I. Love. Lucky. Boy. Seriously. They don't make 'em like this anymore. It's about as divey as you can get without totally scaring away your customers--which I mean in a great way, because the places that haven't ever changed are the places who have a loyal customer base. They don't need to change! I haven't ordered Chinese food here in years, but it's about what you'd expect: Sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, etc. Standard, Americanized fare at a ridiculously reasonable price. The burgers are awesome. You can get a double green chile cheese burger and fries for under five bucks, and it will keep you full for half of the day. Um, did I mention that it is DELICIOUS?! There is something about cooking those patties on a flattop grill that just keeps things greasy and GOOD. If you've only ever driven by Lucky Boy and thought, "God. That place looks..." do yourself a favor: go in and get lunch. It's really an Albuquerque staple that is not to be missed. (Also of note, Lucky Boy is in the opening scene of "Sunshine Cleaning," and yes! Those are the real owners!)

Open the front door I slide across dirty floors Ordering cheap food Warning: This review is going to be the most honest review I've ever written. Read at your own risk. Lucky Boy is one of THE strangest places I've ever eaten. The first time I walked in, I seriously considered running out of the place screaming. It looks dirty. There are no decorations on the walls. There is a large bucket with soapy water that you are expected to bus your own silverware to upon completion of a meal. In spite of that, I was intrigued, so I placed my order... and I've been going back ever since. The menu consists of a combination of Chinese and American food items. When I say "combination", I MEAN combination. They sell an "Egg Fu Young Burger", for example. More traditional Chinese restaurant items (fried rice, wontons, sweet and sour chicken) and American items (cheeseburger, onion rings, fries, shakes) are also sold. All of the food is cheap. SUPER cheap. And it also happens to be GOOD. My usual menu includes: Sweet and sour chicken + onion rings + vanilla shake. Not exactly the breakfast of champions, but tasty nonetheless. Honestly, though, the main reason I keep coming back is that the place intrigues me. It's not the cleanest place. I never eat at the restaurant itself; usually I order takeout on a nice afternoon day and enjoy it at the park down the street. It's not the closest, either. But for some reason, I'm drawn to it. Apparently, the owners (who appear to be the sole employees) have had the restaurant for something like 20 years. They are an long-standing part of the area and community. I can't imagine that they are making major buck$, but they have survived there for decades... and something about that comforts me. So, the next time you are feeling thrifty, do yourself a favor and head on over to Lucky Boy. Order a nice, heaping plate of sweet and sour chicken and a milk-shake. To-go. And perhaps bring your own silverware.

Okay, so I tried the Chinese food (chicken with broccoli) and as it turns out I prefer the burgers. I'm biased though - as I will pick spicy Thai food over Chinese any given day. Still - respectable and a good value.

Lucky Boy. Wow. This place has not changed one bit for as long as I can remember. The food is still good, and the food is still cheap. There's not even a category for it's cheapness on Yelp (Less than $5). It's scary looking inside and out, yes, but do not fear. I'm not a fan of chinese fast food, so all I've ever ordered is burger and fries (which were overdone this last time), but the chinese food has to be good, other people there keep ordering it, and this restaurant is still in business after all these years, given it's poor location and shoddy appearance that's an amazing feat.

Burger is on point! Green chili cheese burger. Don't let the look of the outside discourage you from trying this lovely hole in the wall! Great food.

Lucky Boy is yummy and delicious! Okay, don't judge a book by it's cover because if you do you would run out the door because the seats are old, the tile floors needs a cleaning, and walls well it would need some renovating. That out of the way, their food is good! Fried food, shakes, and hamburgers are yummy. Although what is delicious is the cheap Chinese food, the sweet and sour chicken, egg drop soup(okay), and don't forget the Egg Fu Yuang burger!!! OMG Egg Fu Yuang burger is something you have to try at least.

I've been occasionally coming here for over 30 years, and I've always ordered the same thing: a burger, fries, and an egg roll. All three are delicious. The burger here has a unique taste. Nothing exotic or fancy, just unique. A little like Blake's Lotaburger, but different in a very good way. It is run by a very friendly couple that has been there as long as I can remember. The problem with this place is that, as much as I love the burgers, every time I go there (not that often), there is no way I can escape the feeling that maybe I shouldn't eat there because it just looks very unsanitary. It is run down, and I don't think the owners have put a penny into any type of maintenance, much less renovations, ever. Not even a paint job in over 30 years (or at least it appears that way). It's true, as others have said, that the kitchen is in full view, and it appears to be clean. But everywhere else you look will make you question whether to eat there or not. The floors are dirty. The blinds are old and falling apart. The vent covers are caked in grease and dust. The soft drink fountain machine is no longer working, yet it's still on the countertop gathering dust and grease. The tables and chairs are clean, but they're old and run down. The truth is that on appearance and cleanliness, this is place deserves 0 stars. Yet, because their food is delicious, and the owners are very friendly, and because I've never gotten sick there, I keep going back for more.

