I had been here years ago, and had a blast, the place was then clean and bright and very entertaining. I decided that Lucky Cheng's would be perfect for a bachlorette party. We made reservations so that we could enjoy both dinner and the show. They did not have a table for us even though they did have our reservation. We got stuck at a table that was meant for 4 people, not 7 and as a result were practically on top of the people at the next table. We had to hold our plates on our laps as there was no room for them on the table.....that's pretty bad, but we were trying to remain in the sprit as we were there for the "show" . Well there was no show where we were seated, the show was downstairs, I specfically made reservations for dinner and a show, we decided to eat here only because of the show, not the food!! We got to pay $36 each what is no better than take out chinese food, which due to the tight seating was eaten off our laps. The only entertainment was a drag queen that came out and proformed the occasional lap dance, but only when someone was willing to shell out the $25. Again no problem with shelling out $25 for a really good lap dance, but that does not make a show. Very dissapointing evening.....and the place has turned into a dirty dive.....very sad, this was once a fantastic clean place to go.....the owners are obviously just raking in as much cash as possible, and letting the place get run down.

Pros: Fantastic lap dance, very unique. Get a drink at bar & pay for lap dance- Do Not Eat Here!

Cons: Dirty, expensive, cramped, and food is very overpriced, some staff can be very rude.
