If they close at 730-8 they should say. Not sure if they are closed or just don’t want to serve us. My friend really wanted to try it but not worth the uncertainty.

The egg drop soup was delicious and all of the other portions were quite large. Sweet-and-sour chicken scored, high marks, and there was some “boiled chicken” that came with a delicious ginger garlic sauce on the side that I can highly recommend.We always order snow pea leaves as they are often super fresh and delicious and that is exactly what we received here at Lucky eight. Another great choice if you want to get your greens in.I had wanted to order roasted pork ribs, but ended up with sweet-and-sour pork, which was good, but was heavy on the pineapple, I should be expected, my bad.The tea was on the table instantly and dark and delicious. The service was jovial and fun and efficient.If you were in the area and looking for a quick and easy lunch this is a great option.

Only thing and this is actually a good thing. There was only 1 customer finishing their meal as we were seated . I've found this could indicate a really good thing (few if any tourists go to this joint) or a not-so-good thing (poor food and/or service) my 3 stars for ambience; i just would have loved to see more people here (locals) pictures are of my entré (bone inpork rib tips w/rice) my friend ordered the roasted pork over rice. We also shared a bowl of wonton soup.

We didn't know they close a bit earlier due to covid but they did not rush us out the door. The food was priced fair, and it was delicious. Will come back heresoon. Recommended. They accept card also but I think cash is still king

We visited for lunch and it was not crowded. We had an inexpensive and very filling lunch. The service was very friendly and attentive. Friends of ours recommend the place and I can see why. Will be back when I am in theneighborhood again
