lucy's north china cuisine

i love lucy's , it never fails. always good food. the fried rice isn't how i like it but you add some soy sauce and it almost perfect. i love how their food doesn't have msg in it. one of the onlychineseplace i eat at now. nothing compares. i even like their egg rolls and i usually hate those.

go-to delivery favorite. i love the sesame chicken combo! the food is basic but dependable. good food and good portions. lucy's is my go-to restaurant for orderingchinesefood!

diced peking chicken, grandmas noodles, garlic eggplant. they were all very good! i have to beg my husband to go out forchinesefood, not anymore. he said it was very good and i agree :)

different experience, but ended up pleased with some good food. okay, i have lived in san francisco for a number of years and i lovechinesefood. my experience has ranged from some really bad places to some great restaurants offering excellent selections and exceptional service. looking for a goodchineseplace in fargo seemed unlikely, but lucy's - with their high rating - got my attention.

when we pulled up front, however, i had some real concerns about this place. non-impressive, low-key. then, we walked in and there was this sign that says, "take a menu and seat yourself." okay.

then, we sat there wondering if someone was going to come by and take our order. waited, waited until i realized that i would have to go up to the front counter and place the order there and then pay for it upfront. that was different - kind of like a fast-food experience. i did not provide a tip on the credit card because i first wanted to see if the food was good. so . . .

the order was processed quickly with the appetizer (starter) coming out with everything else. at first glance, i was not too impressed, but we both ate the selections (sweet and sour chicken, moo shu pork, and pepper steak) and found the food had a good flavor that made up for the lack of any visual appeal. the only item that seemed a little dry was the fried rice special (chicken, beef and shrimp).

all and all, the initial experience was a little odd, but the food was good. so, they earned a small tip for the food, but not a 20% for the lack of service. a 3/5 rating and a "may come back" vote for lucy's.

authentic beijing! best in town. i've been to china many times, and this is as close as you'll find as authentic. the complaint about "bland" rice is typical...the reviewer is used to the soy sauce-laden, americanized version. lucy's is exactly what you get in china, and it has awesome taste. the pork fried rice is the best. same with the dumplings...they are the real deal. if you like msg and commercialchinesefood, don't go here. this is (mostly) homemade, and most can taste the difference!

bestchinesein town!. i waited quite awhile before i went to this restaurant..as it was in a strip mall..it made me slightly nervous. but after hearing so much great feedback, i decided to try it. restaurant is simply decorated and clean. menu is big, and easy to follow. it isn't your typical sit down restaurant, meaning you go up and order your food at the register, and then grab your silverware and drink, but its so worth it. food always comes out within 10 minutes no matter how many people are in your party and always correct and hot. i've tried 6 or 7 different items on the menu and have never been disappointed.

bestchinesein town. best! so good, so fresh, perfect lo mein.

one of the worstchinesefood i've had anywhere. never, ever going back.

ugg!. you cant believe everything you read on urban spoon, went to this dive the other night and had the worstchinesefood i have ever tasted. bland goop overladen with cheap sauce. my dog would have had trouble with this stuff, in fact his cousin may have been in the recipe. stay away.

food just okay, no service. after reading the good reviews in urban spoon decided to give lucy's a try, a lot of reviews said "not a buffet", sure it wasn't a buffet but there was also no service. were given menus a seated ourselves, when it came time to order we had to walk back to the register and order and pay, food arrived without plates or utensils, had to ask. food just okay, the special pork dish was excessively greasy other dishes came out cold, all served with tiny bowls of rice. seems like a lot of reviewers in the fm area have never had a goodchinesemeal if anyone thinks this place was even good!

we had generals chicken & chicken fried rice with the half moon flat bread as an appetizer. this is by far the bestchinesefood in town! i won't go anywhere else for chinese. bomb dot com. ha!

really good, fresh food! the best i have had in the fm area yet and i have tried the majority! we ordered the famous grandma noodles with chicken, general tao's, sweet and sour chicken and chicken cashew- everything was great! it seemed less greasy than mostchinesefood which was great!

goodchinesefood. this place is quite possibly one of the best places in far to getchinesefood. the noodles are delightful, spiced appropriately, and reasonably priced. the fried rice is unfortunately not even spritzed with soy sauce, which is a shame. more like plain old white rice with some egg, carrot and peas, big disappointment. my only quibble is that some dishes which ought to be quite piquant simply are not, and when you ask that they are, they only approach moderate levels. i know i'm in far, but not everyone demands that pace extra mild salsa be served with their plain, unsalted chips.

excellent food!. finally a place where thechinesefood is different and sumptuous! grandma's noodles a must hve for this place. i had the grandma's noodles and braised beef sichuan. the beef was really spicy n hot! a little greasy but worth it. they are one of the quickest services i hve seen in town! every dollar is worth in this place. and servings are really good! go check it out today if u havnt! n yah the scallion pancakes r yumm too so are the dumplings!

bestchinesefood in fargo!. lucy's serves deliciouschinesefood that doesn't' make you hate yourself afterward. everything is fresh, tasty, and not completely engorged with msg. love this restaurant.