Lucky Boy is awesome!! Everything here is good but there are a few standout stars. The sweet and sour chicken is amazing as are the egg rolls!! This means that the combination A is the obvious choice. The chicken is better than the pork. The pork is good, but the chicken is the best i have ever had anywhere!! Unlike your typical sweet and sour sauce, this one is not overpowering with a candy like flavor. The real secret to success here is consistency. The same couple has owned this place for at least 25 years that i have been going and i would swear they haven't aged 1 day. They have deep frying down to an art! The grease temperature is always perfect and so are the results. The chicken is never greasy and neither are the egg rolls. This is a can't miss item at a can't miss Albuquerque Treasure. Like I said at the beginning, everything is good here. The Wor Mein soup is also amazing! It's basically the best bowl of Ramen ever. Don't miss out on this place!

I made my first visit to Lucky Boy last week. It looks like a dive because it is a dive but don't let that concern you. I admit I've always been leery of going to this place because of its run down look, driving by sometimes I wondered if it was still open. I now wish I would have visited this place years ago. There's just no way I'm ever going to make up for all those lost years of inexpensive but good tasting food, especially the green chile, cheeseburger. My loss. If you've ever had doubts about this place because of its run down look then get over it and do yourself a favor and try it at least once. There's not a big menu selection but if you like green chile cheeseburgers then you can't go wrong with that as a first time choice. The double, green chile, cheeseburger was $3.90 and it tasted really good, it was very flavorful. The single patty, green chile, cheeseburger is less expensive but I don't recall its price. Fries are extra, I think a side of fries is $2.00 but don't hold me to it. I didn't get the fries, maybe next time I'll give them a shot. I'm not going to say the Lucky Boy burger is better than Blake's but because the burger was very flavorful then deciding which place is better would simply boil down to personal, subjective preferences. I like the burger at both places. If you want to read a review of a bad burger then read my review of Weck's. On my second visit which was today I got what I think was Combination plate "A", there's combination plates "A", "B", and "C", it was $3.30 and it was okay with a decent sized but not over-sized portion for the price. When I do go back I'll more than likely stick to the green chile, cheeseburger, but not always. Anyways, combination "A" was a choice of sweet and sour pork or chicken, I had the chicken, with fried rice and a very flavorful egg roll. Not bad for the price. I've had better but just to have something different from a burger I could see myself ordering this from time-to-time. Moving on to other information, facing the outside there are no posted hours. Inside the store the barely visible posted hours are 11:00am to 6:30pm M-F and 11:00am to 3:30pm on Saturday. In all seriousness the exterior has not changed for as far back as I can remember. And even though my first visit was last week I'm guessing the interior hasn't changed either. It's owned and run by an elder oriental couple (probably Chinese), the lady said they've been there for over 34-years. They must be doing something right if they've been in business that long and don't feel any need to improve the look of their restaurant. From talking to the lady she knows how the place looks and my best guess is that they really don't care. The lady was very pleasant to talk to and I got the feeling she enjoys conversing with the customers while she's cooking up your food. Again, don't let the dive look scare you. The other reason you shouldn't let the look of this place scare you is the kitchen is open and you can clearly see what is going on while your food is being prepared. Even though I've only been there twice, I will definitely be going back because the green chile cheeseburger was really - really good. And one other thing, this place has no waiter service. You order and pick up at the counter, no big deal. I'm giving this place a 4-star rating because they serve up a great burger and because the egg roll with the combination plate was bursting with flavor. If you read my other reviews up to this point I've only given 2-star ratings. I'm a really good cook and for that it's just hard to impress me. Compared to my other reviews they've done that with just the burger.

Ahh Lucky Boy. The place really could use a thorough cleaning, but I so love it anyways. The menu is a mix of Chinese and American standards, with some combination of the two in the Egg Fu Young Burger. My favorite is the Sweet and Sour chicken combo with wontons. It's very much the small family owned dive on the corner and feels very welcoming. To me, eating there is the dining equivalent of watching Big Trouble in Little China.
(4)Saul R.
Awesome locale, so-so food. The kitchen, which is just behind the counter, visible in all its crusty grease glory, can turn people off big time. I have had good food here in the past. But most of all I just love the sign outside.
(4)John A.
Interesting place. CASH ONLY. The burger was good for the price--more for your money than the franchises. I had the onion cakes which alone are surprisingly filling. Canned soda was a surprise , too. I'll be back to try more dishes to prove the good comments from others.
(4)Customer N.
Uh. Yum! What would we do without Lucky Boy? The BEST Chinese food at around $3.00 a plate! The air conditioning lacks. The floors need a mop. The windows need a squeegee. The walls need paint. And the tables need replacing. But..."I just can't quit you," Lucky Boy! I just can't!
