so red from either the hangover or from laughing, I had to run out for Visine!!! If considering a bachlorette party, OH MY GOD!!!!!!

• Pros: I have never laughed so hard in my life
• Cons: The drag queens were prettier and the hangover awful

HORRIBLE!!!!

by jose

IVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A PLACE LIKE THIS! I WALKED IN FOR A BIRTHDAY DINNER AND THE BOUNCER FIRST TOLD ME TO SHUT UP BECAUSE I ASKED HIM WHY HE WAS FOLDING, SCRATCHING, TWISTING AND ALMOST BREAKING MY ID TO SEE IF IT WAS FAKE! I GO IN AN THE PLACE IS HORRIBLE, TACKY, AND SMELLS LIKE SH..... THE DRAG/HOSTESS LOOKED MISERABLE, WAS VERY RUDE AND DID NOT HELP ME AT ALL. I COULD NOT LOCATE MY FRIENDS BDAY TABLE. I ENDED UP IN THE BAR HAVING A FUNKY TASTING DRINK (AT LEAST THE DRAG/BARTENDER WAS NICE) AND EVENTUALLY WE ALL LEFT THE PLACE AND WENT TO EAT ACROSS THE STREET. IF I DONT LEAVE A REVIEW I WAS GOING TO EXPLODE...

• Pros: PROS??? JAJA

Most Fun in ages!

by John23

We went to Lucky Chengs on a thursday night for a friends Birthday. Didn't know what to expect, all i'd heard was the wait staff were something to be seen to be believed. Had the Pupu Platter to start which was a great selection of seafood and skewers, steak with yummy diced potatoes for dinner and then a Lychee infused Tequilla cockail for desert!! Can't blame a guy, by this point the Waitresses were living up to their wild reputation and we were having a ball with them! But the Karaoke with Miss Tobell was the kicker, we went downstairs and I lost count of cocktails and even ended up on stage with a friend putting all our Song Star practice into action.. a star is born!! Brilliant night, you gotta try it!

• Pros: Atmospehere, Waitresses, Yummy Food
• Cons: One too many cocktails!

TRASHY DIRTY FILTH - STAY AWAY - BEWARE of Garbage Restaurant!

by mem23

This place is one of the most disgusting places i have ever subjected myself to. I went for my cousins bachelorette party, expecting a fun night of laughs and entertainment. Instead we got money hungry "tranny wannabes" whos only care was to find a way to con you into giving up your money to be "entertained" (which they weren't even capable of doing). On top of the over priced food, horrible service, horrible entertianment, & dirty environment - the management was the worst. The coat check woman lost my ticket and argued with me for over 20 minutes that i need to prove to her somehow that it is my jacket. I called management and they told me to basically f**k off and listen to her. Furious i walked away and as i turned my back i got a hanger thrown into the back of my head...and the manager just stood there..lets just say it ended with a phone call to the police and 311 to notify them of the situation. so my suggestion to all of you. AVOID THIS DUMP AT ALL COSTS!

• Cons: dirty, over priced, rude staff

TERRIBLE SERVICE, OVERPRICED AND NOT WORTH IT!!!!

by annaaz123

This place has by far the WORST service I have ever received in any restaurant. Not only were the wait staff completely rude (waitress DARIA was particularly RUDE), but the management was completely disinterested in hearing out our complaints. Instead they kicked our group out of the restaurant because we did not order our food fast enough. Then they brought us a bill for an unreasonable amount of money considering we did not even get a chance to order food. Not to mention that the performances were too loud, to the point that it was impossible to hear the person next to you, and the humor was completely stale and uninteresting. Overall this is the worst place you could possibly go to, unless you enjoy being treated terribly!

Also the coat check guy mixed up the tickets to the coats, and then refused to give back my friend her coat back! He was so rude and mean about it that he brought the girl to the verge of tears. Mind u, it was 8 degrees outside.

WORST WORST WORST place. DO NOT WASTER YOUR TIME HERE.

• Pros: None
• Cons: TERRIBLY service, management, atmosphere

Needs Remodelling, Total Renovation, a Dump, Overpriced, Disappointing!!

by foodloverzz

Like what they say "don't set your hopes too high" I don't even know where to start, I don't really leave any comments like this but this time I know I have to for the sake of their customers and I will feel bad for people who would come here and spend a lot of money for something that's not worth it at all. I eat out a lot, love food, and been to a lot of great restaurants in NYC but this place doesn't even come close. Went here as a group to celebrate my friends birthday. Came on time 'cause I heard they don't sit an incomplete party. Here's how I would describe it:

NEIGHBORHOOD: Dirty, Nasty, Not so convenient

BAR: which is the 1st thing you will see as soon as you walk-in is a very tiny and dark place-u don't feel

welcome at all.

DINING ROOM: It couldn't get any darker, you wouln't see your food...I like to see my food especially in

a place where I haven't tried before. They only turn some lights on when introducing some of the

trying hard performers. Too crowded which is surprising, not a lot of room.

MEAL: Our waitress "Michelle" she was nice and friendly but before taking our orders she had to say get

the $40 per person 'cause the food is a lot better than the $32 and $36 ones, which I didn't think it

would make any difference. Ended up getting $40 per person anyway thinking it's better!

FOOD: nothing special..to me it's just like one of the ordinary chinese restaurants not even as delicious as

the chinese restaurant that I know in Chinatown. I think it's a rip off..they take advantage of their

customers.

SHOW: I can't even call that a show...just some trash talking and desperate comedians who walk around

with their underwear or some funny costume ( their not real girls by

the way). Awful.

I don't care how much I pay for my food as long as the food is great, the service and the place. It has to be worth it. LUCKY CHENGS...IT'S A SHAME!!!

• Pros: The service and that's about it
• Cons: Ambience, Neighborhood, The Show, The Price
