Some of the best Chinese food in the area! Go on buffet nights for the best, freshest, and most value.

It's not the largest, but it's certainly beats all others for freshness and taste. The dining room has great views of the river and the owners and staff people are very friendly. This is always my 1st choice for lunch in Hallowell.

This restaurant has excellent service, and their buffet is very good! The prices are very fair for being situated in the typically over-priced Hallowell, Maine. The restaurant was clean, children friendly, and had a great view.

I share another reviewer's opinion that Lucky Garden has seen better days. I've had magnificent meals there in the past...not this time. I ordered just 3 appetizer items for take-out lunch 12/5/12; Vegetable spring rolls (2), crab rangoon, and hot & sour soup. The spring rolls were the smallest I've ever seen, barely 4" and very thin, though it was... More

This is a popular lunch spot for state workers due to its good food, easy parking and great value. The lunch buffet has fewer options than many chinese buffets but the food is always fresh and not overcooked. Add the view of the Kennebec River and good service and it is an ideal choice for a quick lunch.

We have eaten at Lucky Garden and done take out for many years (nearly 20). Over the past year (probably a bit less), we have noticed a significant drop off in the quality of the take out. They had a number of items that we always order (sesame chicken and orange beef) that were outstanding. The last several times, we... More

Hallowell, Maine, is picturesque but sleepy tourist town where you'll be hard-pressed to find anything that isn't a fast-food franchise or local pizza joint open on a Sunday night. You'll enjoy hot tasty freshly prepared treats here, including all your favorites. And you can be sure the seafood dishes are fresh! The setting on the banks of the Kennebec River... More

I've read the reviews for this place, but I just don't see how it can be so highly rated. I eat in a LOT of Chinese restaurants, and honestly, I rate the Lucky Garden near the bottom of them food wise. Parking can be problematical during the lunch hour, as the place is packed. We managed to get the last... More
